Chapter 572 - 370: Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder
Wen Feiyan couldn’t help but ask:
"Why do they seem so afraid of you?"
She had already noticed that the fear of these fierce beasts all stemmed from Sunlight Qianyu, this seemingly harmless and extraordinarily beautiful girl.
Sunlight Qianyu’s gaze suddenly locked onto a small white fox, but she replied lightly:
"Perhaps it’s because I’m a demon too."
"What?!"
Wen Feiyan was shocked and instinctively glanced at Lin Lang for confirmation.
Lin Lang’s meaningful smile clearly implied agreement.
Wen Feiyan was still a bit incredulous:
"You... you’re a demon?"
She thought Lin Lang’s business was just expanded overseas.
Unexpected!
It had already expanded outside the circle, breaking the reproductive isolation!
Nonetheless.
As a "Beastmaster," Wen Feiyan should be very sensitive to fierce beasts!
But on Sunlight Qianyu’s body, she found not a hint of demon Qi!
To be precise!
There was no aura whatsoever!
This even made her think Sunlight Qianyu was an ordinary human!
Yet she considered that any woman around Lin Lang was certainly no simple character, likely another strong figure hiding their power!
That is to say, if Sunlight Qianyu was indeed a demon, then she should be a very powerful one!
But just how powerful?
That remains unknown.
However.
Since Sunlight Qianyu is a demon, Wen Feiyan’s relationship with her became somewhat subtle...
Especially since they were meeting at the Beast Taming Village headquarters at the moment.
Thinking in reverse—
If Wen Feiyan visited the territory of the Demon Race and found the prisons filled with humans, what would her reaction be?
Would she turn a blind eye?
...
As if guessing Wen Feiyan’s tangled thoughts, Sunlight Qianyu withdrew her gaze and calmly said:
"It’s okay, every race has its own survival methods, it’s nature’s law, I wouldn’t interfere without reason."
Actually, to say it accurately.
Sunlight Qianyu and these fierce beasts were no longer of the same species.
She is now a genuine god!
...
Upon hearing her words, Wen Feiyan felt a slight relief in her heart.
Thinking Sunlight Qianyu might also be showing respect to Lin Lang?
Thus she naturally changed the topic.
Chatting casually as they walked to the guest reception hall.
...
The village held a banquet for Lin Lang and Sunlight Qianyu, preparing a table full of delicious dishes!
The lifestyle here is somewhat primitive, the food is simple and plain!
All are hefty fish and meat, extremely satisfying!
Although cultivators like Lin Lang and Sunlight Qianyu don’t actually need to eat anymore.
Out of courtesy though.
They didn’t refuse and sat at the table.
Sunlight Qianyu evidently had little appetite, sampling a few plates before her, eating at a steady pace.
Lin Lang, on the other hand—
Sipping big bowls of wine! Eating chunks of meat!
For the successive toasts from the villagers, he didn’t decline, raising his cup and draining it in one go!
After all, when in Rome, do as the Romans do!
Seeing Lin Lang’s enthusiasm, the villagers’ spirits were thoroughly roused; no matter the gender, their toasts were filled with a jolly determination not to leave until intoxicated!
Lin Lang just continued drinking.
Yet Wen Feiyan watched, feeling a bit concerned.
Occasionally signaling to those toasting to take it easy.
...
By the time the banquet ended, it was already nighttime.
The table was filled with toppled bodies, with few remaining upright!
Wen Feiyan noticed—
Lin Lang remained poised with a calm expression.
As if those dozens of empty wine jars at his feet were originally filled with water!
No!
Even if they were indeed water, drinking that much should have burst someone!
But Lin Lang showed no abnormality; his stomach seemed like a bottomless pit.
"Brother Lin... have another... cup..."
Someone, bleary-eyed, struggled to stand from their seat, shakily raised half a bowl of wine towards Lin Lang.
Only to topple over again, spilling the wine over their own head.
Lin Lang chuckled:
"Brothers, drink well."
Then he drained his own cup again.
Wen Feiyan quickly said:
"Alright, stop drinking, you’ve knocked them all out, that’s impressive enough!"
Lin Lang smiled:
"It seems everyone is happy today, couldn’t dampen their spirits!"
Wen Feiyan rolled her eyes:
"The custom here is to ensure guests drink heartily! You keep drinking bowl after bowl, they’d have to risk it all to keep up with you!"
Lin Lang laughed heartily:
"Is that so!"
These people were indeed straightforward, each drank until passing out, yet none admitted defeat!
Lin Lang didn’t employ any superpower or cheat to avoid drinking.
He just drank honestly.
But his physical body is now too strong!
This ordinary wine had no effect on him.
Even wanting to get drunk, he couldn’t!
...
Watching from the side, Sunlight Qianyu perceived Lin Lang’s slight dissatisfaction, so she said:
"In our era, there was wine capable of intoxicating gods, but perhaps it’s lost now..."
Lin Lang replied:
"No worries, the wine doesn’t intoxicate, but people can feel drunk."
He stood up, his eyes falling on Wen Feiyan, and smiled:
"After drinking, it’s time to rest."
The first half concluded.
Time for the second half.
...
With those words, Sunlight Qianyu also stood.
Wen Feiyan said:
"Your rooms are ready, let me take you there!"
Then she called some who hadn’t been drinking, instructing them to escort the drunken ones to their rooms and care for them.
She herself guided Lin Lang and Sunlight Qianyu to the guest rooms.
...
Of course, there were two guest rooms.
After saying goodnight at the door.
Sunlight Qianyu closed her door.
Wen Feiyan followed Lin Lang into a room.
In the moonlight, she saw Lin Lang walk over to sit on the bed, indeed not showing any intoxication.
Wen Feiyan sighed with relief:
"Seems you really didn’t drink too much."
Lin Lang smiled:
"Even if I did, it wouldn’t affect main tasks."
He extended his arms, indicating for Wen Feiyan to come over.
Wen Feiyan snorted softly:
"Even if you couldn’t, I wouldn’t let you off tonight!"
Still she obediently went over, sitting in his arms.
As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder!
Having been apart from Lin Lang for so long, Wen Feiyan had long anticipated this reunion day.
The reason she frequently signaled those people to let Lin Lang drink less.
Was out of fear it would interfere with this important moment!
But!
The outcome proved she worried too much.
Lin Lang wasn’t delayed at all, instead seemed divinely assisted!
...
Amidst the chorus of snores.
Lin Lang’s room resonated with harmony throughout the night.
The next day.
Wen Feiyan slept until noon before getting up.
At this time Sunlight Qianyu and Lin Lang were strolling around the village.
Sunlight Qianyu asked:
"You must have many women, right?"
Lin Lang replied:
"Yes."
Sunlight Qianyu asked again:
"Do they all truly love you?"
