Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 185 Dance
He doesn't really like to repeatedly pick out clothes; he usually just chooses something that looks decent when he goes out.

Finally, using this as a template, dozens of outfits of the same type were made, to the point that if you didn't look closely, you would notice that the clothes were the same every day...

Although the styles of the clothes are the same, the quality is absolutely excellent, and you can feel the comfortable texture of the fabric as soon as you put them on.

Organize the clothes and place them on the bed.

Since it was still early, Lin Xingyu decided to take a stroll on the deck.

On the first day at sea, while there was still time, Makino, not knowing where he was, decided to go for a stroll.

Take this opportunity to relax and unwind. After today, it'll be time to return to my daily cultivation routine.

As soon as Lin Xingyu opened the door, he saw Xu Xiaoyan standing there gracefully, her right hand raised high, clearly about to knock.

Lin Xingyu chuckled, "With your hand raised so high, are you planning to hit me a couple of times?"

Xu Xiaoyan said irritably, "Yeah! You're always standing people up. We haven't seen you much in all this time."

After she finished speaking, she gently punched Lin Xingyu's chest twice with her right hand, and Lin Xingyu cooperated by pretending to be seriously injured, clutching his chest and taking two steps back.

Xu Xiaoyan walked into the room, closed the door, and looked at the clothes Lin Xingyu had placed aside, saying, "Are you planning to wear this?"

Lin Xingyu, half-reclining in his chair, said, "Not bad, this outfit is quite comfortable for me, I'll take it."

Xu Xiaoyan puffed out her cheeks and said, "How can that be!"

"Is this outfit not nice enough?"

"No…"

"Then it's over!"

"But..." Xu Xiaoyan hesitated for a while before saying, "Anyway, this outfit isn't formal enough, everyone else is dressed very formally."

After she finished speaking, a flash of light appeared in her hand, and a set of clothes appeared directly in her hand, which she then handed to Lin Xingyu.

"Wear this!"

After saying that, Xu Xiaoyan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said somewhat arrogantly, "Everyone is dressed very formally. You are the captain, don't embarrass us!"

He then ran straight out of the room.

I carefully examined the outfit in my hand.

It was entirely white, with streaks of crimson gold on its top, and golden stars at the very center of the streaks.

The crimson-gold patterns are almost identical to those on Lin Xingyu's martial soul, and the golden stars don't seem like much on their own; he also possesses star attributes.

However, if all these stars are connected together, they seem to be somewhat similar to the star patterns on Xu Xiaoyan's martial soul.

"Your memory is excellent! If I remember correctly, I only went back to school a few times after my martial soul evolved."

Shaking his head, Lin Xingyu carefully tidied up the clothes and placed them in a box to the side.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a knock on the door. Lin Xingyu, thinking that Xu Xiaoyan had returned, went to open the door.

To his surprise, standing outside was Wu Siduo, her hands mysteriously clasped behind her back.

Lin Xingyu said with a strange expression, "What, are you here to prepare clothes for me?"

Wu Siduo was somewhat surprised, then nodded, took out a set of clothes from her storage soul tool, and said with a smile, "I see that you usually only wear the same two kinds of clothes."

“You wear the same school uniform at school, and it’s been the same style for so long outside of school, so I knew you definitely didn’t have any other formal wear.”

Lin Xingyu took the clothes in his hands. It was a very sophisticated black dress, also embroidered with crimson gold patterns.

“Actually, I…” Lin Xingyu was about to refuse.

Wu Siduo interrupted him directly, saying:

“You always brought back gifts for everyone when you went out, and I never thought about what to give you in return.”

"Consider this suit a return gift to you. In terms of value, it is far less valuable than the Mystic Coral you gave me."

"Everyone has that..."

Wu Siduo continued, "Alright, I need to go back and change my clothes too. Even though everyone else has one, I can't not reciprocate."

After saying that, she turned around and walked back with rather light steps, her long, red, wavy hair swaying behind her.

After turning the corner, Wu Siduo suddenly stopped and leaned against the wall.

Touching her wildly beating heart, she closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and clenched her right fist, muttering, "Come on, Wu Siduo! Beauty is only for the strong! You can easily destroy Xu Xiaoyan! Besides, they're not even a couple yet! You have plenty of opportunities!"

He then opened his eyes, a hint of ferocity flashing in them, and quickly turned and left.

