Chapter 73 The Queen and the Beasts' Evening Dance
Although the long table banquet didn't feature a grand Manchu-Han Imperial Feast like Liang He reciting the menu, the meticulously prepared dishes still won over everyone's stomachs, and the meal was thoroughly enjoyed.

Especially when Liang He dressed up as a witch, wearing a crystal bracelet that had turned from a small black snake into a dark purple color, and brewed a pitch-black cola ginger soup, making everyone line up to taste the 'poison', everyone was overjoyed and cried out to the witch, "Spare our lives!"

"Hiss~ Lianghe, this soup is so spicy, my throat feels burning hot."

Although the cola ginger soup looked a bit like a bizarre dish, many people who trusted Liang He still ordered a bowl of soup.

As soon as they swallowed the soup, they felt terrible. The strange taste made their faces scrunch up like meat buns.

"This is cola ginger soup, meant to warm everyone up. After all, the activities will be outdoors, so it's important to keep warm."

Hearing Liang He's explanation, no one wanted to disappoint her. They gritted their teeth, stamped their feet, and swallowed all the soup.

"Hey? You know what, really, after just one bowl of soup, I felt all warm and cozy inside!"

"It's true! I was feeling a bit chilly at night, but now I'm actually sweating!"

"I knew Liang He wouldn't harm us. This soup is really good. I'll have another bowl!"

Winter nights are always exceptionally cold. Even though a campfire has been lit long ago, unless you are very close by, you still have to cover yourself up tightly. Otherwise, the biting wind will seep into your clothes and enter your body, and just thinking about it makes me shiver.

"Haha, it's good that it works, but we shouldn't eat too much of this soup. Let's eat some other hot food to warm ourselves up."

Today, she and the chef prepared a lot of delicacies from Earth. In addition to the hot pot and whole roasted lamb that everyone has been craving, there was also roasted duck, roasted goose, roasted chicken, roasted fish, and even Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they changed into their costumes to prepare for an outdoor bonfire-style masquerade ball.

When Liang He appeared in a super gorgeous red velvet ball gown, everyone was amazed. It turned out that someone could actually wear such an elaborate gown so beautifully.

"Liang He, this red velvet dress makes you look like Snow White from a fairy tale!"

Because of Liang He's subtle influence, people have gradually come to know more about Blue Star culture.

When Liang He appeared, her fair and delicate skin made even more striking by the red backdrop, no one could believe that this was the same Liang He who usually wandered around in her work clothes. You could believe she was a queen from some country! The contrast was just too great!
"Um... I think I'll put on the mask first."

Feeling a little uncomfortable being the center of attention, Liang He awkwardly put on a black feather mask covered with rhinestones, which stood out brightly in the flickering campfire.

"Beautiful Queen, would you like to dance with me?"

Enthusiastic and bold people have already started inviting Liang He to dance, followed by countless inviting hands. Liang He was at a loss, but in the end, she actually set her sights on the well-behaved and cute Xuan Jiao next to her.

"Thank you everyone. Xuanjiao and I are going to perform a dance for you."

Without hesitation, Liang He grabbed the Iron-Eating Beast's hand as if it were a lifeline and began to move towards the center of the campfire.

The bewildered Iron-Eating Beast, though not understanding Liang He's intentions, obediently followed her steps due to its unconditional trust.

"Jiaojiao, will you dance with me?"

Bears are very intelligent creatures with an exceptionally strong learning ability. For example, black bears can even mimic human actions to lure humans closer before catching their prey.

"Hmm~"

The gentle iron-eating beast responded softly to Liang He, and with some doubt, placed Liang He's hands on its paws. With Liang He's gentle guidance, the two of them actually started dancing.

Wow! This is the first time I've ever seen humans and wild beasts dancing together!

Since Xu Yi stayed by Liang He's side, he has discovered that she is a treasure trove, giving him new surprises and shocks every day.

"I must say, Xuan Jiao cooperated very well! Like a nimble fat man." Xuan Jiao: Are you being polite? I'm chubby, not fat!
"However, I think Liang He's move is a bit risky. Is she sure she won't make Azure Falcons and the others jealous?"

Holder pointed out the key issue with remarkable clarity, and as soon as he finished speaking, the furry creatures made their dazzling entrance.

"Roar!"

You brat, you actually danced with two-legged beasts behind our backs! And they even trusted the Iron-Eating Beast to protect Liang He!

Sure enough, not competing or grabbing is actually competing and grabbing!
"Hey? Leopards, you're finally back! Come on, let's dance!"

Liang He was worried about how to continue avoiding other people's invitations. Dancing with the Iron-Eating Beast all the time wasn't going to work. When she saw Mo Jin Wang Hu and the others return, she quickly invited them to join the dance.

The furry creatures, who had been complaining, immediately surrounded Liang He upon hearing her call, like the queen's fierce knights, loyally protecting her.

Liang He turned the duet (or beast) dance into a multi-person (or beast) dance. Within a five-meter radius, no one dared to approach, fearing they would disturb the beast bosses' enjoyment and also disrupt this rare harmony and beauty.

Meanwhile, the medical department of the Federal Animal Research Institute held an emergency meeting during the festive season because of a report sent by Xu Yi earlier.

"From the report submitted by Dr. Xu Yi, we can find that a mutation has occurred in the Silver Moon Wolf's body."

At first, everyone thought that the Silver Moon Wolf simply had a strong healing ability, which was why it was able to recover to 80-90% of its health index in such a short period of time.

However, in the final test report, they were surprised to discover that the Silver Moon Wolf possessed a mysterious power that was enhancing its strength.

After evaluation, they even suspected that the Silver Moon Wolf was evolving. Of course, unlike the evolution of SSS-level orcs, the Silver Moon Wolf's evolution was mainly reflected in its attack power and healing power.

"If our suspicions are true and the Silver Moon Wolf is evolving, then its evolved strength could very well be comparable to an A-level or even an S-level orc."

Despite being far inferior to SSS-level orcs, their strength should not be underestimated. The rebel army's ferocious beast army is now winning entirely through sheer numbers; in reality, their attack power is at most B-level, with most of them below C-level.

"As far as I know, this Silver Moon Wolf had contact with the rebels and was rescued while severely injured. I suspect that this may be a new technology developed by the rebels."

Upon hearing this, everyone present turned serious; if this were true, it would be the worst possible outcome.

The army of ferocious beasts was already a major headache for the Federation. If the rebels were to develop ferocious beasts with strength at the A-level or even S-level, it would likely trigger an unprecedented war.

"Minister Eden, what are your thoughts?"

As the head of the medical department, Eden didn't actually know much about research and development, but since the dean took the initiative to ask him, he did have some ideas.

"I think the most urgent task now is to conduct close research and observation of the Silver Moon Wolf. Perhaps things are not as bad as we think."

Eden believed that this might be a gift from nature, giving the severely injured Silvermoon Wolf a new lease on life.

"That makes sense. The nature reserve recently submitted an application to transfer personnel. Who do you think would be suitable to send?"

The director's question really stumped Eden. The Federal Animal Research Institute mainly consists of two departments: the Medical Department and the Research and Development Department.

Regarding the Silver Moon Wolf, the R&D department must also want to get involved. If they make any new discoveries, it would be a great thing that brings both fame and fortune.

Eden pondered for a moment and finally came up with the most suitable candidate.

"What does the Dean think of Lan Zhuo?"

Do you guys get this feeling of watching Beauty and the Beast? Hehe~
