Chapter 347: Agreeing to a Marriage Proposal
Bu Quan seemed to have fallen into a state of dizziness.
Everything before her eyes had become distorted. The crystal chandelier had turned into a hazy white starlight, and the gilded wall decorations had become blurry columns of light.
The stage had turned pink, and the bubbles that rose were shaped like hearts.
Her heart was filled with immense surprise and happiness.
“Is this all a dream?” She stared blankly, incredulously, as if she were in a dream.
The dragonman youngster also sensed Bu Quan's unusual state.
Not only had her eyes lost their focus, but her limbs were limp and weak, and she was practically lying on top of him.
Fortunately, the dragonman youngster was big and strong, and well versed in various fighting techniques.
In order to keep the scene going, he had no choice but to support Bu Quan's waist with one hand to support her weight, while holding her hand with the other.
The dragonman youngster danced, maintaining Bu Quan's balance while trying his best to get her to dance with him.
"I've only danced a few times, and I didn't expect my first dance party to be this difficult!"
The dragonman youngster still had enough energy to sigh inwardly.
As the dance progressed, he gradually became more familiar with it and more at ease.
“I didn't expect that basic fighting techniques could also be used in dancing.”
“If I were in my original state, I would have made a fool of myself.”
"I have to thank Xiong Ju and Teng Dong Lang for contributing so much basic fighting experience to me."
On the night the duel ended, the dragonman youngster took advantage of the momentum and used the Grand Arena Medal, reaping rich rewards.
“Huh?” As he danced, a strange look flashed across the dragonman youngster's face.
A wave of heat rose from his lower abdomen.
Lust gradually spread through his heart.
Looking at Bu Quan in front of him, his heart also gradually became restless.
Bu Quan was dizzy, completely led by the dragonman youngster in the dance, her whole body pressed tightly against him.
The dragonman youngster's arm around her waist almost encircled her completely, on the one hand holding her firmly in place, and on the other hand fully feeling the soft, boneless waist of the young girl.
Bu Quan's face was almost pressed against the dragonman youngster's chest, and the sweet scent of the young girl's breath wafted towards him from time to time.
The dragonman youngster couldn't help but be moved.
In the corner of the hall, the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord quietly watched the two slow dancing on the dance floor.
“Long Fu reacted quickly,” the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord smiled, his eyes hiding a subtle meaning.
“City Lord, our arrangements...” A confidant quietly came over to ask for instructions.
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord took a sip of wine: "It doesn't matter, he's not just dancing this one dance. The effect of the Cold Emotion Wine will last for a while, so let's have our people approach him next."
“Understood, Lord.” The confidant quietly withdrew.
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord had specially arranged a beauty trap for the dragonman youngster.
There were three beauties, respectively from the human race, the snow elves, and a succubus mixed blood. The three had their own charms, one was cute and lovely, one was pure and ethereal, and one was seductive and graceful.
The city Lord served the dragonman youngster Cold Emotion Wine, which tasted cold, but once it entered the mouth, it would stir the emotions. To put it bluntly, it was an aphrodisiac.
“Dragons are inherently lustful... You will have a wonderful night, Commander Long Fu.” The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord smiled.
The first dance ended.
There was enthusiastic applause from the audience.
Everyone could see at a glance that the dragonman youngster was awkward at dancing, and Bu Quan was even worse, like a soulless puppet.
But who would blame the dragonman youngster who was the star of tonight's banquet?
Furthermore, no one dared to underestimate Bu Quan, the rising star in the field of alchemy!
The dragonman youngster put his arm around Bu Quan's waist and walked out of the dance floor. The latter hadn't reacted yet and looked very cute with her dazed expression.
The dragonman youngster smiled and politely declined the women who approached him to ask him to dance.
He still held Bu Quan's waist as he walked out of the hall and toward the garden.
To be honest, this was not in line with convention.
As the star of the banquet, he should have danced with many women and engaged in friendly and harmonious exchanges with many people.
However, he was a little worried about Bu Quan's condition.
Moreover, among all the guests, Bu Quan was undoubtedly the most valuable.
“City Lord, they've gone to the garden,” his confidant reported again.
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord nodded, “I can see that.”
“Then we...”
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord was a little worried about the effects of the Cold Emotion Wine, so he pondered for a moment and said, “Let's wait and see.”
