Chapter 778: Chapter 26 Dragon Dance Lady [Seeking Monthly Tickets!] _1

Fuyao Country, Surge Wave City.

As the largest island country in the vast Eastern Sea, its prosperity and richness were in no way inferior to the Nine States of the Yu Dynasty. The only difference was that the Yu Dynasty had no less than ten such major cities, while the entire Fuyao Country could only support one Surge Wave City. Apart from the capital city, the areas outside the city are all rural farmland.

But in any case, the prosperity of Surge Wave City alone was enough to astonish people.

In the famous Flower Tower in the city, on the third floor of the elegant room, Chu Liang and Lin Bei sat quietly behind a thin curtain.

"Can you appreciate it?" Chu Liang’s eyelids were drooping, "Anyway, I can’t."

On the main hall of the Flower Tower, there was a stage where a group of dancers were performing. These dancers were all dressed in dazzling, golden-white heavy skirts that were unique and characterful.

But their faces were all covered with a thick layer of white makeup, topped with bright red lips. From a distance, it might not seem unusual. However, under the extraordinary eyesight of cultivators, it was somewhat off-putting.

"This place is just like that." Lin Bei also lacked enthusiasm. "No wonder Miss Xue and the others didn’t come."

At the moment, he was wearing a large Tibetan blue robe, holding a round fan, embellishing himself as a local of Fuyao. On the table, there were two cups of clear wine and a variety of snacks... The selection was wide, but none of them tasted particularly good.

This trip to Fuyao was made by Chu Liang at the invitation of Xue Lingxue to help investigate.

If they just wanted to cancel this performance, Nanyin Square could’ve simply released the information that there was no such tour, warning people not to be deceived.

But if they did that, it would be even harder to catch the mysterious person impersonating Xue Lingxue and solve the problem completely.

Therefore, Nanyin Square didn’t publicize the issue and planned to secretly come to investigate.

If Xue Lingxue wanted to ask her sect for a seventh realm master to assist her, it was certainly possible. However, Chu Liang’s exceptional intelligence was recognized within the Immortal Cultivation World, and his assistance was definitely better than a sect master.

Yun Chaoxian Sect was busy with its own affairs and didn’t accompany them, so the initial plan was for Chu Liang, Xue Lingxue, and Iron Hammer Girl to travel together.

However, when Lin Bei heard that Chu Liang was going to Fuyao Country, he immediately said, "What a coincidence! I have a friend in Fuyao Country who just invited me to visit. Since you guys are also going, we might as well travel together."

Chu Liang was no longer surprised by Lin Bei’s wide circle of friends. Before he joined the Foreign Affairs Hall, Lin Bei had demonstrated his talent. As the leader of the Four Tyrants of Shu Mountain, he often interacted with others. Most people wanted to make friends with him because he was honorable, and it was only natural for him to have friends everywhere.

Lin Bei, who was no longer a young boy, had a reputation in the world for being like ’Shu Mountain’s Defender of Justice, Red Cotton’s Timely Rain’.

The friend who invited him to Surge Wave City this time was the head of a large local family who had been to Red Cotton Peak to discuss cooperation.

Thanks to his good fortune, they received a warm welcome as soon as they arrived. They had prepared a large courtyard for them to live in the city, and had even arranged a performance at the Flower Tower in the evening.

Fuyao Country has always been known for its appreciation of elegant arts and is known as the "Romantic Country" with a particular emphasis on the arts of song and dance.

Therefore, Nanyin Square, which specializes in this field, has a reputation in Fuyao Country comparable to the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect. It’s a pity that the disciples of Nanyin Square never cared about this island country in the Eastern Sea and never performed here.

For this reason, the news of Xue Lingxue’s tour caused quite a stir in Fuyao Country.

...

"Brother Lin Bei! Ah, so this must be the world-famous Warrior Chu! I’ve long heard of you!"

Before long, a middle-aged man with a thin body and a goatee walked towards them, greeting them as soon as he entered the room.

"He Feng, the family head." Chu Liang and Lin Bei also stood up to greet him.

The He Family is one of the few large families in Fuyao Country, dealing in spirit plants, spirit beasts, elixirs, magic artifacts and other businesses, so they have close ties with Red Cotton Peak.

"I’ve long admired Brother Lin Bei and invited him to play in Surge Wave City." After exchanging pleasantries, He Feng sat down and laughed, "I didn’t expect that even Warrior Chu would come this time, which truly makes me feel honored."