Lin Xingyu closed the door and stroked the dress herself. After trying it on, she found that the dress fit her very well without being too tight, and it perfectly brought out the wearer's temperament.

Just a moment later, looking at the two sets of clothes on the bed, he felt a chill run down his spine.

So which outfit should I wear?
Lin Xingyu, caught in a dilemma, had no plans to go out for a trip for the time being.

He felt that making this choice was much more difficult than not having to go to the sea to awaken his martial soul again.

……

Meanwhile, in the other rooms, everyone else naturally heard the broadcast and made their own preparations.

Looking closely at himself in the mirror, Yuan Enhui always felt that something was wrong.

She was still dressed as a boy, wearing red and black trousers, a black and white shirt, and a black tie, paired with her red hair. Combined with her tall, slender figure, which rivaled that of many men, she exuded a heroic aura, completely unlike her former sorrowful self.

Coupled with her inherent aloofness, she stands there like a black hole, attracting everyone's attention, making her a perfect candidate to play the role of a heartthrob.

Looking at herself in the mirror, even though she had dressed up to her best, Yuan Enhui always felt that something was missing, and she was always somewhat dissatisfied with herself.

After hesitating for a while, she looked at the black long dress next to her. The upper part was a simple dress style that slightly revealed her shoulders, and the lower part was a long skirt that almost reached the ground. The black long skirt was decorated with stars.

at dusk.

Lin Xingyu finally put on the black clothes he usually preferred. He stood there like a flame, burning wildly and releasing his light and heat.

After several transformations of his martial soul, he became quite handsome with just a little dressing up.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, but just as Lin Xingyu stepped out of his room, the door opposite his opened, and Xu Xiaoyan slowly walked out.

Xu Xiaoyan had changed into a white knee-length short dress, which was decorated with tiny golden stars and was quite exquisite.

Seeing Lin Xingyu's attire, Xu Xiaoyan immediately pouted unhappily, "Xingyu, why are you still dressed like this! Didn't I already send you the dress?"

Lin Xingyu smiled and said, "That dress is indeed very beautiful. The pattern on it is the same as the one on my martial soul. Xiao Yan, you put a lot of effort into it. It's just that I grew taller a few days ago after practicing some secret techniques of the Body Sect."

"That dress seems a little small."

'Smaller?' Xu Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment, looking somewhat petrified.

Seeing this, Lin Xingyu felt relieved. Indeed, it was better to blame others than to make things difficult for himself.

Seeing that Xu Xiaoyan seemed a little sad, Lin Xingyu quickly comforted her, "With so many patterns on it, it must have taken a lot of time to make this custom-made garment." "Yeah, it took me a month to make this dress," Xu Xiaoyan said, somewhat disappointed.

"I've only grown taller this month, so it's normal that you haven't seen me shrink yet. I'll just fix it when the time comes."

"But, Xiaoyan, you look really beautiful today!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan's sorrow turned to joy, and she chuckled, "That's right, thank you!"

Her pretty face flushed slightly, and then she proudly raised her head.

"The others haven't come out yet, so Princess, may I have the honor of inviting you to go ahead?" Lin Xingyu looked around and saw that no one had come out of the other rooms, so he bowed to Xu Xiaoyan and then gently extended his palm.

"Ok!"

Xu Xiaoyan nodded slightly, gently placed her hand in Lin Xingyu's hand, and the two walked directly towards the banquet hall.

……

The banquet hall is on the second deck of the ship.

The crystal chandelier illuminated the entire hall as if it were daytime, and amidst the resplendent gold and dazzling lights, members dressed in magnificent attire entered one after another.

Lin Xingyu stood there quietly, and even without a formal dress, her natural beauty alone made her a stunning sight.

Before the party even started, seven or eight girls had already come forward, but before they could get close to Lin Xingyu, Xu Xiaoyan gently blocked them away.

"Wow! That's Yuan En Ye Hui! I know she's a girl, but she wears men's clothes most of the time. I didn't expect her to look so good in women's clothes!" Xu Xiaoyan suddenly exclaimed in amazement.

Yuan Enhui, dressed in a long black dress adorned with stars, slowly walked in.

Coupled with her aloof demeanor, it gave the illusion of a goddess of the night descending to earth.

'It's just a bit of a pity that Yuan En Hui has red hair and black eyes, not black hair and black eyes; otherwise, she would be even more captivating.'

