"He refused!? Oh my god, he actually refused to kiss Princess Yuna!?"

The noble youths in the hall were immediately in an uproar, even Steve widened his eyes and looked at Du Chen in disbelief.

Du Chen smiled, picked up a glass of red liquor from the table, and slowly tasted it. It seemed that this drink was more appealing than the girl in front of him.

There was no choice. After all, Du Chen had practiced the art of celibacy.

He was also a normal man and would be moved by a beautiful woman. However, once he was moved, he was prone to making mistakes. But once he made a mistake, "The Lotus Treasure Mirror" would mercilessly turn Du Chen into a eunuch!

Moreover, "The Lotus Treasure Mirror" stipulated that Du Chen must not get close to women. What exactly was the standard for getting close to women!? After all, the person who invented this technique was an Chinese ancient person, and ancient Chinese etiquette was very strict. There were countless rules and regulations concerning the interaction between men and women. What if kissing a woman was considered getting close to women?

He didn't dare to take the risk, as it involved his lifelong happiness!

So Du Chen had only one attitude towards women, especially beautiful women - to ignore them and eliminate all possibilities of making mistakes!!

There was a hint of embarrassment on Yuna's face, but she smiled and said, "My name is Yuna, the Grand Princess of the Empire. Nice to meet you, Francis, Saint, Sigru, Kain!"

Those familiar with imperial etiquette knew that when a noble addressed another noble by their full name in an informal setting, it meant expressing displeasure. But Du Chen didn't understand this. He hadn't fully learned the etiquette of this world yet.

But Du Chen cleared his throat, realizing something. His words just now lacked respect for Yuna. He raised his glass and Drink it all in one gulp, "Princess Yuna, I apologize with this glass of wine, but I never kiss anyone's hand!"

"Francis!" Steve reminded Du Chen in a low voice. He must not let the princess feel embarrassed. But he couldn't help but feel a bit amused and helpless. Sigru ancestors, oh my dear little brother, he's the first one to refuse the kiss of Princess Yuna, the first one in the entire Einst continent!

Yuna smiled. The slight smile on her lips turned into a gentle laugh as she tilted her head to the left, saying, "I understand. You can use another form of etiquette!"

The noble youths were shocked. Oh my god, Princess Yuna was hinting that Francis could use a more intimate etiquette, like a kiss on the cheek!

Du Chen continued to smile, but he felt a bit unhappy inside. Was Princess Yuna crazy? Why did she have to insist on a kissing etiquette? Couldn't a handshake or a bow suffice? It seemed like it was impossible not to kiss her!

"Princess, I'm really sorry. I just recovered from a serious illness, and I'm still in the phase of learning etiquette. Many of my movements are not up to standard. If I perform a salute now, it would be very disrespectful!"

He refused again. Steve had a wry smile on his face. He thought to himself that tomorrow's headline in the Imperial Daily would read - "Francis refuses to kiss Princess Yuna!"

Yuna misunderstood. She thought to herself, who said Francis was a disgrace to the Saint Kain family? Playing hard to get, wasn't this the seduction technique that her playboy elder brother often talked about!?

This Francis wasn't only not an idiot, but also quite "naughty"!

Thinking of this, Yuna said angrily, "Do you want to take it a step further in etiquette?"

Taking it a step further than a kiss on the cheek meant a kiss on the lips!

But Du Chen asked blankly, "What does it mean to take it a step further in etiquette?"

Princess Yuna's face turned slightly red, and she stared at Du Chen angrily, saying, "Do you still want to kiss my lips?"

Du Chen secretly thought to himself that even if he offended the princess today, he absolutely could not kiss her. The cultivation of "The Lotus Treasure Mirror" surpassed everything... This princess, why did she have to insist on being kissed by him!

"Princess, I'm sorry. I don't want to kiss your lips either!

The crowd was astonished to the point of numbness.

Princess Yuna’s face turned gloomy. “Well then, it seems I really can’t get a kiss from Lord Francis!” She played with her golden hair and started to leave from Dust’s side.

Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.

Steve panicked and quickly gestured to Dust. The goal for today was to secure Francis’s favor for future prospects, so they couldn’t offend the princess.

Du Chen glanced at Steve and thought, “Big brother has been good to me, I can’t cause trouble for him!” So, Du Chen picked up a glass of strong liquor and hurriedly walked to Yuna’s side, downing the drink in one gulp. “Hehe, Princess, I’ll be honest. I really can’t kiss you because… I had garlic today! Didn’t you notice me continually using alcohol to mask the smell?”

Yuna covered her mouth and stared blankly for a moment before bursting into laughter. “Hehe, Francis, you are truly amusing! So you like eating garlic! That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard today! So, what else do you like to eat?”

Amid the envious gazes of other noble youths and Steve’s astonished expression, Du Chen engaged in a conversation with Yuna, speaking bit by bit.

After a while, it seemed Steve understood something. Seizing the opportunity of toasting, he leaned close to Du Chen’s ear and smirked, “Dear younger brother, was that your technique for pursuing the princess? Well done! You’ve truly grasped my teachings. It seems my little brother has finally caught on!”

However, Du Chen calmly replied, “It wasn’t a technique. I have absolutely no interest in her.”

