Chapter 8, The Gift of Nature's Charm
Oh, let me finish looking first
It cannot be called singing, as there is no melody, no accompaniment; in the midst of silence, there is only the sound of women's voices softly uttering "ah, ah, ah...". The sound begins very softly, carrying a hint of breathlessness, like a gentle murmur brought by the wind in the quiet night, accompanied by the faint, fragrant aroma of night-blooming flowers, striking the swaying golden hook at the head of the bed
"The charm of nature, the unparalleled beauty of the world..." The seasoned veterans among the flowers drooled in delight
A woman suddenly appeared on the stage, her figure enchanting. Although she wore a mask, the pair of eyes revealed beneath it sparkled with life. The corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, resembling rare peach blossom eyes, with large and lively pupils. Even when still, they resembled spring water, and with a slight glance, they became even more radiant.
Aren't you the one who said you wanted to dance? Go ahead and dance! Once you do it well, I will agree to any request! The brothel madam's suspicion turned into anticipation as she urged Jing Hengbo repeatedly.
A crowd of onlookers surged over, their faces flushed and palms sweating profusely
The half-face mask is butterfly-shaped, adorned with feathers that form the wings of the butterfly, yet the colorful feathers dancing in the wind cannot compare to the sparkle in her eyes
The shout caused by the split is a trivial matter, while the 360-degree rotation is a whirlwind of frenzy. The beautiful curve presented by the arching body makes men's legs weak, and the colorful, ribbon-like folds and flips nearly lift the roof with applause
The madam squatted to one side, her gaze intense
Some seasoned admirers of flowers have already begun to cheer, all knowing that with just these eyes, this woman can be considered extraordinary
On the tree, Yelü Qi's lips twitched as he clutched a handful of leaves in his hand. Suddenly, he felt an urge to throw all these leaves at the heads of that group of scoundrels, to strip away their shiny, bald scalps.
Jing Hengbo reveals a hint of a cheeky smile—pole dancing? I have never studied it systematically; I am only interested in watching and cannot perform the most standard professional dance.
"National Master, there is another letter." The guard quietly tiptoed and whispered a few words in his ear, "The Zhan Yu Department's ... ..."
Still accompanied by that simple chant and music, she unfolded her body, completely relaxed, and with a lift of her long leg, suddenly performed a split against the pole!
... ... ''
"Let's go," he said
He adjusted his sitting posture and subconsciously touched his belt again—ever since the belt was snatched, it seems he has been left with this aftereffect
... ...
He has not experienced such complex emotions for many years
The frozen moment of posture is the graceful dahlia swaying in the spring breeze
It seems that the new queen is about to perform a dance. He is eager to see what extraordinary and stunning dance Her Majesty, the queen, can present.
It has come out! It has come out! Indeed, it is Her Majesty the Queen!
The reason Feng Lai Qi is struggling is precisely due to a lack of innovation, unable to compete with the likes of Yan Er Mei and Die Shuang Fei. This time, they racked their brains to come up with some new dance performance to attract customers, but I thought there would be something novel. After all this effort, it still turned out to be the same old routine
With a flip, she ascended to the top of the pole, her legs entwined around it, spinning three times in the air. The wild waves of her long, flowing hair danced in the wind, while her outstretched, snow-white arms resembled a pair of graceful cranes.
The fingers resting coolly on the belt, yet the heart feels somewhat warm, accompanied by a sense of confusion, complexity, anger, and a touch of helpless laughter
Her indulgence, wildness, ease, and unrestrained nature appeared suddenly in his line of sight, as bright as a fluttering flag, and suddenly pounced fiercely upon his face, soft and vivid in its rise and fall, leaving him almost breathless.
