At this moment, the little girl, who was being held by her mother, babbled, "Big brother, fight, fight, fight the monster."
They had heard this sound before, but hadn't paid it any attention then. Now, however, it was incredibly jarring.
The younger sister's brother, Ah Chou, immediately knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and did not speak. However, his actions spoke volumes; he was apologizing and expressing his gratitude.
Immediately afterwards, Ah Chou's mother, holding her younger sister, also knelt down, her head bowed.
Afterwards, the people also knelt on the ground, just like Ah Chou, even though Nezha had not saved them.
However, which of them didn't insult Nezha? Which of them didn't throw junk, stones, or other objects at Nezha? Some of them even hit Nezha with weapons.
Taiyi Zhenren looked around with a gratified smile on his face. Of course, Lin Qing did too, and Ao Bing's face was beaming with joy.
On the contrary, Nezha stood there helplessly looking at the people kneeling on the ground, and soon tears welled up in his eyes again.
After wiping himself dry, Nezha revealed a determined smile on his face. "I, Nezha, am a hero. So what if I am a demon? I am who I am."
Lin Qing smiled slightly and slowly flew into the sky, saying, "Today is Nezha's birthday banquet, the day of Nezha's rebirth. How could there not be a banquet?"
With a wave of his hand, Nezha and the others inside the pit were all transported to the edge of the pit.
Furthermore, Lin Qing removed all the items from the Li residence, whether damaged or intact.
Lin Qing put two fingers together, pointed one at the large pit, and softly shouted, "Activate."
"Rumble rumble rumble~~!" The pit shook violently, and instantly another large pit appeared at the bottom, swallowing all the waste.
Then, the bottom began to rise slowly, and finally the entire pit was filled in, turning into a huge open space.
Under Lin Qing's control, tables, chairs, steps, and other furniture rose from the ground, and in no time, a banquet venue appeared perfectly before everyone's eyes.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Lin Qing spat out a ball of flame and threw it into the sky to use as a light source; the light was bright but not dazzling.
"Alright, everyone, take your seats and find your places. Once you're all settled, I'm going to serve the food. You're in for a treat today! Haha!" Lin Qing laughed heartily.

Seeing that the seats below were already full, Lin Qing waved his hand, and a series of gleaming plates filled with delicious dishes were brought out by Lin Qing.
When all these delicious dishes were neatly placed on the stone table in front of the people, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"Gulp!" That was the sound of swallowing saliva. These dishes, though made from ordinary ingredients, were incredibly delicious.
These were prepared by Lin Qing at Stark's request, just to satisfy their cravings. These common people were dreaming of eating dishes made from spirit beast meat and the like.
Li Jing, Taiyi, and the others sat on a high platform, which was filled with rare dishes that were not only delicious but also helpful in improving their cultivation.
As for drinks, sorry, Lin Qing wants to drink beverages himself, but there's no alcohol. As for water, Lin Qing does have some, but he's too lazy to get any.
Lin Qing slowly landed beside Ao Bing, sat down, and said to Li Jing, "Alright, the banquet can begin. Say a few words!"
A sinister laugh rang out, and Little Nezha's mouth watered: "Hehehe, more delicious food is coming! Dad, hurry up and call for the banquet to begin!"
Ever since I had that lavish meal with Lin Qing last time, I've been talking about it constantly.
Li Jing smiled and nodded in acknowledgment, then stood up and walked to the edge of the platform, saying, "Everyone, today is my son's birthday, and also his rebirth."
"I won't say much more. Happy birthday, son! Let the banquet begin!"
"Happy birthday, Nezha!" The people were also overjoyed, shouting loudly to celebrate Nezha's birthday.
"Hahaha, today is my birthday, you can eat as much as you want, if it's not enough, your second uncle will give you plenty, hehehe!" Nezha stood up and shouted.
Then the people began to eat. Because of limited resources and the lack of chopsticks, they had to eat with their hands.