"Okay, stop pretending!" Steve smirked. "But be careful, Yuna Princess is the most beautiful girl in Yanjing, and a lot of people have their eyes on her. Don't make too many enemies for her sake, it's not worth it!"

After saying that, Steve finished his drink in one gulp. "Dear little brother, have fun. Big brother is going to charm some beauties!"

He plunged into the dance floor and soon danced with a girl, shoulder to shoulder.

This big brother... sigh, Du Chen sighed.

Princess Yuna was very enthusiastic, and Du Chen tried his best to deal with it casually so as not to cause trouble for his big brother. Suddenly, Du Chen's buttocks started to itch!

The "The Lotus Treasure Mirror" sent a signal, indicating that there was an opportunity to do a good deed!

Du Chen was overjoyed and quickly looked around. He saw that more than a hundred young men in the hall were grouped in threes and fives, or in pairs, all immersed in the atmosphere of the banquet. In this situation, how could there be an opportunity to do a good deed?

After a quick scan, Du Chen didn't find any unusual situations. But the "The Lotus Treasure Mirror" wouldn't be wrong, there must be an opportunity to do a good deed! He activated the internal strength of the lotus and infused it into his eyes, slyly observing everyone.

Princess Yunna was surprised. The Francis who was full of sunshine just now suddenly looked... very inappropriate? Like a pervert looking for a target?

She couldn't help but ask, "Francis, what are you looking for?"

"It's nothing, just looking around. Hey!Frith, what are you doing!?" Du Chen shouted and quickly rushed to a dark corner.

In the corner,Frith, the son of the finance minister who had been taught a lesson by Du Chen earlier, was holding hands with a girl and walking towards a side door.

Although the girl appeared affectionate with Frith, her steps were floating, and there was a hint of unnaturalness in her smile, or rather, something eerie. Based on Du Chen's experience of mixing in the dark side of society in his past life, he immediately saw the problem!

With Du Chen's guidance, everyone saw Frith and the girl.

Du Chen quickly approached and deftly checked Frith. Immediately, he found something in Frith' pocket.

"Frith, what is this!?" Du Chen reached into Frith's pocket and took out a small packet, opened it, and threw it on the ground. It was a handful of white powder.

The noble youngsters present, many of whom were of the same ilk as Frith , suddenly understood the truth.

Suddenly, the itch on Du Chen's buttocks subsided, making him feel relieved. Obviously, the girl must be modest, and Frithwanted to obtain her through despicable means. As for Du Chen, he protected the chastity of a modest girl and thwarted a despicable plot. This was indeed a great good deed!

At this moment, the second lotus flower on Du Chen's buttocks had blossomed to about 20%. The internal strength of the lotus was now more than twice as strong as when it first appeared.

Under the gaze of everyone, Frith stood awkwardly in place, not knowing what to do.

Du Chen approached him and said with a heartache, "Frith, even though you are not a descendant of the Legendary fighter God, as a descendant of the Legendary fighter God, I have to say that if you want to win a girl's heart, you have to show your excellent side and move her with your sincerity. But you... sigh, what a shame! Tonight, hundreds of people witnessed your disgrace!"

"You!" Frith was furious and ashamed. He felt utterly embarrassed and could only vent his anger on Du Chen.

He abruptly yanked off the necklace around his neck, preparing to activate his sacred weapon. However, at that moment, Steve's cold voice came from the dance floor, "Charlie, my second brother, it seems someone wants to challenge the glory of the Saint Kain family!"

Charlie didn't want to get involved with Du Chen's affairs, but today the three brothers stood as representatives of the Saint Kain family. Their honor and reputation were interconnected, so he had no choice but to coldly snort and threaten, "Frith, a Level 1 Scarlet Robe Martial Warrior! If you want a duel, I, Charlie, a Level 4 Green Robe Martial Warrior, am willing to accompany you to the end in the name of Saint Sigurd Kain!"

Frith was momentarily stunned and reluctantly hung the sacred weapon back around his neck. At that moment, Princess Yuna coldly ordered, "Take this despicable guy out! From now on, he is not allowed to attend any of my banquets!"

The Crescent Moon Gate swung open, and several fierce and malevolent warriors rushed in, beating Frith with sticks and throwing him out!

Du Chen smiled. He didn't come here tonight in vain and had just performed another perfect act of kindness!

Yuna approached Du Chen and smiled, saying, "Thank you. If something like this were to happen at my banquet, it would be a disgrace."

"Princess, it's the least I could do! I apologize, but I'm feeling a bit unwell. I would like to rest for a moment." Du Chen didn't want to engage in further conversation with Yuna. He found a secluded corner and enjoyed his wine alone.

The banquet continued, and shortly afterward, the girl who had almost fallen victim to Frith regained her senses. The drug Frith had used was indeed potent. Upon being informed of what had occurred, she gracefully walked over to Du Chen, lifted the corner of her dress, and bowed lightly. "Francis, I sincerely thank you!" Her bright blue eyes were filled with enthusiasm and her fair face blushed. She lowered her head and asked, "May I invite you to dance?"

Du Chen's heart skipped a beat, and when he looked in the distance, he saw Steve winking and smiling at him.

Oh my goodness! Could this damned girl be trying to seduce me?
