Superpower Small Farmer Chapter 1933 - 1891: Hongmen Banquet

Facial Transformation is the act of altering a person's appearance. Naturally, the Facial Transformation Technique is not irreversible; once soone's appearance has been altered through it, they can revert to their original look using the sa technique. Otherwise, the national beauty and allure of Mo Qingge would never have chosen to use it.

The elder who transford Mo Qingge looked at her ugly visage with satisfaction and nodded. Mo Qingge, staring at the altered visage in the ancient mirror, felt goosebumps rise all over. She wished to smash this face but knew she was rely acting the part to assist the great ancestor.

At this mont, her great-grandfather, Mo Zuo'e, entered the secret chamber, accompanied by the trusted counselor Li Guang.

As Mo Zuo'e and Li Guang's gaze landed on Mo Qingge's face, they couldn't help but feel slightly nauseated. If they hadn't known beforehand, they would never have believed this was the srizing Mo Qingge.

Suppressing their discomfort by circulating their cultivation base, they released their divine sense over Mo Qingge. Seeing that they couldn't detect her original face, they exchanged satisfied glances. Then, Mo Zuo'e said to the elder, "Old Luoo, excellent work, thank you."

Old Luoo's Facial Transformation Technique was truly exquisite. Neither the naked eye nor one's divine sense could discern Mo Qingge's original appearance.

With a touch of pride and satisfaction, Old Luoo said, "I'm glad to have fulfilled the task."

He then cupped his fists towards the Great Villain Emperor and departed from the secret chamber.

The Great Villain Emperor, Mo Zuo'e, approached Mo Qingge and said, "Dear granddaughter, I apologize for your sacrifice, but it's only for tonight. Tomorrow, I will have Old Luoo restore your appearance..."

"Alright," Mo Qingge nodded.

Li Guang took a glance at Mo Qingge, then tactfully invited Mo Zuo'e to step out of the chamber, saying, "Great Emperor, there's one aspect we hadn't considered."

"Which aspect?" Mo Zuo'e's eyes flickered.

"It concerns Miss Qingge's safety," Li Guang said. "It's said that Wang Xiaoqiang has an uncontrollable lust."

"Precisely because of his lustful nature, he will fall into the trap," Mo Zuo'e assured. "Rest assured, I will keep a watchful eye on him and won't let him harm Qingge."

"When the Immortal Sealing Formation is activated, make sure to extract Miss Qingge from Wang Xiaoqiang's side, or else she will be trapped..." Li Guang's gaze turned solemn.

"Hmm..." Mo Zuo'e replied, "I will caution her."

"What if, what if Wang Xiaoqiang doesn't let Miss Qingge leave..." Li Guang expressed his concern.

Hearing this, Mo Zuo'e pondered in silence for a long mont before saying, "To avoid alerting the snake, we may have no choice but to sacrifice her."

"But..."

"Enough. For the Rivers, Mountains, and Nation, sacrificing a great-granddaughter is trivial," Mo Zuo'e gestured for Li Guang to say no more.

Seeing Mo Qingge erge, Mo Zuo'e coughed lightly, diverting the topic, "Li Guang, how are the preparations for the birthday banquet coming along?"

"Reporting to the Great Emperor, everything is ready,"

"Good, nothing can go wrong."

"Yes."

…

anwhile, as Wang Xiaoqiang and Feng Di neared Villain City, their eyes naturally turned towards the city gate.

The gate of Villain City was extrely tall, and above it was carved a fierce visage that exuded an aura of intimidation, making all who gazed upon it feel an innate fear.

Feng Di pointed at the visage and said to Wang Xiaoqiang, "Behold, that is the face of the Great Villain Emperor, which has hung there for decades without once being replaced."

Wang Xiaoqiang thought to himself, "It won't be long before that visage is replaced with mine."

The two descended and walked into Villain City. The city was vast, its walls towering, brimming with prosperity and a bustling populace.

