“Is this really me? Can I actually dance like this?”
At the train station, looking at himself on the screen, Lu Ming Fei opened his mouth slightly.
It was evident that he was like a puppet, completely at Zero's disposal.
However, for Lu Ming Fei, whose body was stiff, being able to dance was simply unbelievable!
“Little brother, what do you think of this Zero? Maybe she's fallen for you!”
Fingel suddenly leaned over, speaking in a lewd tone.
“I suspect she has a mission to get close to me, like the female spies in TV dramas with special skills!”
Lu Ming Fei shook his head, denying this.
“That's where you're wrong! Why is Zero called the Vacuum Queen? It's because she doesn't like to be around others, and her presence feels as cold as a vacuum!”
“Now, this young lady is not only taking the initiative to approach you, rescuing you, but she also invited you to be her dance partner!”
“Come on! If that isn't a sign of liking you, what is it?”
Fingel stroked his chin, speaking in a heartfelt tone.
The message couldn't be clearer, seize the opportunity!
Don't miss this chance!
Lu Ming Fei nodded, glancing at Fingel.
“Alright! Next time, I'll boldly ask this cold goddess Zero to go to the dance with me!”
“As for you, senior, good luck!”
Fingel's entire face turned pale, and he yelled angrily:
“Damn it! Little brother!”
“You're leaving me, a lonely old man, in the dorm? Are you even human?”
........................
“Tango...what kind of dance is this? Ballet?”
“This girl is quite pretty! I think she's a good match for Ming Fei!”
In Lu Ming Fei's aunt's house, his aunt was looking at Zero with curiosity.
She couldn't believe that Lu Ming Fei had met such a beautiful girl right after entering the academy!
“Hey, don't talk nonsense, she's just a classmate.”
“To think Ming Fei can keep up with the rhythm, hmm, he has a talent for dance!”
His uncle touched the Nokia phone that came with the admission letter, looking astonished.
The life he saw on TV was completely different from this real aristocratic life!
This is... the so-called high society?
His cousin Lu Ming Ze blinked, his eyes filled with envy and jealousy.
It was impossible not to be jealous of Lu Ming Fei.
But thinking about Lu Ming Fei having to confront these dangerous dragons, that jealousy was nothing compared to that!
After all, they were family, bound by blood.
Being able to experience a world-class institution like the Kassel Academy, his cousin Lu Ming Ze felt lucky.
There was also this mysterious world, detached from the mortal realm.
...........................
The video continued playing!
Lu Ming Fei felt like he was just a puppet.
Even without him as her dance partner, Zero could still captivate the entire audience.
Lu Ming Fei followed Zero's instructions, moving his arms and legs to the rhythm, completely controlled by her.
Putting Lu Ming Fei aside, Zero was actually performing a solo dance.
Lu Ming Fei's movements and the tango music he accompanied were improvised by Zero based on Lu Ming Fei's performance at the moment.
“Hello... what’s your name?”
After a while, Lu Ming Fei asked in a trembling voice.
“Zero.”
“When dancing this dance, you need to feel like you are the king of the world.”
“This is a noble tune, one that looks down upon everything.”
Zero's tone was flat.
Lu Ming Fei quickly nodded, not daring to look into Zero's eyes.
Could it be that Zero saw his awkwardness and decided to help?
“Why did you choose me?”
Lu Ming Fei looked at Zero, who was dancing gracefully, and asked.
“I enjoy dancing, that’s it, nothing else.”
Lu Ming Fei was stunned.
“But you could have chosen someone else as your dance partner! Like Fingel!”
In Lu Ming Fei's eyes, Zero's reasoning was flimsy.
Just because she enjoys dancing?
Zero’s previous appearance had drawn the attention of everyone in the hall.
This was clearly to show off for him.
“Fingel is too tall, we wouldn't be a good height match.”
Zero said calmly.
She was even shorter than Lu Ming Fei, looking like a little lolita, barely fourteen years old.
Obviously, Zero couldn't coordinate with the 6'2" Fingel.
“At the end of the song, I will spin 3600 degrees, hold onto my waist, or I’ll fall!”
Zero commanded with a regal presence, like a queen of ice and snow.
As the violin melody played, nearing its end, Zero placed her hand in Lu Ming Fei's palm and spun three times in place.
Her skirt fluttered, the silver light on her heels sparkled, and all the light focused on Zero.
