This was one of the most popular virtual worlds. Countless cosmic citizens poured in, and there was only one type of weapon for cultivationâswords! 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 kilometersâ
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.
âJunior Brother.â Xu Lixing looked on with exasperation before calling out.
âAh.â The licentious youth opened his eyes in a daze and gazed at her with a smile. âAh, itâs you, Senior Sister. The weather is just perfect; let me take a few more winks.â
With that said, he closed his eyes and started sleeping again.
âGet up!â She yanked the licentious youthâs ears and spun him around.
âOuch!!!â The licentious youth jolted awake as he looked at her fawningly. âSenior Sister, Iâm up! Iâm totally up! Let go of meâlet go!â
âLook at you. Youâre one of the Ten Swordsmen of our Green Leaf Sword Sectâs younger generation, yet you spend half your day either drinking or sleeping.â Xu Lixing shook her head. âWhatever Iâve said has fallen on deaf ears.â
âLife is a long affair; itâs exhausting working hard all the time. One needs to learn to enjoy themselves.â The licentious youth lay down and crossed his legs again, but when he noticed the look in Xu Lixingâs eyes, he immediately changed his tone. âIâve also been working hard on my swordsmanship. Otherwise, I wouldnât have become one of the Green Leaf Sword Sectâs Ten Swordsmen. I think itâs not bad working hard 50% of the time.â
âHow can you reach the pinnacle if you donât truly love swordsmanship?â
The licentious youth smiled at her and didnât defend himself any further. He glanced at the sky and said leisurely, âThere are countless masters in the universe. Itâs too difficult to reach the pinnacle. I think itâs nice to just enjoy life while doing some sword practice and earning some money.â
âThe elders I know are mostly focused on the evolutionary path. I wonder if my elders will be satisfied with your laziness,â Xu Lixing said helplessly.
Consider her father, Xu Jingming, who didnât 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!
âSenior Sister, your elders?â The licentious youth sat up and stared at her. âSenior Sister, what do you mean?â
âItâs been so many years. Itâs time for me to understand your situation in reality,â Xu Lixing commented. âIf weâre not suitable for one another, we can end it here. Dragging this out⊠wonât be good for either of us. If weâre suitable, I donât mind taking it one step further.â
The licentious youth became a little nervous.
He lived freely in the Swordsman World, and he had also gained a relationship he cherished.
âMy situation in reality.â The licentious youth hesitated.
Xu Lixing kept her ears perked. âItâs fine if you donât want to tell me, but then there will be no need for us to drag this out.â
âSenior SisterâŠâ The licentious youth thought for a moment before saying, âMy name in reality is Meng Tian Qingyuan.â
âMeng Tian Qingyuan, your alias in-game is âDreamsky Travel,â but your name is normal in reality.â Xu Lixing smiled. âTell me, how old are you?â
âIâm 35 this year,â the youth said.
âYouâre really a kid.â Xu Lixing smiled. âWhich Star Alliance, which galaxy, and which planet?â
The licentious youth looked at her hesitantly. âSenior Sister, my situation is rather complicated. Iâll tell you in detail after I make the preparations in reality, alright?â
âYou want to consult your parents?â Xu Lixing smiled. âSure.â
âYeah.â 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.
âŠ
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.
âIwaizumi,â 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 Tianâs 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 Iâm 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 canât 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 fatherâs private planet, and he could do whatever he wanted. Everything here was decided by his father. If he went against his fatherâs 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 wonât be free for a thousand years. Itâs 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.
