Wen Zhong looked at Kong Xuan in disbelief, only to find that Kong Xuan's expression was even more shocked than his own, and he immediately began to believe Mengmeng's words.

“General Kong…” Wen Zhong called out softly.

Only then did Kong Xuan come to his senses, looking at the incredibly cute little guy in front of him with disbelief.

"Little...little girl...how...how did you figure that out?" Kong Xuan stammered, her eyes filled with disbelief.

To know his true identity, one would need to be someone who knew him in ancient times or a saint to see through him. But the child in front of him clearly seemed to be neither of those things, so how could he not be alarmed?

Mengmeng tilted her little head, licked the pastry crumbs on her hand, and then pointed to her little nose.

"I could smell it!"

Kong Xuan was at a loss for words, wondering what kind of explanation this was. He wasn't some domesticated chicken, duck, goose, or dog.

Immediately afterwards, Mengmeng jumped onto the table, took short steps to Kong Xuan, and nuzzled her head toward him.

For some reason, Kong Xuan felt a strange sense of unease and unconsciously leaned back.

"Hehe..." Mengmeng revealed a mischievous smile, her big, dark eyes staring at Kong Xuan.

"I've never eaten peacock before!" the little guy said, licking his lips.

"Oh dear, Mengmeng, you're too naughty. You mustn't talk nonsense." Wen Zhong, who was standing nearby, quickly interrupted, afraid that Kong Xuan would get angry and make things difficult for the child.

"Hmph... I was just telling the truth, I've never eaten it before!" the little guy retorted, clearly dissatisfied.

Wen Zhong quickly looked at Kong Xuan, wanting to say a few words of advice, but found that Kong Xuan's face was pale, and large beads of sweat kept falling from his face, like a farmer who had just finished working in the fields in the hottest days of summer.

"General Kong, are you alright?" Wen Zhong asked with concern.

However, what Wen Zhong didn't know was that the moment Mengmeng said those words, a scene appeared in Kong Xuan's mind: he, who had returned to his original form, was being pinned to the ground and having his feathers plucked, and the person plucking his feathers was the child in front of him. The pain of the feathers leaving his body felt incredibly real, and it even made his body react, causing goosebumps to rise all over his body.

"Giggle giggle..."

"Look how scared you are. They were just teasing you."

Suddenly, Mengmeng covered her mouth and laughed.

"How could this be? How could this happen? This child... how could this child make me lose my composure like this?" Kong Xuan thought in surprise as he looked at the smiling Mengmeng.

Just then, a spatial fluctuation appeared nearby, and three figures appeared. One of them was Dongfang Bubai, and next to her were two beautiful women, each carrying a tray full of fine wine and delicacies.

"Mengmeng, what are you doing here?" Dongfang Bubai saw Mengmeng standing on the table, walked over and picked her up.

"This... I'm playing hide-and-seek," the little guy said, his eyes darting around.

Dongfang Bubai shook his head helplessly, then gestured to the two women behind him to serve the dishes.

Soon, the table was filled with things, and Dongfang Bubai waved his hand, and the two beauties disappeared again in an instant.

"I'm sorry, General Kong, Mengmeng didn't cause any trouble, did she?" Dongfang Bubai said.

"Uh...no...no," Kong Xuan quickly replied.

"That's good, please make yourselves at home." After saying that, Dongfang prepared to leave with Mengmeng in his arms.

"No, I want to play a little longer." After saying that, Mengmeng broke free from Dongfang's arms like a mudfish and then slipped behind Kong Xuan to hide.

"Oh dear, Miss Dongfang, it's alright. You go ahead and do your thing. I haven't seen Miss Mengmeng in a long time either. Let her stay and play," Wen Zhong quickly said.

Dongfang gave Mengmeng a warning look, then turned and disappeared.

"Hehehe..." Mengmeng made a face at the spot where the east disappeared.

"Wow, braised lion's head meatballs, crystal pork knuckle, crispy pork belly, honey bear paws, these are all my favorite dishes."

Mengmeng looked at the table and her eyes lit up.

"Haha, sit down, sit down, let's eat together."

"General Kong, please have a taste, it's delicious."

Wen Zhong quickly greeted them.

"I won't be polite!" Mengmeng said, reaching out to grab a bear paw and starting to nibble on it.

"Phew..." Kong Xuan took a deep breath, gradually came back to his senses, and began to eat as well.

"Hmm..."

"Good, delicious," Kong Xuan praised.

"See? I didn't lie to you, did I? Let me tell you, this braised lion's head is a specialty of this restaurant. Ordinary people can't get it at all. This is only because Miss Dongfang is giving me face." Wen Zhong stroked his beard with a proud look on his face.

Soon, the three of them devoured the food on the table. At this point, Kong Xuan was no longer as afraid of Mengmeng as before. How could such a cute child be so terrifying? He must have been hallucinating. Yes, it must be because he had suppressed his cultivation for too long and had a mental problem. Kong Xuan told himself this.

"Oh dear, how come it's all gone? I haven't had enough!" Mengmeng said, wiping her greasy mouth.

"Haha, how about I have another table?" Wen Zhong laughed.

"Oh no, or Sister Dongfang will spank my bottom." Mengmeng quickly waved her little hand.

"Grand Tutor!" Kong Xuan called out.

"Hmm?" Wen Zhong turned his head to look at Kong Xuan.

"Now can you tell me who's behind this restaurant?"

“Ah, General Kong, you are trustworthy in the entire Shang Dynasty. I won’t hide it from you, but I absolutely cannot reveal that person’s identity without permission,” Wen Zhong said with a sigh.

