Chapter 143: Not an unexpected surprise!
Dimidar was initially a bit disappointed, but upon hearing Tyr’s voice, he immediately perked up. He wanted to see how the other would be rejected. The moment his face turned into a pig’s liver was the most hilarious.
Almost under the gaze that treated him like a dragon slayer, Tyr confidently strode to Yuehai’s side.
He performed a standard invitation to dance, extending his right hand, smiling as he responded.
“Beautiful miss, may I invite you to dance?”
His voice wasn’t loud, but those who were attentive all turned their gaze toward him.
Whether it was Claude or Xuelian, Diaz or Jinlisi, Duke Falexis, and even Laogeri and Nicholas, all involuntarily looked over here. For a moment, Tyr felt as if he was attracting attention from the whole world, a feeling that surpassed facing billions on a stage.
As Yuehai, she first pretended to be stunned for a moment, then without hesitation, extended her slender right hand and placed it on Tyr’s palm, smiling as she replied.
“Yes, Mr. 123.”
At that moment, Dimidar could hardly believe his ears, and his noble friends beside him were equally incredulous. Diaz and Leia immediately halted their dance steps, while the nobles and even the imperial-level warriors who had previously invited Yuehai to dance displayed mixed reactions. Duke Falexis and others seemed not too concerned, but they were clearly puzzled.
On Claude’s side, he felt an inexplicable pang in his heart, the suffocating sensation making him very uncomfortable. However, with Xuelian by his side, he couldn’t act recklessly. As for Miss Xuelian, she was already overjoyed, thinking that Yuehai was indeed something else, starting to flirt with someone right in front of Claude. Little did she know, Yuehai was actually enticing herself.
“This, this can’t be happening!” Dimidar exclaimed, his voice trembling. However, the reality had already unfolded, with the people around either showing pity or eagerly anticipating the spectacle. Each face tore at Dimidar’s heart. His noble friends beside him seemed to pretend not to recognize him, engaging happily in conversation with other friends. Dimidar suddenly felt his blood boil. If it weren’t for the somber old man behind him helping to suppress his emotions with perception, he might have lost half his life to a heart attack from sheer rage.
Tyr continued to smile, neither ecstatic nor overly excited about Yuehai’s acceptance, maintaining a calm demeanor. The black half-mask he wore only added to the curiosity surrounding him, with envy being the predominant sentiment.
Perhaps because it was Yuehai’s first time entering the dance floor, all the musicians suddenly changed the tune from before, opting for a fast-paced and exhilarating rhythm. Despite this new music, the nobles still showcased remarkable dancing skills. However, all eyes were on Yuehai and Tyr. Though their steps were simple, their status as warriors endowed them with a mysterious and captivating allure when coupled with their movements. For a moment, the entire audience applauded for Tyr and Yuehai, and a few even whistled in admiration.
The sensation of being watched like a rare animal made Tyr extremely uncomfortable. While a short tune quietly passed, the crowd’s reactions were mixed. Even Jinlisi felt a surge of indignation for reasons she couldn’t quite fathom. She wondered if Yuehai was truly as remarkable as everyone seemed to think. At the same time, she casually declined an invitation from a gentleman.
As the dance came to an end, Tyr bowed slightly to Yuehai, who reciprocated with a nod.
Everyone praised incessantly, with some even wishing they could become Tyr for just a moment, even if it meant touching Yuehai’s hand for a second.
However, in the midst of this attention, Tyr stumbled, feeling a sense of confusion as to how he could trip on flat ground. As he attempted to regain his footing, he suddenly realized that his body couldn’t move. What was even more horrifying was that Yuehai, beside him, was also immobilized. In front of everyone’s gaze, Tyr’s stumble resulted in him inadvertently falling on top of the motionless Yuehai, and both of them collapsed to the ground.
Not far away, Xuelian glanced at the dumbfounded Claude and secretly rejoiced. She gripped the key in her hand and couldn’t help but feel the urge to burst into laughter.
Little did Xuelian know that the Duke Falexis’s gift of the advanced national artifact, the “Fixed Void Key,” would prove effective at this moment! First, she immobilized Tyr’s right foot, causing him to fall towards Yuehai. Then, she immobilized both of them simultaneously, intending to create an unexpected incident that would make Claude disillusioned with Yuehai! It’s a pity that Yuehai’s movements were too difficult to control at the time. Otherwise, having Yuehai throw herself towards Tyr would have made the scene even more perfect!
As Xuelian secretly praised the success of her plan, little did she know that this unexpected turn of events, which wasn’t part of her plan, caused Tyr to land on top of Yuehai. In front of everyone’s eyes, in a moment of carelessness, they ended up kissing each other!
Claude instantly petrified, as if a gentle breeze could turn him into powder and scatter him in the wind~
Not just him, but everyone else also froze in place.
For a moment, even Duke Falexis was dumbfounded.
