The Jade Emperor and the others immediately said, “Thank you so much.”
Li Nianfan smiled. He had too many legendary stories in his mind, any one of them could be turned into a script. However, he had very few stories that could be an impressionable performance.
“Your performance will be different from the usual performance. You have to bring out your acting skills.” Li Nianfan paused. He said, “This story is The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl...”
He immediately told the story. As expected, everyone cried again.
Everyone had to present the story well.
Li Nianfan asked, “Oh, are there any objections on the ‘hairpin transforming into the galaxy’ part? Are we able to do that?”
The Empress was slightly stumped. She asked, “Objections? It’s not hard. Why would we object to it? Is there anything we need to take notice of?”
‘Alright, I see that being weak and puny limits my imagination.
‘They can transform any galaxy at will.
‘Immortals are awesome!’
Li Nianfan was super envious. He coughed softly, “No, I was just asking. Nevermind.”
The Jade Emperor stood up and said, “Mr. Li, thanks for solving our problems. It’s getting late, we won’t disturb your rest anymore. Goodbye.”
Li Nianfan also stood up. He smiled and saluted, “Safe travels.”
He paused. He smiled and said, “Oh yeah, if the plan is confirmed, let me know. I can check out how the event will be prepared and decorated. I’ll also participate.”
Li Nianfan was not surprised that the Jade Emperor and Empress would easily decide to change the end-of-the-year event. Who in their right mind would oppose the two bigshots?
The Jade Emperor immediately said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Li. We will, we will!”
They walked out of the four-part architecture. The Jade Emperor and the others naturally did not need to rest. They rushed to the Linxian Palace.
Soon, they were on top of the Linxian Palace.
The Linxian Palace at that moment was still bustling.
Music could be heard, too. A lot of disciples gathered at the field in unison. They had zithers in front of them. They worked hard to practice. The zither music was like a fresh summer breeze. It was very enjoyable.
Gu Xirou, Yao Mengji, and Qin Manyun supervised and directed them at the side. They all looked serious. They were responsible for choosing and eliminating the candidates. While they were giving directions and advice, they would also point out what was lacking.
Yao Mengji could be heard. He said with seriousness, “Be aware, this event has to be greater than a cultivator battle event! It’s a great honor for you to be able to perform for a bigshot!”
“Work hard. Ensure that nothing goes wrong when you’re on stage. Be attentive!” said Gu Xirou at the side. “This is a legendary tune given to us by the expert. This is his trust in us! We can’t let it go to waste!”
Suddenly, Qin Manyun shouted, “Change the music!”
Jam, jam!
The disciples lifted their hands at the same time. They plucked the zither strings with their fingers and the music turned serious. Tension filled the air.
Ziye flew in from afar. She smiled and greeted, “Goddess Gu, it’s so late and you’re still rehearsing.”
Gu Xirou, Yao Mengji, and Qin Manyun were startled at the same time. Then, they all flew to the air and welcomed her.
“Don’t stop, continue with your practice. I want to see your effort!” Gu Xirou scolded. Then, she greeted Ziye, “Goddess Ziye, why are you here at this hour?”
She looked at the Jade Emperor and the others. She instantly felt overwhelmed. A terrifying aura came over her and she could not breathe. It was as if she was an ordinary person meeting the King. She instantly looked horrified.
Ziye smiled and said, “Don’t panic, Goddess Gu. They’re the Jade Emperor and Empress. This is my sister. They escaped because the expert helped.”
Gu Xirou and the others panicked harder. They hurriedly bowed and said, “Greetings to the Emperor and the Empress!”
They were the Lords of the Heavenly Palace. They were in charge of all the Immortals, and they were bigshots who had a Flat Peach Garden. Although things were not like what it once was, it was still unimaginable for them.
If ordinary cultivators got on their good side, they would be instantly successful.
“No need to be so courteous,” said the Empress gently. She gracefully glanced at the band. She said, “The music of this cultivation sect is so extraordinary. The tunes are so fresh.”
Gu Xirou said, “Empress, the two songs, ‘High Mountains and Flowing Rivers’, and ‘Ambush’, were all given by the expert. We got lucky.”
“I see. No wonder.” The Jade Emperor and Empress nodded understandingly. They said, “It’s your blessing to be given something by the expert. It’s the expert’s approval and your breakthrough.”
“You’re right, Empress. We’re truly lucky.”
Goddess Gu asked carefully, “Emperor, Empress, do you want to have a seat in our sect?”
The Jade Emperor nodded. “Sure. We have business to discuss, too.”
Everyone sat in place. Gu Xirou looked agonized. She clenched her jaw and decided to bring out the most valuable treasure in the Linxian Palace.
It was...the limited fruits and tea given by the expert.
