Chapter 14: A Dance That Bewitches the City



Qin Xuezhen was stunned after shouting this.

Right! Anyway, as long as she covers her face, no one will know if it’s the real Shui Linglong.

She quickly rummaged through Shui Linglong's closet and found a dance costume that suited her, and then she put on a beautiful mask in a unique way.

However, although Qin Xuezhen can dance, she has not received many years of training like Shui Linglong, so in order to win this competition, she can only think of other tricks.

Qin Xuezhen looked at the corridor filled with flowers, her eyes turned slightly, and she called the servants.

"Next! Shui Linglong!"

As the servant's voice sounded, Qin Xuezhen stepped onto the stage barefoot.

The moment he stepped onto the stage, there was an uproar all around.

Qin Xuezhen's lips curled up into a triumphant smile; this was exactly the effect she wanted!

There was a big drum in the center of the stage, and basins of water were placed around it.

Qin Xuezhen stepped on it barefoot and danced on the drum.

It is strange to say, most men who like women like women's soft and boneless feet, but it is a great shame and humiliation for women to expose their feet in public.

Under this kind of entanglement, he actually developed the elegant habit of peeping at women's feet.

Qin Xuezhen grasped this characteristic and dared to act so boldly. After all, Shui Linglong was also a prostitute, so she was not afraid even if someone said something behind her back.

As expected, when Qin Xuezhen appeared, she had red bells on her ankles and her slender feet were jumping on the drum, occasionally tapping the water surface beside the drum with her toes.

At the same time, petals suddenly fell from the sky, accompanied by applause and cheers from the crowd, and the atmosphere in the crowd reached its peak.

After the dance ended, under the enthusiastic gaze of everyone, Qin Xuezhen walked down the platform triumphantly and returned to Shui Linglong's room.

Shui Linglong was still half lying on the table to rest. When she saw Qin Xuezhen come in, she looked at Qin Xuezhen excitedly.

"Miss Qin is truly an eye-opener today. I never thought that a young lady raised in a wealthy family like you could be so helpful to a prostitute like me."

Qin Xuezhen waved her hand casually, and scratched Shui Linglong's chin with her fingers.

"Don't say that. Even if you've fallen into prostitution, what's the big deal? You're still a human being. All people are equal. There's no such thing as high or low. Don't just call me Miss anymore. From now on, you can just call me Xuezhen."

Shui Linglong just listened to this and didn't take it to heart. She had seen too many people who said they didn't despise her status, but in fact they were mocking her openly or secretly.

Shui Linglong, who was in the world of prostitution, was used to listening to half of what was said and doing half of what was done, so she still praised the other party respectfully.

"Miss Qin is right, but people in the world are ignorant and may not listen to you. There are not many women like you who are so far away from the mundane world."

Even though she was not used to the ancient way of speaking, Qin Xuezhen knew that she was praising herself and couldn't help feeling proud.

"That's true. I've finally seen through the people around me. They're all just putting on airs. If one day I can become a powerful person, those pretentious little people won't have an easy time!"

When Qin Xuezhen said this, the face of the imperial concubine appeared before her eyes.

After everyone finished dancing, Shui Linglong and other brothel girls stood on the platform, waiting for everyone's flowers.

Qin Xuezhen looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction and hid aside to watch the fun. Facts proved that she did not make a wrong bet. Shui Linglong had the most flowers.

Just as Shui Linglong was announced as the next Lady of Flowers, a woman suddenly rushed out, pointed at Shui Linglong and said, "That's not fair! That dance just now wasn't performed by Shui Linglong at all. She was feeling unwell before going on stage and had been hiding in her room the entire time!"

This sudden change stunned everyone. After a few seconds of strange silence, whispers began to be heard from all around.

Qin Xuezhen looked anxious, as Shui Linglong was related to whether she could make a fortune in the future.

But she definitely couldn't show up at the moment, and could only stand aside anxiously.

In the teahouse not far away, the Second Prince smiled triumphantly, and ripples appeared on the teacup in his hand.

"Isn't she trying to make a killing with Shui Linglong? It's a good opportunity to help her. If she wants to conquer the world, she needs soldiers and food. Without money, how can we get loyal men and military pay?"

The eldest prince and the third prince also raised their teacups and nodded with satisfaction.

The farce on the stage continued, and finally Qin Xue couldn't stand it anymore. Shui Linglong didn't know what had happened to her brain, and she actually fell into the trap of self-proof.

She tried her best to explain to everyone that she was an excellent dancer and why she needed to find a substitute, but what they said was nonsense.

However, there is no smoke without fire, and some people are still reluctant to believe it.

Seeing more and more voices of doubt, Qin Xue really couldn't stand it anymore.

Anyway, I'm wearing men's clothes and a mask, so no one should recognize me.

With such confidence, Qin Xuezhen opened the fan in his hand with a clatter and walked onto the stage, looking like a handsome young man.

"You two ladies each have your own reasons. I just want to ask, this lady said that Miss Shui Linglong is looking for a substitute to dance for her. Do you have any evidence? You can't just say nothing and fool everyone, right?"

The girl was so angry that her face turned red, but she still politely bowed to the other party. Who knew the identity of the young man in front of her was? If she offended him too much, it would not be good for her.

"Thank you for your courtesy, sir. I dare to say this because I saw it with my own eyes. Shui Linglong and I are from the same family, so there is no way I could have mistaken her!"

Qin Xuezhen strolled back and forth on the stage leisurely, tapping the fan in her hand.
