"Didn't you have a good time fighting? Let us give you two slaps. "The carpenter chuckled.
"Scram!" Miao Yi roared. He quickly rolled to the other side of the ice bed to hide.
"Stop fooling around! This isn't the inn! " The Lady Boss stopped the carpenter and stonemason. From their words, she seemed to know that they had been torturing Miao Xiao Er a lot in the inn.
She walked up and stared at the two bright red palm prints on Miao Yi's face. "Niu Er, what are you doing? Why did you slap yourself for no reason? Did you do something wrong? "
The carpenter chuckled. "You're grinning like an idiot. It doesn't look like you did something wrong. More like you're itching for a beating."
There was no way to explain this! Miao Yi changed the topic. "Lady Boss came here personally. Do you have any orders?"
The Lady Boss didn't really have any orders. She knew that Miao Yi was afraid of exposing himself, so she didn't bring him along. She just let him cultivate here. However, the Ice Palace was hosting a banquet today. She didn't want Miao Yi to come in vain, so she asked the carpenter and stonemason to call Miao Yi over.
However, there was no response from the carpenter and stonemason. The Lady Boss was curious. He was clearly inside, so why wasn't there a response? Did something happen to him?
As soon as the three of them barged in, they saw Miao Yi slapping himself while grinning like an idiot. It was quite scary.
They didn't know that Miao Yi was immersed in his excitement. If he hadn't slapped himself twice to wake himself up, he probably wouldn't have heard their conversation.
However, the Lady Boss wouldn't explain to Miao Yi why she barged in. 'I just barged in whenever I wanted to.' Seeing that he was fine, she didn't ask any further. "I don't have any orders. The Ice Palace is hosting a banquet today. Do you want to go and take a look?"
'That's it! ' How could eating and drinking compare to that? Miao Yi's face was still red from the slap. He chuckled. "I won't be going. I'm fine. Don't worry about me. You guys go ahead, I'll just stay here and cultivate. "His expression made the Lady Boss want to personally give him two more slaps.
The stonemason shook his head and sighed. "This kid really slapped himself silly. Does he care about a day or two of cultivation? It wasn't easy to get here. He shouldn't miss out on what he deserves. "
Miao Yi couldn't wait to chase them away. Of course, he cared about these one or two days of cultivation. He extended his hand and said, "Take care, Lady Boss."
The Lady Boss rolled her eyes and turned around. "Ignore him. Let's go."
"Uh … Lady Boss." Miao Yi seemed to have thought of something. Suddenly, he ran forward to stop her.
The stonemason chuckled. "Regret? You want to go again? "
Miao Yi ignored him and smiled apologetically at the Lady Boss, "Lady Boss, how many days are we staying in the Ice Palace?"
The Lady Boss replied, "I won't be able to stay for too long. However, the 200,000th birthday is no ordinary joyous event. Although we won't be like the mortals in the secular world, we will still have a small banquet every three days and a big banquet every five days. A small banquet and a big banquet are necessary, otherwise, such a joyous event wouldn't be enough to celebrate."
Miao Yi understood and said, "Two waves of trouble. I'll be here for about ten days! "
"Today is the third day, and it happens to be a small banquet. If you don't want to go, then forget it. However, you still have to show your face during the big banquet. I know you're worried about exposing yourself. With the carpenter and stonemason accompanying you, there's no need to be afraid. I don't believe anyone can forcefully take off your mask. If you keep hiding, people will think we're afraid of trouble and that you're shameless. Our Tempest Tavern still has our pride! "The Lady Boss turned around and beckoned the stonemason and carpenter to leave together.
"Lady Boss …" Miao Yi chased after her. He still wanted to reject the idea of showing his face during the banquet.
"It's decided then!" The Lady Boss left without any hesitation.
Miao Yi was speechless. He quickly turned around and retreated back into his room. He didn't have much time left. He couldn't afford to waste it. There was no need to think too much about it now. His priority was to quickly refine the Orb of Will. Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Miao Yi tossed an Orb of Will into his mouth and began cultivating.
As soon as he used the Fiery Star Art, tiny blue dots invisible to the naked eye immediately appeared on the ice walls of the room. They fluttered towards Miao Yi, who was still sitting cross-legged.
Another day passed. With his eyes closed, Miao Yi's lips curled into a smile. As expected, another blue star had appeared in his art source. His refining speed had increased to eleven orbs a day.
After another day, the fourth blue star in his art source that corresponded to the red star appeared. The two stars were slowly rotating, attracting each other. To Miao Yi, there was nothing in this world that could be more alluring than this little star. This was because his refining speed had increased to twelve orbs a day. This meant that his cultivation speed had greatly increased.
Right now, he really didn't want anyone or anything to disturb him. He didn't want to provoke anyone or anything either. He just wanted to make use of this rare opportunity to cultivate in peace.
However, this world wasn't a world where he lived alone. There would always be people and things that he had to deal with. It was unavoidable. In the blink of an eye, it was already the fifth day since he'd arrived at the Antarctic Ice Palace. It was time for a small banquet every three days, and a big banquet every five days.
"Niu Er, let's go. We're going to the banquet." The carpenter barged in and shouted.
Miao Yi could only sigh and stop cultivating. He got up and left the room, standing guard outside the Lady Boss's room with the stonemason and the carpenter.
As soon as the Lady Boss came out, she shot a glance at Miao Yi, then turned around and left. The three of them followed her down to the grand hall below.
