With a mystery swirling in his mind, Yang Zhen followed the woman up to the second floor. The woman smiled sweetly, led Yang Zhen into a luxurious hall, and then disappeared.
To Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat's utter bewilderment, the hall was completely empty.
The magnificent hall was decorated with gold and jade, and everywhere there were extremely rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Even the tables and chairs were made of rare Hu Ironwood, which was very valuable in the hands of a weapon refiner and could be used to make five-star or even six-star weapons.
On a huge table in the middle of the hall was an extremely lavish spread of food, which surprised Yang Zhen when he saw it.
"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, kid, is this the legendary Ten Thousand Flowers Banquet?" The Shameless Cat's eyes widened, drooling all over the place as he spoke.
Yang Zhen had heard about the Ten Thousand Flowers Banquet on Donglin Island. The various dishes were made with all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, which were not only extremely delicious, but also had terrifying effects on cultivators.
Cultivators who have finished the Ten Thousand Flowers Banquet will see their cultivation speed increase nearly threefold within three days. Both their comprehension and their perception of the energy of heaven and earth will be enhanced for a period of time. It is a meal that all cultivators on Ten Thousand Flowers Island and even along the coast of the East Sea dream of.
Such a meal would naturally attract many cultivators, but it was far too extravagant. Many people couldn't even afford a single Ten Thousand Flowers Banquet with all the crystals they saved up in a year.
Of course, the Ten Thousand Flowers Banquet is much more precious than a year's worth of crystals. Many cultivators will save up for two years or even longer to enjoy a Ten Thousand Flowers Banquet, just for these three days. These three days are used to break through, comprehend Cultivation Method and martial arts, or even other things, and they will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Now, a whole table of Ten Thousand Flowers Banquet was laid out in front of Yang Zhen and Shameless Cat. Yang Zhen's mouth watered at the sight, not to mention Shameless Cat true foodie.
Anything Yang Zhen casually created, even if it had no cultivation effect, the Shameless Cat would devour it completely, let alone this Ten Thousand Flowers Banquet.
Yang Zhen looked around, even using his Divine Sense sense to scan the surroundings, but found no one else there, which made him feel a little strange.
This mysterious man went to great lengths to Ten Thousand Flowers Banquet, yet he hasn't shown up yet. Yang Zhen can't guess what this mysterious man is up to. Could it be a test to see if Yang Zhen is a true foodie?
"Kid, watch out! I have a bad feeling about this place!" The Shameless Cat looked around warily, but its four legs moved involuntarily toward the table, and it leaped onto it.
Yang Zhen rolled her eyes. Anyone could tell there was a problem here, you didn't even need to bring it up...
"Damn it, shut up!" Yang Zhen was furious when he saw that the Shameless Cat had grabbed a plate from the table and put it in his mouth without saying a word. He slapped the Shameless Cat across the face.
The Shameless Cat stuck its mouth into a pot of soup. It felt Yang Zhen slap it, but before it could pull its mouth out, it used its two hind legs to push off, slid half a circle around its head, landed perfectly, and then slurped up the soup.
Enraged, Yang Zhen was about to grab the spineless creature when he heard the Shameless Cat say indistinctly, "Boy, there's definitely something strange here. I told you I'd lead the way this time, so don't worry, I'll test this dish for poison!"
As he said this, the Shameless Cat had already devoured several dishes of food and was now gulping down most of a pot of porridge.
"Damn it!" Yang Zhen glared, "Are you a reincarnated starving ghost?"
Seeing that the Shameless Cat was eating faster and faster, Yang Zhen hurriedly plunged into the table, specifically picking out high-energy dishes, and soon his mouth Liu You from eating.
A moment later, Yang Zhen looked at the Shameless Cat with a smug expression, patted his big belly, leaned back in his seat, and let out a satisfied burp.
The Shameless Cat, equally defiant, patted its belly and lay on the stool, looking at Yang Zhen expression.
They each ate half, leaving only the last bowl of soup. They turned their heads at the same time and stared intently at it.
"One!" Yang Zhen squinted his eyes!
