Cultivation Online

After Chu Liuxiang left, Meixiu turned to look at Yuan's building with a worried look on her face.

"Yuan… Are you there?"

"Yes."

"Are you okay?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Yuan responded, "I lost control for a bit, but Lulu helped me, so I am fine now."

'Lost control? That explains the bruises on her neck… They probably fought.' Meixiu sighed inwardly, misunderstanding the situation entirely.

"Yuan, if you feel like losing control again, let me know and I will immediately get help." Meixiu said to him.

As much as she wanted to help him, she knew that she was no match for Yuan if they fought, so she could only rely on others for now.

'I am still too weak compared to them…' Meixiu bit her lips in frustration before sitting down and cultivating.

Eight hours passed in a flash while Meixiu focused on cultivation, and before she was aware, Chu Liuxiang was already back for her shift.

"I can continue. You should rest a little more." Meixiu said to her.

"Thank you for worrying about me, but I am really fine. Look, the bruises are already gone." Chu Liuxiang showed Meixiu her neck, and sure enough, all of her bruises were gone.

Meixiu silently stared at her for a moment before speaking, "If anything happens, you need to get help."

"I will." Chu Liuxiang nodded with a smile on her face.

Once Meixiu left, Chu Liuxiang sat before the building and said, "I am back, Yuan. If you need me, I will be out here."

There was no response from Yuan, but Chu Liuxiang didn't panic.

'He's probably focused on his recovery,' she thought to herself.

An hour into her shift, Chu Liuxiang noticed a figure in the distance, and they appeared to be watching her from the shadows.