His confidant reminded him, "City Lord, I think something seems a little off with Miss Bu Quan. She didn't drink it too, did she...?"
"No, that's not it. However, I can understand her feelings for the dragonman.” The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord frowned slightly and immediately gave the order, “Don't make any rash moves for 15 minutes. If they haven't shown up after 15 minutes, then go and disturb them. The garden of the city government palace is not a bedroom."
The dragonman youngster and Bu Quan stepped onto the grass and gradually walked to the fountain in the center of the garden.
The cold night wind mixed with water vapor suddenly sobered Bu Quan up.
She let out a scream: “Ah, Commander Long Fu!”
She subconsciously took a step back and broke free from the dragonman youngster's embrace.
The dragonman youngster was a little speechless.
What's with your sudden jump? You're making me look like some kind of lecherous thief who drugged you and kidnapped you.
Thinking about it, the dragonman youngster also felt a little dry in the mouth.
His mind wandered, and he even reminisced about the feeling of holding Bu Quan's waist.
His mind wandered, and he even reminisced about the feeling of holding Bu Quan's waist.
Bu Quan was not drugged after all, and as her mind cleared, her previous memories gradually became clear.
When she recalled the feeling of being held in the dragonman youngster's arms, her heartbeat quickened again and her face flushed red.
The atmosphere became ambiguous and awkward.
The dragonman youngster broke the silence and asked with concern, “Miss Bu Quan, are you okay?”
“I'm, I’m fine,” Bu Quan replied hastily, "I've been fine these past few days. I couldn't be better!"
At this point, Bu Quan mustered up her courage, raised her head, and looked directly at the dragonman youngster.
She said sincerely, “Commander Long Fu, you should have some understanding of my experiences, right?”
“Of course,” the dragonman youngster nodded, “Ever since you took the initiative to give me equipment that day, I have collected relevant information through the Thieves' Guild.”
“Snow Bird Harbor City Lord also provided help in this regard.”
Bu Quan smiled, “So, I am very grateful to you, Commander Long Fu.”
“You helped me avenge my hatred!”
The dragonman youngster shook his head, "I should be thanking you. The ski goggles and ice bag you gave me were very practical. And most importantly, that spell scroll became a powerful weapon that turned the tide for me!"
Bu Quan disagreed: “What I did doesn't deserve your gratitude.”
"I gave you the equipment out of self-interest. To put it bluntly, I was using you."
"You eliminated the gang leader, leading to the downfall of the Bayonet Gang. I'm more than willing to repay you. What can I do for you?"
“If possible, I would like to give you all of my alchemy workshops in Snow Bird Harbor. I hope you will accept them.”
The dragonman youngster was taken aback.
Bu Quan's sincerity was overwhelming.
Even the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord couldn't compare to her!
But in the next moment, the dragonman youngster shook his head: “I'm not interested in those alchemy workshops.”
“I want you more, Miss Bu Quan!”
The dragonman youngster had already had his heart set on recruiting Bu Quan.
He had drunk the Cold Emotion Wine earlier, and its effects were kicking in.
He had just danced with Bu Quan, and his masculine side had suddenly kicked in, causing him to speak too directly.
Bu Quan stared, looking foolishly at the dragonman youngster.
"Wh-what?"
“What did I just hear?”
“How could Commander Long Fu say something like that?”
"Is he confessing his feelings to me?"
Bu Quan's face turned red.
Her heart was beating so fast that it seemed to be pounding in her ears.
Her ears were ringing, her mind was exploding, and she couldn't think straight. All she felt was immense shock and endless joy.
The dragonman youngster regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth.
Seeing Bu Quan's reaction, he immediately realized that she had misunderstood him.
The youngster quickly tried to remedy the situation: “Ahem, please forgive my directness.”
“Let me rephrase that more accurately.”
“Miss Bu Quan, would you do me the honor of joining my mercenary group?”
“Miss Bu Quan, Miss Bu Quan?”
Bu Quan gasped and reacted, subconsciously reaching out her palm and placing it on both sides of her cheeks.
“I agree, Commander Long Fu!”
“December 2nd is a good day to get married.”
"If we have a boy, we'll name him Long Tai. If we have a girl, we'll name her Quan Zi!"
This time, it was the dragonman youngster's turn to be stunned.
'In just a moment, you've already thought about getting married and having children?'
'Besides, isn't December 2nd tomorrow?!'
