Cultivation Online novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29 - Leaving Spirit City

"Xiao Hua, it’s about time for me to log off for dinner. I will be back later." Yuan said to her sometime after leaving the Cultivator shop.

"Where will you go during my absence?" he then asked her.

Xiao Hua pointed to the necklace around his neck, and she said, "You can call Xiao Hua using the necklace whenever you are back."

After saying those words, Xiao Hua’s body began glowing, before being absorbed into the necklace.

"What a profound necklace..." Yuan mumbled to himself before logging off.

After logging off the game, Yuan patiently waited for Yu Rou to bring him dinner, and he felt as though time had stopped.

Unlike the colorful world in the game, the real world was pitch black, almost like he was living in the void, and his body felt nonexistent.

’Haaa... If only I could live inside Cultivation Online forever...’ Yuan sighed inwardly.

After familiarizing himself with the world inside the game, his perception of the real world became even worse, and it felt even more lonely than usual.

Inside the game, whether it be the pedestrians or just the noises nature made, it was always lively. However, whenever he returned to his own room, the only thing he could hear was the sound of his own heart beating and very rarely subtle noises from outside his room, a world he hasn’t stepped foot in for many years.

After waiting around for a few minutes that felt like hours, he could finally hear footsteps approaching his bed.

However, he could immediately tell that it was not Yu Rou, as these footsteps were too heavy to be Yu Rou’s, so it was someone else in his room.

"Who’s there...?" Yuan asked in a hoarse voice.

"Young Master, the Young Lady is currently busy with the Masters, so I will be taking care of you for today." A voice belonging to a middle-aged woman responded.

"..."

"For today’s dinner, we have beef soup with—"

"It’s fine..." Yuan suddenly interrupted.

"I am not hungry today..."

"Even if you say that... I have a job to do..." The person sighed in a troubled tone.

"I won’t... repeat myself..."

"..."

Silence filled the room, and a moment later, the middle-aged woman spoke, "I understand. Please rest well, Young Master."

The door closed a few seconds later, and Yuan could barely hear the person who just left coldly snorting in disdain.

"With that useless body, it’s a miracle that he hasn’t been tossed out of this house already..."

"..."

’I can still hear you, you know?’ Yuan smiled bitterly.
