HRPM – Chapter 253 She’s Making a Grand Finale Appearance

The beauties participating in the competition took turns riding small boats to board the large pleasure boat in the center that served as the performance stage.

Whenever the middle-aged host called out a contestant’s name, the beauty in question would step onto the pleasure boat to perform.

The surrounding crowd watched with great enjoyment. Not only were the beauties charming and graceful, but each also possessed unique talents.

Some performed musical instruments, some sang, some danced, and others displayed superb martial arts skills, flying back and forth across the water. There were even contestants showing off their culinary skills, making the audience’s mouths water. More astonishingly, one beauty even performed acrobatics.

Especially Princess Mu Yun—she went on stage to perform sword swallowing, but after swallowing the sword, for some unknown reason she could not pull it back out.

In the end, the Fourth Prince had to carry her off the boat and help get it out. Fortunately, she was not injured, though the little mishap brought plenty of laughter to the audience.

“Next, Miss Jin Shuang’er will perform the dance Mysteries of the East for us,” the middle-aged man in splendid robes loudly announced after the previous contestant finished her panpipe performance.

The servant standing at the bow immediately declared, “Our Miss Jin Shuang’er says her performance is too spectacular, so it should be saved for the finale. Otherwise, the other ladies’ performances would pale in comparison.”

Such arrogant words instantly sparked countless reactions.

Some people were angry, some eager for drama, some expectant, and some disdainful. Quite a few of the young ladies were furious. That Miss Jin Shuang’er clearly did not regard them as worthy opponents. Just because she had a prince supporting her, she thought herself above everyone else.

“Then we shall move Miss Jin’s performance to the end. We eagerly await Miss Jin’s act,” said the middle-aged host in fine robes. He knew Jin Shuang’er was the contestant strongly backed by Prince Luo, so he had no choice but to show some respect.

Xiao Luo listened to the heated discussions breaking out everywhere, along with quite a few mocking insults and curses.

He shook his head and laughed. “Jin Luoluo, you’re far too arrogant. But I like it. I trust you only dare say such things because you’re confident. Now I’m really looking forward to your performance—it’s bound to leave everyone dazzled!”

“I learned it from you—building hype for myself. Look, the moment I acted arrogantly, everyone’s attention immediately focused on me. When I go on stage later, I’ll definitely capture the entire audience’s gaze. The principle of publicity is that the more fiercely you’re criticized, the more famous you become. Right now everyone’s opinion of me has sunk to rock bottom. Later, when my breathtaking dance proves I wasn’t lying, the contrast will create a huge impact. People in the creative business don’t walk the ordinary path.”
