Chapter 30 Night Banquet
"This pear is really delicious." Gu Qingyuan said as he took a bite of the pear in his hand.

When Gu Qingyuan was leaving that day, he was caught up by Li Tong halfway through his journey and was forced to give him a few baskets of pears. After that, Gu Qingyuan went into the mountains whenever he had time.

It was all because of his innate talent for picking up things and his extraordinary achievement. Apart from picking up some broken ritual objects in the first few days, his good luck exploded yesterday and he actually picked up a spiritual object in broad daylight. The spiritual object, the "Jiaomuqiu", was lying right at Gu Qingyuan's feet.

What God does not take, is to be blamed.

Gu Qingyuan happily put away the hornbeam and lingered in the famous mountains and rivers. One reason was to look for spiritual objects in the world, and the other was to see if any spiritual objects would come to his door.

Like Li Tong, he has perfect magical powers and is about to build a foundation for immortality. He needs three or five wood-based spiritual objects, the more the better.

"what?"

As he was walking, Gu Qingyuan saw something emitting red light in front of him.

Luck has come, Gu Qingyuan thought to himself, and when he got closer he was slightly disappointed.

Looks like an invitation?

Gu Qingyuan opened it and took a look:
As it happens to be an auspicious occasion and the birthday of my grandfather, I have specially prepared some wine and look forward to your visit. I hope you will not refuse.

There was no name, no surname, and no address. Gu Qingyuan just put it in his pocket and forgot about it.

After another half an incense stick of time had passed, suddenly a shadowy figure appeared and a small house appeared in front of them.

"Whoever lives in this remote wilderness must be a mountain goblin or a monster," Gu Qingyuan thought to himself.

"Greetings, young master."

The people in front of the mansion seemed to have discovered Gu Qingyuan, and one of them separated from the crowd and walked in front of Gu Qingyuan.

Her voice sounds like the sound of the sound of a spring, her figure is like a willow swaying in the wind, her chest is trembling and bulging, and her back is round like pearls. What a beautiful lady.

After the beauty bowed, she looked at Gu Qingyuan with her eyes shining brightly: "Sir, are you here to attend my ancestor's birthday banquet?"

A golden light flashed in Gu Qingyuan's eyes, and he understood. Relying on his cultivation, he nodded in agreement.

"Please show us your invitation, sir." The beauty spoke again.

Gu Qingyuan took out the invitation he had picked up, and also took out two pears, "Wild fruits from the mountains, just a small gift, I wish you good health and happiness."

The beautiful woman took the pear and her tongue could not help but brush across her red lips: "Sir, you are too polite. I thank you on behalf of our ancestors. I am Hu Pan'er, please follow me."

After being led into the mansion and seated at the banquet, Gu Qingyuan took a quick look and was a little surprised. Apart from the host family's nest of foxes, all the guests were transformed monsters, and some had not yet completely shed their demonic bodies. It was truly a scene of demons dancing wildly.

Depending on the level of cultivation and bloodline, the transformation of spirits and monsters will take place at some time. For those with spiritual roots like Li Tong, the transformation will take place later.

Most of the demons present were in the Qi Refining stage, and one of them was at the peak of the Qi Refining stage, just one step away from the Foundation Establishment stage. However, this one step difference was a world of difference.

“I don’t know how much power that old ancestor has.” Gu Qingyuan relied on his fierce martial arts and talismans in his hands to kill enemies who had established their foundation, so he was not afraid.

I could still hear Hu Paner going to the back hall to report.

"Sister Pan'er, where did you find such a handsome young man?"

Before Hu Paner could answer, another voice came:

"I saw Sister Pan Er leading that young man to the table. She kept looking back along the way. I'm afraid she might be in love with him."

There was a burst of laughter.

"You bunch of little sluts, instead of practicing well, you are teasing me. Listen carefully!" It was Hu Paner.

