661 A Small Leaf Boat, Fishing Under the Sunse (2/2)

Many stores along the long roads of the Valley of Gluttony were closed. Nobles and chefs from these stores walked out with imposing dispositions and headed toward the tower.

The atmosphere in the entire Valley of Gluttony now seemed somewhat different.

On the spacious square of the Glutton God's Building, countless tables were lined up, and circular high platforms floated in midair. Those floating platforms had also been arranged neatly.

From a distance, they looked like countless twinkling stars.

These positions had been prepared for the nobles of the great forces in the Hidden Dragon Continent, while the bottom positions were for the guests.

The colossal Glutton God's Building was beyond imagination.

Heavenly Spring's Saint Son also arrived at this time, with his hands clasped behind him. He had donned a golden armor that sharpened the true energy emanating from his body, making it seem like a spear that sought to pierce through the heavens and the earth.

Behind him was a young girl in red. She had a beautiful face and luscious lips.

They entered the Glutton God's Building and under the guidance of the waiter, heading to a high floating platform.

There were precious fruit and elixirs filled with spirit energy atop the floating platforms. They had been neatly placed together with a gourd of sparkling, excellent wine.

Heavenly Spring's Saint Son landed on a floating platform, sporting a peaceful expression. He strode forward casually, sat at the table, and crossed his legs.

”Setting Sun Jade Spirit Wine! Smelling it is enough to tell how delicious it is. It is truly unspeakable,” said the Heavenly Spring's Saint Son with a faint smile.

A small distance away, someone else smiled in return; it was the Heaven's Pivot's Saint Son, Liancheng, who was seated on another platform, also with his legs crossed. He poured the crystal-clear wine into a tumbler, and it began to reflect the sunlight, sparking vividly. The Heaven's Pivot's Saint Son shook the tumbler gently and also praised the wine incessantly.

Some bells rang out, and a lady—who had donned a thin, white silk dress, which made her resemble an angel—landed on another platform. Her bearings were extraordinary, like an angel, which made people respect her.

When the Heavenly Spring's Saint Son and the Heaven's Pivot's Saint Son saw this lady, they gave her slight bows.

”Welcome, Celestial Saintess.” Then, Liancheng raised the wine tumbler and began to cheerfully speak to the veiled girl.

On the other platform, the Heavenly Spring's Saint Son had a passionate expression, and with a smile on his face, he nodded.

The Celestial Saintess' black hair cascaded like a waterfall, and her eyes were charming and intoxicating. Toward the two Saint Son's attempt at conversation, the Saint Daughter did not reply at all, and her gaze remained cold.

Experts from many forces within and outside the Hidden Dragon Royal Court began to arrive.

Pill Palace's Master, Luo Danqing, had also taken a seat. He had arrived in the company of the Master of the Grand Barren Sect, the Master of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, and a group of powerful experts in the mainland.

As soon as this group arrived at the Glutton God's Banquet, the atmosphere at the venue seemed to improve.

The diners and local chefs from Valley of Gluttony, who were already seated, were also enthusiastic.

That night was only the opening ceremony of the Glutton God's Banquet, not the main banquet, yet so many people had been looking forward to it. This was because they could get to see the top chefs in the Valley of Gluttony. Their talent at cooking made people greatly admire them; even the Saint Sons and Daughters also wanted to please these chefs.

There was even a special first-grade Chef in Valley of Gluttony.

The Glutton God's Banquet was not just a festival; it was, in fact, a great baptism ceremony mainly for assigning ranks on the Tablet of Gluttony of the Valley of Gluttony.

In the Valley of Gluttony, there were a lot of chefs who practiced hard. They had been looking forward to the Glutton God's Banquet for an opportunity to showcase their talents. Once their rankings increased to the top of the list, they would shock the world.

Not only was this their chance, but it was also their reunion; hence, everyone was serious.

Rumble!

After everyone had taken their seats, thunder rumbled in the sky.

At that moment, the Glutton God's Building seemed to wake up.

A figure slowly approached from the center of the square. He was hunch-backed and had donned a baggy brocade robe. He also had a solemn expression on his face.

When this person, who had his hands clasped behind his back, reached the center of the square, everyone became silent. When everyone in the tower saw who it was, they sucked in breaths of cold air.

”The Great Elder of the Valley of Gluttony, Chu Changsheng.”

...

A little boat had been drifting forward slowly for an unknown amount of time, and the downpour had reduced to a drizzle. One could not tell at what point the winds reduced and the waves disappeared.

Sitting on the boat with his eyes closed, Bu Fang looked to be asleep. His breathing was uniform and smooth.

When the boat came to a stop, Bu Fang opened his eyes. He let out a breath and stood up, causing the water underneath the boat to form ripples. He swung his hands, and the fishing rod's line was cast far from him. With a soft splash, the baited hook plunged into the water.

Bu Fang calmly stood there, quietly fishing.

More ripples began to form as shadows appeared atop the misty lake.
