Yao Lao’s Wedding Banquet, Return to Central State

Xuan Yi’s shy face immediately turned scarlet. If those people saw this scene, their jaws would surely hit the floor. When had Xuan Yi ever shown this side of herself?

Yao Lao, on the other hand, had a thick skin and showed no embarrassment at all. Instead, he was delighted.

Seeing the smile on Yao Lao’s face, Xuan Yi immediately puffed up her cheeks like a sulky little woman. "Yao Chen, what are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, nothing. I just found my other half, so of course I’m happy!" Yao Lao immediately replied.

Smiling, Xuan Yi leaned against Yao Lao’s chest and whispered, "Yao Chen, when do you think we should get married? I want to do it right away. How about we get married tomorrow?"

As she spoke, Xuan Yi looked at Yao Lao with shining eyes. After all, she was still a little worried that he might run away. If they got married, she believed he definitely would not be able to run away.

Yao Lao smiled and nodded. "Of course we can, but I need to invite someone."

"Who? Let’s go invite them right now," Xuan Yi immediately said.

Yao Lao nodded and looked at Xuan Yi. "Xuan Yi, hold on tight. I’ve never tried spatial travel with someone over such a long distance before."

Xuan Yi immediately hugged Yao Lao tightly. Then, with a tear of his hand, a small crack instantly appeared in the air. Yao Lao’s expression turned solemn as he exerted all his strength, tearing the crack open until it was as large as a door. He then carried Xuan Yi inside.

Xuan Yi only felt her vision go dark before suddenly brightening again. She found herself transported from her room into a small courtyard. Seeing Xuan Yi in Yao Lao’s arms, Su Yu muttered gloomily, "I wanted to cause you brat some trouble, but instead I ended up helping you."

Yao Lao did not hear Su Yu’s muttering. He immediately released Xuan Yi, walked over to Su Yu, and said, "Senior, I’m getting married soon. Could you attend?"

Su Yu nodded. "Sure. We’ll all go when the time comes."

Yao Lao immediately nodded happily. Having Su Yu attend his wedding banquet truly made him feel deeply honored.

After speaking, Yao Lao took out the two porcelain bottles from before and looked at Xiao Yi Xian. "Xiao Yi Xian, there are two Ninth Grade Pills here. One is called the Extinguish Calamity Pill. It can completely remove your Woeful Poison Body and purify your physique, making you one of the greatest geniuses on the Dou Qi Continent."

"The other is called the Poison God Pill. Just like its name suggests, after taking it, you’ll be able to completely control your Woeful Poison Body. From then on, on the Dou Qi Continent, you’ll be the ancestor of all poison! Choose one of these pills for yourself."

Xiao Yi Xian immediately revealed a troubled expression. Seeing this, Yao Lao placed the pills in her hands. "There’s no need to decide now. Once you’ve thought it through, just choose one and take it."

The names of the pills had been left on the porcelain bottles, so Yao Lao was not worried that Xiao Yi Xian would mix them up.

Xuan Yi asked in surprise, "Yao Chen, you became a Ninth Grade Alchemist?"

Yao Lao smiled and nodded. "Yes. It was all thanks to Senior’s great kindness. Otherwise, I would probably still be nothing more than a wandering soul."

Xuan Yi immediately asked, "Yao Chen, I wanted to ask earlier. What happened to you all these years?"

Yao Lao walked over to Xuan Yi, sat down beside her, and said, "I’ll tell you slowly."

With that, Yao Lao began recounting what had happened to him in the past. Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, and Zi Yan also sat nearby curiously to listen, while Zhuo Kun naturally joined them as well.

After hearing about Yao Lao’s experiences, Xuan Yi said furiously, "Han Feng, that heartless wretch! You never should have taken him as your disciple! Let’s go find him right now. I’m going to kill that ungrateful bastard!"

As she spoke, Xuan Yi rose angrily to her feet. Yao Lao pulled her back down and said, "Don’t be so angry. I’ll deal with Han Feng myself. I didn’t act right away because he isn’t worth my effort. Killing him would only dirty my hands. But since you’re this angry, it won’t be too late to settle him after we’re married."

Xuan Yi nodded. "I’m going with you then. Hmph! If it weren’t for that ungrateful bastard, would you have suffered so much?"

Yao Lao smiled. "Actually, I should thank him as well. If not for him, how could I have met Senior? How could I have become a Half-Step Dou Di?"

After hearing Yao Lao’s story, Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, and Zi Yan all felt disgusted and furious toward Han Feng. Someone who betrayed his master and forsook his ancestors deserved to be torn to pieces by five horses!

Su Yu looked at Yao Lao and said, "You two should go back first and prepare the wedding venue, then invite your friends. I’ll go find Xiao Jiu and the others, and tomorrow we’ll head to Central State."

Yao Lao and Xuan Yi nodded, then the two left the small courtyard. Su Yu immediately sent a voice transmission to Mao Jiu, who was traveling in another region, telling her that Yao Lao was getting married and asking her to bring Yi Yi and Gu Xun’er back. After all, Yao Lao was also Yi Yi’s master, so it was only natural for her to attend his wedding banquet.

That very day, Mao Jiu returned with Su Yiyi and Gu Xun’er. As soon as Su Yiyi returned, she rushed to Su Yu’s side and asked excitedly, "Daddy, is Master really getting married?"

"Really. We’ll head to Central State first thing tomorrow morning," Su Yu said with a smile.

Su Yiyi asked curiously, "Then who is my master’s wife?"

"You wouldn’t know her even if I told you," Su Yu said, waving his hand.

Su Yiyi immediately shook Su Yu’s arm. "Ah, Daddy, just tell me!"

Su Yu smiled bitterly. "I really can’t do anything with you. Yao Lao’s wife is Xuan Yi, one of the three giants of Central State’s Pill Tower. You don’t know her, right?"

"Who says I don’t? I used to hear Master mention the three giants of the Pill Tower all the time. I never expected Xuan Yi to be my master’s wife," Su Yiyi said with a smile.

A strange smile appeared on Su Yu’s face. So Yao Lao had always kept Xuan Yi in his heart. Another hopeless tsundere.

The next day, Su Yu brought everyone directly across space to the Pill Tower in Central State. Xuan Yi truly was formidable. In just one day, she had arranged the wedding venue and informed every major force in Central State that Yao Lao had returned.

Yao Lao was also a well-known figure. That day, countless factions sent representatives over. Among them was Feng Xian, the deputy pavilion master of Starfall Pavilion, the faction Yao Lao had founded. The moment he heard that Yao Lao had returned yesterday, he had rushed over in a panic. Then he and Yao Lao drank together all night. The brothers had reunited, yet even after speaking from the heart all night, they still had not finished.

After Su Yu and the others arrived, Yao Lao personally came out to welcome them and led them to the foremost table at the wedding banquet. This table had been specially reserved by Yao Chen for Su Yu and his group.

Even Feng Xian could only take a seat at a lower table. Yao Lao had told Feng Xian about Su Yu the night before, so Feng Xian had no complaints whatsoever about sitting below. In fact, he felt that if Su Yu could not sit at the first table, then no one was qualified to do so.

PS: There are still three more chapters tonight.
