Chapter 149 No such thing!
In the center of the dance floor.
With a graceful turn, she was face to face with Huo Yuhao. She held his hand tightly, raising it instead, and placed her other hand lightly on his shoulder.
As their bodies drew close, Xu Jiu lowered his voice and said, "From now on, all you have to do is follow my movements and put your hands on my waist."
Huo Yuhao was somewhat bewildered, and for a moment he still couldn't figure out the true purpose of this Star Luo princess.
His free hand almost unconsciously rested on Xu Jiujiu's soft and slender waist.
Even through the purple evening gown fabric, Huo Yuhao could still feel the warmth around the other person's waist.
Although Huo Yuhao's actions were not out of line at all, it was the first time that Xu Jiujiu had such close contact with a woman, and a slight blush appeared on her pretty cheeks.
But when she saw the boy opposite her looking even more flustered than she was, she couldn't help but chuckle.
"Then I'll begin."
Before she finished speaking, a gentle force came from her hands, propelling Huo Yuhao's body. With an elegant gliding step, her beautiful long purple hair fluttered behind her, tracing a graceful arc.
Although Huo Yuhao couldn't dance, as a spirit-attribute soul master, he could forcibly memorize even those extremely complex core magic arrays in a short period of time, not to mention that the dance steps taught by Xu Jiujiu were not complicated.
Before long, under Xu Jiujiu's guidance, he gradually caught up with the rhythm, and his initially awkward steps became more and more skillful.
Xu Jiujiu's movements became increasingly agile, her purple skirt fluttering in the dance floor, making her resemble a bewitching yet noble violet blooming in the night.
After a rotation and position change, Xu Jiujiu's waist bent backward, forming a stunning arc, while Huo Yuhao subconsciously leaned forward and used his arms to support her steadily.
The two locked eyes, so close they could feel each other's breath.
After a long silence, she chuckled softly, "It seems you have quite a talent for dancing, or is it because I'm such a good teacher?"
In this respect, Xu Jiujiu's words were not simply flattery.
Although she only taught the most basic royal court dance steps, the speed at which the other person mastered them completely exceeded her expectations.
Even in that brief contact, she could clearly sense that the other person's reaction speed and physical coordination were astonishingly high.
Now she understood somewhat why Huo Yuhao was able to be selected for Shrek Academy's regular team at such a young age. Judging from his performance just now, his talent as a Soul Master was probably unparalleled.
"Your Highness is too kind," Huo Yuhao said with a sigh as the two separated slightly from each other with the next dance step, his calm tone breaking the previously romantic atmosphere.
"As I just said, Your Highness wouldn't have sought me out just for a dance, would you?"
"A man who doesn't understand romance isn't popular with girls." Xu Jiu's figure moved closer to Huo Yuhao again, following the rhythm of the dance. "If I told you this was my first time dancing with a woman, would you dance with me a little longer?"
Meanwhile, Xiao Hongchen, carrying a plate of orange pastries, looked like a lonely old man as he struggled through the crowd, searching for his lost sister. Finally, he spotted her at the other end of the dance floor.
"Dream, didn't you promise you wouldn't run off? What are you doing...?"
Before he could utter a word of rebuke, Xiao Hongchen choked on his words when he saw his younger sister looking like she was about to bite her handkerchief and cry.
"Brother, do you think that girl has been harassing the guy? I feel like the guy seems a bit unhappy with her. Look, his brows are all furrowed."
"If I were to poison that woman and knock her unconscious, would that count as saving a damsel in distress? In that situation, wouldn't she be willing to repay me with her body?"
Meng Hongchen's already low spirits grew even more agitated, and her azure eyes began to subtly turn blood-red.
Compared to being trapped in fantasy, unable to extricate oneself from the mortal world.
Xiao Hongchen's fist hardened again.
That damn pretty boy, it's one thing to be dancing with other women, but he's also trying to seduce his own innocent and naive younger sister, isn't he?
My own sister is saying such inappropriate things now, is that even acceptable?
Xiao Hongchen finally couldn't bear to look at his sister's shameful appearance any longer. He lowered his voice and almost gritted his teeth as he cursed:
"Meng Hongchen, calm down! As the heirs of the Hongchen family, we can't lose our dignity because of some pretty boy."
