Chapter 82 Dance Invitation

A grand dinner party held by the Demon King.

Adeline had actually heard about this matter in the past. It was said that the Demon King was a person who was quite keen on banquets. It was said that the Demon King's castle in the past was always ready for banquets.

In many smaller places, rumors about this banquet spread that it was a "devil's revelry feast where the demons feasted on the lives of all races." Hence, it was also called the "Mad Demon Dinner."

It is said that at such banquets, the Demon King would bring powerful captives from various races, and have them dance, duel, struggle, or flatter... for the demons' enjoyment.

Today's banquet should be different from that banquet, after all, Godora is here too.

"Then everyone, please raise your glasses~"

Moher was very excited: "To welcome Miss Lisiduowei's new life, to celebrate the success of the wine business, and to welcome Miss Lastina and Miss Adeline! Let's drink this cup together! Enjoy this moment of gathering!"

The cute and petite girl was the first to drink the glass of wine in her hand.

Hearing that this was their own brewed wine, Adeline wanted to take something out for testing, but it seemed that there was no such opportunity. Without much hesitation, she drank the wine.

Moh snapped his fingers.

The sound of music naturally filled the room. "Alchemy is truly convenient! Speaking of which, Miss Adeline shares the same name as the president of the Contemporary Alchemist Association. He's truly a great figure. I never thought of applying alchemy to something like this before... I was even considering hiring an orchestra to perform."

In her treasure house, there is also a high-level alchemical tool called "Scale of Destruction". Incorporating music into alchemical tools is not a new thing, but applying it to civil affairs is another idea.

Although it is very simple.

"You're right. I think she's a really great person."

This is really bragging...Lastinna couldn't help but complain in her heart.

But her eyes were clearly on Dora. Thinking carefully, Mr. Dora was the only man in the mansion. Miss Lisiduowei and Miss Rose were the housekeeper and maid. Although they were very beautiful,...

In such occasions, dancing is a great opportunity to show your charm.

She should have asked Mr. Doro to dance.

In this way, the other girls can only dance with each other, and she will be the focus of the crowd - although it is reasonable for Miss Moch to find someone to dance with first to warm up the atmosphere, but it seems that she has no such plan.

As for Miss Adeline, she wasn't familiar with these people, so she was probably waiting for her to make a move...

Besides, who here is qualified to dance with Miss Adeline?

As for her? Although she was also of noble status, she had, after all, received a favor from Mr. Duo Luo, a brave and powerful man. Moreover, they had a transaction—a transaction of equals. So it was only natural for her to ask Mr. Duo Luo to dance. Even if she was asked, she could say it was to repay Mr. Duo Luo's kindness.

Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated and walked straight towards Duo Luo.

Everyone's attention was drawn to her behavior.

It couldn't help but fall on her.

Lastina was a little nervous, but she was the daughter of a businessman after all, and was well versed in the ways of business. She knew very well that many things in the world required thick skin to be fought for.

Face is the least important thing for a businessman.

She adjusted her expression, came in front of Duo Luo, and put on what she thought was the sweetest smile in her life. Although she thought she would not be rejected, if she was rejected, she didn't know whether her girlish heart could bear it.

"Mr. Doro, to repay your kind help, could you dance with me?"

Dora's eyes fell on the girl in front of him.

At this moment, the girl bowed gracefully and extended her hand. She was wearing a fitted pale pink dress that perfectly displayed her youthfulness.

Dance?

Come to think of it, the last time he danced was at the celebration party after defeating the Demon King. That was probably the most glorious time in Duo Luo's life.

That day, many people invited him to dance, and he did not refuse any of them.

He felt he had an obligation to dance with everyone.

The shameful memories flooded his mind, making him feel a little ashamed, so much so that his cheeks felt hot. He felt that his past thoughts were simply ridiculous... However.

If he had the chance again, he would probably have the chance to do so.

Thinking of this, he stood up and took Lastina's hand: "It's my honor, ma'am."

Dora's consent was a matter of course...Lastinina originally thought so. After all, she was the daughter of the president of the Xunjin Chamber of Commerce. Even from this perspective alone, no man would refuse her dance invitation, not to mention that she was pretty.

