Main Text Chapter 825 Banquet at the East Courtyard
Hong Chen, who was helping to tidy up her hair, pressed Yue Yao's arm with his elbow, which made Yue Yao come back to her senses. The two said together: "I am willing to go with Master."
Mu Fanjun said "hmm", closed her eyes and said nothing more.
After the two helped her comb her hair, they stepped aside to watch, and the two maids came forward to make up Mu Fanjun.
The lines on her face gradually took on a sharp and angular sense of firmness, and her eyebrows were slightly widened and darkened, tending to a pair of sword eyebrows. It was obviously not the first time that the two maids helped Mu Fanjun do such a thing. Soon, Mu Fanjun's face could no longer see the feminine beauty, just like a man sitting in front of the dressing table.
A pair of phoenix eyes opened in front of the mirror, with a cold look, giving people an oppressive aura. Mu Fanjun stood up, and the maids on both sides quickly helped her spread out the slightly dark gray cloth gown on her body.
The three masters and apprentices left the Jiutian Palace, one in front and two behind. Standing on the steps outside the palace gate, Mu Fanjun glanced at the mountains outside the palace with a cold look, and with a wave of his sleeves, he swept away with Hongchen and Yueyao on his left and right.
There is a small temple on the hillside below the Jiutian Palace. It is usually responsible for the miscellaneous affairs of Tianwaitian. It was originally in charge of Huyan Taibao, Mu Fanjun's eldest apprentice, but now it is in charge of An Ruyu, the second apprentice. An Ruyu stood outside the small temple, watching the figure disappearing in the sky, her face tense, her fists clenched in her sleeves. Recently, she was full of anger, but it was not easy to show it in front of Mu Fanjun.
Who else could she be angry with except Miao Yi? She never dreamed that Miao Yi would actually hook up with the proprietress of Fengyun Inn. It would be fine if you hooked up secretly, and at most you would be asked to cut off the relationship, but you made such a big fuss. Now everyone in the world doesn't know that the proprietress of Fengyun Inn has become Miao Yi's woman. This clearly shows that he is supporting the proprietress as his wife.
If her two daughters were to be the left and right wives and the boss lady to be a concubine, she might be able to bear it.
How could An Ruyu feel now? She had already been wronged and compromised. She was going to marry her two daughters to Miao Yi, but Miao Yi didn't appreciate it. He would rather have a slut than her two daughters. Doesn't this mean that her two daughters together are not as good as the boss lady's slut?
What's more outrageous is that Miao Yi was willing to give up everything for a slut, even the high position and generous salary that many people dream of, and actually defected directly. If this was used on her own daughters, it would be fine, but it was used on that slut, which almost made An Ruyu's lungs explode.
When she thought of herself sending clothes to Miao Yi like a fool and helping him change clothes with her own hands, An Ruyu wanted to tear Miao Yi alive.
Her half-brother, An Zhengfeng, the shopkeeper, was almost beaten to death by her on the spot. Ouyang Guang and the twin sisters were not spared either. They were scolded to death one by one, and all their anger was directed at the people around them...
Xingxiu Sea, Xixiu Palace, there are visitors, two monks, one old and one young, none other than Master Qijie and his disciple Bajie of Jiemen.
Li Feng, the left envoy of Li, came out to greet them personally and led the master and apprentice directly inside.
On the way to the main palace in the back, Bajie, who was following behind, suddenly said, "Left envoy Li. I heard that Miao Yi is in Xixiu Palace?"
Li Feng looked back at him, looked him up and down, frowned slightly and said, "Young master, do you have any advice?"
Hearing his slightly unhappy tone, Master Qijie said, "Left envoy Li, I have no other intentions, just because I and Miao Yi are close friends. He came with me and was intentionally visiting on the way. He has no bad intentions."
His words are still credible. Li Feng randomly intercepted a person on the way and asked him to take Bajie to see Miao Yi. He himself led the Seventh Master into the room.
The East Courtyard of Xixiu Star Palace is now Miao Yi's residence. At this time, in the pavilions and towers. All the thirty-six demon kings of Xingxiu Sea gathered in Xixiu Star Palace were invited by Miao Yi to host a banquet.
