Even though Xu Xingyu was extremely reluctant to invite Xu Jiujiu, he finally looked at Gu Yuena with an apologetic look, and then took Xu Jiujiu's soft little hand.
Then he responded in an extremely gentlemanly manner: "I do."
Although Gu Yuena on the side felt a little uncomfortable, she still used her mental power to send a message to Xu Xingyu that after the dance, she must dance with herself.
Xu Xingyu could only use his mental power to quickly respond that he would definitely dance with Gu Yuena. In other words, dancing with Gu Yuena was what he was most looking forward to at this banquet.
After receiving such a response, Gu Yuena walked to the dining table with satisfaction and started eating, just to kill some time while waiting for Xu Xingyu to finish dancing.
Speaking of which, the dishes prepared for this banquet are not ordinary things. Many of them are meat provided by soul beasts, and the vegetables are made from rare herbs. The same is true for the snacks.
This shows how hard the chefs at Xingluo worked at this banquet.
As the king of soul beasts, Gu Yuena did not comment on the fact that Xing Luo's chef used soul beast meat, but instead started to eat it with relish.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. The world of soul beasts is a world where the weak can eat the strong. It is completely normal for soul beasts to eat other soul beasts, let alone top-level soul beasts like the Dragon Clan.
Even though Gu Yuena basically cultivates in the Lake of Life all year round and feeds on the spiritual fruits produced by the Lake of Life every day, this does not mean that she is averse to eating meat.
Xu Xingyu on the side couldn't help but sigh when he saw Gu Yuena who had started to eat. It seemed that it was shown in the original novel that Gu Yuena was an invisible foodie.
Its appetite is also second only to Tang Wulin, who has absorbed the blood of the Golden Dragon King, and Tang Xuanyu, the dog with the blood of the Dragon God.
However, unlike these two people, she can actually absorb the soul power of heaven and earth to replace her food intake, so she does not have to eat to fill her stomach.
It's just that this method lacks spiritual satisfaction, so she still likes to eat when she can.
Fortunately, she still pays great attention to etiquette when eating, so she didn't attract too much attention from others after turning into a ruthless rice cook.
Back to Xu Xingyu, he had already started their first dance with Xu Jiujiu.
Accompanied by music, the two began their own movement.
Dancing is an art, it is the rhythm of human life, and it is also an expression of human joy and sorrow.
At this time, Xu Xingyu and Xu Jiujiu also perfectly expressed this art to everyone.
Dancing under the light of the lights, Xu Jiujiu's elegant figure fluttered like a beautiful butterfly, twisting her waist like a graceful wicker.
As the dance version, Xu Xingyu is also like an excellent gentleman, as if he can think of her thoughts before she makes a move, and then coordinate with the other party's dance moves in a timely manner.
Soon the two people became the center of the banquet, and the staff in charge of the lighting was also attracted by the two people's dancing, and unconsciously kept shining the light on the two people who were still dancing.
The two of them ignored the discussions of the people around them, and instead began to chat among themselves.
"Hey, I didn't expect that as the young tower master of Qi Ling Pagoda, you would have the leisure to learn to dance! I thought you would put all your focus on rectifying Qi Ling Pagoda and your own cultivation."
You must know that before dancing, Xu Xingyu danced with Xu Xingyu with the awareness that he would be stepped on tonight. Who knew that Xu Xingyu was like a dance king without making any unnecessary movements, perfectly matching Xu Xingyu's own performance?
dance.
Xu Xingyu just responded helplessly: "There is no way, I am also from a noble background, and I have learned most of the things that nobles must learn before awakening the martial arts, including the art of dancing.
I just don’t know if I’m a little rusty after not dancing for so long.”
It was obvious that Xu Xingyu didn't particularly want to recall that time. Although he was only six years old at that time, his soul had already been thinking like a Blue Star college student.
Under such circumstances, learning the aristocratic etiquette similar to that of Blue Star in the Middle Ages was a painful past for Xu Xingyu.
However, Xu Jiujiu still praised: "In my opinion, you have done a good job, and even so, I can feel that you have your own enthusiasm in dancing, and you are not rigidly following the content in the textbook.
.”
"It is truly an honor for me to be praised by the princess."
The two of them chatted and danced until the music stopped.
After the dance, the two of them found a place to sit and rest under the applause of the crowd. Xu Xingyu thought that he would have a dance with Gu Yuena later and felt that today would be very long.
In his previous life, he had no interest in dancing. Now, at most, he has only studied it systematically in this life, with no intention of studying it in depth.
It was at this moment that Xu Xingyu suddenly remembered a question that he had wanted to ask the other party before. Xu Xingyu looked at Xu Jiujiu in confusion and asked: "Why should we expose our engagement?"
You must know that although the previous engagement between Xu Xingyu and Xu Jiujiu existed, it was not publicized to any great extent.
Part of the reason is because Xu Xingyu is not the only girl named Xu Jiujiu, and part of the reason is because of Qi Ling Pagoda's current neutral stance.
Once Xu Xingyu really marries this princess, Qiling Pagoda is likely to lose its current neutral position, because marrying another princess is a sign of favoring Xingluo.
This is why Xu Xingyu has actually been thinking about whether he can break the engagement made by his grandfather and the previous emperor.
As a result, things turned out better for Jiujiu Jiu. The banquet exposed the relationship between the two of them as an unmarried couple. Now it would be difficult to break off the engagement.
At this, Xu Jiujiu smiled bitterly and said: "I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, after this competition, I will no longer be the princess of the Star Luo Empire."
"Ha?!?" At this time, Xu Xingyu's heart was full of doubts. If you weren't such a good princess, why would you suddenly be abolished?
At this time, Xu Jiujiu explained: "I have always been curious about why you have never had anyone to choose me as your fiancée. At first, I thought it was because you felt that my strength and talent were insufficient, so you wanted to prove yourself in this competition.
Strength."
"However, after this semi-final, I thought about it carefully and found that you are actually troubled by Qiling Pagoda's own position."
"So after I discussed it with my royal brother, the two of us decided to temporarily abolish my status as a princess during this competition. And this will continue until you think that Qiling Pagoda can have a deeper cooperation with Xingluo.
During this period, I will simply act as a liaison between your Qi Spirit Pagoda and the Xingluo royal family. During this period, you can also ask me to sign your Qi Spirit Pagoda’s unique contract, guaranteeing that I will not reveal any secrets of your Qi Spirit Pagoda.
