Chapter 1001 - Not Ready
The following morning during breakfast, Li Jinxi asked, "Yuan, now that you're back, are we going to start ascending to the next realm?"
"Yes, but I want to wait a few more days just in case anything happens. Once I start ascending, I will be staying in Cultivation Online until I finish all of the trials, so I want to make sure that nothing will distract from it." He nodded.
"Makes sense."
"I don't think you need to worry. If anything happens, we'll be able to do sothing about it. We're here for you, after all. You can rely on us." Wang Ming suddenly said.
Yuan pondered for a mont before nodding his head, "You're right. I should rely on you guys more."
"All right, we're going to ascend tonight. Make sure you're prepared by then."
"Okay." The mbers ascending with him nodded.
"Young Master, may I have so of your ti? I have sothing to ask you." ifeng asked him after breakfast.
"Sure. Where do you want to talk?"
"We can do it in my room," she said.
Yuan nodded and followed ifeng to her room.
After preparing so tea and serving it to him, ifeng sat down before him.
"I'm ready when you are, Miss ifeng." Yuan said to her.
"Thank you, Young Master. But to be honest, this isn't that serious, and the topic might not be what you expect."
Yuan raised an eyebrow as he wondered what she wanted to tell him.
After taking a deep breath, ifeng spoke with a serious look on her face, "Young Master, what do you think about having a child with my daughter?"
Yuan was sipping his tea when ifeng started speaking.
After hearing her question, he nearly spat out the tea in his mouth.
"A-A child with ixiu? Where did this co from?" He asked her a mont later.
"As her mother, it's only natural for to think about these things now that she's found herself the perfect partner. And to be completely honest with you, Young Master, I also want to see so grandchildren."
"I-I don't know what to tell you, Miss ifeng… This is not sothing I can decide on. Furthermore, we don't have the ti to take care of a baby, not to ntion that things will only get busier as we get closer to unveiling the truth behind Cultivation Online and Earth."
"If you're worried about not having enough ti, you don't need to worry because I can take care of the baby and do my work at the sa ti. I've already done so with both ixiu and you, after all."
"Even if you say that... Have you spoken to ixiu about this?" Yuan asked.
"I have."
"What's her answer?"
"She said that she's not ready."
"If she's not ready then there's nothing I can do. I won't force her to have a child with if she isn't ready to have one." Yuan shook his head.
"I know, and I am not asking you to do so. However, if you ever feel like having a child with ixiu, you will most likely have to be the one to convince her. Knowing her, she's probably waiting for you to approach her."
"I see… Then to tell you the truth, I also think I am not ready to have any children. I am still young, and there are many problems in my life that I need to sort out first before I can even start thinking about bringing another life to this world."
ifeng closed her eyes and remained silent for a couple of monts before sighing, "Since the Young Master has spoken, I won't bother you with this matter anymore. Though, I would like to ask, how is your relationship with Chu Liuxiang? Judging by what I've seen from her, she seems like the type of girl to want a family as soon as possible."
Yuan smiled and said, "As expected of you, Miss ifeng. Your eyes are as sharp as ever. Indeed, Lulu's dream is to have her own family. However, she hasn't asked to do anything yet. She's also probably waiting for to approach her, but who knows. She's sotis very unpredictable."
"I understand. And I apologize for wasting your ti with my little nonsense… Ever since ixiu left with you, I have been thinking about having grandchildren, even though it's never happened before."
"Don't worry about it, Miss ifeng."
"Also, you should stop calling that. You're my Master now. You can just call ifeng."
"I can call you ifeng, but you'll also have to drop the formalities and call Yuan."
"That's not fair, Young Master…"
"Please. You're ixiu's mother. It would be weird for my future mother-in-law to address as Young Master."
"..."
ifeng released a defeated sigh.
"I understand. If that's what you want, I shall obey… Yuan."
"Thank you, ifeng." He smiled.
For the rest of the day, Yuan would work on his little treasure hunt. Once he made all preparations, he made his way to the Stairway to Heaven and waited for the others to show up.
When ixiu, Chu Liuxiang, and Li Jinxi entered Cultivation Online, they all approached the Stairway to Heaven.
"We're finally going to ascend. I've been waiting for this mont!" Chu Liuxiang said in an excited voice as they approached the man handing out the badges.
"I'd like four badges." Yuan said to the man, who imdiately raised his eyebrows.
"Four? Only one of you can challenge the Stairway to Heaven at a ti," he said.
"I know. I am going to be the only one challenging the Stairway to Heaven. They're just coming along with ." Yuan smiled.
"Seriously? Are you aware that—"
"Yes, I am aware that by doing so, it would make the trials much harder, and I am prepared for it."
The man looked at the three beauties standing behind him and sighed in a low voice, "Statistically speaking, n that focus too much on won will never go far in the cultivation world. However, this is your life, not mine."
Once the old man handed four badges to Yuan, they imdiately began climbing the staircase that led to the Stairway to Heaven.
