After the carriage left the city, the driver spoke in a loud voice, "We should arrive at Orange Lands in three hours if we don't get attacked by wild magical beasts."
"Okay! Thank you!" Yu Rou responded in a loud voice.
Meanwhile, Yuan had his head turned to look outside the window. Riding in a carriage felt like they were riding a slow car that was also quite bumpy, yet there was a distinct difference that made riding a carriage much more enjoyable.
"Brother, I just noticed this, but when did your hair grow so long? I don't think my hair has grown since I started playing…" Yu Rou suddenly asked him.
Since she was used to Yuan having long hair in the real world, she didn't immediately notice it.
"Oh, I ate a treasure that regrew my hair and made it longer. Feng Feng and Xiao Hua said it looked good, so I decided to leave it like this," he said.
"I agree with them. You look very handsome! Don't you think so too, Jingyi?" Yu Rou asked her.
"Eh? Why are you asking me…?" She quickly began flustering.
Sometime later, Yu Rou asked, "Brother, what have you two been doing recently? Are you doing okay living by yourselves?"
Yuan nodded, "Yes, we're doing fine. As for what we've been doing recently… besides cultivation, nothing else really."
"I-If you have any problems with the apartment, please let me know… I will call someone to fix it." Xia Jingyi said to him.
"Oh, right. I know you said we can live there for free, but I don't want to feel like a freeloader. Please allow me to pay for the rent."
"Are you sure? The rent is not cheap there if I have to be honest with you…"
"Yes, I am sure. We have made enough money by selling in-game items. If we need more, we can sell more items." Yuan said.
After a moment of silence, Xia Jingyi nodded, "Okay, if you insist on paying the rent, I will tell the apartment manager to send you the bill every month starting the next month."
"Okay."
About an hour later, the carriage came to a sudden stop, and the driver shouted, "Esteemed guests! There's a pack of dark wolves blocking the road ahead!"
"Dark wolves, huh? Let me take care of it!" Yu Rou eagerly left the carriage and retrieved her fan— the same one that Yuan bought for her.
She then walked to the front of the carriage and approached the group of dark wolves with a brave expression on her face.
Yuan peeked his head out the window to look at the dark wolves.
They were all between the level of 3rd level and 5th level Spirit Apprentice. It was nothing Yu Rou couldn't handle as a Spirit Warrior even if they were in a group.
[Wind Blades!]
Yu Rou flicked her arms in an elegant manner, sending a dozen wind blades that sliced through the air.
Whoosh!
The pack of dark wolves was instantly dismembered by the powerful wind blades that were as sharp as real swords.
After killing the magical beasts in a single attack, Yu Rou used wind blades again to clean up the road.
"The road is free again." Yu Rou said to the dumbfounded carriage driver.
"T-T-Thank you for your efforts, esteemed fairy!" The driver stood up and bowed to her in a respectful manner after witnessing her effortlessly kill a dozen magical beasts.
Once she returned to the carriage, Yu Rou rubbed her nose in a prideful manner and said, "Did you see that, brother? I have gotten much better with the technique."
"Yes, I saw it very clearly. You have definitely gotten a lot stronger, especially with that technique." Yuan said with a smile on his face.
"Well… It's the only offensive technique I have so I use it all the time, allowing me to master it very quickly." Yu Rou said.
It was at this moment that Yuan recalled something— that he'd get some cultivation techniques for her.
"Ah! I completely forgot to get you new techniques! Even though we went to the Myriad of Techniques… What a blunder…" Yuan sighed.
"It's okay. We can look for them later. I'm not in a hurry to look for new techniques, anyway." Yu Rou said.
"Alright."
About half an hour later, another magical beast blocked the road.
Of course, Yu Rou went outside to take care of it again.
Ten minutes later, the carriage stopped again.
"Why are there so many magical beasts blocking the road? Is it always like this? It's like they're doing this on purpose just to mess with us!" Yu Rou was beginning to get tired of them after stopping for the tenth time.
"It's common because many people travel this road every day, and magical beasts come here to find food. This is why nobody dares to travel without any guards unless they're a powerful cultivator." Xiao Hua said to her.
"However, magical beasts aren't the only thing people have to worry about, as bandits and thieves would often target people, too."
"I hope we don't run into any bandits… I'm already overwhelmed by the magical beasts." Yu Rou sighed.
"I can take care of the magical beasts if you're tired," Yuan said to her.
"I'm not physically tired, but it does feel repetitive and boring."
"It's alright. I will take care of the magical beasts now."
"Okay." Yu Rou nodded.
Sometime later, the carriage stopped again.
"Magical beasts!" The driver warned.
Yuan activated his Divine Sense and expanded it until he could see the magical beasts.
Once he located them, he retrieved his invisible Starry Abyss and controlled it to clean out the magical beasts without stepping out of the carriage.
The carriage driver was shocked when he saw this, as he was unable to comprehend the scene before him. In his eyes, the magical beasts blocking the road were being slaughtered by an invisible force.
In just a moment, all of the magical beasts were killed, clearing the road once again.
"Brother? Why are you just sitting there? Aren't you going to take care of the magical beasts?" Yu Rou asked him.
"Huh? I have already taken care of them." Yuan said in a calm voice, dumbfounding Yu Rou and Xia Jingyi.
