Chapter 427: Drinks To Each Other (1/2)

Moving through the streets of Tenrou City, Chen Xinjie and Long Yeyue were smiling while holding each other.

How could they not?

It was finally their time to become gods, not the ones that merely broke through the plane. But True Gods like the great Sea God Tang San and the God of Emotion Huo Yuhao.

Both of them had already accepted they wouldn't be able to become gods with their remaining lifetime.

Yet at the same time, they didn't want to die and leave each other. Especially after making up with each other, during the invasion of the two forces.

Long Yeyue would never admit it but Mu Xi's words had stuck with her. It was able to garner an odd feeling inside of her, this feeling increased even more during the Dou Lin Empire invasion.

And even more during the invasion of the Mortuus and Arkadian plane, causing her to admit that she really did love Chen Xinjie. Even if he made mistakes and so many more before, she didn't want to die in this life without a chance of being with him again.

So after they had made up, they planned to simply live the rest of their life out together after destroying the abyssal realm.

But with Tang Wulin making a God Star for them, they can finally live forever with each other. While there was an incoming threat coming, they didn't plan to be defeated.

As if they would let lose the chance of being together forever after all this time!

”It will be good to finally regain my beauty.”

”Hm really? To me, you still are as lovely as the day we first met.”

Chen Xinjie gently moves his thumb across Long Yeyue's face causing her to slightly blush while turning away from him.

”Hmph! When did you become such a sweet talker...”

”After I finally got you back, of course.”

Long Yeyue pursed her lips while glancing at the smiling Chen Xinjie. ”You really are... Fine, you better say only those words to me, you silly old man.”

Chen Xinjie chuckled as he wrapped his arms around Long Yueyue while having an emotional sigh and said, ”Of course! I wouldn't dare say this to anyone else!”

In Tang Sect.

”Huh? God Star? He actually made something like that... Can I study it!”

Ling Zichen wrapped her arms around Cao Dezhi while looking at him with stars in her eyes.

”You have to ask him yourself... Although I am unsure if you could even mess with it, considering you aren't a God.”

”Tsk... Stop reading me, if only I was strong enough. Curse this injury...”

As Cao Dezhi tried to calm Ling Zichen down, Zang Xin walked into the room as he stared at the duo in amusement.

”You do know she or he could ask Tang Wulin to just heal her injury right? Heck, you can do it after you become a God.”

Once Zang Xin pointed that out, Cao Dezhi blinked his eyes before releasing a laugh.

As Zang Xin was right! Tang Wulin was a 7-dimensional god that had control over infinite possibilities.

It should be pretty simple for him to simply wish she had no injury or that all of the injuries got healed.

”Screw him!”

”Zichen!”

Ling Zichen ignored Cao Dezhi's glare as she started to grit her teeth, thinking about the wasted opportunities.

”That bastard, are we sure he isn't avoiding me? It has been months, yet I haven't seen him once- Screw it, where is he right now?”

”He should still be in the garden-”

”Wait, Zichen.”

Ling Zichen was already out of the door by the time Cao Dezhi had finished calling her out. Sighing to himself, Cao Dezhi gave Zang Xin an annoyed look.

”What?”

”You idiot...”

Zang Xin rolled his eyes at Cao Dezhi's words.

Tang Wulin was walking through the streets of Tenrou City. No one was able to notice him, sense him, and see him.

He was hiding his presence, content on just enjoying this walk through the city he helped build.

The city that Zeref helped him plan, the city that he helped advise to, and the city that he mapped out.

One could say the person who put the most effort into this city was Zeref with Mu Ye coming close behind him.

Tang Wulin enjoyed it, the sun shining brilliantly on his skin. As the people of the city, soul beasts, and humans moved around.

For a city that was almost invaded a month ago, it sure was lively and cheerful.

It was then he noticed his friends or more specifically his male ones that were sitting down on an open bench.

There was Xie Xie, Xu Lizhi, and Yue Zhengyu.

All three of them were drinking with a smile on their face.

His eyes slightly softened before moving towards them while he stopped hiding his presence causing Xie Xie to notice him.

”Wulin! Come over here and join us!”

Xie Xie made sure not to yell this out loud, as he telepathically sent this to Wulin as to not attract any attention.

As Tang Wulin sat down before taking the drink that Xie Xie passed him, they all began to talk.

Their talk was senseless, nothing really specific at all.

Since that wasn't the point, they just wanted to be around each other and enjoy their time together.

Since it has been a long time since all four of them had done this before without the girls.

”Ha, I don't think any of us would imagine our situation would be like this back when we just started our journey as a soul master.”

Just the fact he was able to become the leader of the Tang Sect is still a surprise to Xie Xie. But Cao Dezhi said he fulfilled the requirements and was the best one for the job with Zhan Xin agreeing.

It was because of this that he was able to improve his family status back at home. Well other than being a renowned war hero and one of the Spriggans of Alvarez.

But if that wasn't enough, he and his other friends were going to be able to become gods.

Xie Xie will be able to become a True God at the age of 19, wasn't this breaking a record? It was said that Huo Yuhao and Tang San were able to ascend to Godhood around age 25-26.

Yet Xie Xie and the others were going to beat them by at least six years.

”Except maybe Wulin.”

Leading a row of laughter from Xu Lizhi and Yue Zhengyu with Tang Wulin shaking his head with a small smile.

”Not even I would have thought my life would be like this when I first became a soul master... In all honesty, I expected my situation to be completely different.”

If one asked his younger self about the future, they would have obtained an interesting answer.

One that would be different from what one would expect from someone of Tang Wulin talent.

”Hmm, so how did you imagine your situation?” Xu Lizhi questioned, feeling a bit curious.

”Alone.”

Tang Wulin spoke simply, yet it was enough to make the other three fall silent. Which he didn't mind, since he knew that would be their reaction anyway.

Regardless, Tang Wulin back then would have laughed at the notion of being surrounded by friends and people.

Even having his parents around him was about as much as he could have allowed back then. As back then, he didn't really believe anyone would want to stay around him nor did he want anyone to.

He had gotten so used to being alone for so long, that he expected himself to be alone even in this life.

Not because of his circumstances but from the way he acted. It would be a lie to say he didn't deserve to be alone from the way he acted back then.

He was an asshole and cold, although technically he still was. Just not as much as he was back then when he didn't care for anyone but his parents.

And Yet...

”Good thing that future never came to be! Haha, man you must have been annoyed by us sticking close to you.”

Xie Xie wrapped an arm around Tang Wulin while he laughed.

Yue Zhengyu and Xu Lizhi also joined in causing everyone to have an arm around each other except him.

Tang Wulin thought back, how he disregarded them back in their younger days.

Yet these idiots stuck by him and kept on knocking at the wall that was his ice-cold kingdom. Even after so many years of him being cold, they still kept on knocking until he finally accepted them.

Something he was honestly grateful for.
