Douluo Dalu - The Story of Sheng Feilong Chapter 111

The dance party has been going on for just about an hour, but Sima Lanxiao was forced to intervene . A while ago, two boys had created a commotion by intimately dancing together, which displeased many of the influential people present .

Even worse, the two had completely ignored the commotion around them and continued to dance for nearly half an hour by now . Not everyone bothered with them, but all those that did were people Sima Lanxiao would naturally want to appease .

He signalled for the band to end their performance after the current piece they were playing and stepped onto the stage again once they were finished . He held another speech not unlike his opening one and slowly ended the evening . A few people asked about the vote for a pair of dance king and queen, but Sima Lanxiao only apologized and said they would have to postpone this .

Although the dance had ended, the banquet and hall were still free for everyone to use so most people still remained there . Sheng Feilong and Yuanen Yehui returned to their prior spot after the dance ended and were soon joined by Tang Wulin, Yue Zhengyu and the others .

Xie Xie joined them a bit later and his face seemed somewhat complicated . When Xu Xiaoyan noticed him, she smiled mischievously and started speaking to Sheng Feilong, loud enough for Xie Xie to hear . "Brother Feilong, you and Yuanen make such a cute pair! And you really looked good when you danced together!"

Xie Xie frowned and clenched his fists slightly, but Sheng Feilong simply took it as a compliment . He smiled lightly and glanced at Yuanen Yehui for a second . "Thanks . You and Senior Brother Zhengyu also match rather nicely . "

Xu Xiaoyan was a bit flustered as she didn't expect such a comeback and saw Yue Zhengyu shooting Sheng Feilong a thumbs up . She pinched Yue Zhengyu's waist, causing his face to contort, she pouted and spoke in a barely audible whisper . "Who would want to match with that idiot . . . "

Thanks to his strong Spirit power, Sheng Feilong was still able to hear her and chuckled . Tang Wulin and Gu Yue kept out of their talk and just stood by the side, the latter still holding on to Tang Wulin's arm . Previously, Gu Yue was rather displeased with Tang Wulin and he danced with an acquaintance from the Star Luo Continent and enjoyed himself a bit too much for her taste, but she had calmed down by now .

Xu Lizhi and Ye Xinglan also joined them soon, the former having his arms stuffed with all kinds of food and happily eating . Surprisingly, Xie Xie only stayed for a few minutes before excusing himself and leaving the banquet hall . Sheng Feilong didn't know what was wrong with him, but noticed that he was in a rather bad mood since the dance ended . 'Did he want to become the dance king? Well, it seems like we crushed his chances . . . I'll apologize later, I guess . '

Time quickly passed by as their group of eight continued to talk . A lot of things happened in the over five months Sheng Feilong hadn't seen everyone, so there was no shortage of topics to choose from . Other than his Soul Power level, Sheng Feilong kept the news of his second Spirit Essence as well as his External Soul Bone and details about Daedalus a secret for now .

While they were still talking, She Meixiao came over to them, seemingly looking for Sheng Feilong . She smiled when she saw him still standing beside Yuanen Yehui . Sheng Feilong quickly greeted her with a light bow, before the latter spoke up in a teasing tone . "I know I told you to bring a girl home for your father to see before you become complacent, but I didn't expect you to act so soon . You're really something else . "

Everyone turned silent at once and started at Sheng Feilong and Yuanen Yehui . The latter quickly turned away, but it was obvious that she was blushing even with her make-up to look male on . Sheng Feilong knew of his Master's character, so he didn't take it as seriously as the others and just laughed the matter off . "Master, we were just dancing . . . I already told you that it's still too early . What if I give father a heart attack?"

"Oh? So you think your father is that old already?" She Meixiao chuckled, to which Sheng Feilong just replied with an innocent smile . "I would never dare to say that . "

She Meixiao then stayed with their group for a short period of time . She had a personality that made it easy to get along with her so no one said anything against it . Adding to the fact that she's the Master of Sheng Feilong who also saved his life just made it easier . She Meixiao then excused herself and left the banquet hall as well .

