439: Fenghua Building

"Ning Gege, you've finally come out of seclusion! I almost thought you'd forgotten!"

Luo Wuyou hooked her arm around Wu Ning's and swayed gently, her beautiful face blooming with a smile. Her former lively and charming nature was undiminished, yet now carried an added hint of casual tenderness.

"Don't worry, there's still more than ten years. I remember it all," Wu Ning said with a soft laugh.

Although he wasn't particularly enthusiastic about celebrating his birthday, he didn't want to disappoint Luo Wuyou. It was also a good opportunity to liven things up; the Immortal Palace was usually too quiet.

"Oh, more than ten years will pass very quickly. We must prepare in advance, and there are many things that need Ning Gege to make the final decision personally."

Luo Wuyou suddenly stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around Wu Ning's neck, and brought her face very close to his, a half-smile playing on her lips. "I heard that you previously had two peerless beauties..."

"One ethereal Saintess, gentle as water and unparalleled in purity, and one Jade Pool Heavenly Maiden, flawless as white jade and as cool as a snow mountain lotus. They were even collectively known as the 'Twin Beauties of the Primordial Era.' Ning Gege, aren't you planning to invite them?"

"Ahem, about that..."

A hint of awkwardness appeared on Wu Ning's face. He hadn't yet figured out how to tell Luo Wuyou about this, and he hadn't expected her to bring it up first.

Wu Ning's mind raced, thinking about how to respond.

"Pfft haha..." Luo Wuyou suddenly burst into laughter. It was her first time seeing Wu Ning so flustered and hesitant, and she found it quite amusing.

"Is it that funny?"

A dangerous glint appeared in Wu Ning's eyes. Feeling her delicate body tremble slightly, his heart stirred.

"Ah..."

With a cry of surprise from Luo Wuyou, Wu Ning directly scooped her up by the waist, and his figure flashed, instantly disappearing from the spot.

A short while later, winds stirred, spring thunder boomed, and sweet rain fell continuously for several days without cessation.

After an unknown period of time.

Luo Wuyou lay sprawled on Wu Ning, drenched in sweat, and mumbled drowsily, "Ning Gege, please invite those two elder sisters over. I'd like to meet them too."

"You won't mind them?" Wu Ning asked softly.

"Naturally, just a little bit..." Luo Wuyou held up her pinky finger to illustrate, "But, even with those two elder sisters around, I believe Ning Gege will always love me and be good to me like this."

"That goes without saying. Wu You, a woman so beautiful, kind-hearted, and understanding, is like a heaven-sent treasure, deserving of all the good in the world. How could anyone not love her?"

"Then that's enough."

Luo Wuyou burrowed closer, burying her head in Wu Ning's neck, and continued, "Moreover, I believe any woman favored by Ning Gege must be an excellent person. I'm sure I'll get along very well with them."

"Longevity is inherently lonely, especially after Ning Gege enters seclusion, it becomes even more desolate and boring. If there could be two more good sisters at home, I think that wouldn't be bad at all."

Immortals have endless Lifespan, spending most of their time Cultivating alone, with solitude and quietness being the main theme.

However, Luo Wuyou was not keen on Cultivation, and her personality leaned towards being lively, so she inevitably felt bored in her daily life.

Wu Ning's heart stirred, and an idea immediately came to him.

...

Not long after.

On Zi Chen Star, a magnificent and resplendent tall building rose from the ground. It was ancient in style, decorated with extreme luxury, and bore three ancient characters: Feng Hua Building!

"Feng Hua Building, what kind of place is this?"

Many people gathered in front of the Feng Hua Building's gate, curious about this grand building that had appeared overnight.

Creak!

Just then, the two heavy, giant main doors in the center of the Feng Hua Building opened.

"Look, someone's coming out!"

Passersby all around looked over, only to see a group of young men and women, each dressed uniquely and possessing handsome and beautiful faces, filing out.

Most of the men carried brushes, ink, and folding fans, dressed like refined scholars or elegant literati. Most of the women wore flowing Immortal dresses, holding various musical instruments like guqins, guzheng, and pipa.

There were also some enchanting and beautiful women, their eyes full of emotion, their skirts fluttering, graceful as startled swans, instantly capturing the attention of most of the surrounding crowd.

"My goodness, such beautiful women. Could this Feng Hua Building be that kind of place?"

More and more people gathered, quickly forming a sea of humanity.

At the same time, a group of young men and women waved their hands, producing various tables, chairs, and implements, quickly setting up a large elevated stage on the spacious open ground in front of the main gate.

In front of the stage, there were also seven smaller platforms, displaying seven banners: 'Poetry,' 'Painting,' 'Literature,' 'Music,' 'Dance,' 'Drama,' and 'Art.'

Everyone discussed amongst themselves, growing increasingly curious.

"My Young Master is coming through! Those in front, move aside if you don't want to die!"

A commotion suddenly erupted from the crowd.

Several fierce-looking servants pushed through the crowd, escorting a richly dressed Young Master riding a golden-furred exotic beast, who slowly advanced.

The Young Master rode his exotic beast directly to the very front of the crowd. Sensing the fierce aura emanating from the beast, everyone's eyes showed apprehension, and no one dared to approach.

"Feng Hua Building... interesting."

"Is there anyone in charge who can speak up? Don't you know this Zi Chen Star is our Cai family's territory? Making such a big fuss, did you ask for our Cai family's permission?"

"Don't you understand the rules..."

Boom—!

Before he could finish speaking, a vast and terrifying pressure permeated from the Feng Hua Building, instantly enveloping the entire Zi Chen Star, but it disappeared without a trace after a few breaths.

"Hiss, Immortal Emperor's pressure! This Feng Hua Building actually has an Immortal Emperor expert overseeing it!"

Everyone around was greatly astonished.

Thud!

The Young Master was so scared that his face turned pale, and he stumbled, falling to the ground. Even his mount was so frightened that it collapsed onto the ground.

"Everyone..."

Luo Chenzhou's figure suddenly appeared on the stage. His gaze swept over the crowd, and he said with a smile, "Welcome everyone to Feng Hua Building. After watching for so long, I'm sure everyone is very curious about what our Feng Hua Building does, right?"

Swish!

Luo Chenzhou waved his hand, and a huge notice appeared in the air, a hundred zhang tall, with lines of large characters that were clearly visible even from an extremely distant range.

"Please look, everyone. Our Feng Hua Building does not operate specific businesses, but rather aims to host various competitions, including poetry, painting, literary essays, historical accounts, ghost stories, music, song, dance, and theatrical performances, among many other Domains..."

"The top thousand in each category of competition will receive extremely generous rewards. The lowest thousandth place will receive ten thousand Low Grade Immortal Stone, and as the ranking gets higher, the rewards also increase."

"If one can enter the top three, they will at least receive a High Grade Immortal Artifact. If one wins the championship, various Immortal Pill and Magic Treasure are available for selection, with a value no less than a top-grade Immortal Artifact!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings immediately erupted in a commotion.
