"Tonight, your dance partner can only be me."
It was a simple sentence, but it made all the pores on Ji Dong's body open up, and an indescribable emotion spread through his body.
For the first time, he thanked Ji Yeshang from the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for Ji Yeshang, he wouldn't have come to this ball, nor would he have heard the beautiful sounds of the Flaming Bar. At this moment, Ji Dong had no other thoughts in his mind. It was as if this ball was only for him. At the same time, he regretted not wearing a formal attire. How he wished that he could match the Flaming Bar!
At this moment, all the strength in his body turned into courage. Taking a deep breath, Ji Dong seemed to grow taller. He took a step back, placed his right hand on his chest, and bowed slightly. He said to the Flaming Bar with the most standard aristocratic etiquette, "Beautiful lady, may I have a dance with you?"
In his previous life, Ji Dong had studied western aristocratic etiquette in France, and he had learned it from an ancient aristocratic family. At this moment, he seemed to have become a completely different person. He no longer looked like a teenager. His outstanding temperament, gentle smile, and every drop of it were extremely perfect.
As he placed his right hand on his chest in front of the Flaming Bar, a dazzling flame seemed to dance in Ji Dong's eyes. Even though this body of his was only fifteen years old, the memories of dancing in his previous life were still there. The desire and excitement in his heart had already reached its peak. At this moment, in his eyes and heart, there was no one else present, only this fiery elf-like woman in front of him.
The Flaming Bar smiled gently. In that instant, the stars in the sky seemed to completely dim. In everyone's eyes, there was only her peerlessly perfect smile. Her tender fingers gently touched Ji Dong's palm, and under his guidance, she slid down to the dance floor.
There was no light from the stars or the moon. Only the fiery-red figure and the arrogant young man were the focus of the world. The musicians started to play again because of their entrance. The soft music danced in the air and surrounded them. It also touched the emotions of everyone present.
Fury, the Thunder Emperor, walked off the dance floor with Ye Xin in his arms, leaving the huge dance floor for them alone.
Ji Dong quickened his footsteps and took a big step forward. He used this moment to create some distance between them and turned around gracefully. With a slight tremble and disbelief, his left hand wrapped around the Flaming Bar's soft and slender waist. As he felt the perfect curve from her waist to her buttocks, Ji Dong's gaze instantly became infatuated. He did not even dare to look at the Flaming Bar. At this moment, his heart felt like it was about to stop beating.
The Flaming Bar naturally placed her right hand on Ji Dong's shoulder. The two of them had never been so close to each other before. Her slightly scorching, bewitching breath gently caressed Ji Dong's face. At the same time, she could feel Ji Dong's restless and excited heart. A faint blush appeared on her jade-like face. At this moment, she was no longer a serene and noble Red Lotus. Instead, she was a blossoming red rose that carried a fiery passion.
Amidst the melody of the music, Ji Dong took a step to the left. The hand that was wrapped around the Flaming Bar's waist exerted a little force. Under his lead, the Flaming Bar, who was almost as tall as him, felt as light as a feather. The two of them slid onto the dance floor and danced lightly and gracefully.
The Flaming Bar was very light and gentle, yet extremely scorching. Hugging her in his arms felt like hugging a ball of flames that could melt him. However, even if his body and soul were to melt, the current Ji Dong would never let go of her. Ji Dong's dance was noble and elegant. Each of his movements was extremely meticulous. The Flaming Bar's dance was light and graceful. She nestled in his arms and coordinated perfectly under his lead.
At this moment, in Ji Dong's heart, the Flaming Bar had completely surpassed the thousand-year-old fine wine that he had given his life for in his previous life. Even if he were to die in the next moment, he would not have the slightest bit of regret. It was a kind of pure love that had no other thoughts. It was pure love that came from the heart. Ji Dong's heart also gradually soared along with the dance.
Watching them perfectly perform the meaning of beauty on the dance floor, the disciples of the Yin Yang Hall gradually came back to their senses. Fury, the Thunder Emperor, was the only one who kept his gaze fixed on the Flaming Bar. His eyes were filled with admiration and envy. Ye Xin, who was still by his side, had already lowered her head. She did not dare to look at the Flaming Bar because she was afraid that her confidence would never recover. For the first time in her life, she felt ashamed of her inferiority. Ji Ye, who was behind the bar, had his mouth wide open as he stared at the two on the dance floor, dumbfounded.
