In Chen Nan's Storage Ring, there was a good amount of alcohol stored.

Moreover, it was all high-proof liquor brought from the Mortal World. These people of the Tao Realm had never tasted such a thing before meeting Chen Nan.

This time, everyone drank quite a bit. Due to not using Inner Strength to dissolve the alcohol's effect, everyone was a bit tipsy. The most affected were Yu Wenqingxue and Tao Zui, who ended up knocked out.

Yu Wenqingxue wasn't a good drinker to begin with and couldn't handle much.

As for Tao Zui, this guy loved alcohol as much as life itself and could drink a lot, but even the best drinker can be overwhelmed by quantity.

Due to his foul mood, he drank more than everyone else combined, and without using Inner Strength to resist it, it was hard not to get drunk.

At this time, Chen Nan channeled his Mysterious Skill to refine the alcohol's effect, clasped his fists to Tao Muxue and Yun Chen, and said, "Miss Muxue, Yun Chen, the green mountains remain, the rivers flow on, we shall meet again."

The two young ladies furrowed their brows slightly and asked, "You're leaving already?"

"Yes, I have to go."

Chen Nan sighed and said, "If I had the time, I would love to stay and drink and chat with everyone, but unfortunately, my wife is waiting for me to go back and save her life. If I'm late, I'm afraid she won't make it."

Yun Chen nodded, "In that case, I won't keep you. Take care."

"Alright, until we meet again."

Chen Nan waved his hand, prepared to lead his silly brother and the Black Feathered Chicken into the Purple Bamboo Forest, but at this moment—

"Hey, what about the other person? Aren't you taking her?"

Yun Chen pointed at the already passed-out Yu Wenqingxue and shouted to Chen Nan.

Chen turned back, remained silent for a moment, then shook his head: "Following me wouldn't do her any good, could you do me a favor and take care of her when necessary?"

Yun Chen rolled her eyes at him, teasingly said, "What, you can't clear your romantic debts, so you're leaving her behind?"

Chen Nan smiled bitterly, "I just see her as a friend. There are things I can't say directly to her, and since she's drunk now, it must be fate; it's better not to wake her."

"But leaving her like this, she'll be heartbroken when she wakes up," Yun Chen said.

Chen Nan shook his head and said, "If she followed me to the Martial World, I can't give her what she wants. She'll be even more heartbroken then."

What Chen Nan said was true. The kind of relationship Yu Wenqingxue wanted, perhaps the old him would have impulsively agreed, but the current him couldn't give it to her.

Loving someone means being responsible for her.

Chen Nan felt that the old him was too immature emotionally, leading to situations that were hard to resolve later. Fortunately, his junior sister was magnanimous, preventing irreparable consequences.

Putting himself in his wives' shoes, he realized they all had it tough.

If he continued to indulge himself, acting thoughtlessly toward their feelings, even the most tolerant woman would eventually be driven mad.

After all, no one is naturally masochistic, nor willing to share their lover with others. The fact that his wives could tolerate it this far was based entirely on their patience. If he continued messing around, this situation would inevitably be broken one day.

By then, it would be utter chaos, with disastrous consequences.

A person's thoughts can mature, and so will their attitudes towards relationships.

Actually, no one is born a flirt; it's just that when being a flirt, they didn't understand the responsibility of love. Had Chen Nan grasped these truths from the beginning, he wouldn't have gotten involved with so many women.

During this journey in the Tao Realm, Chen Nan constantly restrained his heart.

Despite Yu Wenqingxue's deep feelings for him, he consistently held onto his heart, never forgetting he already had a wife.

Turning to wave at Yun Chen and Tao Muxue, Chen Nan headed with his silly brother and the Black Feathered Chicken into the Purple Bamboo Forest.

The Black Feathered Chicken shook its head, clucking, "Kid, in this life, you should make it your mission to seduce all the beauties in the world. Now you let one slip by; how shameless that is."

"A beast like you talking life philosophy with me, screw you." Chen Nan slapped it away.

The Black Feathered Chicken squawked a few times, continuing to disdain Chen Nan.

Chen Nan couldn't be bothered with this annoying creature, so he urged his silly brother to swing the Big Hammer at it. The sound of iron striking rang out, and the wicked chicken cursed loudly before surrendering and keeping quiet.

"Is this not asking for trouble? What's the point!"

Chen Nan shook his head and sighed, while the Black Feathered Chicken was about to squawk in anger, but as soon as it saw Shi Fanzhen raise the Big Hammer, it shrunk its neck and shut up in fear.

This Purple Bamboo Forest from the outside seemed endless, with no visible end in sight.

And as they walked inside, the area was even more vast. Chen Nan walked hundreds of miles without seeing a single soul.

Helplessly, he had to stop and shouted, "Senior sister, where are you?"

"Just ten more miles ahead," a woman's ethereal voice echoed through the forest, with no visible source.

Seeing that his senior sister could hear him, Chen Nan laughed and said, "I've heard you have an iron rule; no one is allowed within a thousand miles of the Purple Bamboo Forest, or you'll kill them on sight. You're not going to destroy me too, are you?"

Chen Nan waited for over ten seconds, but there was no reply. Clearly, Yafeng was ignoring him.

Chen Nan scratched his head, thinking that this senior sister was quite aloof, and asked again, "Senior sister? Did you hear me?"

Still no response.

Unwilling to give up, Chen Nan kept calling out.

"Senior sister?"

"Senior sister?"

"Senior sister, are your ears okay?"

Yafeng could no longer bear it, and in a very cold tone said, "If you don't shut up, I'll cut out your tongue."

Although he hadn't met her in person, Chen Nan could tell this senior sister was indeed quite cold.

Chen Nan scratched his head again and asked, "Senior sister, Master said you can't leave the Purple Bamboo Forest, but why does everyone in the Tao Realm fear you so much?"

"No idea."

Yafeng knew that if she ignored him, this guy would probably keep asking.

Since he was bored, Chen Nan said, "Then why don't you allow others into the Purple Bamboo Forest?"

"Why do you have so many questions!"

An extremely cold voice came, followed by a flash of light in front of him. Chen Nan saw a purple figure appear in front of him. She had her back to him and said lightly, "I'm naturally quiet and dislike being disturbed, so you'd better shut up."

Chen Nan scratched his head, "Haven't you felt lonely living here alone in the Purple Bamboo Forest for thousands of years?"

Yafeng suddenly turned around. Hers was a face like hard ice, cold yet beautiful, and very fair. She glared at Chen Nan, then, without saying a word, cast a light screen covering Chen Nan and his companions. The next moment, she appeared ten miles away.