Meng Hongchen ignored Xiao Hongchen's anger, but couldn't help biting her lower lip, her azure eyes fixed on the two dancing in the dance floor.
"That woman was touching me inappropriately. I felt like she was pinching me so hard it hurt. She really doesn't know how to be gentle at all."
Seeing the hand that suddenly appeared in front of her and was waving back and forth, Meng Hongchen said impatiently, "Brother, please don't bother me. I'll be satisfied if I just take a few more glances here."
Looking at his younger sister's stubborn and unyielding attitude, Xiao Hongchen felt so frustrated he almost vomited blood.
Can someone be this humble after never having spoken a single word to the other person, or even knowing their name?
Is that pretty boy really that handsome?
Can being handsome put food on the table?
In the world of Soul Masters, the world must ultimately be spoken in the way of Soul Masters.
As if realizing what Xiao Hongchen was thinking, Meng Hongchen finally shifted his gaze from the dance floor to his brother.
"Brother, do you think that even though you're not as handsome as him, your strength as a Soul Master and Soul Instructor is definitely superior?"
Upon hearing Meng Hongchen bluntly expose what she was thinking, Xiao Hongchen's face instantly turned bright red.
He was about to demonstrate in detail from all aspects that he was far superior to that pretty boy who had appeared out of nowhere.
Before he could even speak, he saw Meng Hongchen staring at him with hopeful eyes.
Xiao Hongchen's heart skipped a beat, and a very ominous premonition suddenly surged up.
"You don't actually want me... to help you pursue that pretty boy, do you?"
Meng Hongchen nodded.
"Don't even think about it."
Xiao Hongchen's face turned as black as a pot lid.
Xiao Hongchen knew that it was only a matter of time before his younger sister fell in love with someone else, but helping his younger sister chase another man with his own hands was the ultimate insult for any brother.
With a dark expression, Xiao Hongchen reached out to drag Meng Hongchen away from this place of trouble.
That pretty boy is probably a student from some academy. When the Soul Master Competition comes around, I'll let him know that being good-looking doesn't mean you can do whatever you want.
In the world of Soul Masters, might makes right!
"Brother, you don't think I'm just throwing myself at someone because they're good-looking, do you? I'm a girl, I'm very reserved."
Meng Hongchen frowned slightly, expressing strong dissatisfaction with Xiao Hongchen's behavior.
Xiao Hongchen stopped what he was doing, paused for a moment, and then squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth, "What you said sounds familiar. Didn't you just say that to me?"
"I only came over for a stroll because you were taking too long to get your things. And then I saw this kind of thing happen in broad daylight, under the clear blue sky. Don't you think I should be a little angry?"
In order to fight for her future happiness, Meng Hongchen has gone all out and speaks her mind without hesitation.
Xiao Hongchen was so angry at Meng Hongchen's shameless words that he trembled all over and turned completely red.
"Meng Hongchen, even if that pretty boy gets dragged into a dark room and ravaged by dozens of women, it has nothing to do with you! If you dare to cause trouble again, I'll go back and tell Grandpa."
"Brother, look at you, you're getting impatient again. Why are you always in such a hurry? You won't even let me finish what I have to say."
Looking at his brother's furious look, Meng Hongchen tilted his head and his expression instantly became serious.
The latest novel is first published here!
"The reason I care so much about that boy isn't just because he's good-looking. I'm thinking about the future of our Hongchen family. If Grandpa knew, he would definitely support me."
Looking at Meng Hongchen's serious expression, as if she were completely unmoved by male beauty, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Is there something I don't know about here?
Seeing that Xiao Hongchen's emotions had calmed down a bit, Meng Hongchen softly revealed:
"I just felt a stirring in my own martial soul. That boy's martial soul must be of very high quality and perfectly suited to mine. Who knows, maybe we could even have a martial soul fusion skill?"
Martial Soul Fusion Technique?
Upon hearing Meng Hongchen's words, Xiao Hongchen was immediately shocked.
I don't want my sister to have a martial soul fusion skill with someone else!
"No! You and I are siblings. Only those with similar martial soul origins can possess martial soul fusion skills."
