Bai Yujun ate and drank her fill in the Jiuli Sacred Land.
While she was at it, she aired all of Xiao's dirty laundry, completely refusing to play by the rules. Someone else might not have done that, but Bai was no human.
The banquet was fragrant with wine and meat.
Bai Yujun and the demon monkey shamelessly ate themselves half to death, from sunset until moonrise.
When night fell, they simply held a bonfire party. Unexpectedly, the Jiuli clanspeople became even more delighted.
How did that saying go? Light a pile of fire, and you could have fun for an entire night.
They ate from dawn until dark. Many priests and holy maidens from the various tribes who accompanied them wore strange expressions. The demon monkey drank until he was thoroughly drunk, while the Mythical Beast White Dragon kept eating without pause. Her body was small, but her appetite rivaled that of some colossal beast. It felt as though she had treated Jiuli as a rice bucket, the kind where she could eat and drink for free as she pleased.
If she was still eating at dawn, would such a totem really be all right...
Wine dripped from the fur at the monkey's mouth as he watched the Jiuli experts shake their heads.
"Eek. Aside from Old Monk Huixian, only Jiuli dares invite a dragon to dinner. One has nothing at all, while the other is especially rich."
Bamboo Spring Temple had nothing but bamboo-tube rice and coarse tea. Bai could not stand vegetarian fare when she wanted meat.
After nightfall, the old priest and the other elders did not wish to delay the young people's revelry, so they left early to rest. At once, the holy maidens from the various tribes, who had been quiet before, became lively.
