Chapter 393 Party
The poor bird kings who came to pay homage all became lunch.
Three were grilled, three were steamed, three were stewed in soup, and one was stir-fried.
Feng Yu and Jiang Ming went back to Chongcheng and brought Shi Bao, Xian Yu, Hai Mu, A Meng, A Luo, Gou Yue and Ning Yuan over for a feast.
Shen Yao, thinking of the loyal Wang Xu, asked Jiang Ming to bring Wang Xu over as well.
Tu Xiaoxiao also went back to Longyuan City and brought her parents and Tu Ruanruan over.
All the cultivators who saw the newly awakened baby were extremely envious.
The Immortal Emperor's baby is a born Emperor cultivator.
Shen Yao is so good at giving birth.
In particular, Shi Bao was born to be an Immortal Emperor.
Gao Xiu had two children in just a few decades, and both of them became Immortal Emperors.
This physique is unique in the world, from ancient times to the present.
Apart from Xianyu, Fengyu, and Huodie, the other cultivators who didn't know the origin of Shi Bao all believed in their hearts that as long as it was Shen Yao's child, it would definitely be an Emperor-level cultivator.
It is said that when Feng Qing inherited the bloodline of the divine phoenix and awakened her spiritual root, all the birds paid homage.
Jiang Ming was extremely annoyed and blamed them for not notifying him to come over in time.
He's now on good terms with Feng Yu, and they're toasting each other while he asks Feng Yu to draw the scene of hundreds of birds paying homage.
The cultivators all cheered, hoping that Feng Yu would draw the picture and ideally create an illusion to recreate it, as everyone wanted to see it.
Feng Yu readily agreed.
Even if no one tells him, he will still create the illusion of hundreds of birds paying homage so that his daughter can see it when she grows up.
When Chu Yun saw Xianyu again, his dead heart was rekindled.
He thought he could face it calmly, but seeing Xianyu and Haimu playing music together in harmony, respecting and loving each other, he still felt extremely bitter.
He longed to sit beside her, sharing drinks and laughter.
I'm a salted fish, I don't need a celestial being. We can be friends, but not partners.
Chu Yunchou, actually, isn't that possessive.
Not every immortal lord is like Feng Yu and Jiang Ming.
He sat obediently next to Huo Die, picking up food for Huo Die and drinking for Huo Die, trying to minimize his presence.
He appeared quiet, but his mind was racing with thoughts that never ceased.
If he were to tell Xianyu that he would never maliciously compete for her affections and cause chaos in her home, could he change her mind and make him her second partner?
Chu Yun restrained himself well, but he couldn't hide his delight.
He glanced at Xianyu from time to time, and Haimu noticed the admiration and sorrow in his eyes.
The main thing is that Xianyu didn't shy away from it at all. When she noticed that Chu Yun was looking at her, she also stared at Chu Yun openly, making Chu Yun blush. It was hard for Hai Mu not to notice.
My wife is too beautiful and has a good personality, which makes her easy to be coveted.
There are quite a few demonic cultivators from the Mingshan Sect who covet Xianyu, as well as demonic cultivators from the Xiaoyao Sect in Ruifeng City, who come to Jinli Residence to visit every now and then.
That demon cultivator was named Mu Ze. He always used the excuse of caring for Lord Liu's sister to send gifts to Xianyu.
But like her sister, Xianyu is purely attracted to good looks; if someone isn't pretty enough, they won't catch her eye.
Xianyu has high standards, mainly because her friends and family are all incredibly beautiful, raising her aesthetic standards too high.
So much so that in her opinion, the least attractive girl has to be at least a six out of ten like Tu Xiaoxiao.
However, Tu Xiaoxiao was already the most handsome young master in the fox clan.
Hai Mu quietly sized up Chu Yun, the immortal lord who had been caught peeping and was now utterly ashamed, whose appearance was far inferior to his own.
But it probably falls short of the passing grade for the average person's aesthetic sense.
Otherwise, Xianyu wouldn't have stared at it so openly for so long.
Hai Mu picked some food for the salted fish and asked in a low voice, "Are you and Immortal Chu very familiar, my lady?"
Salty Fish replied, "We have some acquaintance, but we're not very close."
Hai Mu whispered in Xian Yu's ear, "Wife, don't look at him anymore. He's getting embarrassed by your gaze."
Upon hearing this, Xianyu looked away and focused on eating.
