31 Shocking the Audience (1/2)
She revealed a devilish grin.
Bai Ling's body quivered. She crossed her hands in front of her chest, feigned a delicate and charming look, and said sweetly, ”Young Mistress Chu, I've accidentally spoken out of turn. I beg your forgiveness, for I've displayed much sincerity.” Then, she quickly diverted Chu Yue's attention. ”Look, Xiao Luo's going to dance.”
The diversion was a great success. Chu Yue triumphantly shifted her eyes to the dance floor, her delight evident to all.
At that moment, Xiao Luo could hardly retain his composure. Recollecting some of Fang Shulan's simple movements, he slowly began to sway and shuffle his body. But his stiff limbs made his movements all the more ridiculous. He looked like such a dork!
”What dance is that? Why haven't I seen it before?”
”This is called cluttered dancing, which means screwing around.”
”Ye-yeah, cluttered dancing it is, hahaha….”
Everyone was laughing at Xiao Luo with malicious enjoyment.
The grin on Fu Jiawei's face was even more exaggerated. Contempt and disdain were flickering in his eyes. Sure enough, for him, such an uncool and unrefined person was unworthy of being called a friend!
Fang Shulan and Ye Yingying looked at each other, grinning and squinting like an emoji face. In their eyes, Xiao Luo, who to them was nothing more than a yokel, was there to amuse them with his bumpkin ways. They were so mean.
At this moment, Xiao Luo's movements halted, and he transitioned into a robot dance. It was Michael Jackson's signature move, the moonwalk. It seemed as if he was walking in space with his body freed from the clutches of earth's gravity. His movements were like moving clouds and water, smooth and mind stirring!
”Huh? What's going on here?”
Everyone's mouth was agape. Xiao Luo, who was swaying around in his nonsensical dance moves, abruptly performed a turn-around right at the next moment with some impeccable footwork.
The smile on Fu Jiawei's, Fang Shulan's, and Ye Yingying's faces froze.
From far away, Chu Yue and Bai Ling stood there wide-eyed. They couldn't believe Xiao Luo would have something like that up at his sleeve.
Xiao Luo became more and more comfortable in his movements, performing various unnameable one-handed flips and two-handed backflips. He didn't look like a human moving his body, but a spirit who was possessed.
”What the heck? Does he practice the Lightness Skill?”
A guy who was preparing to feast on some desserts was shocked by Xiao Luo, who was randomly performing flips, body waves, and a series of movements that defy human anatomy. He wasn't even aware he had dropped the cake in his hands! Whoa!
Xiao Luo's body flipped rapidly, performing a few jaw-dropping actions mid-air, as he went in the direction of the gourmet table.
Just when everyone thought he was about to topple the table, Xiao Luo forcefully propelled his body, giving people the illusion that he had stopped in mid-air. Then, he tapped both his feet at the corner of the table, did a 360-degree backflip, and landed firmly on the ground.
Phew!
After letting out a long breath, Xiao Luo grabbed a glass of red wine from the gourmet table and guzzled it down with his head raised.
The entire ballroom plunged into a deathly silence.
