The laser lights suddenly turned on, shining towards the entrance of the auditorium hall.
The high heels clicked on the steps with a crisp, clear sound.
" Imperial Emperor, are you still wasting your time on this kind of team?"
Su Hang's body stiffened, and his reddened eyes looked in the direction of the sound.
Her long, deep purple hair cascaded down her shoulders, and the heart-shaped diamond pendants on her translucent earlobes swayed brilliantly. A wine-red evening gown with gilded accents complemented the young woman's elegant and graceful figure, like a red rose blooming in the dead of night.
This Thorn Rose Princess, who appeared out of nowhere, was like the goddess Venus from mythology, radiating a dazzling divine light that made everyone present afraid to look directly into her crimson eyes.
She walked down the steps in her red high heels, like a goddess descending to earth, onto the stage, and stood before the bewildered, red-eyed guy.
A cool, mature female voice echoed throughout the venue.
" Your Imperial Emperor, we don't have much time left. The Imperial Crown Team is waiting for you to save them."
Su Hang stammered, unable to utter a single word. The Thorn Rose Princess, so close at hand, exuded a cold and powerful aura that suffocated him. He staggered two steps and his body fell backward uncontrollably.
Thorn Rose Princess reacted swiftly, grabbing Su Hang's arm and wrapping her arms around his waist. Her sharp voice softened instinctively, "Take a deep breath. Dizziness is normal, don't be nervous."
Su Hang's face flushed red, and he avoided eye contact, asking, "You... who are you?"
"I'm the Vice Captain of the Imperial Crown, here to take you to the Imperial Crown." Thorn Rose Princess leaned closer, her fiery red lips slightly upturned, and said, "Of course, you should remember my other name, Yugong Hu. Do you remember?"
"Ame... Yugong Hu?"
Su Hang's eyes widened in disbelief. "You... you're the Teacher Fox God?"
Liuli let go of her hand and frowned, "Whose suit is this?"
" Teacher Fox God, this is my..." Su Hang said with a dim look in his eyes, "This is Luo Yan's suit."
"Last night while we were playing games, I clearly told you to treat yourself better, why did you buy someone else's cheap suit?" Liuli waved her hand lazily, " Eve, it's your turn now."
Suddenly, a styling team appeared out of nowhere, pushing a mobile wardrobe onto the stage. The wardrobe was open, revealing a series of luxurious top-tier suits, leaving [ Luo Yan ] standing next to them completely dumbfounded.
Bai Miaomiao asked in a daze, "Senior Brother Luo, are those suits very expensive?"
Luo Yan's eyes were glazed over, and his shoulders trembled as he said, "It's more than just expensive. I've only ever seen these top luxury brands in TV dramas. This whole closet of suits is probably worth millions."
Bai Miaomiao almost cried out, "Several... millions?"
Soon, Su Hang changed into a well-fitting and appropriate suit.
Liuli nodded with satisfaction, then reached out her slender hand to gently smooth down a stray strand of hair. "Clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse; this is the style of our Captain of the Imperial Crown."
Su Hang blushed furiously. He never expected that the so-called Vice Captain of the Imperial Crown would actually be his admired Teacher Fox God.
Luo Yan, who was standing nearby, quickly asked, "Miss, what is your relationship with Su Hang?"
Liuli rested her hand on her fair chin and said, "If I had to say, I am the Imperial Emperor's suitor."
"Suitors?"
Not only was Luo Yan stunned.
Even Su Hang himself blushed and was completely dumbfounded.
"You Yousu Team's support, Miaomiao, right?" Liuli turned to Bai Miaomiao and said with a smile, "No wonder the Imperial Emperor rejected my advances for you. You are indeed more pure and beautiful in person than in photos."
These words sounded like a huge irony to Bai Miaomiao. She was the school beauty in high school, but compared to the purple-haired, red-eyed woman in front of her, who was as beautiful as a rose, she was like an inconspicuous wildflower by the roadside.
Thank you for your compliment.
Bai Miaomiao felt ashamed of her appearance and humbly lowered her head.
"Let's go, Imperial Emperor." Liuli turned around and said, "We should return to the Imperial Crown Team."
"Wait! Madam." Head coach Pixiu suddenly stood up, looking at Liuli nervously, " Su Hang still has unresolved debts with our Yousu Team, he can't leave here."
"Debt?" Liuli narrowed her eyes, her voice filled with pressure. "What debt?"
Pixiu didn't dare look Liuli in the eye at all, tilting his head and sweating as he said, " Su Hang breached his contract with our Yousu Team and needs to compensate us Yousu Team one million RMB."
Upon hearing this, Su Hang lowered his head and clenched his fists.
"How much?" Liuli asked, covering her ears with her hands.
The Pixiu raised its voice and said, "One million."
"I thought it was a lot of money, but it's a million." Liuli chuckled. " Eve, give me the money."
The next second, ten bodyguards in black, carrying black briefcases, walked up to the head coach Pixiu, and then in unison opened the briefcases, revealing a thousand bundles of red banknotes that shocked everyone present.
"Each briefcase contains one million, all brand new cash withdrawn from the Bank of China, and it's even sealed," Liuli said nonchalantly, waving her hand dismissively. "Just pick any briefcase as Imperial Emperor's breach of contract penalty."
Head coach Pixiu swallowed hard.
"That's a lot of money."
The players from the Yousu Team next to them were stunned; they had never seen so much money in their lives.
On stage, Su Hang never expected that the Teacher Fox God, whom he had only met once, would actually pay off his hefty breach of contract penalty, or rather, it was the mysterious Imperial Crown Team behind the Teacher Fox God.
"Fool, let's go." Liuli grabbed Su Hang's arm and pulled him off the stage where he had been ridiculed and humiliated.
Looking at the woman's stunning profile, Su Hang felt a moment of unreality. Just a few minutes ago, he was the object of ridicule, but now he was the most envied person in the room.
Luo Yan cast a jealous glance at him.
He was probably jealous that he had such a wealthy heiress as a suitor.
Bai Miaomiao cast a hateful glance at her.
This Yueguang, who was her ideal woman from her student days, was always confident in her appearance, but compared to Yugong Hu, she was nothing.
The head coach, Pixiu, cast a regretful glance his way.
Perhaps he shouldn't have teamed up with management to fire himself, since if he could have secured sponsorship from Yugong Hu, Yousu Team could have avoided twenty years of detours.
but.
Now it's all over.
Su Hang suddenly felt a sense of revenge. He looked at Yugong Hu, whose heart-shaped diamond earrings were so dazzling that they completely dispelled the inferiority complex that had plagued him throughout his youth.
It is said that when God closes a door, he opens a window.
On his 18th birthday, instead of the window he was waiting for, he was greeted by Thorn Rose Princess, who kicked open the door, grabbed his arm, and pulled him from the darkness of loneliness into the warmth of the light.
At this moment, Su Hang finally understood the knight's mentality of protecting the Princess. Now he wanted to become the knight of Thorn Rose Princess. He would go wherever Thorn Rose Princess asked him to go, even if it meant death!
