Chapter 3878 Two VIPs upstairs!
Chapter 3878 Upstairs... Two distinguished guests!
Most of those who came were from the Mythological Side, one of the four sides of the Void.
You wouldn't believe it until you see it; the immortal powerhouses that were usually hard to find in the void were now appearing as if they were being sold in bulk.
Even the [Radiant Moon] level immortals could only sit in the hall on the first floor... Therefore, apart from that Titan giant who was somewhat irritable by nature, most of the immortals participating in tonight's banquet were quite restrained.
After all, this place... is a place where magic is forbidden, right?
A powerful Void Immortal cannot act like a street thug and engage in petty brawls!
Besides, this is a [shop]'s territory. To cause trouble here is to disrespect the [shop]... Aren't you afraid of being kicked out by the [shop]'s people?
If this gets out, how will I ever have the face to show my face in the Void Martial World again!
The martial arts world isn't just about fighting and killing; it also involves human relationships and social interactions... This applies just as well in the vast void.
"Judging from this invitation, it seems to be just a small auction, yet it has managed to attract so many immortals to participate... I wonder what a grand spectacle it would be when a large-scale auction is held!"
"The shop has existed since time immemorial, yet even the Secret Society cannot trace its origins... Although it's just a small auction, it's sure to have a lot of good stuff."
"Hmph... All those self-righteous, arrogant fools. Well, they're all here now... If they hadn't done business with the [shop] before and were regular customers, would they have even been invited? Ugh!"
"Shh... I heard that the shop seems to have a new manager?"
"Details?!"
……
When [Ziwei Emperor] and [Zhenwu] were led into the banquet hall by Miss 0081, they heard a lot of whispered discussions.
"Our seats are on the second floor?" [Emperor Ziwei] looked at the sweet-smiling Miss 0081 with some surprise.
“Yes,” 0081 said. “Because the boss regards you as a representative of the Heavenly Court, he has given you the highest level of hospitality… Currently, only Lord Raguel from the Heavenly Kingdom has arrived at the VIP room on the second floor.”
"Oh... [Raguel]?"
[Emperor Ziwei] nodded slightly.
How should I put it... I naturally felt incredibly honored—this was the first time since arriving at this hotel that [Emperor Ziwei] had experienced what VIP treatment truly meant!
As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. This belated feeling of being superior to others truly left this one of the Four Emperors of the Heavenly Court and Heavenly Kingdom with mixed feelings.
Thinking back to the first time he entered this hotel, he was in a sorry state and was even looked down upon and "harassed" by two receptionists. The Emperor was truly moved to tears.
"Distinguished guest, please come upstairs."
Miss 0081's clear and loud voice immediately attracted a lot of attention—she was absolutely top-notch in providing emotional value!
—Hotel staff code of conduct: Try your best to satisfy customers' vanity...
Instantly, the beautiful young lady standing guard at the stairwell took out a walkie-talkie, her voice full of emotion, "Two distinguished guests upstairs, please prepare to welcome them!"
"Please lead the way."
The Purple Emperor nodded with a smile, but something about what he said seemed off...
……
"...Isn't that Ziwei, one of the Four Emperors of the Heavenly Court?"
"Even a big shot like him has come? Looks like this auction is really something..."
"The one next to the Emperor looks like the True Martial Emperor..."
"That god of death has actually come too... He can't see me!"
Pairs of eyes, some filled with awe and others with indifference, were cast towards [Emperor Ziwei] and [True Martial]... The Emperor, of course, remained calm and composed throughout.
As he passed a certain table, the [Emperor Ziwei] suddenly stopped and glanced at it with his majestic gaze.
This was none other than the location of the gods of Asgard... Under the gaze of the legendary Four Emperors of the Heavenly Court, the gods all became reserved.
If Lord Raguel is like the prime minister of an empire to the gods, then the one before us is no less than the royal family of another powerful empire!
Even in this banquet hall, where everyone is the same, the true aura of a Void Realm expert can still make people feel suffocated.
"Oh... isn't this Lord Odin? So you're here too." A handsome smile appeared on the face of Emperor Ziwei.
The god-king Odin, who was called out, quickly stood up and solemnly returned the greeting of the Asgardian gods, "Greetings, Your Majesty... I once witnessed Your Majesty's power from afar at the Third Node, and I still can't forget your magnificence that day!"
