My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare! Chapter 174 - 108: Phoenix's Soul Mate3

So it seems, she is almost the kind of woman my wife admires, proficient in Qin, Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting.

Moreover, her figure is good.

Unfortunately, she can't fight.

"Squeak..."

The room door inside was pushed open, and Phoenix walked out from inside.

She had actually changed into new clothes.

This long dress, although not particularly revealing, accentuated her waist all the more.

Li Nuo only glanced at it once before diverting his gaze and asked straightforwardly, "May I ask Miss Phoenix, who in the Jade Sound Pavilion is the most skilled in Music?"

Phoenix was slightly surprised. Wasn't he uninterested in Music theory? Why would he ask such a question today?

After a brief mont of confusion, she smiled slightly and said, "Young master, you've asked the right person."

Li Nuo was slightly taken aback and asked, "Could it be you?"

Phoenix confidently walked to the ancient zither in the room and said, "not to boast, in martial arts, I am not as good as Yuan Yang, in archery, I am not as good as the nightingale, but in Music, in the entire Jade Sound Pavilion, I am second to none, and no one dares claim to be the first..."

Jade Sound Pavilion was indeed a peculiar place.

Although it is a Music Workshop, each girl possessed unique skills, either in martial arts or archery.

Are these the things a non-serious girl from an entertainnt venue should know?

Even proper girls shouldn't know these!

Compared to that, Phoenix's speciality seed relatively normal.

Li Nuo complained inwardly, then asked, "Could you play a piece for ?"

Sitting beside the zither, Phoenix smiled and said, "Of course, what piece would you like to hear?"

Last ti she had wanted to perform for him, but he had refused.

He wondered why he had suddenly changed his mind.

When she offered, he declined.

When she didn't offer, he asked for it himself.

Li Nuo thought for a mont and said, "You decide. Any piece is fine."

In truth, apart from the Six Musics, he didn't know any other pieces by na.

Phoenix thought for a mont and said, "Then I'll just play a piece I created myself."

Li Nuo set down his teacup and listened attentively.

Her fingers gently plucked the zither strings, and the plaintive sound began flowing from her fingertips.

Li Nuo closed his eyes, listening sowhat intoxicated.

Miss Phoenix really wasn't boasting—Li Nuo, a layman, could tell she played much better than the musician from outside.

But compared to Liu Shang...

Honestly, Li Nuo still thought Liu Shang was a bit more impressive.

Both played the zither beautifully, yet their performances were differently enjoyable.

It was like the difference between a pop singer and a national team, Liu Shang's music had sothing indescribable, sothing more than Phoenix's.

This was Li Nuo's intuition as a layman.

But if asked to specify what that sothing was, he couldn't express it.

But this trip to the Jade Sound Pavilion, he might have co in vain.

Even Liu Shang's capabilities, which the Law Code disregarded, Phoenix would be even less likely.

Simultaneously, at the Ministry of Justice.

A group of officials and governnt officials from the Ministry of Justice stood outside a prison cell, listening to the music coming from inside, their faces equally ecstatic.

Since recently, the music had not stopped.

Even those who didn't understand Music could tell that the quality of the music was improving.

The expression on Director Zhang Sizheng's face, who understood a bit of Music, was even more astonished.

Liu Shang really played better each ti.

With almost every session, he could hear noticeable improvent.

Truly worthy of being the Music Departnt Top Scholar with an "excellent" rating.

His talent in Music was terrifying.

Even though he had neglected it for a long ti, from the mont he touched the zither, the forr Music Departnt Top Scholar, Liu Shang, was slowly returning.

Inside the prison.

Liu Shang, with closed eyes, had entered a completely self-forgetful state.

The criticism of that Ministry of Justice Official and their attitude deeply wounded his proud heart.

He played "Cloud Gate" over and over again.

As the precursor of the Six Musics, this lody was already engraved in his soul.

Bang!

After an unknown number of performances, a string on the long zither finally broke under the strain.

Liu Shang's fingers were bleeding, but a smile appeared on his face.

Having not touched the zither for a long ti, he needed so ti to regain his playing sensation.

The last performance just now held seventy percent of his peak power.

Seventy percent was enough!

Back in the day, even with only seventy percent of his strength, he was undisputedly the Music Departnt Top Scholar.

Looking at the figure standing outside the prison, he proudly said, "Sir outside, didn't you say my Qin Skill has regressed a lot? How was that last piece—why are you mute now? Speak up!"

...

Jade Sound Pavilion.

Li Nuo finally knew why so many people enjoyed listening to music.

Leaving aside whether they would do other joyful activities after listening to the music,

Listening to a high-level performance was a pleasure that penetrated the soul, akin to savoring a cup of llow wine.

However....

Li Nuo opened his eyes, a puzzled expression on his face.

This piece of music, which just sounded fine before,

Now, to him, was full of flaws.

One second it was like llow wine hitting the nose, and the next there seed to be a sour taste.

It was as if the perforr had suddenly changed.

But soon, Li Nuo realized that it wasn't the perforr who had changed.

It was the listener who had changed.

He looked towards the Law Code and noticed that the last page with Liu Shang's portrait had lit up.

At the sa ti, his mind was filled with music theory knowledge he had never encountered before.

What was going on?
