Chapter 356: Chapter 351: Don’t Care About So Much

The banquet had begun, and everyone congratulated Yan Rufeng on his imminent ascension to the Immortal World.

The banquet hall was filled with laughter and joy, yet there were some who couldn’t find any happiness in their hearts.

Wen Tong felt melancholic and her heart heavy. Although the fruit wine brewed by Yan Rufeng was delicious and aromatic, she kept swirling her glass without drinking.

"Ha!"

A bitter smile formed in Wen Tong’s heart.

"Now that I’ve come, he’s about to leave. What purpose do I have here..."

"Ha!"

Wen Tong smiled, shook her head, raised her glass, and slowly approached Yan Rufeng.

Blood Slaughter, who was drinking with Yan Rufeng, noticed Wen Tong approaching and gave Yan Rufeng a wink, grinning mischievously: "Boss, a beautiful lady is coming to toast you."

Yan Rufeng slowly turned around, his lips curling into a slight smile as he raised his glass.

"Wen Tong, you’re here?"

Wen Tong forced a faint smile.

"Brother Rufeng, I know you have a heavy burden to shoulder, but I didn’t expect you’d ascend to the Immortal World so soon. I wish you all the best there, may you ascend to Godhood soon and return to Earth to save the world."

Yan Rufeng smiled: "Wen Tong, I’ll take your kind words to heart. Cheers!"

Yan Rufeng raised his glass and drank it all in one go.

Wen Tong gently raised her arm, covering her face as she drank from her glass.

Yan Rufeng’s smile deepened: "Wen Tong, I’m about to ascend to the Immortal World. I hope you will diligently cultivate on the Canglong Star and catch up to me soon."

Wen Tong opened her mouth slightly, exhaling a mesmerizing fragrance.

"Rufeng, I will..."

Wen Tong toasted Yan Rufeng for three more drinks, then stepped back.

Not far away, Liu Ping’er twisted her waist and, with light steps, walked towards Yan Rufeng.

"Brother Rufeng!"

Yan Rufeng turned at the sound, seeing Liu Ping’er with cheeks like blooming peach blossoms, and smiled faintly.

"Sister Ping’er, you seem to have had a bit too much to drink."

"Hehe!"

Liu Ping’er giggled charmingly.

"Who can blame me when your fruit wine is so delicious? I’m afraid that after you ascend to the Immortal World, I won’t get to drink it again. I couldn’t help but have a few more glasses."

"Ha!"

Yan Rufeng chuckled quietly.

"Sister Ping’er, since you like it so much, I’ll save some for you after the banquet ends. Please, stop drinking for now!"

"That won’t do!"

Yan Rufeng looked at Liu Ping’er in surprise.

"Why not?"

Liu Ping’er rolled her eyes at Yan Rufeng, pouting.

"Brother Rufeng, I haven’t toasted you yet!"

"Haha!"

Yan Rufeng laughed: "Sister Ping’er, in that case, I’ll drink three more glasses with you."

"Hehe..."

Liu Ping’er laughed, but her smile was forced. After three more glasses, she bowed her head and retreated.

Tears slid down her cheeks. Liu Ping’er lowered her head even more, then rushed out of the banquet hall and flew to a mountaintop.

"Wuuu~"

Unable to control herself any longer, Liu Ping’er burst into tears.

A slender figure appeared beside Liu Ping’er.

"Sister Ping’er, why are you crying?"

Liu Ping’er hastily wiped her tears, stammering: "Wen Tong, why are you here?"

"Ha!"

Wen Tong forced a smile.

"Sister Ping’er, we’ve worked so hard to come to Canglong Star. I just wanted to take a walk and see the beautiful scenery here."

Though Wen Tong masked her feelings well, Liu Ping’er saw from her eyes that she was not here just to enjoy the scenery.

"Ha!"

Liu Ping’er laughed: "Wen Tong, I think you’re reluctant to part with him, aren’t you?"

Wen Tong raised her head abruptly and asked: "Who is he?"

"Haha!"

Liu Ping’er suddenly laughed, bending over in mirth.

"Who else could it be? The only person who could keep us both awake at night, dreaming of him—who else but him?"

"Ha!"

Wen Tong sneered.

"Sister Ping’er, you like him too?"

"Yes!"

Liu Ping’er nodded gently.

"Haha..."

Wen Tong laughed, and as she laughed, she started to cry.

"Sister Ping’er, I’m so foolish. He’s so outstanding that I knew from the start many would love him. Now, he has Yi Mu, but why am I still so stubborn in loving him?"

"Sigh!"

Liu Ping’er heaved a long sigh.

"Sister, like you, I know he has no feelings for me, but I still steadfastly like him."

Wen Tong stopped laughing and looked at Liu Ping’er, her eyes brimming with tears.

Liu Ping’er walked over to Wen Tong and patted her shoulder.

"Sister, I heard that in this world, there aren’t so many constraints. The men here often have multiple wives. Since we’ve arrived here, we can love freely. We just need to cultivate diligently and ascend to the Immortal World as soon as possible."

Wen Tong looked at Liu Ping’er with tearful eyes and earnestly asked: "Sister Ping’er, is that really possible?"

"Yes!"

Liu Ping’er nodded firmly.

"Hehe!"

Wen Tong suddenly smiled.

"As long as I can be with Brother Rufeng, I don’t care if he has eight wives..."

"Uh!"

Liu Ping’er’s face turned dark with lines, speechless and unsure of what to say...

...

The banquet soon concluded. After arranging everything, Yan Rufeng solemnly said to Ye Lingtian: "Lingtian, my disciple, tomorrow I will ascend to the Immortal World. You must remember, even if you have the power to ascend at any time, you must wait five hundred years before ascending!"

Ye Lingtian did not question Yan Rufeng’s instructions.

Ye Lingtian bowed: "I will adhere to Master’s orders!"

Xiao Fei, who stood nearby, cupped his hands: "Brother Yan, you want Lingtian to wait five hundred years to ascend, but what about me?"

Yan Rufeng smiled: "Brother Xiao, as long as you wish, you can ascend to the Immortal World as soon as you reach the Mahayana Realm."

"Haha!"

Xiao Fei glanced at Ye Lingtian, feeling smug.

"Sigh."

"Ye Lingtian, oh Ye Lingtian, why is there such a disparity between people?"

Ye Lingtian responded coldly: "Xiao Fei, what do you mean?"

"Ha!"

Xiao Fei laughed: "Five hundred years, just think about it, it’s terrifying. By the time you finally ascend, I could crush you with a single finger if I wanted!"

"Ha."

Ye Lingtian said coldly: "Xiao Fei, don’t get too cocky. Five hundred years, or even if I ascend a thousand years later, you wouldn’t be my match."

"Haha!"

Xiao Fei laughed heartily: "Fine, Ye Lingtian, you better remember every word you’ve said today."

Ye Lingtian remained silent. Yan Rufeng turned to Xiao Fei and asked: "Brother Xiao, when will they reach outside the Canglong Star Domain?"

Xiao Fei suddenly became serious, puzzled: "Brother Yan, there are at least ten billion cultivators at Mahayana Realm or above in the Mortal Domain. Are you sure you want to take that many people to ascend?"

Yan Rufeng replied calmly: "Brother Xiao, do I look like I’m joking?"

Xiao Fei shook his head.

"You don’t!"

"Ha!"

Yan Rufeng smiled slightly.

"Brother Xiao, let’s wait for them outside the Canglong Star Domain..."
