Chapter 223 - Make Everyone Fall for Her, Dancing at the Banquet (2/2)

Mo Xuetong gracefully rose. “I’ll do what you requested.”

As smooth as the flow of water, the music of Qin gurgled between his slim fingers. Unlike Ling Fengyan or Mo Xuetong, Bai Yihao’s Qin skill was different. His Qin piece sounded distant like an immortal overlooking people, high above in the sky. That kind of n.o.bility and feel of distance, accompanied by the marvelous Qin sound, could possess people’s souls.

It was hard to dance to such music. If one didn’t have the ability or they could barely follow the music, they would only dance awkwardly and even looked out of place.

Fifth Princess’s face softened and mockingly looked at Mo Xuetong. She fixed her eyes on Bai Yihao on the other side and looked besotted with the handsome and perfect man.

Ling Fengyan also secretly laughed. However, her attention was fixed on the wickedly attractive Feng Yuran.

Mo Xuetong started her dancing. Her dance was elegant. The exquisite dancing was accompanied by the melodious Qin music. Her slim and white hands danced as smoothly as the flow of water. She flung her long sleeves on both sides of her body. Her body also swirled with the sleeves. Her sleeves freely fluttered in the wind, which made her look like a fairy heading off for the horizon.

She turned around to smile and looked exceedingly beautiful. The thin gauze she wore flew in the wind and the beauty herself resembled jade.

The audience was lost in the dance, feeling like the scenery before their eyes were heavenly. A flower-like fairy in white danced by the celestial pool covered in snow. The gauze and short coat she wore fluttered and elegantly circled in the air like the flow of water. Her slim waist was supple like the willow branches, swinging to the rhythm of her footsteps. Her eyes were bright and teeth were white. When she smiled, she made everyone fall for her.

At the same time, the young man in snow white dress had distinct features which looked like they were carefully carved out by the maker. His handsome face could leave people breathless. Against the flying snowflakes all over the sky, when he gently smiled, he looked so pure and attractive. However, he was so innocent that you couldn’t find any flaw in him. He looked ethereal and elegant, with a hint of a smile on his lips. Like a banished immortal, he appeared extremely enticing.

The Qin stopped playing and the dance also finished. After a long while, people finally collected themselves and then broke into rapturous applause.

Such scenery only belonged to the heavenly world. How many times could they be fortunate enough to witness it?

No one imagined that Mo Xuetong could dance so skillfully. She not only danced to every beat of the Qin piece but also danced with her spark when the music got up-tempo.

Fifth Princess’s face looked terrible, sometimes livid and sometimes red with rage. However, in the end, she managed to hold back her anger.

Ling Fengyan also looked at Mo Xuetong in surprise. She could dance to that piece as well, yet couldn’t have danced as smoothly as Mo Xuetong did. Though Mo Xuetong wasn’t fully grown, the way Mo Xuetong moved was pretty attractive. She had to admit that the girl from Cloud City could match herself.

Feng Yuran languidly slouched on the chair. His face was glowing as fresh peaches and plums. He raised his lips in a wicked smile and slightly narrowed his phoenix eyes, looking somewhat evil and showy.

King Chu, Feng Yuxuan, looked away from Mo Xuetong. He twisted around to say something to a young eunuch beside him. The eunuch took the order and left.

Chen Yanyu couldn’t help exclaiming. “After Third Miss Mo’s dance, today, I finally know how beautiful a girl can be.”

Ling Mingfeng still didn’t let go and turned around to beg Luo Wenyou. “There’s such a girl in this world. Wenyou, you must introduce your cousin to me.”

After getting lost in Mo Xuetong’s dance, Luo Wenyou calmed himself now. He didn’t imagine that his weak cousin could dance like this. After this banquet, all the rumors against her would perish. Thus, he also felt happy for her. Hearing Ling Mingfeng bringing it up again, Luo Wenyou just smiled. “Mingfeng, don’t bring this up again. I heard your family would find you a wife this year. Cousin Tong is too young and not suitable for you.”

Hearing Luo Wenyou’s answer, Ling Mingfeng immediately restored. “How come she’s not suitable for me? I’m not old. And we can get engaged first. There’s no hurry.”

Chen Yanyu pursed his lips, not trying to help Ling Mingfeng save face at all. “Mingfeng, drop it. All your cousins are waiting for you. If you still don’t decide, they’ll fight over you. This time, your grandmother will find you a wife even if she has to force you. So you should just stay away from Third Miss Mo.”

Seeing Chen Yanyu embarra.s.sing him, Ling Mingfeng immediately patted on his own chest to promise and then elbowed Luo Wenyou, saying, “I’ll ask Grandmother to drive those people away once I get home. Not everyone can live in our Ding General Manor’s backyard. Wenyou, you have to help me. We’re good friends. Trust me, I’ll stay loyal to your cousin.”

After teasing Ling Mingfeng, Chen Yanyu poured Luo Wenyou a cup of tea and started to recommend himself. “You stay loyal? Wenyou, you can’t trust him. I’m more reliable. I don’t have that many cousins at home waiting to marry me. And I’m one year younger than Mingfeng, similar to her. And I don’t have to get married soon since I’m young. I can wait for her.”

Ling Mingfeng glared at Chen Yanyu. “You’re young? You’re 18. You’ll be over 20 in a few years, and I know your grandmother wants a great-grandchild more badly than my grandmother.”

Chen Yanyu retorted angrily. “If I’m old, then you’ll be even older. Look how old you are! You don’t get married just to fool those innocent girls. You’re evil!”

You Yuecheng had been watching them expressionlessly. Suddenly, he impatiently dropped his cup on the table, coldly saying, “Just another slick girl!”

Then, ignoring the two, he rose up and walked to the other side.

“What’s wrong with him?”

“Who knows? He probably got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.”

The two who had been fighting immediately calmed down and attacked aginst their common enemy.
