After the people from Star Plucking Yard had finished preparing everything, Tuoba Xianjun stood in the middle of the hall, bowed slightly to the people from Heaven Realm, and said with a smile,""Thank you, everyone from the Heaven Realm, for coming today. On the table are the delicacies we have collected from all over the human world. I hope everyone will like them.”
The people from the Heaven Realm curiously sized up the Qilin who had been in seclusion for a long time and politely replied,"You're the one who's worked hard."
Just as everyone was tacitly agreeing, the Celestial Emperor Statue in the hall suddenly emitted a dazzling light, causing everyone to be unable to open their eyes for a moment. After the light disappeared, everyone looked up and saw that the tall Celestial Emperor statue that was originally sitting in the hall had disappeared. In its place was Celestial Emperor Yuan Ze himself and Queen of Heaven Shen Wei.
Other than Ming Si and Qi Xuan, everyone immediately stood up and bowed to greet them."Heavenly Emperor, Heavenly Queen."
"There's no need to be so polite. Everyone, sit down.”Yuan Ze said to everyone in the hall with a smile as usual.
After everyone sat down, Yuan Ze turned his gaze to Tuoba Xianjun, who was standing awkwardly in the hall. He smiled and said,"Tuoba Xianjun, thank you for your hard work.”
"It is my honor to serve the Celestial Thearch.”Tuoba Xianjun said nervously as he faced the pressure that the Celestial Thearch had yet to retract.
Seeing that Tuoba Xianjun was still able to stand up and reply to him despite the 50% pressure he had released, Yuan Ze threw a space ring to Tuoba Xianjun with satisfaction and said,""This is my return gift."
It was only a newly matured Qilin. It was already not bad for it to perform so well under his pressure.
Tuoba Xianjun quickly reached out to take the ring and quietly examined it. He also used his spiritual sense to sense the interior of the ring. As expected, he saw that there were many good things in the ring. This made Tuoba Xianjun happy.
"Sit down at the side." Yuan Ze saw that Tuoba Xianjun was very satisfied with the gift and pointed to an empty seat at the side.
"Yes." After Tuoba Xianjun replied, he sat down on an empty seat not far from the Celestial Thearch's right under everyone's envious and jealous gazes.
Yuan Ze returned his gaze to the hall. Seeing that the people from the Heaven Realm had almost arrived, he raised his wine cup to signal to everyone and said in a deep voice,"Today, I am very happy to be able to drink this cup with you. I hope that we will have such an opportunity next year.”
Everyone raised their cups. Although they were puzzled as to why the Celestial Thearch was speaking so strangely tonight, they still said in unison,"May the Heavenly Emperor have a long life."
After that, everyone drank the wine in their cups in one go.
Then, everyone impatiently picked up the delicious dishes on the table and put them into their mouths.
"Delicious."
"Mmm, it tastes good."
"What is this? It tastes so good!"
In an instant, the hall was filled with sighs. Tuoba Xianjun, who had been preparing for this, was very happy when he heard this. He slowly smiled.
As expected, his hard work was not in vain!
While everyone was enjoying the delicious dishes, a sudden voice sounded in the hall,""Why don't I see the person who performed today?”
Hearing this, everyone felt that it was very strange. Why didn't I see anyone dancing to the Heavenly Emperor this year? Did the Heaven Realm not have any arrangements this year? That was impossible. Every year before the Heavenly Emperor's birthday, he would assign a woman from the Heaven Realm to perform a blessing dance in front of the Heavenly Emperor. It was impossible that he had forgotten to arrange it!
After all, this tradition had been carried out for thousands of years. This was also the routine of the Heavenly Emperor Banquet! Although it would jump every year, the one that the princess of the Underworld had prayed for a thousand years ago was still the most memorable. Every year after that, no matter how hard the dancers practiced, they could not surpass Ming Cheya's dance.
After all, Ming Cheya was wearing a unique dance outfit that the Third Prince had spent decades to make! Besides, Ming Cheya's dance was perfect and no one could compare to it!
"Do you think the princess of the Netherworld will be dancing this time?”A Heaven Realm resident who still remembered the dance asked the person beside him in a low voice.
However, everyone present had powerful spiritual power. Even if they were whispering, everyone would hear them. Instantly, everyone wanted to see Ming Cheya dance.
At the same time, everyone became more and more curious about who the girl who had yet to perform was.
At the same time, Ming Cheya, who was still sitting in the Imperial Residence of King Jing, was talking to Chen Yuan calmly. She would occasionally look at the setting sun in the sky.
"Princess, why hasn't the palanquin from the Heaven Realm arrived yet?”Unlike Ming Cheya's calmness, Manzhu was already pacing around outside nervously, occasionally looking at the horizon.
This sedan chair was also an established custom of the Heavenly Emperor Banquet. Every year, the female dancers had to take the sedan chair sent by the Heavenly Emperor to the gathering place and could not go alone.
