Chapter 145: A Youyou??? (Second Update)
Very quickly, everyone understood what the Prince's arrangements were. At the FATE bar in Yise City, the entire Tianjing Team changed their clothes. Of course, they weren't their own; Solomon had people bring over rows upon rows of clothes to choose from, a full few hundred pieces, as if he had moved an entire shopping mall over. The girls were overjoyed; they were all top-tier luxury brands that military academy students truly couldn't afford. Even those with decent family backgrounds couldn't buy these current seasonal limited editions. Sheng Man and the others had great figures and were at the radiant age of youth and beauty. Once they put them on, it really elevated their temperament by another notch. The royal stylists were already waiting. Most of these clothes were quite revealing, accentuating their figures. Everyone else's skin was very fair. A Youyou chose a women's suit, simple and atmospheric, cool and stylish; she tied her hair back, saving even the need for styling.
Ma Long and the others were already overwhelmed; this was true super-ability.
There was a long line at the bar. As the hottest bar in Yise City, a holy land for all sorts of handsome men and beautiful women, the arrival of two stretched Phantom maglev cars naturally meant the group went straight through the VVIP passage. Solomon's popularity in Yise City was also quite high; he was a star among stars, and the crowd erupted in waves of excitement.
The atmosphere inside the bar was incredibly good. Sheng Man and the others were enjoying themselves to the fullest on the dance floor. Ma Long and Sheng Man were both experts, and Zuo Xiaotang, who had been a bit reserved, was quickly swept up by everyone into the revelry. There was nothing a few shots of strong liquor couldn't solve; if there was, then have a few more.
Huo Ying was also going wild inside. He didn't need any prompting; he loved a lively atmosphere the most, especially in a place like this. His hips were swaying like crazy; who would have thought he was a dance floor expert.
Li Hao and A Youyou didn't go in to join the fun; Li Hao still preferred it a bit quieter. "A Youyou, this wine tastes pretty good."
A Youyou giggled. "Solomon is really spending a fortune. 150-year-old Macallan. Are you and he that close?"
"I didn't know before, but we're very familiar now!" Li Hao was delighted when he heard that. Regardless of whether it tasted good or not, as long as it was expensive, it was fine.
The DJ was replaced by the sisters Xilai'er and Xiniya. With the explosive rhythm and their rhythmic, full-bodied swaying, the two sisters would occasionally have some S-curve face-to-face interactions, and the atmosphere became completely hyped.
"Prince Solomon welcomes the distinguished guests from Tianjing Mecha on behalf of Udier Academy, paying tribute to his idol, Li Ge. Tonight's tab is covered by the Prince. Cheer!"
The whole place erupted. The lights turned to Li Hao, and the crowd gave the most enthusiastic cheers. Li Hao didn't care; he just ate and drank. Solomon was really something—why go through all this flashy trouble? Couldn't he have... just given him the cash?
Sheng Man and the others were all a bit hyped out of their minds. Among young people, who doesn't care about face? The Prince really gave them face to the heavens. The Team Leader was as cool as ever, not caring at all, but Prince Solomon still had that "it's only natural" look. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't he show some appreciation?
Li Hao didn't take it to heart at all, and he wasn't interested. "A Youyou, where do you want to go play tomorrow?"
"I heard the Palm Beach here is nice. How about we go sea fishing and diving?"
"Sounds good, sounds good!" Lu Ying rushed over. "Team Leader, swimming is great! You two shouldn't just sit here chatting; come play together. It's rare to have such a lively time."
"A Youyou, you go ahead, I'll just watch," Li Hao laughed.
"Team Leader, you're such a bore. You're young, get out there and jump around! A Youyou, don't listen to him, let's go in and have some fun!" Lu Ying pulled at A Youyou, but A Youyou waved her hands; the atmosphere inside was a bit too fanatical.
Just then, Solomon walked over with a young man with red hair, green eyes, and a hint of arrogance at the corners of his mouth.
"Li Ge, let me introduce you. This is Pang Peila, from the Qiongdong Battle Team, and also an officer of the Star Clan," Solomon said with a smile.
Pang Peila still gave Solomon a lot of face, though certainly not because of his status as the Udier Team leader—such a second-rate team was naturally beneath his notice—but the Prince's status was still quite influential.
The Qiongdong Battle Team came from the Qiongdong A-Level War Academy in the Oceania region, one of the top ten battle teams, and was considered T2 level across the entire Solar System Alliance.
The Star Clan was a non-official organization that only those recognized as a Supernova could join. The officers were rotated among the top ten military academies, and this year it was Qiongdong Academy's turn. Pang Peila had come this time to invite Luo Xin and Kaosite of the Udier Team. Of course, Solomon had joined before, but when one's strength was further recognized, they would belong to the elder-level figures within the Star Clan.
