Chapter 38 - Wondrous

"Hmph. What type of dance steps is that?"

"I have never seen or heard of such dance step in my years of existence, how come Lu Shang knows about such a dance?" An elder that was observing the two muttered with his eyes glowing with confusion.

"T-This is impossible… How can he dance so perfectly?"

"I'm jealous right now, how the heck is Lu Shang doing it? Getting Lin Lan to dance with him despite at first he ignored her"

Whispers echoed in the hall, even those young cultivators who were in the dance hall had long stopped their dance and focused their eyes on Lu Shang and Lin Lan who had completely taken over the dance floor, displaying the wondrous and graceful dance moves around without making a single mistake.

Unknowingly to Lu Shang and Lin Lan who were immersed in their dance that they had become the center of attention in the hall, some elders dancing with their partner stopped all because of the wondrous dance movement. The dance step was too eye-catching, while the usual formal dance seemed bland in comparison.

Si Guo and Si Wei with the Si Clan had a lot of disbelief on their faces, they couldn't believe what they were seeing. Even though Lu Shang was dancing a different style, this wasn't what they were expecting; what they were expecting was to see him miss a step and then trip over which would then make him lose a lot of face but the opposite was what was happening. The two had successfully gained the attention of everyone with the supreme dance step that was many times better than the slow-moving dance step that the others in the hall were performing.

 Lu Shang didn't even bother himself whether people were looking or not. All he cared about was getting Si Guo jealous and angrier. Who cares if he explodes with rage in the hall, he can go mad as long as he wants but he can't do anything to him or else the consequences will be too large for him to swallow.

"How about we make things more interesting? This is only the first part of the dance, now what you are going to be experiencing will be different from this one but for all that is going to happen. Just free your mind and allow your body to do to my blending," Lu Shang whispered to Lin Lan.

Lin Lan nodded her head in response, 'Just the first step is so wonderful, I can't imagine how the rest will be. Interesting!' Lin Lan silently thought.

"Don't disappoint with the next steps" Lin Lan voices out. 

"Don't worry, I won't let you down," Lu Shang said with a smile. "Just relax and let your body move freely." Lin Lan took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and let herself go along with the music

Suddenly she felt Lu Shang's hands tightly grip her waist, then she opened her eyes to see Lu Shang holding her closer to his body they were just inches away from each other. It was like a dream, a moment out of time. Lin Lan felt her heart swell with emotion as if it was ready to burst. This was the first she was getting this close to a male and an extremely hot and handsome guy at that.

Lu Shang loosens his hold on Lin Lan's hand and then turns her around on her feet. 

Feeling the change in the dance step, a light and wonderful sensation ran through Lin Lan's body. It was different from anything she had ever experienced before, but she didn't dwell on it. Instead, she allowed herself to be guided by Lu Shang, her feet moving in perfect time with him.

A 'wow' sound escaped out of her mouth which made the smile on Lu Shang's face to widened.

The moment the spin was completed, Lu Shang gently pushed her outwards by holding both her waist and hand. It was as though, he wasn't going to let go of her.

Then, he spun her around again and pulled her back towards him, this time the time duration match perfectly well with the music timing. Lin Lan found herself gazing into his eyes, their faces so close that she could feel his breath against her cheek. Time seemed to slow as they stood there, their bodies moving in perfect unison.

'Hahahahaha… Is this not heaven giving me an opportunity…. It happens to a slow-motion steady music which made the dance step to be perfectly carried out' Lu Shang had a grin on his face as he talk and laugh in his thoughts.

The number of people who were watching them had increased, if it were to be 30% of the people who were watching them then it have increased to 70%. DAMNIT! That's a huge number whose attention was on Lin Lan and Lu Shang.

Lu Yi and Zhang Xiao were also part of those who were watching the displaying of their son along with the others.

Lu Yi faced Zhang Xiao with a questioning expression on his face. "Where did Lu Shang get to know such a wonderful dance step?"

Zhang Xiao shot him an 'I don't know' bombastic side-eye.

"I wonder how he got to know of that step he is displaying" Lu Yi returned his gaze to Lu Shang but this time his eyes contain a strong emotion for his son. "It doesn't matter where he got to know of the steps. All that matters to me is, his happiness" Zhang Xiao said with a smile on her face.

The crowd gasped as Lu Shang and Lin Lan executed an amazing feat of acrobatic dancing, their bodies moving together in perfect harmony. It was as if they were one person, a single entity, dancing in perfect unison. The air around them shimmered with a magical glow, the room filled with a sense of wonder and possibility. The crowd could only stare, their jaws hanging open, as Lu Shang and Lin Lan moved across the floor like a vision of beauty and grace.

Some couldn't help but think of where Lu Shang could have learned how to dance so perfectly well but weren't able to come up with any clue. If they happen to know about the fact that the Lu Shang they use to know was dead but managed to revive by another soul from earth which reincarnated in his body, they will all cough out blood from their mouths and nostrils.

As Si Guo watched Lu Shang and Lin Lan dance, his eyes narrowed with a dark fury seeing Lin Lan and Lu Shang in such a close range that their face was almost touching each other caused the hatred and anger in his heart to multiply. He had never hated anyone as much as he hated Lu Shang at that moment. To see the woman he loved in the arms of another man, a man who had seemingly come out of nowhere, was almost too much to bear. He gritted his teeth, his hands clenched into fists at his side. He could barely contain the rage that was coursing through his veins right now. He one that supposed to be in the position of Lu Shang but Lin Lan choose Lu Shang over him.

If not that this was the territory of the Lu Clan and Lu Shang happens to be the young master of the clan, he could have attacked Lu Shang and made sure he doesn't live to see the light of the next day.

A girl was standing in a corner, this girl was no other person than Lu Ning. She watched Lu Shang and Lin Lan dance, it was like her figure had been teleported to another world filled with resounding energies. The way they move together and every step they take were like a fairytale to her. 

She had never seen any dance so perfect and graceful as this they were displaying. The way they glide across the dance floor was like poetry in motion. She felt her heart surge with the urge, a desire to replace Lin Lan and be caught up in the magic of the moment.

Just as she was immersed in her thought, she felt a light tap on her hand. She was forced out of her thought, only to see Qing'er standing in front of her with her hands on her waist.

"What?" She asked.

"Don't tell you're still admiring that trash when there are a lot of capable boys in the hall ready to dance with you," Qing'er asked with a complicated look on her face.

Lu Ning moves backward a little then look at the eyes of Qing'er for a brief moment, "When did you start to tell me what to do? Why don't you go and make yourself available for the boys?" Lu Ning fired at her.

"Why will I go to other boys when my Lu Yuan is available? I only came here out of goodwill but seems like am not needed here" Qing'er turned back about to leave when the statement of Lu Ning made her halt in her step.

"Oh, you mean Lu Yuan who doesn't even know whether you're admiring from behind. Better go take your time and cultivate to become powerful or is a bad to be stronger than him?" "Wasting time to think about someone who doesn't even have you at heart," Lu Ning said before walking off.

Qing'er stood for a few seconds before she too also walk away.
