The music in the banquet hall was playing quite loudly . People were dancing and enjoying themselves all around . Sheng Feilong stopped one of the waitresses and he and Yuanen Yehui grabbed something to drink .

The two of them watched the dance floor in silence for a while, occasionally sipping from their gla.s.ses . Normally, it would be pretty hard to have a normal conversation in such a situation, but with their strength, as Soul Masters, it wasn't a problem to just ignore the surrounding noise .

Sheng Feilong kept his eyes on the dance floor, watching the people with a calm, but satisfied expression . He glanced at Yuanen Yehui and thought about a few things before speaking up with his Soul Power blocking his voice from spreading around . "Senior Sister Yuanen, there's something that's been bothering me . "

Yuanen Yehui averted her eyes from the dance floor and glanced at Sheng Feilong . She didn't say anything, but the latter took it as her inquireing about his question, so he continued regardless . "Back when we met at the Entrance Examination, I was surprised to see that you were disguised as a male student . And later you kept that disguise on, even going to far as not telling your cla.s.s mates about it . Why is that . . ?"

The topic seemed to have hit a sore spot as Yuanen Yehui started frowning lightly . She looked away from Sheng Feilong, focusing on the dance floor again and spoke in a cold tone . "None of your business . "

Sheng Feilong noticed her reaction, but chose to ignore it and also looked back at the dance floor . "Tang Wulin told me that it's because of the t.i.tan Giant Ape Spirit Essence . It's a high profile transformation that would make many woman uncomfortable as well as many men that would not want to see a beauty suddenly turn into a gorilla . "

He paused for a moment when he felt Yuanen Yehui's aura get frosty . She didn't look at him, nor did she walk away, but just the feeling made it clear that she didn't want to talk about it . Sheng Feilong glanced at her again before slightly sighing . "You know, I'm from a Clan where everyone has a lion type Spirit Essence . It's also a transformation type like yours . It doesn't matter if it's sweet old ladies or cute young children, they all transform into bulky, muscular beasts and become covered in fur . "

Yuanen Yehui didn't seem to listen and still stared at the dance floor, but he knew that she could hear him . "I never cared about that stuff . They're my clansman, my family, so to speak . And most of them were powerful Soul Masters in my eyes . I aspired to be like them, to use my own strength to make the Clan prosper when I was older . " Sheng Feilong took a sip from his drink before he continued with an amused expression . "Honestly, when I first fought you, I was shocked . It wasn't because of your Spirit essence of your strength, but because your clothes suddenly burst apart when you transformed . I . . . , well I knew you were a girl, so it was really surprising . "

He paused for a moment again . Yuanen Yehui didn't show much of a reaction, but she finally answered him with a slightly weird voice . "It can't be helped . The transformation is too ma.s.sive and normal clothes can't keep up with it . " Sheng Feilong smiled lightly . "I didn't mean it in a bad way; It really was just shocking for a moment . Well, it was just the jacket, so no harm done, anyways . "

The two of them stayed silent for a moment and watched the people around them . After a while Sheng Feilong broke the silence with a question . "Can you tell me a bit about the Fallen Angel?" Yuanen Yehui looked at him with a frown . "What?"

"Well, I heard that you have a second Spirit Essence, a dark attributed one called Fallen Angel . I heard it was similar to the Holy Angel . Is that true?" Sheng Feilong just looked at her with an interested expression . He didn't seem to have any prejudices against her just because of her Spirit Essence, so Yuanen Yehui eventually decided to tell him a bit about her Spirit Essence, though just briefly .

Apparently, it really is similar to the Holy Angel Spirit Essence . When activated, the user grows huge black angel wings from their back and can make use of dark elemental energy from their surroundings, just like the Holy Angel Spirit Essence uses holy energy .

It's a powerful a.s.sault Type Spirit Essence that grants the user a huge boost to their speed, strength and endurance . Yuanen Yehui didn't talk about her Soul Skills, but told Sheng Feilong that it was dangerous to rely on the Spirit Essence as it was inclined to evil and was hard to control .

After that, the two of them continued to speak about all kinds of things for a while longer . Yuanen Yehui always gave just short responses, seemingly not really interested in speaking with him, but as she didn't leave, Sheng Feilong continued to bring up one topic after the other .

The whole time, Yuanen Yehui and he looked at the dance floor . The festivities were in full bloom, and people really enjoyed themselves, dancing and laughing all over the hall . After another while of silence, when both of them looked at the dance floor, Sheng Feilond suddenly turned to Yuanen Yehui . "Hey, you want to dance for a bit?"