"That young master has profound cultivation and gave me two spiritual fruits as birthday gifts. He is obviously a wealthy cultivator from nowhere. Although we cannot see his background and find out his intentions, I believe he is a friend rather than an enemy. The demon kings are fighting fiercely nowadays. You should be careful when serving them. Don't offend them and make enemies for no reason. If something goes wrong, you will be in trouble!"

Demon King? Gu Qingyuan chewed on these two words slowly. On the other side, Hu Paner scolded them, sent away a group of vixens, sighed softly, and walked inside.

There was a large room inside. Hu Paner pushed open the door and saw a gauze curtain inside. There was a person sitting inside. It was the old birthday star.

"Pan'er, why are you here?"

"There's a cultivator outside. He's a stranger and I can't see his background clearly. He wasn't included in the invitation, so I brought two spiritual fruits as a gift." Hu Paner said as she presented the pears.

A jade hand lifted the curtain, and it turned out to be a beautiful woman, graceful and elegant, so beautiful that even Hu Pan'er, who was so beautiful, was outshined.

The beautiful woman picked up the pear and took a few glances at it: "It's the Qingxi Mountain pear, a rare treasure." The beautiful woman had red polish on her nails, which contrasted with the white of the pear, making the red and white clearly distinguishable.

"Take one of these pears and share the remaining one with the others. It will be of great benefit to you. As for that man," the beautiful woman paused,
"The Pear Monster of Qingxi Mountain is a lazy person. He is a pure monster like me and does not eat blood. I heard that he is only one step away from building an immortal foundation like me. If that person has some connection with the Pear Monster, then he should be served carefully."

"Pan'er knows."

"Retreat!"

After Gu Paner left, the beautiful woman walked out of the gauze curtain, stroked her mouth and coughed a few times, and then spread her hands, there was a small pool of blood.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh, as if crying and complaining.

"The banquet is finally started. I wonder how the food will be." Gu Qingyuan didn't have so many worries.

Two rows of maids came in carrying food trays, led by Hu Paner.

The maids distributed the dishes, and Hu Paner walked straight to Gu Qingyuan.

"Enjoy your meal, young master."

Hu Paner opened her red lips slightly, squatted down to place the food on the table, and as she squatted down, her body formed an arc, which was breathtaking.

Gu Qingyuan remained unmoved and just ordered dishes, all of which were seasonal delicacies and wild fruits. It was not the banquet he had imagined.

As if seeing Gu Qingyuan's doubts, Hu Paner said, "We are all pure monsters. We usually only eat wild fruits. We are not like turbid monsters who love blood the most."

Gu Qingyuan nodded to show that he understood. Blood eating means eating people.

Halfway through the meal, the birthday girl came out. She was wearing a bright red wide-sleeved pleated skirt, a pink tulle draped behind her, and a golden hairpin on her head swaying back and forth. It was a very spectacular sight.

The graceful, elegant and unparalleled beauty attracted everyone's attention as soon as she appeared, and even the candlelight on the table dimmed a little.

She looked around and raised her wine glass: "Today is my 300th birthday, Hu Yanran. Thank you for your kindness. I have prepared some wine to toast you all."

"Madam Hu, you are too polite. We are the Qing monsters and we are one body. It is only natural for us to come here."

The people below looked at each other, and finally a bull demon stood up and responded with a glass of wine.

"Brother Niu is right. We share honor and disgrace together." Hu Yanran invited the bull demon to take a seat. "In fact, the reason why Yanran is holding a banquet today is to discuss something with you."

The people below fell silent again, their eyes flickered, and Gu Qingyuan became a little anxious.

Where did these riddle-tellers come from? What's so difficult about it? It's obvious that they all know the truth but are pretending to be confused.

Gu Qingyuan looked at the quiet scene and muttered to himself.

In the end, the bull demon took on everything and was about to stand up.

Suddenly, the door of the banquet hall was kicked open. Hu Meir, who was guarding the door, fell into the hall and vomited a few mouthfuls of blood. A rough voice sounded:

"Madam Hu, how can you hold this banquet without inviting me?"

　Thank you for the 100 spirit coins rewarded by Master Yi. Please come in, one male guest~
