Seeing that the three had initially gotten to know each other, Meng Wenzhou and Jiang Xiaotang's hands were still clasped together in mid-air, not having let go.
Su Yang looked at the two of them and grinned, "I say, you two can let go of each other's hands now."
"Uh, sorry about that Xiaotang, excuse my manners," Meng Wenzhou immediately released Jiang Xiaotang's soft little hand and said.
Jiang Xiaotang's pretty face flushed slightly as she withdrew her hand and brushed her hair aside. "It's fine, Brother Meng."
At this moment, Zhuang Mengli, who was standing to the side, frowned and muttered, "Damn, 'It's fine, Brother Meng'..."
Hearing this, Su Yang pulled Zhuang Mengli over and whispered, "What are you doing? It looks like there's a spark between these two."
"Based on what I know about Xiaotang, if she's facing a man she dislikes or has no feelings for, she wouldn't act this gentle. You should be able to sense that, right?"
Su Yang nodded. "Yeah, when she's with me, she's very casual and carefree."
"Exactly, which means you're not her type, but Old Meng seems to be exactly her type."
"Haha, isn't that great? My bro is a very outstanding guy."
"Let them be."
Just then, someone knocked on the private room door again. Su Yang turned his head and called out, "Come in!"
Old Gao pushed the door open, only to see a Fatty jump inside.
"Brother Yang!! I'm here!" Liu Bo opened his arms, rushed up to Su Yang, and gave him a big hug.
"Ah man, I can't quite handle your weight, let go, let go."
"Hehe, it's been a long time, hasn't it? I missed you, bro!"
"Miss your sister. Cut the crap, come here and let me introduce you." Su Yang put his arm around Liu Bo and walked over to Zhuang Mengli and Jiang Xiaotang.
"You two beauties, this is another good brother of mine, Liu Bo, nicknamed Fatty."
Liu Bo looked at the two stunning beauties in front of him, his mouth slightly ajar. He scratched his head and chuckled foolishly, "Hehe, hello there, you two gorgeous beauties. I am my brother."
"What?"
"Oh, oh, I misspoke. I mean... ah, anyway, you can just call me Fatty."
Zhuang Mengli smiled. "Alright, Fatty, you are indeed a little chubby. You should lose some weight; you'll definitely be very handsome once you slim down!"
"Really? Hahaha, this is the first time I've heard a beauty say that to me. Alright! I'll start losing weight tomorrow! I want to become a handsome guy too!"
Hearing this, Su Yang and Meng Wenzhou exchanged a smile.
Liu Bo then turned and greeted Lu Yun as well, before looking back at Zhuang Mengli and Jiang Xiaotang. "Oh right, what are your names?"
"I'm Zhuang Mengli, just call me Mengli."
"Hello Brother Fatty, my name is Jiang Xiaotang. You can call me Xiaotang."
"Alright, alright. Wow, our team just gained two more top-tier players."
"What top-tier players?" Jiang Xiaotang asked, stunned.
Su Yang tugged at Liu Bo and said, "What are you talking about?"
"Yeah, what kind of nonsense is this? I don't understand a word of it," Meng Wenzhou chimed in.
"Uh..." Liu Bo turned to look at Jiang Xiaotang and smiled foolishly. "It's nothing, nothing. Sometimes I just blurt out things that even I don't understand. Hehe, please don't mind me."
"We won't, we won't."
"Let's not be so formal. Have a seat. Once everyone is here, we'll start eating."
"Right, after dinner we'll go sort out our visas. If we're fast, we can set off the day after tomorrow or the day after that," Meng Wenzhou added.
"Sounds good. By the way, do we have any activities planned for tonight?" Liu Bo looked at Su Yang and Meng Wenzhou and asked.
"Nothing planned for now. If you have any good suggestions, you can bring them up and we'll consider them."
"Got it, let me think about it first."
While waiting, with nothing else to do, everyone sat on the sofas and chatted.
Su Yang looked at Meng Wenzhou and asked, "Old Meng, do you have any plans for this trip to the island nation?"
