Chapter 91: Dance, Wine

Bai Xue’s fingers slowly stroked every part of the painting. This painting was too perfect; it was simply exactly like her real self, without any difference.

Slowly putting away the painting, Bai Xue turned around and left.

Hah… these men, don’t they all only care about appearances? They speak of true feelings, but for the sake of profit and power, they can abandon women without hesitation.

The newly arrived zither player looked at her with a gaze no different from other men; he only lusted after her skin.

As time passed day by day, Luo Feng’s painting was finally completed. Looking at Bai Xue dancing gracefully on the paper, Luo Feng picked up his brush, wanting to write a few words, but he always felt there was no way to start.

His hand froze in the air for a long time. In the end, Luo Feng rolled up the painting scroll and put it away.

Time arrived at autumn. Luo Feng still had not found Jin Nian. He had originally planned to leave long ago, but he wanted to wait until the plot happened, help Bai Xue survive the crisis, and then leave the Capital City of Yan Kingdom.

Luo Feng could not help but feel some headache. On one hand, Bai Xue was too stubborn and would disbelieve any man. On the other hand, the world was so big; where should he go to search for Jin Nian?

Luo Feng felt that Xiao Meng would not give him a mission that was impossible to complete, but as for where the key to completing the mission lay, Luo Feng simply could not figure it out.

On this day, it was again the day for Bai Xue to take the stage to dance. Whether they were royal nobles or wealthy merchants in the Capital City, even if they had to spend a hundred taels of gold, they all had to come to watch the Snow Woman’s dance.

Luo Feng had a premonition that the plot was about to start.

Luo Feng found a position behind Gao Jianli, picked up a pot of wine, sat down casually, and drank alone.

On the Flying Snow Jade Flower Stage, Bai Xue’s graceful figure was presented before everyone’s eyes through the curtain’s light gauze. Even though it was just a side silhouette, that perfect and well-proportioned figure to the extreme had already made countless people intoxicated.

Gao Jianli’s zither music slowly sounded, and the candlelight around the stage lit up one by one accompanying the music. At this moment, the sound of Bai Xue’s flute also harmonized with the zither music.

A song of Bai Xue made countless people immerse themselves in an atmosphere of sadness.

The zither music and the flute music cooperated with abnormal tacit understanding. Luo Feng felt some jealousy for a moment and downed a big mouthful of wine fiercely.

Snowflakes began to float from the sky. Bits of crystal snow white fell from the open roof above the stage. The curtain was removed at this moment. The swirling snowflakes and the blue-skirted Bai Xue reflected each other, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

Bai Xue struck a dancing pose, which increasingly highlighted her exquisite figure. Amidst the snowflakes, she looked like a white plum blossom standing proudly in the cold winter.

The sound of wine cups landing on the ground constantly rang out in the venue. Bai Xue’s beauty was sufficient to bring disaster to all beings and overturn the kingdom.

The zither music sounded again. Bai Xue danced gracefully on the Flying Snow Jade Flower Stage. Every movement was so beautiful, yet it was also full of sadness.

The golden lotuses in the pool below the Flying Snow Jade Flower Stage bloomed one by one with Bai Xue’s dance, looking like a beautiful painting scroll.

“Pa, pa, pa…” A round of applause came, breaking this artistic mood and interrupting the music and dance.

Yan Yi, reeking of alcohol, forcefully smashed his wine cup on the ground and shouted: “Which bastard disturbed my elegant mood?”

Teams of soldiers walked in from outside Feixue Pavilion. In the middle, a giant sedanan carried by eight people was extremely eye-catching.

As soon as Yan Yi saw the giant sedanan, his drunkenness instantly vanished. He knelt on the ground in a flustered manner and said, “Subordinate Yan Yi did not know that Yan Chun Jun had arrived. I have offended you. Please, Yan Chun Jun, spare my life.”

Yan Chun Jun, the Uncle of the King of Yan, was one person below and ten thousand above. Except for the King of Yan, he could control the life and death of anyone in the Yan Kingdom.

Yan Chun Jun’s finger stopped tapping the armrest. A Black-clad Man suddenly appeared behind Yan Yi, controlled Yan Yi, and then, a general placed his long sword on Yan Yi’s neck.

