174: Chapter 174

Feng Yun quickly moved her body away: "This king is only afraid that you will die in the bed of some slut and waste the Demon Emperors Blood Essence, that is all. Do not get ahead of yourself."

After Xiao Bai's desire for some cuddling was rejected, he finally came back to his senses.

"What invitation letter? Why don't I have one? Could it be that Ao Wuming did this behind my back? I'll strangle him if he did."

"Whoa, Dragon City is so lively today. You can see the character for 'Longevity' everywhere."

Feng Yun was stunned by the sea of gold that met her eyes. Even in the Snake-Human Clan, gold was considered a rare item and much more valuable than ordinary things.

But here, they treated gold like dirt, using it as paint for decoration. In Dragon City, regardless of whether one was rich or poor, the outer walls of the houses they lived in were all covered with a thick layer of gold plating.

It was all planned by the government, just to show off the nouveau riche atmosphere of Dragon City.

Suddenly, a Dragon Clan guard ran over quickly, took out an invitation letter, and respectfully handed it to Xiao Bai.

"Mr. Bai, this is the banquet invitation letter from His Highness the Second Prince. His Highness is truly too busy, so he specifically ordered me to deliver it."

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Feng Yun slowly took out an identical invitation letter: "This king received it the day before yesterday. Your good brother isn't that great after all."

"You're amazing, you're so noble. Didn't you hear the subordinate say he was very busy?"

Only with the gold-crafted invitation letter could one enter the Dragon Palace main hall to eat. Those commoners without invitation letters could only crowd into the open-air plaza to eat.

They weren't picky; being able to eat at all was good enough.

In the sky outside the city, a large number of representatives from various races who had received invitations were flying in, dense as a swarm of locusts.

They all landed slowly outside the city and switched to walking to enter Dragon City. A no-fly zone was indeed very necessary.

As more and more guests arrived, the Dragon Palace main hall became lively, and the representatives began to exchange pleasantries and brag.

Xiao Bai deliberately extended his right arm and kept winking at Feng Yun: "Ahem, ahem!"

"Did you lick something unclean? Is your throat poisoned?"

"How is that possible? Would I be the kind of snake that licks things randomly?"

Feng Yun's eyes were full of disdain: "In any case, in this king's eyes, you are a licking snake. During those days we were trapped in the Demon Emperor's tomb, you licked this king plenty. You got off easy."

This touched a sensitive nerve for Xiao Bai, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Look, everyone in this hall has an invitation letter. The female companions brought by those male demons are all very sensible, holding onto their arms."

"So, shouldn't we blend into this atmosphere?"

"Her Majesty the Queen is so noble and beautiful, many ugly demons are staring at you. Having a male companion can avoid a lot of unnecessary pick-up attempts."

It sounded very reasonable, and in fact, there was nothing wrong with it.

"Fine, this king will play along with you."

"After the banquet, leave with this king. The glitz and glamour here make it easy to lose oneself."

"If you stay here for a long time, your Cultivation will decrease instead of increasing, and you will never be able to reach the Emperor Realm in this lifetime."

Feng Yun spoke coldly, her words filled with gunpowder, but Xiao Bai could still feel the concern from the Queen.

Xiao Bai took out the gold mask Feng Yun had worn before: "Dragon City lacks nothing but gold. I had a new one crafted for you; I was planning to give it to you after we returned."

"This king no longer has the face of an old woman; there is no longer any need for such a terrifying mask to cover it."

"Isn't it better to be beautiful and graceful?"

While speaking, Feng Yun had already taken off her veil, instantly becoming the center of attention.

The Sixth Princess Ao Xue, the goddess of the masses in the Dragon Clan, was overshadowed, and all eyes were focused on Feng Yun. Her original purple clothes also turned bright red.

Both her appearance and figure were impeccable, and Xiao Bai, who was standing close by, naturally became public enemy number one.

This was the Dragon City palace hall; one certainly couldn't change forms, which would make those originally ugly demons reveal their true forms, and they wouldn't be able to use Spells to cover up their eyesore appearances.

A female demon who could achieve such a perfect Take Human Form could no longer be described as one in ten thousand; she was even rarer than a beauty who appears once every four thousand years.

Ao Xue had studied for tens of thousands of years but had never been able to remove the two dragon horns on her head. She had sawed them off many times before.

At first, they would only grow back after she woke up from a sleep. As the frequency increased, they would grow back immediately after being sawed off, so she simply gave up.

She heard that Xiao Bai had excellent medical skills and wanted to ask for his help to remove them, but the Dragon Emperor was strict, so this matter was temporarily put on hold.

"Hmph, what's so great about her? When This Princess gets rid of these two damn dragon horns, I will be ten thousand times more beautiful than you."

Ao Xue was full of arrogance, completely unconvinced.

The Dragon Emperor, surrounded by his children, appeared in formal attire and greeted the guests in the main hall.

He then walked out of the main hall and waved enthusiastically to the people of Dragon City in the plaza. The huge plaza was filled with thousands of large round tables, all made of gold.

