Miao Yi laughed along, thinking to himself, 'It's just a randomly made up name, is it worthy of such praise? With this level of appreciation, what kind of bullsh * t gathering is this! '
Chuckling, Zhu Daneng changed the topic and asked, "Brother Niu, I was fortunate enough to follow Commander Yuan to Jade Stream Manor before, but I've never seen Brother Niu. May I know what position Brother Niu holds under Commander Bi?"
"It's just an idle position. It's not worth mentioning, so there's no point in mentioning it." Miao Yi waved his hand. Since the other had been to Jade Stream Manor, he didn't want the other to ask too much about Jade Stream Manor. He was afraid that he would be exposed if he said too much, so he changed the topic with a smile, "I just happened to come here to visit my cousin. I heard from her that Brass Gong Fort is going to hold a Bejeweled Nectar Conclave. I was suddenly interested and asked a few more questions. My cousin then gave me a token, saying that if I come with this token, Fort Master Zhu will surely not regard me as an outsider!"
"It's not your token?" Zhu Daneng was taken aback again, and asked cautiously, "May I ask who Brother Niu's cousin is?"
Miao Yi replied, "Madame Wu Hua."
"Oh … Oh …" Zhu Daneng suddenly realized, thinking to himself, 'No wonder I've never heard of a person with the surname Niu in Jade Stream Manor who could obtain Commander Bi's token. It must be Madame Wu Hua's token.
But did Madame Wu Hua have such a cousin? ' He couldn't recall, nor did he study it. The sea was vast, and he was a demon on land, so it wasn't good for him to study it in depth. Who would study Madame Wu Hua's family background for no reason? But since he had taken Madame Wu Hua's token, it couldn't be faked. A person could be faked, but this token couldn't be faked. It was indeed Commander Bi's token without a doubt.
The fifty people at the back exchanged glances, then looked at Miao Yi again, revealing a slightly playful expression. They thought some big shot had come to Jade Stream Manor, causing everyone to come out to welcome him. It turned out he was a guy who relied on nepotism.
These fifty people were the Fort Masters of each fort. When they heard that Miao Yi was actually this kind of person, many of them immediately lost interest in flattering him. With a shake of their cloaks, they turned around and went straight inside the cave.
Zhu Daneng, on the other hand, couldn't do that. If they were in someone else's territory, he could just turn around and leave. But today, he was the host of the event. Guests had come to his Brass Gong Fort's territory. Even if he didn't give face to Madame Wu Hua, he still had to give face to Commander Yuan. After all, Commander Yuan still had to call Madame Wu Hua sister-in-law.
Zhu Daneng's gaze fell on Charcoal, and he said hesitantly, "In the Sea of Constellations, it's rare to see a Yao cultivator riding a dragon steed."
Miao Yi immediately exclaimed, "This dragon steed of mine is no ordinary dragon steed. Has Fort Master ever seen a second dragon steed as fat as this one?"
"Ugh …" Zhu Daneng was visibly moved. He nodded and said, "It is indeed a little unreasonably fat. For a spirited dragon steed to look like this, it truly puts all dragon steeds in the world to shame."
Charcoal snorted at Zhu Daneng when he heard this, as if he was a little dissatisfied with someone criticizing his appearance.
Miao Yi casually pushed Charcoal's head, telling him to behave himself and not act recklessly. 'You'll still be so fat even if someone says a few words about you. It's not like you'll lose a piece of meat.'
"Fort Master is wise!" Miao Yi put on the appearance of a hedonistic son of a rich family, and proudly said, "I'm riding a dragon steed like no other in the world. It's just the right time to let everyone know the uniqueness of my steed."
"..." Zhu Daneng opened his mouth, a little speechless. 'Is this guy an idiot?
