AWB Chapter 61 Rumors
Chapter 61 Rumors
Back at Guanwu Pavilion, the two sisters opened the invitation given to them by Feng Xuan and saw that the list of treasures read: Ten Thousand Year Twin Fruit!
There is also a note: The Ten Thousand Year Spirit Yang Fruit and the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Yin Fruit grow from the same tree as twins, bearing a pair of fruits every ten thousand years.
Shen Yao was overjoyed and immediately went with Xianyu into the Source Stone Space to report the good news to the sect leader.
However, the Purple Cloud Golden Beetle remained rooted to the ground, gazing at the sky, and ignored her.
After playing with Xiaoshibao for a while, Shen Yao and Xianyu went back to their room to sleep.
...
The matchmaker and guests delivered the wedding attire early in the morning. The matchmaker also said that the two sets of wedding attire were specially purchased by Steward Feng Jia from the brocade workshop and were given to the two immortal couples, Lan Ying and Wan Li.
The cultivators surrounded Lan Ying and Wan Li as they tried on their wedding attire. Lan Ying and Wan Li were both shy and happy, and their faces turned red as they changed. The red clothes and red faces made the cultivators laugh so hard they bent over.
The streets of Qiwu City were bustling with activity. Feng's Restaurant had arranged for many burly men to beat drums and gongs as they announced the good news: "Great joy! Great joy! Congratulations on the marriage of Lan Ying and Wan Li! Fairy Shen is hosting a three-day banquet at Feng's Restaurant to celebrate with the entire city!!!"
Good news spread throughout the streets and alleys, and for a time, everyone celebrated, and the whole city was in an uproar.
Even the city lord's mansion received the good news.
Lord Deng Chengming of Qiwu City lived a secluded life, rarely leaving his mansion except when important matters occurred within the city.
The congratulatory message from Feng's Restaurant was particularly considerate; it only floated outside the city lord's mansion and didn't fly inside the courtyard.
The envoy from Humen received the good news and sent a guard to deliver it inside.
After reading the congratulatory notice, Deng Chengming said, "I understand. You can take turns going if you want." Then he waved his hand to dismiss the guards.
The cultivators within the city were all asking each other, "Who is this Fairy Shen? She's hosting a three-day feast; how extravagant!"
Who are Lan Ying and Wan Li to Shen Xianzi?
"Hey, have you heard? That Fairy Shen is a visiting cultivator from out of town, staying at the East City Inn."
'I stay at the East City Inn, how come I didn't know?'
"Hey, a really extravagant female immortal did arrive at the East City Inn yesterday, booking rooms with panoramic views for herself and her entourage."
'Really? Really? Is that Fairy Shen? What kind of spiritual root does she have, and how old is she?'
'Looks very young, with a seventh-grade, four-elemental-root.'
'Hmm… a seventh-grade, four-elemental root? That can't be Fairy Shen. Holding a three-day banquet at the Feng Clan's restaurant, is that something a seventh-grade, four-elemental root could do…?'
'Fairy Shen actually hosted a city-wide banquet for two celestial couples she didn't even know...'
'I've heard that this Fairy Shen is so extravagant because she's deliberately doing this to become a couple with the Feng family…'
……
Within a single day, rumors flew wildly throughout Qiwu City, all revolving around the mysterious Fairy Shen, and the equally enigmatic Lan Ying and Wan Li…
Feng Jia also took some time to visit Feng Xuan.
Feng Jia came to express her gratitude, thanking Feng Xuanxianfan for recommending such a large business opportunity to her.
Upon hearing this, Feng Xuan gasped, "She only said she was going to hold a wedding banquet for her entourage, not a three-day feast."
Feng Jia laughed and said, "Yes, the last time we hosted a banquet for the whole city was more than three hundred years ago when Immortal Saint Feng Wu was overjoyed."
Feng Xuan: "How much deposit did you give?"
Feng Jia smiled even more happily: "Thanks to your introduction, Fairy Shen paid the full amount directly."
Feng Xuan: "How much is the full amount?"
Feng Jia gestured exaggeratedly: "Twelve million one hundred and fifty thousand Perfect Coins! When the fairy ran out of Perfect Coins, she waved her hand, and my VIP room was filled with Perfect Stones. So many Perfect Stones, and Fairy Shen just casually took them out... Oh ho ho ho ho..."
"Moreover, Fairy Shen is hosting a banquet for the entire city. All you need to do is say a word of congratulations to be seated, regardless of your status or rank. This is the first time I've ever seen anything like it."
'When Fairy Shen left, she even gave me a "Ten-Ingredient Knife," saying it was a tip... Oh ho ho ho ho... Fairy Shen is so generous! Oh ho ho...'
Feng Xuanxian's body went numb.
With 12.15 million Ten-Coins, even excluding the days when there were many outsiders at the Feng Family Treasure Appraisal Event, his Feng Family Bathhouse would only earn 10 million in ten years based on its usual revenue and expenses.
