BXBX NOVEL Chapter 258 Becoming an Inner Court Disciple
The Flying Dagger barely missed the Jade Frog. However, before the Jade Frog could even land, the Flying Dagger suddenly did a sharp turn and flew at it again like there was a string attached to the Jade Frog.
A gaping hole appeared before the Jade Frog’s forehead a split second later, instantly killing it.
Thud!
The ground shook when the large and heavy Jade Frog’s lifeless body fell down from the sky, shocking the spectators.
Once the place was still, Yuan turned around and walked back to be with the rest of the disciples without even turning around or checking whether the Jade Frog was truly dead or not.
"I have defeated the Jade Frog. Am I an Inner Court disciple now?" Yuan asked Elder Tantai who stood there with a gawking look on her face.
After a long moment of silence, Elder Tantai nodded her head in a stiff movement before speaking, "Y-Yes... Congratulations on becoming an Inner Court disciple, Disciple Yuan... here’s your badge. Take this to the distribution center to get your Inner Court disciple badge and robes..."
Yuan accepted the badge with humbleness before walking out of the examination hall in a casual manner, almost like he was taking a stroll in a park.
The other disciples there watched as Yuan’s back disappeared from their sights.
"Just where on earth did this Disciple Yuan come from and how come I have never heard of him until recently? There’s no way such a genius would be a nobody!" Elder Tantai mumbled to herself in a dazed voice.
Sometime later, once the Jade Frog’s corpse was taken away, Elder Tantai resumed the examination.
Meanwhile, Yuan went to the distribution hall and handed the elder at the front desk the badge he’d just obtained from Elder Tantai.
"So you just passed the Inner Court Disciple Examination, huh? Congratulations." The sect elder there treated him with respect, taking Yuan by surprise.
After all, he’s been treated like an insect most of the time by the sect elders in this sect— at least that’s what it feels like, and it was a refreshing feeling to be respected by a sect elder.
"Can I have your old identification badge?" The sect elder then asked him.
Yuan nodded and handed him the bronze identification badge.
"I’ll be right back." The sect elder went to the back of the room for a few minutes before returning.
"Here you go. I have updated your identification badge. As for your living quarters, you can choose to stay in your current place or be assigned a new living quarter in the Inner Court."
Yuan immediately responded without any hesitation, "I will remain in my current residence."
The sect elder was slightly surprised by Yuan’s decision. After all, the living quarters within the Inner Court are more spacious and luxurious overall, and you only have one roommate compared to the 5 roommates in the Outer Court. Any logical being would choose to live in the Inner Court.
’Perhaps he doesn’t want to leave his friends?’ The sect elder could only think of one reason for Yuan’s decision.
"If that’s your decision, then I won’t say anything. However, if you wish to move to the Inner Court for whatever reason, you can come back here and we’ll arrange something for you," said the sect elder a moment later.
And he continued, "Now about your new uniforms... Which color do you want? Blue or green?"
"Does it matter which one I choose?" Yuan asked.
"No, it doesn’t matter. It’s just a preference thing."
"Then I’ll choose blue."
"Very well. I’ll be right back again."
The sect elder went to the back for a second time before returning a few minutes later with three sets of blue uniforms.
"Here you go. If the sizes don’t fit, you may return to exchange them."
"Thank you, Senior." Yuan accepted the uniforms.
"One more thing before you leave. There’ll be a lecture tomorrow that’ll introduce you to life as an Inner Court disciple. If you can, please attend it. It’ll be at the Education Peak in building #111."
"I understand. I’ll try to attend it." Yuan nodded.
Sometime later, Yuan left the distribution hall and returned to his own living quarters.
"Hm?"
Min Li, who was just about to leave her house, noticed Yuan’s approaching figure and the blue robes he was carrying.
"D-Disciple Yuan! Those uniforms— You’re an Inner Court disciple now?!" Min Li exclaimed in a shocked voice.
Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, I just took the examination today and became an Inner Court disciple."
Min Li’s jaw dropped to the ground.
"W-Why didn’t you tell me?! I would’ve done the examination with you!" Min Li asked him.
