“Haha, Third Brother, your concubines don’t have the courage to put horns on you. Rest easy. Let’s just enjoy watching the beauty!”
As the music reached another climax, two beautiful maids stepped out from behind the curtain and removed one of the gauze layers. Instantly, the remaining curtain became semi-transparent.
The figure inside grew much clearer. One could already vaguely make out the golden ornaments adorning her hair and body.
Her form, which had previously been hidden in a haze, was now five or six parts visible. As she swayed and twisted, she became even more mesmerizing.
The crowd around the lake erupted with excitement. The entire lakeside seemed to boil over with enthusiasm. Many people shouted Jin Shuang’er’s name at the top of their lungs, while others waved their arms excitedly. Some became so carried away that they leaned too far over the railings and splashed straight into the water.
The pleasure boat belonging to Jin Shuang’er had already become packed with gifts. Servants hurriedly carried piles of gold, silver, and valuables into the cabin.
Xiao Luo sat by the edge of his boat, gazing toward Jin Luoluo as she danced upon the painted barge.
Watching her outshine every other beauty, receiving the most gifts and loudest cheers, he found it strangely difficult to feel happy.
The dance was indeed astonishingly unexpected. Whether it was the controversial nature of the performance itself or the carefully planned presentation surrounding it, everything had successfully captured the audience’s attention.
Jin Luoluo truly deserved her reputation as a genius. She had even applied business and marketing techniques to this competition.
Compared with Yang Ruoyao’s refined performance, which appealed only to a select few, and Yaoji’s lofty elegance, Jin Luoluo’s dance was far more eye-catching—so much so that it drove people into a frenzy. There was no doubt that she would take first place in this contest.
A strange irritation flickered within his midnight-dark eyes. Unable to control himself, he tightened his grip on his folding fan and murmured softly:
“Luoluo, you said you would give me a dance capable of toppling cities. Now I’d rather you hadn’t danced at all. I truly regret letting you participate in this gathering. So many thieving eyes are staring at your beauty. It’s infuriating—extremely infuriating…”
Crack.
The jade folding fan in his hand snapped under the force of his anger.
At that moment, he wanted nothing more than to rush up there, bundle her into his arms, and carry her away. Or perhaps cover everyone’s eyes so that this enchanting fairy would dance for him alone, every graceful movement of her body belonging solely to him.
The moment that thought surfaced, even Xiao Luo was startled.
Since when had he become so captivated by a girl that he was losing his reason? He had only thought that Jin Luoluo was interesting and adorable…