The grand hall of the ice castle was quite spacious. There were over a hundred round ice tables arranged in a circular pattern, each with ten seats. The tables were filled with seafood delicacies, all of which were local specialties of the Antarctic Ice Palace. The entire hall was filled with a fragrant aroma. Coupled with the enchanting colors of the ice palace, the banquet was truly relaxing.
When they came down, there were already quite a number of people in the hall. Some sat together with their masters, while others sat together with their servants.
The Lady Boss smiled and waved her hand to reject the invitations. She didn't bother with her subordinates, and led the three of them to choose an empty table to sit at.
The guests of the banquet gradually appeared. When Miao Yi saw Yue Yao with Tang Jun. He wasn't sure if Tang Jun was doing it on purpose, but after a moment of surprise, he actually led his people over.
"Yun Zhiqiu, you don't mind if we sit here, do you?" Tang Jun asked with a smile.
The Lady Boss knew that Miao Yi didn't want to expose himself, so she purposely chose a seat that was closer to the side. She didn't want to squeeze in front. She reckoned that the two Big Brothers from Flowing Clouds Dune Sea would come over when they saw her. Who knew that Tang Jun would come over to join in the fun?
However, the Lady Boss wasn't the one making the decisions here. Everyone here was a guest, so there was no reason for her to refuse an empty seat. Miao Yi could only smile and extend his hand.
Tang Jun turned to his two subordinates, who were about to leave to find another seat, and said, "Since Lady Boss Yun doesn't mind, let's be casual today and sit together."
And so, the four people from the Realm Beyond Heaven also sat at the same table.
Miao Yi was speechless. Not only did Yue Yao keep throwing glances at him the moment she sat down, but the moment Little Third arrived, he immediately attracted the gazes of many talented youths in the surroundings. If it weren't for the fact that it was inconvenient, they would have squeezed their way over as well.
'Little Third, oh Little Third. If I knew that you would be so beautiful when you grew up, I would have crippled your face back then …' Miao Yi thought to himself.
Once everyone had arrived at the banquet, the South Pole Old Ancestor was the last to make his appearance. He led the North Pole Old Ancestor and the Four Constellation Overlords to the banquet. The few old demons who were close to the same generation as him sat on the main seats. With the four Constellation Overlords present, no one else dared to approach them.
The eight Supreme Yao Kings that the four Constellation Overlords had brought along sat at another table, and no one dared to approach them.
"There's no need to stand on ceremony, everyone. This is just a small banquet, and I apologize for my lack of hospitality. Please enjoy yourselves!" The South Pole Old Ancestor laughed heartily as he called out to his guests. Immediately, a group of dancers rushed over from both sides, and the hall was soon filled with the sounds of singing and dancing. The banquet had officially begun.
After the South Pole Old Ancestor raised his cup to the guests at his own table, he then led a few of his disciples around the tables to toast and chat with them.
At every table, there was a little demon serving them.
"Yun Zhiqiu, I hope you won't find me unwelcome when you visit Tempest Tavern next time!" Tang Jun found a topic of conversation and raised his cup to the Lady Boss.
"Oh! Tang Jun, what are you talking about? How can I not welcome someone who's offering me money? I can't wait for you to stay here for a few years. "The Lady Boss smiled and raised her cup.
"A few years? Even if I sold myself, I wouldn't be able to afford that much. "
The two of them raised their cups in response, then downed their cups together.
After the little demon serving them filled up their cups, Tang Jun took the initiative to give the Lady Boss some face. Naturally, the Lady Boss had to return the gesture as well. She raised her cup to Yue Yao and said, "Fairy Yue Yao, you are truly as beautiful as a goddess. My three subordinates were dumbfounded when they saw you. I bet they've never seen such a beautiful girl in their entire lives."
'Really? I couldn't tell! ' Yue Yao subconsciously glanced at Miao Yi, then raised her cup and thanked him.
"Brother Mu, Brother Shi, and Brother Niu." Tang Jun raised his cup again.
The three of them exchanged glances, then stood up and raised their cups in thanks. They downed their cups in one gulp and sat down.
As soon as the wine entered his mouth, Miao Yi realized how extraordinary this wine was. It was so cold that it made one shiver. However, as soon as it entered his stomach, it immediately transformed into a warm current that flowed through his limbs and bones, making him feel comfortable all over.
The carpenter had already transmitted his voice over to Miao Yi and explained, "This wine is called Ice Dew. Drinking it over a long period of time can aid one's cultivation. It's a specialty of the Ice Palace, and it's hard for a normal cultivator to even have a sip of it. This time, the South Pole Patriarch has brought out so much wine for his guests.
After toasting the wine a few more times, it was basically just the Lady Boss and Tang Jun chatting happily. Miao Yi and the others were basically servants, so it was already a privilege for them to sit together. They didn't have the right to speak, so they just ate and drank in silence. Miao Yi didn't want to say anything either.
When the South Pole Patriarch had finished toasting the wine on every table, the Lady Boss and Tang Jun left their seats and walked around, raising their cups. The scene immediately became a little chaotic, but at the same time, it was quite festive.
About two hours later, the dancers in the center of the hall finally stopped. Someone carried a long ice table in front of the South Pole Patriarch's table. It was covered in a thick layer of snow, and Miao Yi didn't know what was placed on top of it, but it attracted everyone's attention.
The carpenter transmitted his voice over, "Niu Er, the main event of the banquet is about to begin."
Miao Yi noticed that everyone was returning to their seats, so he couldn't help asking, "What's the main event?"
