Douluo: Rebirth Yuhao, their eyes are not right

If someone whispers to you about taking you to a secluded place, ignore them. Le Xuan and I won't be going with you this time. If you really do get up from some princess's bed the next day, you'll probably end up staying here as a consort."

Zhang Lexuan will become the vice-president of the Martial Soul Department after the Soul Master Competition. At this critical juncture, she naturally has to avoid suspicion like Xian Lin'er.

After all this, in the end, Huo Yuhao had to attend the banquet alone.

As for Gu Yuena, Huo Yuhao was afraid that if she followed him, there was a high probability that she would pack up all the food at the banquet and stuff it into her own stomach.

However, listening to Xian Lin'er's concerned yet somewhat outrageous instructions, Huo Yuhao felt that such a thing should not happen, but he still nodded seriously to comfort his overly worried teacher.

"I understand, Sensei. I'll be right back once the deal is done."

Xian Lin'er felt relieved after hearing his assurance, but she still added with some concern:

"In short, stay away from those women, no matter if they are young or old, pretty or not. The women out there are all very bad-intentioned!"

Then she walked around behind Huo Yuhao, put her hands on his shoulders, and gently pushed him towards the door.

"Okay, let's go, the banquet is about to start."

……

The top-floor banquet hall of the Star King Hotel is already magnificent.

At this time, in order to demonstrate the country's strength, the Xingluo royal family decorated the entire banquet hall with extreme luxury.

The floor is covered with soft, thick red carpet, and heavy velvet curtains are hung all around, isolating the room from the night and noise outside.

There are two huge solid wood long tables on each side of the hall, covered with white tablecloths, silver-gleaming tableware neatly arranged, and various decorative patterns sparkling under the crystal chandeliers.

Servants in uniform were carrying silver trays filled with fine wine, moving gracefully among the crowd like butterflies among flowers.

The Xingluo court musicians, dressed in long robes and gorgeous clothes, holding various musical instruments, played melodious music in a corner of the banquet hall.

Quite a few people had already gathered in the hall, most of them were teachers and student representatives from various colleges.

They gathered in groups of three or four, talking in low voices. Many of them pulled their companions and walked to the dance floor in the center of the hall, dancing to the music.

In a corner of the hall, Xiao Hongchen still had a proud face, holding a glass of wine taken from the servant in his hand. He took a sip from time to time and made a few comments.

"Meng, the Xingluo Imperial Family is nothing special. I feel like this banquet isn't even as good as our Sun and Moon Royal Feast. It seems the Xingluo Empire is truly on the decline."

"Brother, don't act like you've attended many royal banquets."

Meng Hongchen, who was stuffing a piece of exquisite pastry into his mouth and whose speech became a little unclear, looked at his brother speechlessly.

"Besides, why did you start drinking? If grandpa knew about this, I'm afraid you would be hung up and beaten."

Xiao Hongchen was so frightened that his hands trembled, as if he remembered some tragic experience, but he still stubbornly retorted:

"I'm a soul master, how could this little bit of alcohol possibly affect me? Even if I drank a bucket of wine, I could still carve the core array of a soul guide without shaking my hands after returning."

Just when Xiao Hongchen was about to continue bragging, he suddenly noticed that his sister seemed to have become a little dazed, as if she had lost her soul, staring straight at the entrance of the banquet hall.

Following Meng Hongchen's gaze, one could see a young man slowly walking in from the entrance of the banquet hall.

The young man had long black hair and skin as white as jade. His ink-black formal attire gleamed with tiny silver lights under the light. He exuded a cool and otherworldly aura, seemingly out of tune with the hustle and bustle of the banquet hall.

When the other person's blue-gold eyes inadvertently swept over here, Meng Hongchen felt her heart skip a beat and her pretty face instantly became hot.

Huo Yuhao naturally noticed the other party's burning gaze. Following the line of sight, he saw the familiar girl staring at him blankly.

Looking at the other party's dazed look, Huo Yuhao's eyelids suddenly twitched.

In her previous life, Meng Hongchen fell in love at first sight with Wang Dong'er's appearance when she was dressed as a boy. Later, when she found out that Wang Dong'er's real identity was a girl, she was so shocked that she fainted.

After swallowing the cake in his mouth, Meng Hongchen murmured, "Brother, he must have been smiling at me just now, right? How can there be such a good-looking person in the world?"

When Xiao Hongchen heard this, his eyes suddenly turned red and he gasped like a cow.

Where did this pretty boy come from? How dare he seduce my sister!

Feeling Xiao Hongchen's murderous gaze, Huo Yuhao could only give this old rival from his previous life a polite but not awkward smile.

"Meng, that pretty boy's smile just now must have been a provocation to me."

Xiao Hongchen was furious and immediately put on a smile that he thought was cold and unruly.

As if this was not enough to express his disdain, he raised his right hand, turned his thumb downward, and made an extremely insulting gesture.

However, before he could continue to provoke, Meng Hongchen slapped the raised hand down.

"Brother, why are you being so rude? What if you scare her? I still want to make friends with her. Do you think Grandpa would agree to my marrying into the Douluo Empire? What surname should our child have in the future?"

Xiao Hongchen felt his head buzzing and he could hardly keep up with his sister's thoughts.

Making friends? Getting married? What's the child's last name?

Isn't my sister's thoughts jumping too fast?

Dream, wake up quickly!

You can tell at first glance that this pretty boy is not a good guy. Didn’t you see that as soon as he came in, there was already a group of girls surrounding him?

