Soon, Hua Xiangrong's dance and song ended. She stood in the middle of the steps, peerlessly alone. The moonlight gathered on her, making her look dreamlike.
It was quiet all around.
Then, no one knew who shouted first. Suddenly, the cheers, exclamations, roars, and shouts, like a tsunami, surged up in an overwhelming manner, trying to drown the entire Liufang Street of the Musical House.
The expressions on some people's faces became a little distorted because of excitement and amazement. Some people unconsciously shouted. Even they themselves did not know what they were drinking. They just felt that after watching such a fairy dance in the human world, on such an occasion, they must shout something to express their feelings.
The entire Liufang Street was boiling.
Similarly, the VIP seats in front of the main stage and the best private rooms of the surrounding restaurants were also boiling. All the officials, rich people, and martial arts giants were almost lying in front of the windows of the private rooms, breathing rapidly. Their eyes were flashing with amazement, possessiveness, fanaticism, and all kinds of complicated expressions.
There was no man who was not moved by the woman in white on the stage.
There was no woman who was not jealous of the woman in white on the stage.
Even the cultivators who were as calm as an ancient well could not control their emotions at this time. Their souls were taken away by the fairy on the stage, who was so beautiful that she did not belong to the mortal world.
This woman should only exist in heaven. How many times could they see her in the human world?
Many people were tempted. They wanted to hold such a woman in their arms, let her cry in front of them, laugh in front of them, and let her everything belong to them.
However, at the thought of the man who was excellent in poetry and martial arts standing behind this woman, most people still retreated.
They could not afford to offend him.
That guy named Li Mu was simply an unscrupulous God of Killing.
If God stood in his way, he would kill God. If Buddha stood in his way, he would kill Buddha.
Of course, there were also some people who were unwilling to give up. They were pondering whether they could use some other ways to get this famous prostitute in the brothel. Since ancient times, power, wealth, wine, and women had always been things that could drive people crazy.
Among those who were moved by Hua Xiangrong, the second prince of the empire, who was sitting in the No. 1 private room on the second floor of the Moon-baiting House, was also included.
At the moment when the dance was over, he suddenly stood up and looked at Hua Xiangrong with a rare possessiveness. At that moment, he even had an impulse to love the throne more than the beauty. He would rather use everything he had now to exchange for the favor of the pretty woman on the stage below.
What kind of beauties had he not seen and enjoyed?
Even those women who were much nobler than Hua Xiangrong were at his mercy in front of him. He once firmly believed that women in the world were nothing but beautiful skeletons, and only power, status, and strength were the most real and perfect things.
However, at this moment, he was tempted.
He was truly tempted.
Liu Chenglong, on the other hand, saw the second prince's reaction.
"Your Highness, should I send Hua Xiangrong to Qin City?" he asked tentatively.
The second prince slowly sat down, let out a long sigh, and said, "Do it secretly. Don't let others know." He was indeed tempted, but his rationality, which had been around for a long time, made him restrain himself. Now that the fight for the position of crown prince was in full swing, if he really took in a famous prostitute, it would attract too much criticism. So … he could only hide her in his golden house.
Liu Chenglong said, "I understand, but … I'm afraid I can't deal with Li Mu with my strength."
The second prince smiled and said, "Li Mu can't protect himself. Don't worry, someone will naturally deal with him … Haha, moreover, do you really think that you don't need to pay a price for refusing me three times in a row?"
…
On the main stage, the six leaders of the Musical House were loudly announcing the number of flower baskets.
"The Dafeng Chamber of Commerce will reward Miss Hua with 10,000 flower baskets …"
"The Fengming Academy will reward Miss Hua with 10,000 flower baskets …"
"The Qishan Chamber of Commerce will reward Miss Hua with 5,000 flower baskets …"
"Young Master Zhao Wuji of the Zhao Mansion will reward Miss Hua with 3,000 flower baskets …"
"Mr. Cai of the government organ in the eastern district will reward Miss Hua with 5,000 flower baskets …"
The six class leaders were carefully selected to be eloquent and eloquent, but at this time, even if their mouths were worn out, they would not be able to finish their report. A series of notes were handed over, piling up in front of the six of them.
"The young president of the World Chamber of Commerce will reward Miss Hua with 100,000 flower baskets."
Another amazing number was revealed, and the entire Liufang Street of the Musical House was once again filled with exclamations.
Another reward of 100,000 was given. It was crazy.
Plus the previous rewards from various parties, it was not necessary to count that the flower baskets Hua Xiangrong got this time had been confirmed to be more than 200,000. It was already a fact that she had surpassed Lu Hongxiu of the Yi Cui House, so there was no need to count at all.
Moreover, the gifts that came one after another had yet to stop.
Hua Xiangrong smiled and expressed her gratitude on the stage.
