The Engagement Revealed

As Xu Xingyu and Gu Yuena appeared, while the people around them admired the two, some still recognized them as the young master and master of the Spirit Contract Pagoda.

Therefore, after a series of probing attempts, they quickly stepped forward to show goodwill to Xu Xingyu and the other person, as if they wished their family could establish a closer relationship with the Spirit Contract Pagoda.

Since Gu Yuena is not very good at handling this kind of thing at the moment, she generally left it to Xu Xingyu to deal with, while she tried her best to agree with her and at the same time learned a little about human communication.

During this process, countless people invited Xu Xingyu or Gu Yuena to dance with them, but both of them refused, citing that they already had dance partners.

Overall, Xu Xingyu felt the banquet was quite good, a welcome respite from the long-awaited relaxation. Gu Yuena, on the other hand, was happy as long as she could be with Xu Xingyu.

Just then, the shouts of the crowd rang out again. Sensing the familiar presence, Xu Xingyu knew that the host of the banquet had finally arrived.

Then, Emperor Xu Jiawei of Star Luo Emperor made his official appearance, and beside him stood Princess Jiujiu, dressed in a magnificent purple gown.

Looking at Xu Jiujiu dressed in her finest attire Xu Xingyu couldn't help but sigh softly, "She truly lives up to her title as the princess of the Star Luo Empire; her clothes are clearly not something an ordinary person could afford."

Indeed. Anyone with eyes to see how expensive this dress, worn by Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire, is, can tell.

It was a fabric made from the fur of a very rare Soul Beast, and its name was Star Sheep.

The so-called Star Sheep is a nearly extinct Soul Beast. It is not particularly aggressive and prefers to live in high mountains near the starry sky.

Although Star Sheep are not a type of Soul Beast with high offensive capabilities, the defensive capabilities they provide are extremely strong.

It not only has good elasticity and toughness, but also excellent Soul Power conductivity, and can also achieve effects such as fireproofing, iceproofing, and poisonproofing.

However, because of the unique characteristics of Star Sheep's wool, it is forbidden to use Soul Power to cut it when shearing it, otherwise it will be impossible to cut.

Even so, the wool of the Star Sheep was still sought after by countless nobles, not only because of its excellent protective capabilities, but also because wearing its wool gave people a sense of superiority.

It can only be said that human greed is insatiable. Even knowing that it might lead to the extinction of a race, they will still carry out their greed.

Just like how humans in the past constantly hunted Soul Beast to obtain suitable Soul Ring and Soul Bone in order to break through their limits.

Things are a bit better now because Xu Xingyu's proposed Soul Spirit Method is more complete than the Soul Spirit System in the original work, and can truly allow humans and Soul Beast to obtain equal benefits.

However, this behavior only shifted humanity's greed elsewhere. If left unguided, this Soul Spirit System may become the root cause of the extinction of Soul Beast, just like in the original story.

This further strengthened Xu Xingyu's belief that she should properly guide the Spirit Contract Pagoda, unlike Huo Yuhao in the original work who abandoned it after establishing the tower without any responsibility.

Gu Yuena, however, had her attention elsewhere. She muttered a complaint, "We shouldn't have used purple when designing Xingyu's clothes. Doesn't this combination make Xingyu and that princess seem like a couple?"

Indeed, what she cared about more than the material of Xu Jiujiu's clothes was that they unexpectedly matched the suit she had designed for Xu Xingyu.

However, there's nothing that can be done about it. Although Gu Yuena is somewhat tolerant of Xu Xingyu having multiple women, as a woman, she can still get jealous.

Therefore, she highly values her status as Xu Xingyu's official girlfriend and future wife.

As it turns out, this newcomer happened to be wearing clothes that were very similar to Xu Xingyu's, making it seem like she was the one who came later!

While the two were still lost in their own thoughts, Xu Jiawei's voice rang out. "Welcome everyone to this banquet. I sincerely hope you all enjoy it."

After Xu Jiawei's subtle remarks, the banquet officially began, and music from the professional musicians started to fill the hall.

As the music started, many people began to dance with their partners.

Seeing that everyone had already started dancing, Xu Xingyu decided to invite Gu Yuena, who was standing next to her, to join in a dance.

However, just as he was about to speak, Xu Jiujiu appeared nearby without him noticing. Just as Xu Xingyu sensed something was wrong, Xu Jiujiu spoke.

With a smile, she said, "Would my dear fiancé like to dance with this little princess?"

As expected, things were just as troublesome as he had imagined, because when Xu Jiujiu used the word "fiancé" to describe him, some of the nobles around him were also very surprised.

After all, only some high-ranking ministers or the White Tiger Duke, who had a good relationship with the emperor, knew a little about the previous engagement between Xu Xingyu and Xu Jiujiu.

Therefore, only rumors circulated among the nobility, and not many people believed that this matter was true.

But now, Xu Jiujiu's calling him her fiancé has made those people realize that the previous rumors were not false, but true!

It's important to know that Princess Xu Jiujiu is the apple of the eye of the entire Star Luo Empire. As the most beloved daughter of the previous emperor and the most trusted sister of the current emperor, her status is second only to the emperor.

Such a person has quietly entered into a marriage agreement!

However, they felt relieved when they thought that their fiancé was Xu Xingyu, the young master of the Spirit Contract Pagoda.

Indeed, an ordinary person would not be worthy of Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire, but Xu Xingyu, as the young master of the Spirit Contract Pagoda, is absolutely qualified.

Over the years, the Spirit Contract Pagoda has gradually become the strongest force in the Douluo Continent. It not only has the support of the Soul Beast Clan, but also countless forces and families that submit to its Spirit Contract Pagoda.

Among them is the Clear Sky Sect, the leader of the Upper Three Sects who supported the Star Luo Empire ten thousand years ago, and who possesses the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one Tool Martial Soul in the world!

This isn't a question of whether the other person is worthy of their princess; the real question is whether their Star Luo Empire's princess is worthy of the other person!

Xu Jiujiu appeared and danced with Xu Xingyu. Afterwards, Xu Xingyu danced with Gu Yuena.
