Chapter 166 Delicate Music, Enchanting Dance of a Celestial Being.
Lin Linhou and his wife, along with their two companions, soon arrived before the Heavenly Book Imperial Desk.
The originally blank imperial desk suddenly revealed a marriage contract, with only the name and other fields remaining blank.
"Huh? This is still a simplified Chinese printed book? Is the Heavenly Court keeping up with the times?"
Lin Linhou felt that this style of painting was very out of place.
Yuanshi Tianzun, standing to the side, said, "What else? If we don't use simplified characters, should we use oracle bone script?"
"If you don't like this font, you can change it. Heroic font, casual font, cursive script, seal script... the font color can also be adjusted freely, and even the font size is sometimes the same."
The Primordial Celestial Venerable raised his hand to demonstrate the spell, and the font and color on the celestial book began to change randomly, and even the background could be given special effects.
Lin Linhou: ...
Fifth Star Bell: ...
Beauty: This is so interesting.
"No need, the original version is fine, it's simple and clear."
Lin Linhou rubbed his temples, interrupting Yuanshi Tianzun's continued display of skill.
He was starting to wonder if it was some kind of cryptic text or some kind of background removal software...
Then, the three of them used their fingertips as pens and their thoughts as ink to write their names in the air in front of them.
Then the names in front of the three people turned into streams of light and fell onto the Heavenly Book. In the blank space between the couple's names, gilded characters in grids appeared.
Then the writing on the Heavenly Book faded away again, but three beams of light flew out and entered the three people's brows.
This is a mark on some kind of great principle, its main function is probably to bestow blessings.
"The Heavenly Book has been written! The Great Dao has bestowed blessings!"
"It's done!"
This signifies that the three of them officially became a blessed married couple in the Heavenly Court's Lingxiao Palace, witnessed by the Great Xia Dynasty's laws.
"Give me a seat!"
"Let the feast begin!"
"Guests, please take your seats!"
"play music!"
"The dancers enter!"
"Serve the fruit to your heart's content!"
With a wave of his hand, Yuanshi Tianzun conjured up many chairs and tables on both sides of the hall.
Everyone had their own seat, and their names were displayed on the seats.
Outside the Lingxiao Palace, palace maids flew in one after another carrying trays of food.
Place all the food in front of each person.
At the palace gate, there was probably a person like the head chef of the imperial kitchen, an old man holding a list and reciting the names of the dishes.
Each time a dish was announced, a palace maid beside each guest would lift the lid of the dish.
"The dishes for today's banquet!"
"Heavenly Dragon Liver, nine-nine coins!"
"Phoenix Marrow, 99 coins!"
"A treasure in the palm of a unicorn, worth ninety-nine coins!"
"One crane in three different ways: roasted, steamed, and stewed!"
"One dragon egg!"
"Wooden dragon tendon, nine-nine coins!"
"One Pegasus Ham!"
"One of the three dishes, each made with a Heavenly River Golden Carp!"
"Brew a pot of Hundred Immortal Fruits!"
"A pot of lotus-infused nectar!"
"Three Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Fruits!"
"One hundred Purple Fairy Grapes!"
"One thousand Fire Sunflower Seeds!"
"Two sections of Jade Pool Lotus Root!"
"Ten Formless Green Lotus Seeds!"
"One plate of water spinach!"
"One plate of Bai Shi Su!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
……
"A peach that has been blessed for nine thousand years."
"In conclusion, the list is complete, totaling eighty-one immortal items!"
The head chef of the imperial kitchen left after announcing the dishes outside the door, since he was not qualified to set foot inside the Lingxiao Palace.
The set of those items that were just mentioned is placed on the table in front of each guest.
However, this table seems to possess some kind of spatial power; despite being a small table, it can hold eighty-one dishes comparable to a celestial Manchu Han Imperial Feast.
You can easily grab or take any food whenever you want.
Moreover, the variety of dishes is very comprehensive, including large fish and meat dishes, as well as fruits, vegetables, wines and beverages, and even small items such as melon seeds and grapes.
But even a fool would know that these are definitely not the food found in the mortal world.
What mortals usually refer to as dragon liver and phoenix marrow are merely the first two dishes served at a celestial banquet.
Lin Linhou was sitting on the throne with Fifth Star Bell and Hongyan. It was spacious enough that the three of them could sit together without feeling crowded. There was even enough extra space for Hongyan to put her tail.
And the dishes in front of them were naturally three times the usual amount.
Lin Linhou originally thought that it was inappropriate for the three of them to sit in this position, and that they were using the Heavenly Book as a table for eating.
Is the art style a bit off?
('?')
But Yuanshi Tianzun said that he could sit there without worry, since the main person was not there, and this thing was just for decoration.
After all, only when the Jade Emperor sits here is this throne truly a throne, and only then is this heavenly book truly a heavenly book.
Normally, especially now that the Heavenly Court is shattered.
