Night fell soundlessly.
A bright moon hung high in the sky.
Yue Guan sat alone atop a treetop, tilting his head back to gaze at the bright moon overhead.
Forgive him.
After all, he had fallen into a state of self-isolation. It would definitely take him some time to pull himself out.
A bonfire was lit.
The flickering firelight danced across every young face, adding a different kind of fuel to the fervent atmosphere that had only just died down.
Spirit Hall's future Holy Daughter had obtained an External Soul Bone.
Setting everything else aside, that achievement alone was enough to earn every Soul Saint present at least a one-rank promotion.
Strength was strength, resources were resources, and status was status.
With a chance to climb another step higher, who would want to remain where they were for the rest of their lives?
Therefore, although lighting a bonfire in the Star Dou Great Forest was an extremely dangerous thing to do, it had been Hu Liena's suggestion, and most people happened to agree with it. Gui Mei thus gave his consent, half-reluctantly.
With two Titled Douluo standing guard, even if they encountered a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, they would still have a chance of winning.
And that chance was not small.
Besides, they were currently in the outer area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The odds of encountering a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast were negligible!
"Cheers!"
Four wine cups clinked lightly in midair.
Unfortunately, the liquids inside them were all different.
Hu Liena had red wine in her cup, Yan and Xie Yue had strong liquor, while Lu Yuan's cup—
contained plain boiled water.
Ignoring the strange looks from others, the young man wore a faint smile as he raised his cup and elegantly drained the boiled water in one gulp
