Chapter 24 Celebration Banquet! (4.7K for further reading)
That night, a big banquet was held at Ji Le Tower and the city lord's mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion is not a big place, so it is just a matter of having fun with the people, allowing the butler Zhang Lian to celebrate with the servants, government servants, etc. of the City Lord's Mansion. The real home venue is to reserve one of the Ji Le Twin Towers.
"congratulations!"
"Lord City Lord! Congratulations!"
It was night, and almost everyone in Jingan City came to Ji Le Tower to support him.
Li Xun changed cups and accepted toasts from people from all walks of life.
No matter what attitude they had towards Li Xun before, at this moment, these thorny people who caused headaches to the court and the world all showed full respect for Li Xun.
Whether it was Li Xun's own young master's powerful strength, or the surge of power under the command of the City Lord's Mansion after he conquered everyone in the mining area, no one dared to underestimate him in the slightest.
"boom!!"
A muffled sound came from the hall downstairs, and Liu Yong arrived with Wang Xu and a group of miners from the mine.
I saw that they had brought ten large boxes, and the spiritual light inside was transparent, exuding amazing spiritual energy.
"Lord City Lord, here are the spiritual stones you won by betting on our odds."
Liu Yong cupped his fists and raised his hands towards Li Xun, and said, "It's a total of 100,000 yuan, please keep it!"
"good."
Li Xun nodded slightly, waved his hand, and put them all into the Qiankun bag at his waist, and then said with a smile: "Take your brothers and sit down!"
"We'll come back later to toast you, sir."
Liu Yong cupped his hands, turned around and took Wang Xu and the others, who were bruised and swollen beside him, to find the empty seats next to them.
Many people stared at the storage bag hanging on Li Xun's waist, their eyes uncontrollably hot.
That’s a hundred thousand spiritual stones!
It is enough to maintain the expenses and operations of many first- and second-rate sects for a whole year!
But when they thought of Li Xun's terrifying strength and the bruised faces and limping appearance of Wang Xu's miners, the greed in their hearts suddenly felt like being poured over by a bucket of cold water.
Everyone calmly calmed down.
Taking advantage of a young master?
Do you think you have a long life?
"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."
Li Xun looked at the kitten girl Zi Yin beside him who was eating without raising his head, smiled fondly, and said: "Don't just stare at the fish, eat it with some staple food, vegetables, carbohydrates, and vitamins
The intake of dietary fiber and dietary fiber is also very important. As you grow, your nutrition must be balanced."
"What are carbohydrates and what are vitamins?"
Zi Yin raised her head, rolled her tongue, sucked in a small piece of fish meat on her lips, and asked Li Xun curiously.
"Uh...carbohydrate is, this..."
Li Xun pondered for a moment, thinking about how to make a half-demon girl understand carbohydrates.
But after a moment, he gave up.
Because from Zi Yin's expectant little eyes, he could feel that in Zi Yin's heart, no matter what she told her, she would definitely classify it as delicious food that she had never heard of before.
of.
While he was talking, the sound of silk and bamboo in the restaurant suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
"Why don't you play this song anymore?"
Everyone who was changing cups was stunned, and they all frowned and asked questions.
"The owner of Ji Le is here!"
A loud shout suddenly sounded from the top floor.
Then, two rows of maids in pink skirts with a thin layer of powder came out and lined up neatly on both sides of the stairs, holding fragrant flower baskets in their hands. After standing still, they all put on graceful dancers' postures.
Before everyone could figure out what was going on, they heard the sound of silk, bamboo and wind music playing again. The maids on both sides of the stairs twisted their waists to the music and raised their hands to lift up the fresh petals still stained with water drops in the basket.
It fell from mid-air like a colorful rain of petals.
"Wow!"
When the song reached an exciting point, a maid suddenly waved her jade arm, and a slender sleeve of water flowed out along with her arm, drawing a melodious arc in the air, as if a rainbow bridge was set up in the rain of petals.
Immediately afterwards, another maid diagonally opposite her also imitated her movements, danced out her water sleeves, and built another rainbow bridge.
"It's pleasing to the eye, tsk tsk tsk, it's really pleasing to the eye!"
"As expected of the mysterious owner of Ji Le, the pomp and ceremony of his appearance is so grand."
"Don't think that these maids are just interested in useless vases. Look at the way they wave the petals and the water sleeves they dance out to keep them in mid-air. These are all signs of their cultivation!"
"Indeed, these twenty or so maids have at least the cultivation level of the body training realm!"
The guests sitting down were talking a lot, admiring and sighing at the strength of Le Lou.
Just the maid who prepared the stage before the appearance of Master Ji Le, she found more than twenty monks in the physical training realm!
You know, even in Jingan City where fish and dragons are mixed, monks in the body-forging realm can still make a living as long as they don't commit suicide.
"Brother, Ji Lelou is indeed a force that can compete with our brothers in the mining area!"
Over at the mining area, Wang Xu rubbed his dark eyes, looked at the maids on both sides of the stairs, smacked his lips and said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, let's enjoy the dance of the female cultivator in the physical training realm, brother, let's
Have you caught up with the treatment of those dog officials in Kyoto?"
