The monsters and the Taoist priests from the human delegations were all sitting in their seats in an orderly manner, but the independent cultivators could not all sit down because there were military personnel surrounding them outside. Many of the independent cultivators were blocked outside, and only the more powerful independent cultivators could enter based on their status.

There were people outside standing on tiptoe to watch, but they could only see a corner. Liu An also saw cameras or something outside... They probably couldn't get in, so they could only take pictures of the outside.

There are some people with strong connections who are always making phone calls and contacting people outside the door.

As he was playing, there was a cheer from the crowd, and he quickly took off his down jacket, put on something more formal and went back in. People around him looked at him with envy.

However, there is nothing I can do about it...the policemen with real guns blocking the door are not fake and they are standing there very seriously.

Liu An entered with the certificate from his original sect. Although he had been expelled, he was still better than other independent practitioners. Moreover, he was a relatively well-known newcomer at that time. So as soon as he took out the certificate, the person in charge of verification at the gate let him in immediately and handed him a room card and a bracelet.

He put the bracelet on his hand, pushed the door open and walked in. In an instant, he felt a burst of heat and a mixture of evil spirits hitting his face...

Liu An looked around. The casual cultivators who had sneaked in like him were considered later arrivals and did not have official seats, so they were assigned a separate table. Of course, there were also some who did not want to sit with the casual cultivators and chose to sit with the Taoist priests from the sect.

He took a casual look and saw that the dishes on the table were exceptionally rich and of a completely different quality than what they had eaten in the previous few days.

Most of the casual cultivators came simply to join in the fun. They came in basically to see the world, and of course some came to make friends. It was a great achievement to be able to hook up with someone in such an occasion. Liu An was one of those who came simply to join in the fun. He found an empty seat and sat down quietly. Waiters were walking back and forth from time to time.

Liu An was not trying to make connections, so he was very interested in the dishes on the table. He casually glanced around the table. Today's dishes were amazing...

Why didn’t you prepare so much a few days ago? Is it true that you can just do things well at home but have to pretend to be nice to others?

"…What are these things?" When Liu An was about to eat, he suddenly heard a voice with a strong northeastern accent to his left. The person who spoke picked up a bowl of something that looked very similar to shark fin.

Liu An was gnawing on a pork rib with his head down when he heard someone talking next to him. He glanced over there inadvertently and his eyebrows immediately wrinkled.

The casual cultivator over there was still talking to the people next to him, "Look, this shark fin is so beautiful, the color is so transparent."

Liu An took another bite of the bone, then walked over to talk to the casual cultivator with a smile, "Brother, that dish... you may not be used to it. It's a specialty of the monsters..."

"Hmm?" The casual cultivator was startled, and turned to look at the plate of "shark fin soup". Liu An silently took it aside, "Of course, if you want to try it, it's fine. It's just a little fishy..."

"Emma, ​​what the hell is this?" The casual cultivator quickly put the dish back, making it look like he had thrown it away.

Liu An didn't answer him. Suddenly, someone patted his shoulder. He turned around and saw a little monster standing behind him, asking if he could have the food in his hand.

The older brother next to him stared with wide eyes, so Liu An passed the bowl of "shark fin" to him.

The little monster took it, thanked Liu An, turned around and left, brought the dishes to the table, and then it was unclear what it was doing.

Liu An turned around again and continued eating his pork ribs.

"Hey, brother, you haven't told me what that thing is yet... What the hell is that?" The casual cultivator next to him was obviously a big brother from Northeast China. Liu An turned his head, thought for a few seconds, and said, "It's a monster... Forget it, I won't tell you. I'm afraid you won't have an appetite if I tell you."

"...On a person?" The brother from Northeast China asked after a few seconds of silence.

"How is that possible?" Liu An chewed on a piece of bone. "If you dare to use human flesh in this situation, it will cause international problems. What are you thinking?"

