Chapter 1047: and then the title translation, then ===GLOSSARY=== with list

You say, these years I've devoted myself wholeheartedly to the Sect, unable to sleep at night, eating poorly, sleeping poorly; as for the treasures in the treasury, I've never even had a thought about them.

After all these years, I don't even have a decent magical artifact on me.

Look at you all, each listening to Gōulán tunes, drinking jade nectar, and now you say I'm wasteful? You actually dare say I'm wasteful?

Qi Xiong glared at Wu Shou with bloodshot eyes, his sense of grievance nearly spilling over.

Seeing that, Wu Shou also panicked.

I.......... I was just speaking offhand, Senior Brother, don't take it to heart.

What do you mean 'don't take it to heart'? If you didn't think that, you wouldn't have said it.

You yourself say, have I not done enough for the Sect all these years? Damn it, I still don't even have a dao partner.

This........ there are already two in the Dong Fu, aren't there?

Is that a dao partner?

"I..............."

Back when you forced me to inherit the Sect Master position, I knew it wouldn't be good; sure enough, after a lifetime of hard work, I'm still neither here nor there.

It's just a banquet; besides, I never even thought of it, they came on their own, and even if I wanted to host a banquet, what's the harm?

I've devoted my life to the Sect, shed blood, suffered wounds; now that I've broken through to the Great Emperor Realm, what's wrong with holding a banquet? I ask you, what's wrong? I just want to hold a banquet—what's wrong with that?

Qi Xiong vented all his pent-up grievances; Wu Shou listened, stunned, and quickly offered an apologetic smile.

No, no, Senior Brother, calm down; I didn't say it was wrong. Hold the banquet—hold it well, hold it grandly. Based on your achievements, Senior Brother, it's not just a banquet; even laying it out for a month would be no problem.

Wu Shou was a bit numb, afraid to further provoke Qi Xiong; seeing this, Qi Xiong turned to Ye Zhangqing, Bai Hua Xianzi, and Shadowless beside him and asked.

Zhangqing, Junior Sister, what do you say?

I........... should, definitely should.

Suddenly the topic turned to him, Ye Zhangqing startled, then immediately nodded repeatedly.

Given Qi Xiong's current state, if we don't let him hold this banquet, he might go mad.

After everyone's persuasion, Qi Xiong gradually calmed down, then looked at Ye Zhangqing and spoke earnestly.

Zhangqing, this matter now falls on you.

Shèngzhǔ, rest assured.

I'm confident in your abilities, so I won't disturb you; I'll come again tonight.

Then Qi Xiong and Wu Shou left; there were many matters in the holy land that needed their attention.

A day passed quickly; after the two finished their holy land duties and arrived at the canteen, there was still a Shíchén left, but upon looking, wow—people from the two great holy lands and all the other major sects were there.

What are you all..............

Qi Xiong looked at the crowd in puzzlement; hearing this, the Yunluo Shèngzhǔ, who was squatting by the pool washing vegetables, smiled and said.

Oh, there's nothing else going on, so I came over to lend a hand.

This...... how can I feel embarrassed?

Guests are guests; there's no reason to make them work. Qi Xiong initially felt guilty, especially since everyone had come of their own accord.

Even knowing they were just here for a free meal, this kindness is nonetheless genuine.

However, just as Qi Xiong was secretly moved, he suddenly saw the meat on the chopping board of the Tian Dao Valley Master Bai Ke, and it felt vaguely familiar.

This is...............

Frowning, he stepped forward and took a close look; Qi Xiong's eyes instantly glazed over.

Damn, this isn't the Demon Emperor just captured, is it?

Oh, Sect Master Qi recognized it?

Hearing that, Bai Ke, who was slicing meat, turned his head and smiled; at that moment, Qi Xiong felt his breath catch.

Damn, this is one of the two Demon Emperors just brought back; even Qi Xiong himself couldn't bear to eat it, planning to keep it for now.

They hadn't even killed it then—it was taken alive—and they've been feeding it well these days; now........ now.......... now it's ended up as meat on the chopping board?

This........ where did you get this ingredient from?

Pointing at the Demon Emperor meat on the board, Qi Xiong stammered; hearing that, Bai Ke replied, puzzled.

The Yunluo Shèngzhǔ brought it back.

Yunluo? How could he................

Suddenly a bad premonition arose in his heart; his eyes darted around looking for something, and soon Qi Xiong, not far away, saw a pile of already processed ingredients—this meat quality, this aura, this pattern...........

This.......... damn, the second Demon Emperor.

Qi Xiong only felt a surge of qi and blood in his chest.

Moreover, there must be more.

At this moment, Qi Xiong could no longer stay calm; after a careful search, the more he looked, the colder his heart became.

Demon Race Food Material, Demon Emperor, Demon King.............

Wow, damn, not a single low-grade ingredient in sight.

Without a word, Qi Xiong rushed to the Demon Race food material breeding grounds of the Dao Yi Shengdi; the disciples and stewards of Yuzhu Feng responsible for tending this place, upon seeing Qi Xiong suddenly appear, all bowed in salute.

Greetings, Shèngzhǔ.

Who has come today?

Ah.............

I'm asking who has come here today.

Just the Yunluo Shèngzhǔ and the Yaochi Shèngzhǔ brought people over, saying they were preparing ingredients for tonight's banquet for the Shèngzhǔ.

Hearing that, Qi Xiong's heart skipped a beat; he instantly sensed something amiss, moved his feet, and his whole body vanished from the spot.

Not long after, a roar came from the breeding grounds.

Yunluo, Jade Pool, I'll fight you all.

Then a terrifying imperial might surged up into the sky.

Damn beasts, these are just a bunch of beasts.

Qi Xiong rushed into the food breeding grounds, took a look, and damn it, the high-grade food supplies were almost empty.

The Demon Emperors were gone, the Demon Race food supplies were gone, the Demon Sovereigns were gone, and even the Demon Kings were left with only a few scattered individuals.

Having a feast would be fine; according to Qi Xiong's idea, just bring some low-grade food for everyone to snack on.

Such good stuff, of course I have to keep it for myself.

But who would've thought, in a moment of carelessness, it's gone, all gone.

Qi Xiong rushed quickly toward the canteen; as soon as he appeared, he angrily charged at Yunluo Shèngzhǔ.

"Yinluo, I'll fucking kill you."

"Huh, Brother Qi, what's this................."

Qi Xiong attacked in anger; seeing this, Yunluo Shèngzhǔ's hairs stood on end, and he quickly moved to block.

Shi Qingfeng, Bai Zu, and the others nearby promptly intervened, sealing the space to prevent the aftereffects of their fight from spreading.

"Brother Qi, what's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong? You say what's wrong, you damn well give back my Demon Emperor, give back my Demon Race food supplies............."

"Isn't this.......... the feast you said we'd have tonight?"

"Did I fucking let you eat these?"

"What should we eat then? Brother Qi, you need to prove your imperial position; without preparing some good stuff, how can you show your joy?"

"Heh, good, good, good, then today I'll use your life to express my joy."

Saying this, Qi Xiong attacked without hesitation; Yunluo Shèngzhǔ had no choice but to dodge and resist.

It's clear that Qi Xiong is really angry; damn it, you know how hard it is to get a Demon Emperor food item now? The entire Demon Race only has five Demon Emperors left—eating one reduces the count—and you just wasted two of them in one go, damn it.
