Chapter 23 Can I Dance With You?


    After a while, Kallen finally calmed down.


    At this moment, she suddenly made an invitation that shocked everyone present.


    “Fang Ping, thank you for bringing me such a good story. In return, can I ask you to dance with me?”


    Kallen looked at Fang Ping with a burning gaze. Other than Fang Ping’s gratitude, there seemed to be some other emotions in the depths of her eyes.


    Fang Ping was her savior to begin with. The two of them could be considered old friends.


    Moreover, Fang Ping had displayed such talent at this moment.


    Although the two of them belonged to different races. Kallen’s feelings for Fang Ping had already begun to gradually surpass the boundary of friendship!


    Moreover, love existed between the different


    races in this world. It was just that this kind of


    love was relatively rare.


    “Heavens, could I have heard wrongly?


    Princess Kallen invited that guy to dance again,


    and that guy is a skeleton?”


    “Wuwu, I’m really useless. I can’t even


    compare to a skeleton!”


    “It’s as if she’s a flower stuck in cow dung.


    Why did Princess Kallen make such a decision? My heart aches!”


    Compared to the regret of ordinary people,


    Leon, who had just been rejected by Kallen in


    public, was completely crazy.


    Kallen’s actions were no different from a


    ruthless slap to his face.


    After rejecting him, she invited some skeleton to dance?


    His eyes were red and filled with anger. The chair handle in his hand had already been completely shattered by him.


    “Damn woman, you pretended to be innocent in front of me just now. Now, you’re taking the initiative to invite a skeleton to dance. Hehe, very good!”


    At this moment, a lackey beside Leon leaned forward and whispered something in his ear. Leon gradually revealed a sinister smile and nodded gently.


    “Alright, I’ll leave this matter to you. Don’t disappoint me!”


    The lackey smiled.


    “Hehe, it’s just a skeleton. It’s nothing. It’s my duty to help Young Master Leon!”


    On the other hand, Fang Ping naturally would not reject Kallen’s invitation.


    He could sense Kallen’s sincerity towards him and was afraid of hurting her feelings.


    A dance song began. At some point, the people who were originally dancing on the dance floor had already stopped.


    Their gazes landed on Fang Ping and Kallen in


    the middle of the dance floor.


    Some were envious, some were jealous, and


    some were puzzled.


    Moreover, Fang Ping’s dance steps were very


    unfamiliar. It was obvious that he did not


    attend gatherings often.


    However, Kallen did not despise Fang Ping for being inexperienced. Instead, she kept guiding Fang Ping to keep up with her rhythm.


    The two of them gradually forgot about it and enjoyed dancing together.


    In the distance, Manstein looked at the two of


    them dancing and revealed a gratified expression. At some point, his eyes were already filled with the happiness of a


    father-in-law.


    Although Fang Ping was from the Skeleton


    Race, if his daughter could be with Fang Ping in


    the future, he could die without regrets.


    When the song finally ended, Kallen was still somewhat unsatisfied and wanted to invite


    Fang Ping to dance again.


    However, Fang Ping had rejected him this time.


    “Forget it. I’m still not very familiar with


    dancing. I’m afraid I’ll hurt your feet if we


    dance again.


    “In any case, there’s still a lot of time. We can


    do it another day, right?”


    Hearing Fang Ping’s words, Kallen was


    overjoyed.


    Especially when Fang Ping said that there was


    still a lot of time, the young girl immediately began to imagine.


    She imagined what might happen to her and


    Fang Ping in the future. The more she thought about it, the more she looked forward to it. Her heart was filled with happiness.


    Because Kallen and Fang Ping had only met by chance at the ball, the two of them did not stay together forever.


    After eating something casually and chatting for a while, Fang Ping returned to Manstein’s


    side. He suddenly realized that Manstein seemed to


    be somewhat tired, so he asked with concern,


    “If you’re tired, we can go back now. How


    about that?”


    Manstein’s expression was slightly abnormal,


    as if he was too tired.


    He nodded gently.


    “Yes, let’s go back. I’m already very satisfied


    with today’s gains. Haha, thank you, Fang


    Ping!”


    The two of them left the ball together and returned to the castle in Manstein.


    Just as the two of them left, Leon kept staring


    at their backs.


    Then, there was one less person beside Leon. It


    was the lackey who had taken the initiative to volunteer to help him just now. After returning to the castle, Manstein bade


    Fang Ping a simple farewell and returned to his


    room to rest.


    Fang Ping also prepared to return to the Imperial City. However, on the way back, Fang Ping kept thinking of the expression on Manstein’s face when they returned. He kept feeling that something was wrong with


    Manstein, but he could not tell what was


    wrong.


    The uneasiness in his heart became more and


    more intense, producing an ominous feeling.


    Finally, Fang Ping could not suppress the curiosity and desire in his heart and immediately returned to Manstein Castle.


    After returning, Fang Ping did not say anything


    and directly headed to Manstein’s bedroom. The butler could not stop him at all.


    After opening the bedroom door, Fang Ping’s body instantly froze at the door.


    He stared at the bed in the room. A bulging


    figure on the bed was none other than Manstein.


    He seemed to have already fallen asleep. “Mr. Fang Ping, Count Manstein has already fallen asleep. It’s best not to disturb him.”


    The butler, who had just caught up, persuaded Fang Ping earnestly.


    Manstein had long instructed the butler to let


    Fang Ping enter and leave the castle at will, so


    the butler was not qualified to order Fang Ping around.


    However, Fang Ping did not listen to the butler’s persuasion.


    Instead, he said with a solemn tone, “Something’s wrong. I want to go in and take a


    look.”


    “But…”


    “Don’t worry, if Manstein is angry, he won’t blame you.’


    The butler stood helplessly and waited. Fang Ping arrived in front of the bed and lifted


    the curtain. He placed his hand in front of Manstein’s nose.


    The other party was not breathing. Fang Ping finally understood what the ominous


    feeling in his heart was. Moreover, he did not understand. He had


    clearly already given Manstein the royal sacred medicine.


    The other party’s body had indeed recovered. Why had it become like this now?


    In fact, when the two of them had just returned


    from that gathering not long ago, Manstein’s complexion was clearly normal.


    At this moment, there seemed to be only one reason for this phenomenon!


    Perhaps Manstein’s body had already entered a


    state of exhaustion after being severely injured on the battlefield.


    The royal sacred medicine could only save him for a while, but it could not save him forever.


    For Manstein’s life to last for so many days, it was already a miracle. Moreover, with the help of the royal sacred medicine, he was able to maintain his life.


    Now that his body’s potential had finally been


    exhausted, coupled with the fact that he had seen his daughter again, he had resolved the


    last trace of obsession in his heart. Finally, the string of his life completely


    snapped and he died.
