214: Reversal again, the biggest beneficiary

This time, it wasn't just the crowd that was dumbfounded. Even Kong Wu Dao was a bit bewildered.

Heh! This "heartless" little lass; he had specifically stood up for her sake. Yet, this little lass had turned into a little foodie, wanting to feast first!

The Master of Wangyue Pavilion looked as if he had grasped a lifeline. While looking delighted, he nodded at Nangong Xinyue like a chicken pecking at rice.

"My Lady! Please rest assured!"

"This old man will definitely bring out the finest ingredients from the bottom of my Wangyue Pavilion's treasure chest to prepare the most sumptuous feast of celestial delicacies for you!"

As he spoke, the Wangyue Pavilion Master began listing the dishes. Every dish was cooked using rare and precious treasures.

Although Cultivators no longer needed to eat, food cooked with these rare and precious treasures could satisfy cravings and even improve their cultivation.

Everyone remained silent, but their gazes converged on Kong Wu Dao with tacit understanding. Clearly, whether this matter could be put to rest depended on him.

However, countless people believed that, given Kong Wu Dao's personality, he would absolutely not choose to let Long Aoyu off temporarily just because of such a simple excuse.

Even Long Aoyu was prepared to completely break ties with him. Yet, the scene that followed left everyone dumbfounded again.

Kong Wu Dao's tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed. His aura dissipated completely like a receding tide.

"Forget it."

"Since I was standing up for you, and you've already said so, what else can I say?"

In any case, for this trip to the Nine Underworld Secret Realm, Long Aoyu had already been written on his list of targets to be executed. Regardless of the process, this guy, Long Aoyu, had to die.

Since Nangong Xinyue wanted to feast first, he would show mercy and let him live for a few more days.

"This..."

Everyone was dumbfounded. Looking at each other, their expressions were full of disbelief.

Wasn't Kong Wu Dao a peerless ruthless man who always kept his word and never left any survivors? Was he really letting this matter go just because of the absurd reason given by that woman in the white dress about wanting to eat?

Holy crap!

Who exactly is this woman in the white dress? Kong Wu Dao's Dao Companion? But looking at their level of intimacy, it doesn't seem like it! Could it be... some sister of Kong Wu Dao that no one has ever met?

Although Kong Wu Dao had temporarily put the matter aside, he still relied on his own prestige to make Long Aoyu unwillingly cough up "Gold Coins" as an apology.

After all, Long Aoyu was still very wary of Kong Wu Dao. He didn't want to have a major conflict with him here, which would cause their Ancient True Dragon Clan's plan to fail before even entering the Nine Underworld Secret Realm.

Furthermore, Kong Wu Dao was notoriously fickle. He was also afraid that refusing Kong Wu Dao would cause the latter to attack recklessly regardless of the consequences. It was better to lose money to avoid disaster.

Long Aoyu could only swallow his anger with a gloomy face.

Of course, after such an incident, Long Aoyu and many other Prodigies of the Ancient True Dragon Clan had completely lost interest. Having only made an appearance, they left Wangyue Pavilion with gloomy faces, not intending to attend the subsequent banquet.

"I've recovered your pride for you. Don't blame me, your old friend, for not being loyal. Since these things are compensation for you, you should keep them."

Kong Wu Dao handed the things he had extracted from Long Aoyu to Nangong Xinyue. However, she did not accept them.

"I don't want them."

"I'm following you from now on anyway, so my things are yours."

"Compared to this, I'm a bit hungry. Let's go eat a big meal instead."

Without waiting for Kong Wu Dao to refuse, she pulled him toward Wangyue Pavilion. Kong Wu Dao was slightly taken aback and shook his head with a light chuckle.

He did remember now. Nangong Xinyue had always been a little foodie. She could barely resist the temptation of delicious food. Every time she visited his Space-Time Forbidden Zone, she would demand a big meal and insist on dragging him along.

"Dummy..."

But Nangong Xinyue muttered very softly. The banquet itself didn't really matter. She wasn't actually craving the food; she mainly liked the feeling of dining with Kong Wu Dao.

She knew Kong Wu Dao was always busy. Busy cultivating. Busy getting stronger. Even after she woke up, he hadn't had time to see her.

Countless epochs had passed now. This banquet might be a rare opportunity for her to enjoy some leisure time with Kong Wu Dao.

Compared to those few insignificant loaches, dining with Kong Wu Dao was naturally more important.

Watching the backs of the group from the Space-Time Forbidden Zone, many Cultivators took a long time to come back to their senses.

"I really didn't expect... Divine Son Wudao to have such a gentle side!"

"Gentle? When he crippled over two thousand experts by himself in the Heavenly Firmament Dao Domain, you weren't saying that back then!"

"But Divine Son Wudao isn't the type to be obsessed with beauty, right? Why is he on such good terms with that woman in the white dress?"

"Compared to this nonsense, haven't you noticed that Divine Son Wudao's aura seems even stronger?"

"Could he have broken through to the fifth level of the God King Realm?"

Listening to the discussions of the countless Cultivators around, Wu Huang, who had been completely left aside, looked gloomy and unsightly.

This banquet was originally organized by their Ancient Dance Family to build prestige for him. But after such a commotion, he, as the host, could be said to have lost all prestige.

The banquet that his Ancient Dance Family had spent great effort organizing, before it could even build momentum for Wu Huang, had become a foil for Kong Wu Dao right from the start! This made Wu Huang furious, but also so stifled that he wanted to vomit blood! It was truly a case of losing both the wife and the soldiers!

"Mo Xie, the way this Divine Son Wudao is looking at you seems a bit off."

"If possible, you had better not attend this banquet."

At this moment, the voice of the Other Shore Demoness suddenly rang out in Mo Xie's mind. This voice rippled deep within his Divine Soul like the tolling of a bell, causing his body to shudder violently.

When Kong Wu Dao was meeting and talking with Nangong Xinyue, he had taken advantage of a gap in their conversation to glance in his direction. Although there were many people standing in the same direction as him, Mo Xie had a feeling that Kong Wu Dao's gaze had undoubtedly locked onto him.

That high and mighty, yet playful gaze. It was as if he was being viewed as some kind of interesting toy! This filled Mo Xie with shock and fear, but even more so, with anger.

As a dignified Transmigrator bound with a Golden Finger, was he actually going to be looked down upon by the natives of this world?

"Hmph! Why shouldn't I attend? I came in fair and square with an invitation letter!"

"This banquet wasn't even hosted by him; surely he can't control this entire banquet, right?"

Furthermore, if he were to be scared off just because of an inexplicable look from Kong Wu Dao, wouldn't that be a disgrace to a dignified Transmigrator?

The Other Shore Demoness sighed inwardly. This kid had pretty good luck and talent. It's just that he had dug too many graves and had little worldly experience. A figure like Kong Wu Dao could likely kill older generation experts with ease. Let alone someone like Mo Xie, a wild kid who only knew how to dig graves all day.

However, there was nothing she could do. After all, it was Mo Xie who helped her break free from the Seal. If she just ditched him and ran, it wouldn't be right. The only thing she could pray for was that Kong Wu Dao had no interest in Mo Xie.
