The air seemed to have been sucked out.
The blood that Taibai Jinxing spat onto the ground was particularly glaring, but he didn't bother to wipe it away; he just stared at his emperor with a look of horror.
Should we ask the Jade Emperor to "squeeze in"?
Is it still at that table, littered with fruit peels and pits, with only half an empty seat?
By the way, could you also tell me about my daughter's job as a "foot-washing maid"?
This is not just a slap in the face; it's tearing off the face of the Haotian Shangdi, throwing it on the ground and stomping on it, and finally spitting on it.
Haotian stood at the end of the red carpet, his chest heaving violently.
His eyes, which once held an aura of Heavenly Might, were now fixed on Qin Feng's hand slapping the chair. Each slap felt not only a challenge to his imperial authority but also a silent humiliation.
go?
That would be humiliating. Once he sat down, the Heavenly Court's prestige would be completely destroyed, and he, the ruler of the Three Realms, would never be able to hold his head up in front of Qin Feng again, becoming the true "someone else".
Not going?
Turn around and leave?
That was a hasty retreat. Tomorrow's top headline in the Primordial World will be. " The Heavenly Emperor, fearing Qin Feng, flees in public at the Peach Banquet."
Caught between a rock and a hard place.
They were caught in a dilemma.
Haotian's knuckles turned white from clenching his fists, and the Quasi-Saint- level Magic Power within his body surged wildly, causing cracks to appear faintly in the surrounding space.
Everyone held their breath.
Everyone is waiting, waiting for this Heavenly Emperor to erupt, waiting for his thunderous wrath.
After all, he is the ruler of a realm, and he holds Innate Spiritual Treasure like the Haotian Mirror. If a fight were to break out, even with Zhen Yuanzi backing him up, Qin Feng would have to think twice.
However.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Ten breaths passed.
The expected thunder did not fall.
Haotian took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the anger in his eyes had miraculously disappeared, replaced by a deep, unfathomable pool.
Tolerate.
We must endure it.
The Chaos Green Lotus Seed that Qin Feng had just taken out, and Zhen Yuanzi's almost submissive oath, were like a bucket of ice water, extinguishing the fire of anger in his heart.
Qin Feng is now fully capable.
If they were to turn against each other now, the Queen Mother of the West would definitely side with Qin Feng, Zhen Yuanzi would definitely side with Qin Feng, and then there would be that group of terrifyingly powerful female immortals...
The Heavenly Court cannot afford to lose.
" Alliance Leader Qin is joking."
Haotian forced a smile onto his lips, his voice steady, revealing no emotion.
"The main table is crowded, and this old man prefers peace and quiet, so I won't join in the fun."
After saying that.
He moved his feet.
Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of people, whose eyes were practically popping out of their sockets, the Supreme Heavenly Venerable Haotian, who ruled over the Three Realms, actually... changed direction.
He did not go to the head table.
He also did not ascend to the position of honor that was rightfully his.
Instead, he acted like an ordinary passerby who didn't want to cause trouble, drawing a large semicircle along the edge of the red carpet, deliberately avoiding the core area where Qin Feng was.
One step, two steps.
The figure in the bright yellow Dragon Robe looked strangely desolate at that moment.
He bypassed the main table and went straight to the next seat, which originally belonged to the Four Emperors.
"Taibai."
Haotian's voice was deep.
"Ah? Yes! Your Majesty, I am here!"
Taibai Jinxing scrambled over and frantically wiped the empty chair with his sleeve.
"Sit."
Haotian lifted his robe, his face dark, and sat down in the second seat.
The entire audience.
All was silent.
The silence at this moment was even more chilling than when Zhen Yuanzi had just made his vow.
If the silence just now was due to shock, then the silence now is due to fear.
That was the sound of a worldview collapsing.
All the gods and immortals gaped open, and the sound of their jaws dislocating echoed throughout the room.
We took a detour!
The Jade Emperor actually took a detour!
Faced with Qin Feng's provocation, and the humiliation of having his daughter snatched and his goddess stolen, this ruler of the Three Realms actually chose to back down!
Moreover, it was a complete concession, where they didn't dare utter a single harsh word!
"The world... has truly changed."
One of the Golden Immortals from the Interception Sect swallowed hard, feeling a chill run down his spine.
"Even the Jade Emperor has to avoid his sharp edge. In this Primordial World, who will be able to subdue him in the future?"