"Two!" The Shameless Cat sat up!
Before they could finish speaking, they heard the sound of the hall door opening beside them.
The man and the cat's expressions changed simultaneously. They quickly sat up straight, stuffed the tablecloth around their necks, and sat upright, fork in one hand and spoon in the other.
"This... this... this..."
A bewildered voice rang out, followed by a pleasant chuckle. The person and the cat turned around and were immediately stunned.
Three people walked in. The woman in the lead wore a long robe that was as light and sheer as gauze, with a touch of allure. In particular, her appearance was mature yet with a hint of foxy charm. Her phoenix eyes had a perfectly shimmering, captivating gaze that made one unable to look away.
Beside him, a middle-aged man stared blankly at the mess on the table, his lips trembling incessantly.
A young girl next to the middle-aged man covered her mouth, trying to suppress her laughter, and looked down at Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat with a face full of curiosity.
Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat exchanged a glance, then turned their gazes to the woman in the long robe. Almost simultaneously, they nodded slightly, revealing a refined and scholarly smile, as elegant as a literary scholar.
The young woman in the long robe chuckled, sat down opposite the man and the cat, looked at Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat, and said, "Gentlemen, I wonder if this Ten Thousand Flowers Banquet suits your taste?"
Yang Zhen wiped away his drool with utmost elegance and chuckled, "Let's not beat around the bush. I like... ptooey, let's start again. Let's not beat around the bush. This dish isn't very good. So, what do you want from me?"
A strange look flashed in the woman's eyes. She giggled, and the foxy charm in her eyes was as fiery as the Fire Essence of Ten Thousand Flowers Island. She stared at Yang Zhen and said, "As expected of Yang Zhen, quick-witted and outspoken. I like talking to people like you."
Yang Zhen curled her lip. "I don't really like talking to people who beat around the bush either. Girl, just say what you mean, otherwise all the food you prepared might be for nothing."
The woman in the long robe nodded and asked, "What brings you to Ten Thousand Flowers Island?"
Yang Zhen was taken aback, and instead of answering, asked, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"Of course it's the truth!"
Yang Zhen nodded. "I came to Ten Thousand Flowers Island to find the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness. I always felt that there was some connection between me and the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness, maybe we're relatives."
"Puff!"
The Shameless Cat spat out a mouthful of soup all over the table, staring at Yang Zhen with a horrified expression, as if to say, "You're really good at bragging!"
Yang Zhen gave the Shameless Cat a look that said "you flatter me," and waited for the stunned woman in the long robe to reply.
Yang Zhen responded with a series of silvery laughs, a voice that seemed to pierce straight to the heart, making Yang Zhen feel like he was being scratched by a cat. He quickly focused his mind, thinking to himself that this was no small matter.
"You're the most interesting person I've ever met!" The woman in the long robe looked Yang Zhen up and down with great interest, and said, "Coincidentally, I'm also looking for you because of the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness. I need you to help me find something, and if possible, kill a few people."
Yang Zhen stood up, picked up the Shameless Cat, and turned to leave. "Sorry, I'm a very low-key person. I don't really like doing things involving fighting and killing. If you'd like to have some romance and listen to some music, I might be happy to oblige. Goodbye!"
Behind the woman in the long robe, the middle-aged man frowned as he watched Yang Zhen leave without warning. He was about to speak when the woman in the long robe stopped him.
"This little guy doesn't seem to have anything special about him, so why did Master ask me to find him?"
"Miss, are we just going to let them leave like that?"
"Don't worry, knowing his personality, Ten Thousand Flowers Island will definitely be in chaos within three days, and then he'll come looking for us."
" Yang Zhen has an eccentric personality. If he causes trouble on Ten Thousand Flowers Island, only Miss and Elder Gu can protect him. I've heard that he and Elder Gu seem to have some connection."
" Elder Gu can't worry about him right now. By the way, is there any other news about the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness?"
"Nothing yet, but someone saw a crimson light at the Ten Thousand Blades Mountain, and suspects it's related to the Emperor Mark of the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness. Quite a few people have already headed in that direction."
