(Douluo Dalu 3 Fanfiction) Huo Yuhao in Legend of Dragon King

Chapter 211: We'll Sit at the Adults' Table



After the broadcast sounded, a knock on the door followed.

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow slightly, awakening from his meditation, and got up to walk to the door, opening it.

He saw Gu Yuena standing gracefully outside, her hands behind her back, looking mysterious.

Huo Yuhao showed an amused expression, "You already anticipated this scene, so you prepared clothes for me?"

Gu Yuena was slightly surprised, then took out a set of clothes from her storage ring, smiling and nodding, "Yes, because of the invitation from the Star Luo delegation last time, I guessed there would be a banquet after boarding, so I prepared it in advance."

She had thought of this day when Dai Yun'er invited them to the banquet last time.

Huo Yuhao took the clothes in his hands, unfolded them, and found a meticulously tailored black suit. The collar and cuffs were embroidered with dark silver patterns, exuding understated luxury.

A soft light flashed in his eyes, and he nodded gently, "Alright, wait for me to change, and we'll go together."

Gu Yuena's lips carried a faint smile, "Then I'll go change too, see you in a bit."

After saying that, she walked briskly to the next room, her silver hair swaying gently behind her.

Huo Yuhao closed the door, his fingers brushed over the delicate dark patterns on the suit. The fabric of the suit was extremely refined, soft and smooth to the touch, as if with a light touch one could feel the craftsmanship and skill within.

The overall design of the suit was simple yet elegant, with a natural and smooth cut that perfectly fits the body's curves, neither too tight nor too loose, just right to showcase the wearer's temperament.

"In such detail, her thoughts are much more delicate than mine..."

...

Naturally, Huo Yuhao wasn't the only one who heard the broadcast; others heard it too.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Yuanen Yehui nodded slightly, opened the cabin door, and walked into the corridor. She was still dressed as a man, wearing red trousers and a black shirt.

Although her male appearance wasn't particularly handsome, Yuanen Yehui's tall figure, set off by the black shirt and red trousers, gave her a more dashing look.

Coincidentally, shortly after Yuanen Yehui left the room, the cabin door opposite opened, and Xu Xiaoyan walked out.

Xu Xiaoyan was wearing a white knee-length dress today, with a strapless design and a pleated skirt, adorned with small golden star decorations, simple yet exquisite.

The two of them were both started when they met.

Looking at Yuanen Yehui's outfit, Xu Xiaoyan marveled, "Yuanen, if I didn't know you were a girl, I might have fallen for you."

"Xiaoyan, you look beautiful today too," Yuanen Yehui said with a smile.

Xu Xiaoyan chuckled, "Thank you."

"Huh? Who called me?"

Xie Xie walked out of the room, looking at them with a puzzled expression.

At this moment, he was also dressed up, wearing a well-tailored black suit, a white shirt inside, and a black bow tie, a classic formal attire. Paired with his decent looks, he had a rather dashing appearance.

But looking at his confused expression, Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but sighed softly.

For some reason, Xie Xie's appearance wasn't bad, but it always felt... not quite right.

Somehow, he feels like a comic character...

Thinking this, Xu Xiaoyan said expressionlessly, "We didn't call you, I was just thanking Sister Yuanen."

Xie Xie: "..."

Another day of wanting to change his name.

While Xie Xie was crying inside, Tang Wulin, Wang Jinxi, and Zhang Yangzi also walked out of the room next door.

"Wulin, that outfit on you..." Xu Xiaoyan's gaze fell on Tang Wulin, and she couldn't help but exclaim.

Tang Wulin was wearing a dark blue fitted suit, with dark golden patterns embroidered on the lapels, faintly visible under the light. His figure was already tall and straight, and this suit made him look even more dashing.

Tang Wulin also liked his outfit very much, and just as he thought Xu Xiaoyan would compliment him, she suddenly changed her tone, "You didn't pick this yourself, did you?"

"...How did you guess?" Tang Wulin scratched his head.

"Isn't it obvious? Because, Wulin, you usually don't pay attention to these things."

Xie Xie asked curiously, "Come on, tell us, who picked this outfit for you? Was it a girl?"

Tang Wulin didn't want to answer at first, but seeing everyone's expressions, after a moment of thought, he whispered, "Senior Ouyang gave it to me."

