Chapter 70 - The Ball Pt. 1 (1/2)

”Attention all passengers. Attention all passengers.” The ship's broadcast system was loud and clear.

”Welcome aboard the SLS Seafarer. Tonight, we will be having a grand reception to welcome everyone. Please attend in formal attire. We'll be hosting some friendship exercises and interesting games to foster good relations between our two continents. We invite everyone to attend.”

Huang Yu raised an eyebrow as the loud broadcast entered his ears. 'Friendship exercises? And with formal attire? But I didn't bring any...'

This was the first time Huang Yu was at a loss for something. Inside his spatial ring, he usually had tons of random stuff that came in handy sometimes. However, a suit and tie were not part of them.

Maybe he could go cajole a suit and tie from Romario later. Oh wait, it wouldn't be cajoling if Romario would willingly give it him though wouldn't it?

A sudden knock on his door caused Huang Yu to look in that direction. He swiftly made to open the door to be met with Gu Yue who seemed to be fine now.

”Did you hear the broadcast?” she asked.

”Yeah. It seems pretty interesting from the sound of it.”

After saying this, Huang Yu saw Gu Yue hesitating for a brief moment before she spoke again. ”We'll go together okay?”

”Sure, I wasn't planning on going with anyone else anyways. I'll pick you up around 7?”

”That's fine.”

After this, Gu Yue smiled. She was about to leave, but she suddenly stopped. ”Wait, do you have any formal attire?”

Oh shit. Busted.

”Err, I have a pair of jeans and a collared shirt. Does that count?”

The side of Gu Yue's lips curled up as humour entered her eyes. ”And here I thought that you had everything inside that spatial ring of yours.”

”Hey, I only bring stuff that I find useful okay.”

”So those chains inside your spatial ring were useful?”

”I used them to tie up those mechas.”

”Fair enough. Then what about that brick?”

”It's a weapon of mass destruction. Even the heavens and the earth fear this supreme artifact y'know. The blood of gods and devils alike have stained the brick, hence it's reddish colour!”

Gu Yue chuckled hearing this before a set of clothes appeared in her hands in a flash of light.

”Are these formal clothes?” Huang Yu asked curiously.

Gu Yue raised an eyebrow. ”What gave that away? Was it the tie?”

A wry smile appeared on Huang Yu's lips. Gu Yue's sass was getting stronger over time. Sometimes he wondered if he was the cause of this.

”So… where did you get these?”