"Really?" Chu Liang also laughed, "I was worried that I wouldn’t be welcomed in Fuyao Country."

This wasn’t an exaggeration. From Empress Feng to Chu Liang, Silver Sword Peak was considered an old enemy of Fuyao Country.

"Hmm..." He Feng pondered for a moment, "It’s true that a small portion of the population in Fuyao Country isn’t very fond of Warrior Chu, but you won on your own merit back then, and won fair and square, so reasonable people naturally respect that."

With that, he turned his head and asked Lin Bei, "Brother Lin Bei, what do you think of the song and dance of my Fuyao Country?"

"Haha!" Lin Beilang laughed and replied, "Fuyao is indeed the Romantic Country, this dance performance...it has quite a unique taste."

Looking at those pale faces, he too hesitated for a while in his choice of words.

"Brother Lin Bei needs not to lavish false praise. Compared to the song and dance artists of the Yu Dynasty, our song and dance maidens from Fuyao Country can’t step on stage." He Feng chuckled, "But the reason I invited you here today is because there will be a performance by the Dragon Dance Lady."

"Dragon Dance Lady?" Chu Liang didn’t know what it was.

After a brief explanation by He Feng, the two understood.

It turns out "Dragon" is the highest title for dance maidens in Fuyao Country. The person called Dragon Dance Lady is the strongest dancer in the country over the past few years.

"The best dance master of Fuyao Country is definitely worth looking forward to." Lin Bei responded promptly.

The three of them conversed here as more songstresses sang and musicians played on the stage, all quite skilled. But as members of the Immortal Sect accustomed to witnessing performances in Nanyin Square, Chu Liang and Lin Bei were not particularly moved.

After a good while, when all the performers left the stage, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Already, there were excited cheers in anticipation of the arrival of the Dragon Dance Lady. It seems her popularity in Fuyao Country is quite high.

"Oh——"

With a cheer, a multicolored veil suddenly fell from the top of the Flower Tower, landing on the stage center. Suddenly, it spun around like a whirlwind for several turns, dazzling the audience.

In the blink of an eye, the veil transformed into a waterfall-like long-sleeved dress, worn by a woman with a slender figure and well-proportioned features.

This woman had clear and translucent skin, delicate facial features, and her eyes seemed to contain ripples. Her face was soft yet cold, and her body perfect - anything more or less would not be as beautiful.

If she appeared alone, she would certainly be a rare beauty. However, appearing after those strange faces that were just on stage, elevated her to a dazzling beauty of the mortal realm.

"Dragon Dance Lady!" Lin Bei immediately joined the cheering crowd around him.

Chu Liang, however, sat calmly, quietly admiring. Although far away from Jiang Yuebai, he always kept the two words ’manly virtue’ in his heart.

When the cheering subsided slightly, the Dragon Dance Lady on the stage gently bowed to the audience. Then with a wave of her water sleeves, she began her performance.

For cultivators, as long as they reach the First Realm, their bodies will far exceed the flexibility and coordination of ordinary people, allowing them to perform any action. Hence, normal dance movements are not especially captivating.

The dance of the Dragon Dance Lady however was exceptionally smooth. From the first movement, it was like hitting a point connecting to the universe, and her body’s flow seemed to have a strange enchanting power that would cause anyone to fall into a trance.

It was like a technique performed through dance, although it didn’t cause any harm.

"Truly has some skill." Chu Liang nodded in approval.

Upon reaching the Seventh Realm, his understanding of the universe deepened, and whenever he observed things in the world, he naturally viewed them through the lens of "seeking the path". This was a common trait of every cultivator at the Seventh Realm, habitually looking for every possible opportunity to understand universe, perhaps the meaning of the "Questioning Path" realm lies in this.

Just when the audience was entranced by the Dragon Dance Lady’s performance, a surprised cry suddenly echoed from the outside, "Ah!"

Immediately, there was a loud bang!

Bang—

A black silhouette crashed through the floor and swept away the Dragon Dance Lady before breaking through the floor again from the other side.

Within the blink of an eye, the Dragon Dance Lady who was just performing on the high platform disappeared under the watchful eyes of all.

Only leaving behind a ground full of sinister demonic aura.

After a momentary pause, the first shout resounded from the crowd, "The Dragon Dance Lady has been kidnapped!"
