Chapter 142 Flirting with a Girl in Front of Meng Hongchen?
"Greetings, young master. My name is Xia Mingyue. May I have a drink with you?"
The girl at the head of the group looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a lovely appearance. She wore a long, white dress that exuded elegance.
Yun Ze smiled slightly. "Of course, I'll drink first as
a sign of respect." He raised his glass, gestured lightly, and then downed it in one gulp, showing no intention of clinking
glasses with the girl. Xia Mingyue wasn't annoyed by Yun Ze's action. She smiled slightly and finished her drink as well.
"Your alcohol tolerance is quite good," Yun Ze said with a smile. Xia Mingyue shook her head. "That's all I can manage. Another cup and I really won't be able to."
As she finished speaking, a pitiful look appeared in her eyes, which, combined with her fair face, made her very alluring.
Many noblemen around them narrowed their eyes, but out of respect for Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen's status, they didn't dare approach casually.
Xia Mingyue held a high position among the noblemen of Mingdu and was considered a goddess by many.
Both her appearance and family background were exceptional.
Her father, Xia Xuanchen, was the vice-captain of the Evil Monarch Soul Master Corps, one of the three major Soul Master Corps of the Sun Moon Empire, a powerful Title Douluo, and also an eighth-level Soul Master himself.
Besides the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps, the other two Soul Master Corps of the Sun Moon Empire were tied to two major powers.
The leader of the Evil Monarch Soul Master Corps was Wang Yiheng, ostensibly a top-tier military figure in the Sun Moon Empire, but actually a man of Crown Prince Xu Tianran.
Originally, the Evil Monarch Soul Master Corps was called the Mad Dragon Soul Master Corps, and along with the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps led by the royal family's direct descendant, Sun Douluo Xu Tianyuan, they were the two most elite Soul Master Corps in the Sun Moon Empire. However, after Nie Feng resigned from his position as leader of the Mad Dragon Soul Master Corps, Wang Yiheng succeeded him.
That change was actually secretly orchestrated by Xu Tianran; after Wang Yiheng took over, he renamed the Mad Dragon Soul Master Corps the Evil Monarch Soul Master Corps.
The most mysterious of the three major Soul Master Corps is the Radiant Moon Soul Master Corps, a highly specialized Soul Guidance unit. Most of its members are strategic Soul Masters, and their Soul Guidance Devices are the largest in terms of operational range. The
Radiant Moon Soul Master Corps is said to have close ties with the Sun Moon Empire's Hall of Worship and is the only unit besides the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps that doesn't need to be deployed to the front lines.
Xia Mingyue's father, Xia Xuanchen, is also a true princeling. Yun Ze doesn't know if the girl came because of his appearance or at Xu Tianran's request.
But drinking and chatting is fine.
Yun Ze glanced at Xia Mingyue, then suddenly his gaze shifted, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Generally, at such banquets, most girls choose to wear bright and beautiful clothes, but this girl is wearing a black evening gown, which, combined with her incredibly dark black hair, makes her look like an elf of the night.
"This girl is a bit strange," Ilex warned in his mind.
"I know, her aura bothers me," Yun Ze replied.
There could only be one aura that could intrigue Yunze, a necromancer.
"I must say, this Xu Tianran is quite audacious, openly sending an evil spirit master to the palace for a banquet." A strange glint flashed in Yunze's eyes, and he surprisingly walked towards her.
Meng Hongchen was about to reach out when Yunze's voice echoed in her mind, "Stay where you are. This girl is a bit strange; don't come any closer."
Hearing this, Meng Hongchen felt relieved and remained rooted to the spot.
Seeing Yunze approach, the girl in the black dress remained expressionless, calmly looking at him. "Is there something you need, young master?"
"There are many beautiful young ladies at the banquet, but I've never seen anyone as striking as you, sister." Yunze smiled, extending his hand in an inviting gesture. "Would you do me the honor of having a drink?"
The girl in the black dress glanced at Yunze. "
Of course." She then turned away, gracefully walking to where Yunze had been standing, picking up a wine glass, and looking at him. "Shall we clink glasses?"
"Of course." Yunze smiled, filling his own glass and clinking glasses with hers.
Xia Mingyue, standing nearby, narrowed her eyes slightly.
The girl in the black dress's drinking gestures lacked the elegance of typical noblewomen; instead, they appeared quite casual. After finishing her glass of wine, the girl in the black dress remained incredibly pale, without a trace of color; her alcohol tolerance was quite impressive.
"Sister's alcohol tolerance is truly remarkable," Yunze said with a smile. "It's alright.
The wine is good, but not very strong; it's just for fun," the girl in the black dress replied calmly.
"Young master, may I have another drink with you?" Just then, Xia Mingyue suddenly spoke up. She moved gracefully to Yunze's side, extending her hand to offer him a wine glass.
Yunze glanced at her and shook his head politely, "Sorry, my alcohol tolerance isn't as good as this sister's, I probably can't drink anymore."
Xia Mingyue's eyes turned cold upon hearing this, "Young master, do you look down on me?"
"What, trying to bully Xiaoze?" Before Yunze could speak, Meng Hongchen stepped forward to protect him, "Xia Mingyue, others may be afraid of your father, but I'm not. If you're so capable, have a drink with me!"
"The eldest daughter of the Hongchen family?" Xia Mingyue was taken aback, then snorted, "Never mind, I have things to do, you two have fun."
"Young master, my sister has a good memory, I hope we can have another drink together next time."
Yunze nodded, "Alright, take care."
Upon hearing this, Xia Mingyue paused, then quickened her pace and went to another table.
"Aren't you going against the eldest daughter of the Xia family?" The girl in the black dress gently swirled her wine glass and asked calmly.
"Compared to her, I still prefer being with my sister." Yunze said with a smile.
The girl in the black dress glanced at Meng Hongchen beside her. "Saying that in front of your female companion, aren't you afraid she'll get jealous?"
"Sister Meng, are you jealous?" Yunze turned his head and asked Meng Hongchen.
Meng Hongchen rolled her eyes. "Of course not!"
Yunze smiled and turned to look at the girl in the black dress. "See, she's not."
The girl in the black dress shrugged and drank another cup. "Do you think today's banquet was interesting?"
"It was alright. The food was much better than at the academy, but there were a lot of people, and I wasn't used to it." Yunze said. "By the way, sister, after chatting for a while, I still don't know your name. My name is Yunze."
"Longxi." The girl in the black dress said.
Surname Long?
"So you're Sister Long. But I don't think I've ever heard of any noble family in Mingdu with the surname Long. Do you know any, Sister Meng?" Yunze asked Meng Hongchen again.
Meng Hongchen thought for a moment and shook her head. "I don't know either."
"I don't belong to any noble faction, nor am I a henchman of any royal family member," said Long Xi, the girl in the black dress. "Like you, I'm just an ordinary person without any power."
"Sister, do you know me?"
"I've heard of you. You're the most popular student at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy recently, a level three Soul Master at only eleven years old," Long Xi nodded.
Yun Ze smiled slightly. "I didn't expect I'd be so popular in Mingdu."
"You're just going to talk to me about this?" Long Xi glanced at Yun Ze and said indifferently.
Just as Yun Ze was about to speak, suddenly, a voice rang in his mind, "After the banquet, come with me to a place."
Yun Ze was startled, then looked at Long Xi in front of him, his eyes narrowing slightly!
