Chapter 252 - A Bored Face
Yuan followed Xiao Hua"s instruction and kept his Divine Sense active and as far out as he could manage until he could no longer keep it up due to exhaustion.
"Haa… haaa… It"s really tiring trying to maintain Divine Sense; it"s much more exhausting than using cultivation techniques." Yuan said afterward while panting.
"That"s obvious, Brother Yuan, since using Divine Sense requires more than just your spiritual energy, as it uses your mental strength as well. With that being said, Brother Yuan is only a Spirit Warrior whilst people normally unlock their Divine Sense as a Spirit Master. Compared to the others, Brother Yuan is already miles ahead."
Yuan nodded his head and rested until he recovered his mental and spiritual energy before he began training his Divine Sense again, and he repeated this process for nearly the entire day.
Just as Yuan prepared to log-off, Feng Yuxiang returned to the house.
"I"m back, Young Master!" Feng Yuxiang said, sounding like a family member after a long day at work.
"Welcome back, Feng Feng. Thank you for taking my sister to that location," Yuan said to her.
"Don"t even mention it, Young Master. It"s my pleasure to help you. After all, as long as this contract stands, my everything belongs to you." Feng Yuxiang said with a smile on her face.
And she continued, "What about your other friend who"s in the Western Continent?"
"Oh, right. Her name is Meixiu, and she"s currently at Tang City in the Western Continent."
"Tang City, right? Got it. What does she look like, Young Master? It"ll make things much more convenient since I have never seen her before." Feng Yuxiang then asked.
"Uhh… How does she look…?" Yuan was speechless, as he hasn"t seen Meixiu"s appearance since he lost his eyesight over a decade ago!
Feng Yuxiang raised her eyebrows, and she spoke a moment later in a puzzled voice, "You don"t know what your friend looks like, Young Master?"
"W-Well… It"s been a very long time since I last saw her, after all." Yuan quickly thought of an excuse.
"Oh, I see. Then what do you remember about her?" Feng Yuxiang then asked.
"Hmm…"
Yuan closed his eyes to think, recalling Meixiu"s features when she was young.
"She has this naturally bored-looking face, or more precisely, she always looks bored, almost like nothing in this world could entertain her. I think you"ll immediately notice her since she really stands out." Yuan said as he recalled Meixiu"s face.
"I-I see…" Feng Yuxiang nodded with a somewhat dazed expression on her face, as she didn"t expect such an awkward description.
"Ah, she will be at the city entrance waiting for you." Yuan suddenly said.
"The entrance, right? I understand. I"ll see you in a few days, Young Master. Stay safe." Feng Yuxiang said to him before turning around and leaving the house again.
Whoos.h.!.+
Two large and majestic flaming wings appeared behind Feng Yuxiang"s back, and with a single flap of her wings, Feng Yuxiang soared many miles into the distance.
"See you tomorrow, Xiao Hua."
"See you later, Brother Yuan."
After logging off the game, Yuan immediately tried to use his Divine Sense, but alas, there were no results.
"I shouldn"t expect immediate results. This could take days, even months before anything happens… However, no matter how long it takes, as long as there"s a chance that I can see again…" Yuan motivated himself.
Sometime later, Meixiu returned home and began preparing dinner.
During dinner, Yuan said to her, "Meixiu, my friend Feng Feng is heading to the Western Continent right now, and she"ll probably be there in a few days. If you have time, log into the game and see if she arrived yet."
"What does this friend of yours look like?" Meixiu asked.
"She"s a really pretty lady with long black hair and brown eyes. She also wears red clothes that seem a little too small for her since it sticks to her skin." Yuan said as he recalled Feng Yuxiang"s image in his head.
"Sticks to her skin…?" Meixiu raised her eyebrows, thinking that this person must be wearing a tight dress or something to show off her body but Yuan is too oblivious to realize it.
"I understand. I will check the game whenever I"m available." Meixiu then said.
After dinner, Meixiu went to do her own things whilst Yuan tried activating his Divine Sense again.
An hour later, Yuan gave up and went to cultivate instead.
The following morning, after Meixiu finished feeding Yuan breakfast, he went into the game while Meixiu went to school.
"Let"s train my Divine Sense today as well!" Yuan sat down and quickly activated his Divine Sense with more determination than ever.
However, a few hours into his training, someone knocked on his door, forcing him to stop for the time being.
"Who could it be?" Yuan wondered to himself as he went to open the door.
Standing outside his doorsteps was a beautiful young lady with a familiar-looking face.
"h.e.l.lo, Min Li. It"s been a while." Yuan said to her.
"h.e.l.lo, Disciple Yuan. I hope I"m not bothering you." Min Li greeted him back.
"No, you"re fine. Do you need something?" Yuan then asked.
Min Li shook her head and said, "Nothing, really. I heard about what happened recently and how you defeated the 3rd strongest Outer Court disciple, taking his place in the Power Ranking. Congratulations."
"Although it wasn"t my intention to fight him, thank you," Yuan said with a somewhat stiff smile.
"Disciple Yuan, you may be a Spirit Warrior and with extreme talents that this world has never seen before, but I won"t give up on trying to catch up to you!"
Min Li said, and she suddenly released her aura, surprising Yuan.
"You managed to breakthrough to Spirit Warrior? Congratulations!" Yuan congratulated her in a sincere voice.
"T-Thank you…" Min Li felt embarra.s.sed by his words for some reason and began blus.h.i.+ng in response.
"A-Anyway, I"m going to return to my training now. I"ll talk to you later, Disciple Yuan."
"Okay. See you." Yuan nodded.
Min Li then turned around and walked away.
