Cultivation Online novel Chapter 368

Chapter 368 - First Defeat

"Well... If he cannot stay here, how about I just follow him outside?" Xi Meili suddenly suggested. "I have always been interested in the outside world, anyway."

"You want to go outside? Are you crazy? The humans will hunt you for your blood! It’s too dangerous!" The Dragon Emperor immediately refused.

"That’s only what our ancestors taught us, but they have also never been to the outside world before. If there are humans like Yuan and Wang Xiuying outside, I don’t think it’ll be that bad."

After a moment of silence, the Dragon Emperor said, "Unfortunately, that’s impossible— not because I don’t want to let you go outside with him. Your cultivation base is simply too high to follow him back to the Lower Heavens, where Spirit Grandmaster is the limit."

"You’re simply asking to be punished by the heavens for doing so."

"Oh, right... He’s from the Lower Heavens..." Xi Meili sighed, completely forgetting about that for a second.

Meanwhile, inside Yuan’s room, Wang Xiuying checked his pulses just to make sure he was okay.

’Seeing him sleep like this... he really reminds me of Yu Tian...’ Wang Xiuying said as she stared at Yuan’s sleeping face with a somewhat dazed gaze.

The more she looked at Yuan, the more she felt like she had seen him before.

"Nnn..." Yuan suddenly opened his eyes slowly.

"Where am I...?" he mumbled in a dazed voice.

"Oh, you’re awake, Yuan. We’re at the Dragon Palace in your room. Xi Meili took us back after you fell unconscious during the match." Wang Xiuying explained to him what had happened.

"I see... So I lost the match, huh?" A smile on Yuan’s face as he realized the situation.

"This was my first time losing a fight," he sighed in a somewhat bitter voice.

Losing felt much worse than he’d expected, especially since it’s his first defeat.

"I wouldn’t really call that a fight... And your opponent has 10 thousand years more experience than you. It’s only obvious that you wouldn’t be able to defeat her no matter your talents." Wang Xiuying said, trying to comfort him.

"I guess you’re right." Yuan nodded.

"Wait right here. I’ll go to Xi Meili to let her know that you’re awake." Wang Xiuying said before leaving the room for a few minutes.

"Xi Meili... she was very strong— stronger than anyone I have ever fought before," Yuan mumbled as he stared at the ceiling with a dazed look on his face.

Sometime later, Wang Xiuying returned with Xi Meili and the Dragon Emperor.

"Are you okay, Yuan? Are you hurt anywhere?" Xi Meili asked him.

"I am fine," he said.
