Chapter 1586 Eternal Lotuses" Relocation
Once Meixiu answered the door, Yu Rou greeted her with a bright smile, "Meixiu, it"s been a while since we"ve really spoken with each other! Let"s sleep together tonight."
Although she was a little surprised, Meixiu agreed with a slight head nod, "Sure. Come inside."
"Goodnight, brother." Yu Rou said as she strolled into the room.
"Goodnight." Meixiu also said.
"Goodnight, you two."
Once the door closed, Yuan returned to his room to sleep, as cultivating was pointless nowadays.
Due to the Celestial Emperor"s curse and his high cultivation base, his cultivation would go nowhere, even if he cultivated for years straight. Of course, he could always consume monster cores, but he had no reason to increase his cultivation on Earth any further. After all, he already had more than enough power to conquer the entire world if he so desired.
Meanwhile, inside Meixiu"s room, Yu Rou muttered as she sat on the bed, "Wow, this is a really comfortable bed."
"Anyway, how have you been doing, Meixiu? Is my brother treating you right?"
Meixiu nodded with a smile, "I"ve been doing great, and Yuan"s treating me fine, too." "Really? If that"s the case, why are you still sleeping alone while Chu Liuxiang is sleeping in the same room as him?" Yu Rou looked at her with doubtful eyes.
"I"m satisfied sleeping in my own room, and he does come sleep with me once in a while."
Although she didn"t mention it, she"d actually heard Yu Rou"s conversation with Yuan outside her room earlier.
"That"s not good enough! We"ve been together since childhood, so you"re like a second sibling to me—an elder sister! I will not allow you to lose to someone else!"
"Lose…? But I am not losing… at least, that"s not how I see it." Meixiu showed a stiff smile.
After all, she was the first one to be accepted by Yuan. Yu Rou sighed and said, "Although I wasn"t too surprised when I learned that you and my brother paired up since I knew it"d eventually happen, do you have any idea how shocked I was when I found out that he got a second lover?"
"Is it really that surprising?"
"Of course! I didn"t know he was capable of doing that! Anyway, you should start sleeping in the same room as my brother. I know you want to." Yu Rou winked at her.
"..."
After a moment of silence, Meixiu spoke in a low voice, "What about you?"
"Huh? What about me?" Yu Rou raised her eyebrows.
"Don"t you also love him?"
Yu Rou was momentarily stunned by such a question, but she quickly snapped out of it and chuckled, "Of course I do. He"s my one and only brother, after all."
Meixiu gently shook her head.
"You know that"s not what I mean…"
Yu Rou"s body trembled slightly, clearly not expecting Meixiu to question her in such a manner.
"I know, but you should also know that we"re siblings."
"But you"re not blood-related. That changes everything."
Yu Rou shook her head and sighed, "While that"s true, it"s our perspective that truly matters. I love him very much, and I"d do anything for him, but I don"t know if I am ready—or will ever be ready—to treat him as anything other than my brother."
"Is that so…"
Seeing the dejected look on Yu Rou"s face, Meixiu decided to stop talking about this subject.
After a moment of silence, Meixiu sat on the bed and said, "Tell me about what it"s like at the Eternal Lotuses."
"Sure."
After closing the light, the two of them lay underneath the blankets, and Yu Rou started recalling her experience at the Eternal Lotuses.
Once Yu Rou was finished, Meixiu spoke about her adventures with Yuan and her progress in Cultivation Online.
They ended up talking all night, only falling asleep once the sun began rising.
Over the next few days, in order to know those around Yuan better, Yu Rou would spend most of her time chatting with the members of the Demon Sealing Faction.
On the third day of Yu Rou"s stay at the Dragon Spiral Mountain, Bai Lianhua and the rest of the Eternal Lotuses were finally ready to move their headquarters.
Early in the morning the following day, Bai Lianhua and the entire Eternal Lotuses showed up at the bottom of the Dragon Spiral Mountain with several trucks full of items, from furniture to decorations.
Yuan went to greet them alone.
"So, how does this work?" Bai Lianhua asked.
"The manager is making her way here now. You can ask her in a bit."
Liya showed up several minutes later and said, "There are several unoccupied properties. Since your circ.u.mstances are unique and we haven"t prepared a place for you, you can go ahead and pick the one you like best."
"Once you have picked your property, you can start moving your stuff."
Liya looked at Yuan before handing him a notebook and said, "Since you recommended them, they"re your responsibility. Everything you need to know is inside that notebook."
Without further explanation, Liya turned around and disappeared.
"Are we really welcome here?" Bai Lianhua swallowed nervously after seeing Liya"s cold behavior. Yuan chuckled and said, "Don"t worry about her. She"s naturally grumpy like that. You"ll get used to it very quickly."
"I can hear you!" Liya"s angry voice resounded in an echo.
Sometime later, Yuan brought Bai Lianhua and several high-ranking members inside the Dragon Spiral Mountain to look at the available s.p.a.ces listed in the notebook Liya gave him.
Most of the property in the lower and middle areas of the mountain was already occupied, but there were still plenty of options available. In the lower area, two large mansions remained, while the middle area had three. As for the upper area, five homes were still unoccupied.
"The disparity in spiritual energy between the lower and middle areas is immense. I cannot fathom what it"d be like in the upper areas," Bai Lianhua remarked as they entered the middle area.
"I never even thought such quality of spiritual energy was possible on Earth…" Another commented.
"This place is a cultivator"s heaven…"
