Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

Chapter 916 Let's Dance

The ominous premonition came true perfectly, and Funina had a "I'm doomed!" expression on her face.

The Ice Wind Suite is a gift from the Fontainebleau Academy of Sciences, featuring Fontainebleau's most magnificent and artistically inspired clockwork mechanism.

"Gentleman" Copelios and "Lady" Gopelia, this pair of mechanical dancers usually dance elegantly together in the marble ballroom near the opera house, but they are actually terrifying combat machines!

So why would she want to learn ballroom dancing from a combat unit?! What's wrong with Sue's thought process...?

Forget it, now is not the time to think about unsolvable problems!

She was genuinely afraid that Su might pull out a shell-carved fan and unleash a barrage of wind blades at the guests, just like Ge Peilia did!

Although she has an unreliable personality, Su is actually quite reliable. She wrapped her arm around Funina's waist and swayed gently, "Snap out of it."

When Funina came to her senses, she was surprised to find... "You actually danced really well?!"

“Of course, I’m a genius!” Su Chong smiled brightly at her. “The Ice Wind Suite is just one of the references. I’ve also watched human dancers perform dances.”

Besides the Ice Wind Suite, she also watched human dancers perform ballroom dances. The human teachers were invited by the young man in charge of inspecting and maintaining the Ice Wind Suite.

"How can you learn to dance from the Ice Wind Suite? At least Copelios has two legs, but Gopelia only has one cone. The 'teachers' who demonstrate the dance don't have feet, so you have to watch humans dance!"

"Come, come! These two friends of mine are renowned dance artists in Fontainebleau! Please, please go with them! If you keep dancing like this, the Ice Wind Suite is going to completely fall apart, waaaaah..."

Sue: "That's what he said."

Funina chuckled dryly, "It seems the Icewind Suite and its maintenance staff have been under a lot of pressure..."

That young man's name is... Mayard, right? Thank you! She'll remember to help him apply for repair fees and his work bonus.

Funina felt half relieved, but the other half still didn't dare to land. "You're too strong, don't throw me around! I really don't want to be spinning in mid-air!"

Sue: "Then, Funina, you can..."

Funina quickly anticipated this and said, "I can't! I can't lift you!"

Su pouted and handed over the dance leadership to Funina, gliding and spinning along with her steps.

Funina and Sue danced for a while longer before realizing that there was no one else on the dance floor besides them.

The guests at the banquet all stood outside the dance floor, smiling and watching, and no one stepped onto the dance floor.

The reason...

Funina tried hard to suppress her laughter, "I really didn't expect the tulle on this outfit to be so fierce when it whips around a person!"

As they danced, the gauze wings on their Su-style dresses fluttered in the air.

Those two seemingly gentle and flowing pieces of gauze could actually make a rustling sound when they were drawn into the air.

No one dared to step onto the dance floor after hearing such a commotion, fearing they would be whipped into a pulp if they didn't dodge in time.

Su declared domineeringly, "Because this is your first dance with me, I don't want anyone else getting in the way."

The messy dance she did when she was in cat form a few days ago, dragged around by Funina, doesn't count!

“Hahaha, great!” Funina laughed heartily. “This outfit really suits you.”

Funina and Sue began to discuss the origin of this outfit—

Before her birth, Fukaros, who was unsure of her gender, prepared two sets of dresses, one for men and one for women.

Su looked at her own imperial dress, then at Funina's gown, and asked, "So, you're actually wearing men's clothing?"

Funina nodded. "Yes." The clothes she was wearing were indeed men's clothing; Fontaine's men's clothing could be extremely gorgeous.

As for why she chose the men's clothing...

"Because the people of Fontainebleau at that time needed a stronger king, and this imperial dress was too gentle for me."

But she really never expected that Su could make this goddess-style outfit look so fierce, hahaha!

Funina: "I really love your unexpectedness and contrast."

Su Hei said, "You Fontainebleau people still love drama so much."

Even though they were reluctant to part, their dance came to an end.

The exchange of dance partners was completed as a new waltz began to play.

Su Weiwei looked up at Navelette and said, "I didn't expect Navelette to know how to ballroom dance."

Not only did Navelette know how, but he was extremely good at it. In order to integrate into Fontainebleau society, he learned many things, and ballroom dancing was one of them.

Villette stepped back gracefully, positioning his arm at just the right height for Sue, and then led her to spin with him.

The flowing skirt gradually swirls from gentle ripples into surging waves, and the gemstones on Su's crown resemble splashing water droplets, refracting brilliant light under the lamplight.

In the shifting light and shadow, Navelette said, "The thanks I promised you are ready. I'll be waiting for you at Starry Reef after the banquet."

The girl's eyes sparkled as she said she was looking forward to it, which made Violet give a faint but gentle smile.

As the song ended, Funina's dance partner had changed from Kong to Paimon, while Sue had her hand held by Leosley.

“Wow,” Sue raised an eyebrow at Leosley’s tuxedo, “I thought you were a…suit-wearing thug before, but I didn’t expect you to be able to pull off a powerful look even in a tuxedo.”

Leosley raised an eyebrow. "I'll take that as a compliment and humbly accept it. Shall we jump a little more 'powerfully'?"

Sue: "Of course!"

The two, having reached a consensus, turned their duet into a competition.

The two dancers, vying for dominance, created an aggressive trail in the dance floor, causing those around them to involuntarily step back to give them space for their "battle."

The forward step resembles an attack, the sliding step becomes an evasion, and even the rhythm sounds powerful and resounding.

She took a step toward him with the force of a bayonet, yet precisely avoided his vulnerable toes.

He created a thrilling plunge for her, then pulled her back into his arms just before she hit the ground.

The moment their eyes met, Leosley put his arm around Sue's waist and easily lifted her up with one arm before tossing her away.

The girl's skirt fluttered in mid-air, then spun around after landing, only to be pulled back by the hand and crash into the young man's chest.

As the song ended, Leosley transformed from a "thug" back into a "gentleman," releasing the girl from his embrace and handing her hand to Sora, who had been waiting for several dances.

"When you have some free time, remember to come visit me in Melo Petersburg, okay? And while you're at it, pick up the Travelers' Team's release notice."

Sora then remembered that although their traveler team had secretly accepted Leosley's mission, they were actually in a state of prison break.

"……it is good."

The music at the banquet continued, and Su and Kong began to dance together.

"You look so beautiful tonight!" Su Zhen sincerely complimented.

"...Thank you," Kong said helplessly after a two-second pause.

Paimon, who was secretly watching from a distance, was speechless. "Ugh... I feel like they should switch their lines."

He glanced up at the girl dancing with him, then quickly lowered his eyelashes again.

The next second, he felt his hand loosen and a weight on his shoulder. It was the girl releasing his hand, wrapping her arms around his neck, and leaning against his shoulder.

"I never imagined that dancing would be such a physically demanding activity," Su said with a sly smile, half-hanging on Kong's body. "Kong, you can lead me in the dance, I'll leave it all to you!"

The close proximity made Kong's heartbeat so loud that he could barely hear the music. He struggled to pull his gaze away from the girl's face and embraced her as they danced slowly.

Watching the two of them swaying slowly together on the dance floor, Paimon nodded with satisfaction. "It's good that they have their own rhythm."

Sue's last dance was with Paimon.

After the two girls twirled hand in hand on the dance floor for a whole song, Sue finally let the dizzy Paimon go back to continue enjoying the special dinner.
