Chapter 74 Dancing Girl
"Master, Master?"
The servant standing next to me saw that I was still in a daze and called me twice. I reacted, got out of bed, and looked outside. It was indeed noon.
Is this an abnormal space?
"The magic trick in the east of the city..." seems to be the key plot?
"Yes, young master. If we don't get out quickly, we won't be able to get a good seat." The servant looked very anxious. I looked at him carefully. His expression was as lively as a real person's.
So what is it like here?
He pulled me out of bed in a daze, and I changed my clothes, washed up, and went out.
Along the way, I saw a large courtyard and a mansion with no end in sight. There were groups of slaves, singing girls and dancers carrying musical instruments, and the air was filled with singing and dancing. It was so luxurious.
So, I am really a young master here?
When I walked onto the street, I couldn't tell the dynasty from the clothes of the residents passing by. Although they were wearing ancient costumes, there were all kinds of styles. It was more like a hodgepodge of everything rather than a strange reproduction of a certain dynasty.
The servant led the way in front and I followed behind. There was a lot of noise around us, and the crowd of vendors and peddlers coming and going didn't look like a fake at all.
Hundreds of shapes and thousands of faces, hundreds of shapes and thousands of faces.
What does it mean?
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, we finally arrived at the east side of the city. A two-story platform stood on the open ground. The surrounding restaurants, roadside vendors, and the open ground were all crowded with people. Some lively performances were being performed on the stage.
I followed the waiter directly to the restaurant next door, "Isn't this Young Master Wen? The table you often sit at is reserved for you." As soon as the waiter saw me, he came up to me warmly, took us upstairs, and sat at the table with the best view by the window on the second floor.
"Do you think the food is still the same?"
I nodded a little blankly, not remembering what it was like before.
Are my settings in this space too perfect?
Soon, the wine and food arrived, and I took a sip of wine hesitantly.
It tastes like water.
"Master Wen, this is this year's new plum blossom wine. Are you satisfied?"
The servant took out a piece of silver as a reward, and the waiter thanked him and went downstairs, saying that he would bring us a fruit plate.
I took another sip and could smell the fragrance of plum blossoms, but it tasted like plain water.
...Sure enough, this abnormal person has never drunk alcohol.
Although I have never tasted plum blossom wine in this world, it definitely doesn’t taste like plain water.
I looked at the dishes, took two bites, and silently put down my chopsticks. The rice had no taste at all, and the texture was the same, just the form without substance.
The sound of gongs and drums downstairs became louder. I watched the various magic tricks and acrobatics on the stage, which attracted exclamations from the crowd. As the sun set, two lotus buds were pushed up on the stage.
—Wait a minute, is the flow of time wrong? It was only noon, how come the sun has set and it’s dark all of a sudden?
The two lotus buds were exquisitely crafted. When they were pushed onto the stage, accompanied by the sounds of musical instruments and drums, the lotus petals began to unfold one by one. It did not look like a mechanical flower, but like a real flower blooming.
If I didn't have memories, I would probably be as amazed as everyone else, but in fact, no matter how you look at it, it looks like spiritual power, so is there someone in the lotus?
The light on the lotus slowly changed, turning into stars that exploded and floated over the heads of the nearby audience, causing another burst of exclamation.
Two graceful dancers stood on the lotus platform in the middle of the lotus. Both dancers wore veils, and the gauze skirts on their bodies vaguely revealed their skin. Their long hair was loose and adorned with gold and silver hair ornaments and flowers. They wore gold-rimmed embroidered shoes on their feet. They danced on the lotus platform, and their every move revealed elegance and...stiffness.
Wait a moment?
Wait a moment! !
Why do these two dancers both have Zhou Tianqi's face?!
And it was Zhou Tianqi who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old.
It’s Zhou Tianqi who is wearing women’s clothing.
…This image has a greater impact than me wearing women’s clothing.
After the dancers finished their dance, the lotus petals closed again, and then the lotus suddenly floated up into the air. In the air, the lotus exploded with a "bang", and turned into petals that fell down. The two dancers made flower-picking gestures with their hands and slowly came down. The red gauze skirts on their bodies floated slowly in the wind, like the Queen Mother of the West - of course, the premise is to ignore the stiff expression of one of them.
There was thunderous applause all around. The two dancers bowed and disappeared from the stage in an instant, and then the next show began.
But now I can’t stand it anymore.
"Can I buy them?" I asked the boy next to me. I don't know why, but from the time I walked all the way here, including the feeling after arriving at the hotel, I always felt that the world revolved around me.
Wear the best clothes, live in the biggest house, sit in the best seats in the restaurant, eat the most sumptuous meals...
Although the food was tasteless, it at least looked the most sumptuous.
Is the treatment I receive in this space a bit too good?
So I think it's okay for me to make some requests.
"Okay, young master, is there anything you can't do in this city? I'll go and arrange it for you right away." The servant didn't think anything of it and got up and walked downstairs.
I:……
It’s so exciting. I spent money to save Fengchen, and the person I saved was Zhou Tianqi, a crossdresser.
The magic show downstairs is still going on, with flying flowers and running animals, all kinds of strange things. Some are magic tricks that have been seen in real life, and some are performances that can only be performed with magic and spiritual power.
For a moment, I didn’t know what the black and white guy who pulled us in was thinking.
After two cups of tea, the waiter came back, followed by two dancers. The guests in the surrounding hotels looked at him sideways, but when they saw that it was me, they immediately showed an expression of understanding.
Just as the boy said, there is nothing in this city that I can't do, and even other people are used to it.
