Chapter 565 - Follow Me (1/2)

“Huh? I don't know how to dance.” Tang Wulin waved his hand dismissively at the idea. He had never danced before, nor had the opportunity to learn.

“It's not hard. How about I teach you?” Lin Yuhan said, offering her hand to him.

Tang Wulin blinked a few times as he stared at her hand. Before he could react, she grabbed him by the hand and dragged him to the dance floor.

“Big Sis! That girl from Star Luo is taking away Wulin!” Xu Xiaoyan exclaimed, nudging Gu Yue with her elbow.

Gu Yue turned. Her eyes zeroed in on Lin Yuhan gripping Tang Wulin's hand as they headed to the dancefloor and frowned.

“What are you going to do Big Sis?” Xu Xiaoyan quietly asked.

Contrary to Xu Xiaoyan's expectations, Gu Yue smiled calmly. “It's fine.”

Xu Xiaoyan smiled as well. “Captain sure is popular! You better keep a close eye on him.”

“If a girl lets her man get s.n.a.t.c.hed away by another girl, then she only has herself to blame.”

Ye Xinglan nodded in agreement and gave Gu Yue a thumbs up. As for Yuanen Yehui, she could only smile wryly at the exchange.

Seemingly out of thin air, Xie Xie popped up next to Yuanen Yehui and said, “Don't worry! No matter how pretty other girls are, I'll always be faithful!”

“Get away from me,” Yuanen Yehui said without batting an eye while the other three girls watched with warm smiles.

Back on the dance floor, Tang Wulin realized how helpless it was to throw off Lin Yuhan. As expected of a blacksmith, her large and powerful hands had a vice-like grip on him.

In truth, Tang Wulin was quite impressed with her. It was already difficult for men to become blacksmiths, and exponentially harder for women. Blacksmithing was the hardest main profession to advance in, so the fact that she was also a fifth-rank blacksmith at nearly the same age as him served testimony to her sacrifice to get there. Tang Wulin understood all too well how challenging blacksmithing was. The hards.h.i.+ps he went through to reach his current level made it all the more obvious that she possessed immense willpower and tenacity. Blacksmithing was a path walked by many and he was bound to meet many others walking this path, so as reluctant as he was, he didn't fight her anymore and let her take him to the dance floor.

Once they found their own little s.p.a.ce, Lin Yuhan whirled around to face Tang Wulin without letting go of his hand. She raised the hand that held his and put her other hand on his shoulder.

“Just follow my movements. I'll lead. Now put your free hand on my waist,” Lin Yuhan said softly.

“Huh?” Tang Wulin stared at her blankly. He had never been so close to a girl before except for Gu Yue and Na'er. He subconsciously followed her instructions and placed a hand at her waist. When he felt her slim waist, his heartbeat quickened and crimson warmth rose to his cheeks, highlighting his obvious lack of experience with women.

Lin Yuhan giggled at how stiff Tang Wulin was acting. “I'm going to start now.” She slid her left foot to the side and brought Tang Wulin deeper into the dance floor. With her hands, she exerted strength to guide him along on the proper movements.

Although Tang Wulin did not know how to dance, he had learned the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step so he had a good foundation for footwork. His movements were a bit sluggish, but he managed to keep up with Lin Yuhan to form an awkward but acceptable dance.

Lin Yuhan gradually picked up the pace as Tang Wulin grew more familiar with the routine. Soon, he found the rhythm and was moving in tune with the music.

While the two clearly weren't the best dancers on the floor, they were a handsome man and beautiful lady and easily attracted countless eyes.

As Lin Yuhan led Tang Wulin along, a smile blossomed on her face. “You're real heavy even though you don't look fat at all.” Indeed, Tang Wulin's weight was wholly inconsistent with his body figure. His muscle and bone density was far greater than the average person and granted him a weight that would astonish people.

Tang Wulin smiled wryly. “I'm not a good dancer, but I can tell you're really good at this.”

“How about you visit me at the Imperial Star Luo Academy when we arrive?”

Tang Wulin chuckled. “Sure. You guys have some unique perspectives on blacksmithing that I'd love to hear about. Maybe I'll learn a thing or two.”

Lin Yuhan rolled her eyes. “You're still focused on learning? You're already good enough as you are. Let me tell you, I'm the best blacksmith we got there, and I'm still no match for you. Really, just what sort of training have you been doing? When did you start blacksmithing?”
