Online Cultivator
Hero of Pang City

"Dad! Are you okay ?!" Luo Ling went straight to her father's room where she was taken care of after returning home.

"Ling'er ... Why are you here ...? What happened to defending the city? What about the Mountain Master ...?" Master Luo asked them with anxious faces while lying on the bed with bloodstained bandages all over her body.

"Please calm down and listen to me, dad! Everything has been settled by Daoist Yuan! He not only defended the city gates from invasion but even defeated the Mountain Lord alone! The city is safe!" Luo Ling explained the situation to him with a bright face.

"W-What?! Is that true? Our Pang City is no longer in danger?!" Lord Luo's eyes flickered with emotion after hearing the news.

"Yes, dad. It's all true, so you can rest and focus on healing your wounds." Luo Ling said to him.

"A-I don't know what to say, Daoist Yuan .. I really don't know how to thank you for your contribution ... If not for my condition, I would even prostrate to you right now .." Lord Luo said to him with a grateful expression.

"Your feelings are more than enough," Yuan said with a smile.

"No, it can't! I should thank you properly!"

An idea suddenly popped into his head, and he quickly said, "I know! You can have my daughter! And if Luo Li alone is not good enough for you, I can also give you Luo Ling here! And if not! want to make them your wives, they can be your concubines!"

"Eh..."

Yuan looked at Lord Luo with a puzzled expression, but before he could even reply, Lord Luo looked at Luo Ling and asked her, "What do you think, Ling'er? Are you willing to serve Daoist Yuan even as a concubine? You probably won't find anyone like him anymore."

"Wait…"

And as Yuan opened his mouth, Luo Ling timidly nodded her head with a reddish face.

"I'm willing," he murmured in a low but clear voice.

The door opened a second later and the entire Luo Family entered the room.

"Dad! How's your wound?!" Luo Ming asked her without having a single clue as to what kind of situation she had just faced.

"Dad!" Luo Li also approached the bed with a worried expression on her face.

However, instead of telling them that he was fine to calm them down, Lord Luo instead looked at Luo Li and said to her, "Li'er! I've heard about the situation from Ling'er, and I'm thinking of giving your hand and Ling'er to Daoist Yuan for saving our city, and your elder sister has agreed to be her concubine."

"Eh?! What?!" Luo Li immediately looked at Luo Ling with a surprised face.

"Sorry, brother. I know you already have feelings for Daoist Yuan, but I am also in love with him ..."

"Female brother ..." Luo Li looked at him with a confused feeling in her heart.

However, in the middle of their conversation, Yuan loudly cleared his throat and said, "Excuse me. I'm flattered by your feelings, but I've already said that I'm too young to get married, let alone the two of you."

"It's okay, Daoist Yuan! If you want to marry them in a few years, they can wait for you! I can also assure you that they have never been in a relationship before, so they are still girls!" Lord Luo quickly said, clearly insisting on giving her daughter to him as a gift for having saved the city.

"I-It's not what I want to say—"

"Are we not good enough for you, Daoist Yuan...?" Luo Ling suddenly asked with a desperate expression.

"Eh? I never said it ..." Yuan quickly shook his head, feeling a little overwhelmed by this situation because he had never been in a situation like this before.

"If Daoist Yuan doesn't feel comfortable with us now, we are willing to wait until you are ready to accept us no matter how long." Luo Li said to him a moment later.

Yuan speechless. Why do they want to be with him so much? Or were they programmed to like whoever saved the city?

'What the fuck is a concubine?!' Yuan cried inwardly.

While Yuan pondered in silence, Xiao Hua spoke in a calm voice, "Brother Yuan is destined to become a great figure who will rule the cultivation world in the future, and there would be no shortage of women wanting to be with him. Xiao Hua won't talk about your qualifications, but it won't be long before Brother Yuan challenges Stairway to Heaven, and once that happens, it will be, who knows if you're still alive by the time he gets back here."

"What?! Daoist Yuan will challenge Stairway to Heaven?!"

Everyone in the room was shocked to hear Xiao Hua's words, but Yuan did not understand why. What is Stairway to Heaven?

"So we underestimate Daoist Yuan even now ... To think he would be brave enough to participate in the Stairway to Heaven ..." Luo Ming said with an awkward smile.

"If Daoist Yuan really plans to climb the Stairway to Heaven, we will only be a burden to you. Sorry, Daoist Yuan, but you can forget our conversation just now." Luo Ling let out a long sigh.

However, Luo Li's gaze remained firm, and she said, "Daois Yuan... If you still remember me when your adventure ends, please visit this place again. I'll wait for you until my last breath."

"..."

Seeing the sincere emotion in his gaze, Yuan inevitably nodded his head.

"Although I don't know what the future holds, I definitely won't forget about you or my experience in this place" Yuan said with an innocent smile. "The next time we meet, let's eat together again, okay?"

"Un! This is a promise, Daoist... No, Brother Yuan!" Luo Li nodded with slightly teary eyes.

"Don't forget me, too, okay?" Luo Ling also said to him.

<'Luo Li' has been added to your Bonds!>

<'Luo Ling' has been added to your Bonds!>

<'Pang City' has been added to your Association!>

After the barrage of notifications stopped for Yuan, he said to the Luo Family, "I'll stay in this city for another day just in case the monsters return."

"Please! You can stay here as long as you want! I don't even mind if you stay here forever!" Lord Luo laughed loudly despite the pain in his body.

"By the way, I'll reward you for helping us once the preparations are done." Lord Luo then said to him.

"You really don't need ..."

"No need to be humble. You are like family to us! And you can think of it as an early wedding gift or something! Ahaha!" Master Luo laughed again.

*catuk*

"Fuck up! It hurts!" Lord Luo cursed in a painful voice after laughing too loudly.

"Have a rest, Dad. We'll take care of everything for you." Luo Ling said to him.

"Thank you.." he muttered before falling asleep a moment later.

"You can rest in your room, Brother Yuan. If you need anything, let me know and I'll do my best to help you." Luo Li said to him with red cheeks before she quickly walked towards the door.

"See you later, Brother Yuan!" Luo Ming casually waved at her.

As soon as Luo Li and Luo Ming left the room, Luo Ling approached her ear and whispered to her, "If my sister isn't enough for you, you can call me afterwards."

He winked at her in a seductive manner before leaving the room, completely unaware that Yuan was too innocent to understand the meaning behind her words.
