Chapter 460: 447 Undoubtedly the Focus_2

So after Yule made his appearance, he immediately became the most revered person in the venue, with people greeting him nonstop since the very beginning; even Harvis had respectfully come forward to greet him along with Rocque, which showed the special status of the Temple.

Yule had also never personally attended any banquet before, and his presence at Shane and Luoqi’s engagement banquet this time indicated how special Shane and Luoqi were in his heart.

Who could deny Shane and Luoqi’s significant ties to the Divine Race?

With such a connection, Yule dared not put on airs due to his status—this engagement banquet was one he felt he had to attend.

He basically represented the will of the Divine Race here, proving that the Divine Race was paying attention to this engagement banquet and to Shane and Luoqi as individuals, even bestowing blessings upon them.

Thus, representatives from the Demon Race Embassy had also come in significant numbers, seemingly competing with the Divine Race, forming another dazzling circle in the Royal Hall.

An engagement banquet that brought together people from the Gods, Humans, and Demons.

Given this, no wonder others felt that this engagement banquet would be the most sensational and high-profile one in history.

Under such circumstances, Shane and his party made a fashionably late entrance.

"Thud—"

When such a distinct sound of footsteps reached everyone’s ears and echoed in the Royal Hall, the entire scene fell into silence, not a single noise to be heard.

Shane slowly walked in.

He wore luxurious ceremonial attire.

His left and right hands were holding Ai Yi and Lilith, respectively.

Behind him, like blossoming flowers, were Vivian, Tielle, Lu Muya, Merica lined up as if they were his female companions and followers, trailing behind him.

That scene instantly overshadowed all the dignitaries and notable figures present.

Especially the entrance of Ai Yi in a bright red gown, led by Shane, which changed many people’s expressions.

Not long after...

"Greetings to Lord Beizut! Greetings to the Dragon Demon Lord!"

At some point, Liya with Shanai approached Shane and others, bowing neatly to them.

The crowd then suddenly awakened.

"Greetings to Lord Beizut! Greetings to the Dragon Demon Lord!"

At that moment, both the royalty from various countries and the Great Nobles, whose ranks were far above Shane’s, bowed to Shane and Ai Yi.

This was true for Yule and the clergy from the Temple as well, losing their usual aloofness and bowing their noble heads.

As for those from the Demon Race, needless to say, upon seeing Ai Yi make her entrance, each one of them panicked and knelt down.

Clearly, Ai Yi’s attendance was something no one could have predicted.

Yet Ai Yi didn’t even glance at these people, just indifferently holding Shane’s hand.

To her, although everyone here held high and dignified statuses, they were no different from ordinary mortals in her eyes.

Thus, Ai Yi wouldn’t spare them another look, nor would she respond to their bows.

Only Shane looked around at all those who bowed their heads to him, dignitaries who undoubtedly belonged to the powerful echelon in this world, feeling somewhat sentimental.

Others marveled that just a few months ago, Shane was still an adventurer; now he had risen meteorically, deeming it quite unbelievable.

But in truth, how far could Shane truly be considered exceptional?

It is essential to understand that Shane always saw himself as a very vulgar, very ordinary person, not as the protagonist who believed himself to be the center of this world.

Even from his previous life, although Shane had forgotten who he was back then, it was evident from his attitudes and values throughout this life that he was certainly not a person of wealth or high status.

To find himself standing among the elite of all races within just a few months, compelling everyone to bow before him, it would be impossible not to feel moved.

(No wonder all the shut-ins dream of being reborn in an Otherworld or transmigrating to a fictional realm.)

It must be because of this feeling of being chosen by destiny that people are so enthusiastic about it.

Unfortunately...

(I’m still a commoner, merely an ordinary fish.)

Shane chuckled magnanimously, the sentimentality in his heart fading.

His capacity for acceptance had always been strong.

Thus, in just a mere second, he had fully responded.

"Have seen Lady Liya."

In such a formal occasion, Shane had not been too casual, and likewise bowed respectfully towards Liya.

There was no helping it; this was his own engagement banquet, and even if Shane were usually a free spirit, he wouldn’t be so at his own engagement banquet.

However, Shane wasn’t too formal either.

"Where is Luoqi?"

Like that, Shane directly entered the main topic.

Liya slightly smiled, turned around, and directed everyone’s gaze toward the direction of the throne.

There, along a side aisle, two figures slowly emerged and entered everyone’s sight.

The arrivals were indeed Anxi and Luoqi.

Anxi held his daughter’s hand, resembling a father about to entrust his daughter to someone else, his face full of kindness.

But in that moment, everyone’s gaze concentrated on the figure beside Anxi, focused solely on her.

Shane did the same.

The reason was simple; today, Luoqi was incredibly beautiful.

She was draped in white, wearing a pearl necklace and jade earrings, and despite wearing no makeup, her skin was as white as snow and tantalizingly smooth.

Her pure white dress, much like a wedding gown, exposed her shoulders and back, exuding a stunning elegance.

Today, she had neither the Holy Sword nor a commanding presence, only an alluring beauty that captivated all.

Especially the slight smile unconsciously carried on her face, and her crimson, gem-like eyes curved like crescent moons, added a softness and glamour never seen before.

This version of her was truly a genuine princess.

This version of her was the goddess in everyone’s eyes.

The Human Race’s foremost beauty, the Kingdom’s treasure, under everyone’s watchful gaze, made her most beautiful appearance in her life boldly.

Everyone was dumbstruck.

Everyone’s heartbeat also seemed to skip several beats.

The focal point of the event, in that moment, undoubtedly belonged to Luoqi.

No one could compare.

"Indeed endowed by heaven..."

Nadura, who had followed Shane all along, couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration after seeing such Luoqi.

"So it is, truly worthy of recognition..."

Even Ai Yi seemed to see Luoqi in a new light, murmuring a comment.

Vivian, Tielle, Lu Muya, Merica—the group of four likewise watched Luoqi at that moment, feeling admiration, awe, respect, and relief, among other emotions.

Even Lilith seemed to think Luoqi had a certain quality, and couldn’t help but take several more glances at her.

Anxi, leading such a Luoqi, slowly came in front of Shane and Ai Yi.

"Have seen the Dragon Demon Lord."

Anxi bowed respectfully to Ai Yi.

Anxi hadn’t anticipated Ai Yi’s participation.

But he was undoubtedly pleased.

Because it signified that the Demon Clan was paying attention to this engagement banquet, paying attention to the Mitra Royal Family, undoubtedly a matter worthy of joy.

Ai Yi glanced at Anxi.

"I’m just here to have a look," Ai Yi gave Anxi face, stating indifferently, "Don’t mind me; carry on with your affairs."

"Yes." Anxi naturally had no objections.

Thus, Anxi turned his gaze towards Shane, his eyes somewhat complex but filled more with relief and satisfaction.

Despite being startled by Shane’s displayed capabilities and even feeling some apprehension, Anxi had to admit that such a figure was also a good match for Luoqi.

Thus, Anxi had no regrets left.
