Chapter 287: When the Sky Gained a Few Extra Suns, My Wife Arrived
Wu Qi followed the elegantly dressed crowd, standing tall in her spine straight, high heels clicking as she exuded a sense of self-satisfaction.
Unfortunately, her phone had been confiscated as well.
Otherwise, attending a private gathering like this with some nobles, taking a photo and sharing it with her circle of sisters, showing off and receiving praise, would have been so satisfying.
The grand hall's doors opened, and Kan Huan, with Er Jian's waist in his arms, spoke softly.
"Mr. Qi, to celebrate the completion of our transaction, I've organized a small banquet for you."
Facing Qi Yuan, Kan Huan's demeanor shifted to one of utmost politeness, a stark contrast to his usual self.
At that moment, Wu Qi quickly scanned the hall's furnishings.
Upon seeing various firearms on the silkwood table, her eyes narrowed, as artists like her rarely encountered such genuine weapons.
As Kan Huan spoke, she also looked towards the depths of the hall.
There, a person sat fishing.
Wu Qi's eyes narrowed, for she felt a sense of familiarity with that silhouette.
Just then, the young man turned around, revealing a bright and handsome face.
Upon seeing that face, Wu Qi's heart skipped a beat.
For that person... was none other than her junior, Qi Yuan!
She doubted her eyes, thinking they might be mistaken, or perhaps the two looked alike. But with such a high-caliber face, how could she be wrong?
However, remembering that she once "looked down" on her junior, who had now become a powerful figure capable of toying with her, a surge of inexplicable shame and anger filled her. Wu Qi's face flushed.
Then, a strange sense of stimulation spread within her, as if she had just ridden a rollercoaster.
At that moment, a smile appeared on Kan Huan's face. "I wonder if you're satisfied with these..."
Qi Yuan, at that moment, looked at Kan Huan with a slightly awkward expression. "You're throwing a party... and you invited me?"
Normally, he should be dead, and now he's throwing a party without inviting me?
He was at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond.
Seeing Qi Yuan's reaction, Kan Huan breathed a sigh of relief.
He feared that Qi Yuan would be indifferent.
Judging by Qi Yuan's response, he had clearly remembered.
Kan Huan then introduced Qi Yuan to the group: "These ladies are all quite famous celebrities."
He pointed to Wu Qi. "She's from Tianyue City and was your classmate."
He specifically called out Wu Qi because she and Qi Yuan might have had a connection in the past, as they were once classmates.
This identity would further stimulate their senses.
Otherwise, a star of Wu Qi's caliber wouldn't have the qualifications to attend their private gathering.
"Oh, what a coincidence. I remember you, the junior who ate three sweet potatoes in one go. I never thought you'd become a celebrity," Qi Yuan said, looking at Wu Qi, as his excellent memory brought back past events.
Wu Qi's face turned slightly red, feeling embarrassed yet proud that a big shot like Qi Yuan remembered her, even if it was for eating three sweet potatoes.
"I have a good memory and never forget a face," Qi Yuan said, looking at Kan Huan. "Did you bring the goods?"
The goods were naturally some rare Immortal cultivation materials from the Yue Lang Cabinet.
Kan Huan nodded. "Yes, with the urgency, I sought help from General He Luan to gather these goods just before our return."
Hearing this, Wu Qi felt Qi Yuan was even more unfathomable.
She never imagined that her ordinary but handsome junior had such a background.
Stretching her neck, she wanted to see what precious items the general had helped collect.
The black-clad mercenaries opened the boxes, revealing a pile of strange plants, all sealed in transparent bags.
Through the bags, Wu Qi's eyes widened in surprise.
Because among these plants, she recognized some... ordinary weeds.
"This is great, enough for quite some time," Qi Yuan said, looking at the wooden boxes with satisfaction.
Kan Huan smiled humbly. "If you're satisfied, Mr. Qi, that's all that matters."
"How about we collaborate? You help me gather some materials, and I'll pay you or... I can give you some finished products, but it depends on my mood," Qi Yuan said, turning back to the sea, seemingly still focused on fishing, his back to everyone.
However, his voice was clear in everyone's ears.
The female celebrities didn't notice anything unusual, but Kan Huan did.
(Chapter End)
In Qi Yuan's mind, his evaluation of Zhang Wei had risen to a whole new level.
"I want the finished product!"
There was no need to even think about it.
Money was not an issue for Zhang Wei.
As for the finished product, according to Qi Yuan's guess, it was definitely something akin to a divine pill.
