Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 313 Xu Xiaoyan's Little Schemes

The giant ship is like a monster in the sea, riding the wind and waves, moving forward steadily.

The cabins arranged for them by the Star Luo Continent were quite nice, measuring forty square meters, and each cabin had its own toilet and shower.

Each cabin also has a balcony with views of the outside world and a sea breeze. It's quite comfortable.

Standing on the balcony, Nan Fusheng felt no swaying at all. The sea breeze was blowing, and the bright sunshine was shining on his whole body, making him feel indescribably comfortable.

"Looking at the sea like this once in a while can help relax your mind."

Looking at the scenery on the sea, Nan Fusheng inexplicably thought of Augustus, who had been hunting soul beasts in the ocean.

After becoming a 100,000-year-old soul beast, his hunting journey should become a bit easier, right? After all, he doesn't need to specifically hunt those high-level sea soul beasts anymore.

If the quality is insufficient, it can be made up for by quantity, since the Time Worms will eventually purify that energy and transform it into pure life energy.

For Augustus, there was absolutely no need to hunt down such powerful and ferocious beasts.

"No, no. This is a time to relax, how can we think about that guy who makes our sanity drop like crazy? Let's think about other nice things."

Nan Fusheng shook his head, trying to shake the image of Augustus's octopus head out of his mind.

"Clear your mind, clear your mind. I wonder how Leviathan is doing now. Augustus is already a 100,000-year-old soul beast. With the bloodline of the deep-sea demon whale, it shouldn't be inferior to Augustus in terms of growth."

As Nan Fusheng pondered, his thoughts drifted to other points.

"Sigh, what a life of toil! Why do I keep thinking about these things?"

Nan Fusheng touched his face with his hand. He never expected that he would be so dedicated. During his precious time to relax, he would actually think about those two clones. He should go back to sleep.

The two giant ships were stable, and although they were thousands of meters apart, they could still clearly see each other because of their enormous size and the absence of any obstructions. There was a sense of mutual support and watchfulness between them.

As dusk settled, watching the sunset over the sea offered a unique and unforgettable experience.

"Attention everyone, attention everyone!" The announcement suddenly rang out in every cabin.

"Welcome aboard the Star Luo ocean liner. Tonight, we will be hosting a grand reception to welcome you all. Please dress elegantly. This will be a social event to foster lasting friendship between our two continents. We will also be having some fun games. Everyone is welcome to participate."

Social event?

Nan Fusheng, lying on the bed, twitched his ears. The party later that evening—dress up? Did he even have a dress up? The answer was, of course, no. He had absolutely no interest in such events.

Ultimately, it's just the so-called high society holding these kinds of balls to show off their status. Although he had seen similar scenes through his other clones, he himself had no interest in such things.

He personally didn't really understand so-called romanticism.

"Bang, bang." A knocking sound rang out.

Nan Fusheng walked over and opened the door.

"Did you hear the broadcast?" Xu Xiaoyan stood prettily at the door.

"Yeah, it's a social event. We can have a big meal later," Nan Fusheng said casually.

Xu Xiaoyan said irritably, "How come you've become so much like the class monitor? All you ever do is eat."

Nan Fusheng shrugged. "What else can I do if I don't eat?"

Xu Xiaoyan said, "You weren't required to dress formally, were you?"

Nan Fusheng said, "Isn't Shrek Academy's uniform considered formal attire?"

Xu Xiaoyan puffed out her cheeks, "I knew you'd forget. Here you go." As she spoke, a flash of light appeared in her hand, and a set of clothes appeared on her arms, which she handed to Nan Fusheng.

"This is……"

Xu Xiaoyan smiled. "All dressed up!"

Upon receiving the clothes, Nan Fusheng could clearly feel the delicate texture of the fabric. Moreover, many of them were clearly not ordinary items.

"Where did you come from?" Nan Fusheng asked Xu Xiaoyan in surprise.

Xu Xiaoyan said proudly, "Of course I bought them. I had someone make them for you. I knew there would be this kind of event, so I made several outfits for you."

Upon hearing this, Nan Fusheng's gaze became somewhat complicated. He never expected that he would actually receive clothes from a girl in his lifetime.