"Plans?"
"Like an itinerary."
"Oh, no. We'll figure it out when we get there. This time, we're focusing on a spontaneous trip."
"Unlike our previous road trips where we rushed from place to place, this time we'll just relax and play whatever we want."
"Sounds good. Oh right, are we still doing that deserted island survival thing the three of us talked about before?" Liu Bo looked at Su Yang and Meng Wenzhou and asked.
"Well, I kind of want to do it, but it depends on what the ladies think."
"That works. We'll talk about it when the time comes. If everyone is interested, we'll go experience it."
"OK."
After everyone chatted for a few minutes, the private room door knocked again.
"Come in!" Su Yang called out.
Old Gao pushed the door open. This time, it wasn't just one person who entered, but five.
Pan Ning, Meng Qianyu, Su Qingci, Tang Ziyun, and Ren Lingxi—five great beauties—walked in together.
As soon as they entered, Su Yang noticed that Pan Ning looked a bit different.
He hadn't seen her for a few days, and she had dyed her hair burgundy. Today, she was dressed all in black—a black sleeveless crop top, paired with loose layered black jeans and black skate shoes. Her overall look was both innocent and alluring.
Meng Qianyu went the opposite route from Pan Ning; she was dressed all in white, wearing a white slip dress and white skate shoes, with her long hair draped over her shoulders.
Su Qingci and Ren Lingxi also wore nice outfits, but Tang Ziyun was the sexiest today.
She was wearing a camel-colored tight-fitting slip dress that hugged her hips, paired with black high heels. This kind of dress accentuated her figure perfectly.
Su Yang couldn't help but take a few extra glances.
At this time, Zhuang Mengli and Jiang Xiaotang also turned their heads to look, and the two were immediately captivated by the looks and figures of the five women before them.
Zhuang Mengli thought to herself, 'Wow, even though I've seen them from afar before, I didn't expect that up close, none of them pale in comparison to me!'
Jiang Xiaotang was also a bit surprised; she completely hadn't expected Su Yang's female friends to be this beautiful.
Seeing them enter, Su Yang was the first to stand up and welcome them.
"You're here."
"Brother Su Yang! Long time no see~" Meng Qianyu ran up with a beaming smile and hugged Su Yang.
"Oh boy, alright, alright, it's only been a few days since we last saw each other." Su Yang smiled and gently pushed Meng Qianyu away.
"Hehe, where are the two great beauties you met in Modu?"
"Aren't they sitting right over there?" Su Yang turned around and pointed at Zhuang Mengli and Jiang Xiaotang.
Seeing Su Yang cue them, Zhuang Mengli and Jiang Xiaotang also stood up and walked over.
"Hello there~" the two of them smiled and waved at Pan Ning and the other four.
"Wow! You two are so pretty!" Tang Ziyun quickly stepped forward and held their hands.
"You're pretty too, sister. Actually, all of you are so pretty!" Jiang Xiaotang gave a sweet smile.
"Here we go again." Su Yang shook his head helplessly. "When you girls meet, all you do is praise each other's looks, right?"
"But they really are pretty."
"Alright, alright, let me introduce you all."
Once again, Su Yang acted as the middleman and introduced everyone to each other.
After everyone had briefly gotten to know each other, Su Yang walked over to Pan Ning and pulled her aside. "When did you dye your hair red?"
"The day before yesterday. Does it look good?" Pan Ning smiled and turned her head.
Su Yang observed carefully and smiled. "It looks very good. It gives off a bit of a Black Widow vibe. But you'd look beautiful even without hair!"
"Tch, sweet talker."
As they were speaking, Old Gao knocked on the door and walked in. "President Su, it looks like everyone is here, right?"
Su Yang turned around, scanned the room, and nodded. "Yes, everyone's here. You can serve the food."
"You got it," Old Gao said as he turned and walked out of the private room.
"Alright everyone, since we are all here, please make your way over to the dining table. The food will be served right away."
"Sounds good."

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.

to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