The women around him watched as Zhang Wei's expression showed a loss of composure, their eyes filled with curiosity.
They had no idea what this transaction truly represented.
"Alright, take these things to my place.
I'll send you information about the other materials. If there's not enough money or if you encounter any danger, contact me."
The materials required by Qi Yuan were numerous and diverse.
Some were rare and uncommon.
Collecting them would require a significant amount of resources.
Some items couldn't even be bought in stores.
That's why Qi Yuan wanted to collaborate with Zhang Wei, someone with a certain level of capability.
Zhang Wei's heart was filled with joy, and he said in a deep voice, "It's my honor to serve Mr. Qi."
After all, if the cultivation technique was genuine, Mr. Qi would undoubtedly be a legendary immortal.
Serving an immortal was indeed an honor.
"You few, go and accompany Mr. Qi!" Zhang Wei quickly signaled to the female celebrities.
Upon hearing this, Wu Qi and the others hurriedly walked towards Qi Yuan with graceful steps, especially Wu Qi, whose exaggerated posture seemed eager to reveal her ample charms.
At the same time, on the Sea Star Peak, whispered conversations could be heard.
"Do you know that Zhang Wei, a Viscount, actually spent a fortune to buy a cultivation technique from a swindler?"
"Cultivation technique? Do you think Zhang Wei's gone mad?"
"The most ridiculous part is that he found this swindler online while browsing videos."
Apparently, that seller is a mental patient.
In these times, even mental patients can scam people, and there are still those who believe them. It's embarrassing for our nobility."
"Now, he's treating that guy as an immortal and inviting a bunch of celebrities for a private banquet. Should we go in and expose his lies?"
"You're crazy. If it's fake, and you expose him, you'll only embarrass Zhang Wei. What's the benefit in that?"
"If it's fake, it's fine; we'll only embarrass Zhang Wei. But if it's real, you'll offend an immortal!"
These men and women laughed as if it were a post-dinner joke, and soon the topic shifted again.
As for going to Zhang Wei's private banquet to provoke and expose Qi Yuan's true identity... Only a fool or someone with too much time on their hands would do such a thing.
At this moment, in Zhang Wei's private banquet, the anticipated chaotic scene did not unfold.
Although Wu Qi and the others were arranged to be near Qi Yuan, Qi Yuan claimed that he had a marital commitment and needed to maintain his integrity.
However, instead of driving them away, he used them as bait.
At this moment, Wu Qi was fishing, her heart filled with anxiety.
She regretted not having met Qi Yuan sooner.
If she had known about Qi Yuan's identity back in high school, with her methods, she could have easily captured a high school junior as a senior.
But now, facing Qi Yuan, she always felt inferior, and her actions and words were hesitant.
This was the difference in status and power.
Power, money, and influence could indeed give one confidence.
When facing beings more powerful than oneself, even creatures that followed the natural order felt inferior.
"Stop daydreaming and work harder," Qi Yuan glanced at Wu Qi beside him.
"I'm reading a book, a 16 to 19 version with no errors!"
Wu Qi hurriedly replied, feeling flustered, "I'm reading!"
She wasn't good at fishing, and now her movements were clumsy.
Seeing this, Zhang Wei smiled faintly, "I didn't expect Mr. Qi to uphold such noble principles."
If Qi Yuan were one of those swindlers, he would have probably gone crazy by now.
But even if he wasn't a swindler, it was normal for an immortal to indulge in pleasures.
"Unlike you, I have a wife who's the envy of the nation." Qi Yuan said proudly.
However, thinking of something, Qi Yuan furrowed his brows and asked, "Does Qin Yuan Kingdom have laws against bigamy?"
"Yes, but you can keep her as a mistress, which is legal, and even illegitimate children have inheritance rights," Zhang Wei replied truthfully, glancing at Wu Qi.
"But without a marriage certificate, how can it be considered a marriage?" Qi Yuan refused.
He wanted to give each of his wives a proper home.
"After some time, my wife will probably arrive. When she does, can you help me with the marriage certificate?" Qi Yuan asked.
When he reaches the Primordial Core Realm, he can pull the Star Core's projection into this universe.
At that time, Ning Tuo can also be summoned by Qi Yuan.
Since Qi Yuan's main body has already entered the Divine Infancy Realm, his physical strength and spiritual power are abundant, allowing him to summon Ning Tuo's projection, which can remain here without worrying about returning to the Star Core's projection.
There was also a wife, naturally Xiao Jia.