Yuanen Yehui was taken aback by the sudden question and looked at Sheng Feilong like he was an idiot . "Dance? With you?" Sheng Feilong nodded his head . "Yeah, why not?"

"I'm still dressed like a boy and even if I wasn't, why should I dance with you?" Yuanen Yehui pointed at herself with a frown . Sheng Feilong just smiled . "But aren't you a girl? And what's so bad about me? I might not be the best dancer, but I won't step on your feet like Tang Wulin did with Gu Yue . "

"Shouldn't you have a bit more self-awareness? We're at a diplomatic banquet and you want to dance with a boy? You might know that I'm a girl but others don't . " Before Yuanen Yehui could continue, Sheng Feilong made a gesture with his hand and smiled mockingly . "Who cares what they think? I've spent over an hour talking to those stuck up people before finally being able to get away when you guys came . Why should we not have fun just because they might frown upon us?"

Yuanen Yehui's shocked expression calmed and she looked at Sheng Feilong with a colder face again . "You really are an idiot, aren't you?" Sheng Feilong shrugged . "You're not the first girl to ask me that . " He then downed the rest of his drink and put the gla.s.s on a nearby table before walking next to Yuanen Yehui again . "Come on, let's go out there . "

She didn't move . Yuanen Yehui just continued to look at Sheng Feilong like he was an idiot and rolled her eyes before turning back to look at the dance floor . Sheng Feilong still smiled mockingly . "Don't tell me the great cla.s.s president of Shrek Academy's Outer Court's second grade can't dance? Or maybe you're just afraid of people judging you?"

Yuanen Yehui's head jerked around and she stared at Sheng Feilong with a deep frown . His mocking words seemed to have affected her, but she didn't say anything . Sheng Feilong faked a sigh and a sad look . "I guess I'll have to look for someone else then . Don't worry, it's normal for people to be afraid of something . "

Yuanen Yehui frowned even deeper and suddenly drank the rest of her drink in one gulp . She waltzed of to put the gla.s.s on a nearby table and stomped back to Sheng Feilong . "Who said I was afraid? You want to dance? Fine . You better not make a fool of yourself . " She suddenly grabbed Sheng Feilong's arm and began pulling him into the middle of the hall .

Still frowning, she turned around to face him and suddenly froze when she saw the bright grin on his face . She knew she fell for his provocations and stepped right into the trap . Before Yuanen Yehui could walk off again, Sheng Feilong grabbed her right hand with his left and put his other arm around her waist and spun her around .

Yuanen Yehui's face fell and she tried to shove Sheng Feilong away, but failed to do so in her haste . Sheng Feilong smiled mischievously at her and spoke up again . "Stop struggling . Don't tell me you didn't want to dance . Who cares what the people think; Just enjoy yourself . "

Surprisingly, Yuanen Yehui actually stopped struggling and started dancing with Sheng Feilong . Her steps were a bit awkward and it was obvious that she wasn't used to dancing . Sheng Feilong pulled her a bit closer, not too much though, as he kept an appropriate distance from her . "Just follow my lead . "

With the music still playing loudly, the two of them continued to dance . Yuanen Yehui's previous awkwardness quickly faded away as she got accustomed to dancing . Her expression eased as well and she started to actually enjoy it, even trying out a few steps of her own and taking the lead from time to time . Sheng Feilong smiled for the whole time and Yuanen Yehui started to smile at some point as well .

People started noticing slowly . Most started to frown when they saw two men intimately dancing with each other and stared at them or even made their displeasure known to the people next to them . A few even started to stop dancing and just stared at Yuanen Yehui and Sheng Feilong . Sheng Feilong naturally noticed their looks, but Yuanen Yehui was a bit too absorbed in the moment .

He smiled mockingly, but made sure others didn't notice his smile . "Take a look at those idiots . They all started staring at us . Stuck up people, just like I said before . " Sheng Feilong laughed a bit and just continued to dance with Yuanen Yehui, not letting her go .

She felt awkward when Sheng Feilong mentioned the people staring at them and her steps stagnated for a bit . After a few seconds, she gave up and started to laugh a bit as well, affected by Sheng Feilong's att.i.tude .

A bit away from them, at the side of the banquet hall, She Meixiao looked at the two of them with a weird smile . She was shocked seeing Sheng Feilogn dance with another man as well, but quickly saw through Yuanen Yehui's disguise . She shook her head lightly and spoke in a whisper like voice . "This boy . . . Does he really plan to bring a girl home . . ?"
