Chapter 379 The most dazzling thing tonight...
"Since you're here, don't rush off." Erii suddenly smiled at Li Muyang with narrowed eyes, and naturally took his arm. "Perfect timing, my brother asked me to attend an interesting banquet in his place. Go and cover for him!"
Li Muyang's lips twitched. Could it be one of those... shield-using scenarios?
I never imagined I would face such a situation one day.
"When?" Although he didn't really want to go, Li Muyang still asked.
Erii chuckled and said, "Tonight!"
Li Muyang thought about it and realized he didn't have anything else to do. Tonight wasn't out of the question, was it? Actually, he had only heard about these kinds of things, but had never seen them in person. Going to see them was just a way to join in the fun, so it didn't matter!
Most importantly, Erii spoke up!
Furthermore, Li Muyang didn't want Erii to be surrounded by a group of men with ulterior motives! He felt uncomfortable about it!
After telling the Miyano sisters and Xia He, Li Muyang decided to stay at the Uesugi family home for the time being, since he would definitely need to change into a formal suit if he were to attend the banquet.
There's no need to customize now; Li Muyang already has quite a few styles on hand, all of them body-hugging designs, which he created himself in his spare time.
However… Erii looked at Li Muyang with a sly grin and made a suggestion: Don't wear a suit! Wear ancient costume instead!
So, Erii changed into an extravagantly gorgeous kimono, looking like a princess who had stepped out of a dimension, while Li Muyang also changed into a fantasy-style ancient robe.
After adjusting her temperament and aura, she looks like she's traveled through time, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance and nobility. Who would dare say she's a modern person?
Looking at the Uesugi family's maids around him, their staring eyes and slightly flushed faces showed that Li Muyang was now the real "eye-catching artifact," a walking embodiment of hormones!
That's why senior sect elders can recognize prodigies at a glance. Anyone with decent cultivation talent is unlikely to be ugly. After a little guidance, their looks and demeanor far surpass those of any actor! They become the center of attention wherever they go!
Sensing that her maids seemed to be plotting to seize power and overthrow the Heavenly Gang, Erii, as if asserting her sovereignty, once again took Li Muyang's arm and glared at the maids, saying, "Stop looking! Aren't you looking at my brother enough every day?"
Well, to be fair, both of my brothers-in-law, Genjiro and Genjiro, are actually very handsome men and beautiful women... oops! They have different styles, but Genjiro is just too beautiful.
Genjiro was merely handsome with a touch of effeminacy, but Genjiro was born with the wrong gender.
The maids respected Miss Erii quite a bit, and they might have had a good relationship in private, but they certainly wouldn't joke around in the current situation. After being warned, they all lowered their heads and dared not stare at Li Muyang anymore.
I'm scared... cough cough!
As expected! This man has raised the young lady's standards too high! No wonder she can't stand other men!
Compared to Li Muyang, all the maids felt that their master was slightly inferior!
On the way to the banquet venue, Erii gave a brief overview of the theme of the event.
Actually, it was just a group of foreign guests visiting Japan.
From a kingdom called Vesbania, a country that has been quite unstable recently. A few months ago, the reigning Queen Sacra died from an accidental shotgun discharge, and Prince Gil, the first in line to the throne, committed suicide with a pistol because he was overwhelmed with guilt over his mother's death from the accidental discharge of his shotgun.
With both the current and successor rulers dying mysteriously, only a princess named Mira remains, who is about to ascend the throne. However, it seems that there are some opinions among the people of their country regarding her succession. Therefore, sending this princess out is a way to avoid the limelight.
"However... something feels off." Erii frowned slightly and pondered, "Putting aside the fact that the Queen and the Prince died inexplicably, I also heard that Princess Mira had a good reputation in their country before this! Why are there so many opposing voices when it comes to her succession?"
Li Muyang listened quietly to Erii's train of thought, without interrupting her. He just thought to himself, "It seems this girl hasn't seriously read the Bleach Elementary School storyline."
So... I hope I don't run into Ai again tonight?
Yes, it's quite obvious that this is a special theatrical film plot of Bleach Elementary School, a crossover with the world-class thief Lupin III.
"Want some spoilers?" Li Muyang asked with a wicked smile.
Erii paused for a moment, glared at Li Muyang, but couldn't suppress her curiosity: "What's going on?"
"It was all done by that Duke Gilard." Li Muyang directly exposed the identity of the mastermind. Of course, this was only the real culprit in the story. As for whether there would be other variables in this world, Li Muyang was not sure at the moment.
