Dragon King of Apocalypse

Chapter 53: National Ceremony

Tang Wulin found himself on the balcony of the Grand Star Luo Hotel. He was gazing out in the night sky.

"Hurry up and come out old man." Said Tang Wulin.

Nothing happened for a while until a shadow landed behind Tang Wulin.

"You damn brat! You really race over here without any rest." Said Mu Ye.

Tang Wulin said nothing as Mu Ye undoubtedly continued his rant as if he didn't care if Tang Wulin was listening attentively to him or not.

"Old man, who is the direct heir to the body sect?" Asked Tang Wulin, causing Mu Ye to voluntarily stop his rant and look at him in mild surprise.

"My direct heir? Why are you so interested?" Asked Mu Ye, as he narrowed his eyes.

"Declare me as your heir." Said Tang Wulin.

"You want to be the heir? But why?" Asked Mu Ye, as he didn't believe for one possible second Tang Wulin already cared about the body sect.

"I plan on making the Body Sect number one. Hence, I naturally need to be to the leader, which means I need to be the heir." Said Tang Wulin, causing Mu Ye to look at him in shock.

"What! What did you just say!"

"Old man, if you entrust the body sect to me. I promise it will reach a height that is greater than even Shrek." Said Tang Wulin as he gave Mu Ye a glance as a gentle breeze past them.

Mu Ye was shocked and stunned when he heard Tang Wulin proposition. If this was anyone else, he would laugh at them but this is a kid who showed more potential than even their founder.

'Not only that but he also apart of Shrek too.' Thought Mu Ye as he started going over his viable options.

"Well old man?" Asked Tang Wulin.

"...Give me some time to think about this." Said Mu Ye.

"You shouldn't take too long old man. Chances like these are hard to come by and easy to vanish." Said Tang Wulin, confusing Mu Ye.

Tang Wulin didn't say anything more, and Mu Ye promptly vanish from behind him. Zeref and Sleipnir appeared on both of his sides after Mu Ye left.

"What are you planning?" Asked Zeref.

"What are you talking about?" Asked Tang Wulin.

"Don't try and play with me. You're up to something." Said Zeref as he stared thoughtfully at Acnologia.

"I wonder." Said Sleipnir as she gazes at Tang Wulin who didn't turn to either of them and just gaze out at the night sky.

The Star Luo Empire was located in the middle of the city and said to be built in the same image as Duoluo Continent. The royal member had the family name 'Dai', with their most famous member being Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao.

The Dai family once renounced their royal title. Then regain it again due to the rising of Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao ten thousand years ago.

Due to this, the Federation couldn't completely wipe out the Star Luo Empire even with their absolute control over the Douluo Continent at the time. This allowed Star Lou Empire to come toward this discovered continent and rebuild their mighty empire.

A bright crimson carpet extended all the way from the Star Luo Empire's palace. The Federation's vice president was leading the Douluo Continent's diplomatic corps along with a few other reputable members of the parliament in addition to Elder Cai and a few others.

Tang Wulin was standing in back with everyone else. They were in the Star Luo Empire palace because today was the day the emperor was going to receive them for the diplomatic mission.

They all had to dress up for the rare occasion. Tang Wulin didn't have anything to wear but Gu Yue told him she had a bought a suit for him that suited his style.

Tang Wulin wore a black suit with white pinstripes and a white undershirt with a black tie. Na'er wouldn't stop gushing over how handsome he looks and Mu Xi kept on reminding him how much he has grown.

Everyone else was presenting what they wore on the lavish banquet on the ship. Gu Yue herself was wearing a silvery-white one-piece dress and it was embroidered with textural patterns.

Na'er herself was wearing a long white dress with white and pink straps on her arms. The gorgeous dress was able to amplify her already unparalleled beauty to the point everyone in the hall was sneaking eager glances at her.

They all wonder who she was and where did she come from. After all, they never saw someone as beautiful as her, not even their Star Luo Continent princess, could compare to this attractive girl.

Na'er was standing next to Tang Wulin who look like he wanted to sleep comfortably through the whole thing.

"Big brother if you want to sleep, it's ok. I will wake you up when they're done." Na'er whispered gently, causing Tang Wulin to nod his head and closed his eyes.

After a while, the official ceremony proceeded with not even the gunfire salute being able to cause Tang Wulin to twitch as he slept.

A lovely girl was standing behind the emperor, moving her gaze around until she spotted a silver-haired girl. She was genuinely shocked at how beautiful the silver hair girl look. Then she notices the girl wasn't even paying any proper attention to her father but to the boy next to her.

She moved her gaze towards the boy and was shocked that he was actually sleeping. She became outraged that someone had the nerve to sleep during her father presence and then a grin begin to form on her face.

She slowly sends out her spirit power toward the boy and after a while, it made contact with him. The girl's eyes widen when she felt the connection get cut off as it made contact with the boy's face.

She tried a few more time but with no success, infuriating her to point she accidentally cried out. The emperor shifted his head in surprise.

"Yun'er is something the matter?" Asked her father as he rosed a brow at her. Yun'er face turns red as she shook her head.

'Why did my mental attack not affect him at all.' Yun'er thought in confusion and embarrassment.

The ceremony proceeds with no error and the emperor begins to invite people into the grand banquet. Na'er gently tugged on Tang Wulin arm, waking him up after he recognizes her smell and they went inside the royal household's welcoming banquet hall.

