The main purpose of Hao Ren’s visit to Saint Sur IV was to get his hands on the vengeful spirit. This purpose was finally achieved, and Galazur had her hands on the instrument as well as the technology needed to analyze the vengeful spirit. Everyone was happy.
“I have to go now,” Hao Ren told his newly-acquainted colleague, whom he had just met for barely a day. “I’ll leave the analysis instrument to you. If you find any new information, you know where to find me. I’m working on the Plane of Dreams case.”
Galazur was a bit surprised. “In such a hurry?”
Hao Ren glanced at the Nangong siblings next to him. “I need to help these two find their parents who were taken away by the vengeful spirit. I’m here to find clues to read the vengeful spirit’s memory, and now that things are done, you have to return quickly.”
Nangong Wuyue dragged her brother along and they bowed to express their gratitude to Galazur. They felt emotional, as for the first time in many years, they finally saw hope in finding their parents. Galazur raised her eyebrows and said, “What’s the hurry? You’ve come so far from the first galaxy, at least be my guest today. Don’t let people get the impression that the Kingdom of Dragons is slighting our guests.”
With her arms akimbo, she stood upright. “I’m teling you, you’re very lucky; us dragons are rarely this hospitable—it’s been 600 years since we last invited guests for dinner.”
The Nangong siblings looked at each other and nodded slightly. Then Wuyue said to Hao Ren with a smile. “In that case… we should accept the invitation gracefully.”
Lily blinked as she looked around. Knowing that the invitation was the real deal, she excitedly pulled on Hao Ren’s sleeve, urging, “Let’s go eat!”
Hao Ren looked at the husky helplessly, spreading out his hand as he said to Galazur, “Considering your hospitality, it’d be ungracious of me to not accept your invitation.”
Galazur brought them back to Pyroxene Peak and ordered that a banquet be prepared in honor of her friends. The banquet was to be held in the massive square at the foothill of Pyroxene Peak. The old square was where the dragons regularly met. Its grandness exceeded all human imaginations. Hao Ren felt like he was standing on an airport runway eating barbecue. No matter which direction he looked in, it was an endless flat boulder. It was said that the dragons created the square by levelling an entire mountain. Looking at the towering mountains and cliffs surrounding the square, Hao Ren could not help but believe that the legend was true.
This was a new and interesting experience for everyone: They were on the land of an alien planet, surrounded by grand and magnificent dragon peaks. They were also joined by a group of dragons in a feast. Such a scene only appeared in mythical stories. Lily was especially excited. Although she had participated in various foreign feasts in Holletta, New Aerym, and Helcrown before, none of them could match the grandeur here. The reason was simple—looking at the huge dragons and eating with them was an adventurous as well as thrilling experience!
Curiosity was in the husky’s blood, and she had now quenched it.
The dragons were of course curious about the guests at the banquet. Hao Ren had attracted the eyes of many young dragons on the way. However, the dragon queen had supreme authority there. So, when Galazur ordered them to entertain her guest, even if her guest was just a cat, no one would question it. Hence, the dragons just looked at the guests with curious eyes before they turned to enjoy the banquet.
“Dragons like to party, at least on this planet,” said Galazur, who accompanied the guests in her human form. She smiled and pointed at the huge creatures around them. “As long as ther’s a party, these guys won’t ask questions. They don’t care who you’re entertaining or why you’re holding a banquet, as long as there’s a place to eat and have fun.”
Lily was having a mouthful of barbeque. Gravy dripped down her mouth as she muttered, “Mmm… I like this lifestyle!”
Hao Ren was sitting on the floor like everyone else. It was a unique experience to eat among the creatures who were a dozen meters tall. He began to see things in Lil Pea’s perspective—at least he now understood how the little mermaid felt as she saw the world on the dinner table. He looked at the food in front of him and noticed that the dragons’ diet was unexpectedly… simple. Aside from meat, there was more meat, and all of it was cooked in barbecue style. It looked like these rugged creatures did not waste much time in studying food culture, which made him understand the reasons why Galazur enjoyed the snacks so much earlier. It seemed like this was not entirely her dietitian’s problem…
“Roasted whole elephants, roasted whole cows, roasted whole camels, roasted whole whales, and… I can’t even recognize it all,” said the Nangong Sanba, looking wide-eyed at the huge bonfires and huge pieces of meat everywhere. The dragon feast was a curious journey. “Should I be relieved to learn that these are at least cooked?”
Galazur smiled and shook her head. “Actually, some of the more traditional dragons still prefer raw meat… Of course, they would season it with salt.”