Xiao Hongchen's face darkened again after reacting to this shocking news.
"A pretty boy who popped out of nowhere, and he can even have a Spirit Fusion Technique with you? You can sense it, but why don't I, your own brother who has a Spirit Fusion Technique with you, feel anything at all? If you're going to make up an excuse to lie to me, at least use one that I won't expose on the spot, okay?"
Meng Hongchen rolled her eyes and said irritably:
"Brother, you yourself said that we have a martial soul fusion skill because we are similar in bloodline and our martial souls are both toads.
That logic is correct, but you've overlooked another possibility. What if that boy had a similar martial soul attribute to me?
Even the highest quality ice-attribute martial soul wouldn't cause me this much excitement. His martial soul must be extremely special, like mine, belonging to the category of ice and fire originating from the same source.
At this point, Meng Hongchen's tone carried a hint of relief.
At least his older brother didn't experience the same inexplicable flutter as he did, ruling out the possibility that the other person was his father's illegitimate son, and he wouldn't develop any inexplicable brotherly feelings for his brother in the future.
What does this tell us?
This means that the other person is your destined child!
Thinking of this, Meng Hongchen's heart pounded uncontrollably.
If she could get rid of the other party, she would write Meng Hongchen's name backwards from now on.
The only thing to consider is how to get around Xiao Hongchen, the biggest obstacle, so that he won't interfere with her life's most important event.
Fortunately, the clever Miss Meng had already devised a whole set of smooth little combos.
"These are all just your guesses. I think you are still deceiving me."
Xiao Hongchen shook his head and sneered, "Meng, you'd better come back with me obediently. As for what kind of martial soul that boy has, we'll find out during the Soul Master Competition. There's no need for you to worry about it here."
"Wrong, wrong, wrong. You're oversimplifying things."
Meng Hongchen stretched out her index finger and shook it gently, then snorted coldly, "By the time of the Soul Master Competition, it will be too late! How am I supposed to leave a unique impression on him, how am I supposed to lure him into our Hongchen family?"
"Brother, you wouldn't want Grandpa to know that you let go of someone who is a top genius in our Hongchen family, would you? Not to mention that he and your sister might very well possess a Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
Xiao Hongchen's face darkened; he finally understood Meng Hongchen's meaning. Seeing his younger sister's determined expression, he gritted his teeth and said...
"Since you're so confident, let's make a bet. If that boy's martial soul attribute is indeed as you said, and you can really have a martial soul fusion skill with him, I will not only not stop you from pursuing that boy, but I will even speak well of you two in front of Grandpa in the future."
Xiao Hongchen naturally understands the principle that it is better to guide than to block, and Meng Hongchen is now in this absent-minded state.
If I were to forcibly drag her away, given her personality, she would immediately come up with a hundred ways to sneak out.
If things escalate and she elopes with that pretty boy, I'm afraid my grandfather will hang me up and beat me when I get back.
Hearing this, Meng Hongchen's eyes lit up. She obviously didn't expect that Xiao Hongchen was more sensible than she thought.
"Don't be too happy yet," Xiao Hongchen sneered, adding, "If that boy is completely different from what you said, you'll leave with me immediately and stay far away from him from now on. Grandpa will absolutely not agree to you marrying into the Douluo Three Kingdoms."
Even if that boy's martial soul really is of the ice and fire attribute, it's impossible for him to simply possess a martial soul fusion skill. Meng Hongchen is clearly too naive.
Looking at Xiao Hongchen's confident expression, Meng Hongchen couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
Clearly, his foolish older brother didn't know what a destined lover was, and who knows, maybe his and the other person's martial soul compatibility was 100%.
Both men, each with their own ideas, wore confident expressions, clearly believing they were certain of victory.
Xiao Hongchen reverted to his usual aloof demeanor and said in a deep voice, "You've been watching here for so long, you should have figured out a way to get close to them by now."
"Of course." A sly smile curved Meng Hongchen's lips. "From now on, you just need to follow my instructions, and there definitely won't be any problems."
Based on her fifteen years of experience reading romance novels, Meng Hongchen swore that it was now her turn to strike hard.
Seeing her younger sister's overly excited appearance, Xiao Hongchen suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.
Will nothing major go wrong next?