Of course, even though that's been said, there are bound to be changes.
"Oh." Suddenly knowing who the murderer was, Erii immediately entered "sage mode" and lost interest in the matter.
As for Kirard being the Queen's younger brother... so what? Erii isn't a naive girl; she has a unique understanding of human nature, so it's not incomprehensible that such a situation of fratricide would occur.
The driver broke out in a cold sweat. His young lady and son-in-law were really too bold. After all, it was a high-level royal family infighting in a kingdom, yet the two of them said it so casually and didn't seem to take it to heart at all.
Well, the fact that Erii could bring him to the banquet made the driver think Li Muyang was no different from a son-in-law.
However, professional ethics still make drivers drive honestly and responsibly, ignoring anything they shouldn't hear.
Upon arriving at the banquet venue, the two stepped out of the car at the invitation of the receptionist. Even the well-trained receptionist was stunned by Li Muyang and Erii! Good heavens! Their looks and demeanor! And their outfits! Are you two here to cause trouble?
The receptionist was startled awake by the driver's soft cough after the two had walked quite a distance. She gave the driver a thank-you look and hurriedly caught up with the two, almost failing in her duty! If the manager found out, she would definitely lose her job.
The two of them, with their looks and charisma, completely overshadowed everyone else in the venue! These two ethereal figures made a powerful entrance, immediately drawing everyone's attention!
Oh my god! Did a fairy come tonight?
If it were just Erii, perhaps only men would be amazed. After all, with Li Muyang activating and replenishing her bloodline power, and having devoured the White Queen, Erii could be described as a true dragon now, not to mention that she is also cultivating!
Cultivation influences one's appearance and temperament, making Erii increasingly stunning! And there's absolutely no artificial or unnatural quality; it's the work of nature itself! The very creation of the goddess Nuwa!
As for Li Muyang, he went all out to support Erii! The charm he was unleashing now was more than just "slaying women"! Even the males present couldn't help but feel inferior! Some even felt that their own preferences weren't so rigid after all.
Suddenly I understand why Zeus liked some handsome young men... cough cough!
Princess Mira, who had been looking impatient, was stunned when she saw the two people entering!
Compared to the two people in front of her, she, the princess, seems like a fake!
Minister Keith, standing nearby, also straightened up. Although he had sent an invitation to the Snake-Headed Eight Families, he hadn't expected it to be this little princess! Most importantly, if he wasn't mistaken about the identity of the man beside her, he should be…
In a sense, this might really be a deity.
With Keith's high-ranking official position, he could easily obtain Li Muyang's "immortal" status!
However, Li Muyang is usually elusive, appearing only briefly before disappearing. No one knows where he goes. Most people believe that Li Muyang returned to the Immortal Realm after finishing his work, which is why they can't find him.
But no one thought of causing trouble for Li Muyang, unless they didn't want to live. The group that was slashed to death last time are still lying in the hospital. The strange thing is that it looks like it's broken, but it also seems like it's not broken. With modern medical technology, it can't be cured anyway, so they can only leave it as is.
In other words, many people were curious about Li Muyang's methods, keeping these victims alive to study this kind of spatial cutting. Otherwise, these people who couldn't take care of themselves would have all died long ago.
Of course, they didn't figure anything out, they only knew that the incision was like opening a spatial door.
From a spatial perspective, it appears to be severed, but from a material perspective, it is not severed. The strange thing is that the severed part cannot be controlled.
It seems broken yet not broken, seemingly broken but not broken... as if broken!
Li Muyang and Erii entered the venue in a grand manner, greeted the princess and ministers, and then went to enjoy the food with great interest.
At the same time, a "Do Not Disturb" barrier is activated. If an ordinary person tries to approach, they will be inexplicably stunned halfway through their journey, and then turn around and leave on their own.
The simplest way to avoid trouble is to keep troublesome people away.
Anyway, no one is going to make a scene here, and even if someone does something unconventional, Li Muyang and Erii can simply pretend they didn't hear it.
So what if you yell so loudly? We just didn't hear you!
This is determined by subjective factors!
Princess Mira initially wanted to talk to the two men because she was curious. Keith knew a lot about them, but she didn't know much about them. However, after learning from Keith that the two men were incredibly strong and were like monsters when they fought, Princess Mira lost interest in approaching them.
Just kidding, she's skipping work later!
If I attract their attention, how will I escape later? What if I get blocked halfway? I'm just an ordinary person; I can't possibly slip away right under the noses of two extraordinary experts, can I?
