Colonial Suit

Night fell…

The sunlight on Camille Star disappeared.

The light tunnels from the sea surface closed one by one, followed by countless lights illuminating all parts of Crystal City, making the entire city appear crystal clear, like a flawless gem.

Through the dome of Crystal City, countless marine creatures could be seen swimming around it, clearly attracted by its lights, including even giant jellyfish and rare heavy-shelled giant crabs.

This was Crystal City's most beautiful moment, and also its busiest.

In a suite at the Camille Royal Hotel, Blood瞳 had just taken a shower. A set of evening dress, just delivered by a waiter, was laid on the outer bed. Through the coral windows, the lively scene outside could be seen. Many tourists had come out and were participating in various activities led by mermaid maids. On the rainbow bridge below, many children were playing.

Those who have not experienced it firsthand will never understand the beauty of this place. It is an underwater paradise, a dreamlike haven full of imagination.

However, Blood瞳's expression remained calm. After showering, he meticulously dried the water droplets from his skin with a towel before walking naked into the outer room.

Under the bright lights, his body was covered with scars, looking as if it was patched with countless pieces. Strangely, the usually self-healing colony armor had not repaired these scars, giving Blood瞳's body a fierce appearance, like a cheetah ready to pounce.

Scars, a man's badge of honor…

Blood瞳 didn't know where he had heard that saying. Although it wasn't intentional, he had unknowingly become a practitioner of it.

After a short rest, Blood瞳's condition returned to its peak. He felt full of vitality, with every inch of his muscles containing volcanic power. Whip-like tendons pulsed throughout his body as he moved, giving a sense of astonishing strength.

Picking up the evening dress from the bed, Blood瞳 carefully put it on. This was his first time wearing such formal attire, so he felt awkward. His movements were slow and meticulous, smoothing out any wrinkles after dressing.

Opening the door, Robbie had been waiting for a long time. He was also wearing an evening dress provided by the hotel, which, combined with his unique temperament and handsome appearance, made him stand out even more. If there were any girls here, they would surely scream with excitement.

Robbie held a glass of red wine in his hand, which he had just taken from a passing waiter's cart. He leaned against the wall of the corridor with a charming smile on his face.

“You're too slow.”

“You know, this dress is difficult to put on,” Blood瞳 replied expressionlessly, then snatched the red wine from Robbie's hand and drank it in one gulp.

“Robbie, this is the first time I've seen you not wearing a priest's robe.”

“Handsome, isn’t it?”

“Silly.”

“…………, Blood瞳, you know what? I never leave my gun.”

“Of course, that's why I'm so close to you.”

They looked at each other for a while, both revealing faint smiles. Just then, the door next door opened, and the Gemini siblings and Pandora came out.

Pandora was still in her maid outfit, while the Gemini siblings had dressed up carefully. The older sister, Mia, wore a brand-new princess dress, while the younger brother, Bo Xi, had changed into a purple swallowtail coat, looking very energetic. Behind the two little ones hid a dodging figure. A closer look revealed it was Lie Ya. Only now, someone had tied a big bow on its head, making it incredibly cute and devoid of the domineering aura of the Nether豹 king.

Lie Ya probably knew that its current appearance was embarrassing, so it hid behind little Bo Xi, not daring to come out. Little Bo Xi finally found it too wretched and dragged it out by the ear.

“Listen carefully, if you want to keep eating vanilla ice cream, behave yourself. If you're not good, you won't get any of tonight's Haiduo ice cream mountain…” Little Bo Xi threatened, whispering in Lie Ya's ear.

“Awoo…” Lie Ya painfully closed its eyes and covered its face with its two front paws.

Everyone laughed at Lie Ya's pitiful appearance. Just then, the flyer that Avril had sent to pick up Blood瞳 arrived. Led by an old merman, the group boarded the flyer and headed towards the banquet venue.

The banquet venue was somewhat surprising, not an ordinary hotel but a huge and magnificent palace. After the old merman's introduction, everyone learned that this was actually the palace of Camille Star's supreme ruler, Sea King Eric!

Avril was really a mermaid princess?

Blood瞳 and the others were all confused, never expecting Avril's identity to be so noble. Although they knew before that some people called Avril princess, they thought it was a term of endearment. Now they knew that Avril was a genuine princess, said to be Sea King Eric's most beloved daughter.

