Wudang: Legends Of Qi Earth 125 Birthday Banquet V : Invitation, Gif

The princess was sight to behold and so was Anya, Alex on the other hand didn't have face that could cause kingdoms to fall, what he had however was the audacity to bring a wolf into the banquet hall of the emperor, and for that reason alone he had all eyes on him. The princess made her way to her own circle of friends, Alex gave a smooth bow and made his way to his mother and grandmother, Anya and Xiao Mei followed, and after a quick greeting they found a corner of the banquet hall to sit and watched the festivities.

The hall was beautiful, it's decoration were golden themed as was expected of an Imperial celebration, but in all honesty Alex felt a little sickened by it. There were too many lies woven into the splendor and glamor of this place, but this was what it meant to be in the royal court, it was a veritable nest of snakes and scorpions each one more poisonous than the next. As they say waiting for the arrival of the emperor, a servant walked towards their table, he was dressed differently and he had an air of pride about him, Alex leaned back on his seat as Anya whispered something into his ears making him laugh, while he kept a wary eye on the approaching servant.

"I bid you all a good evening, and a gracious one to you lady Anya. Please if you would be so inclined, my master has requested your presence and it would delight him greatly if you were held comply." They were all taken aback, Khan who was lying on the ground raised his head up to look at the servant a rather mischievous glint in his eyes.

All eyes seemed to be on them, in one way or the other, this banquet seemed to be an arena for the younger generation to showcase their skills in subterfuge and politics.

"And who the f.u.c.k is your master?" a voice asked, however none of the people sitting in front of the servant had opened their mouth, so he couldn't tell who could be so cra.s.s.

"My master is the second prince of the heaven empire, the world's most handsome man His royal Highness prince Lu Mang!" There was so much ego dripping from the servant's words that Alex almost felt sick, he raised an eyebrow, but still didn't say anything, none of them did, Khan was still having his fun.

"Oh! If he's the most beautiful man in the world then do you reckon he'll taste good master, should we go eat him? We can have his servant to desert too." Alex gave a small smirk as he placed a hand over Anya's shoulder and pulled her closer, she didn't resist, and if not for the fact she had a skin as brown as the richest earth, Anya would probably be blushing from crown of her head to the soles of her feet. Alex turned his head forcing the servant to follow as he discovered who had been given him answers since he came here.

"The prince is probably multiple realms stronger than us, plus isn't he supposed to be family now, we can't eat him, his servant on the other hand seems like fair game, I'm sure the prince wouldn't mind if you are a leg and an arm...…maybe an egg or both, all males in the palace as supposed to be eunuchs right?" Alex said to Khan as the servant's eyes widened in shock at the thought of the ferocious looking wolf in front of him eating him.

"I'll tell the prince that Lady Anya is currently preoccupied, please excuse me." He left much more quicker than he had arrived, Alex and the others laughed amongst themselves. They really couldn't help it, the entire experience was really funny, but Alex reckoned he's probably made an enemy of the second prince, but then again he was getting married to the ninth princess, rumors were that they didn't get along.

"Do you think such a course of action was wise little brother, the prince is not just the most handsome man in the world, he's also quite powerful with a lot of powerful friends." Xiao Mei said to her brother with a worried look.

"The Zhang family does not even cowl before the emperor, his tenth and youngest child is not fit to carry your shoes big sister, don't worry about it and let him play his games, no one is laying a hand on Anya this night, I'll kill them first!"

"Wow so fierce, you're so young but you're so in love! So cute!" Alex couldn't help but shudder as he turned to look at Louis, they all did. The young man had actually squealed like a girl at the end of his words and it freaked them all out.

"What! I like romance okay! (Mumbles) it's nice you know(sniff)."

It was in that moment the emperor was announced, the entire hall sudden went silent as the supreme ruler of the empire of heaven walked in. As usual he was glad in a golden suit, but this time the s.h.i.t he had on had a tail coat and was quite formal, the Empress, and the three Imperial concubines behind him followed behind, ach wearing dresses of the deeper shades of red, looking exquisite and all so eye catching that the vigor and l.u.s.t of more than half the men within the hall was stored.

