The two women walked towards him with joyful faces.
They had thought Gu Siyue wasn't coming today, and had been saddened for a while, feeling that the ball was pointless.
Ye Lingling's eyes sparkled with excitement, while Dugu Yan's face was filled with a radiant smile.
Their appearance instantly eased the tense atmosphere.
Ye Lingling wore a light blue floor-length gown today, its flowing skirt resembling a blooming blue iris.
The dress was made of the finest silk, delicate and smooth, shimmering softly under the lights.
Exquisite white lace trim was carefully embroidered at the neckline, adding to her sweetness and elegance.
A silver ribbon was tied around her waist, outlining her slender waist and making her appear even more graceful.
Her long, flowing black hair was gently pulled back, with a few strands playfully falling beside her fair cheeks.
Her face was lightly powdered, her eyebrows like distant mountains, her eyes like stars, and her lips naturally red.
A pair of sapphire earrings dangled from her earlobes, swaying gently with her movements, shimmering with captivating light.
Dugu Yan, on the other hand,
chose a fiery red off-the-shoulder dress, passionate and fiery like a burning flame.
The dress was made of high-quality silk, its fitted cut perfectly showcasing her curvaceous figure.
The off-the-shoulder design highlighted her rounded shoulders and alluring collarbones, sexy yet elegant.
Her hair was styled in a high, ornate updo, adorned with a dazzling ruby hairpin.
Her makeup was exquisite and vibrant, her slender eyebrows slightly arched, her phoenix eyes sparkling with confidence and pride.
Her lips were painted with a vibrant lipstick, like ripe cherries, making one yearn to kiss them.
Some couples danced with practiced skill, their spins and shifts fluid and natural, each movement seemingly integrated with the music.
(PS: We'll reunite tomorrow, so I won't ramble on!)
He quickly weighed his options in his mind, ultimately deciding to do them a favor.
So, the knight slightly stepped aside, gesturing for them to enter, and said, "Since you're friends of the two ladies, please come in."
The main hall was decorated extremely luxuriously, with dazzling crystal chandeliers illuminating the entire space as if it were daytime.
Thick, opulent carpets covered the floor, and priceless paintings hung on the walls.
Under the brilliant lights, the people on the dance floor resembled fairies and elves from a dream.
Qian Renshang finally entered the main hall, and upon stepping inside, he was overwhelmed by the luxurious scene before him.
"Thank you!"
The ball begins!?
Qian Renshang repeated.
Many people in the hall recognized Qian Renshang, and seeing his strange, disoriented, and searching appearance, they couldn't help but turn their heads curiously.
They whispered among themselves, their eyes full of doubt and speculation.
Their eyes met, filled with deep affection, as if the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them.
Some were slightly awkward, but their nervousness and shyness only added to their charm.
They supported each other, exploring the rhythm of the dance steps together, and the occasional small mistakes turned into sweet laughter.
Although the two girls were full of curiosity about who Qian Renshang's friend was, now was clearly not the time to ask, so they tacitly suppressed their curiosity.
Even if Sister Nana was still asleep in the Star Dou Great Forest, and even if she woke up, she wouldn't come here.
Could it be that she came specifically to find them?
The knight didn't recognize Qian Renshang, but he did know Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, two well-known figures at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Meanwhile, the ball quickly began amidst lively and exciting music.
Couples gracefully entered the dance floor.
The gentlemen politely extended their hands, gently taking the ladies' hands; the ladies nodded slightly, their faces beaming with sweet smiles.
Qian Renshang was momentarily surprised to see Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, but quickly recovered.
He explained the situation to them with a slightly anxious expression.
Dugu Yan added, "Yes, please make an exception."
At this time, a large group of people had already gathered in the main hall.
They were all dressed in fine clothes, possessing extraordinary bearing, clearly of noble birth.
One was the only granddaughter of the Poison Douluo, backed by a powerful Title Douluo; the other was the only heir of the Ye family, whose influence was not to be underestimated.
Faced with such a figure, the knight knew he couldn't afford to offend him.
Damn it! Damn it!
Their steps were light and coordinated, as if they were walking on clouds, in time to the rhythm of the music.
Qian Renshang couldn't help but feel doubt:
But after searching carefully for a long time, he still couldn't find that familiar figure.
His eyes gradually dimmed, and his anticipation turned into deep disappointment.
"Could I have really seen wrong?
That wasn't Sister Nana."
Qian Renshang, however, remained standing alone, oblivious to the bustling scene, his heart filled with disappointment at not finding that figure.
But Qian Renshang had no time to dwell on this; his gaze swept through the crowd, his eyes urgent and focused, desperately searching for the figure that haunted his dreams!
Qian Renshang, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan quickly thanked him and hurried into the hotel.
He stood there, dejected, his heart filled with turmoil and confusion.
He gave a self-deprecating smile.
"Senior Yan, you two have come at the right time. I have a friend who might be inside.
This friend is really important to me.
I just saw someone who looked like her, so I rushed over without an invitation."
The two beautiful women, dressed in their finest attire, shone like two dazzling pearls in the crowd.
They all looked at the knight guarding the door.
Ye Lingling spoke first, her voice soft yet firm:
"Brother Knight, Qian Renshang is a friend of ours. We hope you can do us a favor."
The knight's expression softened slightly, but he remained hesitant, his gaze shifting between the three of them.
Seeing this, Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan quickly added a few more kind words, trying to persuade the knight.
"Your friend?"
In the dance floor, skirts fluttered and garments billowed.
The glitter of jewels shimmered, reflecting the lights and creating a beautiful scene.
"Yes, my friend, a very important one."
The men were dressed in sharp suits, their postures upright, while the women wore gorgeous gowns, their skirts swaying gracefully.
Dugu Yan was somewhat surprised.
Laughter filled the air, the atmosphere lively and joyful.
This was not just a dance, but an exchange of emotions and a fusion of hearts.
A group of people instantly revealed their lecherous nature!
Yu Tianheng felt utterly disgusted, like he'd just eaten shit.
Why was it Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling again?
Was Gu Siyue really that great?
How were the two of them supposed to get close to her?!