That salted fish, Fors, would never send him anything on her own initiative; it's already a favor that he doesn't send Fors any clothes.

Xu Xiaoyan blushed slightly, raised her proud little head, and said, "So you won't embarrass me! I'll change into it later. I'll also go see Fors; she's probably in the same situation as you." With that, she turned and left.

Carrying the clothes back to his room, Nan Fusheng placed them on the bed and began to examine them closely.

A white suit, white trousers, a white cummerbund, a white shirt, and a white bow tie. The collar is adorned with tiny gold stars, somewhat resembling Xu Xiaoyan's martial spirit.

In addition, there are faint golden patterns, which look somewhat similar to Nan Fusheng's Time Insect Martial Soul.

"That girl actually observed so carefully?" After changing his clothes, Nan Fusheng smiled helplessly as he looked at the patterns. He and Xu Xiaoyan had been companions for several years, and their relationship had gradually become closer over time.

However, he really hadn't expected that Xu Xiaoyan would even have memorized the patterns on the Time Insect. It seemed she had truly been planning this for a long time!

Nan Fusheng pushed open the door and came out. Xu Xiaoyan said she wanted to change Fors into a dress, so it would probably take them quite a while.

After a while, the door opened, and Xu Xiaoyan and Fors walked out of the room hand in hand. When Nan Fusheng saw the two of them, his eyes lit up slightly.

Xu Xiaoyan was wearing a dress, or more accurately, a short dress.

Moreover, Xu Xiaoyan's knee-length short dress was also white, with a simple off-the-shoulder dress-like top and a pleated skirt. The white dress was decorated with tiny gold stars.

In contrast, Fors was dressed in a black short dress, with a similar appearance and style to Xu Xiaoyan.

Her long black dress was adorned with tiny gold stars, and paired with her slightly languid expression, she gave the illusion of a goddess descending from the night.

Generally speaking, when Soul Masters order clothes, they like to have them related to their Martial Soul. Xu Xiaoyan was no exception, but compared to Nan Fusheng, she didn't care as much about Fors's clothes.

They're rivals in love, and the fact that she prepared this outfit for Fors is only because she and Fors have a good relationship. Expecting her to design it carefully is wishful thinking.

No, to be honest, Xu Xiaoyan regretted it a little after dressing Fors in that dress. Why did she have to take it upon herself to help Fors? The saying "clothes make the man" was perfectly embodied in Fors.

She was already good-looking, and now she's gone to all this trouble, making her even more beautiful. What am I doing?! Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but cry out in her heart.

"You all look beautiful today," Nan Fusheng exclaimed sincerely.

Xu Xiaoyan blushed slightly, "Thank you, you look handsome today too!" She completely ignored the "they" that Nan Fusheng mentioned.

When Fors saw Nan Fusheng's clothes, she paused for a moment, then turned around and pinched Xu Xiaoyan's face, kneading it repeatedly, saying, "You little devil, no wonder you wouldn't let me choose white clothes just now, you were setting me up."

Indeed, compared to Fors' black dress, Xu Xiaoyan's white dress was clearly a better match for him.

"Waaah, I was wrong." With her face being constantly rubbed by Fors, Xu Xiaoyan immediately began to beg for mercy.

Fortunately, Fors wasn't really angry. After rubbing her for a while, she let go of Xu Xiaoyan.

"Waaaaah, that's too much." Xu Xiaoyan rubbed her slightly red face, expressing her dissatisfaction with the Great Demon King Fors.

"It seems the others aren't ready yet. Ladies, let's set off." Nan Fusheng glanced at the other unresponsive doors and extended his hand to the two ladies.

"Mmm." "Okay."

The two of them simultaneously extended their palms and placed them in Nan Fusheng's palms, then walked towards the banquet hall.

The grand banquet hall on the Starship is on the second floor, a spacious hall large enough to accommodate over a thousand diners at the same time. At this moment, the hall is already packed with people.

Because it was an exchange and social event, all the tables and chairs were removed, leaving only some high tables in the hall with snacks and drinks on them.

