Wangzu, Want a Seat at the Table?

Let's go then.

As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Changzhi's voice came through, saying:

"Perfect, you don't need to go back, I'm coming."

"Master!"

"Master!"

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and immediately called out to greet them.

"Elder Lu."

Dragon Emperor and Long Yi also spoke up.

After surveying the surroundings, Lu Changzhi looked at the Longwang Clan and said:

"Go and call the other three parties over. Everyone's here now, I'll make the arrangements together."

"Good."

The Longwang Clan readily agreed.

At this moment, Lu Changzhi looked at Gu Chen again and praised him:

"It seems you gained quite a bit from that battle with the Human Race prodigy. And now you've gained something else as well."

Gu Chen nodded and immediately said:

"I should thank my master for his guidance."

Lu Changzhi smiled and said:

"No need for formalities, keep up the good work."

Then, Lu Changzhi's gaze swept over Qin Li, Mu Fan, and the others, and he said:

"I have seen your performance and I am very pleased with it."

"Although I haven't taught you much, you've all done a great job, that's good."

"Oh, Master, what are you saying?"

No sooner had Lu Changzhi finished speaking than Zhong Ming spoke up:

"Quality is more important than quantity. Master, we have all seen and remembered your meticulous teachings."

"Moreover, without our master's teachings and example, we probably wouldn't have learned how to be strong."

As they spoke, Zhong Ming took out two jugs of wine and said:

Your disciple offers you a pot of wine.

Lu Changzhi glanced at Zhong Ming, couldn't help but laugh, gave Zhong Ming a thumbs up, then took the wine pot, clinked glasses in the air, and then both drank it down in one gulp.

After the two finished their drinks, Mu Fan looked at Zhong Ming and said with a touch of emotion:

"Junior Brother Zhong, you're an expert too."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Ming immediately waved his hand and said:

"I just wanted to create a good atmosphere, and things naturally fell into place. I'm just throwing out an idea to get the ball rolling."

Mu Fan didn't say anything more, but turned to look at Luo Ling'er and said:

"Junior Sister Luo, bring the wine. We've already started, so we have to have a round."

"Good."

Luo Ling'er raised her hand and took out several large wine jars. With a gentle push, she propelled the wine jars in front of each person.

Then he said:

"Let's drink heartily, and eat heartily too!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, he took out the previously grilled meat skewers from the pot and distributed them to each person.

At this moment, Bai Po, Zhu Li, and others who had chosen to remain with the Dragon Race also arrived.

Lu Changzhi looked around and gestured:

"One cent per hour?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other.

Then Bai Po spoke up:

"It's alright, seniors, we're not hungry. You guys eat, we'll just discuss some things over there."

Lu Changzhi nodded and said nothing more.

The four directions also secretly began to exchange messages.

"That's wonderful, that wine doesn't look like anything ordinary to me," Zhu Li remarked.

"That's natural," Wu Kan said.

"Since it's from the hand of a senior, how could it be anything less than excellent? It's a pity this isn't an occasion we should be involved in."

All four parties understood this perfectly. It was clearly an exchange between master and disciple, and it was obviously inappropriate for them to get involved.

While the Beast Race don't particularly care about or value Human Race relationships and social niceties, they still need to consider who the other person is. Right now, they need to be more discerning.

Although they are representatives of the four Sacred Beast Race, in terms of identity, status, background, and many other aspects, they clearly do not have the opportunity to be served at the table.

At this moment, Long Yi's expression shifted slightly.

Then he looked at Luo Ling'er and asked her a question via telepathy:

Is it too late?

After receiving a definite answer, Long Yi addressed the Longwang Clan:

"Wangzu, would you like to join us at the table?"

Longwang Clan was taken aback, then immediately said:

"Dragon Ancestor, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

There was still a hint of surprise in his voice.

Whether he participates or not, he already has an answer in his heart.

The Dragon Ancestor actually asked that question?

"Perfect."

Long Yi then spoke.

"I'm too old for the Dragon Race, and my flesh is too tough to eat. As for the other dragons, they're not strong enough, and they don't taste good. The Atavism are raised by Elder Lu, so I definitely can't touch them."

"After this back and forth, Wangzu, you are the perfect age, quite powerful, and also the Dragon Emperor. You are the most suitable."

After Long Yi finished speaking, Longwang Clan's eyes suddenly widened like copper bells, and he quickly transmitted his voice:

"Dragon Ancestor, wait a minute! The meat will be tough and tasteless if it gets dry."

"No, Dragon Ancestor, you mean this should be served?"

Long Yi nodded seriously and said:

"Yes, if serving dishes isn't feasible, then we'll serve food. Besides, look at Bai Po; he's always been very proactive. If our Dragon Race doesn't take the initiative, I'm afraid Elder Lu will gradually become invisible to us."

"This is a chance to show your support, are you still hesitating?"

Longwang Clan shook his head, then brought his dragon tail close to Long Yi, and said with righteous indignation:

"Dragon Ancestor, make your move."

Long Yi looked around, then instead of choosing the spot where the Longwang Clan had pushed their way, he looked towards a slightly higher spot and said:

"The area near the tail might be too flashy, but the back is just right. You'll have to bear with it for now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Long Yi quickly cut a piece of flesh from the Longwang Clan's back.

This sudden scene immediately drew the attention of Bai Po, Zhu Li, and even Lu Changzhi and the others on the other side.

Before anyone could even ask, Long Yi presented the lump of dragon meat to Luo Ling'er and said:

Thank you for your help.

Then Long Yi smiled and looked at Lu Changzhi, saying:

"Add some more dishes. Elder Lu, please continue. If it's not enough, there's more."

Lu Changzhi gave Long Yi a deep look, then glanced at the nonchalant Longwang Clan, gave him a thumbs up, and said:

That's thoughtful of you.

After he finished speaking, a drop of Life Spirit Spring flew out and landed on the wound on the Longwang Clan's back.

Then the eating and drinking continued.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Bai Po and the other beasts were in an uproar, all their eyes fixed on the Longwang Clan and Long Yi, and they exclaimed:

"Good, good, you Dragon Race are really ruthless."

"Can we please stop this competition? It makes us look like we have no sense of propriety."

"This isn't fair! You dragons have so much meat on your bodies, everything tastes delicious. We Vermilion Bird don't have much meat on our bodies, and we don't taste good either. How can we, the Longwang Clan, live like this?"

Faced with the sentiments and criticisms from the three parties, the Longwang Clan echoed Zhong Ming's earlier words, saying:

"The atmosphere was right, I couldn't help myself. This is just a starting point, I'm just throwing out an idea to get the ball rolling."

Upon hearing this, all three parties wore expressions of slight speechlessness.

However, they all knew in their hearts that since the Dragon Race had already done so, there was little point in them doing so as well.

However, unable to think of any better approach at the moment, they could only turn their attention back to "discussing the matter".

After all, Bai Po had just told Elder Lu that they needed to discuss something.

Once the seniors have eaten and drunk their fill, there are some things that need to be explained.

Before long, the people from Hidden Origin Peak had finished eating and drinking.

On the Beast Race side, Zhu Li was also chosen as a representative and spoke up:

"Senior, the Emperor Road is about to begin, and our Beast Race also plans to join forces to help your disciples reach the end of that Emperor Road. We've discussed some ideas and general plans. Senior, would you like to hear them?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi smiled and said:

"I forgot to tell you before, the reason I asked you to come today is because of the Emperor Road."

"You will participate in this Emperor Road, but you don't need to be involved in it."

Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly taken aback.

Qin Li then spoke first and asked:

"Master, what does this mean?"