“I remember there was a primordial Void Artifact that was created back then…” Emperor Ziwei nodded slightly: “Hmm, I have a vague impression. Lord Odin was indeed there at the time. Alas, it’s a pity that the battle was so intense that I couldn’t find the time to have a long chat with Lord Odin. It was truly impolite of me.”
Odin, the God-King, twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth... but there was nothing he could do. Putting aside the strength between individuals, the Heavenly Court and the Heavenly Palace were an unattainable behemoth to the realm of Asgard.
This identity and the power behind it brought an overwhelming crushing force.
"Hehe... It's good that we didn't cause any trouble for the Emperor back then." God-King [Odin] chuckled slightly.
Shameless!
The customers at nearby tables cursed inwardly... but if they could cultivate a relationship with this [Emperor Ziwei], they would be willing to be his dogs!
The Emperor Ziwei felt a surge of joy in his heart!
"Lord Odin, why don't you come upstairs with me for a chat?" Emperor Ziwei suddenly said, his gaze shifting slightly... He didn't even wait for the God-King Odin to agree before immediately looking at Miss 0081 beside him and saying, "I would like to invite this lord upstairs. Is that alright?"
"Of course!" Miss 0081 smiled even more docilely. "You are a valued customer of our store, and we will do our best to meet your requests."
—This is the feeling, it's just right, it's exactly right!
—This is exactly the kind of style the Four Heavenly Emperors of the Celestial Court should have when they travel!
Odin, the God-King, was secretly delighted. He couldn't wait for this emperor to talk to him a little more... after all, there really were people in the Heavenly Court at the fourth node!
"How could I, a lowly god, refuse the Emperor's invitation?" God-King Odin replied in a deep voice. He then glanced at the assembled sons of the gods and the legion generals and said indifferently, "You all stay here and remember not to cause trouble."
"Yes, Father God/Lord God!"
Then the god-king Odin got into the carriage of the Purple Emperor... but he dared not walk alongside him, and instead followed slowly behind.
Miss 0081 was still leading the way beside [Emperor Ziwei].
"VIP." Miss 0081 suddenly leaned closer and whispered, "Adding a guest to the VIP room will incur a charge on your account, is that alright?"
The smiling face of Emperor Ziwei froze slightly.
—No, you guys...are you just waiting here?!
Why didn't you say so earlier? Where were you?
Miss 0081 looked at her apologetically, "I'm so sorry, but the number of guests in the VIP rooms is arranged in advance, and they are all top-tier guests. Adding one more person at the last minute... it's very difficult for us! It wouldn't matter if it were the main hall..."
"It doesn't matter."
Now that things have come to this, he can't very well just kick Odin back... Anyway, ever since he moved into this godforsaken place, it's like even breathing costs money!
Soon, the Emperor and his entourage ascended to the second floor of the banquet hall amidst much attention.
Zhenwu glanced around and found that there weren't many VIP rooms here. Currently, there was only one place occupied... which was obviously the room where Raguel was.
"Your Majesty, shouldn't we pay a visit?"
Emperor Ziwei shook his head slightly, “The relationship between Heaven and the Heavenly Court is tense. Although this is an informal meeting, it’s best to avoid it if possible. We can meet again at the formal auction.”
—Besides, my arrival has already caused a sensation. [Raguel], who arrived earlier, must have heard the commotion... Since it hasn't come out, why should I personally pay a visit?
—Aren't we all about the same level of fame...?
"Hmm." [Zhenwu] nodded, then pointed to a large room and asked curiously, "Who is that room prepared for?"
Clearly, the VIPs on the second floor can indeed gain a great deal of emotional value—a question that guests on the first floor cannot answer, but those on the second floor can.
“That was originally prepared for the VIPs of [Void Spirit Mountain],” Miss 0081 replied softly.
The god-king Odin's gaze narrowed slightly.
Good heavens... They've invited the three giants: Heaven, the Celestial Court, and Mount Ling!
"Originally?" Emperor Ziwei frowned slightly. "Why is that?"
Miss 0081 said, "After confirmation, the distinguished guest from [Void Spirit Mountain] will not be attending this auction... Distinguished guest, let's go to the room, the banquet is about to begin."
The Purple Emperor nodded calmly, but in his heart he was pondering why the Void Spirit Mountain had not arrived—indeed, it was related to the Journey to the West project at the auction?

Before the hotel's Lantern Festival banquet officially began, Hathaway, the manager who was to host the banquet, was not actually in the hotel.
Hathaway appeared in the [If Pavilion]—but she arrived quietly.
