Chapter 440: Gathering at Tianwai Village

Hearing Dan Yuwu's words, Yuwen Tuo wore a look of shame.

However, Duan Fengyun smiled and beckoned Ning Ke over, pointing at her as he said:

"Madam, you won't be bored anymore now.

This is the daughter-in-law Brother Yuwen found for you, Ning Ke.

Once you're holding a big grandson in a few years, you won't be able to be bored even if you want to."

Looking at Dan Yuwu, Ning Ke thought of what her Demon Father had once done to her, and with a look of guilt, she said to Dan Yuwu:

"Madam, I am sorry. It was my father who made you suffer so much and kept you and Yuwen Tuo separated for so long.

Everything was caused by my father. I am sorry."

Ning Ke bent at the waist and gave Dan Yuwu a deep bow.

Seeing this, Dan Yuwu hurriedly helped Ning Ke up and said:

"Silly child, it is fine. Everything is in the past.

I have heard all about you and Tuo'er.

Thank you for taking such good care of Tuo'er all these years."

Duan Fengyun looked at Dan Yuwu and teased:

"Madam, are you satisfied with this daughter-in-law, Ning Ke?"

Ning Ke and Yuwen Tuo also looked at Dan Yuwu with anticipation and nervousness.

Ning Ke knew that Yuwen Tuo was a filial son; if Dan Yuwu opposed their marriage, Yuwen Tuo would truly have to reconsider the matter.

【To be honest, I have been using Wild Fruit Reading to keep up with books lately. It has many sources, supports text-to-speech, and works on both Android and Apple.】

Ning Ke had never felt so nervous; she waited anxiously for Dan Yuwu's answer.

Dan Yuwu did not speak, but instead took the Jade Bracelet off her own wrist, placed it into Ning Ke's hand, and said:

"I have no objections, as long as Tuo'er likes you, that is enough.

This was an heirloom given to me by Tuo'er's grandmother when I first married into the Yuwen family.

Today, I pass this Jade Bracelet to you, hoping that you and Tuo'er can branch out and spread the family line, adding children and grandchildren for my Yuwen family."

Looking at the Jade Bracelet in her hand, the perceptive Ning Ke immediately understood Dan Yuwu's meaning.

Ning Ke said excitedly: "Thank you, Madam. Thank you, Madam."

Dan Yuwu smiled slightly, looked at Guyue and the others behind them, and said:

"You must all be hungry. I will go and cook for everyone."

Guyue waved his hand and said:

"Madam, you are a guest in my Tianwai Village; how could I let you do the work?

As for the cooking, leave it to us.

Isn't that right, Duan Fengyun!"

How could Duan Fengyun not understand Guyue's meaning? Guyue just wanted him to do the cooking.

However, now that the catastrophe in the Human Realm had subsided and Duan Fengyun had completed the mission given to him by the Yellow Emperor, he was in a pleasant mood and naturally agreed.

But before that, Duan Fengyun still introduced everyone to Dan Yuwu first.

"Madam, this is Immortal Guyue, this is Immortal Ran Weng, this is the Queen of the Diren Tribe, and this is Miss Xiaoxue."

Just as Dan Yuwu was preparing to pay her respects to them, she was stopped by Guyue.

"Madam, no need for such formalities, no need for such formalities. Just be at ease."

At this moment, a vegetable basket had already appeared in Duan Fengyun's hand, and he waved it as he said:

"Old fellow, you are going to have to get to work now.

Don't get angry; you threw a tantrum last time just because I ate a tiny bit of your vegetables."

Guyue looked at the large vegetable basket in Duan Fengyun's hand and felt a pang of pain in his heart, but having already spoken, he could not go back on his word now.

Guyue pretended to be generous, though he was actually heartbroken, and said:

"As you wish. Take as much as you want, just make it taste good later.

It's only a few vegetables; as long as everyone eats happily, I have no problem with it."

Ran Weng gave a thumbs up to salute Duan Fengyun.

In all these years, Ran Weng had never seen Guyue get bested so many times by one person; Duan Fengyun was the first, though it was a pity this guy would be leaving soon.

Duan Fengyun looked at Ran Weng and suddenly thought of something.

"Ran Weng, didn't that old fellow Guyue just say we could drink his fine wine as we pleased?

Go and pick out a few jars of good wine from his treasures. Remember, it must be good wine.

I believe you definitely know which ones are that old fellow Guyue's fine wines."

Duan Fengyun believed that given the relationship between Ran Weng and Guyue, he certainly knew which of Guyue's wines were the best, so letting Ran Weng fetch the wine was the most appropriate thing to do.

But before that, Duan Fengyun still wanted to confirm it with Guyue first.

"Old fellow, are you sure we can drink your fine wine as we please?

If you are sure, I will let Ran Weng go get the wine?"

Duan Fengyun's eyes were fixed on Guyue, waiting for a final answer.

Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Guyue dared not refuse, so he smiled and said:

"When have I ever gone back on my word? Take my wine as you please, drink as you please!"

Upon hearing Guyue's words, Ran Weng shouted with excitement.

"Great, great! I have been eyeing those treasures of yours for thousands of years.

You usually don't even let me touch them; today, I finally get to enjoy them."

Duan Fengyun, you are the only one with such methods, actually being able to trick Guyue's treasures out of him.

Wait for me to go find you a bottle of Monkey Wine that Guyue has always treasured; I will surely make you marvel at it then."

Hearing Ran Weng mention the Monkey Wine, Guyue's expression changed; he had not expected that after so much time had passed, Ran Weng would still be eyeing his Monkey Wine.

