Chapter 137 Don't underestimate the importance of trivial matters.
Purple Pearl chuckled as she looked at the two of them, then grabbed a roast chicken from the table and started eating. Pirates, after all, are all about being wild!
With a bite of meat in her left hand and a sip of wine in her right, her demeanor was wild and unrestrained. She even shamelessly smeared the grease from her hands all over her body.
These scenes made Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi frown. They, who had been raised by nobles since childhood, simply could not tolerate Zi Zhenzhu's behavior.
"So rude, so ill-mannered!"
Emperor Xueye was already unwilling to sit at the same table as Zizhenzhu, and now he was even more disgusted.
Purple Pearl retorted directly, "Aren't you tired of putting on airs all the time? I'm annoyed by people like you, so pretentious!"
"This country bumpkin is utterly unreasonable!"
Emperor Xueye said irritably.
Purple Pearl said, "Hello, if you're so capable, go ahead and say it in front of the High Priest of Seagod Island!"
"Look, they're here!"
While the group was talking, Sendou Ryu and Poseidon, dressed in red, walked up to the crowd and began the ceremony.
"You're saying that the High Priest of Seagod Island and the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall got married? Does that mean Seagod Island and the Spirit Hall are now united?"
"Purple Pearl suddenly said."
Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi, who already disliked the Purple Pearl, were now even more heartbroken...
Emperor Xueye was always thinking about revenge, and the stronger the Spirit Hall became, the more desperate he became!
Although Ning Fengzhi didn't have that many thoughts, seeing the Spirit Hall growing stronger and stronger, he began to feel a sense of respect and distance...
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is one of the three upper sects and the richest sect on the continent. He definitely wouldn't want to submit to the Spirit Hall!
Ning Fengzhi was afraid that once he joined the Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji would make him and his disciples carry the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda alongside the imperial carriage, after all, the example of Yu Yuanzhen and others from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was there for all to see!
Moreover, by cooperating with the Heavenly Dou Empire, he at least has enough say in the matter...
"If that's the case, doesn't that mean both land and sea are under the jurisdiction of the Spirit Hall?"
As Zi Zhenzhu continued speaking, she inadvertently stabbed Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi in the back again.
"Shut up! Even food can't shut you up!"
Ning Fengzhi said irritably.
Purple Pearl rolled her eyes, ignored the two of them, and began to eat heartily. Not a single dish on the table was left untouched!
Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi picked up their chopsticks but didn't know where to start, so they silently put them down...
After the ceremony, Sendou Ryu brought Poseidon over to offer a toast, and the three of them quickly stood up.
"How is it? Are the food and drinks to your liking?"
Qian Daoliu asked.
Emperor Xueye immediately said, "Mmm, it's delicious!"
"What's so delicious about it! They haven't touched a single bite!"
Purple Pearl said directly.
"I ate all of these, they were so delicious!"
Upon hearing Purple Pearl's words, Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi's faces immediately darkened. Their polite words had been exposed on the spot by this ill-mannered Purple Pearl.
Poseidon looked at the two of them and understood why they hadn't touched their chopsticks. She then picked up her wine and said to Purple Pearl, "Purple Pearl, you must be tired from your journey."
"High Priest, it's not hard work for me!"
Purple Pearl was flattered and surprised.
In the past, she wouldn't even have had the chance to see Poseidon, let alone offer her a toast!
"The seven Holy Pillars miss you very much and asked me to convey their greetings!"
After Zi Zhenzhu finished speaking, she picked up the wine jar and started drinking, looking quite heroic!
Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi exchanged a glance, then immediately picked up their wine glasses. "We toast you, wishing you..."
Before they could finish speaking, Poseidon and the others turned and left, showing no respect to Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi. This scene was witnessed by everyone present!
Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi's hands, which were holding wine glasses, froze in mid-air. They looked embarrassed and didn't know what to do for a moment!
"Sit down! Everyone's gone, what are you still holding up your glass for?"
"Purple Pearl spoke up."
Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi exchanged a glance and immediately got up to go forward and explain, but Yue Guan stopped them.
"Gentlemen, please sit down and have some drinks."
Yue Guan spoke up.
Ning Fengzhi said, "Elder Yueguan, Lord Poseidon has some misunderstandings with us. We should go and explain!"
"There's no misunderstanding, you two don't need to do this!" Yue Guan said directly.
Emperor Xueye was also getting anxious. He had offended the Spirit Hall, and even ten Heaven Dou Empires wouldn't be enough to defeat them!
"Elder Yueguan, please don't joke around..."
Yue Guan said coldly, "You two were joking first!"
"What do you mean?" Ning Fengzhi asked, puzzled.
Yue Guan sneered: "Are you two really unaware, or are you pretending not to know?"
"When Purple Pearl arrived, she already introduced herself as representing Seagod Island. I had previously reminded you that Purple Pearl represents her family."
"Therefore, regardless of whether Purple Pearl is a pirate or someone else, today, right now, she belongs to Seagod Island!"
"The fact that you two despise the Purple Pearl and don't take it seriously shows a lack of respect for Seagod Island!"
"Now, my Spirit Hall's Grand Elder, the Pope's father, and the former Pope, Qian Daoliu, has married Poseidon, the High Priestess of Seagod Island, and looks down on Seagod Island. It seems that neither of them takes my Spirit Hall seriously!"
"You two... take care of yourselves!"
Yue Guan politely cupped his hands in greeting and left without giving Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi a chance to speak.
Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi exchanged a glance and sat back down in their seats, feeling utterly helpless. They weren't too afraid of Seagod Island, otherwise they wouldn't have been so disrespectful to Purple Pearl.
Although Poseidon Island is powerful, they cannot leave it. Even if the Sea Soul Masters who worship the Sea God have some complaints, their combat strength on land has been greatly reduced, so they are not a threat.
What they're really worried about is the Spirit Hall!
Purple Pearl looked at Ning Fengzhi and the other person with a mocking smile, "Don't underestimate the power of a trivial matter..."
Surprisingly, Ning Fengzhi and the other woman did not get angry at her sarcasm. Instead, they poured themselves a glass of wine and smiled broadly as they drank with Zi Zhenzhu.
"Miss Zi, we were impolite and neglected you just now. Please forgive us!"
Emperor Xueye finished his drink in one gulp.
Ning Fengzhi quickly replied, "Please forgive me, young lady!"
Purple Pearl looked at the two of them, poured the wine in her cup onto the ground, and casually said, "Are you toasting me, or are you toasting Seagod Island and the Spirit Hall?"
"Of course we respect you. Look at you, so carefree and elegant... um..."
Ning Fengzhi racked his brains to think of nice things to say, but Zi Zhenzhu remained unmoved.
Purple Pearl said, "Alright, enough of this nonsense!"
"If you're toasting me, it's definitely not out of sincerity. After all, I'm a pirate! I don't drink with hypocrites!"
"If you respect Seagod Island and Spirit Hall, then you shouldn't respect me even more. I don't represent these two major forces, otherwise you wouldn't have looked down on me before!"
