30 Chapter 30
"I never thought that Ye Baobao, a seemingly ordinary mortal, actually possessed such a family heirloom!" A cultivator in the public hall couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder she always has such good luck!"
"Are you stupid?" Zhang Daoquan, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but roll his eyes. "The magic weapons in this world either rely on the injection of spiritual energy to operate, or rely on the superb skills of the weapon refiner to form a whole without external forces. The more bizarre ones require the sacrifice of flesh and blood or soul to practice. Have you ever heard of something that can be driven by effort alone?
"Can you change your fate with just a little hard work? Do you think the effort is equal?"
If such a good thing really existed, why would there be so many miserable people in the world who could never build a foundation in their entire lives?
The monk thought about it for a moment and felt that this was indeed a bit outrageous: "You mean, actually, that wood carving..."
"Ah, it's just an ordinary wooden sculpture. It doesn't have any special functions." Zhang Daoquan nodded. "It's just that those female cultivators have only been in the immortal sect for a month, so they don't understand it. After a while, this trick won't fool them anymore."
"Having said that, as the captain, he was able to come up with this trick to reunite the team. This Ye Baobao seems to be quite something!"
"Of course not! How could a silly woman stand out from forty contestants and become the captain?"
"I thought she looked so innocent that I was really fooled by her. I didn't expect..." A cultivator who had changed his opinion of Ye Baobao exclaimed in amazement: "It turns out that the women of the Hehuan Sect are not simple!"
The monks in front of the screen were so immersed in the content of the program that they couldn't help themselves. They empathized with the contestants who encountered various difficulties and desperate situations. The rehearsal preparation scenes filmed in this way made their favorite contestants shed the glamorous halo on the stage, giving all the audience a sweet sense of intimacy.
It turns out that a dignified young lady like Shangguan Huaijin also has things she is not good at. It turns out that a dancer as charming and beautiful as Liu Pianpian will also go off-key when singing and dancing due to uneven breathing. It turns out that the elders will also pester the young master to argue for their disciples. Everything in the Hehuan Sect seems neither scary nor evil. Instead, the way everyone works hard for their goals is so beautiful and sparkling.
In this way, seven days flew by in the passionate and funny training routines of different teams. Before we knew it, it was the day of the first performance, and the background of the show was finally changed to the familiar studio.
"Hi! Hello everyone! After seven days, we finally meet you again! From now on, the performances will be live streamed in real time. Contestants, let's say hello!"
Ning Shu still looked full of energy, and the contestants behind her were still sitting in their original seats. If they hadn't changed into performance clothes, it would have been as if they had never left.
After a lively greeting session, Ning Shu came onto the stage carrying a box of notes. She called on the captains to come forward and explained the rules of the game to the audience:
"This time, our competition is a two-on-two duel. Captains, please come forward and draw lots. The teams that draw the same pattern will become opponents. After the performance, the audience in front of the screen will vote. The team with the most votes will be the winner!"
As she explained, the six captains finished drawing lots. Shangguan Huaijin, who ranked first in popularity, and Xiao Lihua, who ranked third in popularity, were paired together. Xiao Lihua, who had been relatively calm, suddenly frowned. "I was just thinking I wouldn't be playing against the number one, but who knew I'd be so unlucky!"
Liu Pianpian drew Su Ping'er, who ranked fifth. She didn't expect that this time they would be "fellow students" under the same tutor. They looked at each other with bitter smiles. Su Ping'er already had a premonition that she would be eliminated.
After all, both of their stage performances are gorgeous and charming, and she certainly cannot compare to Liu Pianpian in this track.
Baby Ye drew Bai Ling, the sixth most popular character. Her team members didn't see much joy or disappointment on her face. She simply skipped back to her team and showed everyone the red-hot wooden statue.
"We've worked hard enough these past few days. We just need to do our best when we get on stage. We need to believe in our luck and give it our all!"
"Try your best!" Both Zhizhi and Tieying held each other's hands to encourage each other. The sight of the girls hugging each other tightly was very inspiring. Their high-spirited spirits were like soldiers about to go to the battlefield.
"Alright! Now, without further ado, let's begin the first group's competition. First up is Sister Zixiao's in-group PK, Liu Pianpian vs. Su Ping'er! Let's give Liu Pianpian a round of applause!"
Finally, Miss Pianpian is on stage! All the audience members were excited.
I wonder if their stage was drastically altered in the end, whether Zixiao managed to convince their young master, and what a stage that was repeatedly rejected would look like? The video doesn't even offer any answers to these questions!
So exciting, so curious, I really want to see it! Many monks looked reserved, but they unconsciously straightened their backs and shoulders.
Zhang Daoquan also perked up and took out a palm-sized transparent stone from his storage bag and held it flat on his chest.
His friend looked over and immediately looked puzzled: "Spirit Shadow Stone? Where did you get it? What are you going to do with it?"
