Chapter 799: Chapter 773: The Gathering of Ten Thousand Immortals
Men do not make promises lightly, but once they do, they will use their lives to fulfill them.
Tangyu is even less likely to make promises lightly, as this is his promise to Xinyue. A woman who is willing to give so much for him moves him greatly, and he feels he should make such a promise to at least give her soul a place to belong, something to look forward to.
Since he likes her, there is no need to avoid it. If Xinyue is willing to let go of these feelings, then Tangyu naturally does not want to hurt her, but if she insists, he is willing to give her this promise.
Tangyu does not know how long his journey will be, nor when he will be able to eradicate that secret force. As long as that secret force exists, Tangyu can’t settle down in peace.
In such circumstances, he doesn’t want to accept any women, afraid of getting them involved, afraid he won’t be able to take care of them.
Tangyu said, "Xinyue, where are your clothes? I’ll fetch them so you can get dressed."
Xinyue nodded and said, "Okay, they’re in the bathroom."
Despite the darkness hindering his vision, it didn’t affect Tangyu’s ability to recognize objects at all. With his current strength, even in pitch-black darkness, he could move freely. From the faint glimmer of light filtering through from outside, he could already make out the room’s layout, naturally allowing him to see Xinyue’s graceful figure as well.
He quickly got the clothes from the bathroom and helped Xinyue get dressed.
In the darkness, Xinyue was fumbling for a while before she slowly dressed in Tangyu’s presence. Watching this, Tangyu felt incredibly uncomfortable, the urge to comfort her intensely rousing.
Once clothed, Xinyue grabbed Tangyu’s hand, her voice full of pleading, "Tangyu—can you not leave? Stay with me tonight, here."
Tangyu curled his lip and said, "Cough, it seems this is my room now, so if anyone should leave, it should be you."
Xinyue’s face turned red as she said, "Then I’ll just be too lazy to leave."
"If you’re really too lazy to leave, then there’s nothing I can do," Tangyu shrugged, the desire he had managed to suppress surging up again—this was life-threatening.
He was worried he wouldn’t be able to resist mounting his horse and wielding his spear. In such situations of mutual consent, he didn’t see the need to pretend anymore. Only—
Well, since he had made a promise to Xinyue, Tangyu also wanted to preserve the best of Xinyue for her. If he could come back one day to fulfill this promise, then would it not be the best to take her then? If he took her now and something unforeseen happened preventing him from fulfilling the promise, would that not cause greater harm to Xinyue?
So, Tangyu restrained himself.
Lying in bed, Xinyue hugged Tangyu tightly, "Let’s just hold each other like this and sleep, not doing anything else."
"Alright," Tangyu said, a bit bemused. How had he gotten into this situation again?
The room quieted down, the two of them holding each other without saying a word, yet filled with happiness.
After a while, Xinyue’s delicate voice suddenly said, "Tangyu, your thing is pressing against me, are you—you feeling very uncomfortable?"
"Cough, I’m alright, I’m alright."
"If you’re really uncomfortable—I can help you deal with it—"

The sleep was both blissful and torturous.
When Tangyu and Xinyue came downstairs the next day, four sets of eyes quickly turned to them. Tang Guo had a look of gleeful misfortune, and Liang Youshan had that lewd expression.
Feeling the stares, Xinyue’s face flushed with shyness as she lowered her head.
Liang Youshan even said cheekily, "Boss, you usually get up at the crack of dawn, but today the sun was shining on your ass before you rose. Heh heh, you must have had a tough night last night."
Xinyue turned even redder at his words.
Tangyu rolled his eyes at them and didn’t bother explaining; any explanation would be like trying to wash mud off in the Yellow River. Besides, an explanation would likely bring disdain rather than praise. After all, a man and a woman alone in a room overnight and still pure as the driven snow would certainly be a miracle.
Tangyu glared at Tang Guo and said, "It was your doing last night, wasn’t it?"
Tang Guo immediately put on an innocent face and said, "What do you mean? I don’t understand—how is this related to me? Don’t wrong me here."
"Wasn’t it you who used the excuse of occupying the bathroom yesterday to send Xinyue back to her room to take a shower? And then you pulled the circuit breaker, didn’t you? You think I don’t know about your little trick?" Tangyu said. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
With a pout and a look of pride, Tang Guo responded, "So what if you know? You should be grateful to me, right? Hey, what’s with that face? I played matchmaker, a deed of Boundless virtue! To think you’re not thanking me, but instead coming to question me like this, you’re so heartless!"
"Grateful my foot," Tangyu retorted, clearly annoyed.
"Humph, you ingrate! I help you and you still don’t thank me. I hate you," Tang Guo said, huffing with indignation.
Xinyue pulled at Tang Guo and glared at her, equally annoyed. Tang Guo was the one behind last night’s fiasco. Of course, Xinyue wasn’t angry; it was just that the situation last night had been too awkward. On the contrary, she was actually quite thankful to Tang Guo. If it hadn’t been for her meddling, Xinyue doubted she would have had the courage to be so open about her feelings.

