Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Fangtian Halberd, Empowers Me with Filial Piety

Chapter 232 The Ball Begins! The First Scene of a Battleground!
"Moon? Are you there?"

Jiang Yi stood in front of Gu Yue's cabin door and knocked again, but there was no response from inside.

"They've disappeared in just a short while?"

Jiang Yi withdrew his hand and rubbed his head helplessly.

She was in the room half an hour ago, and then she disappeared in the blink of an eye—was she that busy?
"Then I'll leave first!"

He shook his head and turned to leave.

Click, click.

Just then, several cabin doors nearby opened one after another, and several familiar figures emerged.

"Hey! Isn't this Jiang Yi? What a coincidence!"

Dai Yun'er peeked out from the next room and saw Jiang Yi in the corridor; her eyes lit up.

She wore a pale yellow dress with a flowing skirt, and unlike her usual lively and playful self, she now truly looked like a dignified and elegant princess.

"..."

Jiang Yi glanced at her, then his gaze swept over the other people who appeared one after another.

Su Mu, Dai Yueyan, Long Yue... and the other members of the Eight Monster Kings were basically all present.

Yoshi, that's really something!
"It's a bit of a coincidence."

Jiang Yi rolled his eyes; he finally understood what was going on.

After all that fuss, it turned out that Dai Yun'er and her friends were behind it all. However, he didn't expose them; he just agreed with them.

"Perfect timing! We're going to the dance too, Brother Jiang Yi, let's go together!"

Long Yue stepped forward with a smile and put his arm around his shoulder.

The journey to Xingluo will take at least one or two months. During the journey, everyone will be bored and can chat more.

Jiang Yi is the only opponent he has encountered in recent years that he can admire.

Keep in mind that he was five years older than the other person, but their cultivation levels were almost the same.

"Yes! Yes!"

Dai Yun'er also came over and took the opportunity to grab Jiang Yi's other arm.

She tilted her delicate little face up, her eyes blinking like a little fox wagging its tail.

In the next two months, I, Dai Yun'er, will surely trick you into revealing even your underwear...

Regardless of the situation, with eight against one, the advantage is in my hands!
"Oh well!"

Jiang Yi was sandwiched between the two men on either side, and could only nod helplessly.

He sent a message to Xu Xiaoyan, and was then surrounded by a group of people as he walked towards the central hall.

……

Meanwhile, in the Shrek Academy residential area.

"The Cunning Monster Academy..."

Xu Xiaoyan had just changed into her dress when she received a message from Jiang Yi.

"However, Jiang Yi is mine tonight..."

She muttered something under her breath, carefully straightened her skirt, and cautiously pushed open the door to go out.

Based on her observations, Wu Ling's attitude towards Jiang Yi has suddenly changed in the past six months for some reason.

In addition, she didn't see Gu Yue on the boat during the day. As Jiang Yi's third childhood sweetheart, she was bound to lose.

Ye Xinglan? A blond loser, nothing to fear! Yuan En Yehui even went out dressed as a man, how could he possibly be a match for me, Emperor Xu…

However, she opened the door with great confidence and ran into Yuan En Ye Hui from across the street.

"???"

In an instant, Xu Xiaoyan's eyes widened, and even her small hands that were holding up her skirt froze.

Yuan Enhui's original orange-red short hair had disappeared, replaced by a head of smooth purple hair, elegantly draped over her shoulders.

The pale purple dress accentuated her stunning curves, and her calves were straight and slender beneath the hem. Her face still had the familiar heroic features, but now it had gained a touch of elegance.

"Yuan En, is this you?"

Xu Xiaoyan tilted her head and uttered a profound question.

"It's me! But at this time, I'm still quite thin..."

Yuan Enhui nodded somewhat reservedly.

She doesn't usually show this side of herself much, so it's a bit strange to suddenly reveal it now.

"Yuanen, you're cheating!"

Xu Xiaoyan looked her over and then suddenly realized that this was her fallen angel form.

But who would attend a ball with their Martial Soul activated?
"What cheating?"

The door to the next room opened, and Ye Xinglan came out, asking curiously.

She wore a light apricot-colored dress that accentuated her tall and beautiful figure, adding a touch of girlish tenderness to her usually aloof demeanor.

Following that, the others also came out one after another.

Wu Siduo wore a long black satin dress with a hem that drooped like raven feathers. She stood quietly by the door, like a black swan with its wings folded.

Tang Wuling also attended the event in full regalia, with a white pleated skirt that concealed her long, slender legs, and a rabbit hair clip that gave her both cuteness and sexiness.

The girls each have their own distinct styles, but they all share one thing in common—

Large, large, extra-large...

Xu Xiaoyan's gaze swept over them, then she looked down at herself, her eyes gradually becoming like those of a salted fish who had lost all dreams.

broken!

