--- Chapter 268 ---
Java Island, Elegant Mermaid Hall.
The guests arrived one after another, wearing their best dresses and suits for the Continental Spirit Academy Tournament's opening party. Some even wore their academy's formal uniforms to attend the party.
As the one who planned the opening party, Liu Mei stood at the entrance of Elegant Mermaid Hall. She's wearing a purple one-piece dress that strikes one's heart like lightning and matching crystal-high heels that enhance her white, long legs.
Her long, dark purple hair was neatly styled with waves, which gave one impression of falling waterfalls. Overall, Liu Mei looks like a noblewoman with overbearing professionalism.
Any guests who came in couldn't help but take several looks at her.
After all, the infamous Queen of Thunder is much more beautiful than the rumors say. Giving her the title Goddess of Thunder wasn't far-fetched either."Master isn't here." Liu Mei checked her smartwatch, which showed that the opening party would start in fifteen minutes. "He should have arrived with the Shrek Academy's group, but I don't see him with them."
"He won't forget about our promise, right?"
Thinking about this, even the Queen of Thunder couldn't help but become nervous.
"Hello, there." A feminine voice awakened her.
"M-Mistress Yun'er, you're here?" Liu Mei shifted her eyes from the holographic screen and was shocked to see Huo Yun'er.
Huo Yun'er wore her white dress and low heels. Although her outfits look nothing special, they enhance her natural beauty even more.
Mother Fox smiled teasingly, "What, I can't be here?"
"As the Dragon Nest's representative, I had to attend the opening party, or else people would think I'm rude."
Mistress, what are you even saying? Those mortals cannot possibly harm you.
Behind Huo Yun'er, Scathach and Qianye Ying'er stood with a funny smile on their faces.
The God Slayer modeled a red dress that wrapped her body and curves wonderfully. With matching red high heels, her black stockings and long gloves made her charm burst with braveness.
On the other hand, Qianye Ying'er wore a golden dress with a puffy skirt that matched her golden hair. Her creamy thighs were 'brazenly' exposed, leaving one with little to no imagination. Like Huo Yun'er, she wore low heels with a butterfly pattern.
"Hehe, are you waiting for Yuhao?" Scathach chuckled while tapping her heels against the ground.
"I have bad news for you. Yuhao wouldn't be going for a particular reason."
"Eh?!" Liu Mei was shocked. She stared at Scathach's red eyes, trying to find a sign of fraud.
However, Scathach smiled and didn't show any facial changes. No matter how strong the Queen of Thunder was, she couldn't see through the God Slayer.
Their experience is on a 'completely' different level.
"No way, did he forget?" Liu Mei looks downcasted immediately.
'Look what have you done to her?' Qianye Ying'er nudged Scathach's arm with her elbow.
Even without Qianye Ying'er reminding her, Scathach has already felt bad for teasing Liu Mei too much. However, she quickly hid any complex emotions as this was necessary to set the stage.
Huo Yun'er shook her head gently, "Well, Liu Mei, we will enter the hall earlier than you."
"See you inside." Huo Yun'er, Scathach, and Qianye Ying'er walked into the Elegant Mermaid Hall.
Qianye Ying'er glanced at Liu Mei's lonely figure, "What a lucky woman you're, Sister Mei, but you deserved it."
On the other hand, Liu Mei felt overwhelmingly sad inside because she should have known that a busy person like Master Yuhao wouldn't have time for her.
Although small, tears have accumulated in the corner of her eyes. She bit her lips indignantly and suddenly felt someone rub the tears away.
It was a gentle rub and filled with affection.
"Why are you crying?"
"Aih, you're not children anymore."
Liu Mei looked up and saw smiling Huo Yuhao.
Her eyes widened in disbelief at his appearance.
Huo Yuhao wore a navy blue suit(consisting of a navy blue jacket, gray waistcoat and shirt, matching pants, and gray tie) and black shoes.
His blue hair was 'slickly' swept back, allowing his angular and sharp features to be more pronounced.
"What's the matter? You look like someone who hasn't seen a handsome man before." Huo Yuhao teased with a smile.
"I-I thought you wouldn't come." Liu Mei pouted slightly.
"Who said that?"
"Uh, Instructor Scathach."
"And you believe her?"
"This..." Liu Mei was overwhelmed by sadness earlier and couldn't think straight. Now that she thought about it, Scathach was teasing her.
"Pfft, haha~! Mei, Mei, you're so adorable." Huo Yuhao pinched the Queen of Thunder's nose gently.
"D-Don't laugh, ah, I'm so embarrassed." Liu Mei covered her blushing face.
Huo Yuhao chuckled and praised honestly, "You look beautiful tonight, Mei."
"Thank you, Master. But does this mean that I'm not beautiful aside tonight?" She put on a stubborn look, which left him speechless.
"Okay, don't tease me back." Huo Yuhao sighed. "And we are late to the party."
"Are you going?" He extended his hand to her.
Liu Mei looked at Huo Yuhao's hand and took it happily, "Let's go!"
She hugged Huo Yuhao's arm and walked inside the Elegant Mermaid Hall with him triumphantly. She glanced at her partner tonight and found him more attractive as she breathed in his presence.
After so long, this is what she wanted.
...
Elegant Mermaid Hall is a massive banquet hall planned to receive people on Java Island. Tonight, it would be a room for talented youths from all over the Douluo Continent to meet and socialize for the first time.
The hall is very grand and vast, having furnished walls and floor. There are also three silver pillars supporting the whole place and also act as the source of light. Surprisingly, these light sources are controlled efficiently and won't affect anyone inside.
Chandeliers hung on the roof. Each had several colorful crystal lights as decorations, which were actually a sound system and recording device for a 'certain' purpose.
Mahogany tables filled with food and encircled by chairs were 'naturally' set according to the guests, which exceeds a thousand, if not two thousand, tonight.
A gorgeous mermaid sculpture stood firmly in the center, catching everyone's attention like a fire to moths.
Youths and elders who protected them are busy talking with each other.
That's until the sound system announced the arrival of someone.
"Attention~! Attention~! Dragon Nest's representatives have entered the hall!" A pleasant voice of Giana entered their ears.
Clop! Clop!
Everyone instinctively parted to the sides and watched a goddess walk inside the Elegant Mermaid Hall. Her foxy yet seductive appearance invited lust and admiration from the guests.
However, their shock has yet to come to an end.
Another goddess in a red dress entered their vision.
Unlike the first goddess, she looks more menacing and cold, as if she doesn't care about their ant-like lives. She's here for fun anyway.
Then, the third goddess arrived and mesmerized everyone with her innocent look. Unknown to them, this one is even more dangerous than the previous two.
Some guests recognized these goddesses but kept their mouths shut as the main character had yet to arrive. What a group of ignorant fools. They didn't know the true leader of the Dragon Nest!
At this very moment, Giana's pleasant voice rang again.
"Attention~! Attention~! Dragon Nest's Zero Disciple and Queen of Thunder have entered the hall!"
Clop!
Clop!
Clop!
The sound of steps entered everyone's ears.
They moved their gazes from the goddesses unwillingly and focused on the entrance of Elegant Mermaid Hall. For men and women, young and old, this was an unforgettable sight in their lives.
A handsome young man and thunderous goddess entered the hall with confidence. Fated for each other is the only description one could use to describe their joint appearance.
One is tall and handsome, and the other is stunning and magnetic.
"Well, let's start the party." Said the handsome young man.
