Chapter 219: 142: Amazement at talent! Stunning the whole audience! Welcome guests!_2

She took a deep breath, then slipped into the little black dress.

Gazing at herself in the mirror, she stared blankly for a good while before feeling a twinge in her nose.

There was a saying, "Beauty so overwhelming it almost brings tears to your eyes."

She knew the dress would look good, but she hadn’t realized that on her, it would be... so stunning, so beautiful.

It was as if, even in the darkness, it would radiate light.

Immediately after, she sensed a dangerous aura. Because this beauty was weakening her dominance, her own temperament seemed to adapt to the dress, her eyes seemingly exuding a sort of innocence?

"Are you ready, Miss Yan Shuang? I need to come in to match a necklace for you, and arrange your hair accessory," Suo Lun said.

"I’m ready, come in," Yan Shuang said.

Suo Lun opened the door and stepped in, then stumbled.

The moment Yan Shuang turned her face in the black dress, she really looked like a brilliant star, like a luminous pearl in the dark, a beauty that truly dazzled him.

He had been worried that Yan Shuang’s figure was too voluptuous for the dress, that it wouldn’t suit her.

However, his worries were completely unnecessary. Her curves were indeed voluptuous, but her stature of 176 centimeters fully showcased the dress’s beauty.

Even more, due to her devilish curves, the dress on her brought more icy allure and sensuality than that of the elfin woman from the movies.

...

The banquet was held in the Conference Hall of Tianye City.

As expected, Yan Shuang was late, but what of it? Wasn’t it normal for a beauty of her caliber to be late?

All the guests were chatting on one side while waiting for the beauty to appear.

After all, she was the leading beauty of the frontier; although often seen, she was always clad in armor.

For tonight’s banquet, she was bound to wear a woman’s dress, and all the men were prepared to feast their eyes.

And all the women, filled with envy, were waiting for Yan Shuang to make a fool of herself. That woman was exceedingly beautiful, but she was born the wrong gender when it came to fashion – she certainly had no clue about it.

Maybe she’d even show up in her silver armor, or at best, choose some randomly bought outfit.

Whereas, their outfits had been carefully prepared more than a dozen days in advance. Though they couldn’t surpass her beauty, people relied on clothes, and tonight, the limelight was meant to overshadow her.

While waiting for Yan Shuang to show up, these women looked enviously at the lady being fawned over at the center of the room.

She was dressed in a long blue gown; under the lights, crystals on it twinkled and glittered. Her fair, proud body was highlighted, making her all the more enchanting.

She was the most beautiful woman present, Ji Qianqian, the daughter of the Lord of Tianye City. Her blue lace gown had been custom-tailored for her by a royal tailor brought all the way from the City of Rage Wave.

This attire was indeed perfect, making the already charming Ji Qianqian the center of attention.

She engaged the men around her in perfunctory conversation while glancing at the doorway with the corner of her eye, awaiting Yan Shuang’s arrival.

All along, she had been indignant about Yan Shuang’s so-called title of the frontier’s leading beauty. Clearly she, Ji Qianqian, was the belle of the ball; could Yan Shuang, always in armor, hold a candle to her? Who knew what her body underneath the armor even looked like?

Did a woman who didn’t even know how to dress deserve to be called the most beautiful?

"The Silver Wolf Legion, Miss Yan Shuang has arrived!" announced the emcee.

At once, the hall fell silent, all eyes, men and women alike, turned toward the entrance.

The carriage stopped, Suo Lun got off first, and Yan Shuang, arm in his, gracefully alighted from the carriage, walking from the darkness into the brightly lit

Instantly, the whole room held its breath, their eyes widening in surprise.

This... this was a sprite walking out of the night.

In the darkness, her dress seemed to blend into the night, making the entire darkness part of her gown.

In the lamplight, her dress shimmered in the deepest black, as if all the lights had become the backdrop for it.

Indeed, the moment she appeared, every other woman in the room paled in comparison.

The radiant Ji Qianqian, once dazzling, seemed as if coated in a layer of dust.

This beauty, so sudden and unexpected, rendered the room silent, not even words of praise could be uttered in time.

Looking at the black dress on Yan Shuang, Ji Qianqian felt an overwhelming surge of jealousy. Her complexion shifted rapidly as she broke the silence, approaching Yan Shuang with a sweet voice, "Sister Yan Shuang, that dress is simply stunning. Where did you buy it?"

Yan Shuang turned to Suo Lun beside her and said, "He made it for me."

Only then did people notice the man beside Yan Shuang; until that moment, everyone had indeed overlooked his presence.

However, the man seemed so rugged and uncouth. Standing next to Yan Shuang, there truly was a beauty and the beast vibe.

It was unclear why Yan Shuang would bring him along.

Ji Qianqian’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Suo Lun and asked, "May I know who you are, Master? Could you make a dress for me, too?"

"He’s my date, not a dressmaker," Yan Shuang stated flatly.

A date? Everyone was stunned. It was well-known that Yan Shuang was selecting a future husband. Many young and outstanding suitors vied fiercely for her hand, only to return defeated and heartbroken.

Could this crudely featured man, who appeared to be in his thirties, be her new suitor?

This was incredulous. Such a man was not even fit to be Yan Shuang’s servant.

At that moment, the master of ceremonies’ voice rang out from outside again, "A distinguished guest from Zhi Du has arrived."

Immediately, everyone in the hall ceased their small talk and, according to their status, neatly lined up in two rows to await the arrival of the guest from Zhi Du.

Standing as the representative of her father from the Silver Wolf Legion, Yan Shuang took the first position on the left, with Suo Lun by her side, basking in her light.

Everyone waited for the arrival of the distinguished guest from the City of Rage Wave.

A splendid carriage pulled up in the courtyard, and to everyone’s surprise, the coachman was none other than the City Lord of Tianye City.

Though the City Lord was elected by a council of elders, he was still a lord of a city. Yet here he was, serving as a coachman.

After the carriage had stopped, the Lord of Tianye City himself opened the door. The distinguished guest alighted, revealing his face.

Suo Lun was taken aback when he saw the man’s face.

It was an incomparably handsome man, whose beauty was no less than Suo Lun’s and handsomeness surpassed that of Ling Ao.

His white clothing was whiter than snow, his face as smooth as jade.

Without a doubt, this was the most beautiful man Suo Lun had seen since he arrived in this world.

But who was this man? He... didn’t recognize him.

Moreover, Tianye City had gone to great lengths to welcome him, a grandeur unbefitting even for ordinary royal offspring.

So, who was this stunning man, and why had Suo Lun never heard of him in the Royal City?

Then, another person alighted from the carriage, a woman of unparalleled beauty, likely the companion of the handsome man.

And this woman looked somewhat familiar; she bore some resemblance to Gui Qinshao.

Suo Lun quickly realized who the woman was.

Turing Duo, the undisputed number one beauty of Royal City Academy whom he had only heard of but never met.

Note: The first installment of four thousand words is delivered. I don’t know why I was so tired last night that I went to bed without writing. But I couldn’t sleep well and barely got more than four hours of rest. It wasn’t until twelve noon today that I got up to start writing, which is why I’m an hour late.