Why do I feel like, probably, maybe... I should sit at the kids' table?
When is Jiang Yi coming?

Ye Xinglan looked at both ends of the corridor.

The girls were mostly present, and Yue Zhengyu also came out, but Jiang Yi and Xie Xie were missing. "No need to wait, he was 'borrowed' by the people from Monster Academy."

Xu Xiaoyan pursed her lips, feeling utterly disheartened.

Actually, it's quite cute when it's small...

"Then let's go straight there."

Yuan Enhui nodded slightly, signaling everyone to set off.

"Wait, Xie Xie doesn't seem to have come out either!"

At this moment, Wu Siduo glanced around, then suddenly raised her hand and weakly reminded him.

"Oh, that guy! I just saw him. He said he discovered an artificial hot spring and wanted to try it out, so we didn't have to wait for him..."

Le Zhengyu stepped forward and offered a proactive explanation.

Jiang Yi wasn't there, and Xie Xie had gone to the hot springs, so this was the perfect time for him to act as the protector of the flower.

He loosened his bow tie and struck what he thought was a handsome pose, but unfortunately, none of the girls' eyes lingered on him.

"Well, let's go then."

Yuan Enhui gave a faint reply.

"Let's go!"

Ye Xinglan took Yuan Enyehui's arm, and the girls walked towards the hall, chatting and laughing.

Lok Ching-woo: ...

He watched their retreating figures, silently lowering his hand from adjusting his bow tie, feeling somewhat depressed.

When have I, the heir of a noble angel family, ever been treated like this?
……

The banquet hall of the Starship is located on the second floor.

When the Shrek team arrived, the hall was already packed with people.

"This way!"

As Yuan Enhui and the others entered the hall, the first thing they saw was Jiang Yi waving at them.

He was surrounded by several people from Monster Academy, but he appeared calm.

Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the party.

Dai Yueyan was the first to stand up and greet the Shrek Academy students on behalf of Monster Academy.

His gaze swept over the girls in front of him, and even as a prince, a hint of amazement still flashed in his eyes.

The girls from Shrek Academy possess extraordinary charm; when they stand together, they resemble a hundred flowers in full bloom, making it impossible not to take a second look.

The Shrek members all nodded in agreement.

"Xie Xie didn't come?"

Jiang Yi also walked over and glanced at the Shrek Academy members.

The girls' outfits were indeed eye-catching, but he had seen them many times in private and had expected it.

Let alone formal attire, even... cough cough, he's seen it before.

He said he'd be there later.

Xu Xiaoyan shrugged and quietly moved half a step closer to Jiang Yi, taking up a favorable position.

"Ok!"

Jiang Yi noticed her little gesture and couldn't help but laugh, reaching out to gently pinch her cheek.

"Xiao Yan, you look quite cute today."

Among a group of hot, mature women, Xu Xiaoyan's petite and delicate Lolita-style figure has a refreshing and playful charm.

Yes, he's definitely not a lolicon!

"really?"

Xu Xiaoyan's eyes lit up, and her whole body trembled instantly.

Let me just say...

Just then, with a snap, the lights in the hall went out, and two beams of light shone onto the central platform.

"Welcome to tonight's banquet, everyone. I am Sima Lanxiao, the Foreign Minister of the Star Luo Empire..."

"Today, we'll have some games to choose the most handsome man and the most handsome woman... Tonight, we'll drink until we drop! So, let the ball officially begin!"

Sima Lanxiao stepped onto the stage, holding a soul tool, and delivered a passionate speech that immediately stirred up the atmosphere of the entire audience.

Applause and laughter surged like waves, and couples were already stepping onto the dance floor, accompanied by melodious music.

"Please make yourselves at home, everyone. I must take my leave now."

Dai Yueyan smiled and stood up, gesturing an invitation to a girl from Monster Academy.

As a prince, he naturally had to set an example and liven up the atmosphere in this setting.

"Jiang Yi, how about it? How about dancing with this princess?"

Under everyone's gaze, Dai Yun'er was the first to stand up and come to Jiang Yi to extend an invitation.

However, her actions seemed to trigger something, and the girls from Shrek Academy all turned to look at her.

Yuan Enhui, Ye Xinglan, Xu Xiaoyan, Wu Siduo... and Tang Wuling, who pretends not to care.

"Cough cough..."

Jiang Yi licked his lips, looked at the expectant girls in front of him, and coughed lightly.

My leg might be a little sore...

Just as Jiang Yi was pondering how to avoid a mishap, a clear, cold voice suddenly rang out, causing all the women to turn around and look.

"Jiang Yi, let's go."

A young girl in a white dress walked through the crowd and, under everyone's gaze, naturally took his hand.