"That... never crossed my mind... I didn’t know you wanted to take the examination as well," Yuan said in an apologetic voice.
"I-I am not blaming you or anything..." Min Li quickly said.
"Anyways, now that you’re an Inner Court disciple, will you be moving out?" Min Li then asked him.
"No, I will be staying here," Yuan responded.
"Really?" A pleasantly surprised expression on Min Li’s face.
"Why?" she couldn’t help but ask him, hoping that he would say something romantic like ’because of you’ or something along that line.
But alas, Yuan said, "There’s really no reason for me to move out of such a nice house."
"Eh? But you will have to walk to the Inner Court every time you need something from there, which will take up a lot of time."
"It’s okay. I like to be active, anyways."
"I-Is that so..." Min Li mumbled.
Normally, Cultivators want to spend as much time as they could on cultivation whilst saving time for everything else so they can have more time for cultivation. However, for geniuses like Yuan, minor things like that don’t really matter, as it won’t affect their extreme cultivation speed much if any at all.
Sometime later, Min Li left the place to go to the practice area.
’The next Inner Court Disciple Examination is in three months... haaa...’ Min Li sighed inwardly as she left the place.
Meanwhile, Yuan went back to his own room.
"Congratulations on becoming an Inner Court disciple, Brother Yuan." Xiao Hua said to him.
"Thank you, Xiao Hua," Yuan said to her.
A few moments later, Yuan sat down and began training his Divine Sense.
Once the sky began turning dark, Yuan logged off the game and waited for Meixiu to return home.
"I’m back, Yuan," Meixiu said to him after closing the door.
"Welcome back, Meixiu."
"I’ll prepare dinner right now."
After putting down her stuff from school and changing her clothes, Meixiu went to cook dinner.
Once that was done, Meixiu went to feed Yuan.
"Yuan, you need to be careful when you’re playing the game," Meixiu suddenly warned him.
"Huh? Why would you say that?" Yuan asked.
"The Young Lady told me to warn you because there will be a lot of players trying to get into the Dragon Essence Temple to meet you."
"Really? I should start wearing my mask even in the sect then..." Yuan mumbled.
"The Young Lady also told me to warn you to stay away from people who try to ask you personal questions even if they might be an NPC because players can disguise themselves as NPCs and you won’t know it."
"I understand. I’ll be careful," Yuan said.
"By the way, how is Yu Rou doing at school? I hope she’s doing fine after what happened recently."
"The Young Lady is doing much better. Furthermore, she can always meet you in Cultivation Online— at least that’s what she keeps telling herself."
"I see... I plan on leaving the Dragon Essence Temple to spend more time with Yu Rou in a week or so anyway. I cannot leave until I participate in the Mystic Realm, since I promised the Sect Master and others that I’d help them."
"The Mystic Realm?" Meixiu raised her eyebrows.
Sometime later, after she finished feeding Yuan dinner, Meixiu said, "I’ll let you rest for a bit before I wash your body, Yuan."
"Okay."
Meixiu went to clean the dishes afterward.
Half an hour later, Meixiu returned to the room with his wheelchair.
After picking Yuan up from the bed and placing him in the chair, Meixiu pushed him to the bathroom, where she helped him undress.
And since she didn’t want to get her clothes wet while washing Yuan, Meixiu decided to also take her clothes off and went into the bathroom with him naked.
Once they were inside the bathroom, Meixiu squeezed some body wash onto her palms before she rubbed it all over Yuan’s body.
Once Yuan’s body was covered in body wash, Meixiu used a soft scrubber and began scrubbing his body.
’This is my first time washing him...’ Meixiu thought to herself as she cleaned whatever she could.
A few moments later, Meixiu reached his lower area, and her eyes subconsciously moved to look at the cute thing between Yuan’s legs.
Almost like she was mesmerized or something, Meixiu couldn’t find the strength to look away, and she proceeded to stare at it with a dazed look on her face.
Meixiu finally snapped out of her daze a few moments later, and she proceeded to wash Yuan’s legs, ignoring the thing in the middle for now.
’What is this feeling?’ Meixiu swallowed nervously when she noticed her heart beating faster than usual, feeling as though the temperature in the room had suddenly increased.
