The poor girl was speechless for a time because she knew it deep inside that that was her plan all along.
She never expected to see Master Clark once again but it seemed like fate had another plan for the two of them.
Alas, this did not matter in the grand scheme of things since she has already achieved her revenge in the first place. Now it was time to face the consequences of what she had done.
Young Master Yao Ru belonged to a strong cultivator clan and the best thing she could do at the moment was to go home and warn her family of the Yao Clan's possible retaliation.
But Shi Ling needed to get rid of our bored gamer first. She could not imagine carrying along such a dangerous unknown like our very own protagonist in her path back home.
"So what do you want in return, Master Clark?" Shi Ling asked in exasperation.
"I don't know yet but... I shall tell you once i decided on how you could repay the favor that you owe me, Shi Ling."
Our good gamer replied easily and looked at the beautiful morning sun on the horizon.
"So shall we go?" He asked after a minute pause.
"Okay." Shi Ling took a deep breath before she answered in helplessness.
"Good." Clark commented and then the two of them resumed their halted journey. They spent more than a week until a huge city came into view in the distance.
The place was surrounded by tall walls that had sorcerous runes and markings on the surface. Even from afar, a dark intimidating force shrouded the entire city in defense.
This was by design which would discourage any monsters and magical beast to come in the domains of the city.
It was certainly a useful and clever trick to support an area that housed at least a hundred million people inside the metropolis.
"Welcome to the city of Aurora, Master Clark." Shi Ling announced which ended their arduous journey on the road.

In another city near the influence of the Wandering Wind Sect, a family boiled in anger. They had just lost one of their own and was adamant to seek for justice.
"Send a party to investigate the death of my son. We shall repay this murder with the blood of an entire clan!" A furious voice echoed in the main halls of a luxurious mansion.
"Yes, master!" One shadowed form obeyed and was gone in an instant.

Aurora City, inside the ancestral home of the Shi Clan, our bored gamer was happily enjoying his first bath in a week.
He was received well as an important guest of the Shi Family and was now using these good comforts with ease.
Alas, the same could not be said to Shi Ling who was currently eating a handful of hard lectures from her father.
"WHAT?! SAY THAT AGAIN, DAUGHTER!" A towering middle aged man roared in disbelief.
He wanted very much to erase what he had just heard but doing that would not avail him the relief against what Shi Ling had uttered a few breaths prior.�
"I am no longer a disciple of the Wandering Wind Sect, father. I have killed Yao Ru of Crester City." Shi Ling said which affirmed her words quite well.
"You... what?!" Shi Ling's father stood up and there was pure shock on his face right now. He tried to form some words but failed to make a sound for a time.
But when he did, a new string of loud shouts could be heard in that private room. This would go on for a long long time before it would end in a depressed silence.
While this was happening, our bored gamer would of course not waste his time in being idle inside the Shi Residence.
He got out after he took some well deserved bath and visited the busiest parts of Aurora City.
"Hmmm... Verbally flirting with passersby would only net me 50 erotic points with each try.
It would have been good if the points got bigger if I did it unto beautiful cultivators but sadly the returns I get stays the same."
"If i use this kind of lame tactic in order to farm points, it would take me an eternity to get rich."
"I need to find me some get rich quick scheme fast!" Clark mused as he rubbed his clean shaven face in the process. He stayed that way until he finally thought of a good thing to try.
'Who is the strongest cultivator in this city, Nancy? And what is his realm?' Our bored gamer asked his loyal system.
"The most powerful individual here is called Zhang Yun, host. He is the city Lord of Aurora and is already in the 7th Stage of the Core Creation Realm."
Nancy replied after a brief scan of the entire city.
"Thank you, Nancy." Clark whispered and sported a very happy face at this time. He could kill the city lord with just a single slash of the sword.
With this truth in mind, our bored gamer could basically go rampant in this city of Aurora.
"This will be fun. A perfect place for me to grind millions of erotic points. Hehehe." Clark said and began to do just that.
"Hi there, woman! You look so fine and sweet. I'm new in this place. Would you like to go accompany me for a city tour?"
Clark called for the nearest lovely thing he could set his eyes upon. He especially targeted one that had strong looking guards and many servants alongside her trip.
One of the tough men was about to confront our bored gamer but his wishes were prematurely interrupted by the woman's raised hand.
"You honor me with your words, Master. But I unfortunately have to decline. Maybe some other time perhaps." The woman bowed slightly and went on to resume her trip.
'Why are people in this xianxia world so hard to annoy?'
'This is certainly unlike the web novels i read in the past!'
'SIGH!'
'I guess the real world is indeed pretty different from fantasy.' Clark sighed and looked around to find his next victim.
