Qing Shaohuang laughed loudly. “Everyone wants one! This is a jincan that is a wonderful representation of my Divine Venom Dynasty! Since this is the case, then everyone will get one.”
He then gave Attendant Yi an order, and the chief attendant retreated with a smile.
“Thank you, Your Majesty. By the way, Your Majesty, could you also allow me to have one of those jincans that can cause a hundred flowers to bloom?” Wen Qian’er asked hopefully.
Qing Shaohuang smiled. “Of course. If you have an interest in any of the jincans that have been presented, just say the word.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Wen Qian’er was thrilled.
Qing Shaohuang looked over towards Lu Yin. “Was there anything that caught Alliance Leader Lu’s interest? Just say the word.”
Everyone turned to look at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin smiled. “My cultivation is already too complicated, and the path of jincans is broad and profound, so they don’t suit me.”
Mr. You spoke up, “What? Alliance Leader Lu didn’t see anything you liked?”
Lu Yin’s face went completely blank as he turned to look at Mr. You. “One more word comes out of your mouth and I’ll crush it.”
Mr. You instantly slapped his table and shot to his feet, furious, only to be pushed back down by the Mt. Microcosms Protector who was escorting him. “Mr. Overseer, calm down.”
Qing Shaohuang frowned and looked over at Mr. You. An invisible force had pressed down on the overseer, leaving Mr. You unable to speak or move in the slightest. The overseer was not even able to tell where the pressure came from, and simply assumed that Lu Yin had attacked.
Qing Shaohuang had no desire to help Lu Yin, but also did not want any issues during the banquet. Lu Yin’s personality was readily apparent, and he would follow through on any threats he spoke. Lu Yin would absolutely shatter Mr. You’s mouth in front of everyone.
Mr. You was being suppressed by Qing Shaohuang.
The Mt. Microcosms Protector did not dare even look at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin just sneered and glanced towards Qing Shaohuang. “After what he just said, it will look like I’m looking down on the Divine Venom Dynasty if I don’t ask for something. In that case, I would like that wireless jincan.”
Qing Shaohuang smiled. “Alliance Leader Lu is being too serious. Everyone has a different path of cultivation. You can just play with a jincan, and there’s no need to treat it seriously.”
Lu Yin smiled back. “The other jincans aren’t very convenient to carry around, and I don’t want just any jincan. You have my thanks, your majesty, for your kindness.”
“Since Alliance Leader Lu has already decided, then it’s fine. This is no problem,” Qing Shaohuang replied.
“By the way, Your Majesty, please allow me to have that boy to teach me how to use the wireless jincan,” Lu Yin requested.
Qing Shaohuang was caught off guard, as clearly Lu Yin was genuinely interested in the wireless jincan.
On the other side, Taishi Yuan smiled and spoke up, “Since Alliance Leader Lu is interested in the wireless jincan, then why not go visit the town that created it? Miaomiao will be visiting that place soon, so she can just escort you, Alliance Leader Lu.”
Qing Shaohuang glanced at Yuan Taishi; it was clear that this old fox was doing his best to pawn off his granddaughter.
Yuan Miaomiao’s face blushed as soon as she heard her grandfather’s words.
Qing Longlong stared at Lu Yin, threatening him.
Lu Yin was thrilled. “In that case, I’d be happy to accept! After the banquet, I’ll make the trip to that town with Miss Miaomiao. Thank you, Yuan Taishi.”
“Only happy to help, haha!” Yuan Taishi was also very happy.
Prince Qing Li merely watched everything with a cold eye. No one was more clear on the situation within the Divine Venom Dynasty than him. Qing Shaohuang was afraid of Lu Yin and wanted to help the Sword Sect and the other Innerverse powers deal with him. As for Yuan Taishi, he wanted to win Lu Yin over and permanently force him out of Venom Flowzone. This whole production was a great show.
The most pitiful people at this moment were Venom King City’s talented youths who were present at the banquet, as all of them were staring at Yuan Miaomiao. Every year, enough people to form a line that extended out of the city would stop by Yuan Taishi’s estate to propose to his granddaughter, but none had ever succeeded. However, Yuan Miaomiao was actually being given to an outsider.
Yuan Miaomiao was the empire’s top beauty, yet she was being given to someone from outside of Venom Flowzone. Her peers were gritting their teeth, as there was nothing at all they could do about it.
It was not long before one of the Escaping Orbs was delivered to Lu Yin’s table. Looking at it, Lu Yin glanced over at Qing Li. The prince’s expression seemed a bit unnatural.
Lu Yin thought of Transience, and the possibility that this Escaping Orb had been laced with Transience. It seemed possible that these Escaping Orbs were part of Qing Shaohuang’s plan to deal with Lu Yin.
Transience was highly toxic, colorless, odorless, and did not even have any runes. It was completely impossible to detect, which made it the safest method of dealing with Lu Yin.
Qing Shaohuang kept his eyes on Lu Yin, and showed a satisfied smile when he saw Lu Yin put away the Escaping Orb. “Come, everyone, enjoy your time as guests of the Divine Venom Dynasty.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”
…
The wireless jincan was delivered to Lu Yin, as well as the young man Xiao Fa.
The young man was terrified and did not even dare to look at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin just spoke a few casual words before dismissing the young man without paying him too much attention.
The next portion of the banquet was the gift-giving session. One by one, all of the guests presented gifts on behalf of their own force. Lu Yin provided a bottle of medicinal pills. He had not Enhanced them, and they were perfectly common, but it was still better than the slap that he had sent Qing Shaohuang via Attendant Yi as a gift to begin with.
Seeing Lu Yin’s gift, Attendant Yi’s eyes flashed coldly. He would never be able to forget that slap.
Soon, it was Balsam’s turn, and she gestured for Yan to present their gift.
“Your Majesty, Shamrock Enterprise’s congratulatory gift is another medicinal pill, but this is not one that is ingested, but one that can allow a person to avoid certain crises,” Balsam explained with a smile.
Qing Shaohuang became curious. “Avoid certain crises?”
Balsam took another pill out of her cosmic ring and threw it forward. The void was torn open, and another space became visible, It was the true universe.
Qing Li and Yuan Taishi were both startled, and they both exclaimed, “The true universe?”
Qing Shaohuang was truly shocked; a pill could provide access to the true universe? This was unbelievable! This was something that only experts with power levels exceeding 500,000 could achieve.
Lu Yin stared intently; Shamrock Enterprise was no longer keeping their stellular energy pills hidden. Just what were they planning?
Everyone was stupefied by the effect of the stellular energy pill. Not even Qing Shaohuang was an exception, even if his own jincan allowed him a power level of more than 800,000. He was one of the top powerhouses in the entire Innervese, and yet even he was startled by the power of the stellular energy pill.
