Welcome to Samsara Online. Wish you a happy reincarnation.
Xie Feng opened his eyes slowly to welcome to the new world. As always, he breathed in deeply and enjoyed the pure air, free of pollution, unlike the real world.
At this moment, Xie Feng was alone in his mansion in the virtual world; this was where he had disconnected before. Although he was alone right now, things would soon become livelier because Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue would start session as soon as they finished to organize the clothes, perfumes, and beautiful jewelry he bought for them on their travel to the country’s capital. In addition, his three college friends were also heading here after learning that he had returned to Shanghai.
Tic... Tac... Tic... Tac... Tic... Tac...
The only sound that reached his ears was that of the ancient magic clock in the corner of the large living room. Xie Feng sighed softly and sat comfortably on the sofa next to him.
After a moment’s thought, Xie Feng let little Ling Long out of the pet space.
"Puuh!" With a flash of white light, a small cat-sized dragon appeared beside Xie Feng and greeted him with a big smile. No matter how many times Xie Feng saw Ling Long’s smile, he always found it entertaining and refreshing.
Xie Feng smiled slightly and hugged the little dragon. While gently cuddling Ling Long’s scales, she closed her little eyes and enjoyed the cuddles he gave her; on the other hand, Xie Feng began to think very seriously about what to do next.
During the previous week, except for accompanying Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue, as well as occasional monster hunting outings with his friends, Xie Feng had not left the gates of his house even once therefore his level had not increased and was still at 22. But even then he was still at the top of the level table, although he was being closely pressed by several people.
In any case, levels were the least of Xie Feng’s worries.
"Reach the top floor of the ’Heaven of Samsara’ and collect all the pearls." That was what Han Xue Nai, the terrifying little girl Xie Feng had met in outer space, had advised him before disappearing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUntil now, Xie Feng had not seen Han Xue Nai again even when he would sneak out in the middle of the night to inspect the surroundings of planet Earth. After a few days without encountering her, Xie Feng finally gave up and began to take the girl’s words seriously.
’Heaven of Samsara’ was a place that probably no player had visited and that no NPC had accessed for who knows how many years or centuries. In fact, it was such a mysterious place that the only reason Xie Feng knew of its existence was because he currently had a mission related to this mystical and apparently dangerous place.
Xie Feng opened the current mission menu and after some searching, he easily found what he was looking for.
[Mission Name: Hero’s Awakening -
Mission Objective 1: Reach the 20th floor of Heaven of Samsara (Incomplete)
Mission Objective 2: Find the Purity Crystal (Incomplete)
Mission Objective 3: Find a way to return to Beginner’s Village No. 666 (Complete)

Time Limit: 1 Year
Punishment for failed: -10 Levels
Reward: Xiao Lei will swear his loyalty to you.]
The time limit had already passed a little over a month but forget about reaching the 20th floor of the Heaven of Samsara or finding the Purity Crystal... Xie Feng didn’t even know where the rumored place was located, where the most powerful and terrifying monsters of the entire Adastreia Continent were supposed to have been sealed away.
Xie Feng thought for several minutes until he finally realized that the easiest way to get answers was to seek out a person knowledgeable about this world and with the authority to know about certain secrets.... Coincidentally, he knew just the person. Although he would probably have to pay a price for such information, Xie Feng believed that King Hu Yi would not refuse his request after he technically saved his son’s life two times in such a short time.
The second problem was the pearls that Han Xue Nai was talking about.
Swoosh!
Xie Feng took out a fist-sized sphere from his inventory. The color of the sphere was as white as the purest snow and felt cool to the touch like ice on a hot summer day from hell. The white light surrounding the sphere had a sacred aura as if blessed by the God of Light.
Naturally, this sphere was the Pearl of Light that Xie Feng had obtained during his travel through the lands of Adastreia Continent and when he saved the life of the little girl named Shui Wuhen.
(A / N: Ch. 84 approx.)
Although Han Xue Nai had not said it explicitly, Xie Feng was completely sure that she was referring to the seven legendary pearls. So far, Xie Feng obtained one of the seven pearls only by chance of destiny. He also knew that in Beginner’s Village Number 666 was the Pearl of Earth in the possession of Xiao Lei, the mysterious old man of the potion store; although it was not his, at least he knew where the second pearl was.
Unfortunately, five of the seven pearls were missing and no one knew where or how to find them. After all, such godly objects could not be found at the edge of the street like wild weeds. Xie Feng also did not believe that King Hu Yi knew anything about such objects and even if he did it was unlikely that he would reveal any information just like that.
In any case, now that he had cleared his mind and knew what his objectives were, Xie Feng kept the Pearl of Light and his eyes shone with a hint of determination; even though he didn’t have a marked path in front of him, he at least knew what he was looking for. Besides, it wasn’t as if he was in a labyrinth since he would be able to search for the Heaven of Samsara after he visited the city king anyway.
However, Xie Feng had other things to do for now.
"Ling Long, Illusory Light Body!"
"Puh puuh!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith a backward acrobatic leap, Ling Long landed on her back legs and her body was enveloped by a brilliant white light. When the white light completely disappeared, Xie Feng gazed in wonder at the beautiful young woman in front of him and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
During the previous week, he had always made Ling Long transform into her human form for the five hours a day that her newly acquired skill allowed. In those seven days, he worked hard to help the little dragon develop her communication skills.
Xie Feng nodded in satisfaction and patted the spot next to him on the sofa, indicating Ling Long to sit there. But who knew that Ling Long directly ignored Xie Feng’s signals and sat directly on his lap.
Feeling Ling Long’s two soft buttocks through her polka dot dress, Xie Feng’s mouth twitched a couple of times. This happened every day, so his reaction was no longer so great compared to the beginning. Still, it was hard to control himself 100% when such a high quality beauty was stuck to him without any protection.
Xie Feng soon calmed down completely and while hugging Ling Long’s small body he gently asked, "It’s okay, Ling Long. Repeat after me, ok?"
Seeing her nod as she looked at him intently, Xie Feng slowly opened his mouth and separated the words into syllables:
"Big Bro-ther."
Ling Long frowned for a moment and whispered, "Biiig..... Bro...ther..." After finishing, she looked at him expectantly, wanting to know if she did it correctly.
Seeing her puppyish look as if she was waiting to be praised by her owner, Xie Feng couldn’t help but laugh and pat her on the head while saying, "Hahaha! Well, you’ve improved quickly! I’m sure you’ll soon be able to talk to big brother every day. You really are a little genius, as expected of my dear Ling Long."
Xie Feng did not hold back in the least with his praise for her, to the delight of the beauty of the dragon race. She hugged him tightly as the sounds of "Puuh puuh" came out of her mouth non-stop.
In fact, it was amazing that in just a week she could pronounce a few words and understand their meaning considering Ling Long had only left the shell of that strange egg about half a month ago. Even so, there was still a long way to go.
Anyway, Xie Feng was not in a hurry about this. He would take his time and teach Ling Long to speak until she felt comfortable. Soon he would begin long journeys across the length and breadth of this world in pursuit of his goals and Ling Long would probably be the only one by his side. They both had plenty of time for her to learn to speak like a normal person.
While cuddling and pampering the little beauty in his arms, Xie Feng took out a golden card from his inventory and smiled slightly.
Samsara Online had been open for a little over a month and, during the previous week, over 80% of the players from all over the world had finally left the Beginner Village they were in. Because everyone had different lives and preferences, the time took a bit longer; but the important thing was that it finally happened.
