"So, big brother, it's tonight at eight o'clock, right?" Ye Chen asked Na Zhiji with a face full of enthusiasm, even changing his address to "big brother," as if he had already become the Dragon King's son-in-law.

"Yes, at eight o'clock I'll come here to pick you up!" Na Zhiji nodded eagerly. As long as he could fool Ye Chen into going, he was willing to act not only as his big brother but even as Ye Chen's "second uncle," if need be.

"Big brother, don't worry, I'll definitely take responsibility for your sister!" Ye Chen said seriously.

"Good, wait for me to come and pick you up!" Na Zhiji replied, nodding.

"Big brother, don't hurry off, come in and sit for a bit, have some water before you leave!" Ye Chen warmly insisted.

"..."

Inside, Na Zhiji was so annoyed, he almost cursed out loud.

Ye Chen's warm invitation was completely insincere. He had been chatting here for over an hour, his mouth dry from talking, and this kid hadn't even opened the front gate. Na Zhiji had been kept waiting outside the iron gate the entire time. If Ye Chen invited him for tea, how was he supposed to get there, fly over? Even if he really could fly over, with the door firmly shut, you'd have to have a thick face to force yourself in for tea.

In the end, Na Zhiji left as if fleeing. In the aspect of fooling around, Ye Chen utterly outperformed him by miles; he dared not continue the charade with Ye Chen any longer.

"Ye Chen, who came to visit, and why were you gone for so long?" Once Ye Chen returned to the villa, he saw the goddesses gathered together, some watching TV, some reading magazines, and a few chatting and eating sunflower seeds, all looking like the wives of landlords.

"It was Na Zhiji; he came to propose a marriage for me. He says his foster sister admires me and wants to marry me!" Ye Chen explained.

"Ye Chen, can you be any more shameless?" Su Binglan asked weakly.

"Yes!" Ye Chen replied honestly. "Na Wudao's daughter really fancies me. They want me to marry her without even asking for a bridal price. I've already discussed it with Na Zhiji!"

"..."

Su Binglan gave Ye Chen a helpless look. This narcissistic egomaniac—how could a fine girl end up with him? That would be like throwing her into a pit of fire.

"Ye Chen, did Na Zhiji come to invite you to the Dragon King's Banquet?" Yun Xianghan suddenly asked.

"How did you know?" Ye Chen asked in surprise.

"This Dragon King's Banquet is no small affair; only the strongest in the world are invited. If Na Wudao is treating you like this, it seems he wants to host a banquet to thank you!" Yun Xianghan explained.

"Yeah, that's why I said he wants to marry his foster daughter to me." Ye Chen said.

"Jerk, can't you speak properly!" Yun Xianghan scolded, angered.

"..." Ye Chen's expression tightened, looking very much whipped.

"Lin Ying and I are leaving," Yun Xianghan said abruptly.

"Why are you leaving?" Ye Chen's demeanor returned to normal, and he frowned slightly.

Lin Ying had told him yesterday that she wanted to stay by Yun Zheyue's side. Now even Yun Xianghan was leaving, which Ye Chen found hard to accept. His woman, why should she look after someone else?

"Yun Zheyue has fallen from grace because of you, surely shattering her mental state. Her current situation is definitely precarious, and I must guard her against any unforeseen events!" Yun Xianghan sighed.

Yun Zheyue had given her a new life, and now that Yun Zheyue was facing a great calamity, Yun Xianghan naturally felt compelled to protect her. This was the sisterly bond between them and also a way of repaying her kindness.

However, Yun Xianghan felt conflicted because the person who had caused Yun Zheyue's downfall was Ye Chen; whom should she side with?

"Lin Ying is leaving with you?" Ye Chen asked.

"Yes, I must protect my sister, and she must take care of her master," Yun Xianghan affirmed, nodding.

"Yun Zheyue cultivated the Taishang Wuqing to suppress her emotions, did you know about that?" Ye Chen suddenly asked.