When the two of them appeared together and got married, they would save some money.
"This... is possible." Kan Huan hesitated for a moment before agreeing immediately.
"Oh, right, my two wives don't have ID cards... is that okay?"
"It's fine..." Kan Huan's expression was strange as he tentatively asked, "Where are your sisters-in-law now?"
"They're in the sky," Qi Yuan said.
Wu Qi, standing nearby, was completely bewildered by this conversation.
The sky...?
What did that mean?
She recognized every word these two influential figures said, but when put together, she didn't understand their meaning.
Kan Huan's heart skipped a beat: "When are they coming?"
"In a few months or so," Qi Yuan said softly.
As long as there were enough resources, Qi Yuan didn't need to be too strict about the Foundation Establishment Spirit Beast and the Core Formation Spirit Beast. He only needed a few months to enter the Primordial Core Realm.
As for the Dark Deity Realm, it might take a little longer.
That was measured in years.
After all, in this world, Qi Yuan had not yet discovered a way to gain experience by killing monsters.
In the Moonlit Continent, there were game monsters that gave experience when killed, and in the Mundane Heart Realm, there were new gods that could be slain.
In this world, there was currently no evil Grand Master.
This world was suitable for him and his wife to spend their honeymoon.
"When you look up at the sky and see a few more suns, my wife will probably have arrived," Qi Yuan said, gazing up at the sky.
In the sky, besides a sun, there were also some stars adorning it.
The female celebrities present were stunned by Qi Yuan's words.
Wu Qi boldly asked, "Will there be a few more suns in the sky?"
Kan Huan was a little bewildered at this moment, as Qi Yuan's words were too astonishing.
Having a few more suns in the sky, what did that mean?
Perhaps... even the Archstar would be gone.
Although technology was advanced today, and powerful weapons were available,
When faced with a sun, even the nations of Cansan Star had no solution.
Seeming to notice Kan Huan's concern, Qi Yuan smiled lightly: "It's just a sun projection, it won't affect the Archstar's ecosystem. Think of it as a few more paintings in the sky."
Kan Huan's heart was filled with mixed emotions.
To be honest, these words were even more frightening than if Qi Yuan was a cultivator.
If Qi Yuan had a fortuitous encounter and obtained a cultivation technique, he could understand.
But with the sun appearing... was this even a cultivator?
"Haha..." Kan Huan laughed, taking Qi Yuan's words as a joke.
If Qi Yuan was such an existence, how could he be fishing with him?
And trading?
That didn't make sense.
"When your sisters-in-law descend, I'll personally go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get your marriage certificates!" Kan Huan patted his chest.
"Rest assured, it's just a few months, you won't have to wait too long." Qi Yuan said.
He was quite looking forward to Ning Tuo's arrival.
In the Liufeng Realm, Ning Tuo wore black stockings but had never worn white ones, which was a pity.
Kan Huan laughed, it was just a few months, he would soon know if it was a joke or not.
Just then, Wu Qi's face lit up with excitement, and she stood up, saying happily, "I caught a fish!"
Wu Qi fumbled with the fishing rod, but her technique was so poor that she struggled for a while without getting the fish out.
With the help of a female celebrity beside her, she finally caught the fish and put it into the bucket.
Kan Huan's eyes showed appreciation: "Well done, this is a golden fish, worth two thousand yuan, not bad." Wu Qi's heart was filled with joy, and she glanced at Qi Yuan, like a pet cat.
Unfortunately, Qi Yuan didn't look at her at all, but instead stared at the fish: "What a pity, it's not Xiao Ke Ai."
"Xiao Ke Ai?" Wu Qi asked in surprise.
The fish she caught was white with a hint of gold, where was the cuteness?
Kan Huan was also taken aback, then quickly said, "Does Mr. Qi have a cute one in mind?"
He guessed that among the sea fish, there might be the cultivation materials Qi Yuan needed.
"Yes, there's a cute one, but I don't know its name.
No problem, with some more fishing, we'll eventually catch it." Qi Yuan casually said.
Previously, when he fished here, he had seen that cute one.
His eyes had noticed a unique detail on that cute fish.
Unfortunately, Qi Yuan was too weak now, and with the curse upon him, it would be too much of a loss to jump into the sea for just one cute fish.
So, he borrowed these female celebrities to help him fish.
"A rare cute sea fish?" Kan Huan pondered, "I'll give it a try too, let's see who can catch it."
"A fish cuter than a golden one?" The other female celebrities were also eager to give it a shot.