Kong Xuan's expression immediately turned somewhat displeased. He didn't say anything and poured himself a drink, while Wen Zhong looked embarrassed.

Mengmeng blinked her big eyes, looking left and right.

“My brother owns the restaurant,” the little guy suddenly said.

"Oh?" Kong Xuan immediately put down his wine glass and looked at Mengmeng with great interest.

“Cough…” Wen Zhong quickly coughed, but Mengmeng didn’t even look at him.

"Mengmeng, who is your brother? Can I meet him?" Kong Xuan asked with a smile.

“Well…” Mengmeng hesitated for a moment.

“He’s upstairs!” Mengmeng whispered.

Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan couldn't help but look up.

Just then, the scene suddenly shifted, and they were no longer in their original place, but in an unfamiliar one. The two were still sitting, but the table that had been full of plates was now spotless, and the surrounding decor was much more luxurious than before.

The two snapped out of their daze and looked to the side, only to see Li Daoyi standing by the window with his hands behind his back, looking outside.

"Hehe..." Mengmeng stuck out her tongue, then ran over and hugged Li Daoyi's leg.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Mengmeng asked coquettishly.

"Wen Zhong pays his respects to the Immortal." Wen Zhong quickly rose and stepped forward to greet him. He naturally knew that the two of them had been taken to the ninth floor by Li Daoyi.

Li Daoyi slowly turned around, patted Mengmeng's little head, then looked up at the two of them, finally focusing his gaze on Kong Xuan.

Kong Xuan suppressed his shock and began to examine Li Daoyi.

“Yuan Feng has certainly not disgraced herself by having a son like you,” Li Daoyi said.

Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan's expression changed drastically. If he had only harbored some doubts about Li Daoyi just now, he was now terrified.

"You..." Kong Xuan opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

“Since the Great Calamity of Longhan, the descendants of the three clans have either died, been imprisoned, become mounts, or submitted to the Heavenly Court and the Three Religions. Only you are still free. These years have not been easy.” Li Daoyi said slowly, looking at Kong Xuan.

"The Great Calamity of Dragon and Han?" Wen Zhong looked bewildered. He had heard of the Great Calamity of Witch and Demon from his sect, but he had never heard of the Great Calamity of Dragon and Han.

"Who exactly are you?" Kong Xuan asked, his body trembling slightly as he stared intently at Li Daoyi.

"Me? Just a wanderer traveling the world," Li Daoyi said with a slight smile.

"Buzz..."

"boom…"

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of energy emanated from Li Daoyi, instantly changing the surrounding scenery. The originally luxuriously furnished room transformed into an endless starry sky, with the group surrounded by countless stars of all sizes.

"Wow, so many stars!" Mengmeng exclaimed.

Wen Zhong and Kong Xuan were also shocked as they looked at their feet and their surroundings. At this moment, the two of them were in the universe, and beneath their feet was a galaxy composed of countless stars.

"Such amazing methods, could this person be..." Kong Xuan was secretly shocked.

"Senior, could you be..." Kong Xuan bowed respectfully and asked the question that had been on his mind, but he didn't dare to say the last two words.

Li Daoyi did not reply, but simply nodded.

With a wave of his hand, the surrounding scenery shifted again, and the group returned to the restaurant.

"He truly is a Primordial Golden Immortal." Kong Xuan was utterly astonished.

Because of Yuan Feng's inheritance, Kong Xuan knew many ancient secrets, knew that there were Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals in the world, and also knew that a sage was a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal. However, a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal was not necessarily a sage. A sage was just a kind of heavenly divine position, which was equivalent to a title. As long as the heavenly way is extinguished, the sage will never die.

"An ancient demon god! This is an ancient demon god, a living ancient demon god!" Kong Xuan thought excitedly.

"Kong Xuan, son of Yuan Feng, pays respects to Senior." Kong Xuan straightened his clothes and solemnly knelt down before Li Daoyi.

"General Kong..." Wen Zhong was startled, but he quickly realized that Kong Xuan must have seen through something.

"Get up!" Li Daoyi raised his hand, and Kong Xuan was lifted up by a force.

"That's enough for today!" Li Daoyi said immediately. After speaking, he waved his hand, and Kong Xuan and Wen Zhong disappeared from the ninth floor.

"System, cancel the trial card," Li Daoyi immediately said in his mind.

"Removal successful. Space Demon God Yang Mei trial card has seven quarters remaining."

"Tsk tsk, Kong Xuan isn't stingy either, he contributed tens of millions of points again." Li Daoyi then looked at the points and laughed.

"Hehe...thank goodness I helped." The little guy said happily.

"It's just a bit unbelievable that Yang Mei is actually a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal. Could it be that other Yang Meis in the prehistoric world are this powerful?" Li Daoyi muttered, looking at the trial card quietly placed in his inventory.

On the eighth floor of the Zhutian Restaurant, Kong Xuan looked at Wen Zhong with a wry smile.

"Grand Tutor, you have surprised me greatly today."

“You can’t blame me for that, which is why I didn’t dare to tell you directly when you asked me. Let me tell you, General Kong, even my grandmaster Tongtian Sheng treated that person very politely and addressed him as a fellow Daoist,” Wen Zhong continued.

"Yes, that's to be expected." Kong Xuan wasn't surprised to hear this; beings of this level could naturally stand on equal footing with sages.

"It seems the future of the Shang Dynasty is promising," Kong Xuan thought to himself. With such a protector, even a sage would have to be careful.