"Senior Ouyang?"

Xie Xie and the others were puzzled at first, then Xie Xie remembered something and broadened his eyes, "Damn, did you hook up with Senior Ouyang Zixin? Since when?"

"What are you talking about?!" Tang Wulin's face turned red, "We're just ordinary friends. She knew I was going to Star Luo and gave me some advice."

Seeing everyone's expressions of "I get it," Tang Wulin knew it would only get worse if he tried to explain, so he rolled his eyes and turned to walk towards the banquet hall.

Xie Xie followed, teasing him.

"Come on, tell me, when did you get together with her?"

"I told you, we're just ordinary friends!"

...

The banquet hall was on the second deck of the Star Luo.

The crystal chandeliers cast a dazzling light on the ceiling, illuminating the entire hall as bright as day. Between the gilded relief pillars, members of the delegation in their splendid attire entered one after another, with silk and jewelry flowing with dazzling brilliance under the light.

The not-yet-officially-started cocktail party was already bustling, with the crisp sounds of clinking glasses and casual conversations intertwined, echoing in the spacious hall that could accommodate a thousand people.

When Xie Xie and the others arrived, many guests gathered in the hall. As members of the delegation representing two continents, they were undoubtedly elites in their respective fields, with diverse backgrounds and identities. As for age, these young students were undoubtedly the youngest among them.

However, this also meant their circle was mostly limited to their peers. After all, the older delegation representatives mostly had their own social circles, and even if they were interested in them, they wouldn't casually come over to chat.

On the other hand, the students from both sides could communicate more freely.

Xie Xie looked around and whispered,

"Hey, look over there, Yue Zhenyu seems to be quite good at this kind of scene."

Yuanen Yehui said indifferently, "He's the heir of the Sacred Angel family, so he's been used on such occasions since childhood, right?"

Coin Xiaoyan snorted, "What's so good about a playboy."

At this moment, Yue Zhenyu was chatting and laughing with several female students from Star Luo, his every move exuding elegance, without any sense of unfamiliarity. This caused a group of male students from Star Luo to glare at him.

But only Yue Zhenyu knew how innocent he was.

These Star Luo girls surrounding him weren't here for him.

"So, that Huo Yuhao's spiritual power has reached the half-step spiritual domain, and he could break through to the spiritual domain realm at any time?" A Star Luo female student exclaimed, "As expected of the next Spirit Pagoda Master."

Yue Zhenyu's mouth twitched, and he gently swirled the red wine glass in his hand. This was already the seventh Star Luo student tonight who had approached him to inquire about Huo Yuhao.

"Indeed."

He maintains an elegant smile, but couldn't help but complain in his heart: Why don't you just go ask Huo Yuhao directly! What's the point of surrounding me? Do I not have any dignity?

Another girl with a high ponytail eagerly asked, "So, is he really in that kind of relationship with Gu Yuena? I always see them together…"

Although Yue Zhenyu wasn't bad, they were still more interested in Huo Yuhao.

After all, he was the future Spirit Pagoda Master. Regardless of his appearance, just thinking about the value of spiritual souls and the strength he possessed, the other boys present were no match.

If possible, they naturally hoped to have something happen with him.

"Well..."

Yue Zhenyu glanced at the two figures not far away, a flash of amazement in his eyes, then exclaimed, "It seems I don't need to answer much, right?"

A beam of silver light shone at the entrance, and everyone's gaze was involuntarily drawn over.

Gu Yuena, holding Huo Yuhao's arm, walked in slowly, and the entire hall instantly fell silent.

Today, she was only wearing a simple silver dress, without any extra decorations. But it was this simplicity that made her look as if she was formed from moonlight, highlighting her natural beauty. Her silver hair fell down, her purple eyes shimmering, and every step seemed to step on everyone's heartbeat.

Huo Yuhao was wearing a meticulously tailored black suit, making his figure look tall and straight. The dark silver patterns were faintly visible under the light, adding a noble temperament to him, making him even more handsome.

Both of them had both looks and temperament. In front of them, any flowery language seemed pale. They didn't need to deliberately show anything; just standing there, they already explained what it meant to be a match made in heaven.

The entire banquet hall's gaze was focused on this pair. After a brief silence, exclamations and conversations erupted one after another.

