Swallowed Star: Food Shocks the Universe
Chapter 69 Banquet
Xue Xi worked for a long time at Qingfeng Villa, transforming it into a rural pastoral style that suits her taste. The original castle was turned into a three-story attic with carved beams and painted rafters. Several bronze wind chimes were hung on the eaves, and crisp and melodious bells rang when the breeze blew.
The third floor is the bedroom, the second floor is for entertainment and washing, and the first floor is the living room. Xue Xi turned off the power here and had a good sleep. The next day, she was woken up by the computer and found hundreds of emails from Luo Feng. It suddenly occurred to her that she had left Qiulong Star without telling Luo Feng. He must have been so anxious because he couldn't find her after returning to Qiulong Star.
He quickly entered the virtual universe and appeared at the place where he exited last time. Before he could send a message, a white light appeared beside him. Anxious Luo Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xue Xi was safe and sound.
"Fourth sister, you left home without saying a word and without sending a message. I thought you were captured by the researchers and taken to be sliced and studied." Luo Feng snorted unhappily.
Xue Xi rubbed her face with her middle finger in embarrassment. "Oh, I was actually thinking about coming back after attending the Food Tasting Conference. Who would have thought that I would almost die because of a dish? I'm now on Black Dragon Star with Man Luo. Don't worry, I'm safe now!"
She briefly told Luo Feng about her exciting experiences in the past six months. Luo Feng's face kept changing as he listened. Finally, when he heard that it was the Immortal King of the Virtual Universe Company who made a move, he looked at Xue Xi as if she were a god. In the end, he didn't say a word, but remained silent for a long time with his thumbs up.
"Okay, then you should just stay on Black Dragon Star and we'll see each other in the genius battle. These days, the Skyworm will be successfully bred, and I will immerse myself in comprehending the laws of space. You better be careful."
Xue Xi nodded: "Don't worry, I won't take any more risks except tofu pudding auction to make some pocket money, so you can practice with peace of mind."
Luo Feng didn't say anything else, and his figure disappeared in the virtual universe in a flash. Presumably, he went to pay attention to the birth of the Kongming worm. Xue Xi was very curious about the scene of watching her own birth, but it was a pity that she couldn't see it with her own eyes.
There was nothing big happening in the virtual universe, except for a few virtual world game production teams who treated her as a sucker and sent her countless messages asking if she was interested in dominating another world. Xue Xi flipped through the messages, deleted them, and went offline. She was not a person who would waste her ambition on playing around.
After exiting the virtual universe, she stretched her body vigorously, showing her increasingly proud curves. After washing up, Manluo sent her a message saying that the royal family was going to a banquet and asked if she wanted to go. Xuexi was just about to go out to find food, so she agreed immediately.
From the wardrobe that Xu Xin had given her, she chose a set of fairy-like white ancient costume, with hidden buttons and wide sleeves. When she put it on, she looked regal, elegant, dignified, graceful and lively.
On the way out of the city, the aliens who were attracted by the strange costumes did not crash into the telephone poles (mainly because there were no telephone poles). Instead, people from clothing companies chased her and asked if she could sell the clothing designs to them. There was even a wealthy businessman who offered hundreds of millions of Qianwu coins to ask Xue Xi to be her spokesperson.
Are you kidding? Is Xue Xi the kind of person who would bend over backwards for Qian Wu coins? Besides, it was breakfast time. After leaving the city, he immediately took out the Panlong wooden sword and flew to the imperial capital, leaving behind a group of disappointed clothing companies.
With her wide sleeves fluttering in the wind and the golden wooden sword under her feet, Xue Xi felt like a female swordsman flying on a sword, even though she was flying a sword.
Soon, the imperial city with the black dragon sculpture coiled around it appeared in sight. The soldiers guarding the city stopped Xue Xi and said, "What are you doing? The imperial city prohibits entry of outsiders!"
Xue Xi signaled the intelligent optical computer to project the invitation letter sent by Manluo, thinking to herself that it seems that she will have a chance to buy an intelligent life in the future. This mechanical intelligence is too stupid.
After checking the invitation letter, the soldiers guarding the city withdrew their weapons and signaled Xue Xi that she could go in. Xue Xi lowered her arms and stepped into the capital of this vast empire.
Passing through the huge black city wall that is hundreds of feet high, what comes into view is not the hawking of vendors in TV dramas, but the patrolling guards.
Xue Xi was walking in the imperial capital. Her white dress was totally out of place with the city, which made her feel out of place. There was little life in the city, and there was basically no sound of people moving around. There was only the sound of armor and weapons being trained, and there were checkpoints constantly checking something.
As she walked, Xue Xi had a sense of déjà vu as if she was sightseeing in a ghost town. A chill ran down the back of her head and she was a little hesitant to go. But when she thought of Manluo being here, she was not so scared anymore.
Turning a corner, a huge crowd appeared in front of the palace gate. The lively crowd made Xue Xi feel relieved. However, she was also very curious. Why were all the people in the imperial capital gathering here?
When they got closer, they found a group of people in prison uniforms kneeling in the huge square in front of the palace. Xue Xi and an old lady nearby asked, "Sister, what happened in the capital? Why are so many people gathered here?"
The old lady was so delighted by the crisp call of "sister" that she immediately whispered to Xue Xi, "Keep your voice down. It is said that the emperor has discovered a spy from a foreign race and is preparing to behead him. The army has gathered us here to deter the villains. Just watch."
So that's how it is. Xue Xi nodded, but what's so good about beheading? It's just a bunch of planetary and stellar scapegoats. It actually affected her appetite.
Walking around the crowd, Xue Xi showed the invitation letter to the imperial city guards and headed straight to the banquet venue.
Entering a palace with a towering dragon head, the colors suddenly became bright. Man Luo, who was chatting with some old friends, saw Xue Xi coming in with a few old guys. She introduced: "This is the genius girl I told you about. I'm betting on her in the genius battle. Xue Xi, these are Huang Yan from the Giant Axe Fighting Arena, Li Yuan from Galaxy Bank and First Bank, and Wang Tianba."
Xue Xi bowed to the immortals of several giant forces: "Xue Xi greets the adults."
The old man Huang Yan from the fighting arena glanced at Xue Xi with a smile, which made her feel as if she was seen through. "Not bad, a good candidate. It seems that he has more than just the basics in the principles of water and fire. Manluo, you have a good eye."
Man Luo smiled modestly: "No, no, the guy that Brother Huang invested in the last battle of the strong is not bad, you made a lot of money."
After that, they boasted to each other for a while. When a man in a black dragon robe sat in the first seat, it meant that the banquet was about to begin. Then Xue Xi sat in the front seat with Man Luo, waiting for the host's arrangements.
Xue Xi secretly sent a message to Man Luo: "Grandpa Man Luo, when I came here, there were a lot of people being beheaded outside. What's going on? Could it be that the old emperor has punished those who have eliminated soul slavery?"
Man Luo tasted the wine in the glass and replied calmly: "Not really. Those who were enslaved by the souls were interrogated by the company's inspection team and then made meritorious contributions. As for the group outside, hehe, they are just idiots who were blinded by the interests."
Xue Xi understood that those were real spies who were not enslaved by souls but bought by interests. The old emperor also used these people to vent his anger that the state machinery had been infiltrated like a sieve. It was simply terrible. Xue Xi had taken a rough look before and estimated that at least tens of thousands of people had lost their heads during the banquet!
