Under the watchful eyes of the gods, a group of people slowly entered the palace.
The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother sat on the main seat in the middle of the palace without any suspense.
The Seven Fairies stood on both sides of them, in charge of serving the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.
Li Jing sat on the left, next to the Jade Emperor's throne.
From this seat, one could tell that Li Jing was the most powerful person in the heavens after the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.
"Phew …"
Chen Xiaobei breathed a sigh of relief.
At this point, the most powerful people in the heavens were all sitting in this palace.
After drinking a cup of wine, the entire palace would be completely silent. Then, Chen Xiaobei could go to Jade Lake Divine Palace to save people. Even if there was a fight, it would not attract any powerful enemies that he could not handle.
Just like that, Chen Xiaobei waited quietly in the dark.
"Everyone, please take your seats!"
After the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother sat down, they waved their hands and the gods returned to their seats.
Then, the Jade Emperor raised his wine cup and said with a smile, "I have two important things to announce today!"
Obviously, in order to not expose himself, the Jade Emperor had to make up some reason so that no one would suspect this banquet.
"First, I have a sudden epiphany recently. My Daoist heart has become more complete! Therefore, I am holding a banquet to celebrate and share my joy with all of you! "
This excuse sounded a little far-fetched, but no one could find fault with it.
After all, other than the Jade Emperor himself, no one could tell whether his Daoist heart was complete or not.
"Second, the heavens have not held a banquet for a long time. The atmosphere is heavy and oppressive. All of you have been working hard all day and rarely have time to relax. I can't bear to see this!
Coincidentally, our biggest enemy, Chen Xiaobei, has not ascended yet. We can take this opportunity to rest and relax! When he ascends to the Heavenly Realm, we will be very busy! "
Originally, the first reason was a little far-fetched. But when combined with the second reason, the effect became even better.
Right now, no one could predict Chen Xiaobei's situation.
The Jade Emperor played dumb and said that Chen Xiaobei had not ascended yet. He was in a good mood and told everyone to relax.
This was a very reasonable thing to do.
More importantly, the Jade Emperor pretended that he did not know that Chen Xiaobei had ascended.
Even if Chen Xiaobei made a big deal out of it, the Jade Emperor had the gods as his witness.
"This old fox is really smart!"
Chen saw everything and laughed in his heart, "Unfortunately, no matter how good your excuse is, you will never know what is going to happen next!"
"Pour the wine!"
The Jade Emperor instructed calmly.
The seven fairies immediately went forward and poured a cup of poisoned wine for the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.
"Everyone, raise your cups!"
The Jade Emperor raised the wine bottle in his hand high and said in a serious tone, "This is the first cup of wine. I will toast all of you! I hope that all of you will drink to your heart's content and not spoil the mood! "
These words were no longer urging him to drink, but forcing him to drink!
Whoever didn't drink it would be a dampener to the Jade Emperor!
Clearly, the Jade Emperor still hoped that Chen Xioabei would be able to rescue Xu Fu and leave safely, and not throw Xu Fu out.
Therefore, the Jade Emperor naturally had to think of a way to make everyone drink. Moreover, he had to drink more.
That was the only way to delay the crowd.
Because of this, no one would be able to escape the first cup of wine.
"We don't dare to refuse His Majesty's toast!"
All the Gods obeyed and filled their cups. They stood up and raised their cups high in the air.
"Shit!"
Chen Xiaobei's heart skipped a beat.
There were still a lot of people in the hall who did not raise their cups.
Because they did not have the right to!
First, there were the seven fairies! Then there were the hundreds of fairies in the hall!
They were in charge of serving people. They did not have Deity Positions. Naturally, they did not have the right to drink.
This was very awkward!
If these palace maids did not drink, they would immediately become agitated when the Gods fainted.
When that happened, a large number of Heavenly Soldiers would rush over and the news would be leaked to the outside world.
Chen Xiaobei's plan would be ruined!
"Your Majesty, please wait!"
But just when Chen Xiaobei was most worried, a middle-aged man in a celestial official's uniform appeared at the entrance of the hall.
"Huh?"
The Jade Emperor glanced at him coldly, a hint of displeasure in his eyes. "Who are you?"
Clearly, the rank of a celestial official was much lower than a celestial official. That was why the Jade Emperor did not even know who this person was.
"I am the head chef of the imperial kitchen. I heard that Your Majesty is going to celebrate something good, so I came to ask for a cup of wine!"
The middle-aged man said respectfully.
"Nonsense!"
The God of Cookery in the hall looked at him and shouted, "You are just a seventh-rank celestial official. You have no right to speak here! If you don't want to die, get lost! "
Although the Culinary God was shouting angrily, his eyes were filled with deep worry.
The God of Cookery was in charge of everything related to food in the heavens.
And this head chef was a minor celestial official working under the God of Cookery.
If he came to ask for a cup of wine, it was highly likely that he would anger the Jade Emperor.
That was why the God of Cookery shouted at him first to protect him. He wanted him to escape and avoid punishment.
This showed that the God of Cookery was a kind person.
But!
The head chef did not appreciate his kindness. Instead, he insisted, "If this was any other day, I would not dare to do this! But today is His Majesty's big day! I believe that His Majesty will be especially kind! "
"You … You don't know what's good for you!" The God of Cookery was furious.
"Forget it!"
The Jade Emperor said, "Come to the hall. I will give you a cup of wine!"
Just a moment ago, the Jade Emperor had announced that he had an epiphany and that his Daoist heart had become more complete!
This was a joyous occasion in itself!
If he got angry now, wouldn't he be slapping his own face?
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The head chef of the imperial kitchen hurriedly ran in and said, "Your Majesty! I want to ask for a cup of wine for all the fairies here! They have been working hard for the past few days. Your Majesty, just treat it as a reward for them! "
"What?!"
The Jade Emperor frowned. He was clearly very unhappy.
This was like asking a noble and a slave to drink together. According to the Jade Emperor's personality, not only would he not agree to it, he would also punish the celestial official heavily.
But now, a happy occasion had arrived. And what the celestial official said was reasonable.
No matter how unhappy the Jade Emperor was, he could not refuse. Otherwise, it would only make him look like a petty Celestial Emperor.
"I will allow it!"
The Jade Emperor calmed himself down and said, "Give all the maidservants here a cup of wine!"
"Wow!"
Chen Xiaobei hid in the dark, surprised and happy at the same time.
He was surprised because who was that celestial official? Why did he suddenly jump out to ask for a cup of wine?
What a joyous matter! That immortal official had really helped them a lot!