Her form was as graceful as a startled swallow, as elegant as a dancing dragon, as brilliant as autumn chrysanthemums, as flourishing as spring pines.
Lu Ming Fei finally understood why the “Rhapsody of the Goddess” used such descriptions to praise a woman's graceful dance.
It was obvious that Zero's final spin at the end of the song was a gamble, she was risking something.
Zero's reputation.
Lu Ming Fei's reputation.
This perfect coordination gave all the highlights to her partner.
Only if the partner completed the final finishing touch could this tango be considered perfect.
Lu Ming Fei was completely focused, not even daring to breathe.
Finally, when Zero released her body, leaning towards Lu Ming Fei, Lu Ming Fei grabbed Zero’s delicate hand.
The music ended, the dance finished.
Applause erupted throughout the hall, deafening.
They had all witnessed a breathtaking performance.
Zero was the true Tango Queen!
At this moment, Zero gathered her skirt and bowed slightly to Lu Ming Fei in gratitude.
This was the standard ending gesture for court dances.
According to proper etiquette, Lu Ming Fei should return the courtesy with the same gesture at this time.
“Wait, what's the court dance gesture for returning the courtesy?”
“Kiss her hand? That's too abrupt!”
“Or should I bow ninety degrees? No! I'm not Japanese!”
Lu Ming Fei’s brain short-circuited!
In the end, the flustered Lu Ming Fei blurted out a ridiculous phrase.
“Rise, my dear, rise, please… rise.”
However, his words were drowned out by the thunderous applause.
Only Zero and he could hear it.
Zero frowned, looked at Lu Ming Fei, and turned to leave.
She had entered with a sharp, forceful dance, like a blade, and now she left as calm as water, departing without a word.
“These new students are interesting.”
Caesar sat on the second floor, looking down at Lu Ming Fei, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Clearly, he had heard those words.
He watched as Zero disappeared into the darkness.
The video footage also faded to black.

.................................
Seeing Lu Ming Fei fail again at a crucial moment, the audience were all exasperated.
This beautiful girl Zero took the initiative to rescue him!
And you actually managed to drive her away?
Isabelle: “Lu Ming Fei, you’re really too funny! Can’t you be serious for once?!”
Lancelot: “Zero never interacts with strangers, she took the initiative to approach you, and you drove her away?!”
Su-sie: “Yeah! Not elegant at all! What a shame!”
Caesar: “Lu Ming Fei, I suggest you join my student council, the Lionheart Society won’t teach you aristocratic etiquette!”
Chu Zihang: “Because those intricate etiquettes are meaningless.”
Nono: “Life is like a dance, the one who taught you the first steps may not be the one who stays with you until the end.”
Nono: “My dear Riccardo, Zero’s giving you a chance, you have to seize it!”
Chi Lan: “Yeah, the order of appearance in life is important, Zero is in every way above Chen Wen Wen, if you like her, go confess!”
Lu Ming Fei: “I… I don’t even know Zero!”
Fingel: “Not knowing her doesn’t mean you can’t create opportunities? Start from scratch, get to know her!”
Giovanni: “I think this girl is pretty good, Ming Fei, go chase her! Mom supports you!”
.................................
As everyone was still discussing Lu Ming Fei’s low EQ behavior, a new scene appeared on the screen.
[Dragon Bloodline Encyclopedia, Episode Five, Kassel’s Sleepless Night, Part Two, Dragon Invasion!]
[Main Characters: Lu Ming Fei, Old Tang!]
[Location: Kassel Academy!]
[Keywords: Dragon Invasion!]
[Video footage about to play…]
At the seaside villa, seeing this scene, Chu Jie Ma Yi smiled faintly.
As expected, this operation was orchestrated by her.
The core purpose was simple: to lure out the real Bronze and Fire King, Norton.
They, like Angers, were dragon slayers.
This move was to pave the way for Lu Ming Fei.
“Zero, your cooperation was good, a lot of people think you were driven away by Lu Ming Fei.”
“Your acting needs improvement, Emotionless Girl.”
Su En Xi munched on potato chips, smiling mischievously at Zero.
According to the plan, Zero should have exited the ballroom at this moment to meet with them.
That’s right! Zero was their mole planted in the Kassel Academy.
Zero’s expression remained unchanged as she nodded, “Understood, I will pay attention.”
“Brother, it's time to awaken the power that belongs to you.”
“Take a good look... this is your destiny!”
The little devil Lu Ming Ze watched the video screen, his gaze gradually turning cold.
