Chapter 1058: Chapter 1058: Xiao ng Causes Trouble
Hearing Xiao ng’s inquiry, Jing Jing slightly raised her head, her lips moving very subtly and she uttered four words: "The Empress’ position."
Xiao ng was stunned, then suddenly realized. No wonder these two young ladies were performing so vigorously. It turns out they had ulterior motives, and the stakes were quite high.
As Xiao ng watched ng Yu’s dance with a new understanding, she noticed that during the movents, ng Yu’s charming and seductive eyes occasionally glanced at Ye You, as if she were fluttering covert amorous looks.
Recalling that Ya Ling’s performance had also centered around Ye You, Xiao ng began to feel bored and disinterested.
However, as Qin Sisi’s close friend, Xiao ng was sowhat displeased with these two won brazenly flirting with Ye You. The eunuch is more anxious than the Emperor; with so many people covetously eyeing the Empress’ position and scheming, yet Qin Sisi remains out of sight—isn’t this tantamount to conceding without a fight?
Xiao ng’s eyes whirled around, then she lifted her head to look at Yun Cheng, staring at him intently with a very serious expression.
Yun Cheng, who had been attentively watching the dance, suddenly felt a murderous intent and couldn’t help but sneeze. After looking around, he realized that this murderous intent was emanating from Xiao ng’s eyes.
Seeing Xiao ng’s rarely serious expression, Yun Cheng’s heart skipped a beat. He dared not look at ng Yu again, responding to Xiao ng’s gaze with a look that carried a plea for forgiveness.
Xiao ng stood up and left the banquet hall. Cang Zuo and Jing Jing thought she was just excusing herself for a mont and didn’t ask any further.
Yun Cheng, who had been closely observing Xiao ng, quickly caught on and hurriedly stood up, following her out.
The attention of everyone else was on ng Yu’s dance, so no one paid much mind to the two people leaving.
The two left the banquet hall one after another, heading towards a quieter area. Seeing that it was deserted, Yun Cheng hurriedly caught up with Xiao ng, grabbing her arm and anxiously explained, "Xiao ng, don’t be angry, I didn’t... I assure you, you’re the only one in my heart."
Xiao ng turned around and glared at him, scolding, "Do you realize how you looked just then? As if your soul had been ensnared by a devil."
Yun Cheng imdiately understood that Xiao ng was not really angry and said with a ’hehe’ laugh, "How could that be? My soul was hooked away by you long ago. Now I don’t have a soul to be hooked by soone else, even if they wanted to."
"Smooth talker." Xiao ng punched Yun Cheng playfully on the chest, but couldn’t help but laugh shyly and joyfully.
"Did you notice? Those two witches were both aiming for His Royal Highness the Prince," Xiao ng said, lifting her sparkling eyes to look at Yun Cheng.
Yun Cheng nodded, "I noticed a bit, but the soul of His Royal Highness has also been captured by soone else already. No matter how well they perform, it’s useless."
"That’s not necessarily the case," Xiao ng disagreed with Yun Cheng, "Those two witches are so good at seizing the spotlight. If His Royal Highness loses self-control..."
"What do you suggest we do?" Yun Cheng frowned, unsure of what Xiao ng was plotting.
Xiao ng looked around, then leaned into Yun Cheng’s ear and whispered a few words.
Yun Cheng’s mouth opened wide with surprise, he hesitantly asked, "Will that really work?"
"Why not? My eldest sister said that n are visual creatures. If those two are prancing around dressed like enchantresses, then we’ll turn Sister Sisi into the greatest enchantress of them all to outshine them both," Xiao ng argued convincingly, swearing by her plan.
Yun Cheng hesitated, but worn down by Xiao ng’s insistence and acknowledging that the intention was indeed for the benefit of Ye You and Qin Sisi, he eventually agreed to Xiao ng’s proposal. The two harnessed the power of magic, forming wings that carried them to a cave deep within Taiyi Mountain.
Qin Sisi had just finished forging a three-and-a-half-star weapon, quite satisfied with her handiwork. She was drinking water and studying the piece, considering what could still be improved.
At that mont, a familiar voice echoed at the cave’s entrance: "Sister Sisi!"
"Xiao ng?" Qin Sisi was surprised, quickly going out to greet them and, indeed, saw Xiao ng and Yun Cheng.
"Why aren’t you at the banquet? What brings you here?" Qin Sisi found the arrival of these two unexpected visitors strange as she knew that tonight Ye You was hosting a grand banquet, which Xiao ng and others were supposed to attend.
Xiao ng stepped forward to clasp Qin Sisi’s arm, cooing, "The banquet is so boring, so I asked Yun Cheng to bring
here to play with you instead."
Qin Sisi laughed lightly without overthinking it. If the banquet was just a group of elders drinking tea and chatting, it could indeed get dull, and Xiao ng’s lively personality likely wouldn’t enjoy it.
"Sister Sisi, on my way here today, I saw a flower that was particularly beautiful. Look." As Xiao ng spoke, she presented a pale yellow blossom to Qin Sisi.
Unsuspecting, Qin Sisi instinctively took the flower. It was only the size of a fingernail, soft in color, and didn’t seem extraordinary at a glance. Just as she was about to question Xiao ng, her vision spun wildly, and she collapsed into unconsciousness.
Yun Cheng helped Xiao ng move the unconscious Qin Sisi to a bed deeper in the cave. Looking at the unconscious Qin Sisi, he was sowhat unsure: "Is this truly necessary? Why not just tell her directly?"
Frowning, Xiao ng replied, "Given her temperant, do you think she would have co willingly? We have to make a done deal of it. Now leave; I need to dress her in the most beautiful—no, the most enchantress-like clothes."
Yun Cheng left reluctantly. Half an hour later, Xiao ng finished dressing Qin Sisi, using Wood Attribute Magic Power to create two vines that bound Qin Sisi, then she and Yun Cheng flew down from Taiyi Mountain with Qin Sisi in tow, returning to the outside of the banquet hall.
By this ti, ng Yu’s dance had ended, and the audience applauded her performance. Ye You also expressed his praise and had a Level Five Illusion Spirit Pill awarded to her.
Now a High-level Magic Spirit, ng Yu found the Level Five Pill perfectly fitting.
ng Yu accepted the reward, her movents graceful as she thanked Ye You. Joy leaping in her heart, she returned to her seat and exchanged a triumphant look with her father, both basking in self-satisfaction.
The smile on the face of Chief Chi Xun of the ilan Family carried a hint of disdain. No matter how beautifully they dressed up, they were trivialities that couldn’t stand on a real stage. If his own daughter, Yi Rou, were here, where would they get the chance to show off?
But his true motives were not focused on the festivities; it was clear that these two young ladies were aiming for Ye You, vying for the Empress’s position. If he could get Wen Xuan to perform as well, the underlying flirtation in their performances would naturally dissolve.
However, as Wen Xuan was a man, Chief Chi Xun wondered if performing after two scheming won would make him feel awkward.
While Chief Chi Xun was in the midst of his dilemma, Xiao ng finally entered. She didn’t return to her seat but walked straight to the center of the hall, gave a bow to Ye You, and said loudly, "Your Royal Highness, since everyone is in such high spirits, I would also like to present a performance for Your Highness. Would that be alright?"
