Consort Liu performed a dance called "Green Mountains and Clear Waters," her graceful movements stunning the audience and earning thunderous applause.
The judges were so excited that they gave it a top-notch rating.
Without a doubt, she received the highest rating of the entire event.
In the private room of the top tier, Jiang Huai'an ate melon seeds while praising Chu Yu with admiration: "Junior sister, your makeup skills are really amazing. You directly helped Consort Liu get such a high rating and win the beauty pageant. You can become a makeup artist instead of a metaphysician."
Chu Yu took a sip of tea and calmly explained, "I can't compare to professional makeup artists. Actually, my makeup skills are just average. I only went to a high-end makeup institution to learn how to do Liu Fei's makeup well these past two days."
Jiang Huai'an couldn't help but give her a thumbs up: "Junior sister, you are so dedicated. No wonder you can get 5-star reviews and such high rewards for every order."
Chu Yu smiled and said, "If you want to do a good job and get rich, you naturally have to be dedicated."
Song Ze also praised it.
As Fu Yunche listened to their praises, his gaze towards Chu Yu was full of admiration and affection.
Chu Yu is serious and hardworking, and she can do well in any job.
It's really likable.
After all the contestants finished their performances, Consort Liu received the highest rating. Rakshasa Ghost King publicly announced that Consort Liu was the champion of this beauty pageant, while Consort Yu ranked second.
Consort Liu turned the tables and successfully overpowered Consort Yu, her eyes and brows radiating smugness.
Consort Yu was furious, her face turning ashen. She knew that Consort Liu had received such a high rating only because of Chu Yu's help.
She turned her gaze to Chu Yu, who was sitting in the VIP room, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes. Suddenly, an idea came to her, and a sinister smile curled at the corner of her lips.
After the beauty pageant ended, Consort Liu and Consort Yu returned backstage. Consort Liu, as the champion of this competition, received a generous reward, and everyone surrounded her to congratulate her.
She was all smiles, radiating brilliance.
Chu Yu, her makeup artist, came backstage to congratulate her.
Consort Liu grasped Chu Yu's hand and generously introduced her to everyone: "This Miss Chu is a delivery girl from the Underworld. Not only is she highly skilled, but her makeup skills are also superb. She did my makeup, and I owe my championship win to her."
The way people looked at Chu Yu changed, especially the beautiful ladies who became enthusiastic towards her.
These are all big spenders! Chu Yu smiled and took the opportunity to advertise: "If you need anything in the future, you can place an order with the Underworld's Underworld Group. Anything that exists in the human world can be delivered to you."
"OK!"
Thanks to Chu Yu's advertising efforts, the Underworld Clan has successfully established a foothold in Youdu City.
As everyone was chatting happily, a voice suddenly cried out from behind: "Oh no! Consort Yu's divine tablet has disappeared!"
Everyone was startled and turned around in unison. They saw Consort Yu walking over with a worried expression and saying, "The divine oracle tablet that His Highness the Ghost King gave me is missing. Have you seen it?"
As everyone knows, the Oracle Token is the Ghost King's most precious treasure. With it, one can go to various places in Youdu City and command the Ghost King's army. There are only two in the entire Youdu City, one for Consort Liu and one for Consort Yu.
Now that the oracle tablet is lost, this is a huge problem.
Everyone shook their heads repeatedly: "We didn't see it."
Xiao Lan, standing behind Yu Fei, looked at Chu Yu with a gloomy gaze and said sarcastically, "Chu Yu is the only outsider in the backstage area. Could it be that she stole the Divine Oracle Token?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes immediately fell on Chu Yu.
Consort Liu's face darkened, and she immediately defended Chu Yu: "Nonsense! Miss Chu was invited by me. How could she possibly steal Consort Yu's divine oracle? Don't make baseless accusations."
Xiao Lan scoffed, "Whether it's a frame-up or not, we'll find out by searching her."
Consort Liu was furious and was about to retaliate when Chu Yu stopped her, raising an eyebrow and saying, "She's right, the oracle tablet is indeed with me."
She took out a black token from her pocket, much to everyone's surprise.
Xiao Lan became arrogant: "See? See? The token is indeed with her. She's a thief."
Consort Yu feigned anger and pointed at Chu Yu, shouting, "You thief, how dare you steal from me! Guards, arrest her and throw her into the dungeon!"
The ghost messengers behind her rushed forward menacingly, trying to seize Chu Yu, but Chu Yu coldly rebuked them: "Stop, I still have something to say."
Consort Yu looked at her coldly: "You're about to die, what else is there to say?"
Chu Yu glanced at her coldly, then calmly took out a talisman from her pocket. She chanted an incantation, and the talisman emitted a beam of white light, which transformed into a virtual screen in the air, displaying the scene of Chu Yu coming backstage.
On her way here, Chu Yu was deliberately bumped into by a maid who, without Chu Yu noticing, used magic to secretly slip the oracle tablet into her pocket.
Seeing this, everyone was shocked, and the arrogant Consort Yu and Xiao Lan changed their expressions.
Chu Yu said coldly, "This is a recording talisman, just like a surveillance camera in the human world. It can monitor what happens to its owner in real time. After I came to Youdu City, I have been carrying it with me to prevent accidents. I didn't expect it to come in handy now."
Everyone saw it; someone deliberately put the oracle tablet in my pocket to frame me, not that I intentionally stole it.
Consort Liu looked at the maid in the virtual image and quickly recognized her. She looked sharply at Consort Yu and said coldly, "Consort Yu, that maid is from your palace, isn't she? You deliberately framed Miss Chu."
Consort Yu was startled and hurriedly denied it: "That maid is not from my palace. Moreover, the scene that Chu Yu released with the talisman may not be real. It may be something she made up. Don't be fooled by her."
Chu Yu had guessed that she would say that, so she wasn't afraid and retorted firmly: "Since you don't trust me, then let the Ghost King decide."
Consort Yu felt guilty and repeatedly refused, saying, "Such a small matter, there's no need to trouble Your Highness, the Ghost King."
Consort Liu saw through her guilty conscience and sneered, "Miss Chu is an employee of the Underworld. This concerns the reputation of the Underworld. How can it be a trivial matter? Someone, go and invite His Highness over."
"yes!"
Xiao Cui quickly left to invite the Rakshasa Ghost King.
Not long after, the Rakshasa Demon King arrived backstage with his guards, exuding an imposing aura.
Consort Liu quickly stepped forward and told him what had happened.
After listening, the Rakshasa Demon King looked sharply at Chu Yu: "Did you steal the Oracle Token?"
Chu Yu met his gaze with composure and certainty, saying, "No, I came to Youdu City this time only at the invitation of Consort Liu to help out. I am not interested in anything else, and I would never steal Consort Yu's divine oracle. This is my image talisman. Your Highness can have your men check it to see if it is a forgery."
