After training, everyone gathered in the dining room, where breakfast was already prepared by Meifeng.

"Wow… Did you really cook all of this by yourself?" Wang Ming asked with a dazed look on his face as he stared at the table that was filled with many different dishes for breakfast.

"This seems like something that requires a full team of chefs to achieve…" Wu Zao mumbled.

"You're more amazing than I thought, Madam Meifeng." Wang Bingbing praised.

"If I cannot do this much, then I am not fit to be with the Young Master." Meifeng spoke calmly.

They started eating the food shortly after.

"God! This is so freaking good! This is even better than what that old man at the Silver Restaurant back home makes!" Xi Murong exclaimed as he stuffed the food inside his mouth.

The Demon Sealing Faction emptied all of the dishes on the table in less than half an hour.

After breakfast, Meifeng took all of the empty plates and went to clean them.

"Meixiu, is Xiuying almost here yet?" Yuan asked her.

"Yes, she texted me an hour ago that she was on her way here—"

Meixiu's phone suddenly started ringing.

After seeing the caller, Meixiu said, "Speaking of the devil."

"This is Meixiu," she answered the phone.

"I understand. We're coming out now."

Meixiu hung up a second later and said to Yuan, "She's outside right now."

"Great."

Yuan stood up and said, "Everyone, our new member is here. Let's all go greet her."

"Oh? To have two new residents back to back, it seems like the Demon Sealing Faction is finally growing!" Wang Ming said.

Sometime later, they went outside to greet the newest member of the Demon Sealing Faction, Wang Xiuying.

"Hello, Xiuying. Welcome to our humble home." Yuan greeted her with a friendly smile.

"You call this place humble?" Wang Xiuying stared at the mansion behind him with a dumbfounded look on her face.

After snapping out of her daze, she introduced herself to everyone there, "Good morning, I am Wang Xiuying. I used to work in my grandfather's hospital, but I am now here. If you need any medical attention, just let me know! I am also an Alchemist in Cultivation Online, so I can also concoct pills for you guys!"

The members of the Demon Sealing Faction introduced themselves after her introduction.

"Nice to meet you all!"

"Let me show you around. You can leave your luggage inside for now." Yuan said to her afterward.

"Okay!"

Once Wang Xiuying left with Yuan, the others started talking about their new member.

"Wow, she's really pretty. As expected of Yuan." Wang Ming said.

"She seems very energetic, too." Wang Bingbing added.

"Do you know anything about her, Meixiu?" They asked her next.

"Yes, her grandfather took care of Yuan when he was bedriddened. After we left the Yu Family, she took her grandfather's place and took care of Yuan for a while. She's a good friend."

"What about their relationship? Is she also his partner?" Hong Xiuquan asked out of curiosity.

"They don't have that kind of relationship. However, Wang Xiuying admires Yuan a lot, and she even claims to be his number one fan." Meixiu shook her head.

"Well, now that she's living with him, it probably won't be long before things happen." Shi Lang shrugged.

Meanwhile—

"Wow, this place is so much nicer inside. Not even five star hotels can compare to this." Wang Xiuying mumbled as they walked around.

"Yes, it's a nice place. We're lucky to live here." Yuan smiled.

After walking for some time, Wang Xiuying suddenly said, "By the way, I saw your interview."

"What did you think of it?" He asked.

"I don't know how to say it… I felt angry at the Yu Family for what they've done to you, but I am also relieved that you finally exposed them. How are they doing right now?"

"I don't know, they ran away and hid somewhere." He shrugged.

"I'm not surprised. They suddenly became the most hated family in the entire world, after all."

"Also, did you regain your vision? Your eyes regained their color, and it feels like you can see me with your eyes, not your divine sense."

"Yes, I regained my vision."

Wang Xiuying sighed after hearing his words, and then she said, "Oh, don't misunderstand. I am happy for you, but I have always dreamed about curing your illness."

"Thank you, Xiuying. Your thoughts are enough. However, I don't think you can call it an illness. I think it's more of a curse than anything."

"Curse?" Wang Xiuying raised her eyebrows.

"I know it sounds crazy, but I have something to tell you later. It's very important."

"Sure."

Once their tour was finished and Wang Xiuying picked her room that was on the same floor as Yuan's room, they sat down to drink some tea made by Meifeng.

"Eh? Miss Meifeng? What are you doing here?" Wang Xiuying was surprised to see her there.

"I am now working for the Young Master," she gave a quick and brief explanation.

"I see…"

As they enjoyed the tea, Yuan explained the situation with Cultivation Online to her.

"What?! Our soul?!" Wang Xiuying was shocked after learning the truth.

"Yes, so you shouldn't go too crazy in Cultivation Online, and try your best to not get hurt. Any damage done to your soul is incredibly severe.

"I-I understand… I will be less reckless with Alchemy now that I know there are real risks to getting hurt…" She swallowed nervously.

Sometime later, Wang Xiuying went to her own room to organize her luggage.

Meanwhile, Meixiu approached Meifeng.

"Mother, I need to speak with you privately whenever you're available."

"Meet me in my room in an hour," Meifeng said.

"Okay."

An hour later, Meixiu knocked on the door to Meifeng's room.

"Come inside."

After entering the room and closing the door behind her, Meixiu looked at her mother with a calm but serious expression, "There's something I need to tell you, and it's about my relationship with Yuan."