But his word had already been given, and he could not go back on it.

Guyue had no choice but to stay to the side without a word; Duan Fengyun had just noticed the change in Guyue's expression, and Duan Fengyun nodded and said:

"Then Ran Weng, you go and bring out Guyue's Monkey Wine and all his other fine wines.

Today I want to taste all of Guyue's fine wines."

Guyue looked up and rolled his eyes at Duan Fengyun, said nothing, and tacitly allowed Ran Weng to walk into his wine cellar.

Meanwhile, Duan Fengyun went straight into his vegetable garden and began to harvest in large quantities.

Acting on the thought of "out of sight, out of mind," Guyue turned his head, took the Diren Tribe Queen by the hand, and said:

"Yuyu, this is your first time at Tianwai Village, let me take you for a walk."

The Diren Tribe Queen naturally knew Guyue's intention, and she did not expose him; the Diren Tribe Queen and Guyue began to tour Tianwai Village hand in hand.

Yuwen Tuo, Ning Ke, and Dan Yuwu walked into the house; the three of them, now a family, naturally had many things to say.

The only ones left in the entire vegetable garden were Duan Fengyun, who was harvesting in large quantities, and Yu Xiaoxue, who had nothing to do.

Seeing that the vegetables in the basket were almost enough, Duan Fengyun carried the basket to Yu Xiaoxue and said:

"Miss Xiaoxue, since you are idle anyway, why not come and help me out?"

Yu Xiaoxue nodded and replied:

"Alright, I see that they all seem to like the food you cook, and I was just wanting to learn from you."

Duan Fengyun smiled slightly and brought Yu Xiaoxue into the kitchen.

The entire kitchen was clean and tidy; it seemed that during the time Dan Yuwu had been here, she had cleaned up quite a bit.

Duan Fengyun was responsible for cooking the rice, while Yu Xiaoxue was responsible for washing the vegetables. Watching Yu Xiaoxue's back as she washed the vegetables, Duan Fengyun asked:

"Miss Xiaoxue, I can tell that you like Brother Yuwen.

Watching Brother Yuwen and Ning Ke get married with your own eyes, I wonder what you are thinking in your heart.

You can tell me; perhaps I can share the burden with you."

Yu Xiaoxue smiled and said:

"I do indeed like Yuwen Tuo, but the one I like is not this Yuwen Tuo; perhaps I like the person who was once named Jianchi.

Brother Jianchi lives in my heart forever.

Yuwen Tuo and Ning Ke have been through so much, and now they have finally achieved a happy ending; this is a matter that should be celebrated.

In my heart, I only have deep blessings for them."

Duan Fengyun had not expected Yu Xiaoxue to be so open-minded, and Duan Fengyun sighed with emotion:

"Miss Xiaoxue, you really are open-minded.

If it were me watching the person I love marry someone else, I certainly would not be able to accept it."

Yu Xiaoxue looked at Duan Fengyun; this man before her could be extremely terrifying when serious, and when he laughed, one felt he was extremely unreliable, but Yu Xiaoxue had never heard of Duan Fengyun's romantic history.

Curious, Yu Xiaoxue asked:

"Brother Duan, looking at you, you must have experienced many things as well.

Could you tell me about your love story?"

Duan Fengyun looked at Yu Xiaoxue; his love story had been buried in his heart for a long time, but today he could take the opportunity to tell Yu Xiaoxue about it.

Of course, Duan Fengyun would only speak of Youruo and Yueya; other matters that were inconvenient to tell Yu Xiaoxue, he would gloss over.

Thus, Duan Fengyun told Yu Xiaoxue about Youruo and Yueya; after hearing Duan Fengyun's story, Yu Xiaoxue's eyes were red with emotion.

She had not expected that there were so many stories behind Duan Fengyun, and it was no wonder that Duan Fengyun would be in such a hurry to leave after quelling the catastrophe in the Human Realm.

Duan Fengyun carried such a heavy burden on his shoulders; Yu Xiaoxue felt a bit of heartache for Duan Fengyun now.

Seeing the look in Yu Xiaoxue's eyes, Duan Fengyun smiled:

"Miss Xiaoxue, do not look at me with that gaze.

I feel that having had those two companions, I feel very happy.

I believe that one day, I will be reunited with them."

Yu Xiaoxue also nodded and said:

"Brother Duan, I also believe that you will be reunited with your beloved."

Duan Fengyun smiled:

"Alright, alright, let us hurry and cook.

If they come to the kitchen later and see us chatting, they will probably beat us to death."

Yu Xiaoxue smiled and began to continue washing the vegetables.

Under Duan Fengyun's masterful skill, one exquisite vegetarian dish after another was served on the dining table.

Looking at the food that looked excellent and smelled fragrant, Ran Weng and the others all looked at Duan Fengyun with the eyes one would use to look at a monster.

This Duan Fengyun's strength was already so terrifying, and his culinary skills were also this good; he really was a monster.

Duan Fengyun ignored everyone's gazes and just silently opened the wine pot that Ran Weng had placed in front of him.

Written on the wine pot was indeed the Monkey Wine that Ran Weng praised; Duan Fengyun opened the pot and smelled the fragrant aroma of wine; it appeared to be a pot of fine wine indeed.

Good wine certainly could not be enjoyed alone, so Duan Fengyun poured a cup for everyone.

Having survived the catastrophe, the feeling of still being able to sit together to drink and eat was truly wonderful.

This meal was eaten with great joy by all the guests, and even the usually icy beauty Ning Ke actually had a bit of tipsiness.