"The Star Clan is a place for Supernova exchanges. Here, you can meet top experts from all over the world; it is the best space for your improvement. Originally, your academy only had Wuzang, but we received news that you are also about to be selected. For the sake of Team Leader Solomon, you should join together this time," Pang Peila said, glancing at Lu Ying. This babe was not bad; generally speaking, figures in the Asian region were relatively flat, but this one was quite impressive, and she even had a peach-shaped butt.
Solomon, standing to the side, was stunned. This wasn't what he had asked Pang Peila to come and say.
Li Hao waved his hand with a smile. "You should ask Wuzang. I won't be joining."
Pang Peila withdrew his gaze from Lu Ying, unable to believe his ears. Looking down from a position of superiority, his eyes undisguisedly filled with disdain. Could Tianjing people be this arrogant now? "Li Hao, do you have some kind of misunderstanding? Although the Star Clan is prepared for Supernovas, not every Supernova is qualified to join!"
Li Hao shook his head. "I know, that's why I'm not joining."
Pang Peila looked at this ignorant Tianjing team leader before him; having won one match, he clearly didn't know who he was anymore.
"Team Leader Solomon, it seems your good intentions are being ignored by some. Then let's just forget about Tianjing Mecha," Pang Peila shrugged with an affected air. "Beauty, can I ask you for a dance?"
Lu Ying bloomed with a brilliant smile. "Not interested. I don't like redheads."
Because Solomon was there, Pang Peila still gave some face, but he didn't mind her words and reached out to grab Lu Ying's hand. "Don't be shy. You Tianjing women are just too reserved. Since you're here, you have to get hyped up."
Slap...
Li Hao gripped Pang Peila's wrist. "She doesn't like redheads."
Because they were out in public, Pang Peila was still suppressing his temper, but Li Hao's move instantly ignited his anger. "Fky..."
Slap~~~
Li Hao's right hand flashed, a hand-blade striking out. Before anyone could react, Pang Peila had fainted. Li Hao clapped his hands. "So long-winded."
Solomon apologized with a bitter smile. He had forgotten that this person wasn't from Tianqi and didn't know Li Hao at all. Having drunk alcohol, he was feeling cocky, and this attempt at flattery had backfired.
"Senior Sister Lu Ying, go ahead and dance. I'll chat with A Youyou," Li Hao said.
Lu Ying looked at Li Hao sexily. She had indeed been startled, but she hadn't expected Li Hao to act so decisively—if he could use his hands, he would never waste words. This cold, cool demeanor was quite impressive and completely different from his usual self. It was a pity he was already taken.
After they left, A Youyou giggled. "You really are quick to strike."
"I'm not good at arguing. If I lose an argument, I'm unhappy, so it's better to let him be quiet for a while," Li Hao said. He was older now, and his temper was much better.
"Senior, this is your promotion gift." A Youyou pulled a small box from her pocket.
"Take a look at my gift. How come you've never received a gift from a girl before?" A Youyou said with a smile.
Li Hao nodded and opened the small box. Inside was a fire-red heart-shaped bead.
"Aiyouyou, finally a girl has given me a gift. I'm a winner in life too!"
"Oh my god, is it really your first time? Then shouldn't you thank me?" A Youyou pointed to her own cheek.
"This is also the first time I've heard such a request in all my life." Li Hao leaned in, and suddenly A Youyou turned her head.
In an instant, everything around them disappeared, leaving only the sound of their two hearts pounding.
After a long while, Li Hao let go. A Youyou, still hiding in Li Hao's arms, was like a well-behaved little kitten. When the two were close, they could both feel that unimaginable attraction and trembling. He didn't know what other couples were like, but Li Hao had to use great willpower every time to control himself.
Plop...
It seemed something had fallen. A Youyou felt her pocket and hurriedly searched.
"What is it?" Li Hao squatted down. Although the light was dim, his eyes still discovered a small bead. "Is it this?"
Li Hao's pupils shrank slightly as he looked at the small bead in his hand. A Youyou wiped the little marble clean. "This is my lucky marble. It saved my life once. Senior, where in Tianjing can you buy this?"
Li Hao was stunned, looking at A Youyou in a bit of a daze...
In the center of the dance floor, Sheng Man and the others were putting on a show of "mighty dragons crossing the river." Lu Ying and Lu Lingxiao were professionals, and Sheng Man and Tan Ziyuan were certainly no worse. Their figures and dance moves brought waves of cheers from the whole room.
The sisters Xilai'er and Xiniya were clearly also experts in their own right, with different styles. Sheng Man and the others fully displayed the soft beauty of Asian women, moving with ease, while Xilai'er and Xiniya were passionate and surging. Ma Long and the others were all cheering loudly.
The loudest voice was actually Zuo Xiaotang. The little fatty had completely let go; successfully promoting had really allowed him to release everything. He had already finished a bottle of forty-degree whiskey, and feeling the buzz, his chubby body was swaying wildly to the music. Sometimes dance moves aren't important; courage is. Lu Ying looked at the desperately shaking Zuo Xiaotang and was actually willing to cooperate; the beauty and the meatball combo was quite a sight.
Move it, let's sway together...
