Chapter 127
Although they got the peaches, and nine-thousand-year-old ones at that, how come it feels like they're the ones who lost out?
Looking around, a immortal tiptoed over to another immortal who was eating heartily.
Skilled and familiar, he picked up the extra chopsticks beside him and was about to pick up some food.
He wanted to taste what kind of flavor this was, unexpectedly so exaggerated
"Pa!"
Before he could even touch it, his hand was slapped away, caught red-handed.
Seeing the fierce gaze, the immortal about to steal a bite gave a dry laugh and said, "Cultivation Alliance Honorific, may the Almsgiving Monk share a taste?"
"No, not enough, not enough to eat." That immortal replied coldly, then immediately sank back into the immersion of the food.
The few immortals who only had peaches left to eat stared at each other, and compared to the whole hall, they looked particularly out of place and awkward.
Originally, as immortals, their desire for food was quite bland, but they couldn't resist the temptation of so many immortals eating together.
Not even seeing the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother on the main seat unable to stop, one can imagine how excellent the taste of this dish is.
Careless!
Everyone watched the Maitreya Buddha eating heartily, their inner desire to sneak a few bites unbearable, after all, ten tables of dishes, that much, wanting to finish it all would be...!
Before the immortals' thoughts could finish, they saw the Maitreya Buddha with a huge mouth, devouring another plate of food.
Then, as if nothing happened, he picked up another plate.
"..."
Forget it, a few people could only return to their own seats and began to meditate.
The time was about right, and the Heavenly Court's prepared dance performance began—a woman in white robes, ascending to immortality, leading a group of palace maids walking gracefully.
Eyebrows like a painting, lips lightly touched, simple and elegant makeup, hard to hide her stunning beauty.
Chang'e, the First Beauty of the Three Realms widely spread throughout the Three Realms, also the face of the Heavenly Court's music and dance troupe, whenever there is a major event, she is invited to appear.
One dance captivates the world, the reputation is not undeserved.
Chang'e and the palace maids came to the center of the Yaochi open space, gracefully bowing toward the main seat, but the Haotian Yaochi was busy fighting over food.
"Don't grab this, this is what I want to eat!" Looking at the Yaochi eating a dish nonstop, Haotian's face turned anxious, and he protested in a low voice.
"Who let you eat my Hong Lu Zhu Tui?" Yaochi refused to yield, her chopsticks never stopping.
The two were secretly competing, completely unaware of what was happening.
Chang'e:...
"Let's begin." Slightly turning sideways, her voice clear and cold yet moving, Chang'e instructed the palace maids following behind.
Taking their positions, some palace maids played classical instruments, while others served as accompaniment dancers.
Surrounding her, Chang'e seemed to gather all the beauty of the world into herself.
Raising her wrist, lowering her brow, moving with the music, her black hair like ink, long sleeves fluttering, like a fairy or spirit, her jade feet lightly touching, as if stepping from a dream.
Twirling long sleeves, elegant and vigorous, the music clear and cool to the ears, flowing water and moving clouds, like a dragon flying, like a phoenix dancing, truly her dance is unparalleled, worthy of the title of beauty.
Chang'e's thin lips curled into a faint smile, she was very satisfied with her performance in this dance.
Listening to the faint sounds by her ears, even though Chang'e's nature is cold and quiet, she couldn't help but feel a bit proud, those immortals' dance moves need not be said, they must have been entranced by her, now discussing and praising.
Looking closely, just as she wanted to admire their expressions for a moment, the next moment, Chang'e was completely dazed, standing frozen in place.
Where was there any praise? Clearly just the sound of bowls and chopsticks clashing!
The only person speaking was still praising how delicious the food was.
"Another plate of rice!" Tianpeng shouted at the serving immortal attendant, and upon seeing the standing Chang'e in the center, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes.
Unconsciously, a trace of infatuation arose in his heart,
and moreover, there was a hidden, intensifying trend.
But then, an immortal attendant brought up a new dish, steaming fragrance entering the nose.
Then...
"Hurry up and serve the rice, is this little bit enough for anyone to eat!" Tianpeng instantly regained his focus, turned his head without paying attention, and shouted at the immortal attendant again.
Tianpeng was even more inexplicably, previously looking at Chang'e he had never felt this way.
Shaking his head, Tianpeng stopped thinking wildly, come what may, as long as it doesn't delay his meal, it's fine.
Finally found a substitute for Chaos Residence, shouldn't he eat his fill?
Woman?
Hmph, only affects my eating speed!
Chang'e trembled with anger, clearly before the Peach Banquet was held, the Heavenly Court had repeatedly asked her to perform, the attitude very solemn.
So she carefully prepared this dance, and the result? Just this? Making a fuss!
Chang'e's face turned slightly pale, standing with the palace maids was not an option, retreating was not an option.
Then a more alert immortal attendant stepped forward respectfully and said: "Immortal Maiden Chang'e, your seat has been prepared, please follow this servant."
Someone gave her a step up, Chang'e gratefully nodded and said: "Then thank you."
The palace maids retreated, and Chang'e was brought to sit where the immortal maidens gathered.
Looking at the dishes before her, Chang'e's anger flared up, regarding the title of First Beauty of the Three Realms, she didn't take it very seriously.
In her heart, only the Palace Master deserves that title of First Beauty of the Three Realms.
However, the Palace Master lives in seclusion, not well-known in the Three Realms, but regarding her own charm, Chang'e is still confident.
She knows there will definitely exist beings in the Three Realms with greater charm than her, such as the Palace Master, and many renowned immortal maidens would not lose to her.
Yet, she never imagined that the one who defeated her would be food!
This is too insulting!
Chang'e, even in eating, she's not as good?
Chang'e's originally ice-skinned and jade-boned fair face now had a flush of red clouds appear, both from anger and from shyness.
Looking up at the surrounding immortal maidens, she still recognized a few powerful ones, such as Doumu Yuanjun and Sanniang.
Especially Doumu Yuanjun and Sanniang, these are powerful beings with cultivation equal to the Palace Master.
But now they are all enjoying the delicacies, the happiness on their faces indescribable—could it really be that this food has some charm?
Chang'e did not understand, and she would not rest until she figured it out!
With resistance in her heart, Chang'e reluctantly held her chopsticks, scrutinizing the dishes many times, yet found nothing wrong.
After a moment's thought, she chose a dish she believed to be the worst, closed her eyes, and gently sent the food to her cherry lips.
Before she could chew carefully, the flavor surged straight up, stimulating her soul.
My goodness, this is too delicious!
Chang'e suppressed the urge to cry out, her eyes wide open, yet her teeth unconsciously chewed delicately.
She could not bear to stop.
Deeply puzzled, she had clearly chosen what looked like a greasy meat dish, yet why was it still so delicious?
This meat is fatty yet not greasy, actually making her, who usually eats lightly, feel no discomfort at all, but rather a hint of smoothness.
The fragrance rampant between her lips and teeth is supremely wonderful, making her heart feel somewhat weightlessly elated.
In an instant, Chang'e's anger also vanished completely, and she finally understood why these immortals are all like this.
This is certainly not her fault—it's simply that the food is too delicious!
