Seeing the Pig Head in front of me staring at me as if I were his wife-snatching enemy, I couldn't help but feel utterly bewildered. It seemed I had never provoked this guy before, had I?

Sandora understood faster than I did: "The moment two great beauties stood beside you, you became a public enemy of all men."

This girl's understanding and learning ability regarding the human world were truly terrifying.

Qian Qian suddenly gave the young master Pig Head across from her a provocative smile, then turned and hugged my arm.

Liu Zicai's face instantly turned green.

Sandora curiously looked at Qian Qian hugging me, then followed suit and hugged my other arm.

Qian Qian's face instantly turned green...

Pandora suddenly realized that the two arms she usually monopolized were now occupied by others, so she pouted, took a step back, then suddenly pounced forward again, hanging onto my neck.

My face instantly turned green...

While we were putting on a show of changing expressions, the people around us also experienced an earthquake. Ever since Sandora revealed her identity and severely shocked everyone, she had become the focus of the entire venue. From government officials to ordinary waiters, including the city guards who were watching from a distance while restraining Sikaro, everyone's attention had been focused on Sandora. Now, this unpredictable Princess suddenly pulled a stunt like this...

Ah, farewell, my peaceful life, even though I had already said goodbye to you a month ago.

To my surprise, Liu Zicai just glared at me fiercely for a while, then turned and walked away quickly. Although it was clear he was filled with jealousy and hatred towards me, this guy was actually able to restrain himself so much—it seemed this Liu Shao wasn't as hopelessly useless as a straw bag. He could still distinguish between the importance and urgency of matters.

"Carbon-Based Lifeforms are truly interesting," Sandora's voice echoed in my mind.

I had already given up on making these stubborn Shilin Apostles realize the fact that I was also a Carbon-Based Lifeform.

"A Jun," Qian Qian suddenly said happily, "Let's go dance!"

"Dance?" I was dumbfounded.

"Yes, dance. The latter part of this banquet is an outdoor dance party!"

I looked at Sandora with a questioning gaze, and she immediately shrank her neck: "Don't look at me, the latter part of the banquet wasn't arranged by me."

At this time, some people had already started looking for dance partners around. It seemed many people knew the specific arrangements of the banquet, and they all brought their own dance partners. However, even if they didn't know, it didn't matter. This place was full of people who were active in various social occasions all year round. Finding a dance partner was effortless for them. However, due to the presence of Princess Sandora, most of the gentlemen present focused their attention on a certain person.

A distinguished young man in a pure white tailcoat walked over and bowed to Sandora like a gentleman: "Beautiful and noble Princess, may I have the honor of dancing with you?"

Sandora instantly switched to her princess demeanor, lifted her skirt, and curtsied: "I am honored by your invitation, but unfortunately, I already have a dance partner."

The distinguished young man turned his gaze to me, with a hint of undisguised disdain in his eyes: "Princess, is the dance partner you are referring to this gentleman? Forgive my presumption, but this gentleman has been very close to you from the beginning. May I ask what his identity is? Can anyone vouch for his credibility? I am Ding Bai, the chairman of Ding's International Trade and the host of this banquet. Therefore, I must inquire about the safety of the Princess here!"

What insidious words!

This speech was well-reasoned and well-founded, subtly portraying me as a dangerous individual approaching the Princess with malicious intent. And it was very difficult to refute. He himself said he was the host of the banquet, and he was concerned about the Princess's safety out of a sense of duty. And no matter how you looked at it, my identity couldn't possibly have such a close relationship with the Princess—in short, Mr. Ding was a staunch defender of the Princess, while I was a scoundrel trying to eat swan meat, and perhaps, I was even a dangerous individual with ulterior motives!

Now I remembered the identity of this young man named Ding in front of me. Ding's International Trade was a rapidly rising international trade company recently. Its rise was full of incomprehensible aspects, because no one had ever heard of this company before. However, almost overnight, it became one of the leading companies in the country. No one knew how it developed, and the chairman of this company, Ding Bai, was even more mysterious. At the age of only 21, he became the highest leader of Ding's International Trade. While everyone doubted his ability, he proved his worth to the world with his excellent leadership and business acumen. This person, like his Ding's International Trade, rose suddenly and then emitted a dazzling light that was impossible to look at directly.

He's a big shot—perhaps... I don't know if he counts as a life form that can barely communicate in Sandora's eyes.

Sandora patiently waited for the other party to finish speaking, then smiled politely: "In other words, Mr. Ding is questioning the identity of my friend? And you are very eager to know the relationship between him and me?"

"Please forgive my presumption," Ding Bai nodded slightly, "But I am also fulfilling my duty as the host. After all, although this is a gathering open to everyone, this area is not accessible to just anyone. Even for a friend of the Princess, we need to confirm their identity."

Although Sandora maintained a proper smile, through the mental connection of the异体同心, I could feel that she was already very angry.

I had never seen Sandora angry. In front of me, she was always a cheerfully silly wild girl, but I guessed that once she got angry, the consequences would be quite terrifying. Pandora had mentioned this to me before:

"...Under the wrath of Emperor Sandora, all civilizations in the Twenty-Fourth Sky Region were completely annihilated..."

Although the current Sandora was no longer the tyrant who spread destruction everywhere, I had sufficient reason to believe that she was still more than capable of causing a natural disaster if she got angry now.

Just as I was about to soothe Sandora's emotions, Pandora, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stepped forward and came in front of Ding Bai.

It wasn't until this moment that Ding Bai suddenly realized there was such a cute little angel present—although this little angel had a cold expression and lifeless eyes, that didn't affect Pandora's cute appearance.

"Hello, cute little sister..." Ding Bai showed what he thought was his most approachable smile and bent down towards the little girl in front of him.

"Don't speak ill of big brother!" A slightly childish voice rang out, followed by Pandora's lightning-fast instantaneous kick...

...Which bastard taught this little guy this move?!

Accompanied by Ding Bai's mournful scream, all the gentlemen present collectively shivered—that was too ruthless.

Pandora's kick also calmed Sandora's anger. She even had the leisure to analyze through the mental connection: "A quite effective attack method, precisely grasping the weakness of male Carbon-Based Lifeforms, causing maximum damage with minimal effort, and it's not fatal. You have a very excellent general."

Have you ever seen a general who specializes in kicking people in vital spots on the battlefield?!

Ding Bai's scream quickly attracted the attention of others. Several staff members quickly ran over. Seeing Ding Bai curled up on the ground, they quickly stepped forward to help him up. The latter immediately screamed: "Don't move, it'll break if you move again..."

"Princess," a strong man with a military-like demeanor came in front of Sandora and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "We are very sorry for the disturbance caused to you, but may we ask you to explain what happened here?"

"Of course," Sandora smiled slightly, looking to be in a very good mood, "Just now, this Mr. Ding asked me some questions, some of which involved the private affairs of the Liska Royal Family members, and he also tried to inquire about the social situation and personnel interactions of the Liska Royal Family members. We suspect that he is trying to probe the highest royal secrets through me, so my friend quickly subdued him and incapacitated him. If our actions were inappropriate, please understand, after all, this matter involves our national security and royal dignity..."

Sandora, I admire you, I admire you immensely! You dare to casually slap such an exaggerated big hat on someone. In terms of maliciousness alone, you have become a god!
