Chapter 1662 Let's calculate the time, isn't it about time?
Upon exiting the realm of souls, Ye Nanxiao's consciousness instantly returned to reality.
He opened his eyes, and a ray of sunlight pierced through the shadows of the Sal tree, dancing on his forehead like a mischievous little elf.
"The sun is shining brightly!"
He sat up, brushed the fallen leaves off his body, and stood up.
The sunlight shone on him, making him feel warm all over.
"The sun will always shine brightly."
Ye Nanxiao stretched and let out a long breath.
He glanced at the sun, then put his hands behind his head, humming a little tune, and walked towards home.
He looked as if he had finally unloaded a heavy burden from his heart.
As Ye Nanxiao passed through the Soul Guidance Department, he nodded and greeted everyone he met.
"Hey Nanxiao, what happened today that makes you so happy?"
Qian Duoduo had just finished an experiment and came out for some fresh air. With a cigarette in his mouth, he saw Ye Nanxiao humming a tune and walking with a swagger. It was hard not to guess that this kid must have something good going on.
"Hey, Lao Qian, is the experiment over? Send me a few sets of battle armor as souvenirs later."
Ye Nanxiao greeted him but didn't linger. He simply tossed a pack of cigarettes to Qian Duoduo.
Qian Duoduo reached out and took it, glancing at it. It was a pack of specially made handmade cigarettes, the kind he had never been able to get from Ye Nanxiao, no matter how many times he had tried.
"What good thing happened to this kid that made him willing to give me this pack of cigarettes?"
Qian Duoduo glanced at Ye Nanxiao's departing figure, took out a cigarette and tucked it behind her ear, planning to have another one later.
A short while later, just as Qian Duoduo lit his second cigarette and squatted there puffing away, he saw Yan Shaozhe.
The old man also saw Qian Duoduo, then turned and walked towards him, reaching out to snatch the cigarette from his mouth.
Hey! You old geezer!
"Don't you think Nanxiao is very happy today?"
Yan Shaozhe exhaled a puff of white mist and said.
Qian Duoduo was slightly taken aback, then took out another cigarette, put it in his mouth, but didn't light it.
"When is he ever unhappy?"
"Today is quite special, it's like I've finally been able to unload a heavy burden."
"Of course! They dumped all the R&D projects on me. I just sit there all day doing nothing, clocking in and leaving!"
Qian Duoduo laughed and scolded, but suddenly noticed that Yan Shaozhe looked worried and sad.
This is quite rare. Qian Duoduo and Yan Shaozhe have been fighting for so many years, they know each other very well.
In fact, he knew Yan Shaozhe, that old scoundrel, even better than Cai Meier did.
"What do you mean? Speak your mind, you old sly fox!"
Yan Shaozhe took a deep drag, letting the smoke fill his nostrils.
"Old Qian, let's calculate the time, isn't it about time?"
These words made the hot-tempered Qian Duoduo stop abruptly, frozen in place like a statue.
It seems that, without realizing it, a year has almost passed.
Qian Duoduo instinctively clutched his pants pocket tightly, covering the small cigarette box.
His jaw was clenched, as if he were gritting his teeth, and his eyes were wide open, as if he were processing the facts.
Ye Nanxiao had no idea that the pack of cigarettes he casually tossed away would have such a huge aftereffect.
He returned home and walked towards the small courtyard at the back.
In the small pavilion by the pond, Gu Yue sat on a stone bench, holding some fish food in her hand.
She didn't move, just let the fish food slip through her fingers, attracting the big, fat carp to occasionally flick their tails and swim over using the momentum to open their mouths and eat the fish food.
Jiang Nannan sat opposite her, holding a pot of flower tea, which seemed to have just been brewed.
Holding her sword, Ye Guyi sat cross-legged in the small bamboo grove in the corner of the courtyard, diligently cultivating. Hearing footsteps, the three women turned around at the same time.
Ye Nanxiao changed his shoes and came out.
Upon seeing that it was Ye Nanxiao, smiles appeared on the faces of the three women, and their eyes shone with gentle light.
"My boss, it's a success."
Seven words, very short, but to Gu Yue, they weighed a ton.
Gu Yue felt a sense of relief wash over her, her heart finally at ease. Her watery eyes reflected only Ye Nanxiao's image as she whispered, "I knew it, you could do it."
Jiang Nannan and Ye Guyi, who had just arrived, were all smiles as they congratulated Gu Yue, saying, "Today is a joyous occasion! The thing that Sister Gu Yue has been worried about has been perfectly resolved. We must have a big meal to celebrate tonight!"
The women held Gu Yue in the highest esteem, not only because Gu Yue led the soul beasts and humans in the final battle, but also because Gu Yue had taken in Ye Nanxiao, whose soul had been torn apart, in the course of history.
"Absolutely! We're having Ye's roast chicken tonight!"
Ye Nanxiao kissed each of the three women on the cheek, then took out an apron and tied it on.
A sumptuous family feast is the best way to celebrate.
The next day, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly.
Master Ye was walking with some support from the wall.
Laughter echoed from the living room, prompting the head of the Ye family, who had reached the door, to straighten his back and walk in with his head held high.
"Hey Nanxiao, you've been working out your chest lately?" Xu Sanshi's usual cheeky voice rang out.
Bei Bei, He Caitou, and Huo Yuhao all saw through the emptiness beneath Ye Nanxiao's proud and upright posture.
They just didn't laugh out loud.
"Hey! What are you saying! My pectoral muscles are exceptionally well-developed!"
He Caitou didn't say anything, but simply sat up straight.
Ye Nanxiao gritted his teeth at the sight of the "giant" physique honed through years of forging and training.
Why doesn't this damn thing become a martial god?
Ye Nanxiao ignored the group, walked to the refrigerator, took out a case of Coke, and tossed it over.
Beibei caught the cola, then opened it and shared it with everyone.
"By the way, why did you call everyone back in such a hurry? Is there something wrong?"
Ye Nanxiao walked over to the sofa and sat down, his usual casual smile on his face, as if he were just there for a casual chat.
"There is indeed something I need to tell you."
Everyone gathered around, their eyes fixed on him.
Ye Nanxiao raised his eyes and scanned the familiar faces.
These people were his brothers who had been with him since he was a nobody, partners who had shared life and death with him and were bound by a bond of life and death.
His tone remained relaxed, yet it concealed his deepest seriousness: "I inquired about an opportunity for you in the realm of gods."
"But that's all we can ask. Whether it succeeds or not depends on you."
The moment those words were spoken, the entire room fell silent.
Beibei's pupils contracted. "An opportunity from the divine realm?"
Beibei, who is usually gentle and easy-going, had a somewhat sharp voice at this moment.
"Yes." Ye Nanxiao nodded, his gaze gentle yet firm. "The Divine Realm Star Stele will open the inheritance trial for you. You are exceptionally talented and resilient, and you are destined to become gods."
"If it works out, we can continue our friendship in the realm of gods, watching the celestial phenomena change and the world undergo countless transformations."
Beibei and the others exchanged glances, then turned their gazes to the courtyard.
Xiao Xiao, Qian Qian, and Tang Ya were chatting with Jiang Nannan and the other girls in the courtyard area. (End of Chapter)