"Don't panic, Manzhu." Sha Hua consoled her from the side, but she was also extremely nervous. After all, this was the princess 'first dance, so she could not make any mistakes.
Just as the two of them were panicking, Shen Yuan turned around and asked,""What palanquin?"
Ming Cheya told him about the customs, which made Shen Yuan look interested. After all, this was a strange custom that made people confused. Moreover, according to Little Butterfly, they didn't know why such a thing existed.
As expected, more and more things puzzled him. Chen Yuan looked into the distance and pondered.
Just as the few of them were in different states, a snow-white palanquin with bells hanging from its four corners suddenly appeared in the courtyard. The wind blew gently, and the bell gave off a crisp ring, which was very pleasant to hear. The light gauze around the palanquin also fluttered in the wind, drawing beautiful strokes in the air.
A celestial soldier in silver armor standing beside the palanquin stepped forward and said solemnly to Ming Cheya,""Princess, please get on the palanquin."
Hearing this, Ming Cheya pulled Chen Yuan's hand and walked into the palanquin with a natural expression. Man Zhu, Sha Hua, and the Heavenly soldiers wanted to stop him, but they were stopped by Chen Yuan's murderous gaze. They could only swallow their words back down.
Seeing that Ming Cheya and the mortal had sat down, the Heavenly soldiers exchanged glances and lifted the four corners of the palanquin at the same time. They steadily and quickly headed towards the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
Manzhu and Sha Hua also followed behind him silently, their faces unhappy.
They had just been threatened by that demon again. But at the same time, Manzhu and Sha Hua thought,'Is it okay for that demon to go to a banquet full of Sky people?' If he was recognized, would he be immediately erased?
At the thought of this, Manzhu and Sha Hua's eyes met again. However, this time, they were not filled with dissatisfaction, but with schadenfreude. If they told that demon not to let them get close to the princess, they would be recognized and bullied by the Heaven Realm people.
However, Manzhu and Sha Hua, who were so happy at this time, never expected that when they arrived at the Heavenly Emperor Palace, there would be another situation that they could not understand at all.
The people in the Heavenly Emperor Palace were anxiously waiting for the person who was offering the dance to appear. When they heard the report that the dancing blade had arrived, they all opened their necks and looked out.
After a while, Ming Cheya, who was dressed in red, walked out of the palanquin.
Before the crowd could finish celebrating, they saw her pulling a mortal down from the palanquin and walking into the hall with the mortal with a calm expression.
Instantly, the hall fell silent. Everyone looked at Ming Cheya and Chen Yuan in disbelief. He didn't understand what was going on.
Could it be that the princess of the Netherworld had found a new lover? Just like his father? But thinking about it, it didn't seem right!
Ming Cheya calmly pulled Chen Yuan into the Heavenly Emperor Palace. She looked around and pulled Chen Yuan to an empty seat beside Nether King Ming Si.
"Father, little father." Ming Cheya only raised her head to greet the two people beside her after she sat down in the Abyss.
Ming Si looked at Chen Yuan, who was being pulled by Ming Cheya, with murderous eyes. When he heard his obedient daughter call him, he quickly retracted the murderous look on his face and smiled at Ming Cheya happily."Good daughter."
As expected, she was getting more and more annoyed with the man beside her daughter! Why did she agree to let her daughter go to his side back then? All of a sudden, he regretted his decision when he thought about his daughter leaving to stay by another man's side forever. He should have called his daughter back to stay by his side after the Heavenly Emperor banquet.
Qi Xuan also looked at Ming Cheya, who he hadn't seen in a long time, with a happy expression. From the corner of his eye, he noticed Ming Si gnashing his teeth as he looked at Chen Yuan and felt helpless.
Sometimes, this person really had a childish temper!
"Hurry up and go." Knowing that Ming Cheya was going to perform the blessing dance today, Qi Xuan looked at her and said with a gentle smile.
"Yes." Ming Cheya nodded in agreement. She turned to Chen Yuan and said," I'll come back to accompany you after my dance." Then, she strode into the palace.
Ming Cheya's eyes grew gentler as she looked at Heavenly Emperor Yuan Ze, who was sitting on guard. She congratulated him with a hint of warmth on her warm face,""May uncle Heavenly Emperor have this day every year.”
"Alright." Yuan Ze looked at Ming Cheya with a loving gaze and said happily.
After the Celestial Thearch finished speaking, everyone in the hall looked at Ming Cheya expectantly, hoping to see the praying dance again.
The Celestial Thearch Palace fell silent as the Celestial Thearch raised his hand. After a while, the crisp and melodious sound of a stringed instrument rang out.
Meanwhile, Ming Cheya had already gotten into position and was dancing to the music. Lifting, turning, pulling, and leaping, Ming Cheya followed the movements in the depths of her memory.
Everyone looked at the enchanting red figure in the hall with infatuation. With her every move, they were completely brought into the world of her dance.
