Chapter 2273: Duke Shouzhe’s Banquet! Congratulations From All Sides

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

This bustling ranking event continued for quite a while before it gradually came to an end.

And at this moment.

The Wang family’s Duke banquet and wedding banquet finally began.

In an instant, Changning Guard became extraordinarily lively, and even those families who did not receive invitations would come from afar to join the excitement.

After all, during this period, Changning Guard was a gathering place for strong figures. If by chance they could catch the eye of one of these powerful figures, they might suddenly rise to prominence. Even if luck didn’t favor them, sharing in the Wang family’s joy and seeing the spectacle would still be worthwhile.

Liu Gaoliang from Changning County School and a group of aspiring students, under President Lu’s recommendation, joined the Wang family attendant team.

This was an enormous honor, as only those trusted had the opportunity to be included in the recommended list.

Not only them, but President Lu Xianghui also joined the reception team. Besides being the president of Changning County School, he also held another identity as Wang Liyao’s follower.

Once a follower, always a follower for life. Besides, compared to the title of county school president, he was more concerned about the identity of a "follower".

Liu Gaoliang and the group of students were just a small part of the large number of attendants. As more and more guests arrived to offer congratulations, they were busy every day, entertaining various guests, most of them from 5th, 6th, and 7th-rank families.

Fortunately, despite the hard work, they were quite excited. The Wang family was famous for their generosity, and after this occasion, they wouldn’t need to worry about cultivation resources for quite some time.

And as the date of the Wang family’s grand banquet approached, the guests’ reputations grew even larger.

Representatives from first-grade families and nobles of the Immortal-Demon Dynasties arrived, as well as emperors from various countries, such as Emperor Yuan You of South Qin, Emperor Yan Qing of West Jin, Emperor Qingyu of Liang Country, and Emperor Yuan Ping of Da Zhou, among others, all arriving gradually.

Suddenly, all sides were shaken.

Many cultivators lived their entire lives without ever seeing so many Transcendent Void Realm big shots gathered in one place. It was truly a rare sight.

And the pride of the local people of Changning also reached its peak.

Look, our Changning Wang family’s Master Shouzhe hosts a Duke banquet, along with a direct line wedding banquet, and even emperors from various countries come to congratulate us. This spectacle is truly invincible.

Those unaware might think it’s the coronation of a new Immortal Emperor~

And while the Wang family was hosting their grand banquet with great fanfare.

Immortal Palace.

Inside the internal dungeon.

The dungeon housed a special cell.

In terms of size, this cell was no larger than other cells, but inside it was clean and tidy, brightly lit, and equipped with basic living facilities like tables, chairs, and benches, even shower and bath facilities.

Instead of calling it a cell, it might as well be a special single accommodation, the kind where board and lodging are all free.

And inside this special cell, a young gentleman wearing a tidy white robe was huddled in the corner sofa, hungrily reading a volume of a widescreen novel - The Daily Life of the Overbearing Princess’ volume thirty-four.

The young gentleman was, naturally, the long-unseen Sacred Race prince, Si Wuyou.

For decades he had been imprisoned in this cell, albeit without mistreatment, though a bit boring. Later, someone brought him a batch of various pamphlets.

Initially indifferent, he gradually became engrossed, and now he’s a fervent fan of pamphlets.

Unable to stop himself without a daily read.

In his hand, this ’The Daily Life of the Overbearing Princess’ was currently his favorite novel.

This book is well-written, excellently composed, filled with various exhilarating moments throughout.

It’s a pity that volume thirty-five is yet to be released, leaving him repeating volume thirty-four over and over, cursing between each reading: "I can tolerate its brevity, but they added unnecessary content. I might have tolerated that too, but it ends abruptly! It’s unbearable! Oh my, when is volume thirty-five coming out?"

Decades of bleak and imprisonment life left Si Wuyou seeming a bit plumper, a bit fairer, more affluent in appearance, and less like the domineering gentleman he once was.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

At this moment, a prison guard with Heavenly Person Cultivation Stage tapped the bars, shouting loudly: "Inmate 9528, it’s meal time."

Saying this, the prison guard passed buckets of various dishes into the cell.

Today’s menu was extraordinarily rich, remarkably extravagant.

"Slap!"

Si Wuyou’s pamphlet fell to the ground.

He stared blankly at the extravagant dishes, tears uncontrollably streaming down his face.

Is it finally the execution meal?

Oh my~ He, the Sacred Race Direct Line Immortal Seed Si Wuyou, his ambitious alternate world journey has come to an end.

It’s a pity that from the first day in this alternate world, he was captured and imprisoned without getting a proper view of this world. Is he really going to say goodbye to this world now?

"What are you thinking?" The prison guard knocked on the bars grumpily, "Inmate 9528, today’s the joyous day of Shou Duke’s Duke banquet, also the grand day of Young Master Rich marrying two princesses, don’t go moping around bringing bad luck. Cheer up, every inmate gets extra meals today~ Celebration worldwide."

"What? Not an execution meal? It’s Young Master Rich and two princesses’ wedding day?" Si Wuyou breathed a sigh of relief, his curiosity piqued, "What kind of person is Young Master Rich to marry two princesses at once?"

With this thought, Si Wuyou found his ’The Daily Life of the Overbearing Princess’ pamphlet suddenly not as appealing.

"Heh, you can’t compare to Young Master Rich." The prison guard spoke with admiration for Wang Fugui, "He is the first noble young master of Immortal-Demon Dynasties, marrying two princesses at once, unprecedented and unmatched."

Hmph!

Si Wuyou inwardly sneered.

It’s just a scion from an ordinary world, thinking it’d be some supreme being. If Si Wuyou could return to Tianrui Saint Dynasty, marrying an Immortal Dynasty princess would be a breeze, wouldn’t it?

Though marrying two might be slightly challenging... but worth a try.

While Si Wuyou fantasized, the prison guard switched topics, coaxing out a mysterious volume thirty-five of ’The Daily Life of the Overbearing Princess’: "Latest serial edition, want it?"

"Want, want, want!"

Si Wuyou nodded repeatedly, drooling.

This was his spiritual sustenance for survival.

Compared to this book, everything else was trivial.

"Flat rate, one hundred Immortal Crystals."

"Take, take, take!" Si Wuyou paid the price painfully yet joyously.

His storage ring had already been confiscated, most of his assets ’safely stored’ by Immortal Palace, leaving him only a low-grade storage ring and a small amount of Spirit Stones, spending painfully indeed.

Holding the new serialized pamphlet, Si Wuyou happily enjoyed the meals alongside reading new Chapters, feeling deeply satisfied, realizing that life’s joy was just so, completely forgetting he was still trapped in a cell.

His emotions surged, mentally shouting.

When I return to Tianrui Saint Dynasty, I must marry two princesses!
