Socially awkward female cultivator survives in the cultivation world through online games

Why would Qian Yao suddenly ask such a question?

"Why do you ask that?"

"Huh? I read in the storybooks that cultivators generally look down on mortals and wouldn't get along so well. Is there a problem?"

Qian Yao looked puzzled, seemingly very confused by this phenomenon.

Seeing Qian Yao's strong reaction, Qi Ying understood. Yes, this person must have never left the sect and doesn't know the situation outside. Anyone who could look at the basic manual for cultivators would know the reason. Could it be that this person didn't look at it?

"Oh, I see. Don't believe those stories anymore! They mostly describe the situation in other places, which is very different from what we have here. Our Kyushu region was almost annexed by other regions."

At critical moments, it was the concerted efforts of all cultivators and mortals within this realm to resist external enemies, resulting in the peaceful and prosperous scene we see today. Furthermore, the fact that mortals can give birth to offspring with spiritual roots is undoubtedly a tremendous contribution. After all, once a cultivator achieves success in their cultivation, having children becomes extremely difficult; many cultivators don't even have their own children.

After hearing Qi Ying's explanation, Qian Yao scratched his head and gave an awkward smile, looking somewhat embarrassed.

However, the question he asked was a good thing for the inexperienced Chu Yunyi, because she didn't understand it and wanted to ask, but didn't dare to.

She had the same question in her mind, but she was afraid that others would laugh at her for her ignorance, so she never dared to ask it.

Fortunately, Qian Yao, that simpleton, asked the question directly; otherwise, Chu Yunyi really didn't know how long she would have had to keep it to herself to find out the answer!

At this moment, Qi Ying looked up at the sky and realized that it was getting late, so she turned to the crowd and asked,

"It's getting dark, how about we go eat together? We can choose a small restaurant or a large restaurant, where would you like to eat?"

As soon as Qi Ying finished speaking, Ouyang Qiao immediately said,

"Let's go to a restaurant. I don't really like eating in crowded places. Besides, there are a lot of us, so we can ask for a private room. It will be more comfortable that way."

Hearing Ouyang Qiao's words, Chu Yunyi couldn't help but glance at him a few more times, thinking to herself, "This guy seems quite impressive; he must be from a wealthy family..."

As she pondered, Chu Yunyi suddenly remembered her current financial straits. She bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered the courage to speak.

"Um... I don't have many spirit stones on me, only five low-grade spirit stones in total. The food in the restaurant is too expensive, I can't afford it. You guys go ahead and eat, don't worry about me. I'll just find something nearby to fill my stomach."

Chu Yunyi stood still, her gaze fixed on the distant, dimly lit area.

She knew there must be many delicious dishes waiting for her to taste there.

Although the food from those roadside stalls often contains impurities and cannot compare with the exquisite dishes in restaurants.

Nevertheless, she didn't have enough spirit stones to enjoy the food at the restaurant.

She had a limited number of spirit stones, which she wanted to use for cultivation. Besides, she also had a Bigu Pill that had been given to her when she received resources before. This pill would allow her to go without food for thirty days.

She kept it without eating it, simply reserving it for future use.

She didn't want to use spirit stones easily during this trip, so she was somewhat hesitant about dining at a restaurant.
