Chapter 208 Engagement Exposed
With the appearance of Xu Xingyu and Gu Yuena, while the people around them were admiring them, some people still recognized them as the young master and master of the Qi Ling Tower.
Therefore, after a series of attempts, he quickly stepped forward and tried to show goodwill to Xu Xingyu and the others, as if he wished that his family could establish a closer relationship with the Qi Ling Tower.
Since Gu Yuena is still not very good at dealing with this kind of things at this stage, she generally leaves it to Xu Xingyu to solve. She tries her best to agree with him and also learn a little bit about the communication methods between humans.
During this process, countless people invited Xu Xingyu or Gu Yuena to dance with them, but both of them refused and rejected these invitations on the grounds that they already had dance partners.
Overall, Xu Xingyu felt that this banquet was quite good. It was a long-awaited chance to relax. As for Gu Yuena, she was very happy as long as she could accompany Xu Xingyu.
It was at this time that the shouts of the crowd rang out again. After feeling the familiar breath, Xu Xingyu knew that the host of the banquet had finally arrived.
The Xingluo Emperor Xu Jiawei officially appeared, and next to him was Princess Xu Jiujiu, who was wearing a gorgeous purple dress.
Looking at Xu Jiujiu who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, Xu Xingyu couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "She is worthy of being the princess of the Xing Luo Empire. You can tell from her clothes that those are definitely not clothes that ordinary people can buy."
That's right. As the princess of the Xingluo Empire, Xu Jiujiu is wearing this dress. Anyone with eyes can tell how expensive this dress is.
It was a cloth made from the hair of an extremely rare soul beast called the Star Sheep.
The so-called star sheep is a nearly extinct soul beast. It is not very powerful in attack and likes to live in high mountains close to the starry sky.
Although Star Sheep are a kind of soul beast with low offensive properties, the defensive properties they provide to cats are extremely strong.
Not only does it have good elasticity and toughness, it also has excellent soul power conductivity. It can also achieve functions such as fire prevention, ice prevention, and poison prevention.
It's just that because the wool of the star sheep has such characteristics, you are not allowed to use soul power to cut it when shearing the wool, otherwise it will be impossible to cut it.
However, even so, the wool of the star sheep is still sought after by countless nobles, not only because of its excellent protective ability, but also because wearing its hair will give people a feeling of superiority.
There is nothing we can say but human greed is endless. Even if they know that this may lead to the extinction of a race in their hands, they will still carry out the greed in their hearts.
Just like the humans in the past who constantly hunted soul beasts to obtain suitable soul rings and soul bones in order to achieve breakthroughs.
Things are better now because the soul method advocated by Xu Xingyu is more complete than the soul system in the original work, and can truly allow humans and soul beasts to obtain equal benefits.
However, this behavior ultimately only transfers the greed of the human race to other places. If this soul system is not guided in the future, it may become the root cause of the extinction of soul beasts like in the original work.
Therefore, this further strengthened Xu Xingyu's determination to guide the Spirit Contracting Tower well. She might not want to be like Huo Yuhao in the original novel who built the Herald Tower and then simply abandoned it without caring about any responsibilities.
Gu Yuena, on the other hand, was focusing on something else. She complained in a low voice, "We shouldn't have used purple when designing clothes for Xingyu. Wouldn't this pairing make Xingyu and that princess look like a perfect couple?"
That's right, what she cared more about than the material of Xu Jiujiu's clothes was the fact that the clothes unexpectedly matched the suit she designed for Xu Xingyu.
But there is no way around it. Although Gu Yuena is somewhat tolerant of Xu Xingyu having multiple women, as a woman she will also be jealous.
Therefore, she attaches great importance to her identity as Xu Xingyu's official girlfriend and future wife.
As a result, this latecomer happened to be wearing clothes similar to Xu Xingyu's, which made it seem like she was the latecomer!
While the two were still thinking about their own things, Xu Jiawei's voice began to be heard: "Everyone is welcome to accept our invitation to attend this banquet. I sincerely hope that everyone will enjoy this banquet."
After Xu Jiawei's subtle remarks, the banquet officially began and music from professional instrumentalists began to resound throughout the hall.
As the music started, many people began to dance with their partners.
Xu Xingyu looked at everyone who had already started dancing, and decided to invite Gu Yuena to dance with her.
However, just when he was about to speak, Xu Jiujiu appeared near him at some point, and just when Xu Xingyu felt something was wrong, Xu Jiujiu spoke.
She smiled and said, "My dear fiancé, would you like to dance with me, your little princess?"
Sure enough, things were as troublesome as he had imagined, because when Xu Jiujiu used the word "fiancé" to describe him, some of the nobles around him were also greatly surprised.
After all, before this, only some high-ranking ministers or the Duke of White Tiger, who had a good relationship with the emperor, knew something about the engagement between Xu Xingyu and Xu Jiujiu.
Therefore, there were only some gossips circulating among the nobles, and not many people believed that this matter was true.
But now Xu Jiujiu's call of "fiancé" has made those people realize that the previous rumor was not false but real!
You must know that Princess Xu Jiujiu can be said to be the apple of the eye of the entire Xingluo Empire. As the most beloved daughter of the previous emperor and the most trusted sister of the current emperor, her status is above everyone else.
Such a person actually got engaged to someone quietly!
However, they felt relieved when they thought that the person they were engaged to was Xu Xingyu, the young master of Qi Ling Pagoda.
It is true that an ordinary person would not be worthy of Xu Jiujiu, the princess of the Xingluo Empire, but Xu Xingyu, the young master of the Qi Ling Tower, is absolutely qualified.
After years of development, the Qi Ling Tower has become the strongest force in Douluo Continent. It is not only backed by the soul beast clan, but also by countless forces and families that submit to the majesty of the Qi Ling Tower.
Among them is the Haotian Sect, which was the leader of the top three sects that supported the Xingluo Empire ten thousand years ago and possesses the Haotian Hammer, the world's number one weapon spirit!
With such an identity, it is no longer a question of whether the other party is worthy of their Princess, but rather a question of whether their Princess of the Xing Luo Empire is worthy of the other party!
Xu Jiujiu appeared and danced with Xu Xingyu, and then Xu Xingyu and Gu Yuena danced
