Chapter 673: Chapter 667 Banquet Begins (4 more updates)
From a girl transforming into a woman, Qin Li had become even more beautiful. Amidst her purity, there was an addition of a different kind of temperament. With her meticulous grooming, she was particularly dazzling, even causing Su Chen’s mind to waver, wishing he could relive last night’s affairs with her.
However, he was ultimately a rational person. He suppressed those thoughts and, accompanied by Qin Li and Qin Du, left the tavern and headed towards the royal palace.
At this moment.
The Royal Palace.
Lanterns hung high and decorations adorned the scene.
Especially in Tianhe Hall, where tonight, the twentieth birthday banquet of Seventh Princess Chu Xuan was being held.
Tianhe Hall had been undergoing repairs since a year ago, consuming who knows how many Mysterious Stones.
Tonight, Tianhe Hall was aglow with Crystal Stone luminescence, stunningly beautiful.
Square Spirit Water Pools were joyously spouting fountains.
Some Sect Disciples from the Organ Sect were performing in groups of three or five. The Organ Sect is considered an extremely ancient and niche category within cultivation sects and their performances mostly involved mechanistic tricks. It was quite interesting to watch, akin to innovative high-tech exhibitions on Earth.
In addition, there were continuously Demon Beast cooked dishes, Spiritual Wine, Spirit Fruits, and so forth, brought forth by the court officials.
The scene was bustling.
The number of people in Tianhe Hall was increasing, both men and women.
Tonight, many people who were privileged to attend the birthday banquet were indeed extraordinary.
Those who came were mostly elite Monsters and geniuses among geniuses.
However, even among Monsters and geniuses, there are tiers.
Those who had already arrived and were drinking, chatting, or dancing with attractive women they favored, could only be considered lower-tier, perhaps!
The real top-tier beings had not yet arrived.
As for tonight’s protagonist, the Seventh Princess, she naturally had not arrived yet either and was still in the Seventh Princess Mansion, getting dressed and carefully made up with the assistance of her maids.
She removed her veil.
In the mirror, a delicately gorgeous face that was difficult to look directly at was revealed. Even the maids doing Chu Xuan’s makeup hardly dared to look at the princess too long, fearing they might be entranced.
If women felt this way, one could imagine the reaction of men upon seeing this stunning face.
Suddenly, Chu Xuan slightly furrowed her brows.
"Princess, what’s wrong?" one of the maids asked respectfully.
"The makeup is slightly too heavy," the Seventh Princess said.
"Princess, do you dislike heavy makeup?"
"Yes!" the Seventh Princess nodded. It wasn’t that she disliked heavy makeup, but she had researched Su Chen’s preferences before; the women he liked were almost always lightly made-up, Su Chen did not like heavy makeup.
Su Chen had not yet seen her face beneath the veil, and deep inside, she had the urge to leave a perfect impression on him tonight.
She did not know if she really liked Su Chen, but indeed, she cared a bit about his thoughts and opinions.
The maids did not know what Chu Xuan was thinking, but since Chu Xuan had spoken, where dared they not comply? They quickly helped the Seventh Princess remove her makeup and then, carefully and cautiously, redid her makeup lightly.
Time gradually passed.
The sky had already darkened.
Tianhe Hall.
It was already very, very lively.
Approximately four to five hundred people were invited tonight!
Yet, over three hundred had already arrived.
The attendees, almost without exception, were under thirty-five years old. This was a decree by the emperor because having older individuals present would constrain the others. Tonight’s birthday banquet was held for Seventh Princess Chu Xuan, a young person, hence, the invitees were also all young.
Among these four hundred invited, who among them wasn’t a monster who could easily crush tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of other youths?
Like those at the top of the Great Cang King Ranking, like those Saint Heirs and Saintesses from First-Rank Powers, like the young masters and misses from the ancient families in the imperial city, like the young leaders from the Azure Dragon Army...
Truly, not one of them was simple.
Even among them were those ancient Legacy families who hardly appeared in the world.
Anyway, one was more terrifying than the next.
A glance across the room revealed that almost no one was below the Fifth Level of the Heavenly Fate Realm, and to think, all these individuals were under thirty-five years old! Not below the Fifth Level of the Heavenly Fate Realm! Truly terrifying!
Suddenly.
"Great Prince Chu Yun has arrived!"
"Second Prince Chu Ming has arrived!"
......
Suddenly, a voice rippled through the air.
Then, one could see at the entrance of Taihe Hall, two groups of people arriving.
One group, dressed in light yellow robes, dignified and upright, slightly raising his head, was handsome with a smile and wearing the Dragon Ascension Sword slanted across, followed by a young man who looked like a bodyguard.
This person was Great Prince Chu Yun, and the one following him was his personal bodyguard.
Chu Yun was thirty-three years old this year, at the Eighth Level of the Divine Power Realm. His talent for martial cultivation was mediocre. Of course, Chu Yun did not rely on martial strength to succeed; he was surrounded by too many top-level experts, like mountains and seas, and he did not need to possess terrifying strength himself. He relied more on his identity as the Great Prince and his ability to relieve his Imperial Father’s worries.
The young man following Great Prince Chu Yun was thirty years old, at the Fourth Level of the Creation Realm, sufficiently terrifying, silent as ice. His sole duty was to protect the Great Prince’s safety.
Then, another group, also two individuals, Second Prince Chu Ming and his personal bodyguard, who was also at the Fourth Level of the Creation Realm. Second Prince Chu Ming appeared gentler than Great Prince Chu Yun, emanating a somewhat scholarly aura. However, those who knew him would not think so; Second Prince was famously ruthless. If one were to say which of the royal princes had committed the most killings, Second Prince would undoubtedly be at the forefront.
As soon as the two princes arrived, almost everyone inside Tianhe Hall bowed slightly, "We greet the Great Prince, Second Prince."
The two princes smiled and nodded as they entered.
Following that, the place became even more lively. Many self-proclaimed talented monsters took turns toasting the Great Prince and Second Prince.
Subsequently, some more princes arrived, Third Prince, Fourth Prince, Fifth Prince—surprisingly Sixth Prince was missing—then Ninth Prince, Thirty-Sixth Prince, and several princesses, First Princess, Second Princess, Twelfth Princess, and others.
The princes and princesses who could come to Tianhe Hall tonight were essentially the favored ones. Those less favored didn’t even have the qualifications to attend Seventh Princess Chu Xuan’s birthday banquet tonight. Although all were princes and princesses, the treatment they received was worlds apart.
If Chu Xuan was the pearl among all the princes and princesses, then the Great Prince, Second Prince, Third Prince, and First Princess were the stars surrounding this pearl, while many other princes and princesses were not even stars, they were the darkness, the oblivion, the overlooked...
Suddenly.
"Young Master Chen Yue has arrived!" suddenly, a court official announced loudly.