At this moment, everyone understood one thing: the protagonists of tonight's banquet had appeared.

Dai Yun'er stood on the circular stage of the banquet hall, looking at the two in a daze, feeling a sense of defeat rising from the bottom of her heart.

These two seemed to be able to crush everyone's confidence. Their existence was like a mirror, reflecting the ordinariness and exclusion of others...

The banquet host, Sima Lanxiao, standing on the stage, looked over and frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he used the amplification soul device to say:

"Dear guests, welcome to tonight's cocktail party. I am Sima Lanxiao, the Minister of Foreign Affairs from the Star Luo Empire of the Star Luo Continent. It is a great honor to gather with the elites from all walks of life on the Douluo Continent. Tonight, let us enjoy the drinks and have a wonderful time."

"During the banquet, we will also host a few fun games, selecting the best-dressed gentleman and lady, the most handsome gentleman and the most beautiful lady, as well as the most elegant dance partner combination. The winners will receive a special prize carefully prepared by our Star Luo Continent."

"However, the results of the most handsome gentleman and the most beautiful lady seem to have already been decided. What do you all think?"

As soon as Sima Lanxiao finished speaking, the banquet hall erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Not to mention whether anyone present could surpass these two, even if someone could individually match this young man and woman, when they stood side by side, their complementary temperament and looks made it difficult for anyone to compete with them.

This selection result... was beyond dispute.

Seeing the atmosphere in the venue become lively because of Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena, Sima Lanxiao also exchanged a few words with them and took this opportunity to officially announce the start of the banquet.

The lights moved away from Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena, and the music suddenly accelerated. The dancers began to spin elegantly on the dance floor. At the same time, exquisite dishes were also served one after another.

Xu Xiaoyan finally found the opportunity to walk up to Gu Yuena and the others, approaching delightfully.

"Nana, you look so beautiful today!"

Gu Yuena: "Xiaoyan, you're also very beautiful."

Xie Xie and the others also walked over, "Tsk tsk tsk, are you two trying to blind everyone?"

"It's Nana who's too dazzling."

Huo Yuhao smiled, leaned down, and whispered something in Gu Yuena's ear. Gu Yuena's lips curved slightly, and that momentary smile was like a frozen river thawing, leaving those watching in a daze.

"Alright, you guys enjoy the banquet, we'll go sit at the adults' table."

Gu Yuena waved her hand and walked towards a certain direction with Huo Yuhao.

"???"

Xie Xie and Tang Wulin looked at each other.

Because of the banquet, most of the tables and chairs here had been removed, making the venue very open. Only some high tables were placed in the hall, with exquisite snacks and drinks on them for everyone to enjoy.

The adults' table? What does that mean?

On the other side, Dai Yun'er came back to her senses and was about to go greet Huo Yuhao and the others in a polite manner, but when she saw the direction they were heading, she stopped. Some people who were paying attention to their movements also had subtle changes in their expressions.

Near the center of the stage, there was a high table, with only five people around it, and no one else within a few meters. This makes it seem like an unnoticed corner in the center of the stage.

But everyone understood that it wasn't that they didn't care; it was exactly because they cared so much about these five people that they didn't dare to approach, lest they disturbed them from enjoying the banquet.

These five people were none other than the Federal Secretary-General, the Soul Suppressing Douluo, the Amorous Douluo, and two federal senators.

This was the place to receive high-level personnel from the Douluo Federation, including a limit-level powerhouse like the Amorous Douluo. Not to mention Dai Yun'er, even the Minister of Foreign Affairs Sima Lanxiao, if they didn't want to give face, couldn't integrate into it.

But Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena, two juniors, walked straight over and naturally blended into this group.

What seemed unbelievable to outsiders was a matter of course in the eyes of the Amorous Douluo.

What a joke, among the five people, there were two super Douluos from the Spirit Pagoda, a Deputy Secretary of the Shadow Department who seemed to have a past with Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena, and a Federal Secretary-General who wanted to get along with the Spirit Pagoda. How could it not be harmonious?

Moreover, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena's identities were also special.

Disciples of the two deputy masters of the Spirit Pagoda, with the former being the next Spirit Pagoda Master... Both the Soul Suppressing Douluo and the Dark Phoenix Douluo will give them face.

Sitting at their table, no one would have any objections, including himself.
