Chapter 950: Chapter 951: Longevity Banquet_1

The next morning, Xuanyue Cave’s outer courtyard buzzed with excitement. Everyone looked overjoyed as many powerful Demon Kings came one after another to celebrate Lady Xuan Yue’s birthday, while the smaller forces among the Demon Clan could only leave their gifts and names without even the privilege to enter and share a cup of tea.

“Hey, another player?” Song Jian sat in a stone pavilion with a clear view of the outer courtyard gate. This was the perfect moment to broaden his horizons, as Song Jian was curious to see just how many formidable beings existed on the land ruled by the Jiuli Demon Clan.

To him, the Jiuli Clan were nothing more than special NPCs. Although this place was far from Doomsday City, it didn’t hinder the possibility of future interactions.

“Fang Demon King wishes Lady Xuan Yue a happy birthday and presents his gifts, a nine-star begonia plant and a meteorite from beyond the heavens, weighing thirteen pounds and six ounces.”

“Giant Elephant Demon King wishes Lady Xuan Yue a happy birthday and presents his gifts, a piece of bright moon jade and a third-tier golden lotus!”

…

After listening for a while, Song Jian couldn’t help feeling speechless—these gifts from the Demon Kings were merely materials of green and blue quality, which probably wouldn’t be valued at more than a few tens of thousands of Doomsday Coins if auctioned off in Doomsday City.

“This is rather shabby,” Song Jian shook his head slightly.

“Monster Alliance, leader Wang Yuetu, wishes Lady Xuan Yue a happy birthday and presents a nine-winged crystal drill, a Dark Gold weapon. Lady Xuan Yue invites Leader Wang Yuetu to take a front seat in the hall!”

“Wang Yuetu? A player?” Song Jian was startled. Soon enough, he saw a young woman in her twenties followed by two men, being led towards the banquet hall by the servants.

These three individuals bore distinct animal traits, be it ears or eyes, differing from ordinary humans. While other demons merely took human form and could walk upright, the players had only two to three parts accentuated by beastly marks, setting them visibly apart from regular NPCs.

But that only applied to common Demon Clan NPCs. The powerful ones were almost indistinguishable from humans in appearance.

Soon, a large group of Demon Kings came to offer their birthday wishes. Each of these kings, leading significant forces, provided gifts much more precious than those before, but none exceeded the value of Wang Yuetu’s present.

“Song Jian, what are you doing here? I’ve been looking everywhere for you,” Lan Ling’s voice came from a distance. Turning his head, Song Jian saw Lan Ling hurrying over, “Come on, hurry up, the birthday banquet is about to start. I’ll take you for a big feast, haha!”

With that, Lan Ling dragged Song Jian towards the banquet hall. By this time, the hall was packed with Demon Kings, most of whom were above level fifty and had first-tier combat power. However, a few Demon Kings exuded an aura surpassing the first-tier, possessing second-tier combat strength. Without exception, these powerful kings were seated at the very front of the hall.

The three members of the Monster Alliance, though seated quite up front, owed their position not to strength but to wealth—a single Dark Gold weapon had earned them overwhelming prestige.

Lan Ling pulled Song Jian to the very front of the hall, even ahead of the seats of the few Demon Kings with second-tier combat power. This scene caught the attention of nearly all the Demon Kings. Wang Yuetu, the leader of the Monster Alliance, looked at Song Jian with a burning gaze, her face full of interest.

“Hmph, you little demons, even daring to sit alongside this Demon King. Aren’t you afraid that after the longevity banquet, this Demon King will find trouble with you?” At this moment, a Demon King with a single horn atop his head, sitting next to Wang Yuetu, looked at the three of them with a displeased expression;

“Esteemed Demon King, we have offered a Dark Gold Quality weapon to Lady Xuan Yue as tribute. This treasure was acquired at the cost of losing over a dozen members of our alliance!” Wang Yuetu smiled obsequiously and said, “Look at that human up there; he didn’t spend a single Doomsday Coin and yet sits in a place of honor. Aren’t you resentful, Demon King? If you stand up for justice now, you can certainly gain fame among all the Demon Kings, greatly enhancing your reputation. Even Lady Xuan Yue might regard you with special favor!”

This Unicorn Demon King, who obviously had brawn over brain, was easily manipulated by Wang Yuetu’s words to transfer his animosity towards Song Jian;

Other Demon Kings also felt indignant seeing Song Jian sitting at the forefront, but they all knew Lan Ling and didn’t oppose out of respect for her;

Just then, the Unicorn Demon King abruptly stood up, pointed at Song Jian, and roared, “Hey, human boy, what gives you the right to sit above all the Demon Kings?”

Many Demon Kings, seeing someone taking the lead, all wore smiles and kept silent, sitting back to watch the show;

Song Jian was taken aback and looked at the Unicorn Demon King. The Demon King was of a towering build with a face full of rage, pointing at him as though he had been greatly insulted;

Song Jian didn’t speak but glanced around and noticed Wang Yuetu and the other players nearby. All had smirks on their faces as if they eagerly anticipated his embarrassment.

“Is this the human Wang Xiaohu mentioned?” Wang Yuetu whispered;

“Considering his relationship with the third princess of Xuanyue Cave, it’s very likely!” a youth behind him with sharp eagle eyes whispered back, looking at Song Jian with a mix of envy and jealousy. He said, “This guy is really cunning, managing to get in good with the third princess of Xuanyue Cave. If we had his ingenuity, the Monster Alliance might have already established our city…”

“Hmph, all you ever think about are good fortunes. In games, the victor is king. Having strong personal power is the key. Isn’t his current situation even more embarrassing?” A man next to him spoke disdainfully;

Lan Ling, upon hearing the Unicorn Demon King speak about Song Jian like that, trembled with rage and pointed at the Demon King as she scolded loudly, “You ugly freak, how dare you speak of my friend that way? What gives you the right to sit here? Someone, come forward and throw this brute out for this princess!”

All the Demon Kings were startled, not having expected this human to hold such an important place in Lan Ling’s heart. The Unicorn Demon King was also stunned; only then did he realize he had been used as a pawn by others!

Several servants hastened into the hall, preparing to drag the Unicorn Demon King away, but they were halted by a stern reprimand, “Step down, you ill-mannered brute. How could you treat a guest of Xuanyue Cave like this?”

Lady Xuan Yue walked forward with dignified grace, gesturing for the servants to withdraw, and glared at Lan Ling before turning her smiling face to Song Jian, “I too would like to know, what birthday gift has Lan Ling’s friend offered to celebrate my longevity?”
