Cultivation Online Chapter 672: Giant’s Continent

Chapter 672: Giants Continent

Yuan proceeded to make his way into the restaurant after being accepted as a bodyguard for the Huang Family.

Please wait a second, Yuan.

A soothing voice suddenly called out to him just as he was able to enter the restaurant.

He halted his movements and turned around to see a pretty young lady walking out of the carriage.

Yuans eyes widened with surprise when he saw this young lady.

Lulu? What are you doing here? Yuan subconsciously blurted out loud, as this young lady greatly resembled Chu Liuxiang.

From her brown hair to hazel eyes, it was almost as though Chu Liuxiang herself was there.

However, after closer inspection, although very minor, there were some differences.

Lulu? The young lady raised her eyebrows.

S-Sorry, I mistook you for someone else. You look very similar to one of my friends, he corrected himself.

The young lady chuckled at his words and said, My name is Huang Xiao Li. If you dont mind, may I accompany you in the restaurant? Im feeling a little hungry, too.

Uhh...

Yuan looked at the middle-aged man standing beside Huang Xiao Li.

Entertaining my family is also part of your job as a bodyguard, he said.

Yuan nodded.

You can just call me Xiao Li, she said as she followed him into the restaurant.

Meanwhile, in the spectators area.

W-Why does she look exactly like me?! Chu Liuxiang exclaimed in a voice filled with disbelief when she saw Huang Xiao Lis face.

It felt like she was looking in the mirror when she looked at Huang Xiao Li.

Maybe the Stairway to Heaven is using our faces for whatever reason. Feng Yuxiang said.

And it decided to use my face? I hope she doesnt do anything weird... Chu Liuxiang sighed.

Once they were inside the restaurant, Yuan and Huang Xiao Li sat down at a small round table.

Go ahead and order whatever you like. I will pay for it. Huang Xiao Li said to him.

The server arrived at their table a few moments later to take their order.

I will have this... this... this... and this... oh, this as well...

Yuan stared at Huang Xiao Li with wide eyes as she ordered over a dozen dishes without hesitation.

Normally, he would be the one to surprise the others with his big appetite, but Huang Xiao Li had beat him to the punch this time.

Okay, your turn, Yuan. Huang Xiao Li said to him after she finished.

He nodded and began ordering a long list of dishes, dumbfounding Huang Xiao Li.

The server taking their orders cried inwardly, Are you two competing to see who can eat more or what?

Esteemed guests, lets move to a bigger table... This place wont be able to hold all of your food... The server said to them afterward.

They agreed and moved to a private room that had a much larger table.

Now then... While we wait for our food, why dont you tell me a little about yourself, Yuan? Why did you want to be a bodyguard for my family? You seem like a very talented young man. I cannot imagine someone like you willingly becoming a bodyguard for others. There must be some kind of catch.

Yuan smiled, Youre right. I am actually trying to travel to the Giants Continent, but I dont have any money. Fortunately for me, I get to travel there and obtain some money because of your Huang Family.

Huang Xiao Li narrowed her eyes at him for a moment before relaxing herself.

Well, I dont really care why youre helping us as long as you protect my family and I.

I will try my best to make sure that no harm will come to your family. Yuan nodded.

The food began arriving a few minutes later, and the two of them began cleaning their plates at a fast pace, almost like they were in a race to beat the other.

Youre pretty good. Huang Xiao Li said to him after they finished eating.

Do you always eat this much?

Only when I can... He said.

Why dont you tell me a little about yourself, Yuan. I like to know about those working for us. Do you belong to a cultivation sect?

I used to, but I am no longer affiliated with them. I am currently a rogue Cultivator, he said.

Hoh? Why did you leave? Disciples dont normally leave their sect. Perhaps you were forced out?

No, nothing of that sort. I left simply because I wanted to explore the world by myself.

I see... Thats a respectable decision.

What about you? Why are you your family heading to the Giants Continent?

Huang Xiao Li raised her eyebrows at his question before speaking, Theres only one reason why people go to the Giants Continent to trade treasures with the Giants living there, of course! Arent you also going there to trade treasures? Why else would you go there?

G-Giants...? You mean there are real giants living there? Yuan was speechless.

You didnt know that...? And youre trying to go there? Huang Xiao Li looked at him with a suspicious gaze.

Yuan quickly said, Actually, it was a friend who told me about the Giants Continent, but he never mentioned anything about giants. He also told me to go there if I want to acquire rare treasures, but thats all. I guess he wanted to keep it a surprise.

Is that so... Anyways, thats why were going there to exchange treasures. However, in order to do so, we must also have a lot of treasures, hence why were recruiting bodyguards, just in case someone decides to steal from us. Its also quite dangerous going there, so well need all the help we can get.

A few minutes later, Huang Xiao Lis father came to get them.

We just finished recruiting our bodyguards. Well be leaving now.

Okay. Huang Xiao Li nodded.

See you later, Yuan.

Once outside, Huang Xiao Li returned to the carriage while Yuan gathered with the other bodyguards.
