"Is it appropriate for us to make such a big fuss when we're visiting foreign lands in a private capacity?"
Wang Yao took a glass of dark-colored liquor brought over by the waiter. He took a sip and found it sweet and sour with bubbles that made his mouth feel tingly. He couldn't help but think that such a delicious drink must be expensive. Looking at the magnificent castle, he felt a little apprehensive.
"It's alright. Although we're still in the territory of the Six Realms, we're considered guests of the Foreign Realm. The Foreign Gods and Barbarians are quite hospitable, so Director Wang doesn't need to worry about it," Wei Xian said with a smile, shaking the golden wine in his hand.
"What did you call Chairman Wang? Watch your mouth here. I've heard that the place in the foreign lands that receives our Heavenly Court officials likes to use all sorts of underhanded methods to eavesdrop on our conversations," the fairy maiden warned Wei Xian coldly from the side.
"It was my oversight." Wei Xian's expression changed, and he hurriedly nodded.
"This... even if the methods are underhanded, giving us such a nice place to stay must have cost a lot, right?" Wang Yao was used to a hard life in the Six Realms, and suddenly running into this goddess castle that was like a royal palace, and being served wine as soon as he entered, made him feel quite uncomfortable.
"What's a little expense? Do you know how much money Six Directions and Eight Directions made from their last investment in the Western Regions? When you move in, just think about how you're spending our Heavenly Court's money," the fairy maiden said disdainfully from the side.
"Oh? Our investment was very successful?" Wang Yao asked in surprise.
"Yes, very successful, so successful that she lost everything, and all the money went to those foreign gods in the Western world," the fairy sneered.
"You can't say that. After all, our Heavenly Court doesn't know much about business in the Western Regions. We're still in the learning stage. Even the Supreme Lord said that you have to pay tuition to learn, right?" Wei Xian argued somewhat embarrassedly.
"Tuition fees? How many years have we been paying? Among the six realms, the human realm has the longest study time, right? From elementary school to doctorate, it doesn't exceed thirty years at most. What about us?" The fairy maiden looked at Wei Xian with a cold smile.
"What's the point of bringing up mortals? Which of us immortals hasn't spent thousands of years studying and learning?" Wei Xian was getting a little embarrassed.
"What exactly happened?" Wang Yao asked Caixia curiously, sensing the hidden meaning in their words.
“Well… the Six Directions and Eight Directions’ investments in the Ocean Realm were indeed quite unsuccessful, but that’s why the Heavenly Court arranged for us to travel through the Six Directions and Eight Directions. There are actually some companies in the Six Realms that have invested quite successfully in the Ocean Realm, so the reception might be a bit lacking,” Caixia said hesitantly.
"Oh, so this is how the foreign gods treat us? They're treating us like dirt!" Wang Yao suddenly realized.
Now there's nothing more to say. Everyone can eat and drink as they please. What's wrong with eating your own food? And there's no need to worry about making mistakes.
Because the immortals convert all the food they eat into energy, they not only don't need to use the toilet, but their appetites are also astonishing. Several of them only moved into the Goddess Castle in the morning, and by noon, the castle's food reserves were all gone.
The foreigners serving at the castle were probably used to the immortals' gluttonous eating and drinking, so they weren't surprised. With one phone call, a line of vans arrived, loaded with food, which was generously provided to the immortals. Even if they couldn't finish it, they could still use it at the banquet.
For Wang Yao and his companions, there was no issue of whether they could eat or not. Hu Fei and Ma Chaoxing could occasionally have a treat in the human realm, but this was the first time they had ever eaten without limit like this. Zhang Wuji was even more miserable, as he had been stationed in the Desolate Immortal Realm for many years and had become accustomed to having nothing to eat.
A pack of hungry wolves seized this opportunity, only regretting that their mouths were too small. How could they possibly have a problem with not being able to eat? But eating is, after all, a time-consuming activity. You have to bring the food to your mouth one bite at a time, chew it, and then swallow it.
However, food in the castle was supplied by the cartload, so even though they ate constantly, they still couldn't keep up with the speed at which the castle's food supply was provided.
Moreover, it's estimated that the castle's chef is quite skilled and has amazing stamina. Wang Yao and his group ate non-stop until the afternoon without ever complaining of being tired.
Whatever the wild animals of the mountains, the swallows of the clouds, the lobsters, abalone, or other seafood, as long as Wang Yao and his companions name it, the castle's chefs will have it ready and served in no time.
The only thing that Wang Yao and his group weren't entirely satisfied with was that the castle served Western food, which wasn't really to their liking, but they couldn't care less about that now.
As the meal progressed, Caixia was the first to feel embarrassed. Having traveled to the Six Realms and the Ocean Realm many times, she understood the immortals' desire to recoup the Heavenly Court's losses. However, Wang Yao and the others had completely overeaten, which was somewhat damaging to the Heavenly Court's reputation.
“Hey, I heard from that guy Liglong that Pearson is coming over to invite us to dinner later. Should we take a break first? Let’s be mindful of the Heavenly Court’s image?” Caixia said to Wang Yao.
"Eat less for dinner, that's what it means to be mindful of your image. Now... let's get on with it!" Wang Yao said vaguely, his mouth full of food, blinking.
The others found it very reasonable. After Caixia spoke, the fairy was about to use "self-cleaning" to tidy her appearance, but after hearing Wang Yao say this, she reached out and took another piece of cake and stuffed it into her mouth.
Caixia paused for a moment, then realized it made sense, and continued eating. The group ate until the sun was setting, when a waiter came to report that Pearson and Liglong had arrived together. Only then did Wang Yao and his companions reluctantly stop eating and drinking.
Pearson was a portly, ruddy-faced foreign god who always had a smile on his face, as if all the muscles in his face had been transformed into smiling flesh and could never be changed. He was extremely humble in front of Wang Yao, calling him "Master" so fluently, as if he had been trained in heaven.
