The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 414: Eat Your Own Table

After leaving the dungeon, Li felt much more relaxed.

Originally, after returning to his hometown from the royal capital, Li wanted to give himself a long vacation to relax his tense heart.

"I need a long vacation now!"

Li returned home, threw himself on the bed, closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep.

But before he could lie down for three seconds, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Li raised his neck, bent it ninety degrees and looked towards the door.

"Oh! Xiaoli, didn't I say I wanted to take a nap?"

Xiaoli felt very embarrassed to interrupt the young master's rest time, but she came to call Li because she had important business to do.

"Master! I'm afraid there's no time for you to rest. Madam asked me to ask you to attend the banquet."

"Banquet? What party? Can't I not go?"

Li, who was feeling sleepy, stood up with bulging eyes and put on his clothes reluctantly.

Xiaoli kept helping Li hold up his clothes, and after she cleaned him up, she pulled the half-dazed Li out.

After walking out of the house, Li discovered that the streets were very lively.

There were street performers performing on the roadside and soldiers in red overalls throwing candy into the crowd.

Such a lively scene dispelled the sleepiness that was lingering on Li. Li perked up and joined the cheerful crowd.

Xiaoli and Li walked towards the castle while accepting congratulations from passers-by.

"congratulations!"

"Joy and rejoice together!"

Li stuffed a piece of candy wrapped in rice paper into his mouth and asked Xiaoli vaguely.

"Xiao Li, is today an important festival? As I recall, Women's Day is next month, right?"

Goddess Festival is a variation of the Harvest Festival. The Harvest Festival is a day to celebrate after the wheat harvest, while Goddess Festival is a festival on the eve of the Harvest Festival when the plump wheat is still growing in the fields.

To put it bluntly, celebrating two festivals in a row is just an excuse for humans to have fun in the streets.

"Master, today is not a holiday, but it is an important day for the big shots~"

Li was still wondering which big shot could be so popular and organize an event that could attract people from the entire city.

While thinking about this unimportant question, Li walked into the castle at Windmill River Bay.

This castle of the Dalai family still retains a huge banquet hall.

Today, the City Hall is closed for a day, and all staff, including wealthy businessmen and nobles from outside, gathered in this banquet hall.

When Li walked into the banquet hall on the red carpet, the banquet hall was already half full of people.

People are shoulder to shoulder, and the density of people is no less than that of subways and buses during rush hour on Earth.

Li was in the crowd, watching a beautifully dressed lady having her support squeezed out of her body.

Li Shun took the wine glass from the servant's hand and gave this hypocritical lady a bad review.

"It turned out to be fake. What a waste of feelings."

Xiaoli followed Li's gaze and immediately knew what he was paying attention to.

The small hand climbed up Li's waist and twisted it hard.

No one knew what was wrong with Xiaoli today, her hands were surprisingly strong. Li had to give up the idea of ​​continuing to appreciate the beautiful scenery and dived into the buffet table.

The food in the banquet hall was commissioned by Caiyun Catering. Li looked at the extremely familiar dishes piled on the table, but lost interest after taking a bite.

"It's not even half as good as mine. Xiaoli, remember to inform the restaurants here to strictly control the quality of their dishes!"

Xiaoli tried a little bit of the food and found it tasted okay. She thought the young master was too picky and that was why she thought his restaurant was not doing well.

As soon as Li saw Xiaoli's eyes, he knew that she didn't understand the point of the matter.

Earth cuisine focuses on color, aroma, taste, presentation, color matching, and the maturity and cooking time of the food.

The food that seemed similar to Xiaoli was very different in Li's eyes.

"No, I have to find some time to teach the chef here! It's ok to just sell it normally, but to host a banquet for an important person and still fool around, isn't this destroying my reputation?"

Xiaoli rolled her eyes at Li, who was filled with righteous indignation, and pushed the fruit plate on the dining table next to Li.

Now, Li had no time to chatter.

To be honest, there is nothing good in this world, except the quality of fruits.

Maybe it’s because there is no environmental pollution, the fruits here are very sweet and very sour. To sum it up in one sentence, they are very delicious!

Li was struggling with the fruit platter in the corner as guests gradually arrived in the banquet hall.

The guests who had originally gathered together in a small circle no longer whispered to each other.

They looked towards the stage, waiting for today's protagonist to appear.

After much anticipation, a young woman in a gorgeous long dress appeared in everyone's sight.

She had no makeup on her face, but a faint blush dotted her cheeks.

The silver crown makes the other person hold her head high like a princess, and her confident and calm temperament is immediately brought to the maximum.

"Is that Lian?!"

Li had never seen Lian wearing a skirt. In the past, Lian always wore sportswear and posed in fighting postures like a man.

The fruit cut into triangles fell from Li's hands. Li raised his hand to wipe off the fruit pulp and saliva that overflowed from his mouth.

"Xiao Li, is today Lian's birthday?"

"No, Master. Today is Miss Lian's engagement day."

"Engagement..."

A strong sense of loss attacked Li's body, and Li suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

Lian has always been a girl that Li cares about very much, but he didn't expect that she would get engaged to someone today.

In the near future, Li will have to watch her go out with men she doesn't know.

Thinking of this, an ancient saying from Earth naturally popped into Li's mind.

The girl got married, but the groom was not me.

Seeing Li's disappointed look, Xiaoli next to him almost laughed to death.

Lian on the stage was also looking around. When her eyes swept over the dining table, she immediately revealed a reproachful expression.

"What is that idiot doing standing there? Come on stage!"

The guests turned their heads following Lian's gaze and saw Li standing in a daze in the corner of the banquet hall like a failed minion.

The crowd immediately burst into laughter, and the happy atmosphere swallowed up Li's sadness.

Xiaoli poked Li from the side.

"Master, Miss Lian is waiting for you."

"what?"

"Master, today is Miss Lian's engagement party, and it's also your engagement party, so stop being in a daze."

The sudden impact caused Li's brain to lose consciousness instantly.

Li thought of many possibilities, but he never thought that one of the protagonists of today's banquet would be himself.

Li pointed his finger at his face in disbelief.

“Xiao Li, you said I’ve been eating for a long time, but I’m eating my own food!”

"Yeah~"

"I'm the one getting engaged to Lian today!"

"Yeah~"

"Hiccup~"

Li made a "click" sound and fainted from excitement on the spot. The extreme joy and sorrow came too quickly and he really couldn't bear it.
