536 Xu Lixing’s Junior Brother (1)
In the virtual world, Swordsman World.
This was one of the most popular virtual worlds. Countless cosmic citizens poured in, and there was only one type of weapon for cultivation—swords! Countless players pursued the pinnacle of swordsmanship.
On the peak of one of the Green Leaf Sword Sect peaks that occupied an area of more than 300 kilometers—
Xu Lixing, with a sword at her waist, turned into an afterimage as she darted across the mountaintop. Finally, in a remote corner, she saw a licentious youth leaning against a rock with an empty wine flask beside him.
“Junior Brother.” Xu Lixing looked on with exasperation before calling out.
“Ah.” The licentious youth opened his eyes in a daze and gazed at her with a smile. “Ah, it’s you, Senior Sister. The weather is just perfect; let me take a few more winks.”
With that said, he closed his eyes and started sleeping again.
“Get up!” She yanked the licentious youth’s ears and spun him around.
“Ouch!!!” The licentious youth jolted awake as he looked at her fawningly. “Senior Sister, I’m up! I’m totally up! Let go of me—let go!”
“Look at you. You’re one of the Ten Swordsmen of our Green Leaf Sword Sect’s younger generation, yet you spend half your day either drinking or sleeping.” Xu Lixing shook her head. “Whatever I’ve said has fallen on deaf ears.”
“Life is a long affair; it’s exhausting working hard all the time. One needs to learn to enjoy themselves.” The licentious youth lay down and crossed his legs again, but when he noticed the look in Xu Lixing’s eyes, he immediately changed his tone. “I’ve also been working hard on my swordsmanship. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have become one of the Green Leaf Sword Sect’s Ten Swordsmen. I think it’s not bad working hard 50% of the time.”
“How can you reach the pinnacle if you don’t truly love swordsmanship?”
The licentious youth smiled at her and didn’t defend himself any further. He glanced at the sky and said leisurely, “There are countless masters in the universe. It’s too difficult to reach the pinnacle. I think it’s nice to just enjoy life while doing some sword practice and earning some money.”
“The elders I know are mostly focused on the evolutionary path. I wonder if my elders will be satisfied with your laziness,” Xu Lixing said helplessly.
Consider her father, Xu Jingming, who didn’t have much free time every day. Consider her grandmaster, Liu Hai, who was also passionate about martial arts and had reached the limit of Lv. 7.
Then, look at her junior brother… He was too lazy!
“Senior Sister, your elders?” The licentious youth sat up and stared at her. “Senior Sister, what do you mean?”
“It’s been so many years. It’s time for me to understand your situation in reality,” Xu Lixing commented. “If we’re not suitable for one another, we can end it here. Dragging this out… won’t be good for either of us. If we’re suitable, I don’t mind taking it one step further.”
The licentious youth became a little nervous.
He lived freely in the Swordsman World, and he had also gained a relationship he cherished.
“My situation in reality.” The licentious youth hesitated.
Xu Lixing kept her ears perked. “It’s fine if you don’t want to tell me, but then there will be no need for us to drag this out.”
“Senior Sister…” The licentious youth thought for a moment before saying, “My name in reality is Meng Tian Qingyuan.”
“Meng Tian Qingyuan, your alias in-game is ‘Dreamsky Travel,’ but your name is normal in reality.” Xu Lixing smiled. “Tell me, how old are you?”
“I’m 35 this year,” the youth said.
“You’re really a kid.” Xu Lixing smiled. “Which Star Alliance, which galaxy, and which planet?”
The licentious youth looked at her hesitantly. “Senior Sister, my situation is rather complicated. I’ll tell you in detail after I make the preparations in reality, alright?”
“You want to consult your parents?” Xu Lixing smiled. “Sure.”
“Yeah.” The licentious youth nodded slightly with a complicated expression before disappearing into thin air and going offline.
He went offline so quickly? Xu Lixing was stunned.
…
Oohook Star Alliance, Cloud Glow Galaxy, Planet Iwaizumi.
Iwaizumi was a beautiful habitable planet with countless humans living on it.
Whoosh.
Meng Tian Qingyuan walked out of his virtual chamber and quickly arrived at the top floor of the villa. Looking out into the world, the sky was gloomy, and the wind was howling, causing the trees in the distance to sway.
“Iwaizumi,” Meng Tian whispered.
Senior Sister wants to proceed further with me, but she has asked about my situation in reality. What should I say? Can I tell her? Meng Tian’s eyes were filled with pain. Am I to tell her that my father relied on biological wombs to give birth on a large scale and produced more than a billion children like an assembly line? And that I’m only one of them?
Yes, the billion-plus people on Iwaizumi were all the children of one person.
Although technology made it possible, cosmic citizens who liked such levels of extreme reproduction were extremely niche.
A child produced from an assembly line, and with all kinds of contracts signed. Meng Tian looked around. I can’t even leave Iwaizumi.
His father, Hai Yong Qingyuan, had restrained him in every aspect. He had signed many contracts in the name of grooming, work, and so on. Meng Tian was already treated well among the countless children on Iwaizumi.
Most of them were still planetary lifeforms, and they led humble, abject lives.
Iwaizumi was his father’s private planet, and he could do whatever he wanted. Everything here was decided by his father. If he went against his father’s will here, he would end up living an extremely miserable life. It was impossible for him to have gone from a planetary lifeform to a cosmic lifeform.
In order to become a cosmic lifeform, I signed many contracts. I won’t be free for a thousand years. It’s even possible to predict that Father will use all kinds of means to force me to renew my contract in the future. My entire life is controlled by him. Meng Tian was very depressed.
