Unlike previous conferral ceremonies, Yu Feiyi's was held in his own fief.
So, as soon as Qian Er stepped out of the palace, he heard solemn, reverent, and grand music.
Of course, with Qian Er's musical ability, he couldn't tell whether the music was good or not. He could only tell that it was indeed pleasant to listen to, and even he could feel a resonance with it.
Along the way, Qian Er saw various bronze-style bells, large and small, emitting low鸣.
These were all Spirit Beasts.
The attendant led Qian Er to his seat. At this time, Yu Feiyi was saying something on the high platform, but Qian Er didn't hear it clearly and was too lazy to listen.
After speaking for about half an hour, just as Qian Er was dozing off, the attendant standing next to Yu Feiyi suddenly shouted in a shrill voice, "Distribute the sacrificial meat!" which startled him awake.
At this moment, the originally peaceful music suddenly became high-pitched and solemn. At the end of the dragon skin carpet, an attendant holding a golden tray walked in with a solemn expression. On the golden tray was a piece of boiled meat that looked unappetizing.
Yu Feiyi quickly walked down from the high platform, took the golden tray from the attendant's hand, and said words of thanks.
At this point, the ceremony was completely completed. According to convention, the next step was for Yu Feiyi to eat the sacrificial meat in full view of everyone, but he didn't do so. Instead, he put the golden tray containing the sacrificial meat aside and waited quietly.
The others didn't urge him when they saw this, and the atmosphere suddenly changed from solemn and reverent to silent and terrifying.
But after waiting for a while, nothing happened.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
"Haha, continue the music, continue the music, let the banquet begin!"
Yu Feiyi chuckled twice and walked to the main seat, beckoning Qian Er to sit down on his right hand side.
Attendants brought up food and drink like a flowing stream. Everyone sat at their own tables, eating their own food. Some people who were not well-informed were still excitedly shedding tears of joy for eating the Light King's banquet. Some people who were well-informed or had keen senses were not so happy. Each one of them looked around with tense minds.
After all, they were in front of the throne. They couldn't release their Spirit Beasts, or what would happen if they startled the king? Besides, this was the only Holy-type True King. If you release your Spirit Beast at this time, who can tell whether you are protecting yourself or trying to assassinate the king? At that time, you wouldn't be able to explain it even with a hundred mouths.
"How is it? Is this sacrificial meat delicious?"
But Qian Er didn't think so much. The Bloodforged Saint transformed his body into extremely fine threads through blood and flesh control, floating in the air. In order to prevent being too conspicuous, he even expanded the range to cover Yu Feiyi's entire fief.
And Qian Er also smiled and leaned next to Yu Feiyi to ask.
He was very curious. After all, it was a banquet item representing the imperial power's enfeoffment of princes. He was especially curious about what the sacrificial meat tasted like.
Hearing this, Yu Feiyi retracted his dull gaze from looking at the sky and turned to look at Qian Er.
"You...just like this..."
He opened his mouth, pointing to the sky without showing any emotion.
As a Holy-type, which was naturally opposed to the Dark-type, and also a Holy-type True King, he keenly sensed the terrifying blood energy that was like a substance covering the sky.
He glanced at Qian Er with a complicated expression, and found that no matter how he thought about it, he had underestimated the speed of his little friend's progress. Now he felt that even if he broke through to True King, he probably wouldn't be able to beat Qian Er in a head-on battle. This control ability was too scary.
He had seen Bloodforged Saints, which were only more than two meters tall. And now, to expand this more than two-meter-tall body to be able to cover a province, and still maintain its shape, the things it represented were too scary. Whether it was control ability or strength intensity, they were all outrageously extreme.
For example, most Spirit Beasts, without special training, could only exert at most five or six tenths of their strength. Those below Quasi-King who had not noticed the existence of shackles were even lower. After special training, being able to exert eight tenths of their strength was already the limit. Being able to exert all of their strength was an incredible powerhouse.
And the Bloodforged Saint's control over itself, he believed that it could exert twelve tenths of its strength.
Suppressing his trembling hand, he cut a piece of sacrificial meat with a knife and put it in his mouth to chew carefully. Then, without changing his expression, he cut a piece and put it on Qian Er's plate.
"Here, try it."
"Huh? Isn't this bad? This is your sacrificial meat."
Qian Er said hesitantly, this was not in accordance with etiquette, right?
"Haha, what's wrong with that? Anyway, your coronation banquet will begin in a while. When the time comes, you can just give me a piece of your sacrificial meat."
Yu Feiyi dispelled Qian Er's concerns with a chuckle. He picked up his chopsticks and put the piece of sacrificial meat in his mouth.
In an instant, the raw, cold, and greasy taste almost made Qian Er vomit it out directly.
The method of making sacrificial meat was very simple. It was just a piece of meat boiled in water, without salt or spices, until cooked. And this thing was boiled in the capital, and when it was brought over, the oil on the meat had solidified. Chewing it in the mouth was like chewing a piece of pig lard.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing Qian Er wanting to vomit, but forcibly swallowing it, Yu Feiyi was amused and laughed loudly. Then, without changing his expression, he cut off a large piece of sacrificial meat and stuffed it directly into his mouth, not daring to chew it carefully. After chewing it simply twice, he swallowed it into his stomach.
Soon, a large piece of sacrificial meat had all entered Yu Feiyi's stomach.
After eating, he also gagged twice, and quickly grabbed the hot tea next to him and poured it into his mouth. Only then did he feel the greasy, solidified feeling in his mouth gradually dissolve.
"You can actually eat it all."
Qian Er looked at Yu Feiyi with a look of astonishment.
"Hehe, when you are crowned next time, you will be able to eat it all too."
Just as the two were chatting, the blood-red cloud in the sky suddenly produced a change, and fed back to Qian Er.
Qian Er, who was joking with Yu Feiyi, was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up and kicked the table in front of him, making a loud noise.
The music and the clinking of glasses at the banquet came to an abrupt stop, and everyone stared blankly at Qian Er.
Yu Feiyi next to him reacted half a beat slower than Qian Er, but after seeing Qian Er's actions, he immediately reacted, and immediately stood up, the icy Holy Pegasus appearing behind him.
"Southeast! The enemy is coming from the southeast! West, north, and east, the enemy is coming from these four directions!"
Qian Er quickly spoke out what the Bloodforged Saint had seen. For a time, all the people who had been prepared at the banquet released their Spirit Beasts and rushed in an orderly manner towards the direction warned by Qian Er.
Some people who didn't know what had happened held chopsticks in their hands, staring blankly at the gradually receding dishes and the people next to them who suddenly stood up fully armed. Their brains didn't react for a while.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I going to do?
