HRPM – Chapter 247 Winning by Surprise (1)

“That is quite an unexpectedly effective strategy, but just attracting attention isn’t enough. I still need some winning talent. I can’t exactly go up there and just rely on my sharp tongue, can I? Xiao Luo, are you planning to promote me? You’re investing so heavily—aren’t you worried you’ll lose everything?”

“No,” Xiao Luo said. “Even if you don’t win first place, as long as you appear on stage, the young noblemen will definitely shower you with rewards and gifts. Honestly, just participating once would earn you piles of gold and silver. Why not?”

A strange light gleamed in Xiao Luo’s eyes. “Besides, I have a lot of confidence in you. Even if you know nothing, you’d still stand out brilliantly. Rather than supporting beauties whose abilities are already known, I’d rather support a girl like you, full of unknown possibilities. That sense of anticipation—and the unexpected surprises you bring—are even more captivating.”

Jin Luoluo broke into a cold sweat.

“Why do I suddenly feel like I’ve become some product being put up for sale? Still, since I’ve joined the competition, if I perform too poorly, even though I’m using a fake name, half-heartedly muddling through isn’t my style. Since I’m here, I’m going to do my absolute best. No matter what it takes, I’m going to achieve a groundbreaking victory.”

Jin Luoluo summoned a maidservant and ordered her to return immediately to the Jin residence and bring over all the items she needed.

Gritting her teeth, she grabbed the cosmetics herself and began applying makeup.

Her eye makeup was rich, glamorous, and seductive. Glittering crystals ran down from between her brows. A golden forehead ornament inlaid with emeralds rested upon her noble brow. Her cheeks glowed like rosy clouds and mist, and her delicate crimson lips were irresistibly alluring.

Her slender jade-like hands were adorned with linked rings and bracelets made of gold ornaments, and every slight movement produced the crisp tinkling of tiny golden bells.

“Miss, your dance costume has arrived. But… isn’t this outfit too revealing? It doesn’t even cover your navel. Isn’t that a little too provocative?”

Lüya, whom Jin Luoluo had called over, pulled out a two-piece dance costume. The top only covered half the body; from the collar down to the chest it was still fairly conservative, but below that all the way to the navel there wasn’t a scrap of fabric. The outfit was shockingly bold.

As for the lower half, the skirt was made of soft gauze paired with glittering golden waist ornaments. It was unbelievably seductive—even she thought it looked far too flirtatious.

“To dance belly dance properly, costumes like these have to be gorgeous and form-fitting. The whole point is to show off the body’s curves so that when you move and sway, a woman’s beautiful figure blends perfectly into the dance itself. This outfit is already considered conservative. Modern people wear even hotter outfits when dancing Latin dances!”
