At night, in the East Emperor's Mansion. In the Red Candle Palace.
At this moment, the palace was filled with songs and dances. Accompanied by melodious bells and drums, hundreds of beautiful palace maids were singing and dancing.
There were also hundreds of tables on both sides of the palace. Famous Immortals and seniors sat cross-legged behind the tables.
Outside the palace, a row of fireworks soared into the sky and exploded with a bang. Countless flowers filled with Celestial Qi lit up the sky. Among the flowers, there was a row of colorful words: "Warmly Welcoming Ye Kong's Prison Tome to Planet East Edge."
Not only the people in the main city, but the people in the cities hundreds of miles away could also see the huge words.
"Red candles hang from the branches, fire trees fight silver flowers. Tonight is a great night to get drunk, "Ye Kong said with a smile as he sat on the guest seat on the left.
"Red candles hang from the branches, fire trees fight silver flowers. Good! Well said. I didn't expect Lord Ye to be so talented in literature. " The East Emperor, who was sitting on the main seat, clapped his hands and laughed. He stood up and said, "Lord Ye, let's go. I'll introduce you to some famous people on Planet East Edge."
Ye Kong raised his wine glass and followed suit. The two of them walked down the stairs. In the past, the people below would come up to introduce themselves. However, the East Emperor and Lord Ye had taken the initiative to come down. This showed how approachable they were.
Therefore, the guests hurriedly stood up and bowed. "Your Majesty, Lord Ye, you're too kind."
The East Emperor introduced as they walked, "This is the Yellow-Browed Great Celestial. Oh, this is the Oceanic Supreme Celestial. He's the most famous senior on Planet East Edge."
Ye Kong had heard of the Oceanic Supreme Celestial before. Legend had it that the Oceanic Supreme Celestial was an old turtle in the sea of Planet East Edge. He had lived for a long time. It was said that he had existed in prehistoric times before the Immortals from the lower realms had ascended! He had lived for hundreds of millions of years.
Although he had lived for a long time, his cultivation speed was extremely slow. If one were to say that Ye Kong's cultivation speed was slow, he was thousands of times slower than Ye Kong! After living for so long, he was merely an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.
However, there were still benefits to living a long life. He had a wide range of social connections. In addition, this fellow was usually more fair in handling matters. Therefore, whenever there was a family matter, such as the discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they liked to ask him to mediate. Or if there was any important matter, they would ask him to be a witness!
Ye Kong said, "Immortal Sealand, you can actually take some time to record your life and publish a book. Let the future generations know what kind of people have appeared in the Celestial Realm. Some good, some bad, some tearful. I'm sure this will be passed down for generations to come."
Exalted Immortal Sea Path said, "That's right. That's exactly what I was thinking. It's just that I've lived for far too long, and my memory isn't that good. Sigh, I've forgotten so many world-shaking things. What I remember are just trivial matters."
East Deity smiled and said, "This is returning to the natural state."
Everyone burst into laughter.
After the East Deity brought Ye Kong around to toast everyone, he returned to the steps and said loudly, "Today, Lord Ye of the Iron Prison Mountain has graced Planet East Edge with his presence. There are songs and wine, but there must be music. Recently, I've met a person who has superb and intoxicating zither skills. Therefore, I'd like to present this to Buddha today. Please enjoy it. "
As soon as the East Deity finished speaking, a warm pavilion rose from the dragon throne. Thin gauze curtains hung outside the pavilion. Although Celestial Senses could not penetrate the pavilion, one could vaguely see a woman sitting quietly inside with a zither in front of her.
The figure was blurry, and one could not see her face or figure clearly. Ye Kong's heart couldn't help but thump.
When everyone quieted down, the East Deity waved his sleeve and said, "Rise!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of the zither rang out from the pavilion. It lingered and lingered, like the whispers of a lady in a boudoir or the complaints of a resentful woman. It made the listeners' hearts clench. This song lasted for a long time, but those whose emotions followed didn't feel like time had passed. It felt like a moment.
