Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Roar of the Weak

Chapter 427 Dancing Together

Di Xing had guessed that he might need to dance that morning, so he had given her some intensive training during the day. Although her dance moves were still quite amateurish, they were at least good enough not to step on Tian Xuan's feet.

"Damn it! What makes him, a lowly loser from the lower class, so special? I get it! That woman must be a monster under that mask!"

"Big brother, if I'm not mistaken, that woman should be Tianxuan, the new student. You even specifically requested that he be brought into the disciplinary committee a while ago!"

"W-what?" Jia Zhengyi was completely dumbfounded. "Damn it, you guys need to quickly arrange for someone to separate them!"

So, taking advantage of the brief separation between Di Xing and Tian Xuan after the dance ended, a group of girls wearing fox masks suddenly appeared, trying to kidnap Tian Xuan. However, Tian Xuan was agile and gracefully dodged them.

However, taking advantage of Tianxuan's inattention, one of them deliberately stepped on Tianxuan's long dress, and with a tearing sound, Tianxuan's long dress snapped.

Meanwhile, Di Xing, quick-witted and agile, took off his suit jacket and tied it around Tian Xuan's waist to prevent her from being exposed.

Di Xing whispered gently in Tian Xuan's ear, "Hurry up and change your clothes."

Tianxuan said anxiously, "If I leave, you'll have to deal with them all by yourself."

"It's okay, there's still the little dinosaur... uh..." Di Xing looked around and realized the little dinosaur was long gone. "It's alright, I can handle it on my own. Don't you trust my abilities?"

Tianxuan nodded and walked towards the changing room, turning back to look at herself every few steps.

Upon seeing this scene, Jia Zheng on the second floor exclaimed that it was a great opportunity and immediately picked up the walkie-talkie, "Now! Proceed according to plan!"

All the lights in the venue instantly focused on the lonely Di Xing.

"Hahaha, everyone around you is in pairs, and you're all alone. Embarrassing, aren't you? Feeling the pressure?" Jia Zhengyi laughed triumphantly.

He had been thinking about this scene for a long time; the inspiration came from reading the novel "The Secret of Lu Mingfei and Smaug".

Di Xing looked around helplessly, like a pathetic kid abandoned by the world... or so he thought!

Di Xing locked onto his target, darted forward, grabbed a chicken leg from the table, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"It's so fragrant!"

How could I possibly waste my time? With so many beneficial things to eat, it would be a disservice to the chef!

The underling looked at Jia Zhengyi dumbfounded. "B-Big Brother, this guy isn't playing by the rules. What do we do now?"

"Don't panic. He's definitely very flustered right now. He's using eating to cover up his fear. Keep the lights on him!"

So, under the spotlight, Di Xing continued to feast without a care in the world, making many of the dancers who were watching hungry.

At this moment, a girl wearing a cute cat mask reluctantly approached Di Xing.

She cautiously asked Di Xing, "Excuse me, do you not have a dance partner? If you don't mind, would you like to dance with me?"

"Xiao Ai, you're so kind! You're clearly terrified of me, but you still tried to help me out."

"Don't call me Xiao Ai! Wait, how did you recognize me!?"

"You recognized me too, didn't you?"

That's because your mask is too conspicuous.

Looking at Ai Aragaki's equally conspicuous cat mask, Di Xing casually made up a story, "Because I remembered your scent!"

Ai Aragaki trembled with fear, yelling, "Pervert!" before turning and running away in a flash.

Di Xing didn't mind and continued eating.

A moment later, another girl wearing a samurai mask walked over.

"Hello, would you like to dance with me?"

Upon seeing this, Di Xing exclaimed, "Holy crap, this must be the user of the Six Samurai! That mask is so obvious!" However, she probably doesn't know that I'm the one who defeated her in a flash. If she found out, it would be very dangerous. So, Di Xing immediately declined.

"Excuse me, I'm waiting for my dance partner. I got tired from dancing, so I'm eating something to recover my energy."

The samurai woman immediately replied respectfully, "Yes, I was presumptuous, but I truly admire your ability to remain calm in the face of both honor and disgrace."

Then she turned and left.

Immediately afterwards, a woman in a kimono wearing a mask decorated with spider lilies walked over gracefully.

"Hey, why are you here all by yourself?"

Needless to say, this must be Stella Jones.

Eating alone tastes better.

"You came to the ball just to eat, right? Would you like to dance with me?"

"You can dance even in a kimono!"

"I could do that when I was eight years old."

"That must be really tiring, but I'd better decline. I'm afraid you might set me on fire while you're dancing."

"How could I do something so unromantic? I just felt that as fellow users of the disliked Undead deck, we should help each other."

"Sorry, all I want to do right now is eat."

"Alright then, but remember, you owe me a dance."

"???"

And so, Stella Jones left, completely satisfied.

Di Xing didn't think too much about it and continued eating.

Then another familiar scent of peach blossoms wafted in.

Di Xing looked up and found that Luo Jixian, the student council president wearing a stunning peach blossom mask, had gracefully sat down beside him, her pink hair even lightly brushing against his face.

On the second floor, Jia Zhengyi nearly chewed the railing to pieces.

"Did this guy save the world in his past life? How come so many beautiful women are willing to go after him?!"

......

Years later, during a major battle, the scarred veteran Jia Zhengyi lay in a trench, boasting to his last remaining comrades.

"How about that? I'm amazing, aren't I? I guessed a quarter of the truth years ago!"

......

Di Xing tossed the cleaned chicken leg bone into the trash can, clapped his hands contentedly, and said, "Sorry, I don't want to dance right now."

Luo Jixian didn't answer, but instead pulled Di Xing's hand, took out a wet wipe with a peach blossom pattern, and began to carefully wipe.

This intimate gesture made Di Xing blush slightly.

"What are you doing? Men and women shouldn't touch each other!"

"Don't move. Do you know how many people here have been humiliated by you in the Little KC Cup?"

Luo Jixian's heavenly voice conveyed a cold message.

"What...what do you want to do?"

Di Xing really wanted to rip off his hood right now. Tian Xuan was right, this thing couldn't hide anything!

"It's nothing, I just need your help with something."

"What kind of help?"

"The lights are shining on you right now, so it's not convenient to talk."

Luo Jixian finally wiped Di Xing's hands clean and happily took his hand.

"Let's dance, that way Jia Zhengyi will move the lights away from you, and then we can talk."

Di Xing had no choice but to reluctantly stand up.

Just then, the music in the ballroom started playing again—the classic tango, Por Una Cabeza (One Step Away).

Di Xing had seen this scene in Al Pacino's film "Scent of a Woman," so he roughly knew how to dance it.

So, accompanied by melodious music, the two began to dance together.
