ji yuying’s words made bai wushang look at her in a new light.
after more than a year, the red dragon emperor’s most beloved daughter had changed a lot.
she was still so lively and interesting, pure and pleasant.
but imperceptibly, his state of mind had risen by thousands of feet, and he was more confident and powerful.
especially when she was talking about the future, her eyes were like autumn water, shining with a spiritual luster, purer and brighter than the early morning sun.
it had been a long time since bai wushang had felt so relaxed.
after the food and gifts were provided, they stayed at the training ground for half a day. they talked about training pets and what they had seen and heard on dragon island.
by the time he came back to his senses, it was already the morning of the next day.
” your highness, the rulers of the dafeng, dagu, and daxiong dynasties have arrived with their troops. they are accompanied by hundreds of princes, princesses, and imperial grandsons. as the most famous little princess of the new generation, you may need to dress up for the formal meeting. ”
as soon as they left the training ground, an old servant immediately approached, bowed, and solemnly reminded.
ji yuying waved her hand and giggled, ” i’m not going. as a holy disciple of the royal court, sister ranran is already the ‘top star’ in this kind of diplomatic occasion. with brother cangyun as a ‘good wife’, that’s enough. ”
“if anyone asks, just say that i’ve overtrained and my body is weak. tell them to take care of themselves and not worry about me.”
” yes … ” the old servant was silent for a few seconds. in the end, he couldn’t say anything to stop her. he lowered his head and retreated to the corner.
“let’s go and see what’s going on.” ji yuying changed into a set of casual clothes and even changed the color of her hair with accessories, forcibly changing from a gorgeous girl who glowed with light to an unremarkable girl-next-door in the crowd.
while leading bai wushang to take a small path, he proudly explained his thoughts, ”
” the bird that takes the lead is shot down, and the snake that takes the lead is cut down. although great qian has the help of the ancient ship, the ancestral dragon court, who knows what will happen in the future? ”
” on the surface, having sister ranran is enough. brother cangyun is like a green leaf to set off the backdrop. that’s already adding flowers to a brocade. ”
” i just need to keep a low profile and grow steadily. that will be another glorious path for da qian … ”
ji yuying’s words were clear and logical, but she stuck out her tongue at the end,
” of course, if someone wants to investigate me, i might not be able to hide it. after all, i can’t just shut myself up and train in seclusion forever … ”
“i’m actually more afraid of trouble. do you know, in similar scenes when i was young, there were often people who wanted to propose marriage to my father because of their status.”
“they didn’t know that their actions would put them on the future emperor rain cherry’s blacklist.”
” i even met someone younger than me. they didn’t know anything and just saw that i was pretty, so they wanted to follow the adults ‘wishes and arrange an engagement with me. ”
“… hmph! wasn’t this asking for a beating? if i don’t beat him until he cries for his parents, i’ll be letting down those clan leaders who treat marriage as a normal meal …”
bai wushang was listening to these stories with great interest. after a short while, he had arrived at the hinterland of the inner city of imperial dragon city.
there was a super huge palace here, and it was the first choice for receiving foreign guests.
ji yuying didn’t even need to reveal her identity. with the scarlet dragon token in bai wushang’s hand, the two of them were unimpeded, and no guard dared to stop them.
“the banquet will probably start at noon. i’ll take you to a good place.”
the disguised princess had a plan in her mind. she passed through dozens of tunnels with ease and arrived at the third underground floor.
bai wushang looked around with a faint smile.
these masters who were holding knives and burning fire were clearly the royal chefs.
the dishes they made were not simple. they would use thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, mid-and high-level spiritual ingredients, and transcendent creatures.
bai wushang even saw a group of chefs, with the help of a lord-tier master, cutting up frozen sacred beast meat and making soup.
“princess yu ying …”
“her highness yuying …”
it was obviously not ji yuying’s first time here. she took the lead in freeloading and enjoying the delicacies served to the foreign guests in advance, and was finally recognized by the experienced waiter.
they looked on helplessly. they couldn’t persuade him, and they couldn’t not persuade him either. their status and position seemed particularly awkward.
everyone knew that his majesty doted on her and trusted her far more than any of the other princes and princesses.
bai wushang smiled at ji yuying as he savored the delicious food. even with his mouth full of oil, he still had to toot and threaten the attendants, telling them not to tattle or expose their whereabouts.
the little rabbit was also having a lot of fun. it was not as happy as bai yan when it ate its own carrots.
……
at noon, the state banquet started on time.
in the super banquet hall that covered an area of several thousand mu, guests in gorgeous clothes came in groups of two or three.
although some of the larger pets were not suitable to be summoned, many of the smaller pets that were less than two meters long could be seen.
bai wushang and ji yuying stood at the corner of the corridor on the fifth floor. they saw at least five saint venerables chatting happily with the red dragon emperor.
as for ji ranran, who was the focus of the banquet, she was drowned out by the praises. everyone was praising her and trying to form a better relationship with her.
ji cangyun, who was standing at the side, was still able to chat and laugh in the beginning, conversing with his peers and seniors.
in the end, he became a ‘gift-receiving boy’, helping ji ranran collect all the gifts that could no longer be stored in her storage ring.
” sigh, the first day is indeed the most tiring. even three heads and six arms are not enough. ”
in the evening, the banquet ended. ji cangyun’s butt was lying on the fiery maple dragon’s tail, the image of a prince that he had been trying so hard to maintain had crumbled.
ji ranran also held her forehead and said helplessly, ” ” it’s good to be a saint, but if this kind of social interaction is all about flattery, i’d rather fight and kill than experience it again. ”
“i heard that da xiong’s rash princess is looking for you to spar?”
ji cangyun was speechless, ” in this day and age, people are so proactive in seeking abuse? a person who has just become an earth master and is nothing at all, where did he get the courage to challenge us?”
“your highness, let’s talk about these troublesome things later. we’re not leaving until we’re drunk today!”
wu xuan carried a barrel of wine and walked in. he placed it on the ground with a loud thud, his face full of smiles.
wu huang, who was following behind, poured nine bowls of wine and arranged them neatly.
“the first toast, to the dead, to zhong qiao!”
ji cangyun’s spirit rose, as he lifted his wine cup and poured it in front of a small spirit tablet, solemnly saying,
“we’ve been in the same team for more than a month, and we’ve shared the same fate. i’ll never forget this.”
” in the future, the zhong family will allocate more resources to da qian. as long as da qian is glorious, we will not let it decline. ”
everyone drank the wine in one gulp.
“the second cup, to wushang! bringing up the rear with his own strength will give us hope of survival. there will be dangers during this period, so there’s no need to say more!”
ji cangyun raised his second cup of wine, and gulped it down.
“the third toast is still to wushang! if we were to calculate his contribution by percentage, his minimum is 90%. the six of us combined are not even half of his!”