"See more, talk less."
Liu Yong picked up the wine glass in his hand and said calmly: "The owner of Ji Le is as mysterious as the boss behind the black market. He basically never shows up. He suddenly shows up tonight. I don't know if he is well-intentioned. I'll just play by ear when the time comes."
.”
"Okay!"
Wang Xu nodded, and then he hesitated and said: "Brother, will our brothers really follow this Li Xun from now on?"
"I know you are still a little uncomfortable with it, but do we have a better choice?"
Liu Yong rolled his eyes at Wang Xu angrily and said, "I'm okay. Anyway, I've seen everything I'm supposed to see in this life, but there are so many young guys among my brothers. They shouldn't be buried in this world all their lives."
This Jingan City is buried in the pile of stones in the mining area."
"Okay, big brother just decides!"
Wang Xu raised his neck and took a big gulp of wine, saying no more words.
"Snapped!"
While Wang Xu and Liu Yong were talking, eight strong men jumped down from the roof, and eight of them appeared carrying a large sedan chair and a precious chair.
I saw these eight people steadily carrying the throne with their shoulders. Although the strong man looked strong, he seemed to have no weight. He came across the Hongqiao with soft water sleeves like a light bird.
And he walked steadily, as if he were really stepping on the ground!
"Oh my goodness! What a light kung fu!!"
"Amazing!"
"A man as strong as a glaring King Kong can actually fly across a girl's sleeves. It's amazing! It's amazing!"
"I seem to have an impression of these eight people! Could they be the Eight Great Snitches who were once famous in the world?"
Someone in the audience exclaimed, eyes widening in disbelief, revealing the identity of the eight people carrying the seat!
"With this peerless light skill, the cultivation level is only one step behind the master, and there are eight people traveling together. Yes, besides the eight great snitches back then, who else could it be?!"
As soon as these words came out, many people immediately thought about it and exclaimed.
The cultivation of these eight people are all at the peak of Baichuan Realm, and when it comes to Qinggong, they are unparalleled in the world. The eight brothers are in the same spirit, and they have once created an unparalleled limelight in the world.
This caused great headaches to the wealthy families and the imperial government, and no one was caught despite offering rewards for many years.
After that, these eight people suddenly disappeared. Unexpectedly, they arrived in Jing'an City and worshiped under the command of Master Ji Le.
"The Eight Great Snitches?"
Li Xun also had a hint of interest in his eyes.
From the memory of the original owner, he learned that these eight people went to the palace compound in Kyoto when they were at their peak and stole a personal item belonging to the eldest prince, mother and concubine, which angered his old emperor.
Father Longyan was furious and issued sea arrest documents to all government offices.
However, it is obvious that Jingan City, a chaotic city like a meat grinder, does not need to be issued. Of course, even if it is issued, it will be useless.
"Well, let Yu'er ask carefully later to find out what important things they stole from the eldest prince, mother and concubine."
Li Xun chuckled lightly.
"I didn't expect these eight people to be from Jilelou."
A solemn look appeared on Liu Yong's face, and he murmured: "If there is a conflict in the future, even if my lord and I join forces, I'm afraid we won't be able to kill them all. Ji Lelou is really tricky."
…”
"Brother, aren't these eight people just snitches? Are they so powerful?"
Wang Xu asked.
"What do you know? Although the eight of them are not grandmasters, in their early years when they were unparalleled in the world, they were top-notch players who were just one step behind the grandmaster."
Liu Yong said: "If the eight of them join forces, even I won't be able to get any advantage. What's more, with their light skills, if they want to leave, I can say that there is no way at all. Isn't this tricky enough?"
"This is indeed trouble."
Wang Xu also frowned and murmured: "And these eight of them are at the top of the Baichuan Realm, plus the two stewards of the Twin Towers, and a storyteller, they are a total of eleven masters of the Baichuan Realm.
Well, even if we don’t count the mysterious Lord Ji Le, they have two more monks in the Baichuan Realm than in our mining area.”
Originally, in the mining area, in addition to the boss Liu Yong, who was the master, he also had ten masters of the Baichuan Realm under his command.
It's just that the second oldest bearded guest Meng Hu died under Li Xun's sword last night, so now there are only nine people left.
"Ji Le Lou should not be underestimated, but there is no need to belittle oneself too much."
Liu Yong said in a deep voice: "Now that we have surrendered to the lord, if we wait for the fox demon lady named Luo Li next to him to come back, the combined strength will be able to surpass Ji Lelou. The lord wants to rectify Jing'an.
What I fear most is not them..."
Just when Liu Yong and Wang Xu were calculating the strength of both sides, the Eight Snitches had already arrived in front of Li Xun in the blink of an eye, carrying the precious chairs on their shoulders.
"boom!"
With a muffled sound, they all firmly removed the precious chair from their shoulders and placed it on the open space in front of Li Xun's desk.
"Welcome to the host!"
Then, the eight great snitches who were once famous in the world all retreated to the side at the same time, knelt down on one knee in front of the curtained throne, bowed their heads and shouted respectfully.
