Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 622 - 610: Dragons Dance with the Phoenix

High society—these four simple words are not so simple after all.

Who truly counts as a member of high society? What does it mean to step into this exclusive circle? Many are unclear about this definition, often blurring and even fooling themselves. Wealth does not necessarily equate to true high society. Real members might not always be extremely wealthy, but they certainly possess extraordinary influence, power, and heritage. Only such individuals can genuinely be considered part of the real high society.

Rich second-generation heirs think they belong to high society—they believe they are superior. In reality, they are deceiving themselves, merely fitting into a high society of their own delusions. They think they have entered the prestigious circle, but this is not the case. In Donglin City, there’s only one standard that measures if one truly belongs to high society: whether one is eligible to attend the Dragon and Phoenix Banquet. This is the only criterion, and it’s an exceptionally high one. Many, who would be considered top-notch elsewhere, are just mediocre here in the treacherous environment of Donglin City. Claiming to be a member of Haidong Aquatic Pavilion and thinking it makes one a part of high society is simply not the case.

The real high society of Donglin City is defined solely by the Dragon and Phoenix Banquet—it determines one’s status and grants this honor. This is why the people of Donglin City crave an invitation to the banquet, even Guo Momo is no exception. The influence of the banquet is indeed unshakable. If we talk about Tangyu’s financial reputation, he would be considered an ordinary person in Donglin City. However, Tangyu is recognized by high society and enters its circles through his influence, his immense popularity, and his current position of power.

The Fairy from the Fairy Palace arrived. This time she came alone, descending like a fairy, capturing everyone’s attention with her radiant brilliance. On regular days, glimpsing her true face is as hard as ascending to the heavens. Today, the Dragon and Phoenix Banquet offers a rare opportunity that no one wants to miss lightly. As one of the four great beauties of Donglin, she bears the name of one of Huaxia Country’s ancient great beauties and has a truly breathtaking beauty, even carrying an otherworldly, immortal aura about her. She’s like a goddess, admired from afar but too divine to approach closely.

Both the Queen Mother of Heavenly Court and Doctor Xiao, the esteemed Empress, came hand in hand—one, dignified and majestic with a motherly grace; the other, stunning and ethereal, seeming almost not of this world.

Three of the great beauties of Donglin arrived consecutively, much to everyone’s delight, who greeted them eagerly, unconcerned whether they responded or not. The Queen Mother, the Fairy, and Doctor Xiao slightly nodded to everyone. To everyone’s surprise, the three headed straight toward Tangyu. When they actually stopped before Tangyu, making it clear they were there to see him, everyone felt like going mad with envy, jealousy, and resentment, indescribably so.

Tangyu already had several great beauties by his side—Lin Feifei, Guo Momo, Zhao Yaya, and sisters Zhang Xiaoxi and Zhang Xiaodong, with Fang Yishui having joined recently, and Su Yaoji had also approached earlier. Mad, absolutely mad—such good fortune could make anyone drool with envy.

Even Tangyu himself was somewhat shocked to see the three great beauties standing before him, though he only really knew Doctor Xiao. He was hardly acquainted with the Queen Mother and not at all with the Fairy. With the Queen Mother, he had a brief encounter once, but never interaced with the Fairy. Looking at the three stunning women was indeed a feast for the eyes. Tangyu felt like crying; if they kept standing there tempting him, he might just—just drool! To maintain his dignified image, it would be better if the three beauties didn’t stand so close.

"Divine Doctor Tang, we meet again. I didn’t expect such a huge change at our second meeting. I seldom admire someone, but Divine Doctor Tang, I admire you. I like men like you, full of passion, backbone, and pride," said the Queen Mother, her eyes like bright mirrors, autumn moons, and twinkling stars. Her beauty perfectly captured the essence of captivating eyes, incredibly tempting. Tangyu felt, just a few more glances from the Queen Mother and he couldn’t bear it.

Beauty that could destabilize nations—surely it was no less than this.

"Are you confessing to me?" Tangyu blinked and said with an adorably serious look, "I’ve never had such a straightforward confession from a great beauty before. This really excites me."

Zhao Yaya, too, watched the Queen Mother with wide eyes, feeling as if facing a great threat. Other beauties did not scare her, but a dominantly beautiful woman like the Queen Mother truly seemed capable of seducing her kind brother away. Moreover, she disliked such imposing women. Naturally, Zhao Yaya categorized the Queen Mother as an adversary.

The Queen Mother smiled enchantingly, "If you think so, then let it be so."

"I do think so," declared Tangyu, smirking slightly.

"Divine Doctor Tang, we’ve met," smiled the Fairy, her smile as soothing as a ray of sunshine in winter, incredibly warm and comforting. How could a person’s smile be so beautiful, so charming, so kind, so warm, and make ones’ heart feel so at ease? The Fairy’s smile seemed magical, truly miraculous. In ancient times, kings would create uproar just to make a beauty smile, leading to grand farces like "using signal fires to tease the feudal lords."