It is hard to imagine what kind of sparks would fly when the queen of the vast wilderness, known for her strict adherence to rules and doctrines, encounters such a free-spirited individual
Bang. The courtyard gate was suddenly burst open, and a large group of yamen runners rushed in
www.hetushu.com.com characters, waist rolls, twists, reversals, flying tubes, coiling tubes, inverted hanging... transcending the realm of enchantment, this is a dance that profoundly showcases the beauty of a woman's flexibility. From fingertips to toes, it narrates a tale of grace and tenderness. The hardness of the staff accentuates the softness of the woman, who transforms into a vibrant ribbon, gracefully rising and falling within the astonished gaze of the audience
The soothing and lingering melody came to a halt, and after a moment of stillness, the harmonious singing of women suddenly resonated.
Yelü Qi's smile at the corner of his mouth froze for a moment as he glanced at Jing Hengbo
However, what is she doing with a stick? Could it be that she is performing with it? Such a beautiful woman, what a shame to ruin the scenery
The expressions of the onlookers gradually shifted from confusion to a slight flush, and their eyes began to sparkle.
Based on intuition, any person who encounters Jing Hengbo may likely face difficulties; instinctively, he suddenly felt very reluctant for these two individuals to meet.
The flamboyance of others remains restrained, marked by a fear and submission to the rules of this world; yet her flamboyance is utterly unrestrained, shattering the iron walls and barriers of this world with a mere gesture
Yelü Qi sternly declared, "What is all this fuss about! The dances of the Great Yan are always like this. By the way, what are you all doing here? Shouldn't you be on guard in all directions? Isn't it possible that the enemy will take the opportunity to sneak in? Moreover, I instructed you to constantly relay the movements of Gongyin. Who gave you permission to be idle here? Hurry up!"
The supple body stretched into a line, resembling a fiery red serpent. The safety shorts beneath the skirt were also a vivid red, and the men's gasps nearly swept the stage away in an instant
The cheers erupted like an explosion, igniting this small space. The wild shouts and raised arms converged into a sea of excitement. Busy Yelü Qi continuously swished the leaves in his hands, shooting at those overly excited individuals trying to climb onto the stage, trimming away strands of hair, yet surprisingly, no one noticed.
The Jing family's iron rod dance reached its climax almost instantaneously
Everyone began to feel that such music and such dance were the perfect match in the human realm
Behind the tent, a group of women knelt in unison, reciting as per Jing Hengbo's request. Observing the excitement of the men outside the tent, they were somewhat taken aback
There are gaps in the wooden countertop, and Jing Hengbo inserts a flat-ended stick into the gap to secure it
Isn't it said that a new song and dance will be released today, while also competing for the night passage rights of the newly arrived most beautiful girl, Manyun?
Not far away, there are also people whispering under a large tree
This body ... ... '' A guard's face turned as red as blood, quickly covering his face, yet leaving behind a large gap through which one could peek.
Yelü Qitu rested his chin on his hand, gazing at Jing Hengbo with great interest, and waved his hand dismissively
The harmonious chanting and calling of the women endow this dance with the ultimate simplicity and profound meaning—invitation, waiting, and shouting. It resonates with the surge of blood, summons the ferocious beast hidden deep within, and anticipates a bloodthirsty capture
Are you not leaving, sir?
"Jump! Jump!" A young gentleman suddenly leaped up from his seat, squeezed through the crowd, and stumbled to the front of the stage. He pulled out a stack of banknotes and slammed them onto the stage, saying, "Jump quickly! I will reward you! Reward you!"
Having lived in the wilderness for over twenty years, I have encountered countless women, many of whom are strikingly beautiful. Yet, none have ever possessed such a vivid presence as hers, boldly claiming her space, elegantly proclaiming her existence, while exuding an abundance of charm.
On the tree, Yelü Qi had grabbed a large handful of innocent branches when he heard the report from the guards: "Lord Yuyuan, the National Master, has already entered the territory of the Great Yan!"
