Chapter 247 - AN HOUR BEFORE THE OPENING (2/2)
Inside a pantheon built on a floating cloud…
”Ah Yu, are we really going to this thing?” a beautiful girl with long flowing golden hair and a pair of sky-blue eyes said while holding a parchment. ”Even Ah Min and Ah Hui are not going.”
”They have an excuse,” Duan Yu said. Li Xu Min had a pictorial today and Zhong Hui was accompanying him.
Song Liuli pouted. ”But isn't this Yuexing Pavilion owned by that new member of Yunyue and not something the game developers launched? Why should we go just because some newbie invited us? Passing off his in-game business as something that was owned by the game, it's clearly cheating.”
Duan Yu chuckled hearing Song Liuli's complaint. She knew about Yuexing Pavilion's real owner because the day after the advertis.e.m.e.nt was shown on each city's plaza, the two of them were together and he happened to mention it to her. He also told about it to their captain. That happened even before Noctis came to him asking not to tell anyone that he's the owner of the pavilion. So, in a way, he didn't violate their deal. Besides, both Song Liuli and Li Xu Min were not really the type to gossip about that.
”Don't you think it's interesting?” he just said.
Song Liuli immediately puffed up her cheeks when she heard that. ”What interesting? Are you interested in that newbie?”
Duan Yu pinched Song Liuli's cheek. ”How could I ever be interested in any other when someone like Li Li is already beside me?”
Song Liuli's face flushed red. Adding charm to her already pretty face. She slapped Duan Yu's hand pinching her cheek and snorted. ”Hmp! Don't try to flatter me. I'm not falling for it.”
”Then, what shall I do for Li Li to believe me?” Duan Yu leaned down, almost attaching his lips to her ear. ”Shall I give Li Li a ki—”
Before he could finish what he was about to say, Song Liuli already covered his mouth with both her hands. ”Stop talking!”
Duan Yu's eyes were suddenly filled with a teasing light. He then kissed Song Liuli's palm that was covering his mouth.
Feeling the soft touch on her palm, Song Liuli felt that her whole body had been struck by lightning. She took back her hands in a flash, her whole face was even redder. She glared at Duan Yu, the ends of her charming eyes were red. In anger or shyness, no one knew.
”Duan Yu!”
Duan Yu only laughed.

On Alryne City, inside the best blacksmith shop – Forge Etna…
A tall 'man' with messy black hair was standing in 'his' office, fiddling with the parchment 'he' was holding. 'His' pair of sharp eyes gazed down on the symbol of moon and stars drawn on the parchment. It was an invitation to the Yuexing Pavilion, there's only an hour left before the event. Then 'his' gaze moved on the name it was addressed to.
