Cultivation Online

"Mmm…" Chu Liuxiang woke up from her long slumber when it was almost evening.

After stretching her body on the bed, she sat up and looked around the dark room with a dazed face.

She quickly noticed Yuan, who was still cultivating in the balcony.

After staring at Yuan's figure for a couple of moments, she got off the bed and went inside the bathroom to wash her face.

As she walked out of the bathroom, she noticed her cell phone ringing.

"Father? I wonder what he wants…"

Chu Liuxiang answered the call after realizing who the caller was.

"Hello? Father? Did something happen?"

"My dear daughter… When do you plan on letting us know that you have returned to the mountain?" Chu Shijian's sighing voice resounded through the phone.

"Oh, I completely forgot. Sorry, father. I planned on calling you once I settled in this place, but I had spent the past week inside Cultivation Online." Chu Liuxiang said.

"Cultivation Online? You never showed interest in that game before. In fact, you even refused to play it after trying it out for a few days." Her father said in a surprised voice.

"Well, I didn't have Yuan by my side before, and I had no reason to play. Things are different now that we're playing together. The game seems so much more intriguing when I follow him compared to playing with the family."

"Yuan… I heard about his most recent achievement. He'd opened a floodgate to the next realm for all players."

"And I was there to witness everything from the beginning to end! If you were there to witness his trials and what he had to endure, you would admire him even more!" Chu Liuxiang said in a somewhat proud voice.