It must be said that the Star Luo Empire and the Douluo Federation have put in a lot of effort. Both sides intend to strengthen their relationship. The hall was decorated in a magnificent and opulent style. One by one, members of the delegations entered in their finest attire, and soon the hall became lively.

All the drinks served at the banquet were sparkling wines. Sparkling wines are the most pleasurable because the carbon dioxide in them delivers the alcohol to all parts of the body very quickly. Therefore, sparkling wine is also known as the most pleasurable wine.

As soon as the three arrived at the banquet hall entrance, they immediately attracted a lot of attention. Of course, most of the attention was focused on Fors, who was wearing a black evening dress adorned with twinkling stars, with black hair and black eyes.

Coupled with Fors's elfin and exquisite appearance, the radiance of the two people beside her was immediately overshadowed.

"Waaah, I really shouldn't have helped her pick out clothes." Xu Xiaoyan pouted slightly upon seeing this.

"Alright, let's go." Nan Fusheng smiled, then took the two of them by the hand and casually found a place to sit down.

"These are the only decent dishes here, but the portions are far too small."

At this moment, Fors was standing in front of a high table, constantly putting pastries into his mouth while eating and making complaints.

On the high table was a plate of snacks, each served with a spoon. Although they looked very delicate, they were clearly not enough to be eaten as a normal meal.

"People don't come here to eat; the main purpose is to socialize, okay?" Nan Fusheng said helplessly.

"Communication? Hmm? I just find these flies annoying."

Fors pointed to Nan Fusheng beside her and gestured to a man who was about to approach that she had a male companion. The man was quite perceptive and smiled slightly at Fors before turning and leaving. This was already the umpteenth person to approach her.

"Well, I think it's better if you don't say these things so obviously, after all, we are members of this exchange event," Xu Xiaoyan kindly reminded Fors.

"Hmph, troublesome."

Fors stuffed another piece of pastry into her mouth. She really had no interest in this kind of thing; she only came here to eat delicious desserts.

By this time, many people had gradually arrived in the hall. Those who could represent the two continents as members of the delegation were undoubtedly outstanding individuals from all walks of life. They came from all sorts of backgrounds.

But in terms of age, the students of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Shrek Academy are definitely among the youngest.

Soon, Nan Fusheng saw that Le Zhengyu, Yuan Enyehui, Xie Xie and others had also arrived at the banquet, with Lu Fa and Shenwei following closely behind.

It was obvious that when Lu Fa appeared, many women in the room had their eyes light up slightly, and then some ladies who considered themselves to be good-looking stepped forward to talk to him, but they were quickly politely stopped by Zui Hongchen and Xue Liushuang.

Of course, although the two politely blocked them, they were just two little girls after all, and they weren't in a romantic relationship with Lu Fa, so their defenses were quickly breached.

"So many disasters and hardships," Nan Fusheng sighed.

With a slight shift of his gaze, Nan Fusheng did not find Ao Hongchen here, but instead saw Wu Changkong and Cai Yue'er.

Wu Changkong, needless to say, was also exceptionally handsome. As soon as he appeared, he attracted the attention of many charming and beautiful young women who immediately went up to him and pestered him.

Yes, those are all members of the Star Luo Continent exchange group. Nan Fusheng could tell their backgrounds at a glance.

Although he wasn't particularly perceptive, he could tell from their accents that they were from the Star Luo Continent.

I've heard that the Star Luo Continent is still an imperialist system. Although it seems to have made a lot of progress compared to the past, such as the fact that the voice of the subjects seems to have been significantly enhanced, it is still essentially an imperialist system, so the traditional profession of nobility still exists.

Those who understand the nature of nobility know that while their ancestors may have been decent initially, their descendants can easily become worse and more decadent with each passing generation.

Nan Fusheng had seen similar records. The nobles on the Star Luo Continent were very extravagant, and even the women were just as open and bold.

Of course, the above refers to the minor nobles; the major nobles are quite good.

After all, if the entire Star Luo Empire were so corrupt, they wouldn't have been able to withstand the pressure from the Federation for so many years and still develop steadily, although they are still far behind the Federation.