"These chairs and benches are only good-looking; they're completely useless."
At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun was on the lower right side, having also found himself a seat.
Just like he said, he had almost finished his work for the day, and for the rest of the time, he was just an ordinary old man who was freeloading on meals.
"After being busy for more than two days, this old man can finally relax a bit."
After all, he and his father, who had regained his strength, had put in a lot of effort to prepare for the wedding banquet.
For example, recalling so many celestial palace maids ahead of time, as well as the cooks from the imperial kitchen, took a lot of effort.
And the main focus is on one thing:
The banquet hosted by our Heavenly Court was prepared by him and Laozi together. No matter what, we absolutely cannot lose face!
Everything is done to the highest standards.
"It would be perfect if we could get a few more ginseng fruits for you three, but unfortunately we couldn't."
The Primordial Celestial Venerable exclaimed that it was still lacking something.
"Tsk, not perfect!"
Lin Linhou: Huh?? Not perfect enough?
I already think this is going too far.
I originally just wanted to have a normal wedding with my two wives and invite my friends over for a get-together.
You've already had it done.
It's like that story, "I'm about to become the Jade Emperor."
……
Once all the dishes were ready...
Dancers, dressed even more glamorously than the palace maids who had previously served dishes, began to enter.
The light inside the hall suddenly dimmed, highlighting the central dance floor.
Then everyone understood why ancient monarchs liked to continue playing music and dancing.
And it's still the Celestial Palace version right now.
What else could describe her as graceful as a startled swan, elegant as a swimming dragon, radiant as an autumn chrysanthemum, flourishing as a spring pine, and faintly resembling a light cloud veiling the moon—the beauty of the Goddess of the Luo River.
These dancers were accompanied by melodious or stirring music.
Her lotus-like steps tread upon the scenery of rivers, lakes, and seas, her figure accompanied by a hundred birds and auspicious beasts. Is the movement of her lotus-like arms, or a rainbow of colorful clouds? It is already like a dream, indistinguishable.
She was so captivating that every smile, every glance was enchanting, and her gentle, graceful movements were mesmerizing.
Especially in this case,
The sun, moon, and stars illuminate the beautiful woman; auspicious clouds and myriad beasts adorn the banished immortal.
Her dance, shattering the rainbow's shimmering light, traversed mountains and seas; her captivating beauty graced the world time and again.
……
These dancers not only perform group dances and duets, but also solo dances, sword dances, gun dances, or combat dances with weapons. The key is that they can also fly at any time.
At least until the end of the banquet, no two dishes were the same.
"Linhou, don't you think they danced exceptionally well?"
Fifth Star Bell watched for a while, then turned to ask Lin Linhou, whose eyes were also shining with focused attention.
Lin Linhou: (?>?<?) Of course it looks good, is there any need to say more?
Even the legendary Daji, who brought ruin to the country, was at most comparable to the appearance and figure of these dancers before us.
So you really can't blame King Zhou for this.
"Heh, the fox demon Daji? In terms of beauty from a worldly perspective, she might indeed be slightly better than the dancers on the field, but she would definitely not be much better or even to the point of overwhelming her."
After all, the dancers in the arena were all ethereal beings, their beauty second only to the Palace Mistress of Guanghan and the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.
"Although she is very alluring, that fox demon is quite skilled, but when it comes to dancing, she is a complete novice."
Yuanshi Tianzun, who was sitting in the audience, said that without using bewitching magic, every dancer in the audience could easily defeat Daji, since none of them had spent millions of years cultivating their dance skills.
They had mastered all the dances in the world to the highest degree, far surpassing the skill of that fox demon from back then.
"Linhou, do you like it? That's great! In that case, I'll have to study it carefully. Then I can use the simulated clone to summon it at home anytime, increasing the fun and means of emotional communication."
Lin Linhou: ?_??
The other guests in the audience were also captivated by the spectacle.
When the scene is too breathtakingly beautiful, coupled with the fact that these dancers have cultivated this skill for thousands of years, their every smile and movement has almost formed a certain rule and aura.
Moreover, whatever element you prefer—whether it's landscapes, beautiful scenery, flowers, birds, fish, or the vast starry sky, poetic imagery or bloodshed—it's all incorporated into the dance and the changing environment.
However, there were a few people whose minds weren't on watching the dance from the very beginning.
For example:
Red Beauty: ?_? Dragon liver? Dragon tendon? Dragon eye? Dragon egg? Dragon tofu? ...
Σ( ° △ °|||)︴Ah! How scary!
Xia Simeng: (′???`) Phoenix marrow? Phoenix claws? Phoenix egg? Phoenix blood tofu? ...
Hiss... Xia Simeng looked at the team members around her.
Is it really okay for us to eat this?
And there's the red tassel: ('?') a treasure in the palm of a unicorn?
After consuming this, will my Crimson Scale Lock be more powerful? Will it provide a buff?