"What do you mean by avoiding the enemy's sharp edge? This is clearly admitting defeat!"
The Great Sage of the Demon Clan beside him sneered, his gaze fixed intently on the white-robed youth in the main seat.
"This is power! This is prestige! I have a feeling that the Goddess Immortal Alliance is about to become the third major power after the Lich and Demon races!"
All eyes turned to Qin Feng once again.
This time.
It's no longer just about watching the spectacle.
Rather, it was a deep sense of awe, even worship.
It could make Zhen Yuanzi bow down, make the Queen Mother of the West fall in love, and make the Jade Emperor go out of his way.
This is hardly the case of someone living off a woman.
This is clearly like tearing a hole in the sky and then trying to trample it underfoot as a stepping stone!
Qin Feng, the person involved, looked completely innocent at the moment.
"They're... leaving already?"
He watched Haotian's retreating figure, head down, drinking, shrugged, and casually popped a peeled grape into his mouth.
"What a pity. I was going to ask him if the Heavenly Court needed any gatekeepers. I have a few good-for-nothing subordinates who want to go and earn a living."
Pfft.
Long Ji, who was massaging his legs, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Her smile instantly dissolved the tense atmosphere.
" The Alliance Leader is really wicked."
Chang'e gave him a playful glare, but then peeled another orange and carefully removed the white pith one by one.
"They're almost crying from anger, and you're rubbing salt into their wounds."
That's called disinfection.
Qin Feng spoke with righteous indignation.
Watching this scene unfold.
The eyes of all the female fairies present were shining.
What does it mean to be domineering?
That's true power!
This is what we call a sense of security!
With a man like this, you wouldn't even need to fear the Heavenly Emperor; what else in this world is there to be afraid of?
Those goddesses who were initially hesitant about joining the Immortal Alliance now completely changed their minds.
What Heavenly Law laws and regulations?
What rules and regulations?
Screw you!
As long as you can follow behind Qin Feng, even if you're just a maid serving tea and water, you'll still be incredibly prestigious!
"Cough cough."
The Queen Mother of the West saw that the time was almost right; if things continued to stalemate, the Peach Banquet truly become Qin Feng's personal awards ceremony.
Although she was happy to see it happen, she was, after all, the Dao Master, and she had to smooth things over.
"Now that everyone is seated..."
The Queen Mother of the West raised her wine cup, her phoenix eyes sweeping around her, once again radiating the majesty of a ruler.
"Today's Flat Peach Banquet is to celebrate the harmony between heaven and earth. Fellow Daoists, please do not be reserved and drink to your heart's content."
"Play music!"
"Let's dance!"
With her command.
The clouds above the Yaochi dispersed, and dozens of graceful Chang'e (position name) flew in, their long sleeves flowing as they danced, accompanied by Immortal Music music.
The atmosphere at the banquet finally began to warm up.
The sounds of clinking glasses and exchanging toasts rang out again.
But everyone tacitly kept the topic low-key, their eyes occasionally glancing towards the main table and the Jade Emperor.
At the main table.
Qin Feng was clearly the absolute core of the entire event.
One after another, bold immortals cautiously approached, holding wine cups, to offer their toasts.
" Alliance Leader Qin, I am Rogue Cultivator from Penglai, and I have long admired your name..."
" Alliance Leader Qin, this is a ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum that I obtained in a secret realm. It's just a small token of my appreciation..."
" Alliance Leader, are you still looking for a leg accessory? The kind that shouts '666'..."
Qin Feng accepted all the toasts offered to him.
He was in a good mood.
We have exceeded our objectives for today.
Not only did he establish his authority, but he also gained a wave of reputation points. Most importantly, the system just notified him that because of Haotian's concession, his "backer value" skyrocketed.
"Come on, drink!"
Qin Feng raised his cup, his heroic spirit soaring to the clouds.
Just then...
The Queen Mother of the West, who had been sitting silently to the side, suddenly leaned closer.
The aroma of wine mingled with her unique orchid fragrance, wafting straight into Qin Feng's nose.
" Alliance Leader Qin."
The Queen Mother of the West spoke very softly, so that only the people at their table could hear her.
"You really just gave away that Chaos Green Lotus Seed like that?"
She still found it unbelievable.
That's something even a saint would envy.
Qin Feng turned his head, looking at those phoenix eyes so close to his own, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"If Your Empress likes it, I have more."
As he spoke.
He then put his hand inside his clothes.
He rummaged around.
