Chapter 378: Xiao Bai: Huh, something

"Speaking of it, isn't it risky for the Spirit Lord to go up and disturb the Fire Kirin?" Dao Xian said with concern, glancing at Tian Pangpang and the others, who were all frantically absorbing spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy here was simply too dense.

Compared to Qingyun Sect, it was countless times stronger; inhaling one more breath was better than a year of cultivation at Qingyun.

They would never let such an opportunity slip away.

"Uh… should be fine, right?"

Tian Pangpang replied hesitantly, then resumed swallowing spiritual energy.

Seeing this, Dao Xian nearly covered his face.

How embarrassing. You're cultivators—how can you all be gulping air like this just because you've entered someone else's world?

You're even worse than the Wu Xia characters beside you!

"Cough… mind your manners," Dao Xian coughed lightly and reminded them again.

Only then did the others reluctantly end their cultivation, turning to look at the Spirit Lord.

Seeing the Fire Kirin showed little interest in talking to him, the Spirit Lord grew bored and drifted over, joining the casual chatter.

"Let's go, we'll come back later to play with Sister Huoxuan!" The Water Kirin waved, walking ahead with an air of authority.

"Wow, it's actually a Kirin!" Xiao Qing from Xiao Bai's world cried out, "Sister, so amazing!"

Xiao Bai: "Keep your voice down, don't wake the Kirin up."

The Fire Kirin rolled her eyes: "With you all acting like this, how could I possibly sleep?"

She shifted her form into a woman with fiery red hair and a graceful figure, heading toward the banquet as well.

The Fire Kirin naturally had the right to attend the banquet—she simply never liked to go before.

The spiritual fruits and dishes favored by beings from various realms were daily fare for her; nothing particularly rare.

Arriving at the banquet, guests from all realms were already seated, each with a small table before them, much like banquets during the Spring and Autumn period.

Huo Ling'er entered, and one of the fairies brightened, exclaiming: "Sister Xuan, you're here too today?"

"Mm." Huo Xuan nodded. "Set a table for me."

"Alright!"

The fairy nodded and hurried off to arrange it.

Notably, whether butterfly fairies or jade bee fairies, both had gained tremendous benefits from the two world upgrades.

Now the fairies had taken on human-sized forms, radiating immortal aura like goddesses from the Jade Pool.

The only thing unchanged was their loyalty to those who had enlightened them—even as Saint-level beings, they still diligently managed the paradise every day.

"Xiong Ba arrives, gift: a whole dragon!"

"Han Tianzun arrives, gift: ten Golden Core-level cultivation techniques!"

"Jie Geng, one spiritual fruit."

"Spirit Lord, one spiritual fruit."

In a short while, many more arrived.

Especially Xiong Ba and Han Paopao—their gifts drew everyone's attention.

Everyone had brought gifts: products from their respective realms. Since the Dao Jun didn't care, as long as the sentiment was there, it was enough.

No one expected these two to quietly pull off such a spectacle.

"Dragon!"

A large black dog stepped forward: "If it's a true dragon, that'd be awesome. Hey, this dragon's weak!"

Everyone turned to see a dragon in the form of an Eastern divine dragon being carried in by the two.

Su Xiao: "Wow, this time Xiong Ba brought Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun?"

Zhang Sanfeng stroked his beard: "It seems the grudge between Lord Xiong and those two has been resolved; otherwise, he wouldn't have brought them here."

"That must be it," Ye Hei nodded. "Didn't expect Lord Xiong to have such boldness."

He turned to Han Paopao: "Brother Han, didn't expect you to quietly pull off something this big too."

"Just took a stroll and picked up a few techniques."

Han Paopao remained calm. "Come on, Brother Ye, let's sit together—we haven't drunk in ages. Tonight we must go all out."

"Hey, Han kid, count me in too!"

The black dog edged over. "Ye Hei's alcohol tolerance is terrible—he's a lightweight, can't even drink as much as me."

"What the hell are you saying, you black dog? When have I ever lost a drinking contest?" Ye Hei immediately protested.

To say he was worse than a dog—was he less than a dog?

This couldn't be tolerated!!

"Tonight I'm definitely knocking both of you out and restoring my Heavenly Emperor's dignity!"

The black dog barked: "Heavenly Emperor's dignity? Whose Heavenly Emperor spends every day chasing after sources?"

"Who's the one always demanding elixirs!" Ye Hei groaned. "You never complained when you were eating—heartless black dog."

"If you had any heart, Ye Hei, you'd just produce a Primordial Dao-Fetus Holy Body," the dog stated his real goal.

Ye Hei sighed: "I knew you were waiting for this. Forgot to tell you—the Dao Jun has already created the method to condense a Primordial Dao-Fetus Holy Body. I'll buy it after this banquet."

The black dog blinked in surprise: "There's a method for that too?"

"It's not hard at all!" Ye Hei laughed. "Don't forget who the Dao Jun is. Hey, the Dao Jun's here!"

He stood up and went to greet him.

The black dog turned around and indeed saw Zhang Taixuan strolling in with a group of beauties.

Zhang Taixuan's aura was extraordinary, his presence immense, like a celestial king descending to earth, causing the entire banquet hall to fall silent.

And among those beauties were Huang Rong, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu, Gongshui Sanye, Raiden Shogun, and Raiden Makoto…

It could be said that each of them possessed extraordinary strength, and their appearances were absolutely stunning, unmatched in this generation.

"That... that's the Dao Lord." Xiao Qing was shaken, her eyes shining. "Xiao Bai, he's even more handsome than you described, even more heart-stirring!"

Xiao Bai pulled Xiao Qing back and said, "Let's step forward and pay our respects. Don't act rashly."

"Sister, what rashness are you talking about!" Xiao Qing smiled gently and gracefully. "I would never do such a thing!"

Xiao Bai's scalp went numb.

Had her own little sister taken the wrong medicine?

She usually had a fiery, hot-tempered disposition, but now she was speaking in a soft, gentle voice—she really wasn't used to it.

The Xiao Qing from the White Snake world stood not far away, and upon seeing the other Xiao Qing's performance, the corner of her mouth almost twitched.

This Xiao Qing was just too easy to read!

Just from seeing the Dao Lord, even her temperament had changed.

"Sister, she's going to steal your man from you." Xiao Qing whispered into Bai Suzhen's ear.

A faint blush rose on Bai Suzhen's plain, fair face, and she chided softly, "Xiao Qing, don't talk nonsense. Let's go up and pay our respects."

"Sister!"

Xiao Qing sighed.

For this banquet, her sister had dressed up so early—it was simply a case of Sima Zhao's intent being known to every passerby.

If she didn't press forward now, where would the first move come from?

Although the Dao Lord seemed to welcome all beauties without refusal, the one who arrived first would surely have an advantage.

Xiao Qing looked at the Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing already walking ahead, and silently began to worry for her own sister in her heart.

In the battle of the love field, that other self of hers was still more formidable!

"Xiao Qing pays her respects to the Dao Lord!"

Xiao Qing's eyes shimmered, her bearing courteous and graceful, like a young lady from a great house, showing none of the brashness Zhang Taixuan had in his impression.

"You must be Miss Xiao Qing. As expected, you are a beauty of peerless grace. Xiao Bai has mentioned you to me many times already." Zhang Taixuan nodded in greeting.

Xiao Bai, behind Xiao Qing, was just about to pay her respects when she suddenly froze—when had she ever praised Xiao Qing in front of the Dao Lord?!
