A dance party wouldn’t be complete without the dancing part.
However, before the party officially starts, everyone has plenty of ti to socialize. This is also the intention of the hosts.
For them, how many deals are struck over drinks? And how many friends are made at parties?
It can be said that in the business world, such assemblies have beco a default networking platform.
The three won weren’t far from Li Chen, but aside from Ouyang Wan’er, the other two didn’t care about Li Chen at all. Out of boredom, they just went to the nearby table and started devouring the fruit platter.
During this ti, many people tried to chat them up, but not one succeeded.
"Hey there, beautiful."
Beside Jun Yuchi, a young man with well-defined features and a gentle smile spoke softly: "Why are you here alone?"
Jun Yuchi looked up and pointed behind herself, saying, "Are you blind? Don’t you see my sister and the others over there?"
The young man awkwardly scratched his nose, trying hard to dispel his embarrassnt. Just as he was about to speak again, a man’s voice ca from behind him: "Yu Chi, your Sister Kiki said she needs to talk to you."
"Oh!" Jun Yuchi responded and walked straight towards the direction of the Qilin Princess without even glancing at the young man.
Seeing Yu Chi walk away just like that, the young man’s face stiffened even more as he looked at the man who spoke earlier: "Friend, we’re just trying to make friends. What you did is a bit unfair, isn’t it?"
Li Chen smiled, showing his pearly white teeth: "This kid is still young. Without her elders around, as her brother, of course, I have to keep an eye on her."
"Oh, so you’re her brother..." The young man heaved a sigh of relief. "May I know your honorable na?"
"Li Chen," Li Chen chuckled.
"And your sister..."
Li Chen coughed lightly: "While it doesn’t really matter if I tell you, I must remind you she’s still underage. The sentence starts at three years, maximum is the death penalty, you know."
The young man’s face darkened, losing any interest to speak further with Li Chen, and he turned to leave.
"Hahaha!" Jun Yuchi’s excited laughter ca from behind Li Chen: "You, you’re really bad!"
"Just helping you out a bit," Li Chen laughed.
It was Jun Yuchi’s first ti here, and she’s not adept at handling such situations, so Li Chen ca to her rescue.
In truth, there were more n hovering around Ouyang Wan’er and the Qilin Princess. However, compared to Jun Yuchi, the two won were obviously much more experienced. Despite the group of n chattering for ages, not one could gain anything from them, not even a na.
After a while, when the three won all returned to Li Chen’s side, the attention naturally shifted towards him.
"What’s this guy’s deal, bringing such three outstanding won here?"
"And those three won seem totally devoted to him, while I’ve been trying beside them the whole ti, and didn’t even get a single benefit, not even a na!"
"Look at his clothes, probably just a few hundred bucks. Doesn’t look like soone with a big background," soone said with a hint of jealousy.
"I think this guy just ca to provoke us, and we haven’t seen him around before. Should we get soone to teach him a lesson?"
"Teach him? Aren’t you afraid he’s a dragon crossing the river?"
"Haven’t you heard? A strong dragon can’t beat a local snake!"
Li Chen was unaware that a group of young n from the business world was already targeting him. However, even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.
To him, this place is just a temporary stop. Plus, with the current capability of the Nether Army, just talking about business skills, these guys really aren’t much to him.
"It’s starting," Li Chen’s lips curved into a faint smile as he noticed the dimming lights. He then approached Ouyang Wan’er, gently bent over, and extended a hand.
This was the standard invitation to dance gesture, which Ouyang Wan’er naturally understood. When they were kids in the village, sotis they didn’t have much to play with, so Li Chen often brought so peculiar things over, including dance tapes.
Ouyang Wan’er skillfully placed her hand on Li Chen’s extended hand, and the two of them gracefully walked onto the dance floor.
Initially, Ouyang Wan’er was a bit stiff, as she hadn’t danced in years. However, she’s a Martial Artist, and after the initial adjustnt period, she gradually lted into the soft lody, dancing gracefully alongside Li Chen. As she twisted gracefully, the n around couldn’t help but stare.
Even those with partners kept sneaking glances.
"How was it?" Li Chen whispered in Ouyang Wan’er’s ear, gently holding her close.
Ouyang Wan’er leaned against Li Chen’s shoulder, her lips slightly parted. Li Chen could even feel the warm breath by his ear.
"Brother Li Chen, I’m really happy." Ouyang Wan’er smiled charmingly: "Seems like we haven’t danced like this in ages, right?"
"Yeah." Li Chen lightly patted Ouyang Wan’er’s back, a hint of apology appearing on his face.
Since he left Panlong Village, it felt as if he stepped into a completely different world, and he began drifting apart from Ouyang Wan’er.
There was a ti when Li Chen really felt that he was not suitable for Ouyang Wan’er.
Ouyang Wan’er is a good girl, a truly good girl.
And himself? A butcher with bloodied hands? Or a desperate rogue who’ll do anything to protect himself?
It’s not that Li Chen didn’t want to get along with Ouyang Wan’er. But whenever he saw the girl’s pure smiling face, he couldn’t help but feel inferior.
Where Ouyang Wan’er couldn’t see, Li Chen let out a soft sigh.
The music gradually stopped, the dance ended, and the two returned to the edge of the dance floor, where they saw peculiar expressions of delight on the faces of the Qilin Princess and Jun Yuchi.
"Sister Wan’er, you danced beautifully!" Jun Yuchi couldn’t help but grab Ouyang Wan’er excitedly: "Sister Wan’er, you must teach to dance when we go back!"
The Qilin Princess also seed tempted but hesitated for a mont and decided not to speak.
However, at this mont, Li Chen walked to the Qilin Princess and extended his hand again. Under the stunned gazes of the group, Li Chen naturally said: "This experience, Wan’er has already tasted it. You can’t miss out either, right?"