However, they didn't care; they just ate. Once it entered their mouths, they felt like their souls were flying away.
This is so delicious! It's the best food I've ever eaten in my life.
Is this something immortals eat? It looks so delicious!
They practically swallowed their tongues; what was delicious in modern times was an absolute delicacy for people in ancient times.
In ancient times, food was basically just boiled and seasoned with salt. Unlike today, with so many seasonings, how could it not taste good?
In just a few minutes, the plates in front of them were completely cleared, and they even licked the plates clean.
Lin Qing raised an eyebrow and waved his hand, and a variety of delicious dishes appeared on their table again, this time with a different menu.
"This, this is so delicious! Pfft, pfft~~ So good! Pfft, it would be perfect with some wine." Master Taiyi ate with his mouth full of oil.
Then he grabbed the iced cola from the side and gulped it down his throat. "Burp! Wow! This is great, so refreshing!"
No one spoke at the table except for Taiyi Zhenren, who kept muttering to himself. Li Jing, Yin Shiniang, Nezha, and Ao Bing were all scrambling for the food like whirlwinds.
Lin Qing ate slowly and leisurely. Since the food was gone anyway, with a thought, the whole table was filled with delicious food.
There was plenty to go around. Lin Qing didn't believe they could eat all of his supplies. Seeing everyone enjoying themselves, Lin Qing felt a deep sense of happiness.
The banquet lasted until the morning of the next day, though it wasn't just eating the whole time; there were performances late into the night.
Furthermore, Lin Qing brought out a computer and a projector to show them movies, and they had a wonderful time.
The next morning, Lin Qing and Ao Bing took their leave, and invited Nezha to the Dragon Palace for a visit.
As for Li Jing, Yin Shiniang, and Taiyi Zhenren, they all refused. Li Jing and Yin Shiniang wanted to stay and deal with the damaged houses and such.
The latter, Taiyi Zhenren, was going to find his master, Yuanshi Tianzun, to complain, while only Nezha happily went to the Dragon Palace to play.
"Ao Bing, is the Dragon Palace really that beautiful?"
"Second Uncle, where did you get all those delicious foods? They're so tasty!"
"Ao Bing, are you really a dragon? Then how come you're just like a human, except you have two horns on your head?"
"Second Uncle, why is your hair golden? It looks so handsome." Along the way, Nezha was like a curious little child, constantly asking questions.
Lin Qing also wanted to enjoy the scenery along the way, so he didn't teleport with the two of them. Two hours later, they arrived at the Dragon Clan's main camp.
"Nezha, look, that's the Dragon Palace. Isn't it beautiful?" Ao Bing pointed at the magnificent Dragon Palace with a smug look on his face.
"Wow, it's so beautiful! It's so pretty! Hehehe, I want to go inside and play!" Little Nezha's eyes were practically shining.
Ao Bing replied with a smile, "Of course, you can stay there without any problem, and you can stay as long as you like."
After Lin Qing brought the two little ones back to the Dragon Palace, he found Ao Guang, while Nezha and Ao Bing went to play inside the Dragon Palace.
At this moment, Ao Guang was discussing important matters with his three younger brothers.
As soon as Ao Guang saw Lin Qing enter, he quickly stood up and said, "Second Uncle, the dragons we sent out have been returning one after another, and the news from the West Sea, North Sea, and South Sea has been investigated and clarified."
Ao Qin Sanlong, who was standing next to him, also stood up, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Second Uncle."
Lin Qing nodded and sat down in the main seat: "Well, let's talk about it then."
Ao Guang: "The ruler of the Western Sea is Zhang Bazhua, who is an octopus fish that has cultivated himself and commands a million demon soldiers."
“These demon army are not like the black dragon’s ragtag subordinates; they are all composed of octopuses.”
"If you include the ragtag army, the number would be over three million. Zhang Bazhua himself is at the peak of the mid-stage Earth Immortal realm."
