PDLP Chapter 157 Demonic Banquet
Chapter 157 Demonic Banquet
From Yue Ran's perspective, Feng Xiaolou's entire body was glowing with a light green glow, and his exposed skin was covered with light green snake scales.
What's more, Yue Ran could see Feng Xiaolou's long snake tongue sticking out from his lips from time to time.
Coupled with the way Chu Hantian looked at Feng Xiaolou lovingly beside him, the scene was indescribably weird and absurd.
Yue Ran couldn't bear to look at it and shifted his gaze.
So far, there seems to be good news.
Emperor Shengwen, the Empress Dowager, and his concubines all looked like normal people, and Chu Hantian and his brothers and sisters behind him were also normal people.
On the high platform, the only monster covered in human skin was Feng Xiaolou.
Yue Ran looked around casually.
The bad news was that among the royal family members and officials' families present, there were only a few glimmering shadows, and one or two shining shadows could be seen every few houses.
The true forms of those shadows were mostly snakes, and a few had fat fish heads on their necks.
Si Ning once said that the higher one’s level of Taoism is, the more stable one’s human form is, and the less advanced one’s level of Taoism is, the easier it is to see through.
"If my blood is mixed in, you may not be able to see the most powerful monsters, but those below the Monster King will all show up."
The little girl poked her fingers with needles several times before she came to this conclusion.
If a demon king-level monster really appeared, only Si Ning would be able to see it.
Fortunately, Si Ning looked around for a long time while chewing on the snacks, and never showed any panic.
I guess the demon king is not a cabbage that can be found easily in the market.
Thinking of this, Yue Si Ning suddenly put down the snacks and stood up.
She waved happily towards the distance.
Yue Ran was extremely surprised. The little girl had only been back in Beijing for a few days and she already had friends?
Following Yue Si Ning's line of sight, Yue Ran just happened to see Murong Hui, wearing a dark brocade robe, standing a few dozen steps away, waving and smiling at Yue Si Ning.
Yue Si Ning smiled even more happily. She held Yue Ran's hand and shook it:
"Sister, look, it's that handsome big brother!"
Yue Ran was speechless, so he could only cough lightly and pushed his sister down to sit down:
"Be careful, he is a foreign man after all."
It’s really strange. Si Ning can clearly see that Murong Hui is not an ordinary person, but she still likes him very much.
This man is really good at bewitching people.
Yue Ran unconsciously raised his eyes to look at the young man who stood in the crowd like an inky bamboo.
The golden light from the palace lanterns shone on Murong Hui's face, as if it had been coated with a layer of gold powder, making his eyes look particularly gentle.
The young man kept his eyes on Yue Ran. When he saw her finally raise her eyes, he smiled with relief.
There were many noble ladies at the palace banquet, and many unmarried women couldn't help but stare at Murong Hui for a moment when they saw his smile.
"It's as bright as a jade tree in the wind..."
A young noble lady murmured in admiration.
The sisters Lu Qinya and Lu Qinxiu, who were sitting next to Yue Ran, also nodded ecstatically:
"The breeze brings a smile, I guess this is the kind of smile I'm talking about."
The two of them also dripped their eyes with well water mixed with Yue Si Ning's fingertips' blood. Looking around, they saw strange creatures everywhere.
The magnificent palace banquet was like hundreds of ghosts dressed in human clothes walking at night, which was unbearable to watch.
But they have to act as if nothing has happened, which is a real test of their mentality.
Murong Hui's sudden appearance was so refreshing to them that they felt as if they were breathing a lot fresher.
Yue Ran looked at Murong Hui steadily. In her sight, the latter was still a handsome young man like pine and bamboo. Not to mention the appearance of a monster, he didn't even have any abnormal halo.
If there was any, it was the palace lanterns present that reflected the natural light of Murong Hui's face, which looked pleasing to the eye.
——Therefore, Murong Hui’s strength is at least above that of the Demon King.
Yue Ran lowered his eyes and played with the white jade cup on the table.
After observing the situation from a distance until now, I can be sure that Murong Hui's level must be much higher than Feng Xiaolou's.
But the monsters present were obviously centered around Feng Xiaolou.
They didn't even have any special reaction to Murong Hui, and were obviously unable to detect Murong Hui's identity.
According to legend, the Anxi demon fetus from a hundred years ago would attract demons from all directions to gather around it.
Murong Hui and Feng Xiaolou, who is the demon?
On the surface, Feng Xiaolou meets more of the conditions for being a demon fetus.
However, the orc rebellion has not yet occurred, so nothing can be concluded for the time being.
While he was thinking, there was a slight commotion at the table. Emperor Shengwen also stood up on the high platform and looked down with a smile.
Yue Ran raised her eyes and found that Duan Qingkong and others had also arrived.
She immediately turned to look at Feng Xiaolou, and sure enough, Feng Xiaolou was a step behind Chu Hantian and stood behind him in the shadow, his face instantly turning pale.
Emperor Shengwen did not inform Shenzunmen of their arrival in advance, and Feng Xiaolou was obviously caught off guard.
The strange-looking monsters at the banquet also showed panic expressions and hid behind others to conceal their tracks.
Duan Qingkong, along with Xiao Ce and others, paid their respects to Emperor Shengwen.
Emperor Shengwen quickly gave him a helping hand:
"All the immortals have already transcended the Three Realms. There is no need to perform these mundane rituals."
Duan Qingkong twitched the corner of his mouth, his eyes searching around.
Feng Xiaolou, who looks like Qingyue, is not here tonight?
He felt a little unhappy.
It’s such a pity that such a cold and aloof woman actually married into the Eastern Palace so early, and was just a concubine.
The Chu royal family not only delayed her, but now they are treating her badly!
If she wasn't living well, after catching the demon fetus this time, he would take her away from this cannibalistic palace.
No one knows what Duan Qingkong is thinking.
Behind him, Xiao Ce looked at the jade pendant on his waist and his face became solemn.
It was fine at the palace gate, but the further you went into the palace, the better the quality of the jade pendant became.
Now standing in this palace banquet room, the entire jade token has turned bluish-gray.
There are monsters here, and the demonic aura is very strong!
Xiao Ce raised his head and was about to warn Duan Qingkong, but he heard a low voice from the platform:
"Xiao Lou, what's wrong with you?"
Emperor Shengwen was startled and looked back, only to see Feng Xiaolou, whose face had turned as pale as paper, falling into Chu Hantian's arms.
The Queen Mother was startled and quickly called to the female doctor behind her:
"Ning Xin, hurry up! Go see what happened to Feng Liang Di?"
Ever since being rescued from the palace coup, the empress dowager has only been willing to be nice to Feng Xiaolou in the harem.
Even Emperor Shengwen hadn't seen her smile for a long time.
Feng Xiaolou was not feeling well at the moment, so she had to make a big fuss and ask her most favored female doctor to treat him.
She wanted to show Emperor Shengwen that only those who were truly filial to her could get her care.
Ning Xin had no expression on her face. She took a few quick steps and was about to check Feng Xiaolou's pulse when she heard Duan Qingkong whisper:
"No need, just let me take a look!"
Ning Xin stopped and turned back to the Queen Mother obediently.
She had disliked Feng Xiaolou for a long time, and she would be more than happy if someone was willing to serve Feng Xiaolou for her.
Feng Xiaolou snuggled in Chu Hantian's arms, looking at Duan Qingkong who was approaching with a concerned look on his face, with a weak smile on his face:
"I have to trouble you again, Immortal."
This smile was like a solitary orchid in a valley, beautiful yet fragile, causing Duan Qingkong to feel a pain in his heart.
This damn palace, what tortured her into!