“Yan Chun Jun, spare my life!” Yan Yi begged for mercy, trembling all over.

The voice of Yan Chun Jun came from the sedanan, “Offending me is naturally a capital crime. However, today is Snow Woman’s performance. Therefore, this person’s life and death will be handed over to Snow Woman to handle. His life and death is only between Snow Woman’s one thought. Snow Woman, you say, this person, kill or not kill?”

Snow Woman remained calm in the face of change and said with a smile, “Snow Woman is only a dance girl. How can I make a decision? Furthermore, the rules of Feixue Pavilion are to only discuss elegance, not state affairs.”

“Oh, so speaking like this, it is actually my fault?”

As soon as Yan Chun Jun’s voice fell, a subordinate jumped out and shouted: “How bold!”

Yan Chun Jun timely raised his hand to stop his subordinate and said with a smile, “The music and dance of the Zhao Kingdom are unparalleled under heaven. The youths of the Yan Kingdom imitate others without getting the essence, becoming a laughing stock of the seven kingdoms. But Snow Woman’s Zhao dance stands proudly above the rest. People in the world who are able to see it with their own eyes have no regrets in this life.”

Yan Chun Jun slowly poured a cup of fine wine, slowly took a sip, and then signaled his servant to present a cup of fine wine to Snow Woman, “Fine wine matches a beauty. This wine is unparalleled under heaven, and it is worthy of Snow Woman.”

Many spectators had been as silent as cicadas in winter since Yan Chun Jun arrived. At this moment, seeing Yan Chun Jun bestow wine, they all felt regret in their hearts.

Everyone in the Capital City knew that whichever woman received wine from Yan Chun Jun, it meant that Yan Chun Jun had set his eyes on her entire person.

Everyone stared dead at Snow Woman. Would she… accept this cup of wine?

Under everyone’s gaze, Snow Woman slowly took the wine cup, and then spoke, “Snow Woman’s dance being able to get Yan Chun Jun’s appreciation is Snow Woman’s luck. Feixue Pavilion receiving Yan Chun Jun’s grand visit is Feixue Pavilion’s honor. Snow Woman will use this cup of wine to thank Yan Chun Jun on behalf of Feixue Pavilion.”

As soon as the words fell, Bai Xue poured the entire cup of wine onto the Flying Snow Jade Flower Stage.

Yan Chun Jun’s palm slowly clenched tight, and his complexion was gloomy, but very soon he returned to his smiling appearance and spoke, “Every city has a legend. Moreover, this is the Capital City of the Yan Kingdom. The legend of this city is Snow Woman’s Ling Bo Flying Swallow Dance. I wonder if I have the honor to appreciate it?”

The crowd had just started to admire Snow Woman’s wit, but as a result, Yan Chun Jun prepared to directly use force. For a moment, they sweated for Snow Woman again.

Snow Woman maintained a long silence, and then slowly spoke, “Since Yan Chun Jun wants to appreciate it, Snow Woman will naturally obey. It is just that Snow Woman once swore that I would never dance this dance in front of others, otherwise there will definitely be bloodshed.”

“Hehehe… definitely bloodshed?” Yan Chun Jun smiled gently, “That is also fine. In that case, Snow Woman, please go to the residence to dance. The residence is quiet and elegant, with no outsiders.”

After speaking, Yan Chun Jun directly shouted, “Someone, go invite Snow Woman to the residence.”

“Yes.”

Two brothers walked out from the crowd, step by step approaching Snow Woman, “Please, Snow Woman, go to the residence.”

Luo Feng swallowed the last mouthful of wine and slowly stood up. Gao Jianli was really able to hold his breath, but seeing Bai Xue being bullied like this, he could not endure it anymore.

Just as the two were about to reach out and grab Snow Woman, they suddenly discovered that a white-robed figure had appeared in front of them. His appearance was delicate, like a scholar.

“What person, dares to block us!”

Luo Feng gave an evil and charming smile, “Feixue Pavilion rules, anyone who wants Snow Woman to go to their residence to dance must make an appointment three days in advance.”

Behind the curtain, Gao Jianli, who had already stood up, slowly sat down again…
