Chapter 876: Because of You

“When are you guys planning on leaving? We have a month before we must report to our new sects.” Wang Bingbing asked them.

“We’ll most likely leave before then.” Yuan said.

After talking for some time, Meixiu and the others logged off Cultivation Online for dinner.

“Yuan, can I borrow you for a bit? It won’t be long.” Min Li suddenly approached him.

“Sure.”

“Follow me.”

Min Li then brought Yuan to the balcony.

“What’s up?” Yuan decided to start the conversation when Min Li remained silent for many moments.

“I just wanted to thank you before going to the sect. I have decided to leave for the sect tonight.” Min Li said with a slight smile on her face.

“Already? You have 30 days, right?” Yuan raised his eyebrows.

“Yes, but I do not want to continue bothering you.” Min Li’s smile became bittersweet.

“Because of you, I acquired the courage to deny the Min Family.”

“Because of you, I have managed to break free from the Min Family.”

“Because of you, I have achieved my lifelong dream of leaving the Lower Heavens.”

“Because of you, I can finally walk my cultivation path the way I want.”

“I really cannot thank you enough— it’s a debt that I will never be able to repay.”

Yuan smiled and said, “You don’t need to repay me. You’re my friend, and it’s only natural for friends to help each other out. I know I told you this before, too.”

“You’re right… Sorry I even brought it up.”

Min Li turned to look at the bright moon, and after a moment of silence, she spoke, “Do you think we’ll see each other again? I know you’ll only continue to ascend the Nine Heavens while I am stuck here.”

“We’ll see each other again. I will make sure to visit you when I get the chance in the future.” Yuan smiled.

However, Min Li shook her head and said, “No, I will be the one to visit you. I will train hard and catch up to you no matter how long it will take me, and I will continue to ascend the Nine Heavens until we meet again.”

“If you don’t mind, I have two more selfish requests for you. Please wait for me.”

“Sure.” Yuan nodded without hesitation.

After a moment of silence, Yuan spoke, “You said you have two requests for me, right? That was just one.”

Min Li immediately blushed, “A-Actually, forget about my second request… I will tell you about it during our next meeting. Instead, can you close your eyes for a moment?”

Yuan silently nodded and closed his eyes.

The moment Yuan closed his eyes, Min Li tipped her toes and leaned forward, kissing Yuan on his soft lips.

“Please keep them closed for a little longer. I don’t want you to see my face right now.” Min Li quickly said after removing her lips.

After a moment of awkward silence, Min Li said, “I may not be worthy to be with you now, but I will train hard to become someone worthy. Until next time, Yuan.”

Yuan suddenly felt a gentle gust of wind caress his face. He opened his eyes to see that Min Li had disappeared from the balcony.

He turned to look in a certain direction and touched his lips.

‘Why do they always ask me to close my eyes?’ He wondered inwardly.

Ding!

A distinct noise suddenly snapped Yuan out of his daze.

<‘Min Li’ has been added to your Bond!>

<Min Li’s Bond level has increased to Intimate!>

<Congratulations! Your Bond level with Min Li has reached Intimate!>

<You have gained the following effect from Min Li’s Bond level: ‘Min Li’s Adoration’>

[Min Li’s Adoration: Increases your Charm by 40 and Overall Damage by 30%]

Yuan logged off Cultivation Online shortly after and gathered in the dining room to eat dinner with the others.

“You guys can do whatever you want for the next few days. I still have some business to do before we can head to the Stairway to Heaven.” Yuan said to Meixiu and the others.

“Okay.”

The following day.

“Feng Feng, let’s return to the House of Riches. They’re probably waiting for us.” Yuan said to her.

“Oh, I nearly forgot that we’d asked for their help regarding the Pill of Truth. Let’s go.”

On their way to the House of Riches, Xiao Hua asked, “Why are you looking for the Pill of Truth?”

“It’s a long story.” Feng Yuxiang said.

“Then shorten it…” Xiao Hua frowned.

Feng Yuxiang chuckled and proceeded to briefly explain the situation to Xiao Hua, “Basically, we need the Pill of Truth to see if the Young Master’s memories are real.”

“Memories? Is there something wrong with your memories, Brother Yuan?” Xiao Hua turned to look at him with a puzzled face.

“No, it’s nothing of that sort. I haven’t told you this yet because you were away with Min Li, but I actually have memories of my past life as the Divine Paragon.”

“W-What…?” Xiao Hua’s eyes immediately widened.

“I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s the truth. I even recall my birthplace and my family during that life. In fact, I— the Divine Paragon was born in the third heaven— our next destination.”

“Reincarnation…” Xiao Hua mumbled in a low voice, her thoughts unknown.

Seeing Xiao Hua in deep thoughts, Yuan stopped talking so that she could think.

Meanwhile, inside the Universal Music Academy, a man dressed in completely black stood before Sun Hao inside his quarters.

“Is this information real?” Sun Hao turned to look at the man with a wide smile on his face.

“Yes, I have confirmed it myself. The Gu Family is currently searching for a young man named ‘Yuan’. They seem to have some grievances with him.” The man said.

“Hahaha! This is perfect! Let the Gu Family know that I have information on this ‘Yuan’ and that I want to meet with them! Immediately!”

“Right away!” The man immediately left the room.

‘What a coincidence that the Gu Family is looking for that bastard! This must be Heaven’s calling! They must want that bastard dead as much as I do! Hahaha!’ Sun Hao laughed inwardly.
