The Great Demon King

Chapter 134: An awkward meeting

They entered Phoebe's room and stopped in front of a large mirror. Phoebe was then stopped by a stack of black nightclothes hardened with a beautifully rolled up golden fringe that included a complete set of boots and underwear.

“Replace your clothes first and I will help you with outerwear in a moment.” Phoebe left after handing over the pile of clothes to Han Shuo and went to wait outside.

Han Shuo looked at the shirt dress, boots, and bow tie with a dejected look. She hesitates, then follows Phoebe's request and wears it. He looked at himself in the mirror and felt that he was becoming stronger and handsome.

“Are you done?” Phoebe asked outside.

“Yes, I'm done.” Han Shuo replied.

When he heard Han Shuo's reply, Phoebe walked in from the outside and looked at Han Shuo from top to bottom with her clear eyes. He nodded, “This is perfect for you. You look so handsome in these clothes! ”

“Oh, so? I feel pretty good too. “Han Shuo smiled faintly with a careless response.

“I'll help you with an outer jacket.” Phoebe walked next to Han Shuo and picked up the jacket in Han Shuo's hands easily. He did not wait for Han Shuo to speak and took the initiative to help Han Shuo get into the jacket, his expression was quite happy.

The two were close to each other as a faint fragrance drifted around Phoebe drifting into Han Shuo's mouth and nose. Coupled with Phoebe's indescribable gentle movements, these all made Han Shuo's face flushed and heart pounding.

After Phoebe helped Han Shuo put on all his night clothes and helped him tie the tie, Phoebe took a step back and focused her beautiful, glittering eyes on Han Shuo, staring intently.

“I didn't think you were so fit. This set of formal attire seems to fit you quite well. ”Phoebe took a slow breath in surprise as she stared intently at Han Shuo.

“Then, did you finish what I asked you to do?” Han Shuo finally couldn't help but ask what he cared about the most after holding onto his words until now.

He rolled his eyes angrily at Han Shuo, saying sadly, “Can't we talk about your business now, and talk about it after the banquet ends?”

Han Shuo did not think that his careless questioning would bring Phoebe unhappiness. He thinks personally that a woman's heart is hard to guess. He asked others for help and could only nod his head with a sad smile.

“Alright fine. Don't give me a reluctant and reluctant look. I promise you that as long as you accompany Me to the banquet and return, you will leave the Guild satisfied, “ Phoebe said as she saw that Han Shuo was smiling widely.

He then told her to wait for a while and turned around to enter his room. After the sound of rifling through the clothes, the stunning Phoebe wearing a simple and elegant pale blue dress with a faint powder appeared in front of Han Shuo.

The graceful and elegant pale blue dress tapered to the thin waist of the chest, completely offsetting the perfect curve of her chest and thin waist. The skirt that started around her lower body rippled like beautiful flower petals. It was as if the waves were flapping as he walked. Her pretty cheeks were even more alluring due to the light makeup. Han Shuo was flabbergasted as he looked at it.

“What's wrong, why are you looking at me in such a silly way?” Phoebe looked a little proud as she threw her head slightly arrogantly and asked Han Shuo.

“No, no.” Han Shuo's lips were somewhat dry and responded after swallowing saliva.

Laughing lightly, Phoebe lifted her head and walked out. A faint fragrance floated around Han Shuo as he passed by him. He opened his mouth after arriving at the door, “Let's go and attend the banquet now.”

Following behind Phoebe, Han Shuo climbed into the long-prepared carriage. The two swordsmen who acted as male escorts and pushed the horse into the distance.

“Where are we going?” Han Shuo could not help but open his mouth with a question when he saw Phoebe was sitting on the carriage, seemingly thinking of something.

“The Empire's finance minister held a dinner banquet and has invited some famous businessmen in the Empire. This is a gathering of business people and the perfect time to discuss business, “Phoebe looked at Han Shuo and opened her mouth to explain.

Starting, Han Shuo said, “Then isn't that Lawrence's father's banquet?”

“Lawrence and I have a good friendship, we are both from the Academy. We've also done some transactions before, so of course I know some things about him, “Han Shuo didn't tell Phoebe that Lisa was the one who told him about Lawrence. He spoke without further ado, making it seem that the two of them had a close relationship.

