ch 184 – An Unpexcted Loot; Grade A Male God (1)
“Young Mistress.”
“Greetings, Mistress.”
Seeing Cheng Xiao Xiao’s arrival, the men greeted her with cupped hands. The way they looked at her had already changed.
Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded slightly and walked toward them. After looking closely at each and every single of one them, she said slowly, “Now that you have entered my dimension, you have became a Cheng’s. You have never cultivated before. Get some rest first and follow little Yuteng’s instructions!”
“Yes, Mistress!” replied the men.
“Your past belonged in the past, we’d bury them all and start anew. From now on, you are no longer who you were before and you shall change your surname to Cheng. Keep you first names. For example, Bighead Chi will become Cheng Chi, so on and so forth!”
“Yes, Mistress!” They obeyed matter-of-factly.
“Okay, follow Lu Zhu into the house and figure out your rooming arrangement. I take it you guys are hungry, I will have Lu Zhu make you some food!” Cheng Xiao Xiao waved at them before she told Lu Zhu, who was standing nearby, “Arrange for them to stay in the first floor then make them some food. Don’t need to cook for me, I am not hungry yet.”
“Yes, Mistress!”
Lu Zhu bowed to her before turning to the men and said, “Please follow us!”
They followed Lu Zhu into the elegant but somewhat odd-looking courtyard.
After they have entered the house, Cheng Xiao Xiao asked Little Yuteng, “Well? Did what we have just collected level up the dimension?”
“Of course not! Not even close!” Little Yuteng didn’t even take a second look at the items they have just collected. “Young Mistress, it is getting harder and harder to level up the dimension. When the dimension was below level 20, levelling up is quite easy. Now that we are almost at level 40, and want to get to level 50, this last 12 levels will be difficult. It might be helpful if we have a lot of mystical stones!”
“Even level 50 is so hard to get to, what happens after level 50? That’d be impossible!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao was a little speechless. Where was she going to go to find this mass amount of mystical stones? Unless there’s a mystical mountain that she could mine mystical stones from; otherwise it was quite a headache to fill this bottomless hole.
“Young Mistress, for sure it is difficult, but that’s the nature of the dimension lah. Surely it’s a bit of a hassle, but once the dimension levelled up, what Young Mistress will gain in return will be very rewarding and very helpful, won’t you say?”
“Yeah, that’s what I will have to keep telling myself!”
The dimension did not level up so there were no pleasant surprises, and Cheng Xiao Xiao seemed disinterested. Leaning against the crystal fruit tree, she looked up and noticed that the flower buds from a few days ago had grown much bigger.
“Yuteng, how long will it take the buds to blossom?”
“Hard to say, Young Mistress. Could be several months, or several years. I think that depends on the levelling on the dimension as well. The faster the dimension level up, the faster they will blossom.”
“Ugh, okay.”
Cheng Xiao Xiao pursed her lips a bit and changed the subject, “Oh yeah, I had forgotten to ask them where we were!”
“Young Mistress, are we returning to Willow yet?” asked little Yuteng from the tree branch.
“Return? Haven’t we only been gone for 3 days or so? Why go back so soon?”
“If Young Mistress doesn’t want to return yet, we can wander around for a few more days and also take this opportunity to look for some stuff to level up the dimension!” said little Yuteng as she chewed on the leaves of the tree. After all, she wanted the dimension to level up soon as well, so she wasn’t supportive of Cheng Xiao Xiao returning at this moment.
