"See, I told you I'm handsome, but you wouldn't believe me."

"Now you believe it, even the immortals praised my good looks!"

At the banquet, the Flaming Toad stood in the center, its neck stiff, and smugly addressed the assembled demons.

The demons turned their heads away, unable to bear to look.

"good! "

A baby crocodile clapped its little paws nearby, clearly showing its support.

"snort! "

At this moment, the Flaming Toad became even more smug, and began to look down at his sworn brothers with his chin.

"Immortal's words are golden and precious. I'd like to see who in the Sesame Sauce Mountains will dare to say that my Flaming Vermilion Toad is disgusting in appearance from now on."

handsome!

Did I use this "word"?

Qin Shou was slightly taken aback, but he didn't dwell on the matter too much.

........

At this moment, Changsheng stood frozen in place, holding a wine cup, beside a bamboo table at the head of the table on the left.

Yi Cheng has truly achieved the Golden Core stage!

How is that possible?

That's impossible!

How could someone as foolish as Yi Cheng possibly form a golden core?

But if even someone as foolish as Yi Cheng can form a Golden Core, then what about me...?

"Waaah........."

After understanding the whole story, Changsheng burst into tears.

But today is the joyous day of his junior sister's Golden Core formation, so he can't be as pathetic as usual and run back to the back mountain to wipe away his tears alone.

...

"Hahaha, we, the thirteen demons of Sesame Sauce Mountain, congratulate Sister Yi Cheng on achieving her Golden Core!"

As the banquet began, the thirteen demons of Majiang Mountain rose to their feet and raised their glasses to congratulate Yi Cheng on becoming a Golden Core cultivator.

After more than ten years of fighting, these powerful demons and Yi Cheng and the others have become quite familiar with each other.

"Thank you all for coming to the goose's feast. The goose's finished, you can all help yourselves."

Yi Cheng stood in the center of the banquet, holding a wine jar, and began to drink it with great gusto.

Seeing this, Qin Shou shook his head with amusement.

At this moment, Yi Cheng looked quite like the host of the banquet.

"Haha, Sister Cheng is so generous! We'll do it too!"

The thirteen demons of Majiang Mountain also hugged their wine jars and shouted, "Respect to Sister Cheng!" before drinking heartily.

Compared to their initial restraint upon ascending the mountain, these powerful demons were noticeably more relaxed this time.

They knew that the immortal was kind, and they also knew that although Yi Cheng loved to fight and was a bit stupid, he was not bad. On the contrary, he was very pure-hearted and seemed to be still in the stage of a human child.

"Drink, drink, drink up~~"

After a round of drinks, Yi Cheng appeared to be somewhat drunk.

She was seen carrying a wine jar and running happily around the banquet.

"La la la la, the goose has formed a golden elixir!"

"Master, the goose has formed a golden elixir!" (ˊˋ)

Yi Cheng ran up to Qin Shou and stood in front of him.

Qin Shou patted Yi Cheng's head, then gave him a thumbs-up and praised him:

"Master understands, Yi Cheng, you're amazing!"

"Goose, goose, goose..."

Yi Cheng pinched her chubby waist, her shoulders shaking with pride.

Then he glanced at his senior brother and continued running around the banquet.

Changsheng: ...Why is she looking at me like that?

"Master, why is Junior Sister looking at me like that?"

Does she look down on me?

"Waaah~, my junior sister looks down on me!"

Changsheng howled.

"No, no, I assure you, your junior sister absolutely did not mean to mock you. She was just looking at the roast chicken on your table."

"Really, Master?"

"Really, I guarantee it. Otherwise, think about it, your junior sister is such a silly person, how could she possibly know what such a sophisticated word as 'mocking' means?"

"Yes, Master, you're right. I misunderstood Junior Sister. I must punish myself with three cups."

As he spoke, Changsheng picked up the wine cup on the table and drank it.

"Phew~"

Qin Shou wiped his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Little Fatty, seeing this, also stood up from beside the banquet table, hopping and skipping after Yi Cheng, holding up a large purple crystal grape in one hand and cheering:

“La la la la…”

"Yi Cheng, you've achieved Golden Core!"

“La la la la…”

"Yi Cheng, you've achieved Golden Core!"

"Wow~, Little Fatty, the goose has formed a golden core!"

Yi Cheng turned around and jumped back, raising her little paws to pretend to be a tiger and scare Xiao Pang.

"Wow! Yi Cheng, you scared me!"

For some reason, Little Fatty seemed to have become smarter tonight, and even cooperated with the performance.

"Really? Goose, goose, goose... Goose is scary, isn't it?"

"Mmm, scary."

Little Fatty nodded, then followed behind Yi Cheng, continuing to jump around, "Wow, Yi Cheng, you've formed your Golden Core... Wow, Yi Cheng, you've formed your Golden Core..."

"Squeak squeak squeak—"

Seeing this, Black Rabbit joined the group, jumping side by side with Little Fatty, their long ears and tongues twitching rhythmically.

"Wow—Yi Cheng, you've achieved Golden Core!"

"Wow—Yi Cheng, you've achieved Golden Core!"

Qin Beast: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Chang Sheng: I envy my junior sister a hundred times over!

Xiao Siwu: ...............Looks so silly.

"................."

Seeing this, the other great demons all stood up, lined up from largest to smallest, and followed behind Little Fatty and Black Rabbit's group. They hopped on their left legs, then kicked with their right feet, raised their arms, and cheered in unison:

"Oh my! Sister Yi Cheng! You've achieved Golden Core!"

"Oh my! Sister Yi Cheng! You've achieved Golden Core!"

"Oh my! Sister Yi Cheng! You've achieved Golden Core!"

“..............”

? ? ? ? ?

Just as Qin Shou was about to get up, he saw his little apprentice casting a surprised look at him, as if to say, "No way, Master, you're not going to go up there and do something stupid too, are you? Surely not..."

"Cough cough,"

Qin Shou coughed twice, shifted the stool he was sitting on, and complained, "What a lousy stool this is, it needs to be replaced."

"Come on, Changsheng, let's drink."

Qin Shou raised his wine cup and drank with Changsheng.

Xiao Siwu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his master wasn't that naive. Otherwise, if his master had already jumped up, would he have been left wondering whether to jump up or not...?

After several rounds of drinks, the atmosphere at the banquet was harmonious. A fox that had transformed into a human drank a lot of spirit wine and became quite flirtatious, even sending flirtatious glances to the Qin beast.

Qin Shou immediately raised his eyebrows and scolded the fox demon to sit in the last row.

"Are you kidding me? I don't even care about beauties at the Nascent Soul stage, let alone a mere newly transformed fox spirit like you trying to disturb my Dao heart."

Hmph, they're simply overestimating themselves.

Wait, she looks like she has a tail!

Bah! What nonsense! Who am I?!

The demons were so frightened by Qin's shout that they were half-sobered up.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, I was just clearing my throat."

"Let's continue dancing to the music!"

Qin Shou waved his hand, and the atmosphere at the banquet was instantly ignited again.

"In their infancy, demons were inherently good. Their natures were similar, but their habits diverged."

"A dog's nature will change if it is not trained. The key to successful training is to focus on one thing at a time."

"................"

At midnight, the moon hung high in the sky.

At the brightly lit banquet on Turtle Mountain, the Fiery Vermilion Toad volunteered to recite the Three Character Classic, adapted by the Qin Beast, for him.

To be honest, the way he shook his head and swayed his body really did resemble a human scholar.

However, if he were to pass the imperial examination in the capital, he might face the execution of his entire family during the palace interview.
