Back at the park...
The old man and Yun Wanhe slowly walked back toward the sidewalk restaurant, chatting the entire way.
"Hahaha!"
The old man stroked his beard with a satisfied smile.
"Boy, you really are talented. The more we talked, the more impressed I became. I’ve decided. I’ll officially accept you as my disciple."
Hearing those words, Yun Wanhe couldn’t hide the excitement on his face.
"Really, Master?"
He immediately cupped his fists.
"Thank you! I won’t let you down!"
The old man laughed heartily.
"Good! Very good! Cultivate diligently. With your talent, you’ll go much farther than ordinary cultivators."
As they continued walking, the old man suddenly remembered something.
"Oh! There may be an opportunity for you soon."
Yun Wanhe’s ears perked up.
"What opportunity?"
The old man smiled mysteriously.
"Every few years... My old friends and I host a private cultivation tournament. It’s a friendly competition between our disciples. The younger generation spars to determine who has the greatest talent. The winner..."
He held up a single finger.
"Receives Qi Stones."
Yun Wanhe’s footsteps halted for a split second.
"Qi Stones?"
His heartbeat immediately accelerated.
’Qi Stones... In this Qi-starved world... They’re practically priceless treasures. If I can obtain them... My cultivation speed will increase several times over! Perfect! Everything is finally starting to fall into place.’
The two soon returned to the sidewalk restaurant.
Standing outside were Meng Lan and Chi Lingxi.
Both had changed into casual outfits.
Just then...
A full-sized passenger van slowly pulled up to the curb.
The old man blinked.
"Oh? Where are you two going?"
Meng Lan smiled brightly.
"We’re going out to play mini golf with some friends. I don’t get many chances to leave the restaurant, so I’m really looking forward to it."
The old man instinctively narrowed his eyes.
Then...
He looked toward the driver’s seat.
Seeing Shen Tian behind the wheel...
His expression visibly relaxed.
"Oh. So it’s him."
He nodded approvingly.
"Very well. You girls go have fun. I’ll watch the restaurant."
Meng Lan’s smile became even brighter.
"Thank you, Dad!"
She quickly climbed into the van and found an empty seat.
Chi Lingxi silently followed after her.
Yun Wanhe couldn’t help stealing another glance at Chi Lingxi.
Her casual clothes perfectly outlined her graceful figure.
For a brief moment...
He couldn’t look away.
[My future wife really does look beautiful no matter what she wears...]
The moment that thought echoed through his mind...
Chi Lingxi’s expression immediately stiffened.
Without even looking at him...
She climbed into the van and deliberately chose a seat as far away from him as possible.
The other heroines all exchanged helpless looks.
Some even felt a little sympathy for her.
At that moment...
Yun Wanhe suddenly stepped forward.
"Um... Would you mind if I joined you?"
The old man looked surprised.
"Hm? You weren’t invited. It would be kind of rude to invite yourself..."
He was about to continue...
When the driver’s window slowly rolled down.
Shen Tian leaned against the window with an easy smile.
"It’s fine. He can come."
The moment the heroines saw that smile...
They immediately understood.
’He’s planning something...’
Not a single one of them objected.
Only Chi Lingxi frowned slightly.
’Why does he have to come...?’
Yun Wanhe’s face lit up.
"As expected! This brother is generous!"
Just as he reached for the van door...
Shen Tian suddenly spoke again.
"Hold on."
Yun Wanhe paused.
"Hm?"
Shen Tian glanced toward the back of the van.
"Who said you were riding with us?"
Yun Wanhe blinked.
"What?"
"We’re full. There aren’t any seats left. You’ll have to meet us there. It’s called Universal Mini Golf."
Yun Wanhe frowned.
"But... There is an empty seat in the back."
The moment he pointed toward it...
Ruan Yizhen casually placed her handgun on that very seat.
Yun Wanhe looked at the handgun.
Then at Ruan Yizhen.
She simply smiled.
"This seat is occupied."
Yun Wanhe silently swallowed.
"I understand. I’ll meet everyone there."
He slowly stepped back before gently closing the van door.
The passenger van pulled away from the curb.
Watching it disappear into the distance...
Yun Wanhe clenched his fists.
A vein bulged on his forehead.
’Whatever. Those are this Immortal Emperor’s future wives. I can’t throw a childish tantrum over something so small. Besides... A mere mini golf course isn’t difficult to find. I’ll see them there soon enough.’
Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the irritation in his heart before turning to leave, completely unaware that Shen Tian’s smile had grown even wider as the van disappeared around the corner.
By the time Shen Tian’s group arrived at Universal Mini Golf, the parking lot was already filling with families and couples enjoying the weekend.
