Chapter 176: The Dance Gala Begins, Saintesses Present Dances for the Crown Prince!
Lin Qi’an and Su Xueni returned to their residence.
“Your Highness, I can’t help but feel that the young girl is unusual. There’s an inexplicable aura about her…”
“Unusual is correct; she’s practically a walking calamity. It’s best to stay far away from her.”
“Don’t worry about her. There’s no need to overthink it.”
“By the way, Your Highness, there’s a dance gala tomorrow. We plan to perform a dance for you, so please look forward to it!”
“Oh? In that case, I shall eagerly await it.”
That night, Su Xueni naturally shared the bed with Lin Qi’an.
After a sleepless night, Lin Qi’an noticed Su Xueni’s already exquisite physique had matured further. Her skin, as pristine as the first snow on Mount Hua, truly embodied the phrase “ice muscles and jade bones.”
Ever since Su Xueni entered the Immortal Fairy Goddess Diagram, her cultivation and combat abilities had surpassed those of others. This was because she could comprehend the profound Dao opportunities within the diagram.
Once fully understood, it could provide a direct path to becoming a Great Emperor, a dream many could only hope to achieve. By following this systematic cultivation, eventual ascension to the imperial realm was guaranteed.
Lin Qi’an himself gained icy energy from their dual cultivation, creating a positive feedback loop where both parties mutually benefited.
Now, Su Xueni had opened all her spiritual apertures, elevating her to the status of a monstrous genius. Compared to other Holy Sons and God Sons, she was not inferior in the least. However, she had no interest in flaunting her prowess and preferred to follow the Crown Prince, silently watching him.
Soon after, Lin Qi’an summoned Zi Lianyou and Ran Yuwei to join them and also placed them into the Immortal Fairy Goddess Diagram.
Now, the diagram bore the silhouettes of three stunning celestial figures.
Leaving an imprint within this primordial treasure meant their lives and deaths were tied to Lin Qi’an’s will. In return, they could access unparalleled Dao opportunities.
“Opportunities of the Dao!”
Hearing this phrase, both women were overjoyed. Following Lin Qi’an had brought them far more benefits than they could have ever imagined.
As ordinary Saintesses, they might have achieved some regional fame. But staying by the Crown Prince’s side gave them a chance to ascend to the status of Empress.
To be with the man they admired while also pursuing the Dao was, without doubt, the most blissful existence imaginable.
In the courtyard, three maids were practicing their dance.
“Listen up, we must perfect this performance. Otherwise, we’ll be ridiculed by other women, especially that Zhao Qingmeng!”
Su Xueni, as the “elder sister,” took charge of teaching the others. Recently, many women had been vying for the positions near the Crown Prince, making the maids feel a sense of urgency.
They had to shine at the dance gala!
Night fell, and the bright moon hung high in the sky. In the bustling palace city of Tai’an, the grand dance gala officially began!
This gala, a gathering for young elites, aimed to help the outstanding talents who had endured multiple battles relax and celebrate.
The event was held in the grand plaza outside the palace city. Lanterns and red decorations adorned the surroundings, with luxurious golden-threaded red carpets covering the ground. Thousands of low, square tables were neatly arranged across the plaza.
The tables were adorned with fine wines and jade cups. Those eligible to sit at the tables were no ordinary individuals; only distinguished geniuses of the heavens were allowed.
Ordinary onlookers could only stand, yet even so, crowds surrounded the plaza in layers, forming a sea of people.
“This is incredible! So many people!”
“Of course! Events like this are a once-in-a-lifetime experience!”
“I heard rumors that tonight’s performers include some peerless beauties!”
“Exactly! Their songs and dances are treasures to witness even once in a lifetime!”
“Haha, we’re all lucky to bask in the Crown Prince’s glory. Without him, we wouldn’t have this chance to see such splendor.”
Whether seated or standing, everyone eagerly anticipated the gala.
Who wouldn’t enjoy watching stunning women of unparalleled beauty? It was said that even the Crown Prince’s personal maids, renowned for their elegance, would perform. Their allure was beyond imagination.
At the northern side of the plaza stood three supreme seats. Why three seats? Because they corresponded to the champions of the three competition rounds.
However, since Lin Qi’an had triumphed in all three rounds, he was the sole occupant of the supreme seats.
He was undeniably the star of the night. All the performances were dedicated to him. The Saintesses and fairies participating hoped to capture the Crown Prince’s attention, wishing for
even the slightest favor.
Thus, the crowd both envied and admired Lin Qi’an. “Let it begin!”