"Today is obviously Brother Li Xun's celebration party, but you have stolen all the limelight, you stinking snake!"
Zi Yin looked at the extremely majestic throne, bit down hard on the hoof in her hand, rubbed her little tiger teeth, and said to herself angrily.
She knew that the owner of Ji Le Building was the White Snake Lady Yu'er, and also knew that Li Xun had secretly conquered her. Now seeing Yu'er making such a grand appearance, she was so angry that even the delicacies in her hands didn't taste that good.
Already.
"Jingle Bell!"
Accompanied by a pleasant ringing sound, a snow-white jade hand stretched out from behind the curtain of the throne.
As the curtain was slowly opened, the silver bell tied to the edge shook. The beauty behind the curtain slowly appeared in front of people under the sound of the bell, like a fairy from the Nine Heavens descending to the mortal world.
Yu'er used her true appearance this time, but used makeup to modify some of her body features of the White Snake Lady, so that no one could tell the difference.
Her black hair was tied up high, and she wore a flying crested hairpin that matched gold and jade. She painted her eyebrows and decorated her eyes with several crystal drop-shaped tear diamonds at the left corner of her eye.
Her red lips are as red as fire, her teeth are bright, and she wears a necklace made of several high-quality spiritual stones inlaid in series around her neck, covering the depth of her chest, but it also makes that touch of snow-white stand out even more.
Eye-catching.
The floor-length dress outlines a graceful figure, which is concave and convex without losing grace and elegance.
She is a completely sexy and cold-tempered queen!
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
Countless chopsticks fell to the ground, and the sound of shattering wine glasses resounded all around.
Everyone present could not help but open their mouths and eyes, staring blankly at Yu'er's grand appearance, unable to extricate themselves for a long time.
Even Li Xun, who had been trained by Luo Li to have an extremely high immunity to beautiful women, couldn't help but feel lost for a moment after seeing Yu'er.
"It turns out that the extremely mysterious owner of Ji Le is actually a woman?!"
"Oh my God! A female prostitute can control a dozen of the masters of Baichuan Realm below her. What kind of strength and skill does this have!"
"Incredible, incredible!"
Discussions suddenly started, and everyone looked at Yu'er in amazement. They couldn't help but wonder where she got such great ability, and she was able to open this landmark restaurant in Jing'an City, which is famous for chaos.
Jile Twin Towers.
"The little girl and Yu'er, the owner of the music building, pay homage to His Highness Prince Jing."
Under everyone's gaze, Yu'er bowed to Li Xunyingying in front of her, and her clear and ethereal voice floated in the silent lobby.
"Today is a big day for the Lord of the City to celebrate his achievements, so naturally the little girl should be there no matter what."
As soon as Yu'er raised her hand, a maid next to her brought drinks.
"Then today, I, the owner of Jile Tower, will be the first to offer a glass of wine to His Highness Prince Jing."
Yu'er held the cup with both hands, while she knelt down and bowed her head, respectfully raised the cup above her head, and said: "Congratulations to the Lord of the City for your complete victory in the Grandmaster Battle and for becoming the youngest number one Grandmaster of our Jingan City.
Strong!"
Seeing Yu'er's posture, the pupils of everyone present could not help but shrink again, and everyone's expressions showed a hint of shock.
The owner of Ji Le is extremely mysterious and never appears in public.
This time, King Jing Li Xun aspired to become the strongest grandmaster in Jing'an, and the celebration banquet was held in Ji Le Building. She came out to congratulate him, but it didn't really matter. At most, it was just to give Li Xun some face.
However, looking at Yu'er's posture, how could this be an ordinary congratulations and toast?
Kneel down, bow down, bow your head, and raise the cup to the top with both hands.
This is clearly a great gift from a subordinate to his master!
"What does it mean?"
The people present were all people from the world, and they were all masters who took one step at a time and thought three steps ahead. Seeing Yu'er's move, everyone's minds suddenly became active.
"Is Jilelou expressing his position in public?"
"Oh my god! No way? After conquering the mining area on the outskirts of the city, Ji Lelou will also submit to Prince Jing?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this Ji Le building owner, doesn't he have a crush on Prince Jing?"
"It's very possible! The young grandmaster is another talented person and is of royal blood. How can he not please a woman?"
"Is this Prince Jing? If he doesn't take action, he will do it with a series of big moves?!"
"In this case, it seems that Jing'an City, which has been in chaos for so many years, is really expected to achieve stability!"
"In that case, should I hurry up and take refuge? The future will be faster and faster!"
Everyone in the hall had mixed thoughts for a while, and everyone secretly speculated.
Li Xun held the wine glass and drank with Yu'er with a smile.
He didn't need to do anything, and he was carried by Yu'er to the point where everyone looked up, wondered, and feared. Many people even immediately thought of surrendering on the spot!
“Performing well.”
Li Xun raised his neck and poured a glass of wine into his throat. He looked at Yu'er, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and lowered his voice and said, "Also, you are beautiful tonight."
Yu'er's red lips parted slightly, and she smiled.
In an instant, it seemed as if the lights of the entire Jile Tower were all outshone by her smile...
