INSIDE an old European style castle surrounded by dense fog, three players of team Sanguis were having a conversation.

A wolf beastkin with blue hair and a pair of metallic gray eyes was playing with the piece of parchment he was holding.A symbol of moon and stars could be seen stamped on the parchment."Brother Ru, what time should we go to that pavilion?It says here on the invitation that the opening will be at 8 pm tonight.Should we go early?I really want to see those NPCs.I wonder if they would really be as beautiful as they were on that advertis.e.m.e.nt."

Tang Xun the wolf beastkin looked at the tall and slender young man sitting on the window sill.His black hair was swept back like that of an English gentleman, showing his clear forehead.He had pale skin that almost looked translucent.His eyes were blood red.And when he opened his mouth, one could see a pair of slightly longer and sharper than normal incisors.

Xu Ru smiled.If there were other people around, that smile would definitely make them blush."Of course, we'll come late.Haven't I taught you that's the best way to make an entrance?" he said playfully.

Tang Xun nodded enthusiastically."Brother Ru is right!"

"Xu Ru, could you stop teaching Ah Xun all your bad habits?" a clear voice with a rather seductive tone said.

The one who just spoke was a girl with long, wavy dark red hair.A pair of ram-like horns were protruding on both sides of her head.Her eyes were the same color as her hair with vertical pupils.Even her lips were as red as a rose in full bloom.Her pale skin only highlighted that.She was wearing a black leather overall, sticking close to her ample figure like a second skin.A thin, long, and pointed tail attached to her back.

"Sister Rushi, I don't mind learning Brother Ru's bad habits!" Tang Xun said in a proud voice.

Qin Rushi glared at the blue haired wolf."Someone who could say something like that carelessly is not allowed to voice out his own opinion."

"Why?" Tang Xun asked, his expression clearly telling them that he didn't understand why Qin Rushi would say that.

Qin Rushi scowled."Because you're not using even a single cell in your brain."

"Now, now, Princess.Don't be too hard on Xiao Xun," Xu Ru said."Besides, I'm a good role model.There's nothing wrong with him following me," he added shamelessly.

"That's right!" Tang Xun followed up automatically.

These idiots.Qing Rushi felt like her blood pressure was starting to rise again.She knew she should have not come here thinking that she could go to the opening of this Yuexing Pavilion with these two.Truthfully, she actually didn't want to go.But she talked to Su Yuqi and the other convinced her to attend.So, here she was.

But spending time with these two was just simply getting on her nerves.So, she stood up and planned to leave.

"Where are you going, princess?" asked Xu Ru.

"I'm going ahead.Because unlike you two, I don't plan to make a grand entrance."

After saying that, Qin Rushi walked out of the room.As she closed the door, she heard Xu Ru's soft laughter.

Inside a pantheon built on a floating cloud

"Ah Yu, are we really going to this thing?" a beautiful girl with long flowing golden hair and a pair of sky-blue eyes said while holding a parchment."Even Ah Min and Ah Hui are not going."

"They have an excuse," Duan Yu said.Li Xu Min had a pictorial today and Zhong Hui was accompanying him.

Song Liuli pouted."But isn't this Yuexing Pavilion owned by that new member of Yunyue and not something the game developers launched?Why should we go just because some newbie invited us?Passing off his in-game business as something that was owned by the game, it's clearly cheating."

Duan Yu chuckled hearing Song Liuli's complaint.She knew about Yuexing Pavilion's real owner because the day after the advertis.e.m.e.nt was shown on each city's plaza, the two of them were together and he happened to mention it to her.He also told about it to their captain.That happened even before Noctis came to him asking not to tell anyone that he's the owner of the pavilion.So, in a way, he didn't violate their deal.Besides, both Song Liuli and Li Xu Min were not really the type to gossip about that.

"Don't you think it's interesting?" he just said.

Song Liuli immediately puffed up her cheeks when she heard that."What interesting?Are you interested in that newbie?"

Duan Yu pinched Song Liuli's cheek."How could I ever be interested in any other when someone like Li Li is already beside me?"

Song Liuli's face flushed red.Adding charm to her already pretty face.She slapped Duan Yu's hand pinching her cheek and snorted."Hmp!Don't try to flatter me.I'm not falling for it."

"Then, what shall I do for Li Li to believe me?"Duan Yu leaned down, almost attaching his lips to her ear."Shall I give Li Li a ki"

Before he could finish what he was about to say, Song Liuli already covered his mouth with both her hands."Stop talking!"

Duan Yu's eyes were suddenly filled with a teasing light.He then kissed Song Liuli's palm that was covering his mouth.

Feeling the soft touch on her palm, Song Liuli felt that her whole body had been struck by lightning.She took back her hands in a flash, her whole face was even redder.She glared at Duan Yu, the ends of her charming eyes were red.In anger or shyness, no one knew.

"Duan Yu!"

Duan Yu only laughed.

On Alryne City, inside the best blacksmith shop Forge Etna

A tall 'man' with messy black hair was standing in 'his' office, fiddling with the parchment 'he' was holding. 'His' pair of sharp eyes gazed down on the symbol of moon and stars drawn on the parchment. It was an invitation to the Yuexing Pavilion, there's only an hour left before the event. Then 'his' gaze moved on the name it was addressed to.