Tang Wulin went towards the dessert table by himself and Gu Yue pulled Na'er aside to talk to her. Meanwhile, the emperor Dai Tianling was conversing with diplomats with his beloved queen next to him.

The Star Luo Empire's royals were mingling with the Douluo Continent's diplomatic corps, and melodious music was playing through the background.

His majesty Dao Tianling was the first one to begin the dance of the night, as he asks one of the Douluo diplomats to a dance.

Shrek Academy was discussing with the Star Luo young royals, with the girls being the popular one.

Xu Xiaoyan, Mu Xi, Ye Xinglan, Wu Siduo, Gu Yue and Na'er were being surrounded. Yuanen Yehui was dressed in men's clothing today, so she was naturally left out.

Na'er being practically worship by the royals as there were more of than surrounding her than all the other girls combined.

Tang Wulin glance at their direction and experienced a twinge of irritation at seeing them surrounded by all those boys. It was then he heard footsteps behind as someone was coming up behind him.

"Boo!" A loud sound echoes from behind him but he didn't even twitch.

"Are you serious!" Said the owner of the voice as they walk in front of him. Tang Wulin was able to get a proper look at the person. It was a girl with long golden hair wearing palace-attire with looks that wouldn't lose out to Xu Xiaoyan herself.

Tang Wulin didn't utter anything as he gazes at Dai Yun'er, the princess.

"Well, are you going to say anything?"Said Dai Yun'er as she pouted. She didn't know why, but she felt at ease in Tang Wulin presence, something she only felt when she was with her family.

Now that she got a good look at him up close, he was pretty handsome and dashing in that luxury suite.

Tang Wulin shifted his head from Dai Yun'er back to the dessert table, causing her to look at him surprised. Her face begins to twitch as she saw him disregarding her and not being one to take this lying down, she kept on pestering him.

Naturally, this caused a few eyes to turn to their direction as it's not every day you see the beloved princess taking the initiative to talk with someone. They watch as the beloved princess kept on pestering a boy who seems to find more interest in the dessert table than her.

As this went on, more people kept on turning their heads until everyone in the banquet was looking at the duo. One boy munching on some food and a girl who kept on talking even as he was eating.

'What is that girl doing?' Thought Dai Tianling as he discovers his daughter talking to a boy.

The people at Shrek were surprised the princess would be trying to talk to their captain. They became even more surprised that she continued even as he was blatantly ignoring her.

Na'er narrowed her eyes and begin moving the royals that were surrounding her, as she headed towards her brother. This, of course, caused the eyes around her to follow her movement as she headed towards the dessert table.

"Are you really are going to ignore me for the whole banquet?" Said Dai Yun'er to an irritated expression. She pretty much was pissed off at the boy in front of her but knew there wasn't much she could do.

He was literally acting like she wasn't even there and acting as if the food in front of him was more interesting than her. She honestly was starting to think he was mute as he didn't say anything at all for the last twenty minutes.

Then started to gain a plan and a cold grin formed on her face but before she could say anything.

"Big Brother!" A voice rang out, causing Dai Yun'er to turn her head and look in surprise at seeing the beautiful silver hair maiden she saw before.

Na'er completely ignores Dai Yun'er as she came over to Tang Wulin and loops his arm with hers.

"Big Brother let's go dance together." Said Na'er with a smile, causing Dai Yun'er to narrow her eyes.

"I don't dance." Said Tang Wulin as he advanced his hand to pat Na'er on the head. Dai Yun'er mouth drop in shock and rage at the sight of the boy finally talking.

'What the hell if you're not mute, then why did you ignore me.' Thought Dai Yun'er as he felt herself getting pissed off even more.

"That fine. Let us go over there, and I will help you find some good food." Said Na'er as she leads Tang Wulin toward another table with food and leaving Dai Yun'er by herself.

The surrounding people who were watching became silent as they observe the silver-haired maiden leading the boy away from the princess.

They also notice how the boy actually responded back to the silver hair girl and it became evident that he was ignoring the princess.

The emperor Dai Tianling narrowed his eyes at the duo but held himself back after he was told who exactly the silver-hair maiden was.

'The Sea God Pavillion disciple.' Thought Dai Tianling with a grimace as he knew he couldn't incur the wrath of Pavillion Master, even for his daughter over something as minor as this.

Everyone watched as the Na'er begins to feed the Tang Wulin, causing the Star Luo royal boys to glare at Tang Wulin with murderous intent.

"They do realize that she is just his sister right?" Questioned Wu Siduo, as she watches as almost every royal was glaring at Tang Wulin in rage.

"I wouldn't be so sure." Said Xie Xie, attracting everyone attention.

"What do you mean?" Xu Xiaoyan questioned while sneaking glance back at Tang Wulin and Na'er.

"We found out from the boss mother that Na'er isn't Tang Wulin biological sister but adopted one. So there may be a chance for them to get together, and I wouldn't be surprised considering how other-worldly Na'er looks." Said Xie Xie with a smile and a nod.

This, of course, caused all the girls around him to glare at with murderous intent all for a similar reason and caused him to jump in surprise.

"Honestly Xie Xie, do you have no class?" Said Yue Zhengyu, causing all the girls to turn their glare to him.

"Be quiet you ignorant playboy." Said Mu Xi as she turns back to Tang Wulin and Na'er. Yue Zhengyu jumps in shock causing Xie Xie and Xu Lizhi to laugh out loud.

Xie Xie words whether intentional or not, caused some of the girls to truly wonder.