"Emma, ​​you scared me to death." The big brother from Northeast China next to him breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu An thought that he had probably gone to the wrong place accidentally... There was no one to supervise them as independent cultivators here, and they sat in the most remote area, where the people looked the most mixed, mixed with reporters and those who had come in through the back door. Not all the waiters were Taoists, so mistakes were inevitable.

He just turned around to throw away the ribs and picked up another plate of abalone when he felt someone patting his shoulder again, "Hey, brother, you are awesome! How did you get in? I was originally not allowed in, but our editor-in-chief found a quota from somewhere and let me in. There were seven of us, but only I got in."

Hey, reporter brother, which magazine are you from? Liu An looked down and saw the nameplate on the brother's chest read "Taoist Instant", and his eyes lit up immediately.

Emma, ​​it is one of the top ten Taoist newspapers in the country. Although it ranks low, it is also an authoritative newspaper. They used to publish it every month in the mountains. No wonder they were able to sneak in.

"I... am considered a researcher." Liu An said.

"Oh, I didn't realize you're such a great guy. I'm going to rely on you for the next few days. What are you mainly researching?"

"Study...the different living habits of humans and monsters as well as the different customs caused by historical development." Liu An thought for a moment and said seriously.

"Oh, I didn't expect to meet such a capable person." Another casual cultivator who had been listening to the conversation between Liu An and the man from the northeast entrance suddenly spoke up.

"No wonder you recognized what that dish was at first sight." The big brother from the northeast entrance nearby praised him and made Liu An feel embarrassed... because he was just making up nonsense, although it was also half true and half false.

Liu An sat down to continue eating, and then he understood one thing within twenty minutes.

No wonder there were seven people from their newspaper office...only the eldest brother came in alone.

This guy is so talkative, he talked about everything in a short while, and his head hurt. He lowered his head and took another rib, continued to chew it, and listened to the chatter of the big brother next to him.

"Ah, it's really hard to be a Taoist these days. You said the monster came with great momentum this time. In the past, when there were no videos or photos, I could only imagine what the monster looked like through words. Today I really saw it." said the eldest brother.

"Huh? Weren't you a Taoist priest before?" Liu An heard something.

"I'm not, I was transferred here later." The eldest brother waved his hands quickly, "My mother is a Taoist priest, but my father is not. When I was a child, I wanted to be a Taoist priest, but my father didn't allow me, so I just made do as a reporter."

The waitress wearing a cheongsam brought another plate of food. Liu An took a look and looked disgusted again.

Can we please stop fooling around like this?

The big brother over there looked around for a while, then he suddenly patted Liu An on the shoulder and said mysteriously, "Hey, don't you think the person sitting in the second seat over there with the monster is weird... He has people following him, but not him. Since he came in, he has been keeping his head down and not talking, as if someone owed him two million..."

Before he could finish his words, Liu An covered his mouth with his hands and put it in front of his mouth and made a "huh" gesture.

Liu An quickly turned his head to look over there, only to see that the monster sitting in front of the monsters was still with his head down, eating the food in front of him slowly.

It was a bit blurry from such a remote place as a casual cultivator, but the person was sitting in a relatively conspicuous position after all, so it was relatively clear.

The Taoist priest who had been joining in the fun next to them also looked quite panicked. He kept looking over there nervously. The two of them waited for more than a minute and only breathed a sigh of relief when they found no response from over there.

The reporter looked at a loss, he was a little confused and didn't know what was going on.

The Taoist priest next to him waited until Liu An put his hand down, then said to his elder brother earnestly, "Don't talk nonsense. The monster has very sharp hearing. Don't worry, he will hear you."

"Oh." The reporter nodded quickly. Liu An continued to eat his meal with his head down. While he was eating, the reporter leaned close to his ear and hummed: "Hey, who is that guy? Is there anything he can write? I think he looks pretty cool in the monster department."

"Yeah, who is this person?" The Taoist priest who had been eavesdropping next to him also came over, looking like a thief, leaving Liu An speechless. "I just looked through the list, and there's no such person... I have no impression of him at all, it's like he just appeared out of nowhere."

