The streak of light that the Qing Niao had transformed into disappeared completely at the edge of the sky.
The once quiet Penglai Square, where you could hear a pin drop, suddenly erupted into chaos, like boiling water whose lid had been lifted.
"Good boy."
Shi Ji tucked the Eight Trigrams Cloud Light Scarf into her waistband, rushed over to Qin Feng in a few steps, staring wide-eyed, her face still showing signs of shock.
"Was that a messenger from the West Kunlun? That Qing Niao?"
"Back when I was on Skeleton Mountain, I heard the old scorpion demon from the neighboring cave bragging that this Qing Niao was the eye of the Queen Mother of the West, and that it was so arrogant that it wouldn't even give a damn about Daluo Golden Immortal."
"I just saw her bow to our Alliance Leader; her forehead almost sank into the ground."
Shi Ji clicked her tongue twice, reached out and patted Qin Feng on the shoulder, looking quite proud of herself.
"It still comes down to our powerful backer; his influence is Tongtian."
Qin Feng casually tossed the jade invitation card aside, glancing at her sideways.
Stop flattering me.
"Go and bring me a chair. I've been standing for ages, my back is aching."
Alright!
Shi Ji scurried off to fetch a purple-gold armchair, and even handed a Spiritual Fruit to Qin Feng, her sycophantic manner perfectly executed.
Qin Feng slumped back in his chair, took a bite of the Spiritual Fruit, and juice spilled out.
He looked at the group of goddesses around him, each with a different expression, and raised an eyebrow slightly.
"What's wrong?"
"They all look so gloomy, as if I owe them spirit stones that I haven't paid back."
"Isn't it just the Queen Mother of the West? Isn't it just a Peach Banquet?"
"Is it really necessary to make the atmosphere so tense?"
Princess Longji sighed, her magnificent palace dress appearing somewhat dull.
She stepped forward and looked at Qin Feng with a complicated expression.
"Brother Qin, you don't know this."
"This Queen Mother of the West... is no ordinary female immortal."
"Her seniority in the Primordial World world is terrifyingly high."
Long Ji took a deep breath, as if recalling a memory that made her wary, and lowered her voice considerably.
"That person was from the same era as Dao Ancestor Hongjun."
"She sat in the front row when we listened to the sermon at the Purple Heavens Palace back then."
"Later, the Dao Ancestor bestowed the title of King Father of the East upon the head of the male immortals, and the title of Queen Mother of the West upon the Head of Female Immortals."
At this point, Long Ji subconsciously glanced westward, as if an invisible pair of eyes were watching them.
"Although in name, she and my Imperial Father, the Haotian Shangdi, were equal Dao Companion, jointly governing the Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth."
"But in reality..."
Long Ji pursed his lips, revealing a helpless, bitter smile that only insiders would know.
"My father, the Imperial Father, is usually very imposing in the Grand Pure Palace, but if he really sees this Queen Mother of the West, he doesn't dare to breathe loudly."
"Her West Kunlun is a world unto itself, beyond the reach of even the heavenly rules and Heavenly Law."
"I once overheard my Imperial Father complaining in his study, saying that the Queen Mother of the West was simply an ancestor who 'obeyed orders but not summons,' and that whenever she was unhappy, the yin and yang order of the Heavenly Court would be thrown into chaos."
"This person, whom Heavenly Emperor respects, suddenly sent us an invitation..."
Long Ji paused, his gaze falling on the Jade Slip in Qin Feng's hand.
"Brother Qin, this is probably not a good omen."
"Our 'Immortal Alliance' is entirely composed of female immortals; we've clearly stolen her thunder as the ' Head of Female Immortals '."
"This is a trap."
These words were spoken.
The atmosphere became even more oppressive.
The Spiritual Fruit in Bixiao's hand no longer smelled good. She shrank back and muttered to herself:
"So fierce?"
"Can we not go?"
"Not going?"
Fairy Yun Xiao also came over at this moment. She was dressed in a plain white Daoist robe and had a calm demeanor, but there was an unresolved worry between her brows.
"I'm afraid it's not up to us."
Yun Xiao looked at Qin Feng and added in a solemn tone:
"Sister Long Ji is right, but that's only the surface."
"My master, the Tongtian Jiaozhu, once said that the Queen Mother of the West originated from a wisp of primordial Yin energy at the beginning of the universe."
"She is not only the Head of Female Immortals, but also holds the power over the punishments and calamities of heaven and earth."
"It can be said that she is the oldest and most ferocious blade in this Primordial World. It's just that in recent years she has cultivated herself and stayed in Yaochi, never venturing into the world, which has made people gradually forget her terror."
Yun Xiao pointed westward, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes.
"Her Yaochi, also known as the Peach Garden, is a first-class treasure land in the Primordial World, and also a forbidden area."
"Except for the Flat Peach Banquet held every few years, not even a fly can get in on ordinary days."
"She was aloof and withdrawn, rarely interacting with the outside world, let alone inviting anyone out."
"This time..."
Yun Xiao's gaze was sharp as he stared directly at Qin Feng.
"Brother Qin, your ' Goddess Immortal Alliance ' is too powerful; you've even won over the Empress Houtu."
"From the perspective of the Queen Mother of the West, this might be considered a provocation."
"Or perhaps, she feels that you have challenged her absolute authority among the goddesses."
