Chapter 210: Peach Banquet

Don't be nervous, I, your dad, am here for everything!

Looking at Ao Zhen's tense expression, Ao Yifan patted the little guy's head and said, "This time, I, your dad, just want you to witness the great divine abilities of this world; later, they will also be your rivals on the path to sainthood."

Father!

Hearing Ao Yifan's words, Ao Zhen felt somewhat excited.

He knew this was Father's approval of him, and this deep paternal love also gave Ao Zhen confidence.

But before Ao Zhen could be happy for long, he heard Ao Yifan continue: "Right, Zhen'er, at the Peach Banquet, your uncle will likely try to beat me up; as his brother-in-law and son-in-law, I really shouldn't fight him, so when the time comes, you, as my eldest son, must definitely stop him!"

Hearing his own father's words, Ao Zhen was instantly speechless.

How come this sounds so weird?

Even, Ao Zhen suspected that his father bringing them was just to use them as a shield; after all, in the past, his father would take mother, elder aunt, and younger aunt out for fun, but never bring them.

"No, how could I doubt my dad? He's always been great to us siblings; bringing us along definitely isn't to use us as a shield."

Ao Zhen shook his head, dismissing the thought.

He turned his head to glance at his father's kind smile, feeling warm inside.

……

"Chijiao Daxian, long time no see, your cultivation has recently improved again!"

The Peach Banquet is about to start, and various great divine beings have arrived one after another; although Chijiao Daxian is a Loose Immortal, his strength at the peak of Great Luo Golden Immortal is also quite noteworthy.

"Heh, so it's Fellow Daoist Bian Zhuang!"

Waving the fan in his hand, Chijiao Daxian looked at the speaker and chuckled: "My meager cultivation is hardly worth your notice, fellow cultivators; better to focus your attention on the true great divine beings rather than someone like me."

As he spoke, Chijiao Daxian narrowed his eyes, gazing at a middle-aged person with an immortal's aura not far away.

Following Chijiao Daxian's gaze, Bian Zhuang couldn't help but feel his breath tighten.

Zhenyuan Daxian!

As the ancestor of Earth Immortals, his status is lofty; though not a sage, he is qualified to discuss scriptures with the Three Pure Ones.

The immortals exclaimed in amazement, after all, previous Peach Banquets could never attract such great divine beings.

"This great immortal actually came to participate in this Peach Banquet; I'm afraid this Peach Banquet will be different from before!"

Bian Zhuang couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"Indeed, being able to attract such a great divine being must be something extraordinary."

Meanwhile, Chijiao Daxian also nodded in agreement.

But just as his words fell, suddenly Chijiao Daxian felt a serene, vast aura descend.

At the same time, not only Chijiao Daxian and Bian Zhuang, but all the immortals present, even Zhenyuanzi who usually pays no attention to external matters, raised their heads to look outward.

"She is!"

Their pupils contracted sharply, and everyone couldn't help but feel shocked.

"How did this great figure also come?"

Chijiao Daxian shook the fan in his hand faster and faster, as if only that could dispel his unease.

Meanwhile, Bian Zhuang also picked up a fruit and stuffed it into his mouth.

There's no way; this person's background is too great, and their looks are extremely beautiful—he fears he can't control his foul mouth and might offend this great figure.

By then, even his master might not be able to save him.

"Is this the Jade Pond? It's indeed beautiful; you say, after I go back, should I arrange the Netherworld to look like this?"

A clear voice rang out.

Upon hearing that voice, the immortals realized that beside that great figure there was also a maiden.

"She is, an Innate Human!"

Everyone present was a great divine being of the Three Realms, so they could naturally see the maiden's background at a glance.

It was precisely because they saw through the maiden's origin that the immortals couldn't help but be somewhat shocked.

You must know that after experiencing the Ancient Witch-Demon War and then the Human Race Contention War, true Innate Humans have become exceedingly rare.

Among them, the most famous naturally belongs to the Human Sect's Xuandu Grand Master.

The immortals also never expected to see an Innate Human at this Peach Banquet.

Moreover, this Innate Human is still by that person's side.

"Could it be that she is……"

Suddenly, Chijiao Daxian seemed to recall a legend, and his eyes widened involuntarily.

"Goodness, how did the Underworld let her out? Aren't they afraid she'll awaken that one?"

Sometimes, knowing more isn't a good thing.

At this moment, Chijiao Daxian increasingly felt that this Peach Banquet might be about to witness something major.

"I don't know if I leave now, will I still make it in time?"

Beside him, Bian Zhuang, who was eating fruit, seemed to see Chijiao Daxian's thoughts and couldn't help but ask: "Chijiao Daxian, do you know that girl's background?"

Upon hearing that, Chijiao Daxian just smiled and shook his head, obviously unwilling to say more.

Just as Chijiao Daxian was wondering whether to slip away, suddenly heaven-wide flower petals fluttered down, and one after another celestial maidens flew into the venue.

"How beautiful!"

Watching the beautiful celestial maidens fly past overhead, Bian Zhuang couldn't help but show a look of infatuation, even failing to notice the fruit dropping from his mouth.

Seeing Bian Zhuang's appearance, Chijiao Daxian subconsciously moved a bit farther away.

After all, this is the Golden Mother of the Jade Pond's domain; she most dislikes male immortals who are lustful for beauty, so Chijiao Daxian certainly doesn't want to end up unlucky alongside Bian Zhuang.

However, Chijiao Daxian also knows that there's no chance to run away now, only because……

"The Golden Mother of the Jade Pond has arrived; all immortals greet her with respect!"

As the Seven Fairies' words fell, all the immortals rose to their feet; even someone as powerful as Zhenyuanzi had to give the Golden Mother of the Jade Pond face.

This is the pomp of the foremost female immortal!

The next moment, with a phoenix's cry, a splendid phoenix carriage pulled by two fire phoenixes flew in.

As the Seven Fairies fluttered down, an extraordinarily beautiful female immortal slowly descended—who else could it be but the Golden Mother of the Jade Pond?

"We pay our respects to the Golden Mother of the Jade Pond!"

All the immortals bowed in unison.

"Mm"

With a wave of her hand, the Golden Mother of the Jade Pond said softly: "Everyone who can attend the Peach Banquet, I am delighted; the banquet is about to begin, please take your seats."

The immortals took their seats, and at the same time, palace maidens came out carrying flat peaches.

"These flat peaches are so big and so white!"

Bian Zhuang swallowed his saliva.

Hearing that, Chijiao Daxian couldn't help but feel a bit strange.

After all, the flat peaches before him were clearly inferior to those of previous years—smaller, poorer in quality, looking like leftovers someone had picked over.

"Could it be that the Golden Mother of the Jade Pond is still practicing favoritism?"

Chijiao Daxian felt doubtful, and glanced at Bian Zhuang beside him.

Just one glance, and Chijiao Daxian wanted to stay away from that guy, because what he called "big and white" in his mouth was definitely not a flat peach at all.
