Chapter 515
"Defeating monsters is amazing—I leveled up to level 10 in one go. I feel like no one in the entire world can match me now. "
The sword techniques of this other world are indeed not refined.
But the increase in attributes brought terrifying boosts to speed and defense; after leveling up ten times, Zhu Meichuo felt her strength and speed had multiplied manyfold.
This is something people in this world might never achieve even after decades of cultivation.
"The multiverse is truly miraculous!"
"I wonder if this level-up card will still work after it returns?"
Zhu Meichuo took out her adventure card and saw its glow dimmed—"Indeed, I was too greedy. The power from that world can no longer cross worlds."
Summon the eunuch.
"Go tell Father I've returned."
"Yes, Princess."
Moments passed.
Zhu Youjian arrived, his face radiant with excitement: "Ajiu, how was the other world?"
"The other world is miraculous," Zhu Meichuo marveled. "I just registered as an adventurer and leveled up ten levels in one day—I'm probably the strongest in the martial world now."
"In just one day?" Zhu Youjian stared in shock.
Zhu Meichuo nodded: "It's not just that—I fought a lot of cabbage too—those flying cabbages. Tomorrow, Father and Mother will have a feast."
With a casual wave, fresh cabbages appeared on the ground one by one.
Zhu Youjian gasped: "This…"
He stared at the ring on Zhu Meichuo's finger.
"Is this the storage ring from Shangcheng?"
Zhu Meichuo nodded: "Mm. A sister gave it to me."
"Gave it to you?"
Even the most basic space ring isn't cheap.
Zhu Youjian felt speechless.
Why does my daughter get such precious gifts just by showing up, while I'm completely ignored?
"That sister also gave me elixirs and two scrolls of cultivation techniques, Father. We no longer need to worry about the rebels or the barbarians beyond the pass," Zhu Meichuo said, pulling out a jade slip and a porcelain bottle.
Zhu Youjian was stunned, his voice trembling: "She gave you these too?"
"Mm," Zhu Meichuo nodded. "Others said that sister is someone close to the Dao Jun."
"Someone close to the Dao Jun?" Zhu Youjian gasped. "How did you get along with her?"
"That sister was very kind—we played together until dusk before parting," Zhu Meichuo said, lost in memory. "She even invited me to visit Dalaotian someday!"
"That's good! That's good!" Zhu Youjian beamed. "If she's close to the Dao Jun, it's no surprise. To ordinary people, these things are precious—but to the Dao Jun, they're as easy to make as breathing."
"Hahaha… What good is it if Old Ancestor is so powerful?" Zhu Youjian laughed heartily. "He doesn't have a daughter like mine!"
"Father!" Zhu Meichuo scolded. "He's still our Old Ancestor—we shouldn't speak like that."
"You're right," Zhu Youjian nodded. "Ajiu, you start cultivating first. I'll borrow funds later. When we go to Dalaotian in a few days, you can't go with your current strength—or they'll think I stole the benefits she gave you!"
"Father, there's enough elixir for us both to cultivate together," Zhu Meichuo opened the porcelain bottle and split the elixirs in half. "These are enough for you to reach the True Qi realm."
"Good!" Zhu Youjian paused, then burst into laughter. "Then let's cultivate together—and live forever!"
Saying this, he took the elixirs and read the jade slip.
"Keep this jade slip safe—don't lose it," Zhu Youjian warned. "And the cabbages too. Flying cabbages might be a rare treasure—only take them out when you're ready to eat them; leave them outside and they'll spoil."
"Mm," Zhu Meichuo nodded. "Actually, I also fought some frogs this afternoon and gathered some frog legs—I'll have the imperial chefs prepare them for Father."
"Those frogs taller than a man?" Zhu Youjian, having seen the anime, blinked. "How strong are those frogs?"
"Average. I handled them easily—as long as I'm not surrounded by several at once, there's no danger."
"Mm. Then I'll have to try them someday!"
"I'll go cultivate first. You should start too."
With that, Zhu Youjian left, eager and impatient.
Watching her father depart, Zhu Meichuo steadied herself, walked to the bed, took out the jade slip, read its contents, and began to cultivate.
"Dragon God Art, Transmutation Technique—I hope our world works the same way as Sister Hui said, and can feed benefits back to the Dao Jun. Otherwise, I owe her too much."