Did he use a whole dragon steed as a steed just to show off? But was there any meaning in taking out such an ugly fat dragon steed to show off? Would it be able to make others envious? '
Zhu Daneng suspected that this guy was a little abnormal. He stared at Charcoal and sighed, "Dragon steeds are born to be members of the Yao race, unlike us who still need to cultivate to become Yao. Dragon steeds are gifted with divine strength, and if they can cultivate, their future will be limitless. Unfortunately, they're also a natural hybrid. The two bloodlines mutually suppress each other, making it difficult for them to open their spiritual orifices. That's why they're reduced to being a steed. It's such a pity! "
He said it was a pity for the dragon steed, but from the tone of his voice, it seemed that it was a pity that Charcoal had become the steed of this idiot, Niu Youde.
Sighing, Zhu Daneng didn't want to say anything else. He beckoned for his subordinate to take good care of Miao Yi's steed, then turned around and extended his hand towards Miao Yi, "Brother Niu, please!"
Miao Yi extended his hand to invite him in first.
Zhu Daneng couldn't be bothered to continue being polite with him. With a wave of his arm, the cloak that dragged on the ground because of his short and fat stature, he led Miao Yi into the cave with large strides.
The main hall of the cave wasn't small. Torches stuck into the stone walls brightly illuminated the cavern.
Zhu Daneng circled around to the main seat in the center and sat down behind the long table. At this moment, regardless of the level of everyone's cultivation, he was the owner of this place, so it was only right for him to sit in the main seat.
Even though he disliked Miao Yi, before he sat down, he didn't forget to extend his hand through the air towards Miao Yi, gesturing for him to sit as a host.
On the left and right sides of the main seat, rows of long tables had already been set up. Each table was filled with all sorts of wine, meat, fruits, and melons.
Each Fort Master sat in their respective seats, drinking and chatting merrily. Beside them, there were small demons shuttling back and forth, pouring wine for them.
In the empty space in the center, two foxy women were twisting their slender waists and performing a seductive dance.
"Lord Niu, please enjoy."
A small demon politely excused himself after helping Miao Yi pour wine for him.
Miao Yi picked up the jade cup and sniffed the aroma of the wine. He discovered that the color of the wine was translucent, and its fragrance assailed his nostrils. He couldn't help but take a small sip, and his eyes slightly brightened. It was a rare fine wine. It seemed that this group of demons really knew how to enjoy themselves.
Little did he know that this was related to Commander Yuan's fondness for wine. If Commander Yuan came to any mountain fort and found that there wasn't any fine wine, he would be unhappy.
In order to cater to the preferences of their superiors, the seventy-two Fort Masters had cultivated the art of brewing fine wine over the years. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was bejeweled nectar. It wasn't something that other places in the Sea of Constellations could compare to. Miao Yi could be considered to have tasted it this time.
Looking at the piles of boiled and roasted meat on the plates, he realized that there were no chopsticks. He then looked at everyone else, and saw that they were all using their hands to tear the meat.
Naturally, he couldn't say anything. 'Guards! Give me a pair of chopsticks … I'll definitely be exposed that way. '
He could only reach out and tear off a piece of meat from an unknown bird. In the end, he almost spat it out after taking a bite. He realized that the meat here was only roasted until the surface looked well done. When he ate it, his mouth was filled with the taste of blood. The meat was slippery, and it wasn't much different from eating it raw.
But when he saw the other Fort Masters drinking and eating the meat with gusto, he could only force himself to swallow it in order to not expose himself.
After taking a bite, he didn't want to take a second bite. His teeth weren't as good as those demons'.
He picked up a bright red fruit that he had never seen before and took a bite. It was sweet, crisp, and tasty. The taste was rather unique and delicious. It was worth eating a little more.
Looking at the surrounding Fort Masters, they were either sitting together, clinking their cups and chatting, or scurrying between the long tables to chat. It could be said that they were chatting happily, and most of them appeared to be very forthright.
The atmosphere here was quite lively. It was Miao Yi's first time seeing so many demons, and it was also his first time sitting together and drinking with so many demons. He was more or less a little excited.
