Lord of Nine Stars

Seven days later, Morman Manor.

At night, in the huge hall, the so-called upper class people gathered together, chatting with friendly smiles on their faces.

On the small stage, the pianist was concentrating on playing, and the melodious swirl flowed from his fingertips, adding to the atmosphere of the entire party.

"Ding ding ding~" Dalia tapped the wine glass lightly to attract the attention of everyone she met.

With her elegant temperament, she looks so charming in a white evening dress.

"Welcome to Manlie Manor." Dalia said with a smile on her face.

At the same time, a young white man wearing a crisp suit walked into the banquet hall. After being stopped by the waiter at the door, the young white man whispered to the waiter and was then let go.

The white young man is of average appearance, even slightly ugly, and his first impression is not very good.

He stepped in, looked at the magnificent banquet venue, and couldn't help but admire it secretly.

While listening to Dalia Manlie's opening remarks, he found a corner and sat down quietly.

"Pa bang bang~"

"Bah bang bang~" Amidst the bursts of polite applause, Dalia raised her wine glass slightly, said "I wish you all a good night", and then walked off the small stage.

This kind of banquet is not the big banquet in Eastern culture. The central venue here is very empty, like a dance floor specially set aside. The food was placed on a long table on the side of the hall. These people seemed to prefer dancing to eating.

No, they probably prefer chatting to dancing.

The entire banquet was like a large offline dating scene.

Dalia Manlie socialized for more than half an hour, and finally came to the corner and stood in front of the slightly ugly white young man.

She looked at the pensive young man and said with a smile: "You made a wise choice, Taotao. From the beginning of the banquet to now, no one has bothered you.

If you showed up in your original form, you would probably drive the girls here crazy. "

Compared to young girls, Dalia believed that Rong Taotao would be surrounded by the old foxes present.

Of course, that doesn't sound nice, but it's more interesting to talk about girls.

The white young man stood up and smiled awkwardly: "Aunt Dalia recognized me."

"No, I just recognized this suit." Dalia stretched out her hand, very affectionately, and helped Rong Taotao straighten the collar of his white shirt.

"Ah" Rong Taotao scratched his head in embarrassment, "The clothes Andre sent me fit very well."

"Yes, I personally selected this for you." Dalia's fingers were already placed under the collar of the suit. She turned it over slightly, revealing the small gray and black patterns embroidered inside.

There are still marks?

This is obviously the emblem of the Manlie family, a delicate iris.

"Thank you Aunt Dalia." Rong Taotao said hurriedly.

"Sit down." With that said, Dalia stopped the waiter holding the dinner plate behind her, took down two glasses of champagne, leaned over and handed one to Rong Taotao.

Rong Taotao subconsciously looked away and raised his hand to take the drink.

What should I say? Well, Dalia's style tonight is very suitable for such a banquet.

Her golden-red shawl hair was tied up high, and combined with the custom-made evening dress, it revealed her slender neck and the snow-white skin in front of her. However, once she leaned over, the effect would be obvious.

Dalia sat next to Rong Taotao, and as the small band played on the stage, the lights in the hall dimmed.

"You have been practicing in seclusion for a long time." Dalia said softly, "It has been seven days, and you are finally willing to show up."

"Yeah." Rong Taotao hesitated and nodded.

Dalia looked at the stage in the distance and said softly: "I know what you are thinking. Since it was an accident, don't take it to heart."

"Um"

"How's it going? Are you already familiar with how Black Cloud works?"

This time, Rong Taotao responded simply and neatly: "I'm already familiar with it. Just like what Dayunlongque uses, through eye contact with the target, it can project a dark foggy forest maze in the other person's eyes."

In fact, this is just the active effect of the Black Cloud Treasure, and the increase in physical attributes that this treasure brings to Rong Taotao is far more attractive and terrifying than the active effect!

The colorful auspicious clouds and black clouds greatly improved Rong Taotao's mental power and mental resistance!

This is the scariest!

You know, mental strength is not like practicing martial arts. As long as you are talented enough and willing to work hard to practice swordsmanship, you can gain something.

Under the rules of the soul martial world, mental power increases as humans age, and after reaching its peak, mental power will continue to weaken as humans age.