Curious due to She Meixiao's behaviour and easygoing personality, Xu Lizhi semi-seriously asked how strong she was because she didn't feel like a high and mighty senior like the ones he's used to . Sheng Feilong didn't think he'd need to keep it a secret since most of the passengers already know of her status anyways . "She's a Titled Douluo . I'm not sure about her exact level, but she's at least above rank 94 . "

Xu Lizhi's smile froze and he looked at Sheng Feilong with wide eyes . Just moments earlier, they had been talking to a Titled Douluo like it was nothing, not even showing her the proper respect someone of her status was entitled to . Sheng Feilong smiled again . "Don't worry, if Master wanted you to formally respect her, she would have introduced herself in another manner . You did nothing wrong . "

People started to gradually leave the banquet hall and the evening slowly came to an end . Sheng Feilong and the others walked back to their rooms together as they all lived on the same hallway . A few days passed by quietly as no other events were planned .

Sheng Feilong spent most of his time cultivating and didn't really meet up with his friends . All of them took cultivating serious as well, so there wasn't any problem with that . They would still meet from time to time in the hallway or the dining room and talk a bit, but everyone mostly kept to themselves .

Even though they didn't interact much with each other, Sheng Feilong noticed that Xie Xie seemed to avoid him on purpose . Even when all of them sat at a tabbe in the dining room, Xie Xie would take the spot farthest from Sheng Feilong on purpose .

After a while, it started to bother Sheng Feilong, but he didn't want to outright confront Xie Xie about it . He waited for a quiet time and paid a visit to Tang Wulin . The past few days, the latter always seemed to be completely drained of strength whenever they met, so Sheng Feilong used this time to check up on him as well .

He knocked on Tang Wulin's door and was invited in . As usual, the latter looked completely exhausted, but still had his cheerful attitude . Sheng Feilong took a seat and started by casually asking how Tang Wulin was . The latter just forced a smile . "I'm just a bit tired, nothing to worry about . "

"Really? You've been like this for a few days now? Are you sure you're okay? You're not seasick or something like that, right?" Sheng Feilong seemed honestly concerned, but Tang Wulin still insisted that he was okay .

If the latter didn't want to say anything, Sheng Feilong couldn't force him to . "Well, alright . If something comes up that I could help with, just tell me . " Tang Wulin smiled as well, genuinely this time . "Will do . Thanks . Anyways, did you just come over to check up on me?"

Sheng Feilong slightly shook his head . "No, there's one more thing . Well, it may sound a bit weird, but do you know what's up with Xie Xie? He seems to be avoiding me for the whole time for some reason . "

Tang Wulin showed a slightly awkward expression when he heard Sheng Feilong's question . "Yeah, I noticed . . . I may have a clue as to why . . . " Sheng Feilong tilted his head slightly with a expecting expression . "Oh yeah? What's it?"

"Well, if I had to guess, I'd say it's because of the dance banquet last week . " Tang Wulin said after thinking about it for a moment . Sheng Feilong frowned lightly . "The banquet? Why? I don't think I did anything to him there . Or anything ever at all . "

Tang Wulin sighed and scratched his head . "Well, Xie Xie is trying to woo Yuanen Yehui . " Sheng Feilong was taken aback . He didn't expect something like that . "Yuanen and Xie Xie? Seriously?"

"Yeah . Xie Xie's been after her even before the accident at the Year End Examination . It's just that Yuanen always turned him down . I guess you didn't notice since you weren't in the Working Student's dorms all the time . " Tang Wulin explained with a shrug .

Sheng Feilong thought about it with a frown before sighing and scratching his head with one hand . "So it's a one sided thing . . . And he didn't like that the person he likes, who's always turned him down now agreed to dance with me, huh . . . "

"Yeah, that's pretty much it . " Tang Wulin nodded . Sheng Feilong remained silent for a moment before sighing again . "I guess I'll have to talk to him about this in person, then . I don't want to destroy a friendship for something like this . "

He stood up and stretched his back . "Well, thanks for your help . If you need anything just tell me . I'll see if I can find Xie Xie for now . " Tang Wulin stood up as well and looked at Sheng Feilong . "Wait . Before you go, can I ask you something as well?"

"Huh? Sure, what is it?" Sheng Feilong stopped and turned around to see Tang Wulin look at him with a serious expression . "Want do you want to tell Xie Xie? Will you let this go? Or do you like Yuanen Yehui as well?"
