"Beautiful!" Qiao Xuan racked his brains and could only praise him in his heart.
Then, the Third Prince cupped his hands and said gently,"Zang Biechen greets you here. Today, I will invite you all to the banquet on behalf of my father.”
Then, the attendant beside him immediately waved his hand, and servants continuously served delicious food and wine.
A fragrant aroma immediately filled the hall. Zang Biechen had already turned around and walked to the table beside the throne. He first brushed his vermilion purple dragon robe before slowly sitting down cross-legged.
After a short while, the jade nectar and delicacies were all served.
Then, Qiao Xuan wanted to take a good look at how these delicacies were different from the food in the human world. He picked up the chopsticks and turned them around. He only felt that the color, fragrance, and taste were all good, but he couldn't see anything else. Just as he was about to pick them up and taste them, he heard Ban Jiangchu speak again.
"Try this first. This dish is a combination of the sea and the sky. It has gathered ten top-notch ingredients. Among them, there are Blue Sea Purple Leaf Ginseng, Red Blood Tiger Head Abalone, Fish Dragon Flipping River Wings, Water Fan Sky Clam, Ao Head Turtle Leaf Skirt, Pang Fish Swallowing River Belly, Dragon Blood Silver Beard Shrimp, Blood Dragon Crab Head Yellow, Purple River Yellow Electric Fish, Sea Cloud Slashing Sparrow Tongue, Purple Bamboo Shoot Sky Mushroom, Spring Dew Spicy Sky Pepper, and other seasonings.”
Banjiang Chu paused for a moment, then pointed at the first dish and continued,"" Then, place all of them into the Five-Flame and Seven-Fire Cauldron. Cover the cauldron with green lotus leaves and seal it. After secretly refining it for more than a month, you can open the cauldron to prepare food. It has the fragrance of all ten ingredients, but it also maintains their own delicacies. The fragrance is rich, tender, fresh, smooth, sweet, and mellow. You won't forget to eat it, and it has the effect of increasing your Qi and blood…"
"Cough, cough, cough…" Qiao Xuan interrupted with a low cough.
It turned out that Qiao Xuan had listened to him so well, so he gulped down the dates and began to eat heartily. However, after eating a few mouthfuls, he choked on the delicacies and hurriedly gulped down a mouthful of wine.
At this moment, the moment the wine entered his throat, he felt the fire in his heart burning fiercely, burning his forehead, and he coughed repeatedly from the spiciness.
Before Qiao Xuan could finish coughing, he heard Banjiang Chu say,""Slow down! This wine is called Red Dew. It is red in color and spicy in taste. Once it enters the throat, it will burn like fire. It not only has the ability to stimulate blood and dispel qi, but also has the effect of refreshing and ventilation.”
Qiao Xuan grinned and took two sips before waving his hand and saying,""Since it's so good, why don't you eat it?”
Banjiang Chu picked at his chopsticks and said in a bored tone,""I'm tired of eating. I'll just watch you eat! Even I smell good looking at you.”
"Get lost! You show-off, stop looking for joy here.”Qiao Xuan cursed with a red face.
"Hehe!" Banjiang Chuxie laughed and straightened his body to listen to Zang Biechen's speech.
Qiao Xuan glared at him hatefully again, then steeled his heart and wiped his face. He continued to eat and drink by himself. He felt that the wine and food were unusually delicious. Once it entered his stomach, not only was it warm, but it was also somewhat beneficial to his soul. He then ate it like a whirlwind.
By the time Zang Biechen finished speaking and everyone had drunk three rounds of wine and eaten five dishes, Qiao Xuan had already finished all the food and wine on the table.
Qiao Xuan's hungry ghost eating manner made Banjiang Chu laugh evilly. Qiao Xuan rolled his eyes at him a few more times before looking around again. He saw that everyone was lazily moving their chopsticks.
He secretly despised them in his heart,'You bunch of people are either tired of eating or big cowards. Since you're here, let's take it easy! Since they were already here, they should let go of their worries. They were already so gloomy. Why did they make it seem like they were mourning? They were really gutless!”
