Hazy Haze's face turned red. Under the light of the fire, it became more and more red. She covered her chest with her arms, trying to block Yue Qianchou's gaze. She whispered, "I'm not talking about me."
The other women were seduced by these words and subconsciously looked at their chests. They also crossed their arms to cover their chests. Their cheeks were all red, and they all muttered in their hearts, "This senior Niu doesn't know how to restrain himself when acting like a hooligan."
Many people's gazes had already been attracted by the three words' big breasts'. Fu Chun and Qin Jiaxing were even more dumbfounded. The two of them really didn't expect that their boss would actually dare to say such a thing in front of so many people. They immediately threw the veiled beauty to the back of their minds and looked at this rare animal like their boss.
"What are you looking at?" Yue Qianchou glared at the two of them, and then awkwardly explained to Hazy Haze, "It was a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue, I absolutely didn't mean anything else." However, the figures of the women shrank, a little bit to guard against thieves. Especially their eyes, they obviously didn't believe that he had made a slip of the tongue.
'Damn! I obviously want to flatter you, but you actually treat me as a pervert! ' Yue Qianchou opened his mouth and shook his head speechlessly. He was too lazy to explain, and he couldn't explain it clearly. Many people around him snickered, laughing that he was really a kindred spirit.
If someone was more careful, they would find that the direction of the veiled woman's veil had changed a little. It seemed to be facing the direction of Yue Qianchou. Obviously, she had noticed this Niu Youde. Fang Ming always paid attention to her movements and naturally noticed this.
Just now, the beauty of the mysterious woman's graceful steps had left an indelible mark in his heart. Before, he had the heart to climb high branches, but now he had the impulse to get close to her. This couldn't be blamed on him. A graceful lady was a gentleman's desire! Any normal man would like beautiful women. However, if he was jealous of a beautiful woman, he had to consider the consequences …
Fang Mingben had already suppressed his irrational action of clashing with Yue Qianchou, but after seeing the peerless elegance of this beautiful woman, his heart began to beat wildly. Even if this woman did not have a mysterious background, it would be enough to satisfy him for the rest of his life if he could obtain her, not to mention that she might have a profound background.
Originally, there were already signs of success when the conditions were right, but this Niu Youde forcefully stopped it. Moreover, such a peerless beauty had actually shifted her attention from him to Niu Youde. This was intolerable. Fang Ming's face was livid and shouted, "Niu Youde, how dare you say such obscene words in public. Aren't you afraid of being a disgrace?"
Yue Qianchou was slightly startled. Just now, he had thought that this fellow was tactful. He did not expect that this fellow would openly flip out at him. Yue Qianchou did not know what was wrong with him. She sized him up in confusion and said, "That's strange. What does it have to do with you that I'm a disgrace to cultured people? I'm a disgrace to cultured people, so why are you, a liar, lecturing me?"
"Heh! Since you keep saying that I'm a liar, then show me something to prove it. Don't spout nonsense. Do you think everyone in the world is a fool? "Fang Ming threw caution to the wind. He was sure that the mysterious woman was also someone who loved music. Otherwise, she wouldn't have played the flute alone in this lonely night.
Fang Ming's bet was very simple. As long as the veiled woman was a person who loved music, she would not put herself in danger. Because there was still a song to be sung. Did she not want to hear it? Moreover, the one-armed old man who guarded the Ghost Manor probably wouldn't allow anyone to commit murder in the Ghost Manor.
Everyone broke out in a cold sweat for Fang Ming. Offending such a person was truly not a wise move. Fu Chun, Qin Jiaxing, and the girls looked at Fang Ming as if they were looking at an idiot. In their eyes, a mere vagrant cultivator dared to provoke a Soul Formation Stage cultivator. Wasn't he courting death?
"Oh!" Yue Qianchou put down the wine jar in his hand and sat up straight. He raised his hand to touch his forehead helplessly. The copper bracelet on his wrist was very eye-catching. He said disdainfully, "I, Niu Youde, have always won people over with my virtue. Tell me, how can I prove it so that you will be convinced? "
Fang Ming's face tensed up. "Niu Youde, I don't know if you know music or not, but since you insist on proving that I'm a liar, don't say that I'm making things difficult for you … If you can sing a song composed by Yue Qianchou, then it will be a strong proof."
He secretly prepared another excuse in his mind. If Yue Qianchou really knew how to play and sing, and if it was the two songs that he had just sung, then he would say that Yue Qianchou was merely imitating him. If it was another song, then no one here would have heard it. At that time, he could firmly deny that it was a song composed by Yue Qianchou.
"Oh! That's it? As long as I can sing a song composed by Yue Qianchou, then I can prove that you're a liar? "Yue Qianchou narrowed his eyes. In his previous life, he was a master of conspiracies. Even if Niu Youde did not leave a way out, he had already prepared for the worst. He had seen many people like Niu Youde. He snorted coldly and said, "What if you don't admit that it's a song composed by Yue Qianchou that no one has ever heard of before?"
