Chapter 678: Chapter 672: Invitation (3rd Update)
"That’s all I have to say, Brother Su. After the banquet, if there’s time, I’d like to invite you for a drink alone," Chu Hong said, then he left Su Chen’s side. Tonight, he wasn’t just Chu Hong; he was the Third Prince. Staying too long by Su Chen’s side would raise too many suspicions, which wouldn’t be good for Su Chen or for himself. Chu Hong wasn’t like Chu Xuan; he was more rational, thought more, and didn’t just follow his heart.
Chu Hong had just left.
"The Emperor and Consort Yun have arrived!" the court official’s voice echoed through the entire Tianhe Hall again.
Instantly, everyone turned their gaze toward the entrance of Tianhe Hall.
They saw.
A middle-aged man whose appearance could only be considered ordinary, but his presence was overwhelmingly powerful!!!
It was the kind of presence that dominated everything, a commanding aura that conquered the Myriad Realms.
It was formed from long-tenured high authority.
Though the Xuanfeng Dynasty was only a mid-level dynasty on the Divine Martial Continent, it still boasted hundreds of billions of Martial Cultivators!
The territory of the Xuanfeng Dynasty was even larger than dozens of Earths.
Leading such a vast dynasty, it was only logical that the Xuanfeng Emperor’s presence was incredibly strong.
Accompanying the Emperor, was a woman who looked gentle as water, very beautiful, and moreover, she possessed a particularly exemplary demeanor; she looked somewhat like the Seventh Princess.
The woman was indeed Consort Yun, mother of the Seventh Princess Chu Xuan, and also the most favored Imperial Concubine of the Xuanfeng Emperor.
Of course, regarding Consort Yun, the most widespread rumor was about the terrifying background of her maternal family from the great families of the Ancient Capital City in the Nan’e Ancient Country.
With the arrival of the Xuanfeng Emperor and Consort Yun, everyone inside the Tianhe Hall bowed slightly, a sign of respect.
This was the Divine Martial Continent, so unlike the ancient dynasties of Earth, there was no tradition of kneeling; a simple bow was sufficient.
Su Chen also bowed slightly, maintaining the necessary decorum.
"Jiuyou, can you discern the strength of the Xuanfeng Emperor?" Su Chen began conversing with Jiuyou.
"Creation Realm Eighth Level!" Jiuyou directly responded, "But he is considerably stronger than that old woman hiding next to the Seventh Princess, who is at the Ninth Level of the Creation Realm. Strength and realm sometimes aren’t equivalent, especially for an emperor of a dynasty, who has the bonus of the entire dynasty’s Qi and can even harness the hidden spirit vein beneath the imperial city for himself. If he pulls out all the stops, I’m certain that the Xuanfeng Emperor’s ultimate combat power is not inferior to your ultimate combat power."
"That strong?" Su Chen felt a slight shock.
"Of course. As with the Xuanfeng Imperial Family, having been inherited for millions of years, such a deep legacy is beyond your imagination," Jiuyou elucidated.
Su Chen nodded, saying nothing more.
The Xuanfeng Emperor and Consort Yun, however, walked into the Tianhe Hall, with the Emperor’s gaze pausing momentarily on many of the talents present.
People like Chen Yue, Zhang Gu, Wang Sheng, including Su Chen, caught a longer look from the Emperor.
Consort Yun, on the other hand, was different; from the beginning to the end, her gaze lingered only on two people, one being her daughter Chu Xuan and the other, Su Chen. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Soon after, the Xuanfeng Emperor and Consort Yun advanced to the main platform and took their seats at the head, with Consort Yun sitting beside him, followed by the Seventh Princess. From this, one could see the Xuanfeng Emperor’s favoritism toward the Seventh Princess; among the many princes and princesses present, only the Seventh Princess could sit on the main platform.
Of course, today was also the birthday of the Seventh Princess, naturally making it a special occasion.
"Today is the twentieth birthday of my beloved daughter, Chu Xuan, and you, present here, are the most exceptional monsters of the entire dynasty, the finest of existences. I am pleased with your arrival!" the Xuanfeng Emperor said with a smile, but even with that smile, there was still an imposing aura around him—an unexplainable, yet undoubtedly real presence. As the Xuanfeng Emperor spoke, it was clear that some in attendance were too nervous to meet his gaze.
Of course, most of the peerless monsters still dared to look the Xuanfeng Emperor in the eye.
"First, I shall raise a toast with all of you!" Thereupon, the Xuanfeng Emperor lifted his cup.
Everyone present in the Tianhe Hall also raised their cups together.
"To Azure Heaven, may the Xuanfeng Dynasty flourish for eternity, and may my daughter Chu Xuan be forever happy and joyful!" the Xuanfeng Emperor said earnestly, then gulped down his drink.
"To Azure Heaven, may the Xuanfeng Dynasty flourish for eternity, and may the Seventh Princess be forever happy and joyful!" echoed a chorus of blessings within the Tianhe Hall.
"Hahaha... Tonight, everyone let loose a bit, don’t mind my presence, make sure to enjoy yourselves to the fullest!" the Xuanfeng Emperor added, then began whispering something to Consort Yun.
As for the Seventh Princess, she sat there, somewhat listlessly, occasionally glancing at Su Chen, her beautiful eyes twinkling, lost in thought.
In the Tianhe Hall, the atmosphere initially felt somewhat oppressive, but gradually, it warmed up.
Many talented individuals, familiar and unfamiliar, began toasting and chatting with each other.
Laughter and cheerful voices filled the air.
Before long, a group of twelve songstresses walked in slowly, singing and dancing enchantingly, a sight too beautiful for words, their performance far exceeding any earthy music and dance shows by ten thousand times. Why? Because these songstresses were also formidable Martial Cultivators, incorporating Sound Wave Martial Arts in their singing, making their voices unimaginably melodious and intoxicating, and their dance moves, coupled with martial skills, stunningly beautiful.
With the music and dance starting, many geniuses completely relaxed, with some men even choosing women they fancied and beginning to dance.
Today, among the four to five hundred people in attendance, there were about three hundred men and a bit more than a hundred women.
Suddenly.
Qin Li whispered to Su Chen, "Brother Su, I want to dance too, let’s dance in a bit!"
Last night, she had given her first time to Su Chen, and now, deeply in love, her whole heart was with Su Chen. Seeing other men and women dancing and embracing intimately, she naturally yearned for the same.
Su Chen nodded without hesitation.
At the same time, at the main platform, the Seventh Princess suddenly left her seat and walked towards the lower part of the great hall.
In an instant, the lively atmosphere subdued slightly, as nearly everyone glanced at the Seventh Princess, intentionally or not.
The Seventh Princess wanted to dance too?
Suddenly, many felt their hearts race with excitement!!!
Especially the ultra top-level monsters.
Like Jian Yi, he took a deep breath and suddenly stepped forward, heading straight towards the Seventh Princess, "Respected Princess, may Jian Yi have the honor of sharing a dance with you?"
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the Tianhe Hall tightened further by three degrees when Jian Yi asked the Seventh Princess to dance. Jian Yi was one of the strongest present, probably second only to a sparse few like the Third Prince.
Jian Yi ranked first on the Yi State Domain Kings Ranking List, a peerless monster, one man with his sword, endlessly elegant, his swordsmanship dominating the youth of the entire Yi State Domain.