“Look quickly, who is that woman?”
“My heavens, isn’t that Qin Jinxian, the Zither Immortal from the Music Bureau?”
“She’s actually here?”
A graceful figure walked forward, wearing a resplendent red dress adorned with gold-threaded embroidery of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix. Her attire was exquisite beyond compare.
Her eyes, adorned with makeup, were as enchanting as fluttering butterflies. With a casual gesture, she retrieved an ancient zither from her storage ring, placing it gently on the ground.
“Tonight, this humble woman shall perform for the Crown Prince.”
The crowd was stunned. None expected the renowned Zither Immortal to be present specifically to perform at this gala!
“The Crown Prince truly has immense influence. Others can only dream of hearing her play once, yet he has her here, performing endlessly!”
“We’re in for a feast for the eyes and ears tonight!”
“Haha, with the Zither Immortal gracing us, this gala promises exceptional quality!”
As the melodious zither music began, heavenly daughters stepped onto the stage one by one, showcasing their singing or dancing talents. None of the participants were mediocre. Each could easily command the adoration of millions.
Lin Qi’an sipped fine wine, listening to the music and leisurely appreciating the performances from his exclusive seat.
After several acts, the highlight of the night arrived.
The melody shifted.
Suddenly, two ethereal figures floated down from the moonlit sky.One was clad in a dreamlike purple dress, her figure graceful and captivating, her beauty like a purple orchid in full bloom.
The other, with a slender waist and charming allure, wore a strikingly unique outfit that left the audience in awe.
“It’s the Crown Prince’s two maids!”
“So beautiful… Heavenly!”
Indeed, these two were Zi Lianyou and Ran Yuwei.
But just as the crowd marveled, yet another figure descended from the moonlit heavens!
This figure wore a pure white long dress, its hem flowing like a dream. Her cascading black hair swayed like water grasses in the breeze, soft and gentle.
Her elegant and refined features radiated a celestial brilliance, her jade-like face illuminated by a star-like glow that seemed to brighten the mundane world itself.
“An immortal… an actual immortal!”
“Too beautiful…”
Countless men were spellbound, some even drooling unconsciously.
Su Xueni stepped forward as if treading on the moonlight, her form enveloped in a cold aura, truly embodying the essence of an immortal fairy.
The three women had prepared a special dance for Lin Qi’an. Accompanied by the Zither Immortal’s music, their dance, with its light and ethereal movements, swirling blossoms, and radiant elegance, entranced countless onlookers.
“As expected of Su Xueni, the Saintess of Tianchi, ranked second among the immortals—she truly is breathtakingly beautiful!”
“One glance at her, and I’ll never forget it for the rest of my life!”
“Such a woman serves the Crown Prince nightly—ah, I’m going mad with envy!”
The more captivated the male cultivators were, the more they envied and resented Lin Qi’an. Some even shed tears of frustration.
There was no helping it; such women could only belong to someone like the Crown Prince. Just witnessing them was already a blessing for the rest.
At last, the trio’s performance ended. Many in the audience remained in a daze, mouths agape, unable to recover from their trance.
“Not bad.” Lin Qi’an applauded, clearly pleased with their efforts.
The crowd followed suit with a thunderous wave of applause and cheers. Many even shouted, “Encore!”
However, Su Xueni and the others had already returned to Lin Qi’an’s side. A single performance was enough to make their point: even as the Crown Prince’s maids, they were unparalleled in beauty and talent!
As the evening progressed with additional performances, the audience began to feel a sense of diminishing excitement.
“These women are stunning and immensely talented, but it just doesn’t feel the same…”
“Exactly. They fall short compared to what we just witnessed.”
“Of course, they do! Three Saintesses dancing together—do you think that’s something you’d see casually on the streets?”
“If the Crown Prince weren’t here, we’d never experience this in our lifetimes. Be content!”
Soon, the second major act began. A painting flew into the air, stopping at the center of the plaza. The artwork depicted two women.
“What is this…?”
“Could it be a mystical technique from Yunmo Dao Palace?”
As the crowd wondered, the two women in the ink painting stepped out from the artwork itself! One wore a loose Daoist robe adorned with cloud patterns and ink bamboo. The other donned a cyan lotus dress.
“My goodness, it’s Mo Shuiqiu, the Saintess of Yunmo, and Lu Miaoyin, the Lotus Fairy, ranked third among immortals!”
“This is madness! These two renowned prodigies of the Canglan Dao Domain are performing for the Crown Prince?”
“The Crown Prince’s influence truly knows no bounds!”