Lan Baoer lowered her head dejectedly. She finally understood why Ji Dong refused to accept her and never responded to her hints.
"That's right! He already has such a perfect her, why would he respond to me? "
The hearts of all the men present had been attracted by the perfect Fire Spirit, and all the women's faces were also overshadowed by the Fire Spirit. Not to mention comparing them, even comparing them to each other seemed to be a blasphemy to that fiery red perfection.
The Flaming Bar exhaled and spoke in a soft voice that only she and Ji Dong could hear, "Are you wondering why I'm here?"
The dance did not stop. Ji Dong nodded dumbly. His mind was still a little blank. He said, "I just want to know if I'm dreaming right now. If this is really a dream, I don't want to ever wake up."
The Flaming Bar chuckled and said, "Idiot, of course this isn't a dream. This is your reward."
"Reward?" Ji Dong came back to his senses.
The Flaming Bar said with slight annoyance, "Have you forgotten? You said that you belong to me. Even if you turn into ashes, you will still have my mark. Since you are my Ji Dong, and you lost your dance partner because of me, of course I have to reward you."
"Flaming Bar..." Ji Dong hugged her boldly and pressed his body closer to hers. It was an indescribable feeling. He stared at the woman in his arms and could not say anything else.
Music would always come to an end, and the perfect dance had conquered everyone's hearts at the last note. Applause rang out, and Ji Dong reluctantly slid out of the dance floor with the beautiful woman in his arms.
"Little fool, aren't you going to let go? I want to drink the wine you mixed. " The Flaming Bar opened her red lips and whispered in Ji Dong's ear. At this moment, Ji Dong's left hand was covered in sweat, but he was still hugging her waist tightly.
He let go of his hands helplessly. However, the Flaming Bar took the initiative to hold his right hand and said, "Idiot, I'm your girlfriend at the ball tonight."
"Girlfriend?" Ji Dong's body trembled. He pulled the Flaming Bar and strode to the bar counter. "Thank you, Flaming Bar. I'm not greedy. Let me make you a glass of wine. I think this will be the first glass of wine I've ever made in my life."
Fury's deep and sonorous voice rang out, "Alright, stop looking. Tai Jia, let's get started." As he spoke, he let go of Ye Xin in his arms and walked towards the Ice Arowana without any reluctance. It was as though in his eyes, Ye Xin wasn't even comparable to this delicacy.
Ye Xin's heart and body were trembling. Her confidence and pride had been mercilessly torn apart by Fury and the Flaming Bar. She had always thought that she was the number one female student in the Yin Yang School. In the Yin Yang School, those who were prettier than her had inferior figures. Those who were prettier than her had inferior looks. On top of that, she was ranked third in terms of strength. She was indeed qualified.
However, today, her previous man had mercilessly torn apart her self-esteem, and her subsequent man did not even dare to defend himself. Her self-confidence in her own conditions had also been completely shattered the moment Raging Flames arrived.
Ye Xin's face paled and her body swayed. At this moment, Ji Yifeng, who had been standing nearby, walked over and grabbed her hand. Just as he was about to say something, Ye Xin flung his hand away and said, "Don't touch me." After saying that, Ye Xin turned around and ran out of the ball. Unfortunately, the Flaming Bar was still the center of attention. No one noticed her leaving. Only Fury raised his head and silently looked in the direction she had left. He took a big bite of the Ice Arowana. The fork in his hand was already deformed from the grip he had on it. No one knew that Ye Xin was actually his first woman. She was also the only woman in his 29 years of life.
Ji Yeshang's gaze met Ji Dong's, then he stole a glance at the Flaming Bar. He whispered to Ji Dong, "Brother, you've done a great job keeping this a secret. This is..." The Flaming Bar was so beautiful that most of the men present were unwilling to believe that she and Ji Dong were a couple.
Whether it was age, looks, or ability, in their eyes, Ji Dong was far from being worthy of the Flaming Bar.
This was also a big problem that Ji Dong had been struggling with. He didn't dare confess his love to the Flaming Bar because he didn't think he was worthy of her.
