Fang Xiu frowned slightly: "What? Can't I enter without a birthday gift?"
He indeed did not have a birthday gift, because the Kunlun Mirror did not tell him that he had to bring a gift after traveling through time.
He does have some treasures, but he doesn't want to give them to the Queen Mother of the West. He came to save them himself, so why should he give them gifts?
The fairy in green was startled again; she had been startled twice in a short period of time.
"Well... it's not that I can't come in without a birthday gift, it's just..."
Before she could finish speaking, Fang Xiu had already strode towards the venue.
"Oh, oh, distinguished guest..."
Helpless, the fairy in green could only call out, "Fang Xiu, the descendant of Nuwa, has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, the once noisy celestial palace instantly fell silent, and almost all the guests present turned their heads and focused their attention on Fang Xiu.
His brows furrowed with surprise as he looked him up and down.
Fang Xiu remained unfazed, his calm gaze meeting that of the gods, sweeping over each of them.
As the gods were observing him, he was also observing them.
Since this Peach Banquet contains a demon god's conspiracy, is it possible that the demon god disguised himself as a guest and infiltrated the event?
His undisguised gaze elicited various reactions from the gods.
Some people had cold eyes, some had smiles on their faces, and some were very curious.
After a moment of silence, the gods began to whisper among themselves.
"Is this a descendant of Nuwa?"
"The Goddess Nuwa never attends the Peach Banquet, so why has she sent her successor today?"
“The descendants of Nuwa have always been women, so how could a man suddenly appear?”
"This person exudes such a heavy aura of malevolence, how could he possibly be a descendant of Nuwa?"
Amidst the gods' discussions, Fang Xiu calmly walked towards the steps inside the hall, ascending step by step.
At this moment, a maid hurriedly came over: "Honored guest, the Peach Banquet is divided into three areas: the Upper Banquet, the Middle Banquet, and the Lower Banquet. The Lower Banquet is used to entertain the gods below the third rank, and the corresponding peaches are of a variety that ripens once every three thousand years. The Middle Banquet is used to entertain the gods of the second and third ranks, and the corresponding peaches are of a variety that ripens once every six thousand years."
The upper banquet is for entertaining first-rank deities, and the peaches of immortality ripen once every nine thousand years. Your seat should be... should be....”
The maid was also in a dilemma, because she had never encountered a situation where a descendant of Nuwa came to participate in the Peach Banquet before. The offspring of those first-rank gods could only sit in the lower banquet. Logically speaking, Fang Xiu should be the same.
However, the identity of being a descendant of Nuwa is somewhat inappropriate.
She did not doubt Fang Xiu's identity as a descendant of Nuwa, because this was not something a maid should do. Whether Fang Xiu was real or not was for other immortals and gods to judge. Even if he was an imposter, the one who should be punished was the gatekeeper.
But if she gets assigned to the wrong area, she'll be the one punished.
After thinking for a while, the maid finally pointed to the central banquet area: "You should be sitting in the central banquet... Oh, oh... Distinguished guest, you're mistaken, this is the central banquet, that's the upper..."
Before she could finish speaking, Fang Xiu had already taken his seat in the banquet area.
The maid was getting anxious, but dared not say anything. If the other party really was a descendant of Nuwa, and she had slighted him, she would be punished.
She stood frozen in place for a moment, then had no choice but to leave.
Ever since Fang Xiu entered the main hall, the gods have been scrutinizing him, and even during their conversations, they have been keeping an eye on him out of the corner of their eyes.
Who wouldn't be curious about the descendants of Nuwa?
Now that they saw Fang Xiu sitting down in the banquet area, the gods had all sorts of thoughts.
Some complained, "The seats in the banquet area should be reserved for at least a first-rank deity. This descendant of Nuwa is so ignorant of etiquette."
"Even if he is a descendant of Nuwa, he is still only a demigod. What makes him worthy of sitting at the banquet?"
Those who were dissatisfied were ultimately a minority; most of the gods and immortals pretended not to see it and continued to talk to others.
Fang Xiu sat in the banquet area not to eat the peaches that ripen only once every nine thousand years, but to observe them more closely.
Sitting in the upper banquet area, with a commanding view, he could see everyone's expressions, making it easier for him to oversee the whole situation and uncover the demon god's conspiracy as soon as possible.
He calmly surveyed the entire room, scrutinizing everyone repeatedly, including the maids coming and going. However, no matter how he observed, he couldn't detect anything unusual. Instead, he received many disgruntled glances.
No one wants to be stared at without restraint.
After a long while, Fang Xiu frowned slightly.
Isn't the problem with these guests?
He couldn't help but shift his gaze to the highest point in the main hall, where two seats were placed, a dragon throne and a phoenix throne, both cast in divine gold. The dragons and phoenixes carved on them were so lifelike that they seemed to be real dragons and phoenixes lying down.
However, the owners of these two have not yet entered the room.
At this moment, another person arrived at the banquet area. He was wearing precious armor, holding a bronze pagoda in his hand. He was a middle-aged man with a robust build, piercing eyes, and an imposing presence.
He glanced at Fang Xiu, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.
"I am Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King. Your esteemed appearance is unfamiliar. May I ask your Dharma name?"
"Fang Xiu, a descendant of Nuwa."
Li Jing's curiosity intensified: "A successor of Nuwa? Nuwa never attends the Peach Banquet, so it's quite unexpected that she would send a successor to participate today."
"No rush, something even more unexpected will happen in a moment," Fang Xiu said calmly.
Li Jing was taken aback, then chuckled and said, "Then I'll wait and see."
After saying that, he stopped talking and sat down to the side, drinking alone.
