Ji Yuan did not know that the water tribesman had approached him because he recognized him as the immortal who had wielded lightning arts at the Myriad Demon Feast in Black Wasteland. He merely paid the water tribesman a little more attention before heading toward the Dragon Palace.
Around the Riverside Banquet grounds, more and more tables had taken shape. More and more Fish Maidens streamed through the area, setting out platters of prepared food and carrying over jars upon jars of sealed fine wine.
Though this amount of food and wine was merely enough to fill the gaps between the teeth of these water tribes in their true forms, the Dragon Transformation Banquet was an excellent social occasion for the water tribes, as well as a chance to witness Ying Ruoli's magnificent transformation into a dragon.
"Mister Ji, you're here! Please hurry with this humble one to the Dragon Palace's main hall. You said you were going out for a stroll, but then vanished for most of the day. The banquet will begin tonight—if Dragon Lord cannot find you, he will definitely punish this humble one!"
Seeing the Yaksha hurry over, bowing and urging him at once, Ji Yuan did not make things difficult for him.
"All right, all right, let's go. But speaking of which, where has that boy Ying Feng gone? I haven't seen him at all."
"Uh, Your Highness should be at the Tongtian River's estuary right now, waiting for Lady Ying to return from the sea."
"Oh."
Ji Yuan nodded, lifting his gaze toward the river surface overhead. Even through layer upon layer of river water, he could still sense immortal light streaking across above.
"Mister Ji, this way, please!"
"Mm."
Ji Yuan did not wander off again and directly headed back with the Yaksha.
