Douluo: Dream Overlord

"What do you think of this dress? Does it look good?"

Lingjian wore a snow-white dress and white-soled high heels that revealed her delicate feet. She wore light makeup and looked at Shiguang shyly.

"Absolutely stunning! A beauty beyond compare! She's like a celestial being descended to earth!"

Time nodded in approval, a rare genuine smile appearing in his eyes.

This world also has its own myths, as well as traditions and fairy tales for celebrating the New Year.

Hearing Shi Guang's genuine praise, Ling Jian's expression became even more shy. He crossed his hands awkwardly, and even his nimble toes unconsciously clenched.

"Ugh! How could he say that? Has he said that to a lot of girls?"

As he pondered, Lingjian suddenly felt a nameless anger rise within him and glared at Shiguang.

Shi Guang was completely bewildered. Why was Ling Jian, who was just happy a moment ago, suddenly so irritable?

This ability to change faces so quickly is even more impressive than Peking Opera from my previous life. Doesn't it involve getting pricked up while changing faces?

Or is it that menopause has arrived earlier than the rebellious phase?

"How about my skirt?"

Seeing the spirit sword's aura become sharp, Jiang Shu, who was obviously the oblivious type, scratched her head, not understanding, and stopped thinking about it, so she asked Shi Guang.

Jiang Shu wore a bright red dress, light makeup, and matching red high heels.

Time gazed at Jiang Shu, lingering for a moment below her snow-white neck, and nodded, saying, "Very good! Like a red-haired witch."

In the Douluo Continent, the word "witch" is used to praise women who are charming and alluring.

"Yay!" Upon hearing this, Jiang Shu jumped up happily, shaking the evil spirit so hard it made people dizzy.

"Hey! Did you just look at something you shouldn't have?" Lingjian asked suspiciously, as if he had noticed something.

"Are you talking about Senmo?"

Time blinked and asked in confusion.

"...Never mind, it's fine."

Lingjian glanced at him with some suspicion. Her intuition as a woman told her that time seemed to have lingered on Jiang Shu's chest for longer than it had on her.

She glanced at Jiang Shu's proud and upright figure, then looked down at her own chest, which revealed her toes, and a hint of despair flashed in her eyes.

Despite being a girl herself, she's not even half as good as the other girl!

A wave of despair welled up from within.

"Alright, let's go to the dance, or they'll start soon."

Shi Guang's mental strength was stronger than that of the two girls. He could clearly feel the vibrations upstairs and judged from the footsteps that there were at least several hundred people.

He looked at Lingjian, who was as dejected as a defeated hen, walked over, took her hand, and walked outside, saying as they went, "Let's go to the ball."

"Huh? Ah!" Lingjian was bewildered as he was pulled toward the door, his steps faltering slightly because of his high heels.

She looked at Shi Guang's retreating figure, who was not looking back, feeling both shy and secretly pleased.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

Jiang Shu watched the two figures gradually disappear into the distance, somewhat bewildered. She quickly grabbed both sides of her skirt and ran forward to catch up.

The three of them went upstairs to the conference room lobby, where the doors on both sides were open.

The interior has been temporarily transformed into a social space, with several round tables set with desserts, drinks, and snacks.

The walls were covered with various cute stickers, and a banner reading "Noble Social Ball" hung from the ceiling.

The hall was bustling with people. Some men in suits and some women in skirts were chatting and laughing, while others were dancing gracefully together.

As the three of them entered the hall, they immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Shi Guang's handsome appearance and clothes hanger-like figure have attracted the attention of countless girls.

Ling Jian's long, straight black hair exuded vitality, and her face was exquisite. Jiang Shu had a hot figure and a heroic air about her. These two girls made the boys' eyes widen, and they stared at them intently.

Time naturally embraced the two girls, letting them link arms with him and walk step by step into the hall.

Such actions indeed attracted a lot of negative emotions from male and female students. Time reaped their emotions, and they were overjoyed.

Although these students generally did not have high levels of negative emotions and their quality was not as good as that of the Soul Emperor Shi Nian, quantity does produce quality.

Once he returns and compresses these negative emotions into a negative emotion essence, even soul masters with higher soul power and realms than him will inevitably be affected.

Feeling the endless stream of negative emotions being harvested, Shi Guang felt extremely comfortable. He suddenly had a whimsical idea and even reached out to put his arms around the slender waists of the two girls.

This indeed widened the boys' eyes, amplifying their negative emotions many times over.

While Shiguang was enjoying the harvest of emotions, Lingjian blushed, unsure whether to touch or not the restless hand on her waist.

"What's wrong with this guy? Why is he suddenly so bold? There are so many people watching!"

The spirit sword lowered its head slightly, thinking, "Couldn't we have waited until we got back to do this...? No! Even if we got back, it wouldn't be right!"

Jiang Shu seemed indifferent. She simply regarded Shi Guang as a friend created by a misunderstanding. What's wrong with friends hugging and cuddling?

The majority of people in the hall were students and teachers from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, with a smaller number being personnel from various external forces.

They watched in astonishment as Shi Guang embraced two beauties. Some shook their heads and chuckled, some had gloomy expressions, and some watched silently as if it were none of their business.

Shi Nian and his mother were also in the crowd. They noticed Shi Guang coming in, and their eyes widened when they saw the two pretty girls he was holding.

"Good lad! He doesn't make a move easily, but when he does, he takes on two!" Shi Nian thought to himself, displaying his years of experience.

Shi's mother looked relieved; it seemed she no longer needed to worry about her son's marriage.

He was clearly very lucky with women; in just one afternoon, he had already hooked up with two young girls.

Well done!

"Lingling!"

"Little Shu!"

The two girls' best friends noticed the two girls walking in and went up to greet them, looking at Shi Guang with curiosity.

Under the gaze of everyone, Shi Guang remained unfazed, wearing a proper, aristocratic smile.

It's that kind of forced smile that doesn't reach the eyes.

"Is this your boyfriend?"

The two best friends asked curiously, and their simultaneous question made them look at each other and nod.

"No, this is my good buddy! We only met today, but he's a really nice guy!"

Jiang Shu said casually.

"Is he... is he still my boyfriend...?"

Lingjian spoke cautiously, while secretly observing Shiguang's expression.

The other person's expression was calm, and they seemed completely unfazed.

However, the other person's hand on her waist became restless and started scratching the little flesh on her waist.

"Stop it! There are so many people here!" Lingjian shouted in his heart, but on the surface he only smiled, his face flushed and somewhat unnatural.

Upon hearing this, the two best friends chatted with Shi Guang for a bit, and it seemed they had a good impression of him.

At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Are you time itself?"