In other words, the development and decline of spiritual power are the same as the natural laws of human life.

There is almost no such thing as "youth gets successful" and "the older you get, the better you become."

This is analyzed from a time perspective. As for human soul warriors as a whole, their mental power is generally weak.

Human soul warriors simply cannot compete with the spiritual soul beasts of all major attributes!

If human beings want to avoid this situation of being crushed, there is only one way: the soul warrior must open the forehead soul slot/eye soul slot, and must also inlay spiritual soul beads.

Spiritual barrier soul skills are naturally the strongest in spiritual defense.

But it is worth mentioning that even offensive and illusion-type soul skills such as Snow Hell Arena and Fenghuaxueyue will objectively improve the overall mental strength of human beings and, to a certain extent, increase the mental resistance of soul warriors. .

This is the preciousness of the colorful auspicious clouds and black clouds!

After Rong Taotao took possession of this black cloud, the situation changed drastically.

Although the effect of the black cloud is not a mental barrier, it objectively provides Rong Taotao with considerable mental power and mental resistance!

Listening to Rong Taotao's affirmative answer, Dalia nodded slightly and asked: "Then what kind of emotion is needed to cast this black cloud?"

Rong Taotao: "Prank."

"Huh?" Dalia was stunned and turned to look at Rong Taotao.

Rong Taotao shrugged helplessly and confirmed: "Yes, it's just a mischievous mentality.

And the measurement is somewhat difficult to control, on the dividing line between good intentions and bad intentions. "

Dalia looked quite strange and couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of the Creator.

She pondered for a moment and said: "Be careful of these emotional disturbances. You have experienced Baiyun's effect firsthand. The mentality of conquest and occupation is difficult to control."

Rong Taotao remained silent and nodded silently.

"You have achieved achievements that no one in the world can match at a young age. In terms of personal strength, your growth rate is even more jaw-dropping." Dalia came over with champagne in hand.

Those beautiful blue eyes looked at Rong Taotao sternly: "Kajia has the honor to meet you and become your apprentice, and the fate is closely linked. This is the honor of the Manlie family."

"Ding~"

The wine glasses collided with each other and made a crisp sound, and Rong Taotao also understood what Dalia meant.

He took a sip of champagne and said, "Aunt Dalia, I helped you absorb soul pets before, and you said you didn't know how to thank me. Now, it's my turn to thank you."

At this moment, Manlie Patriarch Dalia looked at Rong Taotao quietly with an elegant smile.

"In any case, this accident has happened. I have obtained the treasure of your soul pet. This is a great loss for you." Rong Taotao organized his words and spoke.

"I will teach Katya martial arts more carefully." He continued, "As you said, my destiny is closely connected with hers, and I still have a long future with her. I will work hard to make up for all this."

"Don't say that." No matter what Dalia thought in her heart, and how much she agreed with Rong Taotao's statement, she said it very well in the scene. "Compared to martial arts, you have trained her into a real Soul warrior.

Hardworking, tenacious and persistent.

For the Manlie family, a good heir is far more important than anything else in the world. "

Dalia reached for the champagne glass again: "The future is the stage for you young people. With the help of people like you, Kajan will definitely develop the Manlie family better."

"Ding~"

Rong Taotao picked up the wine glass, gently collided with Dalia again, and recognized Dalia's words. Strictly speaking, there was no conflict of interest between him and the Empress's goals.

Ekaterina is burdened with the fate of her family. Between the secular world and the soul martial arts, her focus is obviously more on the secular side.

As for Rong Taotao's career, it was purely at the level of soul martial arts.

If you want to break through the mystery of the vortex, you must reach the pinnacle of personal strength.

Rong Taotao said seriously: "I will, Aunt Dalia. I know very well that the help of this black cloud to me is unimaginable.

In the future, I will definitely work hard to help Katya, both in terms of her personal strength and her goals in life. "

"Okay." Dalia showed a satisfied smile on her face and took a sip of champagne. Then she raised her head slightly and tapped the distance with her chin.

Rong Taotao turned around and looked through the crowd of people drinking and drinking, and found a familiar figure.

Reaper Vladimir.