"This invitation, seemingly polite, is in fact a declaration of war."
"If we go, we'll be venturing into the tiger's den; if we don't go, we'll be showing our weakness, and she'll have even more reason to attack the Immortal Alliance."
Yun Xiao's analysis was thorough and logically sound.
The girls present were completely stunned.
Even the usually carefree Shi Ji felt a chill down her spine, as if an invisible knife of punishment was pressed against her neck.
"It's all over, it's all over."
Shi Ji, with a mournful face, tugged at Qin Feng's sleeve and shook it.
"My lord, have we gone too far this time?"
"How about we change the name of 'Immortal Alliance'? How about ' Penglai Little Dining Table' or 'East Sea Tea Party'?"
"Anyway, as long as I don't use the words 'female fairy' in my name, I should be able to avoid this calamity, right?"
Qin Feng was so dizzy from being shaken that he irritably pulled his sleeve back.
"Promising."
He took the last bite of the fruit, flicked the pit away, and it flew in a graceful arc, landing precisely in a distant Auspicious Cloud.
"Change name?"
"I will not change my name or surname."
"Since it's called the Immortal Alliance, it means it's going to unify the Primordial World female immortal realm. How can it survive if it changes its name?"
Qin Feng stood up, patted the juice off his hands, and his expression showed no sign of panic, but rather an incomprehensible excitement.
He listened to the women's discussion.
Instead of seeing it as a problem, they felt it was... a tremendous opportunity.
He quickly calculated in his mind.
First of all, the Queen Mother of the West is very rich, Flat Peach are a form of hard currency. Eating them can increase one's cultivation level and lifespan. If we could get our hands on these peaches, the welfare benefits of the Immortal Alliance would be upgraded several levels.
Secondly, the Queen Mother of the West holds a high position, Head of Female Immortals. If we could borrow this title or even make its owner one of our own, wouldn't the prestige of the Immortal Alliance skyrocket?
Most importantly...
Qin Feng glanced at the system panel.
Although the system is not active now, he knows with his toes that as long as he sees the Queen Mother of the West, as long as this female immortal leader develops feelings of dependence on him or seeking his help, he will be able to get her back.
The system rewards would be absolutely phenomenal.
"The innate Yin energy takes form..."
"If we could get them to be our backers... oops, I mean, to be our protectors."
"What kind of incredible features would I need to unlock?"
The more Qin Feng thought about it, the more he felt that this matter had potential.
As for the so-called Feast at Hongmen, punishments and disasters, and intimidation tactics...
In his eyes, those were just little tricks by rich women to attract the attention of handsome men.
"Alright, stop scaring yourselves."
Qin Feng waved his sleeve, interrupting the women's wild thoughts.
"Your analyses are all reasonable."
"The Queen Mother of the West is indeed not to be trifled with; this invitation certainly wasn't made with good intentions."
"But so what?"
Qin Feng's lips curled into an arrogant smile as he scanned the entire room, his domineering aura of "I am the only one who can do this" instantly erupting from him.
"It is true that she is the Head of Female Immortals immortal."
"But I am still the support of all the female immortals!"
"If she wants to fight, we'll fight her to the bitter end; if she wants to reason, my words aren't to be trifled with either."
"Not to mention..."
Qin Feng paused, his tone becoming somewhat playful.
"Do you really think that an old woman who never leaves her house and lives alone in her peach orchard is just sending us invitations simply to protest?"
Is it possible that she's lonely?
"Is she jealous because she sees our Immortal Alliance having such a great time?"
"Is she trying to find an excuse to infiltrate our circle?"
These words were spoken.
The entire room fell silent.
Chang'e gaped open, Yun Xiao's lips twitched, and Long Ji felt his worldview shatter.
I'm so damn lonely!
He's so jealous!
That's the Queen Mother of the West! The God of War of war who controls punishments! How did she become, in your mouth, a haughty old auntie who wants to join a group chat but is too shy to do so?
"Whether she's testing me, trying to win me over, or issuing a warning."
Qin Feng didn't give them a chance to object and made the decision directly.
"We're definitely going to West Kunlun."
"Not only should we go, but we should go in style and glory."
"Isn't she the Head of Female Immortals? Let's go see if she, as the 'leader,' can really protect all the female immortals in this Primordial World."
"What if we can't cover it up..."
A glint flashed in Qin Feng's eyes, and he smiled like a fox eyeing a hen.
"Then I wouldn't mind taking on some of the burden and helping her out."
"And while we're at it, let's 'share' her Peach Garden too."
After saying that.
Qin Feng turned and walked towards the main hall, his back view exuding elegance.
"Everyone, disperse. Those who need to cultivate, go ahead and dress up."
"Three months later, we'll all be mobilized."
"Let's go to West Kunlun and eat like royalty!"
Watching Qin Feng's departing figure, the women exchanged glances, speechless for a long time.
for a long time.
Shi Ji asked timidly:
"Um... when the Alliance Leader mentioned 'eating the rich,' was he referring to the proper way of doing it?"
"I have a feeling he wants to eat the tree along with the person."
Yun Xiao rubbed his temples and sighed helplessly.
"Get ready."
"It seems the weather is about to change again on this trip to West Kunlun."
"I only hope that the Queen Mother of the West... can have a firmer Dao Heart, and not be like the Empress Houtu, whose soul was bewitched."
