Cultivation Online

"You sound surprised." The young woman said after hearing his dazed mumble.

And she continued, "Don't you also play the zither? Did nothing happen to you? As far as I am aware, everyone that plays the zither has encountered misfortune that ruined their lives one way or another."

After a long moment, Yuan said, "I… I learned to play the zither inside Cultivation Online, where such a curse doesn't exist. In fact, this is my first time playing with the zither in this world."

The young woman covered her mouth in a shocked manner.

"W-Why didn't you say so before I handed you the zither! And why did you accept it?! Now you'll also be met with misfortune!" The young woman said to him in a worried voice, as she felt responsible for handing him the zither.

Yuan chuckled and said, "You don't have to worry about me. I don't think playing a single song will affect me."

Furthermore, he is already afflicted with many powerful curses, so having another one won't really matter to him.

"If you don't mind me asking, why are you still playing the zither despite the curse that took away your vision?" Yuan asked her afterward.

"It's simple. I love the zither too much to let it go. It can take away my vision, but as long as I get to continue playing the zither, I don't mind some sacrifices," she responded in a calm voice.

Yuan was left speechless by her words.

He has never seen anyone so dedicated and passionate about an instrument before.

If he was in her shoes, he would gladly give up playing instruments for his vision back.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "Then can you tell me a little more about the curse? You said that you lost your vision shortly after playing the zither. How did it happen?"
