After a few more brief words, the group began building the house. Xi Yun sat to the side watching, her chin resting on her knees, her eyes following Sui Xin's movements.

Everyone had similar ideas: the house should only be one story, but the space should be large enough.

Two large tables and ten stools were placed in the middle, and there was still plenty of space left.

Compared to their own houses, this bamboo house is much more sturdy. The exterior is made of five layers of bamboo, firstly for strength, and secondly because there was no other way, there was just too much bamboo and they couldn't use it all.

After a morning, the house was basically set up. At first glance, it looked bulky, but it gave people a sense of security.

"It seems pretty good," the chubby boy said with a smile.

“Of course it’s a good house for all of us,” Philon said with a smile.

The others were also satisfied with what they had done.

Inside the room, everyone sat around a table, reminiscing about what had happened over the past few months.

Throughout the journey, the seven of them actually didn't spend much time together.

I met Little Fatty, Lu Cheng, Peng Fei, and Wu Qianyu when I was twelve years old. In between, Sui Xin slept for five years because of the Heavenly Destiny Pearl, and now I am seventeen.

It lasted about half a year, during which everyone cultivated together.

She's similar to Fei Rong, except they met later.

Even so, they still came together.

Therefore, some things, whether friendship or family ties, cannot be measured or diluted by time.

It's enough that we share similar interests. We're all fine young people, full of vigor and passion, why worry about so much?

"What? You guys still do that sworn brotherhood thing?" Fei Rong asked in surprise as she listened to the little fat boy and his friends' old stories.

“Isn’t it great? We brothers and sisters have a deep bond, so it’s reasonable for us to become sworn brothers,” the chubby boy retorted instinctively.

"Is Fatty the eldest brother?" Xi Yun asked with a smile.

“No, I want to join too,” Philon said.

He then looked at the chubby boy and said in an unquestionable tone, "Fatty, I want to be the boss, you don't have any objections, right?"

"Huh? Cough, no objection," the chubby boy said honestly, completely forgetting how he used to talk back to Fei Rong.

The fat man's honest appearance amused everyone, and they all tried to suppress their laughter.

"You're smart to know your place."

Fei Rong patted her chest and said confidently, "From now on, we're all brothers and sisters. If you need anything, just come to me."

"Hahaha," everyone burst into laughter, and a joyful atmosphere filled the hesitant room.

"I still remember when we were in that restaurant at the foot of Tianxu Mountain, we got completely drunk, but we were just as happy as we are today," the chubby boy continued.

"You guys drank alcohol?" Fei Rong asked with great interest.

She hasn't drunk it yet. Although she usually looks like a big sister, she's actually only focused on cultivation.

In addition, due to the discipline of my family, even though I am now eighteen, I have never tried drinking alcohol.

"Of course, how can you be considered grown up if you've never drunk alcohol?" the fat man said smugly, completely forgetting his embarrassment at the time, which had made him feel terrible for a whole day.

At this point, Xi Yun immediately became interested, "Senior Sister Fei, you have no idea, the wine is really delicious and exciting."

Qianyu and Pengfei could only laugh, unable to understand why Xiyun liked drinking so much.

After saying that, he looked at Suixin and asked in a low voice, "Suixin, is there any more?"

The others also looked at Suixin, as if he were hiding something. He took out seven bottles of wine from his storage bag and said with a smile, "There are still some left, want to try them?"

"Try it, we must try it," Fei Rong said decisively, picking up a bottle, seemingly impatient.

Qianyu originally wanted to refuse, but for some reason, she couldn't help but reach out and take it; perhaps that was part of its charm.

Everyone else also took a bottle, and then each person was given a small cup.

"May our cultivation be successful," Fei Rong said, standing up and raising her wine glass.

"Having achieved success in cultivation," the others also stood up one after another, clinked glasses lightly, and drank it down in one gulp.

It was midday, and sunlight streamed into the hall through the windows and doors, casting a bright, golden glow that seemed to hint at a bright future for the group.

Great times lie ahead, and the future is in sight.

"Ouch~, it's so spicy!" Fei Rong said with a pained expression as soon as she drank the beverage.

The others nodded in agreement, but Xi Yun looked completely absorbed, drinking one cup after another without a care in the world.

Because of their previous experiences, the chubby kids are much better now. They wouldn't say they hate it, but they definitely don't like it.

I don't really feel anything about following my heart; it's more interesting than drinking water.

Time passed by, second by second. There were no snacks to go with the drinks, just pure drinking, as if no one knew their limits. Now the table was covered with empty bottles, and there were still many scattered on the floor.

Looking around, everyone was drunk, except for Suixin, who was still sitting at the very back. Her face was flushed and her eyes were a little glazed; she was on the verge of being completely drunk.

"Yun'er, have another... drink... one more cup, hehe," Sui Xin mumbled, while Xi Yun beside her was already drunk.

After finishing the last cup, Sui Xin couldn't help but collapse.

He drank the most among them. He didn't expect to get drunk, but somehow he got carried away and drank ten bottles until three or four in the afternoon.

Jianjun naturally saw it too, and for a moment he was in a daze, and couldn't help but sigh that youth is wonderful.

But he didn't care. Everyone had worked really hard this month, and it was good to relax occasionally.

She didn't know how much time had passed when she suddenly felt someone poking her face. In her daze, she saw Xi Yun's flushed face close to hers.