Kuang Peng knew some temperament, and hearing the sound of the zither, it was as though he saw a lady in a boudoir sitting alone by the window. She seemed to have a lot of thoughts to say to someone.
It was only when the zither music came to an end that the people present regained their composure.
After a short moment of reflection, someone spoke. It was Ocean Land Celestial. The old turtle said, "Not bad. This is the best zither music I've ever heard. It's lingering and makes one's emotions feel tangled."
Another young scholar came out and said, "You're right, Immortal. I also think that this zither music is rare in this world. It's so good that even Hong Mengni, who helps people with her zither music, would not be able to match it!"
Actually, this lady played pretty well. However, from Ye Kong's point of view, there was still a gap between her and Hong Mengni. Of course, Ye Kong wouldn't stand out to say anything now.
However, Wu Yong, who was at the side, didn't think so. He couldn't help but let out a sound. Actually, this sound was very soft, but it was heard by East Deity. He waved his hand and smiled. "This Prison Guard Wu from the Iron Prison Mountain seems to have a different opinion."
Wu Yong didn't stand on ceremony. He stood up and said, "The lady in the warm room played really well. However, what that immortal said just now was too exaggerated. If I had to say, Hong Mengni's zither music is better."
That young scholar wanted to suck up to East Deity, but he didn't expect someone to raise an opposing opinion in front of him. Looking at him again, it was a rough and dark boor … The young scholar thought to himself, Do you even understand the zither? You came out to comment with your account, aren't you afraid of embarrassing yourself? "
The young scholar walked out and cupped his fists. "Prison Guard Wu, I'm Xu Zimiao. If it's to capture people or extort confessions by torture, I'd like to learn from you. However, the way of playing the zither … I didn't expect you to know it too. "
Xu Zimiao sneered at him.
Wu Yong heard it. Xu Zimiao? That sounded familiar. He seemed to have heard this name before.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Kuang Peng say in a low voice, "I heard that Xu Xiaolong's wife is pregnant with an immortal called Xu Zimiao."
Xu Xiaolong was a chef who opened a restaurant on the Lianyun Star. He married a wife and was a good friend of Wu Yong. Now that he heard it, he was furious. He glared at Xu Zimiao and said, "Xu Zimiao, let me ask you! Did you go to the Lianyun Star last year? "
Xu Zimiao thought to himself, "How did you know?" He was stunned. "Yes." Xu Zimiao didn't deny it. After all, he didn't think he did anything bad.
However, Wu Yong asked again, "Have you ever impregnated a woman named Ming Yue?"
"This …" Xu Zimiao thought to himself, "Does the Iron Prison Mountain even care about such things?" However, when he turned back to look, he saw that all the immortals present were looking at him with disdain. Xu Zimiao knew that although he didn't do anything wrong, he was going to be ridiculed for a long time.
This scoundrel is so vicious to say such things about me in public. Xu Zimiao said angrily, "Prison Guard Wu, why are you talking so much? What I'm asking you is, on what basis do you say that Hong Mengni's music is better than this lady's?"
Wu Yong said, "Hong Mengni's music is grand and majestic. When it's light, it's like a lingering drizzle. When it's heavy, it's like a landslide. But this lady's music is too feminine and displeasing. Although her music is good, it's inferior and not as enjoyable as Hong Mengni's music! "
Although Wu Yong was a rough person, his words hit the nail on the head. Everyone present was speechless.
Ye Kong's gaze shot towards the warm room. Behind the gauze curtain, the blurry figure of the lady was increasingly familiar to him. At this moment, he heard a faint sigh from behind the gauze curtain. A lady's voice came, "Enjoyable, enjoyable. There's pain and there's pleasure. It's just a momentary pleasure. Only a lifetime of pleasure is happiness … "
When Ye Kong heard this, he almost fainted. He cried out involuntarily, "Ruolan!"