In fact, it was not Miao Yi who wanted to host a banquet. He is now one of the five major hosts of Xingxiu Sea. He has no habit of lowering his posture to get along well with the people below. Since he became the cave master, the relationship between the upper and lower has always been very clear.
But the boss lady insisted on hosting a banquet, but she still understood the principle of husband singing and wife following. Although it was her idea, she still forced Miao Yi to come forward to host it.
The staff is ready. The staff of the boss lady Fengyun Inn has arrived, and the chefs and the like are all available.
In the pavilions and towers, thirty-six demon kings sat on the left and right. Behind the first long table, Miao Yi and the proprietress sat side by side. The carpenter and the stonemason changed into new clothes and stood behind them as foils. During the meal, the proprietress raised her cup frequently and chatted and laughed with the demon kings, and soon she got closer to the demon kings.
The proprietress was obviously very good at such social matters. Although the situation was actually presided over by her, she tried to highlight Miao Yi as the main person, just trying to play the role of foil and push Miao Yi to play the role of the master.
Miao Yi just let her toss and go along with her toss. He himself was not used to controlling his subordinates in this way. Since Donglai Cave, he has always been known for his toughness against his subordinates. Many of his subordinates have been killed by him. For him, it is meaningless to have such a scene without strength.
The atmosphere in the pavilions and towers was very harmonious, and everyone was happy to eat and drink.
When the show was about to end, the scholar suddenly came in from the side and whispered something in Miao Yi's ear. Miao Yi was stunned and turned back and said, "Let him wait first."
The scholar nodded and left. The proprietress just glanced at him and continued to say to everyone: "My fellow demon kings, don't look at me sitting next to your host now, but my status is very awkward. Your host hasn't decided when to marry me yet. I don't know if another woman will suddenly take this position one day."
Everyone laughed, but Miao Yi rolled his eyes and drank from his glass.
The white-bone demon king below laughed and said, "Madam, you worry too much. The great deeds of Fifth Master for Madam are witnessed by heaven and earth. It is not something that ordinary people can do or dare to do. How can it be done without sincerity? I believe Fifth Master is considering the current situation. If nothing unexpected happens, the next time we gather again will be when we drink Madam and Fifth Master's wedding wine, so Madam, don't worry too much. Fifth Master's wife, Madam is a foregone conclusion!"
The proprietress sighed, "I don't know what your Fifth Master thinks, but I would like to borrow your good words, but now there are rumors outside. There are all kinds of things about me, and I believe you have heard a lot of them?"
The King of the Blue Sea said loudly, "Madam, why don't you take some villain's words to heart? I dare not say anything else. If anyone under me dares to gossip, I will definitely pull out his tongue."
A group of demon kings immediately agreed. Everyone can say nice things, so what's the point of making such a scene for Miao Yi? Maybe these people are just gossiping behind his back.
"I have no way to thank you for your kindness. I just prepared some small gifts to show my appreciation. Just treat it as a gift for meeting you." The proprietress smiled and clapped her hands gently.
The carpenters and stonemasons behind her immediately walked to the seats of the demon kings, and small wooden boxes were placed on the desks of the demon kings one by one.
There are gifts? Miao Yi turned around and looked at the proprietress who was holding the wine glass and slowly putting it to her lips, smiling and observing the reaction below. He pulled the proprietress's skirt with his hand, obviously asking what the gift was?
Pulling my skirt secretly in public. What's wrong with this? The proprietress was indifferent on the surface. She sipped the wine glass with one hand, but put down the other hand. A sharp jade finger poked Miao Yi's back of the hand, which made Miao Yi shrink his hand in pain.
She liked this man, and although she loved this man to the sweetness of her heart, she could not hide the flaws. She could not ignore Miao Yi's shortcomings. He had reached such a status and position, but he still couldn't get rid of that kind of market taste. Being used to doing sneaky things, such as secretly pulling the hostess's skirt in such occasions, is a lack of education.