"I'm his girlfriend," the Flaming Bar answered on behalf of Ji Dong. At the same time, she gently squeezed Ji Dong's hand.
When Ji Yeshang saw the smile on the Flaming Bar's face, he couldn't help but be stunned. He hurriedly lowered his head. Hyōhime gave him a thumbs-up and said, "Impressive."
The Flaming Bar's admission was like a shot of adrenaline in Ji Dong's heart. He glanced at her, then said to Hyōhime and Night Sorrow, "I want to mix drinks for her. Can you give me a seat?"
Ji Yeshang said without hesitation, "Of course." He immediately gave up his seat, not because of his relationship with Fury, but because he truly wanted to see Ji Dong mix drinks again. After hearing a few hints from Ji Dong that day, he had been practicing and feeling hard recently. His understanding of drinks had clearly increased. Even though he was older than Ji Dong, in reality, when it came to mixing drinks, he treated Ji Dong as a teacher. After all, although the Thunder Emperor Fury was good at mixing drinks, his cocktail was only suitable for his unique lightning element. It was something that others couldn't imitate. Ji Dong was different. He relied completely on his techniques and didn't have any magic mixed in. Ji Yeshang knew very well that perhaps the cocktails that the Thunder Emperor made were not inferior to Ji Dong's by much, but when it came to understanding drinks, there was still a certain gap between him and Ji Dong.
Ji Dong pulled the Flaming Bar to the back of the bar and switched positions. He used his left hand to hold the Flaming Bar's right hand, freeing up his right hand. He washed his palm and fingers with one hand.
Ji Yeshang watched closely from the side. He was shocked to find that Ji Dong's palm and fingers were extremely soft. He could even turn to angles that normal people couldn't reach. Normally, it was very difficult to wash one hand clean, but when Ji Dong washed it like this, it looked no different from washing two hands. But why was he only using one hand?
Of course, Ji Yeshang didn't understand that Ji Dong was only washing one hand not because he was showing off, but because he couldn't bear to let go of the Flaming Bar's hand. He didn't know if he would have another chance like this in the future, but now he had to cherish every minute and every second. The Flaming Bar's hand was soft and warm. Even if he held it for the rest of his life, he would cherish it just the same.
Only the Flaming Bar herself could see through Ji Dong's heart. She allowed Ji Dong to hold her hand. She just stood there with a smile on her face. Her unparalleled beauty was like a foil to Ji Dong.
Some people say that women are a man's best decoration. In a way, this was very true. When Ji Dong first arrived at the ball, no one paid attention to him at all. Some people who hadn't seen him in Yin Yang School even thought he was just an official student acting as a waiter. But now, because of the Flaming Bar, even Ji Dong became the center of attention. Even those who were already dancing looked over from time to time.
Lan Baoer didn't know why she slowly walked to the side of the Flaming Bar, but she realized that the closer she got to the Flaming Bar, the bigger the gap between them became. When Ji Dong finished washing his hands, Lan Baoer was already standing quietly to the side.
The Flaming Bar naturally saw her and smiled at her kindly. She didn't need to do anything to announce Ji Dong's ownership. She knew very well what kind of place she held in Ji Dong's heart. Right now, she was no longer like the queen of the Flaming Bar. She was just like a girl standing beside her lover, watching him silently and supporting him.
Ji Dong picked up a shaker and turned around. He swept his gaze across the liquor cabinet. After a moment of silence, he chose two types of liquor and some ingredients and placed them in front of him.
He first put three fresh strawberries into the shaker, poured a glass of water from the side, and said to Lan Baoer, who was watching him, "Baoer, can you do me a favor? I need some ice. "
Lan Baoer had never seen Ji Dong mix drinks before. Her rebellious nature made her want to refuse, but she still took the glass in the end. Purple magic pulsed, and the water in the glass gradually froze.
Ji Dong kept watching the quilt in Lan Baoer's hands. When almost half of the water in the glass froze, he took the glass and smiled at Lan Baoer, saying, "Thank you."
He poured the ice water into the shaker, then added two-thirds of the citrus vodka, one-third of the strawberry wine, a few drops of passionfruit syrup, a few drops of orange juice, and a little sugar. Only then did he cover the shaker and toss it lightly into the air.
