Chapter Seventy-Two: Su Qingying's Finale Performance
"This princess has other matters to attend to, so I shall take my leave." 。As soon as this was said, the crowd below stirred with excitement. So many promotional activities had piqued their strong interest, and they all began shouting to join in.
"Quiet, please, everyone. Let's enjoy the opening performance from our celestial beings." Having said that, the audience fell silent instantly. Phoenix retreated from the stage and clapped her hands.
As a modern music beat kicked in, one by one, women in Sui Qingling's bikini designs appeared. They walked with model-like strides, standing in an orderly line on stage.
The exaggerated bikinis accentuated their perfect figures while cleverly concealing the areas that would spark imaginations. Their entrance caused a frenzy, with gasps and cheers threatening to tear the roof off the place.
As the performance progressed, the number of people flowing in and out of Heaven and Earth continued to rise, showing no signs of slowing down.
If Su Qingying hadn't had the foresight to hire several bodyguards with martial arts skills in advance, I'm afraid they would have ruined the stage.
"Master, your methods are truly effective! In just one night, the income from Heaven and Earth has tripled. At this rate, it won't be long before Heaven and Earth becomes the first renowned brothel in the Imperial City!" Phoenix now admired Su Qingying with all her heart, grateful she had chosen the right person to follow.
“Well, of course, this is just the beginning. There will be a flood of silver pouring into our pockets in the future, and it won't be a problem to make money every day. Phoenix, how are things going downstairs” Su Qingying had anticipated this outcome. She proudly raised her chin, delighted inside; the effect was even better than she had expected.
She was wearing a light blue floral gauze skirt with pleats tonight. Her hair was styled in an elegant chignon, and the glass hairpin on her hair reflected a soft glow. The tassels hanging from it swayed gracefully as she moved.
A pair of obsidian-like phoenix eyes were blazing with spirit, full of life. They were veiled by a light gauze, as if a fairy had descended to the mortal world. Their beauty was breathtaking and captivating.
Sister Feng smiled and nodded. Now she fully trusted Su Qingying, opening her mouth to say: "Master, everything is ready, we can start at any time."
Upon hearing this, Su Qingying curled her lips. The finale of the night hadn't arrived yet.
Even the most innovative performances will eventually become stale, and audiences can experience aesthetic fatigue. To keep them engaged long-term, the best approach is to create a mysterious hook that piques their curiosity.
As the performance drew to a close, the beautiful actresses gradually left the stage. Just then, the lights in the heavenly realm suddenly dimmed. A thin white gauze curtain descended upon the stage, and a melodious string sound rose with the hazy mist.
The audience held their breath, eyes glued to the stage, wondering what kind of program would amaze them this time.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the white curtain was gently pulled up. Su Qingying in a blue brocade dress, with a light gauze veil covering her face, sat calmly on the stage holding a guitar. Her clothes fluttered without wind, like a dreamlike illusion, as if a fairy who had strayed into the mortal world.
"It's her! Yun Ling of Luoyue Palace!" Xuan Yuan Luo Chen was out incognito tonight, hoping to catch a glimpse of the celestial beauty.
He wore a pale purple robe embroidered with cloud patterns and gold thread, seated in the elegant room that felt like heaven on earth. His eagle-like eyes were fixed on Su Qingying on the stage, "How could she be here"
"Brother, are you sure that's Yun Ling Yun Ling has been missing for months. Could it be that you've mistaken someone else" Xuan Yuan Mo was taken aback, frowning as he looked at Xuan Yuan Luo Chen.
"I'm certain!" Xuan Yuan Luo Chen said firmly, even though she was covered by a veil, the woman's temperament and eyes clearly resembled the one in his mind. He wouldn't be mistaken.
His eyes narrowed slightly, a sharp glint flashed in Xuen Yuan Luo Chen's eyes, Yun Ling, after capturing you for so long, this time I will definitely not let you go!
Su Qingying still didn't know that she had been targeted unknowingly, nor did she know that she was mistaken for someone else by Xuanyuan Locheng.
She had slender, graceful hands that plucked the strings of the zither with delicate care. Her voice, soft as the sound of the music, began to weave a melodious song:
Outside the inn, on the blue stone street, you wear a slight look of fear.
The rouge cannot conceal your sorrow, asking when we shall meet again.
A scroll of poetry written through the night, filled with verses of fate.
With a tail drooping in sadness, the thought lingers, like camel bells jingling along the Silk Road.
To entrust the long years, remember the encounter that year.
A half-masked smile, a fleeting glance as they brushed shoulders...
Her voice was melodious and enchanting, captivating everyone present. Even Xuanyuan Lòchén, gazing at her, had a complex look in his eyes.
Blackheart Night, you think she could be Yun Ling That's too coincidental, isn't it Since she disappeared months ago, no one has seen her again. If she really is Yun Ling, why would she come to the mortal realm After all, her identity…
At another table in the Heavenly Human Realm, Jun Li Ye and Shangguan Jing Hong stood tall and graceful. They had come to join the festivities, but they never expected such a big surprise here.
Jun Li's handsome face flashed with a hint of surprise, his eyes flickered, and he said, "Isn't it just a matter of waiting for her to finish"
"Well, that makes sense. Then let's watch the show seriously now." Shangguan Jinghong closed her jade bone fan, smiled, and stopped talking. She picked up a fine cup of tea from the table and sipped it.
The waning moon and crow's lament mark the story's end, a pale reflection across several cycles of rebirth.
Tears flow like the winter snow at Yangguan pass, Love runs deep, ink will not fade.
The pauses in love are so beautiful, who would bear to resent anyone
Love will melt the snow in one's heart, I have spent my life hoping for a full moon.
As the last note of the lyrics faded, Su Qingying's performance came to an end, leaving the lingering sound of the piano.
As the song ended, Su Qingying stopped singing. Before anyone could savor her beautiful and melodious voice, she quietly left the stage with her guitar in her arms. When they came to their senses, there was no trace of her on the stage. The audience erupted in an uproar.
Faced with the chaotic scene inside, Phoenix Lady had to step out from backstage to control it. She smiled and said, "Miss Su is a qin player specially invited by us from the heavens. Miss Su's musical talent is outstanding. Everyone, please be quiet. From now on, Miss Su will come to the heavenly realm every fifteenth day of the month to play a piece. If you like it, you can come and watch her performance."
"If I can still see Miss Su after this, then I'll come every day."
"Indeed, Miss Su is not only beautiful but also has a beautiful singing voice."
"... "
Seeing Su Qingying had already left the stage, Jun Liye and Shangguan Jinghong also quietly left the private room to go backstage for a glimpse of Su Qingying's true face under the veil.
On the backstage of heaven and earth, Shangguan Jinghong stopped a woman. With his jade bone fan, he gently lifted her chin. His handsome face smiled faintly, instantly making the woman blush. "Little beauty, please tell me, where is Miss Su now We have something to find her, so please let us know."
The woman gazed at his handsome face, her cheeks flushed red. "Miss Su left just now, I don't know where she went," she said softly.
Hearing this, Shangguan Jinghong raised an eyebrow, "Gone Little beauty, are you sure you're not lying to me"me..." Gu Yun elderly choked with emotion, staring blankly at Su Qingying with wide eyes.Su Qingying glared back defiantly, a look of dissatisfaction on her face, "What do you have to say You have not...
