Chapter 600 - Want To Be My Boyfriend? (1/2)

The banquet had already begun when Tang Wulin and Wu Zhangkong entered. In the center of the hall, the emperor and empress stood in magnificent attire as they chatted with the high-level members of the diplomatic delegation. The mood throughout the hall was joyous, n.o.bles of Star Luo and influential people of Douluo happily mingling.

Music entering the background, Dai Tianling approached a woman in her thirties of Douluo. Invited her to dance. A single glance at that woman would take one's breath away. She accepted his offer with an enchanting smile, and the two stepped onto the dance floor for the first dance of the evening.

As Tang Wulin watched the dance, his mind wandered off elsewhere. Memories of Gu Yue's pa.s.sionate dancing flickered before his eyes. Where's Gu Yue and the others? He scanned the crowd. He soon spotted the others from Shrek Academy chatting with some young n.o.bles of Star Luo. Xu Xiaoyan, Ye Xinglan, and Gu Yue were quite popular. Yuanen Yehui, on the other hand, wore male clothing, causing many to overlook her. Xie Xie stood beside her, desperate to strike up a conversation like a little puppy while she ignored him.

Eh. Forget about it. I'll go over later. It's too crowded there. Tang Wulin would rather avoid being laughed at for his previous blunder.

“Murderer!” someone whispered teasingly. A s.h.i.+ver went down Tang Wulin's spine and he jumped to his feet, turning toward the voice. It was a pretty girl. She smiled at him.

Tang Wulin recognized the voice, although it seemed no one else had heard it. Now he was certain he hadn't hallucinated the shout earlier that day. This girl had shouted it at him! He glared at her with gritted teeth, then strode over.

“Why aren't you releasing your martial soul? Did you learn from last time?” Dai Yun'er giggled.

Tang Wulin glared at her with fury. “You're the one who tricked me?”

Dai Yun'er shrugged. “Isn't it obvious?”

“Why did you do it?”

Dai Yun'er scoffed. “Who told you to sleep during the ceremony? You think it's proper to doze off during such a grand event?”

Tang Wulin was at a loss for words. There was no denying that he had blundered for falling asleep during the ceremony. If he had been awake, then he wouldn't have been so startled when someone whispered into his ear.

“Well, let's go. I'm taking you for a dance,” Dai Yun'er said as she pulled Tang Wulin by the sleeve to the dance floor.

In the middle of the imperial banquet, Tang Wulin had no choice but to obediently follow.

The moment they arrived at the dance floor, the second song had started. The emperor escorted his dance partner to the edge of the dance floor, courteously thanking her for the dance while the empress applauded and smiled. A blush spread through the woman's cheeks like wildfire at the sight of the handsome emperor. Thus, the banquet's ball began.

Tang Wulin stumbled while being dragged, and just as he caught his balance, Dai Yun'er was already leading him into a dance.

From the strength of her grip, Tang Wulin was confident that this princess was a soul master. Moreover, a talented one.

In the spur of the moment, Tang Wulin raised the hand she was holding and placed his other on her waist. He leaned forward and whispered into her ear, “I, uh, don't know how to dance.”

Dai Yun'er smiled. “It's okay. You just have to learn then. I'm actually a pro at this!” Then she yelped as Tang Wulin stepped on her foot.

Tang Wulin hastily moved his foot, an embarra.s.sed smile forming on his lips. “Sorry! I told you, I don't know how to dance.” Although Tang Wulin wasn't one to bare his fangs at someone, he was still quite two-faced. Since Dai Yun'er took the initiative to force him to dance with her, she couldn't complain no matter how bad he was.

Dai Yun'er rolled her eyes at him. “Be careful! Ouch!”

Tang Wulin stepped on her foot again and once again apologized.
