Perfume Alchemist

Chapter 103 Exchanging Partners
Wen De found a small living room where no one was there, and guided Ah Hao.Before starting, Ahao put the perfume he carried with him in the cabinet.

"Today's dance is mainly a waltz, but it's actually quite simple. It's just a circle. You watch me dance first."

Wen De demonstrated it again, and Ahao followed his footsteps to learn clumsily.

"Turn left, turn right, lift, swing!"

Ahao learned it with difficulty under Wen De's guidance.

"Okay, okay. It's almost enough. No way, I can't dance women's steps, so I can't match you. You can watch how others dance later."

"It's obviously not simple at all!"

Ahao said to Wende out of breath.

"Forget it, you just need to remember to turn in circles. I am really, why teach you according to the method of a dance teacher."

Wind hammered his head.

"Hurry up, Julie is probably going to scold me to death."

"Julie, is she here too?" Ah Hao said in surprise.

"Well, I invited her. Don't keep her waiting."

Wen De brought Ahao to a spacious indoor space.

One of the biggest features here is that it is extremely long.

On the wall opposite the room, there were three doors that opened.

This is sort of a preparation room.

Many women in luxurious and fluffy dresses are gathering together and talking.

Their colorful clothes are completely different from the all-black outfits of the men gathered in the corner.

Ah Hao noticed that most of them wore exaggerated and impractical masks on their faces.

Most of the masks are mainly purely decorative, and basically cannot conceal their identity.

Many people just held up a pair of metal blindfolds, symbolically buckling the theme of "Masquerade Ball".

"Julie!"

Wende uttered excitedly, and walked to one of the tall, long-legged women.

Although through a black hollow mask, Ah Hao could still recognize that it was Julie.

Julie was wearing a white gold-embellished dress, which looked more elegant overall.

"You are finally here. Does it take so long to welcome guests?"

Julie smiled helplessly at Wende, and then bowed cautiously to Ahao.

"Hi, I'm Julie, may I ask who you are?"

"You can call me [Sage]."

Julie didn't recognize Ah Hao's identity at all.The white wooden mask on his head completely covered him.

Wende snickered beside him, pretending to be unfamiliar with him.

"Hi." Julie greeted politely.

At this moment, a heavy bell rang.

"clang!"

At the second sound, the door behind Ah Hao opened.

Xi Zi, who was wearing a simple white dress, rushed in staggeringly.

She wore a pair of rough-edged cloth eyepatch that looked as if it had just been cut.But in terms of format, it's pretty good.

"Have I caught up?"

"The time is just right, get ready to enter!"

Wende shouted the last sentence to Ahao.

As early as the first chime of the bell, there was commotion in the preparation hall.

Gentlemen and ladies were paired one by one and lined up behind three gates.

The ladies are standing on the left, elegantly holding the arms of the gentleman on the right.

Wende and Julie were at the front of the line early.

Ah Hao followed suit and extended his hand to Xi Zi.

Xi Zi grabbed his arm nervously.The two are at the back of the line.

Ahao could feel Xizi's body trembling slightly.She seemed more nervous than herself.

"Don't be nervous. Just have a dance." Ahao began to comfort Xi Zi.

Xi Zi's trembling gradually stopped.

"I'm fine, Mr. Sage."

When the bell rang to the seventh, the three doors in front of Ah Hao were opened by the attendants behind the doors.

The sound of the symphony behind the door poured out.

Everyone filed in amidst the music and walked into the door.

Ah Hao was held by Xi Zi, walked into the door, and he found that this was a huge ballroom.

There are doors on all sides of the room.The place where he came in was only on the south side of the ballroom.

In the sound of music, the crowd spun gracefully onto the dance floor.

He followed suit and slid onto the dance floor with Shizzy.

"Welcome everyone to Northam Manor. It's a great honor to see many new friends here today."

Ahao saw Northon's father, Mr. Eli standing on a high platform.

Behind him is a whole orchestra dressed in fine clothes.

"Today's first dance is the waltz. I hope everyone can join in. I know that many of you here may not be able to dance the waltz."

Before Ah Hao was surprised, he heard many people agreeing.

Many Elaks in simple robes nodded repeatedly.

Even Xi Zi beside her nodded quickly.

It turned out that he was not the only rookie present.

Realizing this, Ah Hao immediately felt at ease.

The chickens are just pecking at each other, don't panic.

What's more, Wen De was still giving him a small stove in the small room just now.

With this in-depth exchange, maybe he is considered a high-ranking person in this scene?

"No, it doesn't matter, I'll teach you how to dance with short passwords here. Besides, everyone is wearing a mask anyway, so you don't have to worry about losing face, right?"

Many people present burst into laughter.

"My only request is!"

Mr. Eli's tone suddenly became serious.

"Please stop stepping on the feet of your partner, I'm here to thank you for your partner!"

Mr. Eli's tone suddenly became funny.

His up and down tone firmly grasped the hearts of everyone present.

"Hahaha."

"Mr. Eli is still funny."

"I have to say that a humorous man is really attractive."

The originally quiet dance hall instantly became lively.Wende's father is quite good at adjusting the atmosphere.

With his opening, the atmosphere in the ballroom also became relaxed and cheerful.

"Then let the dance begin!"

In this cheerful atmosphere, brisk dance music came from behind Mr. Eli.

"Turn left! Take half a step back! Girls turn in circles! Everyone, turn left for half a turn, and then half a turn!"

Under the command of Mr. Eli, Ahao easily pulled Xizi to dance the waltz.

He found that as long as he moves according to the rhythm of the music, everything is not difficult.

Especially for this dance, you don't need to move your upper body, you just need to hold Xi Zi's hand.Then just focus on the steps below.

In comparison, Xizi who was opposite him was much clumsier.

He was stepped on by her from time to time.

"sorry Sorry!"

Every time she stepped on her foot, Xi Zi would apologize nervously.

The more she apologized, the more wrong her footsteps became, and she stepped on Ah Hao several times.

"It's okay, take your time."

With Ahao's comfort, Xizi also gradually mastered the trick.

Soon, the first dance was over.

"Now, ladies and gents, separate! Stand opposite each other in two rows!"

Under the guidance of Mr. Eli, Xi Zi stood opposite Ahao.

Mr. Eli's next sentence really surprised Ahao.

"Ladies, move three steps to the left, ready to switch partners and start the next dance!
"Come on, ladies at the front, please take a small step and go to the back to find your partner!"

Following Mr. Eli's words, the faces of the men present became excited.

"Hey, is it so exciting?"

"Is this how the Agadians entertain? What a lesson."

In front of Ah Hao, Xi Zi was pushed to the left by the crowd reluctantly.

"Hee hee, hurry up."

"Go, go!"

"Ah, this is the part I'm most looking forward to."

Only then did he notice that the smiles on the faces of the ladies were no less than those of the men.

An Elak person dressed as a dancer walked up to Ahao gracefully.

There was no blindfold on her face, only a long veil covering her nose below.

Her graceful and fair figure is looming under the transparent tulle dress.

The gauze skirt, which is economical in materials, is dotted with golden decorations.

Ah Hao stared at her intently.

She also smiled gracefully at Ahao.

Ah Hao saw a smile from the moist light flowing from her eyes.