"After that, there was the ruler of the North Sea, Shark Tooth, who was a shark that had cultivated into a spirit and was extremely powerful, reaching the peak of the Earth Immortal realm."
"It also has a million-strong army of its own, with countless ragtag troops, which is much stronger than Octopus Claw."
"The last ruler of the South China Sea is Little Whale, who was cultivated from a whale and reached the peak of the Earth Immortal realm. Due to the advantages of her original form, she is the strongest being there."
"There are not many subordinates, only a mere 50,000 whale demons, and over a million ragtag troops."
Lin Qing looked at the huge differences in strength among the rulers of the four seas and wondered, "With the strength of Shark Tooth and Whale Tiny, either one of them could destroy the East Sea and the West Sea, right?"
"Why have we been able to coexist peacefully until now?"
Lin Qing didn't believe that the agreement reached by the four demons thousands of years ago could last this long, or that they felt they couldn't control such a vast sea area.

Ao Guang paused for a moment and said, "Because of the restraint of Whale Xiaoxiao, Shark Tooth had already advanced to the peak of the Earth Immortal realm hundreds of years ago."
"Then he planned to kill Whale Xiaoxiao, who was still in the middle stage of Earth Immortal, and the other two early stage Earth Immortals, Octopus and Black Dragon, so that he could monopolize the four seas."
"His first target was Whale Little, but in the end, it all came to nothing because Whale Little actually broke through to the peak of the Earth Immortal realm during the battle with him."
"With Little Whale around, Shark Tooth doesn't dare to invade other sea areas."
Lin Qing said calmly, "We need to complete the control of the four seas as soon as possible, so that we will have enough resources and time to improve your cultivation."
“Look at yourselves. Each of you is a dragon with such powerful talent, yet you are only at the early stage of Earth Immortal. Even the weakest black dragon is at the mid-stage of Earth Immortal.”
"How can you be so shameless? Not to mention Shark Tooth and Little Whale, both at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm."
"Um, Second Uncle, we've been in the underwater purgatory all this time. We have no cultivation resources and rely solely on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate. We also have to use divine power to suppress the lava purgatory."
Ao Run, his face flushed, said indignantly, "Unlike those few demonic beasts, who have such vast resources and thousands of years of cultivation, if it were us, we would have broken through to the Celestial Immortal realm long ago."
"Hehe!" Lin Qing just chuckled and didn't say anything.
After a while, Ao Guang said, "Second Uncle, what do you think we should do to deal with them?"
Lin Qing licked his lips and said, "Let's go to the West Sea and finish off the octopus first. I haven't eaten octopus in a long time. It should be delicious grilled."
Upon hearing this, Ao Guang and his companions secretly broke out in a cold sweat and could only silently mourn for the demon beasts.
In a deep trench somewhere in the West Sea, a giant seabed plant emitting a green glow grows.
On this plant, a massive octopus, a thousand meters long, was tightly coiled around it.
In the distance, an octopus half the size of the giant octopus swam down from above and stopped in front of the plant.
Zhang Jiuzhao: "Father, the Dragon Clan has returned. The Dragon King is Ao Guang."
The giant octopus opened its enormous eyes: "Hmm? Dragon? Ao Guang? I remember that thousands of years ago, Ao Guang's cultivation was only at the level of a god, right? What's he like now?"
Zhang Jiuzhao: "Father, Ao Guang only has the cultivation of an early-stage Earth Immortal, just like me—"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Bazhua suddenly burst into laughter: "Early stage Earth Immortal? Nothing to worry about. Who knows, we might even be able to snatch a dragon back for a taste."
"These dragons are really getting worse as they get older, haha!" Zhang Bazhua was initially worried, but when he heard that the Dragon King was at the same level as his son, his worries vanished instantly.
"Um, Father, I haven't finished speaking yet." Cold sweat broke out on Zhang Jiuzhao's forehead.
