Chapter 57 Teleportation Device
"Yes, I plan on leaving this place after breakfast," said Yuan after Luo Li asked about his departure.
"Is that so... I understand." Luo Li nodded before continuing, "Let’s continue this conversation with everyone else."
"Okay."
Sometime later, Yuan and the Luo Family began eating breakfast.
"Where do you plan on going after this, Brother Yuan? Or are you still planning on going to the Purple Bamboo Forest for training?" Luo Ling asked him during breakfast. While they normally speak after breakfast, she didn’t want to waste any more time after learning that he would be leaving soon.
"No, my plans have changed. I will be going to Spring City after this to meet up with someone. As for training at Purple Bamboo Forest... that will have to wait until a later date."
"Spring City? That’s quite far away from here even if you are flying there on a sword." Lord Luo said to him.
"Really? How far is it?" Yuan asked him with a slightly anxious frown, worried that he might not be able to meet Yu Rou on time.
"Spring City is approximately 30 thousand miles from our Pang City. It will take you over 100 hours to fly there even if you flew without rest for the entire journey."
"No way..." Yuan’s face immediately dropped after learning just how far away Spring City was from his current location. At this rate, Yu Rou’s entire vacation will end by the time he even gets there, and he will have to wait another week before they can play together.
Seeing the desperation on Yuan’s face, Luo Ming spoke out loud, "If you are in that much of a hurry to get to Spring City, why don’t you use the Teleportation Device in Liang City? It’s only 3,000 miles from here. Though, you will have to pay a tremendous amount of gold to use it."
"Really? I can reach Spring City in a short amount of time if I use this Teleportation Device?!" Yuan’s dispirited expression immediately brightened.
"Yes, you should be able to reach Spring City before the day ends. However, it won’t be cheap. After all, Teleportation Devices require a massive amount of spiritual energy to operate, and the further you need to go, the more expensive it’ll cost you. 30,000 miles isn’t bad at all, so the gold we gave you should be more than enough for you to use it." Luo Ming said to him.
"Thank you! I will use this Teleportation Device even if it’ll cost me an arm and leg!" Yuan said to him.
"Why are you in such a hurry, Brother Yuan? Is this person you are meeting that important?" Luo Ling suddenly asked him.
"Yes, she’s the most important person in my life!" He responded without hesitation.
"The most important person in your life...?" Luo Li repeated in a low voice, feeling somewhat envious of this person.
Even Xiao Hua couldn’t help but look at him with her interest piqued.
"It’s not an exaggeration to say if not for her, I would not be alive right now." Yuan nodded with a heartfelt expression on his face.
"Is she your lover, Brother Yuan?" Luo Ming couldn’t help but ask him.
"Hahaha... of course, not." Yuan laughed at his words before saying, "She’s my sister."
’Oh, it’s just his sister...’ The Luo Family sighed in relief after hearing his words.
"Brother Yuan’s sister... what kind of person is she?" Xiao Hua suddenly asked him while staring at him intensively.
"She’s a very kind individual who puts others’ well-being above her own. Even though she’s already busy enough with her own life, she never fails to take care of me every single day, even when she’s exhausted herself, and I cannot thank her enough for her sacrifices."
"It sounds like you have a wonderful sister, Brother Yuan. I fully understand why you must leave now." Luo Li said to him with a smile.
Once the small conversation was over, they continued to eat.
Sometime later, once breakfast was finished, Lord Luo whispered to one of the servants.
The servant returned a few minutes later with a scroll in her hands and handed it to Yuan.
"That map will show you how to get to Liang City from here. Since you will be flying, it will be much easier for you, but you must pass a mountain range before you can see Liang City."
"Thank you," Yuan accepted the map.
"Allow me to walk you outside, Brother Yuan." Luo Ling stood up and said to him.
"I will come too." Luo Li also said.
A few moments later, Luo Ling suddenly embraced one of his arms close to her chest whilst Luo Li went for the other before leading him outside, making Yuan appear to be some kind of playboy with a beauty in each of his arms.
Once they were outside, Yuan was dumbfounded by the massive crowd that filled the streets.
"W-Why is there so many people here?" he was dumbfounded.
"After what happened with the Mountain Lord, our Pang City has been flooded with visitors. Many of them appeared to have come here looking for Brother Yuan, and even though we have already told them that you had long left this city, the numbers continued to grow." Luo Ling said to him.
"I see... then I can only fly out of here..." Yuan sighed.
"Goodbye, Luo Li, Luo Ling. I won’t forget my experience here." He then said to them with a bright smile on his face.
"Can I hug you before you leave?" Luo Li suddenly asked him.
Yuan nodded and opened his arms without thinking too much about it.
Luo Li immediately leaped into his arms and embraced him tightly. "Come back here when you have the time, okay? I will always be waiting for you." Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
"I will."
After hugging him for a few moments, Luo Li released her arms and took a step back before suddenly propelling herself towards Yuan, kissing him on the cheeks.
"..."
Yuan was speechless, but he didn’t mind it.
"I will see you later, Brother Yuan..." Luo Li said to him with a red face before running back into the house.
"It’s my turn to say goodbye." Luo Ling also went to embrace him.
"I am going to miss you," she mumbled to him.
A few moments later, Luo Ling released him and kissed him on the other side of his cheeks, and unlike Luo Li, she did not immediately run away afterward.
"The next time you visit us, we can do something even more intimate," she winked at him in a seductive manner.
Although Yuan couldn’t understand the meaning behind her words, he nodded his head regardless.
"I will see you later," he said to her.
Once Luo Ling also entered the house, Xiao Hua said to him, "Brother Yuan sure is popular with the ladies."
"Hehe..." he showed a bashful smile before speaking, "Anyway, let’s head to Liang City for the Teleportation Device."
Yuan then retrieved his Spirit Sword to let Xiao Hua control it. A few moments later, the two of them soared towards the clear sky and left the city, shocking the people that saw them from below.