"How did you come to know about this?" Yun Xianghan's expression changed.

Taishang Wuqing was Yun Zheyue's greatest secret, and Yun Xianghan had discovered it accidentally, but she had always pretended to be completely unaware.

"When I came to the South Sea, Yun Zheyue accompanied me along the way. Many things happened during our journey, and her Invincible State of Mind was cracked by me, but she suppressed it with Taishang Wuqing," Ye Chen said. "This time, after I defeated her, her Invincible State of Mind must have been shattered. Without a doubt, she will once again cultivate Taishang Wuqing to suppress all her emotions and restore the Invincible State of Mind."

"But once she starts cultivating Taishang Wuqing again, she will lose all her emotions!"

"By then, she will be extremely ruthless, and your place in her heart might completely crumble!" Ye Chen spoke with a solemn expression, revealing the cruel truth without any reservation.

"What exactly happened between you and Yun Zheyue? How could you know all this?" Yun Xianghan could hardly believe it, for Ye Chen seemed to have an even deeper understanding of the matter than she did.

"Yun Zheyue and I were in love, but in the end, she used Taishang Wuqing to suppress it, so we broke up," Ye Chen said.

"You were in love with Yun Zheyue?" Yun Xianghan was stunned.

"Ye Chen, you were in love with my master?" Lin Ying was also shocked.

How could Yun Zheyue, an invincible immortal of such stature, have carnal desires? This guy Ye Chen was too good at twisting the truth.

"Yes, we were in love. She was captivated by my carefree charm and was incredibly infatuated with me!" Ye Chen bragged shamelessly, blustering on the spur of the moment.

"I've had enough!" Yun Xianghan couldn't stand it any longer; this guy was too good at boasting.

"Hey, I'm telling the truth!" Ye Chen glared back. "If you don't believe me, ask Tong Xingtong. We're in love too!"

Tong Xingtong was eating sunflower seeds and watching TV, chatting with Liu Shihua intermittently, but all the while she was secretly eavesdropping on Ye Chen's conversation.

When she suddenly heard Ye Chen mentioning their affair, Tong Xingtong's hand trembled with fright, nearly scattering the seeds everywhere.

"Can you stop boasting?" Yun Xianghan was too tired to retort anymore.

"Ye Chen, there's some trouble at the company and I need to head back to take charge; I have to go back to the capital city!" Just then, Su Binglan approached Ye Chen to announce her departure, looking very anxious.

"What's wrong?" Ye Chen asked in surprise, having seen Su Binglan on the phone earlier. Why did she need to leave right after the call?

"Someone used the Wanshi Medicine name to produce counterfeit drugs, and these fake drugs were caught by the Drug Regulatory Authority. Wanshi Medicine cannot get out of this unassociated, so I need to head back and take control of the situation!" Su Binglan said with a serious demeanor, as this clearly seemed to be a targeted move against Wanshi Medicine.

However, Su Binglan didn't tell Ye Chen about this, believing she could handle the situation on her own.

"You're leaving now?" Ye Chen said.

"Yes, Wen Rou booked a plane ticket for one hour from now!" Su Binglan nodded. "I need to hurry to catch the flight, so I must leave now!"

"Okay," Ye Chen nodded. "After the Dragon King Banquet, I will come find you!"

"I'll be waiting for you at home!"

In the end, Su Binglan left with Wen Rou. Chu Yanran was also busy with her own matters, so she took Tong Xingtong with her, leaving together with Su Binglan.

Yet, Ye Chen was surrounded by many goddesses; even after four left, he still had a handful.

Liu Shihua, Li Yan, and Yan Ruyu, these three goddesses from the entertainment industry, were currently on a break and wanted to enjoy a few days in the South Sea. They planned to leave with Ye Chen afterwards.

As for Yun Xianghan and Lin Ying, they were going to attend the Dragon King Banquet with Ye Chen, as Yun Zheyue might make an appearance there. After finding Yun Zheyue, they would leave Ye Chen's side as well.
