Backstage of the engagement reception.

Li Qingyao painted a light makeup, green silk and the back of her head, fixed by two hairpins, and wearing an elegant but flavorful red dress...

It looks gentle and virtuous, generous and decent.

At this time, she helped Liang Chao tidy up his clothes in front of him, smoothed this, and dusted that, with a smile in her eyebrows and eyes.

Liang Chao suddenly grabbed her hand and asked narrowly, "You seem to be very nervous?" ”

Li Qingyao's cheeks were slightly hot, and she secretly glanced around with her afterglow, and only after seeing that no one noticed it did she squeamishly snort, hooked the corners of her lips and said, "I finally deceived you, can you not be nervous?" ”

"Hahaha~"

Liang Chao chuckled, raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you so sure that you deceived me?" Why didn't I trick you? ”

After speaking, he pulled lightly, and the two were already close, and under this pull, Li Qingyao seemed to be sticking to him.

The two looked at each other, scorching as if it could melt ice and snow, and flustered like a deer...

The surrounding atmosphere is gradually becoming a little charming.

You know that I have bad intentions, and I know that you are pretending to be reserved.

Liang Chao was about to taste the tempting red lips, but suddenly the atmosphere was broken by an exclamation.

And Li Qingyao, who was about to close his eyes with the corners of his lips pursed, was also awakened and broke free from his arms in a panic.

"I didn't see anything."

Lin Yuqing covered her eyes with her hands and muttered, but for some reason, she could vaguely see her thief's eyes rolling between her fingers.

"Well, Minister Li said that the banquet can start, let me ask you if you are ready."

"Ready..."

Li Qingyao gave the little sister a blank look as she spoke, as if she was complaining that she had disturbed the good things.

"That's okay~"

Lin Yuqing turned around and left, muttering narrowly: "I didn't see anything, you continue, you continue~hehe~"

“……”

The protagonist of the banquet is ready~

Li Changshun, as Li Qingyao's elder and the matchmaker who leads the way, is still responsible for the task of presiding over the overall situation of the engagement banquet today.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the engagement banquet was almost over, he silently recited the engagement banquet speech that had been prepared long ago in his heart, and then stepped onto the stage with a red face...

"Ladies and gentlemen~"

Hearing this opening remark, everyone who went to the banquet also knew that the banquet was about to begin, so they tacitly stopped talking and gave up the main venue to the 'host' on the stage.

"Today is the wedding day for my niece Li Qingyao and Academician Liang Chaoliang to tie the knot, and I thank you for coming all the way to attend my niece's engagement banquet.

Here, on behalf of the two newcomers, I would like to extend my warmest welcome and thanks to all the guests! ”

As his opening remarks fell, Liang Chao and Li Qingyao also walked out of the backstage.

Li Changshun said with a smile: "As an elder and matchmaker, I am still quite excited, and I have a lot to say to the two newcomers.

The so-called lovers eventually become married, lovesick people tie the knot, the two of you from acquaintance, acquaintance, cherishment, love, and now set a marriage...

I looked at the whole process, I was happy in my heart, and I was sincerely happy for you.

Marriage is a lifelong event...

In the days to come, I hope that you two can support each other, love each other, comfort each other, do not doubt, do not give up, do not disobey, and have a bumper harvest in your family and career......"

A speech also brought the atmosphere of the banquet to the top, some people were envious, some people were jealous, but no matter what, everyone still gave their blessings on their faces.

With one exception...

Li Hongwei put down the snack in his hand and stood up from his seat, looking like a blessing from relatives and friends...

As Minister Li's only son and Li Qingyao's cousin, it is difficult for him not to attract the attention of others.

Wang Wei was also among them, and he saw that the young man stood up, and for some reason, he faintly felt a sense of unease.

"Today is a big day, I shouldn't have ruined everyone's fun, but such an opportunity is really rare."

Li Hongwei's voice was like magic, resounding in everyone's hearts, and the banquet instantly quieted down, and everyone who participated in the banquet looked at him with suspicion on their faces, not knowing what he meant.

Liang Chao on the stage frowned...

Li Qingyao was also at a loss...

And Li Changshun's smile was directly fixed on his face, and he couldn't wait to pull out the belt at this moment and hang up this stinky boy who didn't have long eyes and beat him.

Considering that there were many guests at the banquet and they were all acquaintances, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said word by word: "Do you know what you are talking about? ”

"Yes, very clearly."

Li Hongwei smiled slightly, facing Li Changshun, the strict father, he seemed to have changed as if he had changed a person, and there was no fear in his expression and words.

He didn't mean to explain, just smiled faintly, and then said, "Offended." ”

As soon as his words fell, some of the more perceptual beings in the banquet all stood up with changed faces.

But before they could speak, they were surprised to find that their bodies could not move, as if they were bound by an invisible force.

At some point, an extra layer of golden sand appeared on the floor of the banquet, and everyone was in this layer of sand.

What's even more terrifying is that these fine sand are like living creatures, quickly spreading to people's legs!!

The ground around the hotel weathered into the sandy Gobi at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then the fine sand rose with the wind and directly adsorbed on the hotel!!

Almost in the blink of an eye, the most luxurious hotel in the third ring of the research institute was covered with yellow sand, and the high-rise building of dozens of floors became an earthy yellow obelisk with a sharp tip below!

The Institute's protective mechanism was activated, and a translucent energy shield enveloped the entire city, and a pillar of light fell from the sky on the obelisk, only to be refracted by a mysterious force on the surface.

This is...... Something from the Third Age!!

In the sky, the phantom of 'time' appeared, and he looked at the obelisk that suddenly appeared, and the refracted pillar of light, his eyes were full of horror!!

Sirens sneered over the City of Progress, announcing an enemy invasion and putting the entire research institute on alert!

The reserve strength of the research institute, the third-order combat power that did not participate in the engagement banquet gathered from all directions!!

The 'J-800' autonomous combat robots patrolling the streets of the Third Ring Road also noticed the anomaly and retrieved the change, and the electronic eyes were all locked on the obelisk that suddenly appeared.

They were about to rush over, but the ground under their feet suddenly softened, and the autonomous combat machine seemed to be stuck in a mire or quicksand, its feet sinking into the ground, and its body kept sinking, and the more it struggled, the faster it sank.

A figure of a woman dressed in khaki clothes then emerged from the ground, probably due to her living environment, her skin was a little rough and dark...

And in the sandy Gobi around the obelisk, the figures composed of yellow sand are condensed one by one!

They are burly and majestic, with inconspicuous faces, most of them are dressed in battle armor, armed with spears and round shields, and look like soldiers in the Middle Ages.

Then the ground shook, and an amethyst-like giant claw poked out of the ground, followed by another giant claw...

Immediately after the yellow sand burst out, a giant crystal scorpion dozens of meters long drilled out of the ground!!

Its body seemed to be made of countless pieces of amethyst, the scorpion's tail needles glittered in the sunlight, and the passage of time of billions of years carved the annual rings deposited by the years on its body, and the savage aura was rich and mellow.

The woman tilted her head and said in non-standard federal official language and 'time', "We don't want to be enemies of you, and we don't want to make a mess of killing ......"
