Chapter 442: Touring the Island City

Yuan Yao suddenly heard the broadcast about her youngest senior brother's awakening value increasing, her heart startled, and she couldn't help but glance at Ying Wuji several times.

"Youngest Senior Brother——" she hadn't finished speaking when she switched tone: "Have you advanced?"

Ying Wuji nodded, "Advanced."

"Ying Wuji, you're too monstrous!" Cang Li gritted his teeth and took a sip of tea, his expression indignant, why is his promotion speed so slow?!

No, it's not that he's slow, but that they're too fast!

"Then youngest senior brother, aren't you now at the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm?" Yuan Yao was also shocked, because her youngest senior brother is only seventeen years old!

A seventeen-year-old at the late Spirit Transformation Realm, if spread, wouldn't it cause a huge stir in the entire cultivation world?

Ying Wuji's phoenix eyes slightly lifted at the corners, he responded with an "Hmm."

Yuan Yao immediately looked at the others, "Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister, Fourth Senior Brother, have you all broken through your cultivation?"

The three nodded simultaneously.

Yuan Yao propped her cheeks with both hands, pondering: "How long will it take me to catch up with you?"

Cang Li said expressionlessly: "Yuan Yao, are you provoking me?"

Xiao Lingwei asked: "Yao Yao, have you also broken through your cultivation?"

"She's now at the same realm as me." Cang Li, already struck dumb, began to smirk: "Hehehe."

Upon learning that Yuan Yao had actually reached the early Nascent Soul Realm, Xiao Lingwei and the others couldn't help but feel shocked.

Because Yao Yao's growth speed is too fast.

Xiao Lingwei reached out and patted Cang Li's shoulder: "Ah Li, although our cultivation realms are higher than yours, you can concoct pills; pill masters hold significant status in the cultivation world, you are in no way inferior to us."

Yuan Yao interjected: "Without the pills concocted by Third Senior Brother, we could only endure the injuries head-on."

"Ah Li——" Song Yan was about to speak to comfort Cang Li when he saw him suddenly stand up.

He spoke passionately: "I, Cangaotian, will never admit defeat! You all wait and see—I will become the strongest pill master in the cultivation world!"

Meanwhile, the guards outside the pavilion all heard his words.

They exchanged glances with each other.

And Song Yan and the others: "……"

Song Yan, who had the words of comfort on the tip of his tongue, also swallowed them back silently.

Cang Li looked at them: "Why aren't you speaking?"

"You've said it all; what else can we say?" Ying Wuji said.

"Wait, I just remembered a very serious matter." Cang Li raised his hand solemnly, then shifted his gaze to Xiao Lingwei's face, asking: "Second Senior Sister, you actually have a fiancé?!"

Yuan Yao also recalled this, she exclaimed in shock: "Second Senior Sister, is Xiahou Rui really your fiancé?"

Xue Jin and Song Yan were both unaware of this, because Xiao Lingwei had never mentioned it to them.

Ying Wuji lowered his eyelids, concealing the emotion in his eyes.

Xiao Lingwei nodded: "It's an arranged marriage made in the womb."

Cang Li and Yuan Yao were so shocked they opened their mouths wide.

Cang Li urgently asked: "Second Senior Sister, are you really going to become Dao companions with Xiahou Rui?"

On the way by boat, he and Yao Yao heard many things about Xiahou Rui.

Among them, the thing that left the deepest impression on him was that his body was extremely frail, plagued by chronic illness, essentially incurable.

How is that a suitable match?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingwei fell silent for a moment.

She shook her head: "No."

"I originally intended to personally tell him about dissolving the engagement, but he's been ill, and I feared that bringing it up would worsen his condition."

Xue Jin frowned: "Have you met him?"

"No." Xiao Lingwei also shook her head: "I currently have no intention of seeking a Dao companion, and moreover, I have never even met that Young Master Xiahou, let alone developed any feelings."

Song Yan thought of something, his expression solemn: "What if that Young Master Xiahou refuses to dissolve the engagement with you?"

"What if he refuses to dissolve the engagement? Could he forcefully become Dao companions with me? Moreover, I don't care about reputation, but… if handled improperly, it would damage Fusang Island's reputation." Xiao Lingwei said as she continued, her expression slightly awkward.

Cang Li scratched his head: "This is troublesome."

Xiao Lingwei told them: "I will settle this; you needn't worry."

"Second Senior Sister, if it really comes to it, I'll help you…… kill him."

Before he could finish speaking, Yuan Yao sprang up, covered his mouth with one hand, and quickly made a shushing gesture with the other.

Xue Jin closed his mouth.

"Jin, you cannot act like this." Song Yan frowned: "If you go too far in the future, it will bring you deadly disaster."

Xue Jin's expression remained indifferent, he gave a soft "hmm."

Thereafter, no one dwelled on this topic further.

Xiao Lingwei looked at them: "Do you want to participate in the Sea Hunt Event? If you do, I'll prepare water-avoiding pearls for you."

Xue Jin had no interest in the Sea Hunt Event: "I won't participate."

Cang Li raised his eyebrows: "I will participate!"

"Then I'll participate too!" Yuan Yao said with a delighted smile: "But Second Senior Sister, you don't need to prepare a water-avoiding pearl for me, because Fourth Senior Brother already gave me a beautiful one."

Song Yan chuckled: "Then I'll just join in for the fun."

Everyone had expressed their stance, except Ying Wuji.

They all turned their gazes toward Ying Wuji.

"I won't participate." Ying Wuji said calmly.

Cang Li said solemnly: "You two always just know how to cultivate; do you realize your lives will be extremely dull and boring?"

Xue Jin's handsome face showed a hint of disdain, "I'm not interested."

Ying Wuji's face was expressionless.

Cang Li: "……".

Xiao Lingwei said, "Since Cang Li and Yuan Yao are both here, let the six of us stroll around Fusang Island City tonight; I heard the city is hosting many wonderful events."

"Alright!" Yuan Yao replied cheerfully.

…

Night fell.

All six changed into the distinctive attire of the Fusang Clan.

Yuan Yao wore a bright red dress, her hair half up, and a ruby‑tipped tiny bell ornament on her forehead; she looked radiant and captivating, impossible to take one's eyes off her.

Xiao Lingwei wore a white dress, swapping her usual forehead band for a white jade forehead ornament; her oval face was exquisitely shaped, with a hint of vigor in her brows and eyes, exuding a strong aura.

Song Yan, Cang Li, Xue Jin, and Ying Wuji each wore garments of different colors.

Song Yan wore a pale pink Fusang outfit, exposing half of his arm; his arm muscles were clearly defined, and his expression was slightly uneasy.

Cang Li, Xue Jin, and Ying Wuji, however, have a strong tolerance.

They didn't feel any discomfort from exposing half of their arms.

When the six of them walked along the lantern‑adorned street, the surrounding people kept glancing sideways.

Yuan Yao saw a stall selling roasted bird eggs, hurried over, and asked the vendor for a paper bag of bird eggs.

Before Yuan Yao could pull out money, the person beside her had already paid.

Yuan Yao turned her head, smiling, "Thanks, Youngest Senior Brother."

Saying that, she took a steaming roasted bird egg from the paper bag and handed it to Ying Wuji.

"Youngest Senior Brother, try it."