And in front of Vladimir is a middle-aged beautiful woman who looks to be in her mid-thirties?

"Are you really not going to study?" Dalia asked with a hint of teasing in her eyes.

"Forget it, forget it." Rong Taotao waved his hands repeatedly, and then asked curiously, "Is that the Reaper's target? Someone who can help him rise to power?"

"Yes, that is the daughter of the governor of Morman State." Dalia looked at the smiling woman and already had a conclusion in her heart.

Rong Taotao obviously noticed that the atmosphere between the two parties was extremely harmonious and even slightly ambiguous. He couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't the reaper say before that this lady doesn't like playboys and public lovers?"

Dalia crossed her legs gracefully, with a hint of admiration in her eyes, looking at Vladimir who was talking eloquently in the distance: "Taotao, everyone has their own strengths.

And the strengths that are recognized by everyone mean that they are true abilities.

Of course the governor's daughter knew the Reaper's name and knew that he was not suitable to be a husband, so she avoided him and never saw him.

And what I have to do is to provide the two of them with a chance to meet. All the Reapers have to do is perform normally. "

Rong Taotao: "."

He couldn't help but said: "This lady looks to be in her thirties. She is not an ignorant young girl. Logically speaking, she is not easily deceived?"

"Oh~ Taotao." Dalia smiled and shook her head and said, "This involves the professional knowledge of the reaper. If you ask me, I can't answer you."

Rong Taotao: "."

Good guy, have you developed a major?

What professional?

The fishing industry?

Dalia changed the subject: "But I can help you answer it from a human perspective."

Hearing these words, Rong Taotao also became interested, with a searching look on his face.

Daria: “Everyone feels like they are unique.”

Rong Taotao: "Huh?"

Dalia: “Although people are used to quarreling, cheating, and divorce.

But everyone feels that they are so special and that their romantic marriage will not be destroyed by the trivialities of life. Everyone thinks that they and their partner will be the happiest couple. "

After saying that, Dalia raised her head slightly and signaled to the governor's daughter again: "Just like her now, she knows that the man in front of her has bad deeds and can only be a lover.

But the Reaper's methods are masterful and too sincere. And this woman feels that she is so special and thinks that both parties are really each other's destiny.

She must have thought that the Reaper would change his ways for her and become a good, loyal man who was responsible for his family. "

Rong Taotao: "."

Dalia continued: "Fortunately, she really got it right this time."

Rong Taotao: "Oh?"

Dalia: "This woman's family is very powerful, and the Reapers need the continued help of her and her family, relatives and friends. Similarly, Manlie also needs such a partner.

I will not allow the reapers to cause unnecessary losses to the Manlie family due to personal emotional reasons. "

After saying that, Dalia turned to look at Rong Taotao: "So this lady will really be happy, and the reaper will indeed change his ways and be loyal to her."

Rong Taotao nodded. In his sight, the two of them had already walked to the sofa in the corner. They seemed to be having a great time talking and wanted to get to know each other better.

He suddenly asked: "Since I met Manlie, I have never heard of Aunt Dalia's husband?"

Dalia raised her eyebrows slightly: "You haven't asked Katya in private?"

"No, I've never asked." Rong Taotao shook his head. Chatting naturally requires an introduction and a topic, and the atmosphere of the banquet at this moment is very suitable for such a presumptuous inquiry.

"He left the Manlie family a long time ago and now lives in another city." Dalia said softly, not shying away from it. "The people in this manor, including me, may have given him too much. The pressure. It was hard for him to keep his head up, so he chose to leave."

With that said, Dalia stood up, ended the conversation, and looked at Rong Taotao with a smile: "I have to go entertain the guests. Have a good time, Taotao."

"Okay, okay." Rong Taotao nodded repeatedly.

Dalia turned and left, only taking a few steps. When she looked back, she found that Rong Taotao had already walked towards the door and chose to leave.

Dalia sighed softly. She knew that Rong Taotao was not interested in anything here.

Tonight, the reason why he came here was to meet her and have a few words with her that he had prepared for a long time.

"Dalia!"

"Mrs. Manlie." The voices awakened Dalia. She turned her head and greeted her with a smile on her face.