This action... a guard beside him looked dazed
Or use leaves to bury the woman on stage who is performing an astonishing act that leaves people both shocked and anxious
Such complex emotions arise solely from encountering the new queen who is not on the dial at www.hetushu.com
Everyone looked up, their eyes brightening
Gong Yin actually came personally from a thousand miles to welcome her. For a person like him to encounter such a remarkable woman, what kind of outcome would arise
Vivid colors of the wind swirl before people's eyes, while their minds seem to roar with surging flames and gusts of wind
The leaves rustled suddenly, and Yelü Qihuo, who had been lying down, sat up abruptly, almost falling off due to the sudden movement
Ah... ah... ah... The women's voices grew louder and more urgent, their extreme monotony instead sharpening the focus of the listeners. Everyone's hearts began to race, one heart was gently stirred, then vigorously provoked, and the blood throughout their bodies seemed to surge in tandem with the rising pitch of the sound. Images flashed through their minds, of the Doukou Tower, the willows in the spring breeze, the golden tents with embroidered bedding, and the fragrant white jade.
The young woman, Manyun, from the courtyard of "The Phoenix Comes to Rest," had been dancing just now, but she has not come out from behind the scenes for quite a while. The audience waiting below has gradually grown impatient.
Indeed, it is novel
Everyone take a look before we discuss further
... ...
The guards were driven down from the tree, looking back three times with each step, wailing as they walked: You clearly said we would all watch together!
More people are focusing their attention on the woman's attire, as the rare bright red wrap dress tightly accentuates her curves. Every inch of her undulations is a beautifully crafted line that withstands scrutiny
Eventually, the courtyard became quiet; the men opened their mouths, wanting to exclaim in awe at the captivating dance, yet fearing that their shouts would disrupt the rhythm of the song and dance. They could only breathe rapidly, extending their hands from a distance, their eyes filled with eager longing
"National Master, should we proceed with ... ... now"
Moreover, not to mention the short skirts and short sleeves, the exposed arms and legs, the skin radiant and smooth, slender yet not bony
On stage, the scenery flows like waves, sliding down like a snake, executing a spin while balancing on one leg.
"And the illustrated book? Are we leaving now?" The guards were taken aback, "Aren't we going with the queen?"
Such a rare treasure should be left for those destined to enjoy it... Yelü Qi's lips curled into a mysterious smile, yet he did not rise; instead, he comfortably leaned back.
... ... ''
The music suddenly changed
He never imagined that a woman who was as weak as a chicken would cause him to repeatedly falter and passively respond to her attacks
Silver notes flutter like butterflies, swirling chaotically in the sky, yet no one bothers to pick them up. Jing Hengbo does not even glance at them, while a group of people rushes forward to beat him: "Damn you! You're blocking my view! Get lost!"
As for the dance to be performed... it's pole dancing... oh no, it's iron rod dancing
However, these local bumpkins have never seen it either
Hey, where is everyone? How did they just disappear while jumping around?
This is her dance prop, and it is also her weapon. In case something goes wrong, she still relies on this stick for protection
This dance doesn't seem particularly remarkable; it is merely a variation of a few movements, and I have grown tired of it long ago
Yelü Qi unfolded the letter. During the first reading, he was distracted, occasionally glancing towards the direction of the scenery and the waves. Gradually, his expression began to grow serious as he focused on reading the letter. Once he finished, he folded the letter, which silently vanished in the palm of his hand. His complexion changed from a slight flush to a somber pallor.
Jing Hengbo pouted, picked up a half-face feathered mask to wear, grabbed a prepared iron rod, and lifted the curtain to step out
... ...
She had never imagined that without dazzling dances, exposed skin, provocative movements, or frivolous music, the mere sound produced by the collective voices of women could stir one's blood.
Master of the Nation! Master of the Nation! The guards who were sent out to gather information have returned, yet the usually sharp-eared and sharp-eyed Master of the Nation did not hear them calling out three times
At the peak of the crowd's emotional revelry
He suddenly felt a strong sense of anticipation
Upon realizing this, he felt a bit agitated