Lin Xingyu found a seat and sat down.

He picked up the food in front of him and kept putting it into his mouth.

Each ballroom has its own circle; people with different skills naturally have their own circles, and this area in front of us is naturally full of students from various colleges.

Lin Xingyu had no interest in interacting with these people and simply focused on enjoying the delicious food at the banquet.

"You seem quite at ease. Did you come here just to eat?" a voice with a hint of complaint came over.

Then Wu Siduo, dressed in a light purple dress, sat down.

Lin Xingyu then took a few pieces of pastry from the plate and handed them over, saying, "Try it. The food here tastes quite good, except for the small portions."

Wu Siduo took the piece, casually picked it up, put it in her mouth, and mumbled, "You didn't change anything."

"Gifts should naturally be kept safe. What did you do with the mystic coral I gave you? Is it still alive?"

“Naturally still alive…this tastes pretty good,” Wu Siduo said, somewhat appeased.

“But there’s another person over there who isn’t wearing a formal dress either, just like you.” Wu Siduo gestured for Lin Xingyu to look to the left.

"Gu Yue?"

Not far away, Gu Yue, also dressed casually, sat quietly.

Just then, Xu Xiaoyan returned after dealing with another girl who tried to chat her up, and said with some annoyance.

"They're so enthusiastic!"

That was a difficult question to answer, so Lin Xingyu continued eating while handing Xu Xiaoyan a portion of food as well.

When unfamiliar people approached them, Lin Xingyu and his companions refused them outright.

Gradually, more and more of the "dry rice squad" gathered around Lin Xingyu.

Finally, looking around, all the students from Shrek Academy, except for Yue Zhengyu who was doing very well not far away, and Na'er and Gu Yue who were nowhere to be found, had gathered here.

"This guy's pretty cool, he's probably seen plenty of these kinds of situations." Xie Xie glanced at Le Zhengyu in the distance and said in a low voice.

Yuan Enhui said in a rather calm tone, "After all, he is a noble young master from the Angel Family, so he is naturally different from us from humble families."

“He really is a playboy,” Zhou Hanyou couldn’t help but say.

The two sisters, Zhou Hanyou and Zhou Tian'er, were both wearing ice-blue long dresses.

The two seem to have had some interaction regarding Yue Zhengyu's personality.

"But Yuanen, you still amazed me today. I only knew you were a girl before, but I never expected you to be so beautiful when you dressed up," Xu Xiaoyan said.

"Thank you!"

……

Lin Yuhan looked at Lin Xingyu, one of the Shrek group members who was sitting in the corner quickly devouring their food.

After glancing over several times unintentionally, he finally walked over slowly.

Approaching Lin Xingyu, he generously extended his hand and smiled, "May I ask you to dance?"

Just as Lin Yuhan extended her hand, Xu Xiaoyan, Wu Siduo, and Yuanen Yehui on the other side simultaneously extended their hands in invitation.

Upon seeing this scene, Xu Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment, then glared angrily at Wu Siduo and Yuanen Yehui.

Several strands of hair on his head seemed to be standing on end.

I considered you all my sisters! And yet you... you actually...

Neither Yuanen Yehui nor Wu Siduo seemed to notice Xu Xiaoyan's gaze.

"I'm sorry, I'm not wearing a formal dress today, so it's really not suitable for dancing."

After saying that, Lin Xingyu sensed that the atmosphere was getting increasingly strange. Fearing that staying there would result in him being dismembered, he walked directly towards Mu Ye, who was preparing food in the distance.

Makino managed to sneak in during this operation using his culinary skills.

"These beauties don't suit your taste? So much so that you have to come to an old man like me?" Mu Ye couldn't help but laugh.

"One person can manage, but a group of people simply can't handle it."

Mu Ye couldn't help but say, "Hey kid, don't play with girls' feelings. If you like one, just make a decision quickly, don't keep them hanging on."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid that one day I'll have to bury my child, and that would be the end of it."

Lin Xingyu shook his head, ignoring the topic, feeling somewhat conflicted.

If this were an ordinary world, and he were a teenager, he would most likely want to experience the daily life of youth on campus and fall in love every day.

But in this fantastical world, he'd rather improve his strength in this short time.

Love? Once I'm more capable, I can take my time and think about it later.

But I also really want to experience the normal teenage life...
