Chapter 2361: Chapter 664: An Yiqing Displays Her Power and Neutralizes the Poison
An Yiqing took advantage of the moment to withdraw her hand, a smile of restraint at the corner of her mouth, "Good evening, Old Prince."
Old Prince Bruch coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment, "Xiao Qing Beauty, let me introduce you briefly. You already know my nephew Bali, these two handsome young men are also elites of my Bruch Family." He pointed to a handsome man with dark brown short hair, "This is Moji, the war god of the Bruch Family. His father was my long-time friend, and also the war god of the previous generation. Moji, though young, is soon to become part of the Eight-wing Blood Race, which is rare in our entire Blood Clan. And this, my other nephew, is another young talent, Hull. He has always been well-matched with Bali in the family, both being pillars of the Bruch Family."
Following the gaze of the Old Prince, An Yiqing looked towards the two young men. War god Moji had dark brown short hair, neat and efficient. His stature was taller than both Bali and Eddie, the black tailcoat could not conceal a powerful physique full of explosive strength. Moji’s eyes were bright and piercing, his golden-brown eyes carried a glass-like sheen. A single glance at him, and one would be captivated by the vigor radiating from this man.
Hull was slightly thinner than Moji, closer in build to Bali. However, his complexion was paler than the other blood clan members, appearing like a frail scholar. An Yiqing glanced at him briefly, thinking Hull’s health might not be particularly good. Yet, despite his aura being less strong than the others, his clear eyes resembled a sky full of stars, drawing people into their depths.
An Yiqing greeted the two of them, inwardly marveling that those favored by the Old Prince were truly exceptional, both impressive in appearance and remarkable in bearing.
"Xiao Qing Beauty, Mr. Xia and Miss Ruan have been waiting in the dining room for quite some time, let’s head over for dinner first." Old Prince Bruch said amiably.
An Yiqing naturally had no objection, she followed Old Prince Bruch, with Bali, Eddie, and four handsome men closely trailing. Moji and Hull kept secretly observing this elegant beauty, particularly Moji, whose eyes subtly showed a hint of combat spirit.
It’s said that this maiden was the one who killed the Archbishop in Red, Lawrence. How formidable must her power be? Truly wish to compete with her!
The group soon reached the dining room, which, though named a dining room, was lavish beyond compare. The ceiling adorned with dazzling crystal chandeliers, warm yellow light reflecting in every corner, casting a glowing shimmer on the gilded decorations embedded on the walls. In the center of the grand dining room, a rectangular dining table was placed. The table was crafted from the rarely seen Black Jade Stone, and An Yiqing, keen-eyed, noticed it should have been carved from an immense single piece of Black Jade Stone, rather than assembled from separate components. She couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, how much Black Jade Stone must such a large table require? The Bruch Family truly worthy as a century-old aristocracy, rich in both gold and silver!
Already waiting in the dining room, Xia Hau and Ruan Xue raised their heads upon hearing the footsteps, their eyes lighting up at the sight of An Yiqing. The two stood up to greet her, a familial affection glinting in their eyes.
"Xiao Qing, you finally arrived, come sit down, I’m almost starving!" Ruan Xue playfully pulled An Yiqing along, sticking out her tongue cheekily.
Xia Hau also looked at An Yiqing affectionately, at the same time gazing indulgently at Ruan Xue.
All of them knew the deep affection between Xia Hau, Ruan Xue, and An Yiqing, so they did not interrupt. After their pleasantries, Old Prince Bruch orchestrated the seating arrangements.
The head seat naturally belonged to Purple-Gold Blood Emperor Xia Hau. But today with An Yiqing’s presence, Xia Hau considered this meal as more of a family dinner, thus he along with Ruan Xue took initiative to sit beside An Yiqing, leaving the head seat to Old Prince Bruch.
Though this arrangement was something Old Prince did not want, with a command from the Purple-Gold Blood Emperor he dare not defy, so he reluctantly took the seat.
"Xiao Qing Beauty, I got some information on your taste preferences from Mr. Xia and Miss Ruan, and took the liberty of having the chef prepare some flavors unique to Country Zi. I believe it should suit your palate. Attend to the meal, present the dishes!"
As Old Prince’s voice fell, Sicily, dressed in a black tailcoat holding the scepter, led a group of maids in dark red gowns, carrying gilded trays. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the maids orderly placed the gilded trays on the table one by one, then sequentially unveiled the covers.
