An Honghan turned his gaze downwards and landed on a certain little white ball.
Xi Xizhi was standing outside the corridor with three fairies. When she saw An Honghan turn his gaze over, she excitedly shook her fur, looking like she was very powerful.
“Everything is ready.” An Honghan’s cold voice rang out, followed by, “We can begin.”
"That's good then. I also hope to see an unparalleled dance." Dongfang Youyu sat up again, picked up his wine, took a sip, and seemed confident of victory.
Xi Xizhi pointed to the center of the hall, chirped twice, and pushed the three demons out.
Make our fairy race proud!
The three fairies had seen many people before, so they were not nervous at all when they reached the center of the hall.
"What music should we play?" Lynn asked Little Mink.
How could Xi Xizhi know? But if he wanted to challenge the Phoenix Soaring, then the music he played on the zither had to be excellent.
The harder the better!
Not knowing how to express herself, Xi Xizhi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and her claws pointed south...
"What are you pointing over there for?" At first, Lynn didn't understand. Looking in that direction, he saw only a sal tree.
It wasn't until Xi Xizhi pointed repeatedly several times that the little eunuch beside her finally spoke up to remind her, "Grand Eunuch, Feng Yun Diao refers to the south."
“Nan…Nan! I understand.” Lynn immediately flicked his whisk and walked towards the musicians, instructing, “The more difficult the piece they play, the better!”
After arranging these things, Xi Xizhi wiggled her little bottom and ran towards An Honghan.
Chapter Eight
An Honghan slipped one hand under the little mink's belly, picked it up, and gently stroked its fur. "Where did you find the dancer?"
These three women were definitely not from the palace, as their stunning beauty made them hard to ignore. A glint of light flashed in An Honghan's eyes as he recalled the moment the little sable transformed. His gaze returned to the women in the center of the hall; though beautiful, they possessed a hint of allure in their eyes.
"They are also...?" An Honghan didn't finish his sentence, but just half a sentence was enough for Xi Xizhi to understand his meaning.
Xi Xizhi nodded generously, shaking her head. "Chirp chirp..." It's a beautiful butterfly.
An Honghan couldn't possibly understand the little sable's language. However, from the little sable's expression, An Honghan already knew the answer: these three stunningly beautiful women were probably also demons in human form.
But where did this chubby little ferret get to know all these demons?
It's understandable that An Honghan was suspicious, because demons have a bad reputation in the mortal world; there are countless examples of people being harmed by demons. Worried that Little Mink might be corrupted in the future, An Honghan said with a deep gaze, "From now on, stay away from those shady characters, understand?"
What do you mean by "neither fish nor fowl"? Xi Xizhi didn't like hearing that! Because it was now also a member of the fairies, An Honghan's words made it seem like it was being categorized into that kind of low-class fairy faction.
In fact, fairies, like humans, are also divided into good and bad. For example, the three butterflies below have cultivated to this level by honestly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Dodging the large hand that was stroking it, Xi Xizhi angrily sat down on the table. She felt extremely uncomfortable, thinking to herself that she had gone to great lengths to seek help from the fairy, only to be bitten back by a certain emperor.
If you think it's also a worthless thing, then you don't have to keep it. It's not like Xi Xizhi can't live without it.
Despite her resentment, Xi Xizhi understood that she relied heavily on An Honghan. She was also extremely reluctant to let him go.
Realizing that his words had hurt the delicate heart of a certain ferret, An Honghan reached out and touched it with his finger.
Xi Xizhi deliberately turned her body away and ignored her.
An Honghan poked its little belly again...
"Chirp chirp..." Xi Xizhi chirped impatiently twice.
"I'm not blaming you, but I'm worried that you might meet some bad friends and get tricked into making pills. I've heard Taoist priests say that the inner cores of demons are good materials for making pills." No matter how much the little sable tantrum was, An Honghan instantly picked it up and hugged it tightly.
If An Honghan can't even handle an extremely simple-minded little sable, how could he possibly govern the entire Fengze Kingdom?
Seeing that the little sable was starting to soften, An Honghan pressed on, "Some demons achieve their cultivation by absorbing the life essence of humans. Even if you don't want to admit it, it's an undeniable fact. I'm just worried that you've gone astray. You're my pet, so shouldn't I discipline you?"
How could it possibly go astray? Xi Xizhi is a proper cultivator, and compared to those second-rate demons, Xi Xizhi is definitely a breath of fresh air in the demon world.
"Am I wrong to worry about you?" An Honghan delivered the final, devastating blow, completely extinguishing any remaining anger in the little sable's heart.
That's right, he cares about you, why are you getting angry! Xi Xizhi felt embarrassed instead. An Honghan was such a good friend, worried about its safety, how could she be angry with him! So, Xi Xizhi gently patted the back of his hand with her paw to show her apology.
An Honghan smiled. This sable's temper always came on quickly and went away just as fast.
"It's good that you understand."
The musicians below were ready, and after their final discussion, they decided to play "Butterfly Lovers." This was because the melody and rhythm of this piece were more in line with the temperament of the three women.
After hearing Lynn's report, Xi Xizhi beamed with joy, secretly marveling at how discerning those musicians were! They had seen through it all.
The light and cheerful piano music gradually began, and everyone held their breath, staring intently at the center of the hall.
The moment the three women stepped onto the stage, the crowd erupted in cheers, eagerly asking whose daughters they were, marveling at their breathtaking beauty. Many young officials stared at the three graceful figures, as if their souls had been stolen.
Only two people present were able to keep their eyes straight ahead: the first was, of course, the host, An Honghan, and the other was Dongfang Youyu, who was seated below.
Aside from a moment of surprise at the very beginning, he subsequently presented himself as a refined and gentle gentleman.
"Your Highness, what do you think? I've never heard of these three women." The guard beside him was a little confused. Women with excellent dancing skills were usually famous talented women.
With just a little inquiry, their identities would be readily known. These three women, however, seemed to have fallen from the sky; I had never seen them before, nor even heard of them.
"Let's wait and see." In any case, when things come to this, they have no other choice but to watch.
