The boatman seemed to have wanted to leave for a while, and hurriedly rowed towards the shore.

The cruise ship sailed through gales, waves, thunder, and torrential rain. It was pitch black all around, and the familiar West Lake felt like sailing on a vast ocean in a storm.

The passengers in the cabin kept asking how much longer until they reached the shore, but the rain and thunder were so loud that the boatman couldn't hear anything.

Only after reaching the shore did the boatman wipe the rain off his face and finally feel a little relieved.

Passengers with umbrellas ran quickly, while those without hesitated for a moment. Some rushed ashore to find shelter from the rain, while others simply hid inside their cabins, hoping the downpour would end soon.

Yang Qinglan took out the invisibility lantern and hung it inside the cabin, which served both as a light source and a means of concealing her figure.

“Keep drinking, keep dancing, Yaochi, it’s your turn,” Li Changzhou said.

"Are you still singing the White Snake series?" Yaochi asked with a smile, not shy at all.

"Alright, alright, you just sing... Think of something yourself, but it has to be appropriate for the occasion."

Lightning flashed, and a series of thunderclaps resounded in the sky, as if the world had been shattered.

Amidst the deafening thunder, the song of Yaochi rang out: "When will the moon be clear and bright? I raise my cup to ask the blue sky. I wonder what year it is tonight in the celestial palace. I want to ride the wind and return, but I fear the jade towers and crystal palaces are too cold at such heights. I dance with my shadow, how can it compare to being in the human world?"

Faye Wong's rendition of "Wishing We Last Forever" is melodious and beautiful, and her voice is impeccable.

Li Changzhou, Yang Qinglan, and Li Qianxia all experienced the pleasure of drinking and enjoying songs and dances at Yaochi.

It can only be said that Yaochi truly deserves to be called a favored concubine.

"I could listen to Sister Yao sing for a whole month without eating or drinking." Li Qianxia was full of admiration and praise, saying that if she were the emperor, the country would surely perish.

"Thank you." Yaochi smiled, her beautiful eyes glancing at Li Changzhou. "Don't tell me it's over yet; I haven't heard you sing."

Li Changzhou looked at Yang Qinglan: "Still a duet? She sang Faye Wong's song, so we'll sing Faye Wong's 'Because of Love'?"

"I sang 'Sharing the Moon Across a Thousand Miles' because of the Su Causeway, not because of love!" Yaochi retorted.

"It's just for the occasion, isn't it? It's all Faye Wong."

"No, and why should you two sing a duet? Each of you must sing one!" Yaochi said with a smile, her slightly domineering yet coquettish demeanor irresistible to any man.

"Agreed!" Li Qianxia started eating the grilled squid again. Half of the dried, golden-brown squid tentacles were still sticking out of her lips, looking very tempting.

"Today, your brother Changzhou will show you what I'm capable of!"

“Alright,” Yaochi poured him wine and laughed, “Let the three younger sisters see just how amazing Brother Changzhou really is.”

"I'm the younger sister," Li Qianxia declared, asserting her dominance.

Li Changzhou unleashed his trump card – "Absolute Devotion".

With just a few words, Yaochi applauded, Yang Qinglan smiled, and Li Qianxia cheered with pride.

It was dark for three days, and it rained heavily for three days. The West Lake flooded everything.

That day, Bai Suzhen, accompanied by Xiaoqing, whose face was as pale as a corpse, entered the cabin again.

Li Changzhou glanced at the two of them, and before Bai Suzhen could speak, he smiled and said:

"Lady White Snake, take your sister and step back."

The dark West Lake in Lin'an, Lingyin Temple on the north mountain and Jingci Temple on the south mountain were bathed in Buddhist light, and the bells rang out with a thunderous sound.