Fang Ming's thoughts were exposed, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "As long as you don't imitate someone else's song, then it'll be fine. Yue Qianchou's song has a different tune than the one we're familiar with. You'll know it once you hear it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of a lazy zither. Everyone looked toward the source of the sound. Unknowingly, a zither had appeared on Niu Youde's knees. He was casually playing with it with one hand. Everyone's eyes lit up. They knew that a good show was about to begin. Since Niu Youde could carry a zither with him, he must be an expert in this field.
Qin Jiaxing and Fu Chun looked at each other. Yan Lan and the other girls looked at each other. They didn't expect Niu Youde to really know how to play the zither. In the cultivation world, there weren't many male cultivators who were willing to spend their time on this field. Of course, those who were passionate about it were mostly female cultivators. This was because women were born to be sentimental.
The pair of eyes under the green veil stared closely at Yue Qianchou's every move, and a faint look of expectation appeared in them.
Yue Qianchou stared at Fang Ming with a faint smile. His fingers touched the strings of the zither, and he began to play with it elegantly and skillfully. A beautiful melody slowly flowed into everyone's heart. He sang softly, "I am a fox that has cultivated for a thousand years. A thousand years of cultivation, a thousand years of loneliness …"
Everyone was familiar with this song and the tune. However, it was clearly more emotional than Fang Ming's song. There were many subtle differences, but it was more provocative. Even if they didn't understand, they could tell that Niu Youde's singing was better than Fang Ming's.
This was a very normal thing. It was a song that was passed down from the mouth of Yue Qianchou. It would be strange if Yue Qianchou himself was not familiar with it. There were no recording devices in this era, so it wasn't a big deal if the song was lost. However, it showed everyone what an authentic song was! Fang Ming's face changed color.
After playing and singing for a short while, Yue Qianchou changed his tune midway. He sang again, "Since the beginning, only the newlyweds smile, who would hear the old cry? The word love is so hard. Should I ask for the truth, or should I pretend to be confused? It's hard to be content with knowing too much … "
The tune was so skillfully switched between the two songs, and it was so perfect and beautiful that it made people secretly fascinated. However, after a few more lines, the sound of the zither changed again. It was no longer affectionate and had become aggressive.
Yue Qianchou's ten fingers strummed the zither strings as he stared at Fang Ming and said in an indifferent tone, "People strive to climb higher and water flows lower. If you want to climb higher and change your fate, no one will say anything. A fair lady is a gentleman's dream, and you're right. However, you're blind to think that everyone in the world is as gullible as fools. You're too naive. Fang Ming, if you have the guts to do it, you should be prepared to bear the consequences. If you admit that you're a liar now, I'll spare your life. "
Fang Ming glanced at the doubtful gazes around him and said unwillingly, "These are clearly the two songs that I played earlier. You made some slight changes to them and you're calling me a liar? Who's the naive one here?"
"Hmph! I knew you would say that. " Yue Qianchou shook his head and sneered. With the movement of his fingers, the tune suddenly became impassioned, and the audience's mood became bolder. Yue Qianchou stared at his fingers and said without looking up, "This is a song Yue Qianchou composed for me. Not many people have heard it. On this lonely night, it's fate that we met. I'm willing to play this song for everyone free of charge. I'll sing this song to raise everyone's spirits. "
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up again, and they were filled with anticipation. Her red lips pursed under the green veil, which was a rare sight.
"Fang Ming, I'll give you one last chance." Yue Qianchou tilted his head and stared at him.
Towards this guy who claimed that Yue Qianchou was a peerless genius, Yue Qianchou wanted to give him some face. However, it was better for him to show off his talent in front of a beauty. Although Yue Qianchou wasn't interested in the veiled beauty, it didn't stop him from satisfying his vanity. After all, there were few men who wouldn't be willing to be worshipped by a beauty.
This was also the main reason why he came out to sing for free, since he had nothing better to do. Moreover, he believed that the guy's singing skills were indeed inferior to his. Since he wanted to promote Yue Qianchou as a peerless genius, he might as well let Niu Youde do it for him. He was sure that the audience would be satisfied, and the peerless genius, Yue Qianchou, would also be satisfied.
However, the result of his action was that Fang Ming was doomed to be unlucky. However, Yue Qianchou didn't like this guy who pretended to be cool, so he wouldn't help him. It was already good enough that he was willing to give Fang Ming a chance and a way out.
Fang Ming sighed. It wasn't easy for him to get a chance to show off today. Why did he have to meet Niu Youde, who appeared out of nowhere? Was this really his fate? Although he had a vague feeling that something was wrong, he was blinded by greed. He forced himself to be calm and said, "True gold fears no fire, and justice is in the hearts of people."