My God, this is crazy…

The flyer sped through the streets and soon arrived at the northern district of Crystal City.

This was the most prestigious area of the entire Crystal City, occupied by nobles and wealthy people. It was a well-known high society on Camille Star. In this area, any pedestrian could be the president of a large company, or a minister. If you didn't have enough wealth, you couldn't even enter.

And in this vast area, the most eye-catching was a magnificent and majestic palace. It was a huge palace covering hundreds of kilometers. The entire palace was built of milky white bricks and stones, adorned with countless lights, looking incomparably luxurious. The parking lot in front of the palace was already full of flyers, and countless people were entering the banquet hall led by palace attendants.

This was Sea King Eric's birthday celebration banquet for his youngest daughter. It almost gathered the attention of the entire Crystal City. And it was said that this banquet had another important meaning, that Sea King wanted to use this platform to gather the elite men of Camille and let his most beloved youngest daughter choose.

In other words, this was an unwritten matchmaking banquet. All the young men attending this banquet could become Princess Avril's dance partner, or even spouse.

This was too shocking… You know, although Princess Avril was only eighteen years old, she had become the dream lover of all men on Camille Star because of her stunning beauty and perfect temperament. Anyone who had seen Princess Avril's image would be captivated by her. So the announcement of this banquet almost detonated the entire Crystal City.

However, it was not so easy to enter this banquet. Not to mention the strict identity gap, you also needed an invitation personally issued by the royal family or the princess. And although the Sea King sent out a large number of invitations, Princess Avril's invitations did not exceed ten, making them extremely rare throughout Camille Star.

Getting off the flyer, a well-trained palace attendant came forward. When Blood瞳 handed over the invitation that Avril had given him, he saw the other party's surprise and shock.

The latest novel is first published on 69书吧!

Obviously, he didn't expect to see an invitation personally issued by Princess Avril here. But he knew the meaning of this invitation. This was one of only ten invitations on the entire Camille Star. He didn't know how many young talents were honored to receive such an invitation.

So he immediately changed to a respectful attitude and carefully asked, “May I ask who you are…”

“My name is Blood瞳, these are my companions,” Blood瞳 replied simply.

“It's Lord Blood瞳, please follow me.” The attendant immediately remembered the name, then led Blood瞳 through the crowd and into the venue.

Along the way, they received a lot of attention. Because Blood瞳 and the others were too ordinary, and compared to the many young talents present today, they had no outstanding features. But they were led into the venue by the palace attendant alone, which immediately caused a burst of discussion. Especially a few young people dressed like peacocks showing off their tails, their eyes were burning with jealousy.

“Who exactly are these guys, how could the chief attendant personally lead the way?”

“Who knows, they don't look like much.”

“Look, they even brought pets to such an important banquet. What a bunch of bumpkins.”

For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the crowd, but Blood瞳 and the others remained calm. They were all warriors who had experienced countless battles. This kind of scene was too childish. And in terms of identity alone, Blood瞳 and the others were not much worse than the nobles present. Universe mercenaries automatically have the citizenship of the fifth to seventh worlds. And although those present were all elites of Camille, it was extremely difficult to obtain the citizenship of the fifth world. From this point of view, Blood瞳's status might be higher than theirs.

But he didn't expect that the appearance of the next two figures would make him the focus of everyone's attention.

They were two young and graceful figures.

“Blood瞳!?”

A surprised voice came from the entrance of the hall. Immediately, people saw two young girls running out. One with purple hair and one with red hair, they were Avril and her older sister, Melia.

There was no doubt that the two girls attracted everyone's attention. Many young talents even took a few steps forward, trying to attract the attention of the two princesses. But none of them expected that these two most distinguished princesses of Camille Star would not only ignore them, but instead run directly to Blood瞳 and the others, treating them like air.

“You're finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time,” Avril said softly, her eyes somewhat resentful.

And Melia was even more direct. She stood directly in front of Blood瞳, sticking out her towering chest.

“Hey, Mr. Blood瞳. Do you remember what I told you before? You can ask me for a date anytime… Today is a good day, will you be my dance partner?”

“Or, will you be Avril's dance partner?”

For a moment, the whole place was in an uproar…