These were some of the most beautiful women in the world, and the fact that none of them were native to earth made it all the more obvious how wanted they all were. But they belonged to the emperor, except for the empress, who was of the royal family of the empire of Albion and the mother of the ninth princess, the other women of the emperor could and would be considered and exotic foreigners, especially in the case of the second Prince's mother. She was an elf, and had a beauty and body shape that was unmatched by any other woman. She has even been called the epitome of perfection, and as such it came as no surprise to many that her son was the most beautiful man alive.

A customary how was given to the emperor, and it was held until he was sitter on his throne, his eyes surveying everyone and everything. This was a celebration, but he had such an imposing sure on him that was unmatched by anything or anyone present, it wasn't his cultivation base that caused such pressure, but rather the idea of who and what he was, a freaking Emperor. Every movement made and taken spoke volumes of the amount of power he held, Alex wouldn't openly admit this to anyone, but he was extremely envious of it.

"Everyone! We're very glad that you've all decided to brace us with your presence and this glorious and auspicious day. Our very long life has been made meaningful by your service and loyalty to the throne, to me and we will not take it for granted. Now come! Present your gifts! And let the younger generation display their extreme talents! Because while we grow older we still see clearly, and we know that our children are our future! Enjoy yourselves!"

The speech was a little bit more brief than was expected, but then again there was no need for the emperor to give a very long speech on his own birthday, it would be somewhat exhausting.

Though Alex got the feeling the Emperor like to hear himself talk, he was only brief because he wanted to go deeper into the action that this night will bring, like it was some sort of game. Alex watched as gifts were given to the emperor, even he had to prepare a gift at the behest of his grandfather, and it was something Alex really wished he didn't have to give.

Alex, His sister and Anya walked up to the emperor with a box in Alex's hand, honestly given what he knew about the emperor he would rather prefer to not have any collaboration with him, but it was not as if he had much of a choice in the matter. Alex bowed as a servant raised the lid of the box, and nearly golden into it was a coat made of glimmering Sylph scales and a bunch of other precious materials.

"Your Majesty, this gift is humble in regards to what has been offered to you, I forged this coat myself after mine and my fellow disciples rescue from the infernal Prison Dimension. It is made from Sylph wings and a new metal which I had at synthesized while in the Dimension. The metal is capable of channeling both Qi and Mana, making it this equipment a multi discipline equipment, capable of serving a cultivator or a mage and knight.

It's not had any arrays or wards inscribed into it, so it's still pretty much ordinary, however it is strong and extremely durable, possible and almost impossible for someone under the peak of the earth gate realms to cause any damage to it, and that's without Inscriptions. It gives minor control over the element of wind and can actually change the size of it's user to that of a sylph, I hope his Majesty likes this gift."

As soon as Alex finished speaking the Emperor gave a nod of his head and wild smile, that to everyone else might seem endearing, but to Alex, seemed like the look of a man toying with the lives of someone else.

"You're quite talented as a forger Childe Spirit Wind, but I want to see you in a battle! Show me your power boy! Is there anyone willing to challenge the young Master of the Zhang clan and Wudang sect, you can not be above the cultivation realm of the true Element realm, it has to be fair. He's only in the open Dantian realm, but has such great talent, I offer a million gold to whoever decided to challenge him first, and he will earn my favor."

Safe to say, five people, four boys and a girl took his offer almost immediately, setting the stage as Alex cursed softly, none of them were in the open Dantian realm, but rather the true essence realm, thankfully no true element realm of he would be screwed. This was just so bothersome but Alex had no choice.

"Now choose Childe of the Empire, who would be your opponent?" The emperor asked as he looked down at Alex from his perch on his throne. Alex took of his jacket and handed it to Anya, as he turned to the people who were all too willing to kick his a.s.s.

"No need to choose, I'll fight all of them!"
