“Brother, I think I know what we should do next,” she said to him as she fed him.
“What do you want to do?”
“You have always wanted to experience school, right? Well, there are these places known as ‘Sects’ within Cultivation Online, and they are basically schools for Cultivators. I know they’re not the same, but it’s the only way for you to experience school right now.”
“Sects? What a coincidence! I was also about to ask if you wanted to join one with me!” Yuan said in a surprised voice.
“Really? Then should we join one?” she asked.
“Of course!”
“Great! Then we should participate in the event in Spring City today!” Yu Rou said to him.
“Event? What event?”
“There’s an event in Spring City where the lord of the city, the Xuan Family, will be recruiting disciples for the Dragon Essence Temple! If we pass this exam, we should be able to join this sect!”
“The Xuan Family and the Dragon Essence Temple?” If Yuan could see right now, he would be staring at Yu Rou with wide eyes filled with surprise.
What a coincidence! Not only did he plan on joining the Dragon Essence Temple in the future but he also knew the Xuan Family!
“Okay, that sounds good,” Yuan said.
“Then it’s decided!”
“Ah, one more thing, brother. Your room is still being cleaned by the maids, so you’ll play beside me today,” she said to him.
“Oh… I forgot… Your gaming helmet was also submerged in that black gunk and was tossed in the trash last night, so we’ll have to get you a new one.”
“What?! They threw away my gaming helmet?! What about my account? Don’t tell me I’ll have to create a new account! You must retrieve that helmet no matter how bad it smells!” Yuan cried out loud, his voice filled with panic. He cannot imagine what he’ll do if he really has to create a new account because of this! What will happen to Xiao Hua, who is still inside the necklace? Would she remain there forever? That’s terrifying to even think about!
“There’s no need to panic, brother. Did you forget? You can only have one account and one character, and it doesn’t matter how many times you change the gaming helmet, you’ll still be able to play your character.”
“Oh… right… I indeed forgot about that.” Yuan said in a low voice before sighing in relief.
“Anyway, I’ll go tell someone to buy one right now.”
Yu Rou left the room to tell a maid to buy another console for Yuan.
About an hour later, the maid returned to Yu Rou with a brand new gaming helmet.
Once everything was prepared, Yu Rou and Yuan both laid on the same bed with the gaming helmet on their heads.
“I’ll see you inside, brother.” Yu Rou said to Yuan before pressing the power button on his helmet, sending him into the game first before going inside herself.
“Welcome back, Brother Yu— Tian…” Xiao Hua left the necklace a second after he logged on.
“Xiao Hua… Thank god you won’t be trapped inside that necklace forever…” he sighed again after seeing her cute face.
“???” However, Xiao Hua merely looked at him with a puzzled look on her face. Why would she be trapped inside the necklace forever?