With the feeling of being stared at gone, Chu Yun felt relieved, both relaxed and disappointed.
Having been decisively rejected once, he couldn't muster the courage to pursue her a second time.
In this respect, he is far inferior to Jiang Ming and Tu Xiaoxiao. How can you win a wife's heart without being thick-skinned?
Tu Ruanruan was very curious about Jiang Ming, mainly because his temperament was different from that of the other cultivators at the table.
He was gloomy and looked like a heretical cultivator.
Tu Ruanruan found it hard to believe that Shen Yao would like this type of male cultivator, especially a Celestial Lord.
The contrast is too great.
This overturned Tu Ruanruan's understanding of immortals.
The immortals in storybooks and picture books are all gentle, refined, and upright, but none of them mention that there are such people.
Sensing the spying from the other side, Jiang Ming raised his eyes and glared fiercely at Tu Ruanruan.
The ruthlessness in his eyes seemed to be about to peel off Tu Ruanruan's fox skin.
Tu Ruanruan was startled and jumped in fright. She quickly finished her meal, said she was going to see her niece, and left the table first.
She returned to the side hall, and just as she picked Feng Qing up from the cradle, Jiang Ming came in.
"Put it down." Jiang Ming's tone was fierce, and Tu Ruanruan felt a chill run down her spine.
She gently placed Feng Yu back into the cradle, then stood awkwardly beside it, feeling unsure whether to sit or stand.
Jiang Ming waved for Lian Yi and Xu Qin to step back, then stepped forward to interrogate the fox woman: "Why are you holding my daughter?"
Tu Ruanruan forced a smile: "I just wanted to hug my niece."
Jiang Ming scoffed. Niece? Ha, Qing'er is an immortal, and Tu Xiaoxiao is one thing, but what does his immortal daughter have to do with a fox woman?
He picked up the baby girl, who was sucking on her hand with wide eyes, and stared at Tu Ruanruan with an extremely distrustful expression: "Why were you looking at me during the meal?"
Why are you looking at me? I see you're different from everyone else, and I'm curious why Shen Yao likes you.
Tu Ruanruan suspected that Shen Yao was coerced into taking such a male cultivator as her husband.
She feigned composure and said with a faint smile, "I judged by your temperament, which is different from both my brother and Feng Yu, that Shen Yao must really like you."
Jiang Ming's expression changed as easily as turning the pages of a book.
His expression softened instantly, and he couldn't suppress a smile: "You have good taste."
Tu Ruanruan found it difficult to give a proper evaluation.
She now has serious doubts about Shen Yao's judgment.
She wanted to hug her niece, but Jiang Ming deliberately avoided her outstretched hand and simply carried the child away.
No manners at all.
Even a good-natured fox spirit like Tu Ruanruan couldn't help but badmouth him behind his back: "Heh, really, what kind of person is he?"
"How could my second sister-in-law like such a male immortal?"
After the meal, Chu Yun politely took his leave without saying much to Xianyu.
But the look in his eyes as he left for the salted fish was filled with resentment and reluctance.
Xianyu was truly unabashed, staring intently as she saw Chu Yun off; she was indeed attracted to his looks.
Even from behind, he looks so handsome and dashing.
What a pity, he was a celestial being.
Otherwise, she would definitely have included him in the list of seven husbands.
Tu Ruanruan made an excuse that she had something to do in the afternoon and needed to go home early.
Tu Shiyan wanted to stay a little longer and talk to Shen Yao.
She hasn't spoken to her daughter-in-law alone yet, and there are many things she wants to say to her.
Shen Yao then asked Tu Xiaoxiao to send his father and sister back first, while she chatted with her mother-in-law.
It's naturally inconvenient for a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to overhear each other's private conversations.
Shen Yao brought Tu Shiyan back to the bedroom, brewed a pot of tea for her mother-in-law, and served it to her politely.
Tu Shiyan took the teacup but didn't drink it right away.
She stood up, took Shen Yao's hand, and said with a smile, "Good daughter-in-law, Xiao Xiao is so lucky to have such a good partner as you."
She pulled Shen Yao over and sat down next to her, then directly stated what was on her mind without any beating around the bush.
“Yaoyao, I know that childbirth is very hard, but now your other two husbands both have children, and they are both Immortal Emperors.”
She patted Shen Yao's hand and said, "I know you've had a hard time, but if you're willing, could you have a child with Xiao Xiao too?"
