I saw that the huge ancient tree was actually a hundred meters high. The inside of the tree had been hollowed out. Bursts of noisy voices and bright yellow lights came from the thick trunk.
A minister in a white robe stepped down from the carriage and said to the crowd with a smile, "This is the Ancient Tree Restaurant prepared for you. This ancient tree was planted thousands of years ago and is very famous throughout the Mortal Realm."
“I hope you will enjoy your stay here.”
He continued, "Tomorrow I will lead everyone to participate in the alchemy competition. Please be prepared."
Everyone nodded in thanks and looked around curiously.
At this moment, the minister in white suddenly turned to Xu Muqing and asked respectfully, "President Xu, do you have any free time?"
"Our Majesty wishes to see you."
Xu Muqing nodded, then he turned to look at Dan Chen, "President Dan, come with me to the palace later."
Dan Chen stroked his beard and said, "Okay, President."
After that, everyone followed the staff into the Ancient Tree Restaurant.
hall--
Lu Jingzhi stepped in.
As he glanced around, he saw that the layout of the hall was unique and ingenious. The walls were decorated with exquisite wood carvings with intricate and delicate patterns.
The carved beams and painted buildings and the colorful paintings sparkle under the light.
In the middle of the hall stands a wooden pillar several tens of meters thick, with a wooden staircase built along the pillar leading directly to the upper floor.
Wine tables are neatly arranged around the wooden pillars. Made of solid wood with clear grain, they exude a light wood fragrance.
The table top is flat and smooth, with wine jugs and delicacies placed on it, and carved chairs placed around the table.
The participating forces sat around the table, chatting and laughing, clinking glasses, and the atmosphere was lively.
On one side of the hall is a platform specially built for dancers to perform.
The platform is built of thick wooden boards and is surrounded by carved railings.
The floor of the platform is covered with soft carpet with bright colors and exquisite patterns.
The dancer is dressed in gorgeous ancient costume, with her hair tied up high and decorated with exquisite hair accessories. She has a pretty face and her eyes reveal charm and agility.
Several musicians sat in the corner, playing drums and music for everyone.
At this time, the children of other forces were eating meat and drinking happily.
However, when they saw Lu Jingzhi, Yan An and others walk in, they stopped what they were doing and focused their attention on them.
Especially when everyone saw Yan An, a hint of surprise suddenly flashed in their eyes, as if they had discovered a precious treasure, and they stared at her with fiery gazes.
"Where does this force come from? Why have we never seen it before?" someone asked curiously.
"I remember it seemed to be from the Zi Tian Empire." another person answered.
"This girl is so beautiful, but it's a pity that she is holding hands with that man. I'm afraid she already has someone in her heart." Someone said regretfully.
When Lu Jingzhi heard the discussions around him, he couldn't help feeling a little unhappy.
He looked around and found that there were about ten different forces here.
Among these forces, the one that attracted his attention the most was the group composed entirely of women.
There were about a dozen of them, sitting quietly in the corner of the hall, eating barbecue and talking in low voices.
At this moment, one of the women with short blue hair seemed to notice Lu Jingzhi's gaze and looked over.
She was wearing a white and blue short skirt, with an exquisite hairpin on her head. Her face was cold and her blue pupils revealed a hint of sharpness.
Suddenly, a pain came from the familiar waist.
He habitually grasped her wrist, but found that Yan An in front of him was staring at him angrily.
"Are all these women good-looking? Do you have what it takes to join them?!"
Sensing the coldness emanating from Yan An, Lu Jingzhi touched his nose and said awkwardly, "Madam, I'm just curious."
"Hmph, I don't want to bother with you anymore."
She let go of Lu Jingzhi's hand, took Lu Xiaoya's arm behind her, and really ignored him.
Lu Xiaoya couldn't help laughing out loud. She didn't expect that Lu Jingzhi was actually a henpecked husband.
Seeing this, the entourage in front couldn't help but chuckle, and then said: "I will take you to your rooms to rest first. If you are hungry, you can go to the hall to eat. There is free food and drink for twelve hours."
As he spoke, he led everyone to the wooden stairs, then slowly walked up the stairs and finally stopped on the third floor.
"There are fifty rooms on each floor, and each room can accommodate two to four people, ensuring everyone gets enough sleep."
Lu Jingzhi followed him and looked at the house number. It said (C001, 002...)
"The Alchemy Association's rooms are C20 to C40. You can choose your own room."
After listening to the entourage's words, Lu Xiaoya took Yan An's arm and said, "Sister-in-law, why don't we stay in the same room?"
When Lu Jingzhi heard that she wanted to steal his wife, he was immediately displeased, "Lu Xiaoya, Yan An is my wife. Why should she live with you if she doesn't live with me?"
I was thinking about staying up all night with Yan An tonight, but unexpectedly...
"Then let sister-in-law choose." Then, she looked at Yan An and asked softly, "Sister-in-law, do you want to live with my cousin or me?"
"Of course it's you. It's his fault for looking at another woman just now." Yan An glared at Lu Jingzhi coquettishly.
Lu Jingzhi quickly explained: "Oh, I'm just curious, I don't mean anything else."
Lu Xiaoya laughed triumphantly, "Haha, cousin, stop quibbling."
"Sister-in-law, let's go." As she said that, she was about to pull Yan An towards the room.
Lu Jingzhi quickly explained, "I was just curious just now, because that team was composed entirely of women."
"oh…?"
"All women?"
"Then go find them."
After saying that, Yan An glared at him, walked towards Room C25, and slammed the door shut.
Lu Jingzhi, feeling frustrated, sighed helplessly.
"Boss, since your sister-in-law doesn't want to sleep with you, why don't the three of us stay together?"
Lu Jingzhi's mouth twitched, and he looked at Ye Wu with undisguised disdain in his eyes, "Follow you?"
"Forget it. I can't stand your snoring, grinding your teeth, and smelly feet."
If I live with Ye Wu, it would be better for me to swallow my pride and coax Yan An later.
After all, Ye Wu is a fat man with many bad habits, and he is not as comfortable as the sweet and soft Yan An.