"Hehe, I can't get the big ones from the Hehuan Sect, but small ones like this are easy to get." Zhang Daoquan cast a few spells to make the Spirit Shadow Stone float in the air. He sat behind the stone and adjusted the angle for the best recording.
"Don't underestimate it. For this moment, I even specially engraved a self-created formation on it that can make the recording clearer!
It's a pity that the storage is too small. I can only record the images of an incense stick of time before it is almost full. I can only choose the one I'm most looking forward to, Miss Pian Pian, to record. I can take it out and revisit it anytime and anywhere when I want to watch it later, so I don't have to travel thousands of miles to the city that never sleeps to queue up when I want to watch it later.
Friend:......
You can even think of this method. Could it be that you are really a genius?
On the screen, the picture suddenly went dark after Liu Pianpian's name was announced. After a moment of silence, a melodious and graceful sound of the pipa gradually rose. The emotion was already there before the melody was formed, and it instantly reminded people of the cruise ships and pleasure boats with dim lights on Acacia Lake. The audience seemed to be able to smell the sweet and intoxicating scent of rouge, and a beam of light was cast down when everyone was in a trance.
It was not the explicit scene that everyone had imagined. There was a paper screen with a crabapple blossom painted on it blocking the stage. The graceful figures of the women were faintly visible behind the screen. The woman in the middle moved lightly with lotus steps, and the figure on the screen danced gently like a butterfly.
"She is a ray of setting sun..."
A soft and lingering song sounded, and the beauties behind the screen swayed their waists, revealing charming curves. Their slender arms and bodies were attached to the screen, extending outward like snakes in time with the rhythm. Finally, a pair of hands with red nails grasped the edge of the screen, and the screen was pushed and rotated 180 degrees. The women hiding behind it finally poked their heads out.
They wore short sleeves that only reached their arms. The thin sleeves could not cover their fair arms at all. Colorful tassels hung from their waists, and the jade tassels jingled with their movements. Everyone made coordinated movements, placing Liu Pianpian in the center of the stage like a star surrounding the moon.
With her toes tapping lightly, her waist shaking, and her fingertips gently blooming like flowers, Liu Pianpian in the center of the stage is like a gorgeous rose. Her red skirt slowly blooms as she spins, pushing the song to a climax.
"Come on, have fun~, there's plenty of time~"
The singing, which was a little breathless due to dancing, reminded people of the soft Wu dialect of the Jiangnan water town. The sweet and drawn-out ending seemed to be sticking to people's ears. The women on the stage stretched out their arms and hooked their fingers at the screen. The smiles in the corners of their eyes and eyebrows seemed to invite the audience to join them in having fun.
The audience, both male and female, were all addicted to it unconsciously. Some of them were blushing and couldn't take their eyes off it. At first glance, it seemed like they were bewitched.
Zi Xiao, who was standing aside, looked at the contestants who were so charming on the stage and couldn't help but applaud Ning Shu:
"Is this what you mean by 'focusing on atmosphere' over explicit nudity? The lyrics seem to say nothing, yet they seem to say everything. The body doesn't reveal anything, yet it's far more alluring than direct nudity.
It's really amazing! I bet those monks watching the show must be so mesmerized that their eyes are about to fall out of their sockets."
For the first time, she looked at Ning Shu with admiration: "You are indeed the daughter of the Sect Master. You are quite talented in this field. Are you really not considering finding a good lover to practice with? I think that unlucky guy will definitely be played around by you."
Ning Shu felt guilty after being praised by Zi Xiao. She coughed twice and looked away: "Ahem! This, this lyrics and music are not written by me, and I am not the only one who has talent..."
The one with real talent would have already gained thousands of fans and reached the pinnacle of life. No matter how you look at it, it's much more exciting than just being in a relationship...
This song complements the charming dance style of Liu Pianpian and her friends. The worldly temperament that she once had in a brothel has become a thrilling extra point here. The audience in front of the screen were all distracted and could not recover until the end of the performance.
"Miss Pianpian...Miss Pianpian..." Zhang Daoquan muttered to himself, his face flushed, clutching his chest. He was sitting in the front row, and at this moment, he felt that even his bones were soft. He lowered his head and grunted for a long time, then suddenly stood up and shouted loudly as if he could not control himself:
"Ahhhh! Miss Pianpian! I love you! I, I will always support you! I'd do anything for you!"
His friends were startled by his sudden outburst and tried to force him to sit down: "Are you crazy? You are in public..." Isn't that embarrassing?
"Miss Pianpian! I am delighted with you!"
"I! I will marry you! I will marry you!"
"Miss Pianpian, you must be against the will of nature!"
Countless crazy shouts came one after another behind him. The friend turned around in shock and found that they were all excited with red faces and looked like crowing roosters who had lost their minds.
Friend:......
The Hehuan Sect is so terrifying.

*This song is Huang Ling's "Itchy". Am I showing my age again? [laughing and crying], but it's really nice. It has that flavor. Anyway, I can't sing it. If you're interested, you can go and listen to it [dog head]
