145 One by one official dance (2/2)

The audience was still silent. Ao Yun started sweating. He hesitated for a moment. Then he suddenly thrust his spear at me and said, ”Miao Miao guard against the spear.”

I didn't understand what he was doing. I could only stop his attack with Breaking Heaven Claws. I didn't expect that Ao Yun would continue to attack. I could only continue warding off his attack. I had a moment of epiphany. I understood what he was doing. Wasn't this like the street performances I had done in the past? It was like play fighting with Shao Zhong.

As we fought, the stage was filled with flying dust and stone. All of the participating beauties were hiding in a corner. They didn't dare come out. The braver audience members started cheering. Hearing this, Ao Yun stopped his attacks. After bowing, he left the stage.

I thought I could be considered as having completed performing my talent. As I hurriedly stepped down to leave, the master of ceremonies stopped me. He said I had to stay here to accept everyone's gifts.

The judges whispered, ”What kind of performance was this?”

”Too ridiculous. Too absurd.”

Ao Yun walked to the judges. His golden eyes icily stared at those demons, and then he left without a word. After walking a few steps away, he turned around to grimly smile at the judges.

The judges changed their face. They quickly applauded together. They said that my martial art was incomparable and praised me as a model for other demons.

After being terribly frightened recently, the audience members who came up to give me pearls were very few.

Ao Yun lowered his head to whisper a few words to his attendants. As a result, box after box of pearls landed onto the stage. The stage became completely packed. I almost had no room to stand.

I helplessly looked at the master of ceremonies. He wiped away his sweat. He nodded at me to indicate that I could leave. Thus, I quickly left this unable for me to comprehend place. I walked towards Ao Yun.

Ao Yun smiled at me and said, ”Your performance was awesome. You'll definitely be able to win the prize.”

”Really?” I didn't have any confidence.

”You have to believe in my foresight.”

I didn't understand what Ao Yun was saying. The attendants that were near him secretly smiled a bit. I was too hungry to listen to him. Without regard for politeness, I sat down to sweep all of the food I liked on the table into my stomach. I quietly say there waiting for the award ceremony. I planned to leave as soon as I received the thorny skatefish.

Ao Yun was next to me. Leaning on my chair, he played with my hair. He would coil and uncoil my hair around his hand.

Time slowly passed. I waited until my heart felt impatient. They finally announced the coral beauty pageant results. First place was Pi Ling, a female mussel. Second place was Hua Rong. Third place was me.

Ao Yun didn't seemed satisfied with these results.

A judge came by to quietly apologize, ”The coral beauty pageant is this sea event of the year. All eyes were watching who wins the beauty pageant. If third prince practices favoritism, it'll be hard for us to explain. Also, Miss Pi Ling is the eldest prince's person. Miss Hua Rong is very popular among the common people. So...”

”Cease talking. It doesn't matter,” Ao Yun waved his hand to tell the judge to leave.

”Thank you third prince.” After receiving Ao Yun's forgiveness, the judge quickly left.

I happily pulled on Ao Yun's sleeve to ask, ”Did I get the thorny skatefish?”

”You'll have it,” he gently consoled me. (T/N: Does Miao Miao really need consoling?)

But when the judge had me go onto the stage to receive the prize, I only received a pink coral crown and a big gemstone. There wasn't even a shadow of my thorny skatefish. With doubts, I left the stage. But, then I saw Ao Yun smiling at me while holding a large basket of fish. My heart was satisfied and relieved. And I was ready to go home.

The master of ceremonies unexpectedly said, ”The winners of the beauty pageant must stay in the ocean floor for seven days as part of the parade and also enter the Dragon Palace to perform their arts.”

Meow wu?

I don't have time.

How could I stay here to continue performing?

What's going on?

I looked at Ao Yun with dissatisfaction. He shrugged helplessly with an innocent face.

Thus, I decided to grab the fish and run away! I don't care about understanding him anymore.
