1035 Every Deity Complimented i
At the heavenly realm.
The place called Heavenly Lake was where the Queen Mother stayed. It was surrounded by layers of cloud. Besides, there were stalactites on all eight directions as well. The color on them was definitely something out of this world. Over the years, the stalactites would absorb the essence of nature and form a drop of holy water after 100 years. After that, the holy water would go through 100 years of filtration. Lastly, all the filtered holy water would gather together and formed the Heavenly Lake!
Every year, the Saturn Peach Feast would be held at the Heavenly Lake. Hundreds of high-ranked deities and other special guests would be invited by the Queen Mother to celebrate the festival with her together. Normal deities would not get the chance to join them. During the ancient times when Monkey King was assigned as a horse caretaker in the heavenly realm, he was not invited to the Saturn Peach Feast. That was why he caused a great stir to it!
Today, Monkey King was crowned the title, Battle God! Naturally, he had become the Queen Mother's special guest! At the Saturn Peach Feast, he was having a drink and talking with a few other deities on the cloud. The rest of the deities were doing the same thing as well. This year, their topic was closely related to the Red Envelope Group.
"I heard that hundreds of thousands of members from the Red Envelope Group has just sent their presents to the Queen Mother! And the Queen Mother will choose ten present from it! Those ten people will be rewarded with Saturn Peaches!"
"Yes! You are right! I shall give thanks to the Three Realm Intranet and the Red Envelope Group! Finally, my grandchildren will have the chance to have a taste of Saturn Peach!" said the Eastern Sea Dragon King.
"Old Pond Loach. It's too early to feel happy for them! The Queen Mother might not like the presents given by your grandchildren!" said the Monkey King.
Clearly, the Eastern Sea Dragon King was not happy to hear the thing that Monkey King just said. However, he did not dare to do anything about it because he was beaten badly by Monkey King years ago.
"Monkey King, who do you think will get the Saturn Peach?" asked Taibai Jinxing.
"I'm not too sure about others. But. I'm pretty confident that my brother, Chen Xiaobei will definitely be rewarded with one Saturn Peach!" said the Monkey King while scratching his ears.
"You might be right about it! God Chen has many good ideas. He might be able to please the Queen Mother!" said Taibai Jinxing while nodding.
"That's right! I think that God Chen can surprise us as well!" said God Chejiao.
Cough!
Cough!
Suddenly, one of the deities made some coughing sound. Immediately, God Chejiao and Taibai Jinxing shut their mouths. A nervous look could be seen on their faces. And this deity was none other than Shen Gongpao. Considering that Chen Xiaobei was his worst enemy, he was not pleased when others said that Chen Xiaobei would be rewarded with a Saturn Peach.
"Queen Mother, have you picked ten items from the pile of presents? My guess is the patience of the beings of the Red Envelope Group is wearing thin!" said Shen Gongpao.
He was donned in a black-and-white Daoist robe while his tone had a hint of arrogance. It was as if he saw himself more powerful than the deities and creature that could not attend the Saturn Peach Feast.
"Elite God, be patient. Goddess Chexia is on her way here!"
On the northern side of Heaven, Jade Emperor and Queen Mother were sitting on the clouds overseeing the Saturn Peach Feast. Both of them were wearing a set of golden robes. Their attire made them looked really sacred and powerful. However, the Queen Mother had just addressed Shen Gongpao as an elite god. Actually, this was nothing out of the ordinary.
Since Jiang Ziya was banished to the earthly realm, Shen Gongpao has taken his place to wield the Divine Deity Lash! In other words, he is the spokesperson of the Primordial Lord of Heaven. Other than the saints, everyone else in the heavenly realm had to show him respect. That was why Taibai Jingxin and God Chejiao were so afraid of him.
"Greeting Queen Mother!"
Suddenly, a goddess in red flew to the Heavenly Lake. She was none other than the Goddess Chexia. One could see that she was holding an intricate bronze mirror. She then handed it to the Queen Mother.
"We have successfully chosen thirty presents from the mountain of presents. Please have a look at it and choose ten from it."
"Okay."
The Queen Mother nodded her head and took the bronze mirror. After that, all 30 presents started showing up one by one in the bronze mirror.
"This item is not too good… I don't like this as well… This one not bad… Give this person a 3,000 years-old Saturn Peach!"
The Queen Mother had after all seen too many rare items; that was why she could be really picky when it came to choosing the thing that pleased her. Every other three gifts, she would at least eliminate two of them. Seemingly, the Queen Mother was forced to pick something that she liked. There was no joy could be sensed from her when she chose those gift.
"Should have let you do the picking instead!" said the Queen Mother.
"Queen Mother, be patient. Wait till you see the last gift!"
"Oh? Is that right?"
Upon hearing that, the Queen Mother started to look forward to checking the last gift. She was elated when she set her eyes upon it.
"What is this?! It looks like jade sculpture but it's not made from jade! It looks it's made of silk but it's not! Bird are flocking to the phoenix! It looks so surreal! Perfect!"
Upon hearing that, every single deity could not wait to take a look at it.
"What is that thing? I can't believe the Queen Mother is complimenting it!"
"I thought the Queen Mother has seen everything within three realms? It's hard to believe that the gift can impress her!"
"Queen Mother! What is that? Can we all take a look at it?"
...…
Feeling excited, the Queen Mother nodded her head immediately.
"I want all of you to take a look at it as well! I can't quite figure out what this thing is!"
Right after that, the Queen Mother summoned a cloud to her and placed the item on top of it. Then, the cloud started to circle around the deities. Everyone could have a look at it closely.
"It's so beautiful! I wonder what this is made from. Can I touch it?" asked God Erlang in a curious manner.
"Don't touch it! What if you damage it?" said Monkey King while glaring at God Erlang.
"Don't touch! Don't touch! It looked like it's made from something delicate and soft! I can't quite figure this thing out as well! You might destroy it if you touch it!" said Taibai Jingxin.
"This is so magical! I can't believe we all never seen this kind of thing before!" said the East Sea Dragon King.
"The material that used to craft it is absolutely breath-taking! And the crafting skill is masterful! Birds are flocking to the phoenix! It's just like hundreds of deities flocking to the Queen Mother! This piece of art is really well though! It's no wonder that our Queen Mother likes it so much!" said God Chejiao.
Even Shen Gongpao could not help but compliment the art piece.
"I have never expected that the beings in the Red Envelope Group can come up something this perfect!"
"Elite God, so, you think this gift is not bad as well, right?" asked the Queen Mother.
"It's really not bad! Goddess Chexia, who's the one that prepared this gift? I think he should get the first place!"
"God Chen is the one that prepared this gift!"
"Who?"
Shen Gongpao almost fell to the ground after hearing the person that prepare this gift.
