Douluo Continent: After their charm was maxed out, they became simps.

Chapter 78 How dare you be so disrespectful to Young Master Xia!

However, just as Xia Bai finished speaking, Xue Ke rushed forward without regard for anything else and threw herself into Xia Bai's arms.

She gripped Xia Bai's clothes tightly with both hands, as if afraid he would disappear again.

At that moment, all restraint and worries vanished, leaving only pure joy and peace of mind.

"finally found you!"

Xueke's voice was choked with sobs, and tears welled up in her eyes but did not fall.

This sentence contains so many emotions: nostalgia for the past and hope for the future.

Xia Bai was stunned; he hadn't expected Xue Ke's reaction to be so strong. But quickly, he reached out and gently embraced Xue Ke, responding to her feelings with his actions.

Xia Bai and Xue Ke's intimate actions were like a pebble thrown into a lake, creating ripples that instantly plunged the guests, who were originally immersed in a joyful atmosphere, into a state of uproar.

"What... what's going on?" An old nobleman rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he was seeing.

In his memory, Princess Xueke had always maintained a noble and aloof image and had never behaved so out of line, which surprised everyone.

"Princess Xueke actually took the initiative to hug a strange man!" A young female attendant covered her mouth, her eyes flashing with a complicated expression. Like many others, she was full of curiosity and suspicion about the identity of this mysterious man.

"Who is this person? How could Princess Xueke lower her guard and be so intimate with him!"

murmurs arose as everyone discussed the matter in hushed tones, trying to glean more information from each other.

Upon seeing this, the avalanche nearby suddenly brightened up and quickly stepped forward, pointing at Xia Bai and shouting:

"How dare you! Who gave you, a lowly commoner, permission to touch Princess Xueke!"

As soon as the avalanche was mentioned, the atmosphere around them suddenly became tense.

Several Imperial Guards arrived upon hearing the news. They were well-equipped, had serious expressions, and were clearly ready to carry out orders at any time.

Upon seeing these Imperial Guards, Avalanche's face revealed a confident expression. With a flick of his finger, he gave the order:

"What are you waiting for? Quickly suppress this shameless scoundrel!"

Several Imperial Guards received orders to avalanche, raised their spears, and walked towards Xia Bai.

"Hmph, let's see what you do now!" Xue Beng looked at Xia Bai with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

What an idiot! How dare he flirt with royalty in public.

They really think they're something special!

Xue Ke, seeing the Imperial Guards approaching, quickly called out:

"Third Brother, this is my friend! He's here for my birthday party."

However, the avalanche will not listen to Xueke.

Xia Bai is one of the Crown Prince's people, so naturally he is his enemy.

This is a golden opportunity, and he doesn't want to let it slip away.

Xia Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, and his soul power surged around him.

If these imperial guards dare to get any closer, he wouldn't mind making the whole palace a scene of chaos.

Just as they were about to make a move, an extremely majestic voice boomed like thunder, piercing through the noisy crowd and striking the depths of everyone's hearts.

"Stop right there!"

Although the sound was not as deafening as thunder, it contained an unquestionable authority and determination, causing everyone present to involuntarily stop what they were doing and turn towards the direction from which the sound came.

Not far away, a middle-aged man wearing a purple-gold dragon robe and a crown with tassels was walking slowly towards them.

His steps were steady and powerful, each step seemingly striking the hearts of the people. His gaze was sharp as an eagle's, and even from a distance, one could feel the invisible pressure emanating from him.

This person is none other than Xue Ye, the ruler of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

With Xueye's appearance, the tense atmosphere instantly froze. Everyone's attention was drawn to him, and no one dared to breathe loudly.

Xueye's face was sharply defined, and his brows revealed a kingly aura, but his expression at this moment was unusually serious.

When he approached and looked around, his insightful eyes seemed to see through everyone's thoughts.

Then, he fixed his gaze on Xia Bai and Xue Ke, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Avalanche, tell me what happened?"

Upon hearing Emperor Xueye's words, Xue Beng's face lit up with joy, and he quickly knelt on one knee and said:

"Father! This man made inappropriate advances towards Princess Xueke at her birthday banquet."

"Your Majesty, I wish to arrest this shameless scoundrel!"

Upon hearing about the avalanche, Xue Ke hurriedly explained:

"No, Father, he is my friend! He did not treat me in a disrespectful manner."

"Hmph, this man is nothing but a commoner. What right does he have to be friends with my royal family?" Xue Beng stood up, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance.

Just as the atmosphere at the banquet was once again at a standstill due to the avalanche of remarks, a disdainful voice suddenly boomed throughout the banquet hall like a thunderclap.

The voice was deep and powerful, and the anger it contained was obvious, like a lion that had been lying in wait for a long time finally unable to suppress its anger and letting out a deafening roar.

"Hmph! From your words, you mean even I am not worthy to enter the gates of your royal family?"

As the owner of the voice slowly entered everyone's view, all eyes were fixed on him.

The newcomer was none other than Dugu Bo, the renowned Title Douluo of the Heaven Dou Empire, a powerful Soul Master with exceptional strength and an unruly personality.

Avalanche's expression hardened, and the words he was about to say stuck in his throat, unable to come out for a long time.

When his gaze met Dugu Bo's, he felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

Immediately afterwards, Dugu Bo turned his gaze to Emperor Xueye, his attitude remaining firm and unruly.

"Young Master Xia is a distinguished guest personally invited to the palace by me, Dugu Bo!"

This statement was like a bombshell, instantly igniting public opinion at the banquet.

It is important to know that in the Heaven Dou Empire, the status of a Title Douluo is second only to that of the royal family, and they wield considerable influence.

But now the trigger for this farce is actually the distinguished guest invited by Poison Douluo.

That makes things complicated.

"If you think that even I, Dugu Bo, am not worthy to participate in this so-called 'Royal Feast,' then I will leave on my own."

Dugu Bo's tone carried a hint of anger.

Young Master Xia was Dugu Bo's savior, even if it meant going against the entire royal family.

He, Dugu Bo, will also strongly support Young Master Xia!

These words undoubtedly increased the psychological burden on everyone present, especially for Emperor Xueye.

Emperor Xueye frowned deeply. He knew Dugu Bo's personality well; if he were to anger him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Moreover, Dugu Bo is so supportive of this person, could it be that he has something special about him?

"Father, this is Xia Bai, the young master Xia, whom I just told you about."

Beside Emperor Xue Ye, Xue Qinghe spoke with a smile.