The Queen Mother of the West's breath caught in her throat.
Even Yun Xiao, who was pouring the wine, didn't notice that his hand trembled and the wine spilled.
besides?
Is this a Chinese cabbage?
Qin Feng withdrew his hand.
There were no lotus seeds in the palm of my hand.
Instead, it was a crystal-clear jade pendant that emitted a faint warmth.
"This is for Your Empress."
Qin Feng casually slipped the jade pendant into the Queen Mother of the West's hand, his fingertips inadvertently brushing against her palm, sending a tingling sensation through him.
"This is..."
The Queen Mother of the West looked down at the jade pendant in her hand.
Although the jade was of excellent quality, it was only at the level of Acquired Spiritual Treasure. Compared to the green lotus seed and Ginseng Fruit from before, it was practically a bargain-basement item.
"This is a talisman I carved myself."
Qin Feng was talking nonsense with a straight face.
"Although it's not worth much money, it's engraved with my unique formation. As long as Your Empress wears it, no matter where you are, if you encounter danger, just call my name."
Qin Feng leaned close to her ear, his warm breath brushing against the Queen Mother of the West's sensitive earlobe.
"I will be there."
boom.
The Queen Mother of the West felt as if something had exploded in her mind.
That Dao Heart, cultivated for billions of years and already as firm as a rock, suddenly began to beat wildly uncontrollably.
Two blushes rose on her cheeks, spreading all the way down her slender neck.
This is considered...
Flirting?
Or a promise?
In the Primordial World, it was common to give away magical treasures, as well as rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
But offering a "promise" and "being available at any time" is something I've never heard of before.
Especially when these words came from the mouth of a man who had just forced the Heavenly Emperor to retreat, their destructive power was even greater than that of Innate Supreme Treasure.
"Glib-tongued."
The Queen Mother of the West gave a coquettish laugh, but instead of returning the jade pendant, she solemnly hung it in the most conspicuous position on her waist in front of Qin Feng.
It stands side by side with the phoenix seal, which symbolizes power.
This action.
This reignited the gossip-loving spirit of the entire audience.
Holy crap! A token of love!
"It's up! Your Empress has hung it up!"
"I agree to this marriage!"
Haotian was seated in the second seat.
Watching that pair of "adulterers" exchange tokens of affection in public, exchanging flirtatious glances.
Click.
The Glazed Goblet in his hand finally gave way and turned into a pile of dust.
"His Majesty..."
Taibai Jinxing looked at the shards of glass scattered across the table, and felt like crying but had no tears.
In just a short while, you've crushed three of them.
If they keep squeezing, Yaochi's reserves will run out.
"Taibai."
Haotian gritted his teeth, his voice sounding as if it came from the deepest hell.
"Go check."
"Find out everything about this Qin Feng!"
"I refuse to believe that he is truly without any flaws!"
Taibai Jinxing looked distressed.
"Your Majesty, it's been investigated. His background is stone, his hobby is women, and his special skill is... living off women."
Haotian: "..."
He suddenly felt that the Heavenly Court might really be doomed.
Just then...
A sudden commotion arose outside the Yaochi.
Immediately afterwards, a fierce and domineering demonic wind, carrying a strong stench of blood, forcefully broke through the auspicious barrier of Yaochi and roared in.
This aura was so strong that even many Golden Immortals found it difficult to breathe.
"Haha! I heard there's something exciting to see at the Peach Banquet?"
"I have come uninvited; surely the Queen Mother of the West will not refuse me this honor?"
With that burst of wild laughter.
A burly man, clad in golden armor, with a full head of red hair and his body ablaze with the Solar True Fire, strode in.
With each step he took, a charred footprint was left on the floor.
Make sure you see who it is.
Many of the older generation of Great Powers figures present had their expressions change drastically.
Daoist Lu Ya.
The tenth prince of the Ancient Demon Court, the master of the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife!
"Why is this guy here?"
Zhen Yuanzi frowned slightly, and with a gentle sweep of his jade whisk, he blocked the oncoming heat wave.
Lu Ya didn't even glance at the others.
His eyes, as bright as the blazing sun, swept across the room before finally locking onto the white-clad figure at the head table.
"You're Qin Feng?"
Lu Ya grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth, his killing intent undisguised.
"I heard you have the Chaos Green Lotus Seed?"
What a coincidence!
"I happen to be short of some materials for refining weapons. May I borrow them for a bit of fun?"
