# Chapter 1187: Dance of Youth! (Bonus Chapter)
As she spoke, Jiangnan caught Shaxia's delicate hand, and the two of them walked straight toward the center of the dance floor!
Instantly, everyone's attention was drawn to them!
"Ah~ they're going to dance? Damn! Sister Shaxia beat me to it!"
"What? You want to go? Hehe~ Can you snatch him away from Sister Shaxia?"
"Wow~ looking at them now, they really are a golden couple, a match made in heaven!"
Haiti pouted from the side.
(๑ớ₃ờ) *I wanted to dance with Brother Jiangnan too...*
But Roberte looked somewhat worried!
Shaxia pulling Jiangnan out to dance at this moment? She clearly had ulterior motives!
Shaxia didn't say a word. One hand interlocked fingers with Jiangnan, while the other brought his hand to rest on her slender waist.
˚*̥(∗*ᵒ̌ٹᵒ̌)(･᷅ᆺ･᷄๑)
They stood very close together!
Jiangnan lowered his head, his gaze focused—not leaving the gem necklace for even a second!
Shaxia's face was full of shyness.
(◔ก◔ิ๑) "Hehe~ don't look so intently~"
Jiangnan swallowed his saliva.
(๑¥ω¥) "Can't help it, this thing is just too captivating!"
Shaxia feigned annoyance: (︶.̮︶✽) "You're so naughty~ Well then, let's begin~"
As the lively music played, Shaxia swayed her body and began to move her dance steps.
Just as she was about to start, Jiangnan's steps completely failed to keep up!
Shaxia sneered inwardly. *His movements are so stiff, he doesn't even know where to place his hands?*
*As expected, he's a dance novice—just a brute who knows nothing but fighting and killing!*
Since the situation with his feet was completely blocked by Shaxia's chest, he couldn't see at all.
A cold glint flashed in Shaxia's eyes!
She raised the heel of her high heel shoe and stomped viciously toward the top of Jiangnan's foot!
She put her entire weight behind it!
Jiangnan was stepped on, and Shaxia also leaned forward!
Jiangnan staggered backward, nearly falling!
Many of the nobles in the crowd couldn't help gasping!
Shaxia covered her mouth, her face full of apology.
(･᷄ლ･᷅) "I'm so sorry! Did I step on your foot? Are you alright?"
"I didn't know you couldn't dance this... I'm really sorry. Why don't we switch to something you know?"
"Or I could teach you? It's very simple!"
With that, she extended her hand toward Jiangnan again.
(･᷄ὢ･᷅)つ
Instantly, the princes, princesses, and nobles began covering their mouths and whispering among themselves!
"Wow~ seriously? He's the envoy of Huaxia, isn't he? He can't even dance? The simplest ballroom dance?"
"This is kind of embarrassing, isn't it? After all, he's representing Huaxia on a diplomatic mission to the Fish Kingdom—he's representing Huaxia's face!"
"Tsk tsk~ It's normal that he can't. After all, Huaxia doesn't have this custom. I heard all they know is chugging bottles and playing finger-guessing games~"
"Really? That boring? Hey, what a waste of such good looks. I was hoping to dance with him~"
Haiti looked furious from the side, her small fists clenched tightly, wanting to step forward and rescue Jiangnan!
(งᵒ̌~ᵒ̌)ง⁼³₌₃
As a princess, she had learned ballroom dancing and such since childhood. How could Brother Jiangnan have experienced this?
Using dancing to bully Brother Jiangnan—what kind of skill was that?
But just then, Jiangnan's face broke into a nuclear-friendly smile!
(ꐦ°᷄◡°᷅)!
You people are forcing me to show off, aren't you?
I've been sitting on hundreds of thousands of skill points with nowhere to use them!
(๑•̌ٹ•̑) "Oh? You're very good at dancing?"
Shaxia smiled: "International Ballroom Dance Competition—I won the championship last year~"
"Leading a dance novice like you won't be a problem!"
Jiangnan grinned brightly, stepped forward, and grabbed Shaxia's hand!
He pulled her hard, making her crash into his embrace, his big hand firmly gripping her slender waist!
"Actually, it's not that I can't dance. I just think ordinary ballroom dancing is too bland!"
Shaxia was stunned: (๑•̌‸•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "Then... do you know something else?"
A hint of a smirk curled at the corner of Jiangnan's mouth: "You think I got the nickname 'Spirit Dancer' for nothing?"
[Skill Activated! Dance Through Heaven (Beginner): LV0!]
[Adding skill points: 1,111,100 points!]
[Skill Upgraded! Dance Through Heaven (Master Level): MAX!]
Countless dance movements flooded into his mind, feeling as if they had become instinct!
Before Shaxia could react, Jiangnan spun her!
Shaxia whirled out like a little spinning top, barely managing to stop!
But there stood Jiangnan, hand on chest, arm extended, hips twisted, head tilted—his deep, dark eyes fixed on Shaxia!
As if she were his prey!
Shaxia: ???
*A textbook tango opening stance?*
*Jiangnan knows tango?*
Looking into Jiangnan's eyes, Shaxia couldn't control her heart from racing wildly!
*Damn! What's happening? I'm actually charmed!*
An imposing aura radiated from him, making it impossible not to fix one's gaze on Jiangnan!
With a gorgeous dance step, Jiangnan arrived in front of Shaxia and grabbed her hand!