The Great Villain Emperor's Imperial Palace was located in the western part of the city, backed against Evil Water Mountain. As the na implies, it was a treacherous mountain with perilous waters. Within the Evil Water Mountain Range ran a stream called Evil Water, where many wild beasts resided.

The Imperial Palace spanned hundreds of acres, resplendent and luxurious to the extre.

Upon entering the city, they saw many Lords of Many Counties heading reverently towards the palace. Wang Xiaoqiang and Feng Di followed the crowd into the palace.

Before entering the palace, at the main gate, identities needed verification; the county lords each had an official talisman, which had to be shown to gain entry.

After the identity verification, Wang Xiaoqiang joined the other lords, traversing several great roads within the palace, and was led directly into the Imperial Kitchen.

The Imperial Kitchen was enormously wide, resembling a grand plaza, lavishly decorated and joyously adorned. Groups of beautiful palace maids flitted about, setting wine and dishes on the tables.

Two rows of tables were aligned in parallel, with a red carpet stretching from the entrance to the Great Villain Emperor's dining table.

From the Great Villain Emperor's table to the entrance of the hall, each table's wine and dishes varied slightly,

The Great Villain Emperor's table had the most sumptuous wine and dishes, with the finest fruits; those set for the county lords were inferior,

Proximity to the Great Villain Emperor's table indicated the degree of opulence, decreasing progressively as it approached the entrance of the Imperial Kitchen, where the offerings at the two tables at the doorway were several grades inferior. The rigid hierarchy of the palace was evident.

However, even with this disparity, the food was still several grades better than that of high-end restaurants among the common folk, as the table was full of dishes made from low-level wild beast at, which not only tasted delicious but also enhanced one's cultivation base and strengthened the physical body.

To satisfy his appetite, the Great Villain Emperor would hunt in the Evil Water Mountain Range monthly, slaughtering a multitude of wild beasts, which the Imperial Chefs would turn into delectable dishes,

This ti, to lure Wang Xiaoqiang into the trap, the Great Villain Emperor went all out, slaughtering over a hundred wild beasts to prepare these dishes, displaying the feast's abundance and his hospitality.

Each table had a na marked, and the county lords only needed to find their na to take their seat accordingly.

When Wang Xiaoqiang found his na, he was startled to discover that his table was on the left-hand side of the Great Villain Emperor, the closest to him,

This position was more prestigiously placed than the right hand, which in the ancient tis of Earth Huaxia, during a banquet hosted by an emperor for civil officials, was reserved for the Pri Minister, while the left-hand position equated to that of a venerable statesman serving three reigns,

The Pri Minister stood as second only to the Emperor, with a respected status, while a three-reign statesman, an elder who could even rebuke the Emperor when in err, held a position weighted a few notches heavier than the Pri Minister's.

Finding himself assigned such a prestigious position, Wang Xiaoqiang's heart involuntarily skipped a beat, solidifying his belief that this was truly a Hongn Banquet, as the more the Great Villain Emperor exalted him, the more it hinted at a plot to destroy him through flattery.

Wang Xiaoqiang proceeded to the position, sitting down at the table with discomfort as if on pins and needles,

The lords, having taken their seats, bantered back and forth, occasionally glancing at Wang Xiaoqiang with complex expressions.

Sitting across from Wang Xiaoqiang, behind the right-hand table, was a middle-aged man with a smooth face and no beard, clad in scholarly attire, holding a feather fan and wearing a scholar's cap, clearly a civil official with not greatly advanced cultivation. This official sat down and began scrutinizing Wang Xiaoqiang, his gaze also complex.

By all account, as a newcor and a newly minted commandery prince who had founded a mighty Great County Kingdom, Wang Xiaoqiang should not have been seated in such a prestigious place; yet, sohow, he was placed there,

Despite this, there was no envy from the other lords, nor did anyone protest, indicating a strong sign that the Great Villain Emperor had intentions of exalting Wang Xiaoqiang to later bring about his downfall through overly laudatory gestures.
