Chapter 252: The New Members

"Wow, it's really true?!"

Entering this new world, the Love Apartment crew were stunned.

"Hu Yifei, how did you get such a chance? Shouldn't the protagonist be someone like Ceng Xiaoxian, a human elite?" Ceng Xiaoxian frowned, gesturing wildly at himself, utterly baffled.

Lin Wanyu burst out laughing: "Teacher Ceng, this is a formal banquet—don't tell jokes."

"Exactly, exactly!" Chen Meijia nodded vigorously. "If we laugh out loud, it'd be terribly rude. Wow, that man is so imposing—he's wearing a dragon robe!"

Hu Yifei introduced: "That's Qin Shi Huang."

"Then who is the man beside him, also wearing the same dragon robe?"

"Also Qin Shi Huang!"

Lu Ziqiao was stunned: "They didn't even fight each other~?"

"What's there to fight about?" Hu Yifei laughed. "See those two Daoist Priests beside them? Both are Zhang Sanfeng!"

Lu Ziqiao was stunned: "This kind of thing actually exists? So does that mean I might one day meet the real Lu Bu?"

Ceng Xiaoxian scoffed: "What's so great about Lu Bu? A traitor who served three masters!"

"Teacher Ceng, you're supposed to be cultured—he was a 'three-surname household slave'!" Lu Ziqiao corrected him.

Hu Yifei led the group forward.

"We pay our respects to the Dao Lord, thank you for inviting us."

Zhang Taixuan waved his hand: "No need for formalities. Bring out the food!"

At his command, servants brought in tables and chairs, arranging Spirit Fruits and dishes.

"Wow, what's this?"

"This is a hundred-year-old ginseng—do they really use this extravagantly for cooking?"

Even Lin Wanyu, the wealthy heiress, felt overwhelmed, especially after taking a sip of juice pressed from Spirit Fruits—she immediately dropped her pretense and began eating and drinking ravenously.

"Ceng Xiaoxian, are you a hungry ghost reincarnated?"

"Ziqiao… you're doing the same thing, so why pick on me?"

"Teacher Ceng, burp… don't slander me!"

Hu Yifei looked at the bunch of fools and felt her dignity vanish.

"Wow, this is Love Apartment? It's really so fun!"

Just then, a woman approached.

Hu Yifei froze, recognizing her: "You're Miss Su—weren't you the one streaming just now?"

"That's me!" Su Xiao smiled. "Teacher Hu, you're my idol—have a drink, how about it?"

"Idol?" Hu Yifei was surprised.

She was just a teacher—how had she become an idol, even in another world?

Su Xiao laughed: "Let's not talk about that now—today, let's eat well and drink well!"

"Alright, cheers!"

They were eating.

Two more people arrived: a graceful, fashionably dressed woman led a child forward.

Upon entering, Yor entered a state of shock.

"There really is another world!"

"And everyone here is so powerful."

Except for those who clearly came from modern society, she felt no fighting spirit at all when facing others.

"Waku waku!" Aniya suddenly spoke up. "There's a banquet! Mommy, that sister said she'd give me peanuts."

"Wow, the God of Melon has arrived!"

Su Xiao called out to Hu Yifei and rushed over. "It's really Aniya!"

"Wow, do you know me?" Aniya was stunned.

"Of course I do!" Su Xiao smiled lightly. "Miss Yor, please take a seat—we can talk later."

"Alright." Yor nodded and led Aniya to sit at a separate table.

Before Su Xiao could act, another group arrived.

A red-haired boy entered the banquet hall with a man and a woman, looking somewhat nervous.

On the other side.

The group led by Erina Nakiri arrived as promised.

The live stream simply couldn't match the震撼 of the real scene.

Hironai gazed at the banquet guests, her expression even more stunned.

"All these dishes are from ancient Chinese imperial banquets."

"No—even dishes from Sakura Kingdom are here," said Senzaemon Nakiri, astonished.

"Please take your seats!"

Zhang Taixuan waved his hand. "Today, new members have joined—this is fate. Don't be formal—treat this as your own home. Please!"

"My lord is too kind!"

Everyone bowed and took their seats.

After seating.

The banquet began; Senzaemon Nakiri still could not hide his shock.

"These dishes are made with such exquisite skill."

Though chefs from all realms lacked the ability to make food glow with magic, those who had entered imperial courts had long perfected their techniques to the point of mastery.

Each dish could be called a work of art, beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"To attend this banquet, I'd gladly give up ten years of my life."

Liu Maoxing and his group were also stunned.

"These dishes may not strike the soul, but they represent the pinnacle of technique—seasoning, knife work, fire control—all perfected. To prepare such a banquet, these chefs are no ordinary people."

"No, Maoxing, the fruits here are the best. Wow, after eating one, I never want to eat anything else."

Due to the newcomers' arrival, the banquet continued for another half day.

The banquet ended.

Everyone returned to their respective realms.

Of course, some members chose to remain in the Profound Heaven Realm—Yotsuya Miko, Xiao Wu, Raiden Shogun, Huang Rong, Kyojuro Rengoku…

In short, everyone connected to Zhang Taixuan stayed behind.

That night, everyone gathered together and played cards all night.