(๑¯ิٹ¯ิ)۶٩(•̥▵•๑)
"Ready, champion?"
Shaxia: "I..."
Before she could finish, Shaxia was pulled over by Jiangnan!
The dance steps were fast and gorgeous. Shaxia broke out in a cold sweat!
She had no time to think about anything else—she could only focus on keeping up with Jiangnan's movements, because one misstep would make her fall and embarrass herself!
*What's going on!*
*This is a novice? My international championship-level ballroom dancing can't keep up with Jiangnan's steps?*
*And what's with this damn aura?!*
*Why can't I help my heart racing, being completely captivated by him?!*
At this moment, everyone was frozen in place, staring in shock at the two dancing figures on the floor!
(*ﾟﾛﾟ)!!
Those high-difficulty moves—just one look was enough to give you goosebumps!
Jiangnan, in his black suit, was like a king dancing in the night!
He displayed his charm to the fullest, shaking heaven and earth!
Shaxia's forehead was now covered in cold sweat!
=͟͟͞͞(‧̣̥̇︶﹏︶‧̣̥̇)
She twisted her ankle in a moment of carelessness, her body uncontrollably tilting to one side!
But Jiangnan seized the opportunity, wrapping his arm around Shaxia's waist!
He leaned forward, and under Jiangnan's control, Shaxia bent backward!
One elegant leg lifted high, her waist arched backward to a shocking angle!
The whole crowd gasped!
Haiti's eyes widened: "Ah! Look, Roberte! Brother Jiangnan is incredibly handsome!"
Roberte swallowed hard. *All my worries were completely unnecessary, huh?*
*Just how many tricks does this Jiangnan know? Is he truly all-powerful?*
Shaxia was dumbfounded. She felt she had completely lost control—like a puppet on Jiangnan's strings!
Their dance skills weren't even on the same level!
But even so, Jiangnan didn't stop!
He kept leaning forward, his handsome face inching toward Shaxia!
Shaxia: !!!
Seeing Jiangnan's handsome face approaching, she almost suffocated!
She instinctively bent backward even more. *If I don't back off, I'll be kissed!*
But Shaxia had already bent her waist to the limit!
And Jiangnan kept pushing forward!
[From Shaxia: Resentment Value +1000!]
*Stop pushing forward!*
*My waist! My waist, damn it!*
*It's about to snap!*
At this point, Shaxia was almost folded in half, rolling her eyes in pain, gritting her teeth!
˚‧º·(ꐦ꒪ͦ皿꒪ͦꐦ)‧º·˚
The crowd exclaimed!
"Heavens~ Princess Shaxia has an incredible waist! A normal person would have broken their back bending like that!"
"Tsk~ This is what years of dance training do—she's so flexible!"
Shaxia: !!!
*I'm pretty sure I've already snapped!*
[From Shaxia...]
A sly smile curled at the corner of Jiangnan's mouth. He raised his hand and lifted!
Shaxia was spun like a staff around Jiangnan's waist several times!
Haiti: !!!
*Why does this scene feel so familiar?*
It reminded Haiti of the unpleasant memory of being used as a weapon in the Abyss!
Shaxia felt dizzy!
*Hey, hey! Are you really dancing?*
*Stop! I'm about to throw up from spinning!*
[From Shaxia: Resentment Value +1000!]
Jiangnan paused. *Damn!*
*Not good—I got too carried away and accidentally used the human weapon skill!*
So he tossed Shaxia high into the air, then raised both hands upward to catch her!
He grabbed Shaxia's two high heels and lifted her entire body above his head!
(๐ᵒ̴̶̷̥́﹏ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀๐)
٩(*´꒳`*)۶
This difficult move drew gasps from the crowd!
Before Shaxia could jump down from above, Jiangnan spread both arms wide!
A "crack" sound was heard!
Shaxia's legs were forced into a perfect split!
(◍˃̵꒨˂̵)
✽ノ⌒✽
From over two meters in the air, she came crashing straight down, landing in a full split on the floor!
*THUD!*
Shaxia's face turned green. *What kind of stunt is this?!*
*It hurts so much!*
*There's no way you do this to someone!*
*A high-altitude split landing—really?!*
The dance ended perfectly, and warm applause filled the venue!
Jiangnan placed his hand on his chest, a bright smile on his face, bowing to all sides!
✧*｡(ૢ⁼̴ヮ⁼̴)✧*｡
Meanwhile, Shaxia was still stuck in her split on the floor, unable to get up for a long time. *My legs don't even feel like they belong to me anymore!*
Jiangnan gallantly extended his hand and pulled Shaxia up from the ground!
"That was a very enjoyable dance. Let's dance again sometime!"
Tears brimmed in Shaxia's eyes. She ground her teeth and shook her head frantically!
(☍﹏⁰。)!
*If I ever dance with you again, I'll wear my shorts on my head!*
Shaxia's legs were so spread that she couldn't bring them together. Stuck in a horse stance, waddling like a gorilla, she shuffled toward the resting area!
Many people covered their mouths, snickering. Shaxia's resentment value was going through the roof!
As for Jiangnan, he kept his eyes fixed on Shaxia's gem necklace, his mind racing!
Just then, the butler Craig appeared in the venue!
"The Sea King has arrived!"
In that instant, everyone's attention was drawn!