If Duo Luo was a normal man, he would not have thought of rejecting himself.

But...when Dora held her hand, her heart still beat fast.

What's wrong with me?
It was obvious that Mr. Duo Luo looked to be about the same age as his father - he had only extended the invitation out of gratitude and courtesy... why was he so flustered?
Is it because this gentleman is so mature and steady that she feels there is a possibility that she might be rejected?

She didn't have much time to think because Duo Luo had already started guiding her to dance.

"Aren't you very good at dancing?"

"Ah... no, I'm just a little... nervous."

Duo Luo put his arm around the girl's waist. "Nervous? Are you nervous about dancing with me? Or are you not used to this kind of thing?"

"No... that... please don't mind~"

Moher watched what was happening in front of him with a smile. Doro and Lastina had already started dancing.

She came to Adeline with a glass of wine in her hand and said, "I thought you would ask Dora to dance first~"

"I think he'll reject me." Adeline clinked her wine glass with Moher's. "Lastinina doesn't know his identity and didn't recognize him, so he can dance with her as Doro. This might make him feel a little relieved."

"Eh~ Even though we haven't seen each other for so many years, you speak as if you know him very well."

There seemed to be some deep meaning in Moher's words, but Adeline only felt a hint of sarcasm. So Adeline didn't want to answer her.

"Come to think of it, Miss Lastina's arrival seems to be related to the crystal ball I placed in the Demon King's Castle. I don't know how that crystal ball ended up in the hands of the Gold Seeking Merchants... Do you think her current behavior is genuine, or is it the result of interference from some other factor?"

Adeline couldn't help but look at Lastina again when she heard her words: "What do you mean?"

"Although Duoluo seems to have done something similar to a heroic rescue, this man doesn't seem to be handsome enough to instantly attract people, right? If it's the A. Godola of the past, let's put it aside... can the current decadent uncle Mr. Duoluo easily capture the heart of the eldest daughter of the Gold Seeking Merchants? Isn't it a bit too much to look down on the eldest daughter's taste?"

"Love can make people blind, and it's hard to explain."

Moher drank the red wine in his glass in one gulp. "If you insist on thinking so, then take it as it is. It doesn't matter to me anyway. Do you want to dance? We are not much different in height, so dancing should be no problem."

"Wouldn't a height difference be better? One is dancing male steps, the other is dancing female steps. They're almost the same, so some moves are difficult to perform."

"It seems that Miss Douding has indeed matured a lot. I thought alchemists were not very interested in such things."

"Aren't you also an alchemist?"

"That's right."

Mo He clapped his hands, and Li Siduowei came over immediately: "Master Mo He, please give your orders."

"Miss Adeline doesn't want to dance with me. She dislikes the fact that I'm almost her height. You will dance with Miss Ade, on the men's side."

Lisiduo nodded slightly and held out her hand to Adeline: "Miss Adeline, would you please dance with me?"

Adeline stared at the hand, but her eyes fell on Moher again.

"Miss Adeline, I think you two may have something to say about the topic of betrayal."

The vampire queen who betrayed the Demon King, and the members of the brave team who betrayed him.

Indeed, if it comes to communicating about betrayal and love... they do have something to say.

"Since ancient times, music and dance have been the most primitive ways for humans to express their emotions. Before humans understood language, they used their bodies and voices to express their inner worlds."

Mo He seemed to remember something: "Using dance to communicate one's inner thoughts is a good choice."

Adeline held Lisiduowei's hand and said, "Then, respect is worse than obedience, Miss Lisiduowei, please take care of me."

The taller Liz Dove and the relatively petite Adeline began dancing in the hall at this moment.

Doro and Lastina, Lissodevi and Adeline.

Moher's gaze couldn't help but linger on Rose.

"Will you dance with me?"

"...Forget it, you won't, will you?"

Rose didn't expect Moher to see through her inability to dance at once. "As you said, if I treat dance like swordsmanship, it might not be that difficult."

"That thing has a special name called sword dance." Mo He picked up a piece of grilled meat from the plate. "Well, just enjoy the food and the beautiful scenery. There is nothing more enjoyable than this."