Phoebe was unsuspecting as she nodded, “So this is the case. I didn't know that you were close to my senior brother. This kind of surprises me. ”

The two of them chatted about Lawrence afterwards. It was mostly Han Shuo taking the opportunity to ask a question and Phoebe responded. Contrary to Han Shuo's expectations, Phoebe didn't know much about Lawrence. He only knew that he was the son of the Empire's finance minister, and even though they had the same master, the two of them did not meet much.

According to Phoebe's words, Lawrence didn't seem to be the one to focus on training martial techniques. He spent more time studying random things with their teachers than martial techniques, so it was no wonder that Lawrence's martial skills were not so outstanding.

Phoebe was unsure about Lawrence's more problems. He only knew that he dealt with people well and had a good relationship with their teacher. Lawrence is also a little resourceful and seems to have a lot of secrets about him, but Phoebe is also unsure of that.

The two involuntarily arrived at their destination as they chatted. It was only when Han Shuo got off the carriage that he found them not too far from the palace.

Getting off the carriage with Phoebe and walking to the door of the luxurious mansion, there was a courteous butler long ago waiting to welcome Han Shuo and Phoebe inside. They walked through the corridor and arrived at the courtyard surrounded by artificial mountains and rivers. They found that all sorts of soft and comfortable chairs had been placed around it, with many beautiful sweet dishes and quality wine laid out on the plains around the artificial mountains.

People dressed in luxurious clothes were strewn across all areas, holding wine glasses in their hands and speaking with smiles on their faces. When Han Shuo and Phoebe entered, the dazzling Phoebe immediately attracted the attention of many men in the area as well as some envious looks from some noble ladies.

“Halo Phoebe, I'm so glad you could come and participate in the banquet this time.” An ordinary-looking middle-aged man with normal features called out gently from the grass next to the flowing water, walking over with a smile.

“Uncle Eevee, how did Phoebe not dare to attend the event that you have invited?” Phoebe pulled Han Shuo and walked towards the finance minister Eevee of the Lancelot Empire.

Eevee Egadi is the father of Lawrence Egadi. Han Shuo looked at Eevee, watched her closely and admired how Eevee could father a handsome son like Lawrence, who possessed ordinary traits. He felt it was truly incredible.

“Is this handsome young man your girlfriend?” Eevee looked at Han Shuo with a smile and asked in surprise when she saw Han Shuo standing by his side.

“Yes, Uncle Eevee, he called Bryan and he was also quite close to Lawrence's older brother,” Phoebe nodded and replied with a smile. Dias intentionally approached Han Shuo as they spoke and reached out to take his wrist, speaking with a satisfied expression.

Although she knew that Phoebe was doing that on purpose to prove their relationship with Eevee, Han Shuo still felt something strange in his heart when Phoebe held onto him so intimately.

“Oh, so here's the problem. Heh heh, Lawrence has returned from school today as well and is changing into his night clothes. I think he's going to come out a little. You can have a sweet talk later. ”Eevee spoke in surprise and then smiled at Han Shuo and Phoebe. “I'm a bit busy today and need to attend other guests, I'm afraid I have to leave you for now.”

“Do not worry, Uncle Eevee, pay attention to what you need to do!” Phoebe said kindly with courtesy.

Eevee had just left when a middle-aged man with a distended stomach walked towards Phoebe with a glass of wine in his hand. The man suddenly saw Han Shuo standing next to Phoebe before he grabbed him and his face immediately darkened, but he covered it up quite well.

“It's been a few days, but Miss Phoebe is just as beautiful and charming as ever. I don't know if you've ever considered the problem I told you last time? “When the man reached Phoebe, his sharp gaze stared at Phoebe without leaving as he spoke in question.

“Apardon, Mr. Cameron, Boozt Merchant Guild we don't want to join your merchant union.” Phoebe's face continued her cold expression as she glanced at Cameron, speaking shyly.

Cameron's face changed as he looked at Phoebe deeply, saying, “Our merchant union is there to oppose the Brut Merchant Alliance. As a member of the Brutal Merchant Alliance, the McGrady Union seems to be a sufficient threat to your Boozt Merchant Guild. I hope you can seriously consider my proposal. ”

“Halo Mr Cameron! Who are you talking to? ”A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind as a gentle and alluring Emily, all dressed, suddenly appeared behind Han Shuo.

His facial expression had been relaxed and carefree when it suddenly changed after he saw Han Shuo as his body rotated. When his gaze landed on Phoebe holding onto Han Shuo's arm, his eyes danced over as a strange look focused firmly on Han Shuo."