Looking at Xiao Hongchen, whose expression was already a little crazy, Meng Hongchen slightly restrained his somewhat wandering thoughts and said with a smile:

"I was just joking. Look, there are some orange cakes on the table across from me. How about you bring some over for me? You know I love oranges the most."

Xiao Hongchen looked at his sister, whose expression changed instantly. The corners of his mouth twitched fiercely, and he asked with some concern, "Were you really just joking just now? You're not going to run off to find that pretty boy as soon as I leave, are you?"

"How is that possible! Have you always looked at your sister like this? I'm a girl, very reserved."

Meng Hongchen curled his lips and muttered indignantly, as if the deep brother-sister relationship between them was seriously questioned at this moment.

Feeling his sister's dissatisfied gaze, Xiao Hongchen rubbed his hands and could only smile apologetically: "Then don't move around here. I'll bring you a new plate of orange cakes right away."

Looking at Xiao Hongchen's quickly departing back, the reservedness on Meng Hongchen's face disappeared without a trace in an instant.

She quickly took out a small and exquisite makeup box from her storage soul guide.

Although she still looked pretty and attractive in the mirror, she couldn't help but take out the tools inside and quickly put on some light makeup.

As for what I said to Xiao Hongchen just now, of course I lied to him.

Being reserved is not something you can eat. Don’t you see that there are already several bold girls over there who are about to touch that handsome boy?

Can this be tolerated?

Miss Meng quickly finished her makeup, took a deep breath, and was about to strike hard.

But the next second, deep doubts flashed in her blue eyes.

Where did I, such a handsome boy, go?

……

"Thank you for helping me out just now."

In a secluded corner of the banquet hall leading to the terrace, Huo Yuhao looked at Xu Jiujiu, who was wearing a noble purple evening gown and had long purple hair casually draped over her shoulders, and whispered his thanks.

"A top student from Shrek Academy would also feel overwhelmed by being surrounded by girls?" Xu Jiujiu chuckled softly, a hint of mockery in his eyes. "Rather, based on the rumors I heard before, I thought you were a seasoned womanizer and should have been used to staying out of the way of girls."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao's eyelids twitched.

The content of those rumors was indeed funny, but as the male protagonist in them, it really didn't make him happy at all, especially when he heard it from the mouth of Princess Xingluo.

Fortunately, most people didn't know that he was the center of the rumor, otherwise it might not have been just those girls who were watching him.

"Your Highness, you're joking, but I don't think you came to me just now just to talk to me about these things, right?"

Huo Yuhao calmly changed the subject.

Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Xu Jiujiu's gaze suddenly grew deep. She carefully sized up the young man before her, recalling his familiar yet distant behavior. She asked, "Have we met somewhere before?"

Although she is the sister of the current Xingluo Emperor and serves as the chief auctioneer in the Xingluo Auction House, she usually keeps a very low profile and most Xingluo nobles may not know her.

But the other person's behavior gave her the feeling that it was definitely not as simple as the two of them just nodding acquaintances who looked at each other from a distance.

Feeling the other party's inquiring gaze, Huo Yuhao's heart sank slightly.

This is also one of the reasons why he hates dealing with the imperial royal family, especially talking to the extremely shrewd Xu Jiujiu.

Huo Yuhao shook his head and said calmly, "I lived outside Xingluo City for a while before, so I've naturally heard of Your Highness's reputation, but Your Highness doesn't know me."

"Is that so?"

Xu Jiujiu's tone was somewhat meaningful. After hearing Huo Yuhao's simple explanation, he was not prepared to continue to delve into it. Instead, he showed a sly smile.

"Can you dance? I just helped you out, so it's reasonable for you to dance with me."

Dance?

Just like the outfit he was wearing, Huo Yuhao naturally had never learned how to wear this kind of clothing, which was only used during banquets. In his previous life, he had only seen a few people dance for him.

If he had to say what left the deepest impression on him, it was the Snow Queen's solo dance in the ice and snow in the far north. It was so cold and extraordinary that it seemed to freeze people's souls in its eternal beauty.

As if he saw the embarrassment on the boy's face, Xu Jiujiu stretched out his hand generously.

"Don't worry, it's not difficult. Just follow my movements."

While Huo Yuhao was still lost in his memories of the past, she grabbed his wrist and pulled him to the dance floor without saying a word.

Xu Jiawei, who was at the front of the banquet hall, chatting happily with many college teachers, saw this scene and a smile appeared on his face.

Although the teachers of Shrek Academy did not participate in the banquet, it was not a loss since the main person came.

He calmly winked at the court musicians beside him, and the originally peaceful and comfortable music suddenly changed to become passionate and rhythmic, instantly making the atmosphere on the scene become heated.

Chapter 149 Don’t want that kind of thing

In the center of the dance floor.

Xu Jiujiu turned around charmingly and was face to face with Huo Yuhao. She did not let go of the hand that was holding his, but raised it up, and the other hand lightly rested on his shoulder.

The moment their bodies were close, Xu Jiujiu lowered his voice: "From now on, just follow my movements and put your hands on my waist."

Huo Yuhao was a little confused and couldn't figure out the real purpose of Princess Xingluo for a moment.

His free hand almost subconsciously rested on Xu Jiujiu's soft and slender waist.

Even through the purple evening dress fabric, Huo Yuhao could still feel the warmth on the other person's waist.

Although Huo Yuhao's actions were not at all out of the ordinary, it was the first time for Xu Jiujiu to have such close contact with the opposite sex, and a slight blush appeared on her pretty cheeks.

But when she saw the boy opposite her looking even more helpless than herself, she couldn't help but chuckle.

"Then I'm going to start."