I put on a serious expression and looked at the two dancers—focusing on the one with the stiffer body.
The servant came to my ear and whispered, "I asked the Hu foreman, and he said that these two dancers are... men. What do you think, young master...?" His voice was very low, but I could clearly hear the surprise and embarrassment in his words.
I looked at him, not knowing what he understood, but I nodded anyway.
I turned my head and looked over. The two dancers behind him looked like real women, with graceful figures, black hair, and beautiful makeup. If they didn't have Zhou Tianqi's face, I wouldn't have thought that there were two men in front of me.
...Yeah, you can't tell when I'm wearing women's clothes, and you definitely can't tell when Zhou Tianqi, who has the same face as me, is wearing women's clothes either.
Then I discovered in despair that I didn’t know which of these two Zhou Tianqi was the real one, and Zhou Tianqi must have been like me when I just woke up, with no memory of the outside world.
There is a big problem.
I didn't want to watch the magic show anymore, so I took them both and went back.
As I walked along, many people looked sideways. After all, the twin dancers in red were truly eye-catching. But once they saw it was me, they immediately gave me a look of understanding. What on earth is my setting in this world?!
Thinking of the singing girls and dancers I saw when I left the house, I felt that it was not so difficult to understand.
It's probably not a serious reputation.
When we returned to the mansion where we had been at the beginning, the whole place was brightly lit, with sounds of stringed instruments and bells, as if some kind of banquet was being held.
"Why is it so lively?" I asked the waiter.
He looked at me strangely, "Master, isn't that what you said? You don't like quietness. If you go out and come home, you want to hear the sound of hustle and bustle?"
“…Did I say that?”
"Have you forgotten again?" He observed me for a moment. "The master and his mistress have gone to Beijing, leaving you here. This whole city is yours, and you can do whatever you want."
Okay, I can do whatever I want.
So I took the two dancers Zhou Tianqi and walked into the hall. I sat down and started looking at them.
"What are your names?"
"In reply to the young master, my name is Aying, and he is my brother, named Aqi." The dancer who had been smiling all the time came forward and said this... By the way, she was also the one who danced more gracefully.
I:……
No, you are the one with the black and white head, right?
You are holding my ID card, right?
If I didn't have memories of the outside world, I would have been fooled by you——
[…Ahem, host, would you like to find a mirror to check your appearance?]
Um?
I glanced at the two dancers and felt that I couldn't reveal the fact that I had memories, otherwise if the black and white guys found out, they would have to change my identity, which would be troublesome.
I have to find a way to hide his core from him first—
"You arrange accommodation for them. The young master is going to hold a banquet tomorrow," I looked at the servant next to me, "let them perform."
The servant said: "Okay, Master, don't worry."
Then he waved his hand and asked someone to take the two people downstairs.
I glanced at Zhou Tianqi who followed me with an expressionless face.
...Come on, little genius. I will come to rescue you when I am sure of success. I hope you have not been fooled by then.
"Bring me a mirror." I said to the person next to me, and soon a bronze mirror was brought up.
Then I saw my current face.
She was very unfamiliar, with a pale face, peach blossom eyes, thin lips, teardrop mole, and hair that was distinctly black and white, tied into a crown and pinned with flowers.
He doesn't look like a good person.
…
What a bolt from the blue.
So, in this world, I am the black and white guy?!
What a sinister anomaly, taking advantage of the lack of memory to play this trick of replacing the prince with a cat, right?
Very good, I must find the core before Zhou Tianqi is fooled - otherwise Zhou Tianqi will chop me with his first sword!!!
"Master, is there something wrong with your appearance today?" the servant asked. I paused holding the mirror and looked at him.
"No, it's just that I don't like the hairpin I'm wearing today. I'll change it next time."
When I was washing up in my room in the morning, there was not even a mirror. Even my dressing and makeup were done by this servant.
Hundreds of forms and faces——
Could it be that everyone in this space is part of that anomaly?!
A stage was set up for me and Zhou Tianqi.
Then I watched Zhou Tianqi come to kill me——
If this is the case, then it would be a bit troublesome, because even if Zhou Tianqi remembered something later, he would not think that I, as a "male", "young master" and "with black and white hair", am Zhou Tianying.
Because he already has an "Aying" by his side.
And [I] have no memory under that unusual design, and will not take the initiative to look for Zhou Tianqi.
…
These people around me are all unusual spies, and they will lead me and Zhou Tianqi further and further apart.
It might even lead to us killing each other.
So insidious!
【How insidious! 】
【How insidious! 】
...No, you don't have to agree with me at a time like this.
So I really can't buy Zhou Tianqi a bottle of "Shenqingqishuang Oral Liquid" on credit?!
[No, host... I can cheat for you, but not for others——]
Okay, so I'm going to try to find the real Black and White Head - even though it looks like the fake Aying, I can't act rashly.
Who knows how big this space is? I can't possibly kill everyone in this world, right?!
Then I'm too perverted.
Sure enough, the first step is to persuade Zhou Tianqi to rebel.
But...what if that Zhou Tianqi is also fake?
Ahhhhh——so annoying.
"Master, be careful with the candlelight—" the servant next to me exclaimed as I slammed my hand on the table in frustration.
Only then did I realize that my hand had brushed against the candle and my sleeve was slightly burned by the fire, but my hand didn't feel anything.
…
"Master, are you burned?!"
"I'm... fine." I stared at my hands and waved, "Go back to sleep."
Then he stood up and strode towards the backyard.
The props I have on me... have not become ineffective just because I entered this space.
After all, props are not from this world at all.
Similarly, what Zhou Tianqi has is still useful.
