Chapter 18: Chinese people don't watch Western dances; folk dance is forever the best!
A sudden gust of wind swept through the stage, knocking down a large number of nearby billboards.
The judges and audience were also disoriented by the strong wind; their hair and clothes were all messed up, and things on the table fell to the ground.
Viewers watching the live stream were immediately proven wrong; seeing the judges' embarrassed state, everyone's expressions were somewhat strange.
This is too bizarre.
Does she really have someone upstairs?
"Please let the rain come!"
Yun Shu shouted again.
She was testing whether divine power had descended.
Splash!
A torrential downpour began, but this time the staff were prepared. They all ran out wearing raincoats and distributed disposable raincoats to the judges and audience.
First came strong winds, then torrential rain. Even with raincoats provided, the judges and audience members were still somewhat disheveled.
Only Lu Shijing calmly picked up an umbrella from under his seat and quickly opened it the moment it started to rain.
[Once is a coincidence, twice is pure luck, but three times means she has real power. It's confirmed—Yun Shu has connections in heaven!]
Why are the trolls silent now?
No wonder her mansion could get a property certificate in the underworld; she must have connections in heaven.
Below the stage.
Just as everyone put on their raincoats, the heavy rain suddenly stopped. Yun Shu had a rattle in her hand and was circling around Xiao Yutian while muttering incantations.
The next second, she suddenly stopped and pointed in the direction of the judges' panel.
The judges felt a chill run down their spines.
We've already had wind and rain, what's next—maybe lightning?
but……
Why are you pointing at them?
It's so scary!
Actually, Yun Shu wasn't referring to the judges, but rather to the audience seats a little behind the judges' seats, where Xiao Yutian's boyfriend happened to be sitting.
After she finished pointing, she put on the mask, looked down at Xiao Yutian on the ground, and said, "You beast, get out here right now!"
The pattern on her mask represented a god, and as she rebuked her, Xiao Yutian convulsed on the ground.
Xiao Yutian lay on the ground, looking at Yun Shu with fear in her eyes, but her eyes were bloodshot, and she let out a defiant roar.
"Those who refuse a toast will have to drink a forfeit; may Heaven punish them!"
Yun Shu held a yellow talisman in her hand and threw it at her. The talisman ignited in mid-air and when it reached above Xiao Yutian, thunder rumbled in the sky.
The blinding white light made it impossible for the judges and audience to see what was happening on stage.
They could vaguely see flashes of blue-purple lightning, as if it struck Xiao Yutian, which made everyone's expression change.
"Xiao Yutian!"
"Why did the lightning strike someone? I hope she's alright!"
Everyone tensed up, except for Xiao Yutian's boyfriend, who looked at the stage with excitement on his face.
With such powerful lightning, Xiao Yutian is doomed. Only if Xiao Yutian dies in his place can he finally rid himself of that brat!
"Hehe!"
As the white light gradually disappeared, everyone heard a sharp scream, and a strange black mist emanated from Xiao Yutian's body.
[Holy crap, is Xiao Yutian dead?]
[Is Yun Shu's actions considered murder?]
[What a pity for Xiao Yutian! She kindly offered to dance for Yun Shu, but Yun Shu ended up killing her! Call the police immediately and have that vixen Yun Shu arrested!]
Upon seeing this, Lu Shijing and the judges all stood up from their seats.
Lu Shijing's expression was grave. "Call an ambulance."
After he finished speaking, he was about to go up and check on Xiao Yutian's condition when Xiao Yutian stood up on her own.
"Yunshu, I feel much better!"
Xiao Yutian said excitedly, her face flushed and her spirits even better than before she went on stage.
Lu Shijing paused slightly, glancing at Yun Shu with a strange expression. "What are you doing?"
Yun Shu answered honestly, "To exorcise evil spirits."
Lu Shijing narrowed his dark, peach-blossom eyes slightly and stared at Yun Shu for a while. "Exorcise evil spirits, and perform a sacrificial dance while you're at it?"
Yun Shu nodded honestly, "Yes."
Lu Shijing's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything and went back to sit on the judges' panel.
"Mr. Lu, is Xiao Yutian alright? Should we take her to the hospital to get her checked out?"
"And that Yun Shu, she almost killed someone with feudal superstition, let's call the police!"
"That's right, if someone really dies, our show will be shut down!"
The judges chimed in with their opinions.
Lu Shijing glanced at them coldly, a hint of displeasure in his eyes. "Don't ask, don't interfere, just do what you're supposed to do."
The judges fell silent instantly.
Yun Shu and Xiao Yutian stood on the stage and bowed to the judges. Yun Shu said, "My performance 'Inviting the Gods' has ended. Thank you for watching."
[Holy crap, Xiao Yutian was struck by lightning and is completely unharmed! That's amazing!]
[Actually, Yun Shu's dancing is very professional; that's how the shamans in my hometown dance. And that Xiao Yutian who plays the possessed person is also very convincing; I've seen possessed people, and they're just like her.]
[Upstairs, are you praising or insulting someone? This is a singing, dancing, and rapping talent show! What kind of professional dance is this, shamanistic dancing?!]
[How can shamanic dancing not be considered dance? It's our traditional folk dance! I'm voting for Yun Shu!]
[Chinese people don't watch Western dances; I love watching folk dances like Yun Shu's—she's a legend!]
The location evaluation is scored based on three main factors: judges' scores, on-site audience scores, and online votes.
When this round of the competition ended, Yun Shu received extremely low scores from both the judges and the live audience, but she received the most online votes in all three categories.
Xiao Yutian's situation is similar to hers.
Xiao Yutian's own performance was unsuccessful, and she received the lowest score from the judges and the audience. However, she later helped Yun Shu with her dance, which earned her recognition from netizens and a high number of online votes.
Both of them advanced to the next round.
When she received the news, Xiao Yutian was next to Yun Shu and said happily, "Yun Shu, I didn't expect to advance too! We can go to the island training camp together!"
Yun Shu: "..."
Where exactly is the problem?
The judges and audience were so embarrassed by her that they gave her extremely low scores. How could she still advance?
Yun Shu felt a headache coming on just thinking about the island training camp.
She said to Xiao Yutian, "I'm a little tired, I'd like to go home and rest first."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Xiao Yutian couldn't help but grab her. "What will happen to my boyfriend? I'm worried that when he gets home and finds that the ghost statue has been destroyed, he might do something impulsive, like... kill me himself. I don't even dare to go home."
Yun Shu told her, "Within 24 hours, your boyfriend and the person who helped him change his luck will be punished. God is quite efficient. However, you should stay in the staff dormitory tonight and avoid contact with him."
"good!"
Xiao Yutian planned to refuse her boyfriend's invitation to dinner later.
However, after Yun Shu left, her boyfriend did not come over for a long time.
When Yin Hong saw that Xiao Yutian had survived being struck by lightning, he panicked. Before the competition was even over, he drove to the outskirts to find the master who had helped him change his luck.
The master said that if Xiao Yutian doesn't die, he will be the one to die tomorrow!
It takes more than three hours to drive to the suburbs. During this time, Yin Hong kept calling the master, but the master did not answer the phone and was studying Yun Shu's live broadcast.