As if feeling Li Mu's gaze, Hua Xiangrong raised her head and looked at the Fairy House. Separated by more than 20 meters, the two people looked at each other from a distance, with a warm smile on their faces.
Without the wings of the colorful phoenix, their hearts were connected.
It was not until half an hour later that the number of flower baskets Hua Xiangrong had won was counted out. After counting, there were 371,000 flower baskets in total. This number was too exaggerated. It could almost be regarded as the total number of the previous Top Beauty Competitions. At first, the class leaders who counted out the number thought they had made a mistake, so they counted it several times in a row to confirm it.
Crazy!
After the final number was reported, there was another burst of cheers on Liufang Street.
Until Hua Xiangrong stepped off the stage and the 11th famous prostitute went on the stage to introduce herself and began to perform, countless people were still immersed in the previous performance of Hua Xiangrong, and all kinds of discussions and conversations were still related to Hua Xiangrong. Undoubtedly, the 11th famous prostitute became cannon fodder, and basically no one paid attention to her performance. The entire Liufang Street was immersed in the aftertaste of Hua Xiangrong's singing and dancing.
It was not until the 12th and 13th famous prostitutes went on the stage that people slowly woke up from that shock.
However, after the previous performance of Hua Xiangrong, for most people, no matter how excellent the performance of other famous prostitutes was, it tasted like chewing wax. What everyone was looking forward to was that Miss Hua could go on the stage again to perform, which would be the biggest surprise.
There was no doubt that in the minds of most people, tonight's Top Beauty had already been revealed.
Except for Hua Xiangrong, who else was qualified?
…
…
Backstage.
The tent of the Holy House was crowded with people.
Miss Lu Hongxiu of the Yi Cui House was surrounded by stars, but in fact, she was just a 17-year-old girl. At this time, her face was livid, and she could not hide her disappointment and anger.
What was the feeling of falling from the high clouds to the dust?
She now tasted it most clearly.
In any of the previous Top Beauty Competitions, Lu Hongxiu's flower basket of 130,000 could be said to be the champion. Therefore, before Hua Xiangrong went on the stage, almost everyone thought that Lu Hongxiu had already set one foot on the throne of Top Beauty.
However, when Hua Xiangrong finished her performance, all this was like a joke.
More than 300,000 flower baskets, this was simply a miracle.
According to the rules of the competition, the flower baskets received by famous prostitutes on the stage would be equally divided by the Musical House, the brothel, and the famous prostitutes. Hua Xiangrong alone could get more than 100,000 flower baskets, which was equivalent to 100,000 gold. She became rich overnight and gained countless fame. It could be imagined that now, in the future, people would only remember Hua Xiangrong, who had a beautiful dance, instead of Lu Hongxiu, who had also broken the record of flower baskets but was trampled by Hua Xiangrong.
How could Lu Hongxiu not be angry?
Sang Lu Xue, the mother of the Yi Cui House, was also disappointed.
In the beginning, she had not coveted the position of Top Courtesan. However, after a mysterious stranger had spent a hundred thousand yuan on her, her desire and ambition were like a spark that had been doused with oil. Now that she had been knocked down from the clouds, the despair after this kind of hope was simply enough to break her down.
"Yes, it was me who asked her to be beaten. So what?" In the face of Hua Xiangrong's questioning, Lu Xue raised her head excitedly, gritted her teeth, and said, "Your servant girl was rude and unruly, so I asked someone to slap her and teach her a lesson. Is that wrong?"
The surroundings were surrounded by people, and the mothers and girls of the major brothels were all there.
Just now, Hua Xiangrong returned after her performance and learned that her servant Xin 'er had been wronged. But before she went to settle the score, the people of the Yi Cui House first came to the tent of the Holy House and said some sarcastic words.
Hua Xiangrong gently rubbed Xin 'er's cheek with distress, and performed a small healing Taoist magic art to treat Xin' er's injury.
Then, she looked at Lu Xue and said in a cold tone, "My servant girl is naturally under the control of the Holy House. Mrs. Lu, you have reached too far. What's more, she said some mean words outside my tent. Can't my servant refute?"
"Humph, you can't control her well, so I'll help you." Lu Xue sneered and said, "What? You just got a flower basket worth more than 300,000 yuan, and you can't wait to show off when you get off the stage? You can go to the whole Liufang Street and ask around. My Yi Cui House is not easy to be bullied. "
"We all know who bullied who." Hua Xiangrong's expression was terrifyingly calm. She said, "I won't argue with you so much. Which old maid beat Xin 'er? Stand out and let Xin' er beat her back. Then, this matter will be over. Otherwise, I've always been kind to others, but I will not be bullied by others and swallow my anger. At that time, don't blame me for being rude."
Practicing Cultivation Method would imperceptibly change a person's character. Moreover, after staying with Li Mu for a long time, Hua Xiangrong was gradually influenced by Li Mu's overbearing character. So, when she said such words, she was extremely domineering.