Qiao Xuan was still thinking when he heard Zang Biechen say,""I see that everyone doesn't eat much, so I don't think they're hungry. Then I'll start talking about serious matters.”
When everyone heard the Third Prince say this, they all sat up straight, their expressions serious, as if they were facing a great enemy.
"This banquet was originally hosted by my Imperial Father, but…sigh! Let's not talk about this anymore." Zang Biechen seemed somewhat helpless.
Then, when he raised his head and saw that everyone was ready, he said,"Most of you are my good friends, and some of you are guests invited from the outside world. I will skip those hypocritical and polite words. I think most of you have guessed it. That's right, this banquet is to choose a son-in-law for the Eldest Princess.”
Before Zang Biechen finished speaking, everyone in the surroundings hurriedly retreated. As for those human guests, they all had excited expressions. There were indeed many people who were eager to make a move, but they were tightly held back by their companions and whispered,"Let's take a look first."
Seeing everyone's reaction, Zang Biechen was really helpless. He could only say,"" In that case, I'll…"
"Third Prince, kill us! We will be grateful for your kindness.”The people on the periphery suddenly shouted. Not only did they interrupt Zang Biechen's words, but they also gave Qiao Xuan a huge fright.
"Isn't it a good thing to choose a son-in-law?" Qiao Xuan quickly asked Banjiang Chu. Why did these people fight to the death? Could it be that this Eldest Princess was extremely ugly?”
"Shh…Watch your words!" Banjiangchu glanced at the howling crowd and whispered,""This isn't choosing a prince consort. This is choosing a fiancé for the Eldest Princess, also known as choosing a prospective son-in-law. Only by passing those tests can one become a true prince consort.”
Qiao Xuan finally understood and said in a low voice,""I understand, I understand. They're afraid of being selected and participating in the many tests!”
He then looked at the effeminate youth and asked in a low voice,""Aren't you afraid? Look at your brother, he's scared to death.”
Then, Banjiang Chu Zhen looked forward and saw Banjiang Yun and Lu Qingxiang kneeling and begging Zang Biechen for mercy. They both shouted,"Big brother, spare me! Big brother, spare me!"
The two of them begged bitterly for half a day, but Zang Biechen still refused to comment.
Half of Jiang Yun could not help but shout," Big Brother, you promised that as long as I help you find Third Brother, you will help me. Please don't forget your promise."”
When Lu Qingxiang heard this, she was so angry that she no longer begged for mercy. Instead, she began to curse Banjiang Yun loudly.
Zang Biechen saw that his two sworn brothers were getting more and more out of hand, so he shouted,""Shut up! You can't be impudent at the Jade Phoenix Banquet today.”
When the two saw their eldest brother's anger, they helplessly got up and sat back down resentfully.
Seeing that the two of them were fine, Banjiang Chu looked at Qiao Xuan and said with an evil smile,""I'm not afraid. I firmly believe that I won't be chosen.”
Qiao Xuan pointed at Ban Jiangchu and said with a sly smile,""Oh…! I understand that you must have discussed this with the Third Prince in private.”
Seeing Jiang Chu laugh evilly again, Qiao Xuan knew that he had guessed correctly."Bah! Another unspoken rule, secretly manipulating, sigh! Let's see who the unlucky one is."
Qiao Xuan suddenly realized that his surroundings were quiet. He raised his head abruptly, but his eyes were almost blinded by the light. He quickly narrowed his eyes and looked forward.
A red light shone beside the throne, causing Qiao Xuan's eyes to hurt. Although Qiao Xuan had cultivated a martial soul, he was still a mortal, so he could not see clearly.
In the eyes of the bystanders, Zang Bie Chen was not only surrounded by the Crimson Flame Abyss Dragon, but he was also shooting out scarlet lightning, scaring everyone in the hall into not daring to spout nonsense.
Zang Biechen then slowly said," You can speak after I'm done. Before I'm done, anyone who dares to disturb me will be burned by the netherworld fire."”
Everyone immediately fell silent out of fear, while Zang Biechen couldn't help but curse,""Sigh, how embarrassing! Father hid himself, but he wants me to preside over it. It's making me feel bad.”