The maid also excused herself to go to the restroom to touch up her makeup and temporarily left... The two met on the terrace on the upper floor of the [If Pavilion].
“Miss, this is the list of guests who have arrived so far.” Hathaway handed over a document. “The next page is the list of absent guests.”
The maid glanced at the invitations briefly and said, "Yes, most of the invitations that were sent out have been received."
“Yes.” Hathaway nodded. “Except for a few who are exploring the primordial nodes and cannot leave, almost everyone has arrived.”
In fact, most of those invited this time were Immortals from the Mythical side... and they had already undergone preliminary selection to ensure that these customers would be interested in the [item] at the auction.
The maid left Mr. Luo's side for a few days to do this.
"Didn't [Void Spirit Mountain] come?" the maid asked casually, seemingly unsurprised.
“We’ve already replied; they won’t be sending anyone to the auction,” Hathaway quickly said.
The maid closed the file, thought for a moment, and said, "Did you say anything?"
"The reply from over there was rather forceful," Hathaway said carefully. "The gist of it is that the master can hold an auction, and [Lingshan] has no right to interfere... but this involves part of [Lingshan]'s foundation, isn't that a bit... excessive?"
The maid said calmly, "Since you know you have no right to interfere, why talk about whether it's excessive or not? We've already given them the chance; if they don't come, we won't interfere either."
"This... if [Void Spirit Mountain] doesn't attend, will it affect Mr. Wen's project?" Hathaway asked after thinking for a moment.
The maid glanced at Hathaway expressionlessly.
Hathaway's heart skipped a beat, realizing she had asked too much without thinking. "I'm sorry, Miss, it was my rudeness."
"It's alright," the maid said calmly. "You're also one of the people handling this auction, so you can certainly inquire about it."
Hathaway didn't dare to look up.
The maid thought for a moment and said, "Since [Lingshan] isn't coming, their attitude has already been made clear... Actually, this is for the best. After all, without 'confrontation,' the difficulty of this [Journey to the West] wouldn't be apparent, and that would be less interesting."
"It seems everything is going according to Miss's plan." Hathaway instantly delivered a wave of emotional value.
"Go and properly entertain tonight's guests." The maid waved her hand. "Whatever needs to be said can wait until after tonight... Don't bother the master again."
“Yes…” Hathaway nodded gently.
—No, I didn't dare disturb the master, I just came to find you…
……
Touching up her makeup didn't take much time, and the maid quickly reappeared in everyone's sight before returning to Luo Qiu's side.
The maid gathered her skirt with both hands, sat back down next to Luo Qiu, and leaned close to his cheek... just like a gentle kiss.
"It's Hathaway. The banquet over there can begin," the maid said softly. "However, [Void Spirit Mountain] will be absent."
Luo Qiu… Boss Luo didn’t speak, but just nodded slightly, his gaze remaining fixed on everyone the whole time.
At this moment, Mr. Ma had his arm around Ye Yan's shoulder, and the two old buddies were performing an old classic song called "Friends"... probably one of the most beloved songs among the old folks.
Once the music stopped, Boss Luo calmly said, "Tell Mr. Wen to speed up the preparations."
"Okay." The maid nodded. "It should be almost done. Mr. Wen is very efficient."
Boss Luo smiled slightly... He had created quite a few Black Souls, and Wen Duo was probably one of the few people who could be trusted to get things done.
at this time.
Ziling's mother was clearly somewhat drunk, and at this moment she was holding Madam Ma's neck, and the two of them sang a song called "Knowing the Cold and Warmth" together.
—【The grass there longs to grow】
—【The flowers here are already red】
—【Though I pass by the ends of the earth, I still think of you】
—【There's still a light on in the house】
……
— [The child is growing up day by day]
—【Life is woven together inch by inch】
——【Nothing comes easily】
—【All journeys are made through wind and rain】
……
—【When will the bright moon appear?】
—【I said, let's spend the rest of our lives together】
"Sister, don't cry!"
"I just want to cry!"
Ziling's mother rubbed her eyes... she couldn't rub them anymore, so she collapsed onto Madam Ma's granary. "I don't care, you all have to come next year, or I'll put it in the newspaper, I'll put up missing person notices! Let me tell you, I'm a super influencer with millions of followers now, I'm very influential!"
He's drunk and acting crazy.
Pear paused, her little nose tingling slightly... She subconsciously touched the teardrop pendant in her arms—Sister, even if you chase me away, I won't leave!
—You've got such good food and lodging…