“Ha, we just got back from the expert’s place. You don’t have to do that, Goddess Gu.” The Empress immediately laughed. Then, she asked, “I heard from Zi that you guys are planning the end-of-the-year event for the expert?”
Gu Xirou nodded, “Yes, Empress!”
The Empress said, “We just got some assignments from the expert. We plan to change the end-of-the-year event, so we came here to discuss it.”
“Feel free to say so, Empress.” Gu Xirou and the others instantly sat up straight. They did not dare object to anything that relates to the expert and the Jade Emperor.
Everyone immediately started to present and discuss their opinions. They all looked serious. The aura was very tense, too. It was very strict and serious, as if they were having a meeting about a realm-changing war.
Finally, the Empress concluded, “Firstly, the previous end-of-the-year event was too low class. Most performers were ordinary cultivators. It isn’t enough, and we have to improve it. I’ll be handling that. Secondly, the final performance will be a performance from the Heavenly Palace. The performance has to be well-planned. Thirdly, the location. The expert suggests we do it in the Immortal Realm.”
“The location part was neglected on our side.”
Yao Mengji sighed. He suddenly started to reflect. “The expert lives as an ordinary man. The end-of-the-year event originated from Humans, too. We should’ve held it in the Immortal Realm. It was truly a bad choice on our part!”
Gu Xirou asked, “Mengji, where do you think we should have the event?”
Yao Mengji replied, “Naturally somewhere with Immortals. I think we can choose somewhere near the Fallen Town, but not at the Fallen Immortal Mountain because that’s the expert’s peaceful home. We can’t allow anything to go wrong there.”
Ziye nodded and said, “It’s a nice suggestion, and it shouldn’t be hard for people like us to create a performance space near the Fallen Town. What do you think, Emperor?”
The Jade Emperor nodded and smiled, “Yes. And the expert said that he wanted to participate in the event decorations. Setting it nearby would be convenient for the expert.”
“The expert wants to participate in the event decorations?” Gu Xirou was pleasantly surprised. She hurriedly said, “We have to prepare it well then! It’d be best if we can see some results by tomorrow!”
“So, we confirmed our initial planning. We shall see what the expert has to say in the future.” The Empress smiled and said, “We won’t be delaying you. We’ll contact the others and create a variety of performances.”
“Farewell, Emperor, Empress.”
They left the Linxian Palace. The Jade Emperor and the others headed straight to the Eastern Sea.
“What? An end-of-the-year event for the expert?!”
Ao Cheng widened his eyes and jumped up from his throne. “Such a big event. Why didn’t you tell me sooner? You have to count me in. My sea creatures are ordinary except when it comes to performing. We’re born naturals.”
“Tortoise Chancellor, Tortoise Chancellor!” Ao Cheng could not wait to start planning. “Spread my orders. Gather for an emergency sea meeting. Clam Demons, Mermaids, and Snake Demons should all be candidates for singing and dance performances!”
Ao Yun glared from the side. He had to sigh.
‘My Western Sea Dragons are gone. Otherwise, I would’ve planned a good performance for the expert, too.’
Then, the Jade Emperor and the Empress visited the trusty Human Sovereign.
At that time, Zhou Yunwu and Meng Junliang were discussing the end-of-the-year event. They were choosing and eliminating various performances. At the same time, they were thinking of how to invite the expert to attend the event.
They suddenly received the news and immediately scrapped their initial plan. They passionately joined in.
...
That night was fated to be a non-peaceful night.
Big Lord Demon was kneeling somewhere facing a dark hole.
He had injuries all over. Even his face was slightly disfigured. He cried, “I don’t mean to disturb you, Lord Demon God. However... Lord Demon’s dead. The Kirins were boastful, they dared to attack us! The realm’s changing, and the Demons are in danger. Please, give us some advice, Lord Demon God.”
The Demons quietly waited for a response.
However... It was silent.
“The Lord Demon God’s an expert sleeper. We called several times but there are no signs of him waking up.”
Big Lord Demon sighed. He stood up and said, “Let’s go. We failed again. The Lord Demon God’s still in his slumber.”
Suddenly, a Demon disciple rushed in. “Big Lord Demon, there are Asura people outside that came to visit.”
Big Lord Demon raised his eyebrow. “Bring them to the lobby.”
Soon, he arrived at the lobby. A lady in a red dress stood at the center. She smiled as she looked at Big Lord Demon. She said, “The Lord Demon’s dead. Big Lord Demon is now the leader of the Demons. Congratulations.”
Big Lord Demon looked defensive. He said coldly, “No need! You came from the Bloody Sea, what do you need?”
The lady in the red dress moved closer and wrapped her thin arms around Big Lord Demon. She said seductively, “Please, Big Lord Demon... Borrow us your spear!”
