Nian Shutong began to set up formations, choosing locations, with one on the Blue Star and another in the Imperial Palace, while the rest were scattered throughout the interstellar regions.
Nian Shutong, taking the Zodiac Beasts except for Boss Long, started to traverse the interstellar expanses.
Each chosen location was arranged with nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Crystal Stones. After all eleven Zodiac Beasts had been properly arranged, three months had already passed.
Nian Shutong finally returned to Blue Star, where many people had gathered, as they planned to have a al together today.
After this gathering, Nian Shutong was set to depart.
In the evening, Master Fan prepared a table full of delicious food. After serving it all, Master Fan, for the first ti, didn’t return to the kitchen and instead sat down beside the table.
"Boss, there’s sothing I want to discuss with you."
Master Fan raised his glass towards Nian Shutong, and everyone watched Master Fan, waiting for him to speak.
"Master Fan, please go ahead."
"Ah."
Master Fan was a bit nervous but still spoke, "Boss, I brought three apprentices out, and I’ve passed on most of my skills to them, which they’re doing quite well."
"I wanted to say, I wish to go along with the Boss, otherwise there won’t be anyone to cook for you."
After saying that, Master Fan nervously watched Nian Shutong, feeling a bit reckless. That so-called Upper Realm was dangerous, and it might not be good for him to go, but he wanted to try.
"Really?" Nian Shutong laughed after speaking, and happily said, "That’s great, I would’ve felt quite lost if you were left behind."
Nian Shutong’s affirmation turned Master Fan’s nervousness into joy and excitent, and he finished the wine in his cup in one gulp.
"Boss, please enjoy, I’ll go pack up!"
Master Fan left, as he was going to depart with the Boss, and he needed to prepare thoroughly!
Nian Shutong didn’t stop him; having Master Fan along was quite good. She wasn’t sure what the Upper Realm was like, but she’d definitely need als.
Master Fan’s start was smooth, and the others were slightly restless.
Lian Qing stood up, holding a glass.
"Master, although my cultivation isn’t much, my mind is quite sharp, and I wish to be by your side to run errands for you."
Nian Shutong had to admit that Lian Qing spoke appropriately, as she indeed needed soone like that.
"Alright, you co along too."
Lian Qing happily sat down, and then Lin Mu stood up.
"I’ll go."
"Alright."
One spoke daringly, and the other agreed even more straightforwardly. Nian Shutong, not only straightforward herself, joked as she glanced at Lin Mu and said, "Can’t have you two separated."
Indeed, Lian Qing and Lin Mu were a couple now; one day during these three months, they held a small wedding ceremony and officially beca husband and wife.
Lin Mu nodded towards Nian Shutong, giving a look of acknowledgnt.
After Lin Mu sat down, Nian Shutong looked at the remaining people and asked, "Anyone else coming?"
"Ha Ha is sure to follow the good folks."
"Rubble only follows Ms. Nian Shutong."
Ha Ha and Rubble spoke up, these two, even if they didn’t, Nian Shutong would want to bring them along.
"Don’t worry, I planned to take both of you."
Nian Shutong felt that if she didn’t bring them, the much strengthened Ha Ha and the unpredictable Rubble would pose greater danger on Blue Star.
Her answer pleased both Ha Ha and Rubble.
Finally, Hua Rong and Ji Sisi stood up together, but after glancing at each other, Ji Sisi spoke first.
"Mr. Nian, I’m not going. Although I want to, I wish to stay with Dou Dou, and we’ll go together when he’s older."
Nian Shutong nodded, saying, "Very well, I’m more at ease with you staying."
She then turned to Hua Rong, who imdiately spoke, "Master, I’d like to follow you, but my abilities aren’t as good as Master Fan’s; using poison is rather elentary for you, so I won’t go, I’ll stay and watch over the ho."
Nian Shutong nodded again and said to Hua Rong, "Your abilities are indeed a bit low, but no need to hurry, you started late yet have a good talent. I’ll leave cultivation resources for you, and if there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask Uncle Long."
"Hua Rong understands and will rember your words."
Hua Rong and Ji Sisi were tentatively staying.
Nian Shutong thought there was no one else, but a shadow-like figure drifted over.
"Mr. Nian, can I follow you? My abilities aren’t strong, but I’d like to co along, just hide sowhere and I won’t be a burden."
Yu Zeming appeared.
"I have no issues with it, but you should check with your father."
Nian Shutong had no problems with Yu Zeming following; as he said, he could hide and wouldn’t interfere.
"Mr. Nian, rest assured, I’ve already spoken with my father."
In conclusion, those decided to leave with Nian Shutong were Master Fan, Lian Qing and Lin Mu, Ha Ha and Rubble, along with the soul body of Yu Zeming.
Seven people, settled, they all raised their glasses and celebrated.
Nian Shutong stood up, raising her glass towards the familiar faces below and said, "Live well, until I return."
"Until the Boss returns."
"Until the Boss returns."
Everyone raised their glasses.
The dinner was filled with laughter and chatter, everyone ate almost to their fill, and Aunt i and Hua Yuan stood up together.
"The two of us, on our way here, have registered our marriage. Though we didn’t hold a wedding, we’re now legally husband and wife."
Hua Yuan held Aunt i’s hand and said, "Nian Zii is Hua Yuan’s wife, Hua Yuan is Nian Zii’s husband."
Nian Shutong was the first to stand up, congratulating them, "Congratulations, congrats to my aunt and uncle."
"Right, right, I’m the uncle now."
Hua Yuan joyfully behaved like a child, while Aunt i seed like a doting elder, smilingly watching Hua Yuan regardless of what he said.
Others raised their glasses in unison, congratulating this couple for finally coming together, and another round of drinks followed.
After several rounds of drinks, Nian Shutong went alone to Uncle Long’s side.
Uncle Long held the Treasure Bead in his arms, which was asleep.
"It’s about to begin."
"No rush. Moreover, life on Blue Star is the sa as before."
"How is it the sa? You’re all leaving."
Uncle Long, with so sentint, said, "In the past, I found you all too noisy, like children, but now that so many of you are leaving, I’m feeling reluctant."
"Humans are the most changeable."
Nian Shutong sat beside Uncle Long and said, "Soone told that change in people is good, and we must learn to accept ourselves."
"Hehe... You’re right, you’re right."
Uncle Long carried the Treasure Bead to Zhao Dii and Ma Lei’s courtyard. Ma Lei took the child inside, while Zhao Dii stood at the door watching Nian Shutong.
"Sis, I’ve cultivated thirty-seven kinds of seeds, all of which can successfully produce the next generation. We’re almost there with others, don’t worry about the seed issue, we can be self-sufficient."