Miao Yi rubbed the back of his hand expressionlessly. On the surface, he picked up the wine glass and drank slowly, but his heart was itching.
A demon king below opened the gift box and saw ten pills emitting a hazy purple halo inside. Someone was surprised and said, "Xianyuan Pill?"
The demon kings took a look and hurriedly opened their gift boxes to check. Sure enough, there were ten Xianyuan Pills in everyone's gift box.
The demons took one in their hands and checked it. They liked this gift very much.
Xianyuan Pill is exclusive to the Six Saints. Except for the people around the Six Saints or the Six Saints' confidants, they can get the Six Saints' rewards. No one else has enjoyed this thing. The demon kings have never tasted the taste of Xianyuan Pill. This time, they finally have the opportunity to see it.
Miao Yi looked at the proprietress suspiciously, thinking. This can't be the ones I gave? I gave it to you, but you gave it to these guys?
When he came back from the Zhengqi Gate in the big world for the first time, he gave her a thousand Xianyuan Pills.
"Yes, it is Xianyuan Pills." The proprietress smiled and said, "Before Fengyun Inn was destroyed, my grandfather had someone send some to me. I didn't expect that Fengyun Inn would be destroyed by your Fifth Master, and I was robbed by him. It happened that I kept these Xianyuan Pills and had not had time to use them. It happened that we were gathered together for the first time, so I will treat them as a meeting gift. I hope you don't dislike it. If I offended you in the early years, I hope you demon kings will forgive me with this kindness. We are all family from now on, so you are not allowed to remember the past grudges."
This gift is not light. Although it is not much for each person, the thirty-six demon kings add up to 360 Xianyuan Pills, which is equivalent to giving 36 million low-grade wish beads directly at once. Who dares to say that this gift is light?
However, the demon kings were shocked and exchanged glances secretly. This woman is indeed Yun Aotian's favorite granddaughter. Yun Aotian has given her so many immortality pills, which shows that Yun Aotian has never given up on this granddaughter and has always valued her.
No one doubted that the immortality pills were given to the boss lady by someone else, because everyone knew that only the Six Saints had immortality pills. The boss lady threw out hundreds of them at once, and it must be Yun Aotian who gave them.
Miao Yi was also muttering in his heart, it turned out that Yun Aotian gave them.
"The past is over, who still remembers the past grudges? I, Lie Huan, will be the first to make things difficult for him. Besides, how can we dislike such a generous gift from the lady? This time, we are blessed by the lady and can finally taste the taste of the immortality pill." Demon King Lie Huan smiled and bowed.
The demons also bowed to thank him.
"Don't thank me too early, my gift is not for nothing. First, your Fifth Master hasn't officially married me yet, so after you accept my gift, you have to help me urge him. If he's not anxious, I am. Second, you can't pretend you didn't hear the rumors about me outside, if you see them, you have to help me vent my anger." The proprietress said with a smile.
She seemed serious, but in fact, she didn't expect anything from these people. Did she need them to help her speak beside Miao Yi? Did she need them to block rumors? She just said it like that. It would be easier to talk about anything in the future.
"Of course." The group of monsters responded.
After the banquet, the proprietress took Miao Yi's arm and walked out of the pavilion together.
After all the monsters left, Miao Yi immediately asked, "Will your grandfather secretly give you the Xianyuan Pill?"
The lady boss rolled her eyes at him, "If my grandfather had given me the Xianyuan Pill, how could I have achieved my current level of cultivation? This is what you gave me in the first place."
"What?" Miao Yi stopped and pulled his arm back from her hand, saying angrily and amusedly, "It's fine if you give away the gift I gave you, but you said it was given by your grandfather. There's no need to give your grandfather a face like this, right? Will your grandfather care?"
"You're stupid!" The lady boss reached out and took his arm again, and continued to lean forward and said, "What's the point of saying it was given by you? Will these people remember your kindness because of this? I'm using my grandfather's light to intimidate them so that they dare not despise us. If we want to have a place in Xingxiu Sea in the future, how can we not let these monster kings have a little fear in their hearts? Fear means respect, and fearlessness means not taking you seriously." (To be continued)
