Chapter 1033 – Peach Extravaganza
Above the magnificent and atmospheric white jade hall, staggered with lifelike relief stone tables, a plate of exquisite immortal fruits and wine was placed on the table, fresh and tempting.
At this moment, most of the guests had already taken their seats, exchanging cups with each other and talking and laughing, and at the highest place of this grand event, a beautiful woman draped in a gilded and purple patterned divine robe and wearing a phoenix-winged golden crown was sitting quietly on top of the main seat, gazing down at the venue below with a smile on her face.
In front of Lin Qiye’s trio, at the entrance to the venue, a few gorgeously dressed maidservants were standing there, counting the birthday gifts of each guest.
A man with a pagoda in his hand and clad in a red jacket led a teenager with a mixed sky damask in his hand to the door of the event.
”Pagoda Heavenly King Li Jing arrives~”, the maid bowed and bowed to the man, her clear voice echoed in the hall of the pageant, she smiled and received a magnificently packaged box, opened it and glanced at it, once again bowed, and handed the box to another maid behind her.
”Li Jing, the Heavenly King of the Pagoda, presents the Queen Mother with a birthday gift, a ten thousand year old ginseng.”
”The Third Prince Nezha of Chen Tang Pass arrives~”
”Ne Zha presents a birthday gift for Auntie Queen Mother, a Red Training Fire Pill.”
Ne Zha casually threw the fire elixir into the hands of the maid, yawned lazily, and followed Li Jing into the venue.
Lin Qiye in the back saw this scene and the corners of his mouth twitched up slightly.
”Makoto, to enter the Peach Fairgrounds, do you still need to send a birthday gift?” He looked at the Jade Cauldron Realist with a blank expression.
The Jade Cauldron Truly glanced at him, and a surprised look emerged in his eyes, “For the Western Queen Mother’s birthday banquet, of course you need to send a birthday gift before …… coming, didn’t your master prepare it for you?”
”Are you still not clear about that monkey’s temperament?” The Violet Star Monarch was not surprised by this and spoke leisurely, “It’s good that he doesn’t turn this place upside down, how could he still prepare a birthday gift?”
The Jade Tripod Realist frowned slightly, bowing his head in deep thought.
”This is a bit difficult …… I only have a piece of Warm Yang Qiong Jade on me as a birthday gift, and I don’t have anything else to give you.”
As his words fell, he looked at the Violet Star Monarch on the side again.
”Don’t look at me, I only brought my own as well.” The Violet Star Monarch shrugged.
Just as a few people were talking, two more figures walked up to the attendant.
”Taigong Jiang Ziya has arrived~ Jiang Ziya presents a birthday gift for Queen Mother, a divine elixir for the face.”
”Northern Yin Fengdu Emperor arrives~ Fengdu Emperor presents a birthday gift for Queen Mother, one Extreme Yin Yellow Spring Grass.”
Upon hearing these latter words, Lin Qiye subconsciously turned his head to look at the familiar figure clad in black imperial robes, and Emperor Fengdu seemed to have noticed Lin Qiye’s gaze as well, turning around to faintly sweep him.
In terms of appearance, Emperor Fengdu was almost identical to Li Deyang, so it seemed that after falling into reincarnation, the appearance of the gods of the Great Xia did not seem to have changed along with it.
Seeing that Lin Qiye was a new face, Emperor Fengdu withdrew his gaze and calmly walked towards the venue.
Once he was gone like this, Lin Qiye no longer had anyone else in front of him to cover him, and a few maids saw Lin Qiye and were slightly stunned before they still politely opened their mouths:
”May I ask if you are ……”
”He is the disciple that Sun Wukong took in the mortal world, Lin Qiye, who went to the banquet on behalf of his master this time.” The Jade Cauldron Realist opened his mouth and introduced himself.
”So it’s a disciple of the Holy Buddha of Battle, disrespectful.” A flash of surprise flashed through the maid’s eyes, but she still cleared her throat and shouted, “The Western Heavenly Battle Holy Buddha disciple Lin Qiye has arrived~”
The moment these words echoed through the banquet site, the Great Xia gods who were talking enthusiastically suddenly quieted down and simultaneously turned their heads, their expressions oddly sizing up Lin Qiye.
The gods present whispered.
Even the Queen Mother of the West, who was seated on the main seat, raised her eyebrows in surprise and looked towards Lin Qiye at the entrance, her eyes slightly condensed, not knowing what she was thinking.
In full view of everyone, the maid blinked and saw that Lin Qiye didn’t make a move and took the initiative to extend her hand, asking:
”Excuse me, your birthday gift is ……”
Lin Qiye’s brain raced.
He first touched the Tian Cong Yun Sword on his back …… No way, this is a great killing weapon for him and a dependency for fighting across the ranks, it’s too much of a loss to just give it out as a gift!
Then, he looked at the [Zhanbai] on his waist.
No way, this blade had accompanied him for so long, he couldn’t give it away even if he died.
He touched his hands on his body for half a day, and finally touched a hard object at his chest, as if he thought of something, his expression suddenly became odd ……
After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and pulled out a black smart touch screen cell phone from his bosom.
He shoved this cell phone into the attendant’s body.
”This, this is ……” The maid froze in place as she looked at the cell phone between her palms.
”This thing, it’s called a cell phone.” Lin Qiye said with a straight face, “It’s a supreme treasure that I specially sought out from the mortal world and gifted to Queen Mother.”
”Oh …… good.” The maid handed the cell phone behind her and shouted loudly:
”Lin Qiye, a disciple of the Fighting Holy Buddha, presents the Queen Mother with a birthday gift, a cell phone!”
Under the astonished and puzzled gazes of the gods of Daxia, Lin Qiye walked into the venue with an expressionless face, finally breathing a sigh of relief in his heart.
Immediately afterward, the Jade Tripod Goddess and the Violet Star Monarch also presented birthday gifts and walked in.
”Little friend, what exactly is that cell phone?” Violet Star Monarch walked over to Lin Qiye and couldn’t help but ask, “I’ve also walked down to the mortal world for a while, but I’ve never heard of this thing ……”
”Since it’s a mortal treasure, it’s naturally rare and mysterious, it’s normal that you haven’t heard of it.” The Jade Tripod Realist patted his shoulder.
”Let’s go, it’s time for us to take our seats, it’s time to serve the peaches in a while ……”
Hearing the latter half of the sentence, Lin Qiye’s eyes flashed with helplessness.
Peaches, he shouldn’t be able to eat them.
Since everything here is a silhouette of time and has no entity, even if a peach is brought to him, it’s still just an empty shadow of light to him, so he’s not blessed to enjoy it at all. ……
Wait a minute!
Lin Qiye’s footsteps suddenly stopped in place.
As if he thought of something, he jerked his head back and looked at the several maidens at the door who were smilingly receiving the birthday gifts, and a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.
Just now …… they took over their cell phones?
They were physical?
How was this possible?
The stone that was kicked away before, originally existed within the Kunlun Void, which is understandable …… but these maids of honor, how did they manage to have an entity? Aren’t they also shadows that exist in the silhouette of time?
Or is it that
They themselves exist in the real Kunlun Void?
Are they real?
Looking at those gorgeously dressed maids, for some reason, Lin Qiye’s back suddenly oozed with cold sweat and a creepy feeling.
He slowly turned his head to look at this lively and prosperous Peach Festival venue in front of him.
Since those maids of honor, are not all false …… then amongst the time silhouettes of the Great Xia Gods that have settled down in front of him, are there also real Great Xia Gods, mixed amongst them?
