The Governor's Palace, Yeliushen…
The banquet hall was crowded with young aristocrats dressed glamorously as countless gods and goddesses, some in pairs, some in groups.
Even the servants dressed like the nobles with a sparkling golden suit and purple satin cloth along with headdresses with very striking accessories. One of them moved towards the guests with a silver tray, offering attractive shaped pastries with colorful sugar.
Xi Xia, the host of the party, could not help himself from the temptation of the miniature ying tao fruit-shaped sweets.
Beside her, her older sister from another concubine chose a miniature peach-shaped and ungrateful candied.
Some noble girls dressed like fairies passed them, no doubt they inspired the favorite anime films of Fucking Writers.
An arrogant-looking young man was already drunk when the orchestra started playing.
Xi Xia noticed one of the officer-clothed young men who was crowding with the other young man. He thought it was Shin Wu. But it wasn't.
Xi Xia turned towards the large, circular staircase and swept a glance across the room.
Shin Wu was nowhere to be seen.
"Where is Brother Shin Wu?" xi Xia muttered in confusion, looking for his tall half-brother towered among the crowd.
"I haven't seen him either" said her half-sister.
"Hmm.." Xi Xia's eyes again combed the banquet hall, determined to keep her appearance cheerful, but in fact, her mood was rather gloomy tonight.
What's wrong with tonight?
All the curious highlights, sounds, and slick touches to his lavish birthday party should be able to enjoy, but he could not get rid of the strange feeling where he felt alienated.
The answer he could deduce, was probably because he had yet to see Shin Wu. Compared to his other half-brothers, Shin Wu was the one he cared about the most.
"Have you met Dad?" ask her half-sister.
"Yet," Xi Xia replied, ignoring the ironic tone of his half-brother's voice. He would not show the world that he was not in a hurry to meet his father.
He took a quick glance at his half-sister and said goodbye with an indistinct mutter and a brief nod, then hurriedly turned his body back at the girl, and rushed towards the stairs.
Upstairs, Xi Xia rushed into the dressing room for the women. He checked his appearance, checking her transparent pink queen dress twinkling white silk-coated on the inside - there were actually no special knick-knacks explaining whether it was a fairy dress or a queen dress, but in his opinion, the dress looked beautiful and radiant, it helped to improve her slightly gloomy mood.
After coming out of the dressing room a while later, she walked into the gallery that was on the balcony.
Shin Wu was not there either.
He stared into the colorful crowd that was fluttering beneath him.
Several youths crowded around the table, groups enjoying the wine.
Xi Xia's gaze wandered towards the double door at the end of the banquet hall that led to the terrace. Maybe he's in the park right now, he thought. So I decided to check it there.
She lifted the tip of her dress slightly and rushed down the stairs, exerting all her ability to move smoothly, so that no one could stop her now.
But when he passed by a group of women gathered on the staircase fence, he could not prevent himself from listening to the women's conversation.
"No, that's impossible! That guy made her cry out of pleasure?"
"Say the man broke his bed."
"Oh.. really energetic."
The women laughed.
Xi Xia tiptoed past them in shock, trying to keep the women unaware that he heard their chatter.
"I don't mind if he breaks my bed" another mutter sounded, staring at the floor of the hall.
"Hopefully your husband didn't hear what you said."
"He wouldn't care. He thinks I don't know anything about his new mistress, you idiot."
The women were now staring at the floor of the hall.
"Oh, no! Is he a Nephilim?" scream at the other woman.
"Dhh! Do you want the whole world to hear what you're saying?"
Shocked by the women's conversation, Xi Xia followed their gaze toward the center of the hall floor, and when he saw who the source of their gossip was, the girl spontaneously stopped her steps.
No wonder all women go crazy, Xi Xia thought.
That man..so beautiful!
But it was true what they said earlier, that man had Nephilim traits.
Porcelain white taper face, copper brown hair, with a height of about one hundred and eighty, stocky and sturdy. The man wearing a cloak covered in armor gleamed with pride, showing clearly that what he was wearing was not a costume for the party. The man even presented himself as a military-upstanding body, a puffed up chest, straight shoulders, and raised chin. The confidence he had as he walked with an authoritative and alert movement, as if asserting that he had won the war more than once.
"Who is he?" A woman asked her friend.
After subconsciously descending a few more steps, Xi Xia now heard the conversation from the other group of women.
"Yes, geez. You didn't know? She's the only good catch for the matchmaking season this time."
"He is the second son of emperor Tio Bing" said the other woman. "General Tio Jun. Just arrived from an expensive war."
"It's so handsome" muttered the other woman.
Crown prince? Xi Xia's attention was again seized.
Did the emperor have concubines from the god race?
As the man moved on the floor of the hall, everyone in the place seemed to want to know him. The men bowed respectfully, linking their two hands in front of the chest and greeted him enthusiastically, while the women, here and there clinging and wriggling to greet near her slippery shaved cheeks.
If he was a Yuoji, it is certain that such a handsome man would no longer exist on earth.
The Yuoji elders of the Guardian Spirit Hall sentenced everyone to death with the features of the god race.
It is even adored here.
Especially since he was also the son of the emperor!
The man seemed to have no objection to the praises that many people had placed on him, but something seemed to be troubling his attention.
The man was unceasingly combing through the crowd with a keen looking gaze, like someone who was hunting, but what kind of quarry was he looking for? Xi Xia was curious.
Then suddenly, silently and without warning, the man looked at him, and Xi Xia found himself just frozen under the gaze of his golden brown eyes.
As soon as the man's gaze came to a halt on her, Xi Xia instantly fell silent. Not moving, not blinking, not even breathing.
Being under the sharp observation of the man, Xi Xia felt uneasy by his sensual glare.
Then a mischievous smile seemed to be on the corner of the man's lips.
Xi Xia gulped. An incident like this was truly shocking to him and felt even more unpleasant to him.
Xi Xia decided to consider himself to hate the man.