Shen Xianzi threw out twelve million for a wedding banquet for her entourage.
As a direct descendant of the Feng family, Feng Xuan had grown up in luxury since childhood. This was the first time he had ever felt that the gap between the rich and poor in the world was so vast...
Feng Jia laughed and went back, while Feng Xuan, listening to the music, found it all rather boring.
……
The first day of the marriage ceremony exhausted Lan Ying and Wan Li. Many guests came, each one smiling and congratulating them. The couple responded with smiles, but after just one morning and half a day, their faces were stiff from smiling.
As soon as the ceremony ended, the couple agreed to run away and refused to go anywhere else for the rest of the day.
Shen Yao never expected that getting married would exhaust them so much that they would both run away.
Shen Yao had never been married in her previous life and rarely attended weddings. Every time she attended a wedding, she would give a small gift, eat something quickly, and leave because she had to rush to her part-time job to earn money.
But she always envied the bride and groom at the ceremony, envying them for having the blessings and companionship of their family and friends.
Therefore, she always felt that something as important as getting married should be celebrated with a grand banquet, receiving all blessings and leaving behind a deep and unforgettable memory.
I never imagined the guests would exhaust the bride and groom...
Since none of the main characters were going to the wedding banquet, Shen Yao also decided not to go, as did Xianyu, Baisong, and Zhao Bin.
The revenge team spent their days cultivating in the guesthouse, waiting for the Feng family's treasure appraisal event.
Whether the small group goes or not will not affect the continuous banquet at Fengshi Restaurant.
Feng Jia had arranged everything perfectly. Since Shen Xianzi hadn't mentioned canceling the banquet, the wedding banquet would proceed as planned.
……
Qiwu City was bustling with activity for the past three days, and even those who usually didn't go out came out.
West Street was even more congested, with all the Yunxing (a type of mobile phone service) drivers in the city running around like crazy, their eight legs barely touching the ground.
Jiang Ming and his entourage entered through the East Gate, but after waiting for a long time, they neither rode the Cloud Flight nor saw the attendant sent by the City Lord of Qiwu City to guide them.
Jiang Ming felt neglected for the first time, and a fire was burning in his heart. He could only walk to the West City Lord's Mansion.
Upon reaching the central intersection, it was already difficult to move an inch, especially on the west side, which was completely congested, with the cultivators almost shoulder to shoulder, looking back at each other.
At this moment, the attendants from the city lord's mansion finally squeezed out from the north street.
The attendant had seen Jiang Ming before and immediately spotted him at the entrance of East Street, where he was squeezed among the crowd of cultivators, dressed in a dark cloud robe with a cold expression.
The servant squeezed his way to Jiang Ming's side, shouting, "Master Jiang, Master Jiang, I'm late, please forgive me!"
Upon seeing that it was a servant from the City Lord's Mansion and that he was calling out "Hall Master Jiang," the cultivators knew that this "Hall Master Jiang" was a distinguished guest of the City Lord's Mansion. They all tried their best to make way for him.
Jiang Ming's face darkened further when he saw his servant in such a disheveled state.
Wang Xu scolded, "Why are you so late? Does your city lord no longer respect Hall Master Jiang?"
The servant was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud and begged for mercy: "The city lord had no such intention! As soon as the city lord received the message, he sent me to guide you."
"It's just that for the past three days, a fairy has been hosting a continuous banquet at the Feng Clan Restaurant, inviting the entire city. Today is the last day, and there are simply too many cultivators coming and going, making it difficult for me to proceed. That's why I'm late! Please investigate, Hall Master Jiang!"
Because the cultivators of the City Lord's Mansion rarely leave the mansion, and when the City Lord does occasionally leave, he is very low-key and humble, the citizens of Qiwu City have a good impression of the City Lord's Mansion.
The cultivators coming and going to the banquet all spoke up for the attendant, saying, "Yes, it is indeed Fairy Shen. She is holding a wedding banquet for a newlywed couple at the Feng Clan Restaurant, inviting the whole city."
The group of cultivators chimed in with their own words, and their tone gradually became increasingly absurd.
'I heard that Fairy Shen's entire dress was made from silk pressed from ten-perfect stones…'
"Hey, I also heard that Fairy Shen is incredibly generous, showering every cultivator she meets with coins—she's even more lavish than everyone imagines!"
"You've only heard about it, but I've seen it with my own eyes! The magical treasures on Fairy Shen's body are all top-grade; there's barely enough room left to hang them all..."
Hearing the pleas and gossip around him, Jiang Ming felt extremely embarrassed. He glared at Wang Xu, who immediately understood and said to the servant, "Alright, alright, get up. Quickly take us to the city lord's mansion."
The servant, still shaken, stood up and carefully helped Jiang Ming move forward.
