CHAPTER 783: CHAPTER 483: DANCE MUSIC

Regardless of their age difference, the two princes at the pinnacle of nobility entered the ballroom as the first pair of dancers.

The music was so gentle, yet there was no ambiguity between them, only an uncompromising force like fire and water, a stark divide of superiority...

This was the first pair.

Without a doubt.

The second pair was the young man standing behind the Grand Prince of Yale, sporting a red bow tie.

His hair color was somewhere between black and dark blue, his eyes a pure blue, so cold that it seemed to carve into bones, forbidding prolonged stares. He had been standing behind Yale, but behind him stood another similarly cold-looking person with blue eyes..

Cold, wild, murderous...

It provoked fear.

"People from the Northern Ice Wolf Clan," it was Landis... their Young Master... a big name indeed, how can it feel completely outside the scope of the mission.."

Sui Yi already felt an aura similar to Sherlock’s emanating from him... No, Sherlock’s presence could not even begin to compare, the sheer coldness in those eyes was enough to instill fear.

And the Northern Ice Wolf Clan was known by this name in the Dark World, but in the visible world, this clan was treated as a massive family... called by the name Ais, pronounced like ’ice’, cold! A family as brutally frigid as ice and snow.

They really did come!

In terms of positioning... the location of the Northern Ice Wolf Clan formed a perfect thirty-degree angle with the Old Master; previously, his gaze seemed fixed in that direction...

But now, it was apparent that the Northern Ice Wolf Clan was the Grand Prince of Yale’s esteemed first guests. So, was the undertone of this banquet set to revolve around them?

Sui Yi’s left hand subtly explored...

Cao Ling had just mentioned it was beyond the scope of the mission...

Indeed, with both Natasha and Landis present, especially the former, it indeed far exceeded the level implied by the Imperial Guards and the faction Cao Ling belonged to.

Ming Lanyuan exchanged glances with Yue Beiqing...

Is the higher-up joking with us, damn it!

By the way, can I claim expenses for the round-trip flight tickets and evening gown?

Then Landis stepped forward... turned to stand before a young lady, who seemed to be of mixed heritage, with long hair and amber eyes. She had been keeping a low profile in the crowd, conversing with an elder beside her, and now her expression turned slightly forlorn as she saw Landis approach.

Yes, forlorn...

Honestly, according to international beauty standards, both Landis and Kaso are the peak of male attractiveness here.

Natasha is at the female peak...

But this girl... she belongs to a different zenith.

Her delicate, melancholic... ascetic beauty, spreads from her elegantly wavy chestnut hair that draped over her shoulders to her beautiful, delicate, yet frail face...

"Mo Luo, Mayi?"

Mo Luo was silent for a moment, didn’t refuse, couldn’t refuse, because it was a matter of etiquette.

International etiquette.

To refuse could potentially send a message of discord within their family... even if there truly was discord, it couldn’t be exposed publicly.

This was the respect and helplessness hidden behind Mayi’s brief phrase.

Mo Luo, draped in an elegant coffee-colored long dress, stepped in.

One full of melancholy and softness, the other of coldness and frost, an unsettling sight, as if a sheep caught in the gaze of a wolf...

This was the second pair.

So, who would be the third pair?

In terms of prestigious identity...

General Philip made his way to an Oriental Beauty.

Yue Beiqing? Cao Ling? Cao Qijun? Hmm... none of them.

"Chinese beauty, a synonym for mystery, you intoxicate me..." He extended his hand, towards Ming Lanyuan...

Just five seconds before, Zhong Lang had already reached out his hand to Ming Lanyuan, narrowing his eyes at Philip.

"General Philip seems to not understand the concept of first come, first served,"

"Oh~ I’ve always believed that beautiful women have the right to choose. It’s not about who came first or last, but about who is superior~"

"Is that so, it does make some sense," Zhong Lang and Philip turned their attention to Ming Lanyuan simultaneously.

Meanwhile, Fess sighed lightly, "I didn’t expect our dear Philip to still be keen on taking other men’s women, and he’s always had a thing for Oriental beauties... right, Alec?"

"Wu wu wu,"

"No need to talk, I get it, just eat,"

"Wu,"

However, as a woman being simultaneously adored by an old A-ranked master like Philip and a young prodigy about to break into the A rank, Ming Lanyuan’s response was this—she flicked her long hair and sighed faintly, "Is it you, or you, that is the question~~ General Philip, do you really want me to fall out with my colleague?"

"Ah~ if the Imperial Guards from your country are all just these green young kids, then I would suggest, Lan, someone with your talent would be better off with our Blood Rose, and Miss Yueh~ you’re also a talent we at Blood Rose deeply appreciate~ the recent undercover operation was very well played~"

Damn it! Are you addicted to poaching! One after another!

Yue Beiqing gave a forced smile and gave Ming Lanyuan a quick glance—you handle the men you flirted with, even if it comes down to splitting yourself in two!

Alright~

Ming Lanyuan extended her hand... "Sorry, Lang, I like strong men.."

Zhong Lang’s face darkened; this woman was truly as discerning as ever when it came to "good meat."

