Chapter 35


    Chapter 35 – Number One Miss Beauty — Yue Lengxin


    After the brothel keeper left the stage, snowkes started to fall everywhere. The stage dimmed slightly, just like the falling snow on a winter night, bringing about a trace of loneliness.


    Right at this moment, music started to y as a white robed woman descended from the air. With her cotton white clothing dancing beautifully with the wind, it was as though a fairy had descended. Snowkes fell around the woman and they had yet tond on the ground before they thereupon started to dance.


    Following that, the woman’s slender, lily-white hands started to fabricate into different kinds of beautiful shapes and forms such as the proud yet beautiful peac.o.c.k and the sky-soaring phoenix!


    She moved her slender waist and legs, dancing elegantly. This dance brought a light sense of quiet solitude, resembling the imprisonment of Change’e[1] in that vast cold pce. Every movement brought along a thick longing and destion.


    This wasn’t a secr dance, but one that only existed in the Heavens — its every movement was able to stun the hearts of the people! Even the Jing Hong dance[2] was not enough of a use to describe the beauty of this dance!


    Everyone all watched to the point of being dazed. The woman’s faze was being hidden by a white veil, yet just based on that captivating figure and those dance steps that arouse one’s soul alone were sufficient for the audience to go crazy!


    The Number One Miss Beauty’s reputation was indeed well-deserved!


    After the dance was finished, the entire room fell into an unusual silence. All people present were dumbfounded, staring nkly at the white robed woman on stage. They hadpletely forgotten to react, because their senses have yet to wake up from her performance.


    The brothel keeper came up with a smile, “Next, our Miss Yue Lengxin will handpick a young master to be her privileged guest. I wonder who will have this kind of honor?”


    “Miss Yue will be mine tonight!” A young master donned in luxurious clothing eximed, his eyes were of disdain as he looked towards other people. “I’m the son of the Left Prime Minister, Wo Buyi! If any of you dare topete with me, my father will let you die a painful death!”


    When they heard this name, everyone restrained back to the point their faces were red. They wanted tough, but couldn’t. They all had this thought through their heads: To think I, Malevolence’s son is, in fact, Injustice! [3]


    At longst, they finally understood that, as it turns out, malevolence and injustice belong to the same family!


    Zi Moyan stared at that arrogant and despotic young man and coldly inquired: “He’s Wo Buren’s son?”


    Zi Haoran nodded his head, answering, “That’s right. I’ve seen Wo Buyi before. He is indeed the person himself. I have only heard that this Wo Buren’s character is lecherous and avaricious. Moreover, he considers everyone else to be beneath him. Sure enough, it’s indeed so from the looks of it.”


    After Zi Haoran came to, they seemed to havee here to conduct formal business, so why were they watching this dance performance?


    “Little Brother Mo, we have already wasted enough time. What are we supposed to do next?”


    “Wait.” Zi Moyan answered impa.s.sively.


    “Ah? Why the heck do we have to wait?” Zi Haoran didn’t understand. Just what does this lil’ bro of his want to do?


    Yue Ran waved the fan back and forth in his hand, his expression carrying a trace of praise. “This Number One Miss Beauty’s t.i.tle is indeed well-deserved!”


    Although he hadplimented this Yue Lengxin, yet his gentle eyes were ice-cold with its depth a bottomless pit.


    Yue Lengxin didn’t bother with Wo Buyi, who was currently making a fuss out of nothing. She slightly raised her head, looking towards the private room where Zi Moyan and co. were in. She raised her jade-like hand and pointed, “I want him to be my privileged guest!”


    Everyone’s gazed followed the direction where Yue Lenxin’s finger had pointed and saw one beautiful youth wearing a face of indifference.


    This youth’s beauty, that had emitted from the depth of ‘his’ soul, were not in the least bit inferior to Yue Lengxin. With a cold temperament from head to toe expressing ‘his’ grace and dignity, that exceedingly refined countenance, both peerless physique and appearance (respectively) that left the world in its wake were imprinted into people’s memories after a nce, making them hard to forget.


    Zi Haoran was looking to where Yue Lengxin was pointed as well, but this seemed to be referring to Little Brother Mo! What was going on? Why did the Miss Beauty took a fancy to ‘him’?!


    Seeing this scene, Yue Ran’s expression didn’t falter, though the eyes he used to look at Zi Moyan added a hint of scrutiny and curiosity.