The moment the passenger van came to a stop, everyone climbed out one after another.
Laughter quickly filled the air.
Chu Mei and Chu Chuchu were already arguing over who would win.
Qin Ruobing chatted with Meng Lan.
Yin Suyi excitedly looked around like it was her first time visiting an amusement park.
Even Ling Shuangxue wore a rare smile.
Several minutes later...
Yun Wanhe finally arrived.
"...Huff... Huff..."
Sweat covered his forehead.
In order to catch up with the van, he had wrapped Qi around his body and sprinted nearly the entire way.
Although he made it...
He had burned through quite a bit of Qi.
"Worth it. As long as I can spend time with my future wives... Everything is worth it."
Shen Tian looked over before clapping his hands once.
"Alright, everyone. Let’s split into groups."
Before he could continue...
"I want to be in your group."
Everyone turned.
Yun Wanhe pointed directly at Shen Tian.
Shen Tian blinked.
"Mine?"
Yun Wanhe nodded confidently.
"That’s right. I think it’ll be more interesting."
In reality...
He had his own plan.
[If I’m in Shen Tian’s group...]
[I can completely outshine him.]
[Then all of these future wives will naturally see who the superior man truly is.]
[This Immortal Emperor will crush him in every event today.]
Behind him...
Every heroine silently glared at Yun Wanhe.
Their expressions gradually darkened.
’He’s stealing one of our spots...’
’How shameless.’
’Can’t he read the room?’
Unfortunately...
Yun Wanhe was far too busy imagining his glorious victory to notice the murderous looks aimed at him.
Shen Tian, however, saw straight through his intentions.
He sighed.
"Fine, you can join my group."
A smug smile immediately appeared on Yun Wanhe’s face.
[Excellent.]
[He’s already fallen into my trap.]
Shen Tian simply smiled inwardly.
[Perfect.]
[You’re making this much easier for me.]
The remaining teams were decided through several rounds of rock-paper-scissors.
After a surprisingly competitive series of matches, the final groups were decided.
Group One
Shen Tian
Qin Ruobing
Chu Zijin
Chu Luoshen
Yun Wanhe
Meng Lan
Chi Lingxi
Xu Ning
Group Two
Ling Shuangxue
Li Lian
Ruan Yizhen
Chu Mei
Chu Chuchu
Yin Suyi
Bai Xue
The moment the groups were announced...
Group One celebrated.
"Yes!"
"We won!"
Chu Zijin happily pumped her fist.
Meanwhile...
Group Two looked utterly devastated.
Dark expressions covered every face.
It looked as though a rain cloud had formed above their heads.
Bai Xue let out a dramatic sigh.
"Life is unfair."
Chu Mei dropped to one knee.
"We lost..."
Yin Suyi looked ready to cry.
"I wanted to spend today with my son..."
Ling Shuangxue pinched the bridge of her nose.
"It’s only mini golf. But it still feels like we lost something important."
Shen Tian couldn’t help chuckling at everyone’s exaggerated reactions.
He clapped his hands once.
"Alright. Enough mourning. Let’s go have some fun."
Everyone’s attention immediately returned to him.
Together, the two groups headed toward the registration booth.
After checking in, each person received a putter, a colored golf ball, and a scorecard.
Yun Wanhe spun the club in his hand before confidently cracking his knuckles.
A grin slowly spread across his face.
[Mini golf?]
[This should be child’s play.]
[As an Immortal Emperor, my control over force is perfect.]
[Every shot will be flawless.]
[This is the perfect chance to embarrass this brother.]
[Just watch...]
[I’ll make all of my future wives realize who the superior man truly is.]
Shen Tian glanced sideways at him before smiling faintly.
[He’s definitely planning something.]
[Good.]
[The harder he tries...]
[The funnier this is going to be].
With clubs in hand, everyone walked toward the first hole.
The first hole stretched across a gentle slope.
A small windmill slowly rotated in the center, forcing every ball to pass through its moving blades before reaching the cup.
The sign beside it read:
- Hole One -
Everyone gathered behind the starting line.
Shen Tian casually rested his putter over his shoulder.
"Who wants to go first?"
Before anyone else could answer...
Yun Wanhe stepped forward.
"I’ll do it."
A confident smile spread across his face.
[Time to establish dominance.]
He planted his feet.
Closed his eyes.
A thin strand of Qi silently circulated through his body.
Not enough for anyone else to notice.
But enough...
To make every movement perfectly precise.
His eyes suddenly opened.
Tap.
The golf ball rolled across the grass.
Straight toward the spinning windmill.
One blade passed.
The ball slipped through the opening with barely a centimeter to spare.
It curved around the edge...
Then gently rolled into the cup.
Plunk.