Liu An was eating spare ribs when he was confused by the two people next to him. He started to wonder, "Yes, who is this person? I have no impression of him at all..." Where did this person come from?

"Hey, look what that guy next to him brought to him?" Ever since that happened, the eldest brother didn't dare to say it directly and could only refer to him as "he".

"Brother, what is that?"

Liu An narrowed his eyes and said, "It's a traditional dish of... monsters..."

"That's what you just said, brother." said the eldest brother.

"Then let me tell you clearly, that thing is steamed with monster blood. As for what kind of blood it is, I don't know, I tend to think it is the blood that the local monsters use to offer to the big monsters."

"Will the little monster... still provide blood to the big monster?"

"The types of offerings vary, and it mainly depends on the needs of the big monsters. This banquet must be organized by the local government and local monsters together, so it's not surprising to get such things. But I don't think the quantity is large. Didn't you see that there are only two or three plates on that table, and none on other tables?" Liu An said.

"Oh my god, is this monster so cruel? It eats monster's blood directly? Isn't that the same as us drinking human blood?" the reporter said with horror.

"No, no, no... that's a huge difference." Liu An said, "The internal fighting between monsters is very fierce, and small monsters and big monsters are really two different creatures... If you are interested, I will tell you about it."

…

"Excuse me, this..." The middle-aged man named Xie Ding from the human side asked the white-bearded old man hesitantly. Yuan Yuanyuan was concentrating on eating the bowl of egg custard at that time. Suddenly, she heard someone calling her, so... she ate a little faster.

"Oh, this one." The white-bearded old man smiled and patted Yuan Yuanyuan's shoulder. "He is also someone you humans are quite familiar with."

"Oh? We humans are more familiar with him?" said another elegant lady sitting there. She smiled and looked very curious. "Who is it that we are more familiar with? Can you let us know your name?"

Yuan Yuanyuan put down the silver spoon and looked at the lady opposite her. She felt that she had actually gone too far.

How can you sit in the front seat and keep your head down while eating... How can you eat in such a situation? Are you a little too careless?

A closer look revealed that only the monsters and humans in the back were eating particularly happily. The monsters and humans in the first ten rows were chatting while eating. Humans were chatting with monsters, monsters were chatting with ghosts... Anyway, they were all exchanging feelings and discussing business.

In this kind of occasion, communicating feelings is the most important thing.

But she really didn't know what to say, for fear that she might say something wrong and cause trouble for others. She had never experienced such a situation before, so she decided not to make things worse.

Yuan Yuanyuan thought about it, reached out and pulled down the hat on her head, looking at the lady and the middle-aged man opposite her. She thought that they were not outside and would not be noticed by everyone, so she took it off.

Her train of thought is like this - basically after taking it off, the person on the other side should understand...she comes here mainly to join in the fun, or act as a thug or something, don't ask her for anything else, of course she won't know anything even if you ask her.

So Yuan Yuanyuan said nothing and looked at the middle-aged Xie Dingnan opposite her with deep affection.

Hmm…hmm…hmm?

Just like that, look at my eyes, brother, can you... understand?

The moment Yuan Yuanyuan took off her hat, Xie Dingnan and the lady next to her had their pupils dilated and said, "You, you are..."

Yuan Yuanyuan waited for a long time but heard nothing further, so she glanced at the white-bearded old man next to her, motioning them to continue chatting, and she lowered her head to continue eating.

She was sitting relatively close to the front and was less affected, so naturally she didn't notice that the noise inside the hotel was getting louder and louder.

"Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo..." The elder brother, who was struggling desperately with his mouth covered by Liu An and another Taoist priest, almost popped his eyes out. The Taoist priest next to him said in shock: "That's not...that's who!"

He looked behind him and noticed more and more people, even those who were blocked outside. At this time, the door was in a state of turmoil, and the police were blocking the door...

"Tsk." Liu An didn't say anything, just shook his head.

He took another intent look in that direction, then took out a rib from the table and put it in his mouth, and together with the Taoist priest beside him, he carried the reporter upstairs.