I’ll break into A rank when I get back!

And just as Ming Lanyuan’s hand was about to fall into Philip’s... her waist was encircled by a gracefully beautiful hand and pulled away.

With one close embrace, she found herself in the arms of Cao Yu, the pair then glided into the dance floor.

Cao Ling: Damn it! I just told you that you couldn’t outdo Zhong Lang, and now you’ve gone and outdone Philip, too? Brother, I’m on my knees! If a fight breaks out later, I’m running, you cover my retreat!

General Philip whistled and said to Zhong Lang, "I take back what I just said."

Chinese men, still, there are a few who are MAN.

Zhong Lang’s face turned dark again.

Cao Yu, how could this noble son possibly...

In the middle of the dance floor.

The two long legs matched in that moment with unparalleled... harmony.

It always seemed to be filled with heart-racing, face-blushing ambiguity.

For example, Ming Lanyuan at this moment, smiled and teased, "Well, does little brother Cao Yu have a grudge against those two, or is it really because he can’t find any other women..."

Her expression was so innocent, like a goblin who would tempt you and then clap her hands and run away.

Cao Yu was grinding his teeth a bit.

"You’re right, you really can’t find any other women... Isn’t it because of you?"

She made him constantly remember her sharp and biting remarks, seductive and fetching demeanor; he resented how she behaved the same with everyone... That skirt was so short, it didn’t even fully cover her butt... and she dared to wear it out!

Strange that this woman was actually a relative of the Su Family! Why couldn’t she learn some ladylike grace from Su Zimu and the others?

"Me? But it’s snowing in June outside, my dear Young Master Cao~ Every time you look at me, it’s almost as if you’re looking at a courtesan, perhaps you want to play the saint, offering yourself to save the frisky me?"

You, do you want to become my furnace?

Ming Lanyuan really just wanted to tease this high and mighty noble son of Capital City, who stood tall and graceful as a jade tree...

But it was just for fun and she hadn’t expected...

Her waist was suddenly pulled hard, and she was pressed tightly against Cao Yu.

This man was grinding his teeth in her ear.

"Why not"

Well, seemed like she went a bit overboard with the teasing~

--------

--------

As Cao Yu and Ming Lanyuan, the pair who defied convention, continued to dance in the ballroom with a twirling step, the pressure was on for the fourth couple to join. In fact, this waltz did not mind how many couples joined, but there must be no less than ten couples; otherwise, the ball would appear far too shabby.

And one after another, even if not seamlessly connected, they had to achieve enough tacit understanding, so this fourth couple...

Cao Ling on the side sneered, "Still my brother, what the fuck, what about being your sister’s dance partner! Your sister is still hanging here, isn’t she?"

However, when that universally adored superstar approached their side... Cao Ling narrowed her eyes and stroked her chin, somewhat suspicious, this man...

Kaso, his beauty was at the pinnacle of the Western world, stunning enough to make people from the Eastern hemisphere blush and palpitate, especially his eyes.

--When he looks at you, you would feel like the whole world is yours, because his eyes are the entire world.

That was a very famous advertisement slogan, endorsed by Kaso, and to this day it remains a golden catchphrase in the advertising industry. But such a man... his eyes were looking at Sui Yi?

No, both Sui Yi and Cao Ling knew that wasn’t the case.

So...

Many people couldn’t help but make way for him.

When Kaso stood in front of the man leaning against the column to the left behind Sui Yi.

He extended his hand, his long and beautiful palm like a sculpture falling in front of Yi.

"I have always believed that any chance encounter is a predestined rendezvous," he spoke gently and enthrallingly, his tone three parts husky and seven parts clear, which amounted to utterly sexy, and the beautiful silver wolf head cufflinks on his sleeves began to glow slowly...

My my, here we go again!

Fatty Gao couldn’t help but complain, another damn flirtatious charmer!

You Westerners really know how to play~ Ever heard of subtlety?

However, no one expected this world-famous superstar to set his sights on Yi, who has always been low-key and silent without much fame, including those high society ladies, whose inner roar and biting of their handkerchiefs...

Yi didn’t care about those women’s eyes burning with intensity, and her posture, with arms crossed leaning against the pillar, remained unchanged, giving only one reply.

"NO"

Everyone was surprised, astonished, and hysterical!

What did she say?

What did she say!!!

The media responsible for filming went crazy!

This woman actually said NO to Kaso!

And after she said it, she didn’t even glance at Kaso but just looked indifferently and stoically at the dance floor...

Kaso sighed, "I’m sorry," he apologized politely, causing quite a few women to feel heartache, with several socialites ready to step forward to offer themselves...

But then..

Kaso gestured with his hand, presenting it to the person next to him.

"Then, to this graceful lady, may Kaso have the honor?"

Then, Fess and Alec heard the commotion from over there, and General Philip, who was speaking with a nobleman, turned his head to look, ha!

A familiar face, that one!

A loud whistle just like that emerged.

General Philip’s spotlight suddenly increased the exposure of the scene.

Alec, seeing the woman asked by Kaso to dance, couldn’t help but widen his eyes: "Wuwuwu~" (To be continued.
