Online Cultivation
episode 44

“Don't think about it too much, you'll just make yourself dizzy,” Xiao Hua suddenly said to Luo Li, almost like she can read his mind. “Brother Yuan is a miracle that appears once every few generations. You will not understand his talents with ordinary logic.”

“WhatIsIt?” Luo Li decided to accept Xiao Hua's advice and stopped thinking about it.

Moments later, Yuan said, "By the way, I'd like to take a look at this city if you don't mind."

"Of course not! Let me talk to my father first, then I'll guide you around the city! ” Luo Li quickly said.

Yuan nodded, and Luo Li left the room shortly afterwards.

As soon as Luo Li left, Yuan looked around the room curiously, as this was the first time she had been inside such a unique room, she said, and that was when he saw a tall mirror sitting in the corner of the room.

"Oh? A mirror?" Yuan immediately stood up and walked into the mirror with a heart full of anticipation and nervousness. What is he like in this world? Was he really as handsome as Luo Li described him to be?

"Here I am?"

Yuan stood in front of a mirror that was slightly higher than his head with a puzzled face.

He had short but fine black hair on his head that was oval-shaped, clear brown eyes that shone like crystal, long eyelashes that would make even women jealous, sharp but neat eyebrows, and even more so, and a little nose. Overall, his face was very symmetrical and looked pleasant.

The last time he saw his own face was when he was 7 years” before he lost his ability to see and went blind.

“If I recall correctly, Yu Rou once mentioned that the appearance of someone in the game would be very similar to their appearance in the real world, he said, hence why I entered this game with an avatar already made for me. However, I don't know what I look like in the real world, and it's been more than 10 years since I last saw my own face, so I can't be sure if this face is really similar to my actual appearance or not”

Moreover, since he did not know the standard of one's appearance, he could not be sure whether he was really handsome or not.

Therefore, he decided to ask for the opinion of others.

"Xiao Hua, I have a question for you." Yuan suddenly said to him.

"What's up, Brother Yuan?"

He then pointed at his own face and asked with a serious expression, “Without bias, what do you think of my appearance? Are you going to say that I'm handsome? Or am I ugly?”

“”

Xiao Hua looked at him with wide eyes, seemingly speechless because of his sudden question.

A moment later, he spoke in a timid voice and with slightly rosy cheeks, "Xiao Hua thinks Brother Yuan is very handsome …"

"Thul? Are you sure that you're not just praising me because you don't want to hurt my feelings? It's okay to tell the truth, Xiao Hua.” Yuan said to him, as he felt his judgment might be somewhat inaccurate because of their relationship.

“X-Xiao Hua is telling the truth! Brother Yuan is so handsome!” Xiao Hua said again, but his face flushed red this time.

"Okay, I'll trust your judgment." Yuan nodded.

“”

Xiao Hua was silent. Why would he even want this kind of feedback? Did he not look in the mirror? Anyone with a working brain would agree that Yuan is handsome. Or does he just want to tease her?

However, Yuan quickly shook his head and said, "No, I was just wondering because I never really cared about my own appearance."

“Don't worry, Brother Yuan. In the world of cultivation, one's appearance was not that important. As long as you are talented and strong, unless you have the ugliest face in the world, you will be able to attract the attention of the girls! And since Brother Yuan is talented and handsome, you will undoubtedly have a beautiful woman fighting for you in all directions in the future! Thinking that Yuan was worried about his appearance, Xiao Hua decided to comfort him.

“Hahaha My appearance is the least of my worries, Xiao Hua” Yuan laughed in a bitter voice.

A few minutes later, Luo Li returned to the room. However, she looked slightly different from before she left, almost as if she came back even more beautiful.

It was clear that apart from talking to her father, Luo Li had spent some time refining her own appearance with thin makeup.

Of course, as someone who did not pay much attention to appearances, Yuan was completely unaware of this fact.

“Daois Yuan, I have told my father about your desire to look around the city. We can go whenever you want, ” he said to her.

"Okay, then let's go now," Yuan said.

Some time later, they left Lord’s Manor.

"Where do you want to visit first, Daoist Yuan?" he asked her as soon as they were outside.

Yuan shrugged and said, "I don't know what's in this city, so I'll let you pick a place to visit."

However, since this was the first time he had given someone a tour, Luo Li was also unsure of where to go. Therefore, he decided to just take a walk around the city until they found something that would interest Yuan.

“Fruit kiosk there is managed by Madam Ying, and always have fresh fruits in the city.”

"That's Mr. Wang's Treasure, the only gun shop in our town."

"This is the residential area, where most of the citizens live."

"The building there is the Li Clinic …"

Luo Li gave a brief explanation for most of the shops and buildings they passed by, and Yuan would listen to him with a bright face, as if he was in an amusement park.

However, she would show the most interest when Luo Li talked about food-related buildings, and after noticing this, Luo Li asked her, "Do you want to taste some of the best cuisine of Pang City?"

"Thank you?" Yuan immediately became excited. But when he remembered that his wallet was almost empty, he asked him, “I only have ten gold coins. Is that enough?”

Finding the question quite silly, Luo Li could not help but laugh a little, "With 10 gold coins, you can eat everything on every menu in this city and still have a lot of money left."

"What's? The food here is that cheap? My last meal was very expensive in comparison! ” Yuan was surprised to learn that the food in this place was so cheap, especially when he spent 500 gold coins on the food earlier.

"Brother Yuan, it's because you filled your face with expensive spiritual meat .. Normal food would only cost a few silver coins at most." Xiao Hua said to him.

"Is that so? Then what are we waiting for? Let's eat until our stomachs are round!” Yuan quickly said.
