Chapter 906 – Meeting White Lotus (2)
“Yu Rou is one of the most talented new recruits we had recently, so it’s hard to miss her. But to think that she was the little sister of ‘Yuan’, I am truly speechless.” White Lotus said.
“How is she doing in the faction? It’s been a while since I spoke with her. Although she’s called multiple times, I am always busy, and when I try calling her back, she’s busy with practice, so I haven’t been able to speak with her recently, not to mention the difference in time zone.” Yuan sighed.
“Yu Rou is very diligent in her training. She’s always the first one there and the last to leave. Because of her commitment, she’s earned all of the instructors’ respects. For her to have such discipline, she must have wonderful parents.”
“…”
When their parents were mentioned, Yuan’s expression suddenly turned cold, and killing intent began leaking from him.
‘Eh?’ White Lotus was quite startled by such a drastic change in atmosphere, and she began worrying that she might have said something she shouldn’t have.
“Excuse me.” Yuan noticed the scared look on White Lotus’ face and quickly controlled his emotions.
“I’m sorry if I—”
“No, it wasn’t your fault. I just remembered some unpleasant memories, that’s all.”
And he continued, “Anyways, I know that I am asking a lot from you, but if you cannot let me meet with Yu Rou at your place, can you help me meet up with Yu Rou somewhere outside? I want it to remain as a surprise, so if you could, don’t let her know that she’s going to meet me.”
White Lotus pondered Yuan’s request as she looked at Xu Hei, who was still sitting on the table and licking its lips.
“Alright, I will make it an exception and allow you to enter our land to celebrate Yu Rou’s birthday.”
“Really? Thank you!” Yuan immediately smiled.
“This is the least I can do for you. Just let me know when you plan on stopping by.” White Lotus smiled back.
“Great!” Yuan proceeded to tell her the date of Yu Rou’s birthday.
Sometime later, he asked her, “Since we’re already here, why don’t we eat something? It’ll be my treat.”
“Sure.” White Lotus nodded.
Once a waiter approached their table, they began ordering their food.
Due to their table’s small size, Yuan decided to order a simple dish and some tea.
While they waited for their food, Yuan asked, “I have been wondering about how other Players enjoy their time in Cultivation Online. Can you tell me some of your experiences in this world? In return, I will tell you some of mine.”
“Sure.” White Lotus accepted without hesitation.
After all, any information about Yuan’s experience was incredibly valuable and highly sought after by the entire world.
And for the next twenty minutes, White Lotus recalled some of her adventures with Yuan.
Although they were not as grand and as exciting as Yuan’s adventures, it was still interesting in its own way.
Once the food was ready, they took a break from talking to eat and enjoy the music.
Afterward, Yuan shared some of his earlier experiences with White Lotus.
He spoke about how he’d fought a horde of monsters to protect Pang City. He spoke of his experience at the Dragon Essence Temple and how he participated in a zither competition with a fellow disciple. He spoke of the Mystic Realm. He spoke about powerful entities known as demons, and how he’d visited a world of dragons that looked like humans.
White Lotus was absolutely captivated by his wondrous experience— so much so that she’d completely lost track of time.
In fact, she had a thrilled expression on her face the entire time, but she was too absorbed to be aware of her own expression.
White Lotus wanted Yuan to continue his story forever, but the Wuyue Pavilion had a closing time, and it was reached before either of them were aware.
“Excuse me, esteemed guests. Wuyue Pavilion will be closing soon. However, if you wish to stay here and continue chatting, you are free to do so.” The manager of the place approached them in a timid manner, as he was afraid to anger them by disturbing their peaceful atmosphere.
“It’s already closing time? I’m sorry, Yuan. I didn’t intend on taking up so much of your time.” White Lotus said to him.
“It was enjoyable, so I don’t mind.” Yuan smiled.
White Lotus nodded and said, “Let’s continue this conversation another time.”
“Here is my phone number. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to call.” She retrieved a piece of paper and started writing on it.
“Thank you.” Yuan accepted the paper and memorized the number with a single glance.
“I know you’re coming for Yu Rou, but I look forward to your visit as well. Goodnight.” White Lotus said to him before logging off.
Yuan logged off shortly after.
After logging off, White Lotus removed the helmet and proceeded to stare at her ceiling with a dazed look on her face.
“Yuan, huh? What an intriguing person. He’s nothing like the rumors.” A gentle smile appeared on her face.
Then she realized something.
“I completely forgot! I wanted to ask him about his servants! What a blunder!” She facepalmed herself upon realizing this.
“I wanted to see what a Divine-grade and Ancient-grade servant looked like, too! Damn it!”
Sometime later, once she calmed down, White Lotus got off the bed and walked to her computer.
After logging into the computer, she opened up a private chat room and typed into the chat box—
[White Lotus: I just met with Player Yuan in Cultivation Online. We chatted about our experience with the game over some food and tea. He’s truly a unique person with many stories to tell.]
Within seconds of White Lotus’ comment, dozens of people started typing in the chat.
[Blue Monster: No way! Really?! Where did you meet him?!]
[Green Hat: Tell us what happened!]
[Fiery Queen: How did you contact him?! I also want to speak with him!]
However, White Lotus didn’t respond to any of them.
After reading some of the responses, she’d closed the chat room and walked away from her computer with a smug smile on her face.