It exuded the atmosphere of a nouveau riche everywhere. As far as the eye could see in the Dragon Palace, everything was made of pure gold, even the bricks on the ground were gold bricks.

A large number of commoners gathered in the plaza, surrounding the round tables and bowing to the Dragon Emperor.

If not for this opportunity, the vast majority of them would never be able to enjoy a feast of this level in their entire lives.

"Everyone, please sit. Welcome to the birthday banquet. Please eat well and drink well; don't leave until you're drunk."

"Many thanks to the Dragon Emperor."

A sound like a mountain collapsing and a sea roaring erupted at the scene.

Xiao Bai looked around. The guests in the main hall were mostly from the Dragon Clan, with a small number of land-dwelling demons.

He felt that their status lowered the class of the birthday banquet. The vast majority of them had strength hovering around the Level 2 Demon King, and very few could reach the Level 5 Demon King.

Many were coming to Dragon City for the first time, like country bumpkins entering the city, having never seen such a magnificent hall.

The Ghost Race and Demon Race, who had good relations with the Dragon Emperor, didn't even send representatives, let alone high-level figures.

"It's really strange; they're all just small fry, completely unworthy of the stage."

Xiao Bai muttered this, and his voice was heard by a Dragon Clan man nearby, whose whole body was red, likely a Red Dragon.

"You pretty boy, you talk very arrogantly. What kind of strength do you have to be able to attend the Dragon Emperor's birthday banquet? Your female companion is quite beautiful, though."

"She matches my color well. Why don't you name a price and let me have her?"

Xiao Bai sneered contemptuously: "You are truly brave. Little unranked Red Dragon, get lost quickly and cherish your life."

"Angering my Queen is very dangerous; she will not show mercy."

"What a joke. This is Dragon City; what can you do to me?"

Swish!

Feng Yun extended her sharp nails and pierced directly through the body of the little Red Dragon prince, ripping out his heart.

"Ew, too bloody and brutal."

Xiao Bai couldn't bear to look.

She threw the dragon heart directly onto the ground. The onlookers began to panic, and the guards in the main hall quickly headed towards this side.

"Your Highness the Second Prince, a Red Dragon man here had his heart ripped out on the spot."

"Who dares to be presumptuous in the Dragon Palace main hall? Are you tired of living?"

Ao Wuming walked over aggressively, and the onlookers waited to see a good show.

Looking at Feng Yun and Xiao Bai, they expressed deep sympathy and prayed in their hearts for them to fend for themselves.

The originally irritable Ao Wuming suddenly became gentle and friendly the moment he saw Xiao Bai.

He gently waved over two guards: "Throw this bastard out to feed the dogs, and call the cleaners to clean up the blood."

"What kind of status does he have, daring to act tough in front of Brother Bai?"

"Everyone disperse. What is there to look at, you bastards? Don't you know your own status?"

They all knew Ao Wuming's temper; even if they were scolded severely, they didn't dare to talk back and could only hide further away.

The Dragon Emperor also saw all of this, but he didn't show any reaction. Sitting on the huge dragon throne, he seemed to be waiting for the arrival of important guests.

Ao Wuming smiled cheekily: "Little sister-in-law, you came at just the right time. It hasn't even been a few days, and you've become even more beautiful."

"You're countless times better than that fake, high-and-mighty courtesan."

Ahem!

Xiao Bai coughed continuously, but Ao Wuming didn't care and continued to blabber.

Ahem! Ahem!

"Brother Bai, did you lick something unclean? Is your throat inflamed and uncomfortable? I told you that courtesan was unclean and you should stay away from her."

Xiao Bai quickly dragged him to the side, his eyes full of killing intent: "If you keep spouting nonsense, I will tear your mouth apart right now."

"Usually you seem quite clever, kid, why can't you receive the signal at critical moments?"

Ao Wuming scratched his scalp awkwardly: "Sorry, I was a bit excited to see the Queen, I talked a bit too much."

Afterwards, he raised his hand to greet Feng Yun: "Little sister-in-law, I'm going to get busy. You and Brother Bai have fun."

"These pieces of trash are nothing to be afraid of. If anyone dares to provoke you, tell me, and I'll have them dragged out and slaughtered."

Ao Wushuang walked over with a gloomy face; he was very dissatisfied with Ao Wuming's actions just now.

"Second brother, how can you condone your friends slaughtering the Dragon Clan in the birthday banquet hall? It's very unlucky."

"What are you afraid of? Those unranked goods, I don't know how you invited them; not a single person with status came."

"I don't know which nerve Father Emperor misfired, actually letting you be in charge of this matter."

Ao Wuming looked at Xiao Bai: "Brother Bai and his wife are both Ninth-Level Demon Kings; how can these goods compare to them?"

"Alright, second brother, you don't need to worry about this. Do your job and don't cause any trouble."

Ao Wuming looked unconvinced and cursed in his heart: "What's so great about him? Isn't it just that he was born earlier than me?"

The Dragon Emperor's sons and daughters took their seats one after another, and the dignitaries of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon also sat down.

Three large round tables were reserved in the main hall, all of which were the best seats for the guests of honor.