Zang Biechen was silent for half a day before he broke the heavy atmosphere and said in a deep voice,""I've always thought of myself as benevolent and righteous, and this time is no exception. I only want nine people. You can choose nine people to be the prospective sons-in-law, and this banquet can end immediately.”Then, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.
When everyone heard these words, they all felt that the clouds were bright and the moon was bright. They all flattered,"The Third Prince is benevolent and benevolent!”
Then, they started to argue. One said,"Why don't you do it, Big Brother Ban?" Another said,"Brother Qing Xiang, you should do it."
Everyone was either blocking or refusing. They quarreled for most of the day. If not for the guards watching, they would have fought in full swing.
"Any results?" Zang Biechen opened his starry eyes and slowly asked.
No one could do anything to each other. There was no result at all. When they heard the Third Prince's question, they all shut their mouths and did not dare to answer.
Zang Biechen could only shake his head helplessly. Just as he was about to make a decision, Banjiang Yun stood up and cupped his hands."Big brother, everyone, please listen to me!”
Banjiang Yun saw that he had attracted everyone's attention and said,""Since ancient times, my Sky Burial Underworld has always believed in etiquette. Today, with so many distinguished guests from the human world here, I would like to invite you to apply for these nine prospective sons-in-law. You will contribute to the integration of the Underworld and the human world.”
When the people outside heard this, they all clapped and cheered, urging Xu Wen and the others to apply. Zang Biechen also looked at Xu Wen and the others.
When Xu Wen and the others saw this, they looked at each other and whispered,""No matter how you look at it, this isn't a good thing, especially when the secret is unknown. We can't just apply rashly. This Ban Jiangyun is really bad. He sold out his brothers and now he's selling us out.”
Qiao Xuan also whispered to Banjiang Chu,"Your brother is too bad. Can't you control him?"?”
Banjiang Chu shook his head and replied,"He's older than me, so I can't control him."”
When Qiao Xuan heard this, he pursed his lips and shook his head with a smile. Then, he saw Xu Wen shout,""Are there any divine techniques and treasures as dowry?"
When Zang Bie Chen saw that someone had finally jumped out, and it was a distinguished guest, he quickly agreed happily,""Yes, yes, yes! Sir, please come up, please come up!”
Xu Wen spread his hands forward and said,"Give me the treasure, and I'll join the army."”
Zang Biechen said with some difficulty,"Sir, is it possible for ordinary treasures? This divine technique treasure can only be bestowed upon you after you pass the test and become the Prince Consort.”
"What test?" Xu Wen asked with a smile. Third Prince, please tell me!"
Zang Biechen immediately stammered, as if he found it difficult to speak.
"The test is very simple. It depends on how much Heaven Essence True Yang you can absorb.”Someone shouted from behind.
Xu Wen laughed out loud, turned his head to look behind him, and said arrogantly,""Are you making fun of me? I am also considered an outstanding person in a large sect and have long practiced the Yang Gang Divine Technique. If it was such a simple test, I would be able to absorb and refine as much Heaven Essence True Yang as you have. How could you compare to me?”
"What if there's Underworld Yimu Green Zombie Poison in this Heaven Essence True Yang?”Zang Biechen directly stated that he hated Xu Wen's arrogance.
"Ah…How could this legendary poison mix into the Heaven Essence True Yang? This is too terrifying!" Xu Wen and the others discussed.
Then Xu Wen smiled and said,"What did I say just now? I didn't say anything. You all heard wrong."”Then, she hurriedly sat back down.
When everyone saw him acting so shamelessly, they immediately understood that this was another thick-skinned and black-hearted person.
Qiao Xuan saw that Xu Wen, who was a treasure lover, sat back down in fear and hurriedly asked,""What exactly is this Dark Sky Yimu Green Zombie Poison? Is it really that scary?"
Banjiang Chu patted Qiao Xuan's shoulder and said with a smile,""It's alright, you'll know in the future. Now, let's see what the Third Prince will do.”
Qiao Xuan was baffled by what he heard."If you don't tell me now, how will I know in the future? Where can I find you in the future?”Then, he continued to look at the crowd.
