Transcending the Nine Heavens

"Time for a shower!" Ao Xieyun, feeling exuberant at home surrounded by familiar faces, shouted as he covered himself and dashed away.

"Wait for me..." The others quickly followed suit, some covering their faces, others covering their behinds. In the blink of an eye, they vanished, leaving behind a shout: "Boss, don’t run! We’ll settle the score with you when we get back!"

Chu Yang touched his nose, a comforting smile on his face, but he scolded, "What a lack of respect! As younger brothers, they dare to settle scores with the boss."

Laughter erupted around him.

...

After a while, in the hall!

With a commotion, everyone looked in anticipation.

Six young men, their hair still damp, wearing brand new clothes, swaggered into the hall.

Immediately, there was a chorus of gasps, and the hall was thrown into chaos.

The women’s brigade sprang into action simultaneously—some were crying, some were shouting, some were ecstatic to the point of tears, others silently shed tears, and some gazed at each other with longing...

In an instant, Ao Xieyun, Xie Danqiong, Mo Tianji, Gu Duxing, and Ji Mo were swept into the embrace of beautiful women.

Chu Yang watched with a smile from the side; this was their moment.

A year’s worth of longing needed to be released at this moment.

Among the brothers, only Rocky Luo remained unaffected by romantic entanglements. He walked over to Chu Yang's side, scoffing, "Disgusting! Truly disgusting! Heroes are no match for beauty; look at these guys, all cuddled up. It’s downright shameless!"

Chu Yang snorted and was about to speak when he suddenly saw Rocky Luo clutching his stomach and bursting into laughter.

Upon seeing this, Chu Yang couldn't help but spray some tea out of his mouth.

He watched as Hu Yan Ao Bo, with a mighty stride, approached Ji Mo, delivering a punch and scolding, "Ji Mo! You little thief! You truly want to die!"

With another kick, Ji Mo was knocked to the ground in a tangle. Then he was yanked up again, suspended in mid-air, giggling, "Ao Bo... my dear... I missed you so much..."

Hu Yan Ao Bo's eyes turned red, nearly in tears, yet she scolded, "I don’t miss you!" while pulling Ji Mo into her arms.

Ji Mo, like a little bird nestling, was held tightly by Hu Yan Ao Bo. She was clearly very happy, yelling, jumping, and cursing. But each jump she took, Ji Mo was lifted along...

The scene resembled a large mother carrying her not-yet-adult child...

Chu Yang found it amusing. Rocky Luo laughed so hard he almost fell over, clutching his stomach, crying out in pain.

Once the excitement subsided, everyone began to whisper conspiratorially.

The crowd understood and started to disperse.

Meanwhile, Gu Duxing and the others, either intentionally or unintentionally, were led by the servants to take their loved ones into various prepared temporary lodgings.

At that moment, silence spoke louder than words...

In the once bustling hall, only two figures remained.

Chu Yang and Rocky Luo.

"Boss, they all left. What do we do now?" Rocky Luo asked, a hint of envy in his voice. "Ah, if I had known, I would have found one too... Back in the day, so many beautiful girls pursued me, but I never looked at a single one..."

Chu Yang’s eyes twinkled: "You have a very important task!"

Rocky Luo's eyes lit up: "What task?"

Chu Yang led him to the door of a small room, first listening at the door, then pointing and saying, "Little Wolf, inside here is a gift I’ve prepared for you for a long time... As soon as you push open the door, you’ll get it. Just remember, this is for you alone, and don’t let anyone else see it... Otherwise, they’ll say I’m being unfair."

Rocky Luo nodded repeatedly, his excited face flushed: "Don’t worry, Boss! I won’t tell a soul!"

Chu Yang nodded, whispering mysteriously, "Go ahead and open the door. Brother, you’re about to receive a surprise like you’ve never had before!"

Rocky Luo immediately got excited, his eyes gleaming like a wolf's.

Who is the boss? Hmm! This is the Nine Calamity Sword Master! A gift from him could not be anything less than extraordinary!