"Breaking news: A massive explosion occurred around 10 p.m. last night on the outer ring road near Tyson Park, resulting in at least thirty deaths, including Jin Hong, the young master of Jin Corporation, and other members of the Flying Wheels Gang. The specific cause is presently unknown."
"Flames engulf Tyson Park amid suspected gang conflict, triggering a major explosion incident."
"Jin Corporation’s young master dies in a tragic street racing meetup—"
"Multiple Flying Wheels Gang members dead, three leaders missing, suspected of being the targets of revenge by other forces."
...
One explosive headline after another spread, immediately sending the entire Liucheng into an uproar, almost as if the sky had exploded.
Naturally, many citizens cheered and shouted with joy, praising the heavens for taking action.
The death of Jin Hong had enraged the Jin Family, demanding the truth be uncovered, which had kept the police in Liucheng extremely busy. However, investigations at the scene provided no clues whatsoever.
In an ancient European-style villa in the West District of Liucheng, within its luxurious hall, a bewitchingly handsome man sat regally. A young bikini-clad woman danced sensually around him, occasionally throwing herself at the man, pressing her voluptuous body against him.
The man held a wine glass, filled with a crimson liquid that at a distance resembled red wine but was actually blood, real blood.
Behind the enigmatic man stood two other men, and from the aura emanating from them, it was clear they were not to be underestimated. However, these two men regarded the bewitching man with the utmost respect.
"How’s the investigation going?" the enchanting man asked casually.
Immediately, one of the men came forward respectfully and reported, "Young Master Yi, we’ve thoroughly investigated the matter. It involves a person named Tangyu and his three followers, all Outer Sect Disciples from Myriad Saints Valley. This Tangyu is quite powerful; apparently, he had some fortuitous encounter. The other three are hardly worth mentioning. They were dispatched by Myriad Saints Valley to investigate this incident."
"Tangyu, an Outer Sect Disciple from Myriad Saints Valley, huh? Interesting. Just one day in town and he’s already thrown Liucheng into chaos; even one of my pieces has been taken off the board. Quite intriguing," said the bewitching young man with a demonic smile.
"It’s all because Jin Hong was incompetent, Young Master Yi. And Jin Hong had some old grudges with Tangyu, so as soon as Tangyu arrived, Jin Hong lost his composure. That’s why he fell into disarray so quickly. Young Master Yi, what should we do now? The Flying Wheels Gang is almost gone, and the leaders of the other factions have mysteriously disappeared; they’ve likely been captured by Tangyu’s gang. Without these people, Liucheng can hardly stir up any trouble," the man said.
With a cold smile, the bewitching man replied, "No rush—our primary mission isn’t in Liucheng anyway. The chaos here is just a sidenote. Our target is the upcoming Myriad Immortals Conference. It’s only a few days away, and you’ll need to prepare well in advance. When the time comes, I want to catch them all in one fell swoop. If this mission is completed successfully, there will be ample reward."
Both men showed a trace of excitement, promising to do their utmost.
"And what about Tangyu, Young Master Yi? Are we not managing that?" the man asked tentatively, "I’m just worried they might cause trouble at the Myriad Immortals Conference."
A sharp coldness flashed in the bewitching man’s eyes, and the man hurriedly bowed his head in fear, "Humph, mere Outer Sect Disciples from Myriad Saints Valley, do you think I would bother with them? If they want to go to the Myriad Immortals Conference, then that’s perfect. I’ll catch them all in one go and save myself the trouble."
"Of course, of course, Young Master Yi’s prowess is unparalleled; not just Outer Sect, even Inner Sect Disciples are no match for you," the man said, lavishing praise upon him.

Unaware of the storms brewing outside, Tangyu and the others inside the villa had little knowledge of, and even less interest in, these events.
Xinyue and Tang Guo went to prepare breakfast, while Tangyu and the three others sat in the living room watching television.
"Boss, with all this commotion and Jin Hong gone, the power behind him seems not to have reacted at all, not even showing a shadow. This Young Master Yi, what’s his background? We’ve stirred up the whole situation in Liucheng, and he can still keep such a cool head, not even coming to find us proactively," said Liang Youshan.
"Don’t worry, whoever needs to come will come eventually. If they don’t, it means their target isn’t Liucheng. Right now, I’m thinking that this Young Master Yi’s real target might not be Liucheng after all," Tangyu replied.
