Bailing leaned closer to Tiexi and explained softly.
The mountain-sized rhinoceros listened quietly, looking very docile.
After listening, he snorted softly, then slowly walked away.
Night slowly descended, gently covering the land like a sheet of black silk, while bright moonlight spilled like water over the peaceful village.
The group held a grand banquet together with the village's two or three hundred residents.
In the clearing, Bailing made the trees rapidly grow and bend,
intertwining like nimble arms and weaving themselves into a huge, distinctive table in the blink of an eye.
The table was piled with all kinds of delicacies. The villagers' homemade wine gave off a rich, mellow fragrance, a scent steeped in the passage of years.
Freshly picked fruit was brightly colored and plump, each piece giving off an enticing fruity aroma.
Game freshly caught in the forest sizzled with fat as it roasted, its fragrance wafting everywhere.
Every bite seemed to carry a taste of the forest.
There were also specialties from different places that Kakarot and his companions had brought out.
Their variety and unique flavors turned the table into a lavish feast.
All the aromas mingled in the air, making mouths water.
Everyone gathered around and sat together, their laughter and cheerful voices echoing through the night sky like a pleasing melody.
The children laughed and chased one another through the crowd like lively little deer.
Their innocent laughter rang out clear and bright, brimming with boundless energy.
The adults raised their cups and drank freely, talking about past experiences, both amusing and difficult, and their hopes for a wonderful life ahead.
Bailing, Kakarot, and the others naturally joined in,
fully enjoying the simple yet exuberant atmosphere.
At that moment, people from different walks of life were bound closely together by the banquet.
