Chapter 157: The hot dancer

Seeing Nangong Jun Xi’s grumpy face, Le Yao Yao’s smile deepened.

Then, she walked up to Nangong Jun Xi and boasted, “7th Prince, today, the Dowager Empress was very pleased by servant’s plays!”

Nangong Jun Xi knew Le Yao Yao was trying to hint about their bet from before, so his face crumpled and he waved his hand in annoyance, “I know. It’s a hundred silver taels, right? You greedy little servant! The Emperor and Dowager Empress have already rewarded you so much, yet you still want this small amount!”

“A hundred silver taels may be a small amount to you, but to servant, that is a Heaven’s price! After all, servant will need this money after he leaves the residence!”

Le Yao Yao had always been the type to be rash and direct. She always said whatever that came to her mind.

Unexpectedly, the moment she uttered those words, Nangong Jun Xi was astonished and the smiling King of Hell instantly turned black.

Now, Leng Jun Yu was glaring at her again.

Oops. She made the King of Hell mad again.

Sigh. She shouldn’t always say what was on her mind. But it wasn’t her fault! Based on her current circumstances, she was much safer if she left the residence. If anyone discovered she was female, she would be harshly punished and killed!

So, leaving the residence was only a matter of time.

But as an employee, she shouldn’t have told her boss she would leave in front of his face. Anyone else in his shoes would be mad too, I guess.

While Le Yao Yao was thinking, her scalp was turning numb again because the King of Hell was glaring at her too icily. Now, she had her head lowered and didn’t dare to make eye contact with him any longer.

A moment ago, Leng Jun Yu was smiling at her so gently. She felt as if she was floating. But a second later, his face turned so fierce. The King of Hell truly was bipolar!

Thinking of this, suddenly, melodic sounds of string instruments entered her ears.

So, Le Yao Yao immediately lifted her little face and gazed in front of her.

In the middle of the Hall, following the lovely music, were a group of dancers dressed in green. They were clearly well trained dancers. Their postures were graceful and their movements were in unison.

Their green skirts floated as they moved, and it resembled the leaves of a jade lotus on this hot summer day. It gave off a refreshing type of feel.

However, although the music and dancing were great, it seemed like something was missing.

Suddenly, the tone of the music drastically changed and a figure dressed in red appeared to descend from above.

The red figure was like an enchanting rose that landed in the center of the jade green leaves. It was a captivating sight!

The figure in red was dressed in a very tight outfit that accentuated her body. This lady had a busty body with a fine ass.

In addition, her sleeves and dress were designed very wide with golden embroideries around it. When she spun, she looked extremely sensual and charming.

Furthermore, the lady’s skin was very white. She had a pair of jade-like hands and they looked strikingly elegant in midair.

Not only that, the lady had long, fine black hair that swayed as she danced. It was mesmerizing.

However, half of the lady’s face was covered by a veil. Her eyes were exposed though. They were soul catching eyes! The audience all ached to tear off the veil; including Le Yao Yao. She really wanted to see the face of this beauty!

Suddenly, the lady in red turned her eyes towards a direction. She was definitely trying to arouse someone, but who?!

While Le Yao Yao was thinking, she followed the lady’s eyes and noticed it landed on the man dressed in the purple robe.

Le Yao Yao’s eyes widened.

The King of Hell?!

This lady wanted the King of Hell?! But the entire Heaven Yuan dynasty knew that the King of Hell was cruel and ruthless! He killed like it was nothing, and despised women!

Although many women crushed on the King of Hell, once they knew of his rumours, they would typically avoid him!

Yet, this woman wanted to get his attention?

Perhaps she didn’t know his identity?

The chances of that was quite slim. After all, the dancers should be able to figure out the identities of the guests based on their seatings.

Obviously, the Emperor would be sitting on the throne. The Empress was on his left, while the Dowager Empress was on his right.

The rest were the favoured concubines. Below them was the King of Hell and the rest of the important government officials of the Imperial court.

So, the lady in red must be aware of his identity. Yet, she was still trying to get the King of Hell’s attention?!

Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao couldn’t help but turn to look at her master.

But currently, Leng Jun Yu still had a frozen face. It lacked temperature and his mouth was pursed together like a straight line. It was obvious he was still angry.

Wow, what a sensitive man! Why was he so mad anyway? It wasn’t like he spoke to her these days. Was he upset if she left?

Or perhaps, deep down, he kind of cares about her? So he was angry she wanted to leave?

Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao was giddy on the inside.

Especially when she noticed that the King of Hell wasn’t affected by the lady’s flirtatious actions at all. He wasn’t even paying attention.

If it were any other male, they would probably have melted already, right?!

While Le Yao Yao was thinking, the music came to an end. The lady in red made a final leap and finished her performance.

At this moment, the applause were loud as thunder. Everyone was cheering and praised the dancers.

The Emperor exclaimed, “Amazing! Awesome! This was the best dance this Emperor had ever seen! Take off your veil and let this Emperor see your face.”

“Yes, your majesty.”

Then, the lady in red used her jade-like white hand to elegantly remove the red veil.

The moment the veil was detached, the audience gasped.

Everyone was staring in amazement and shock.

This was a beauty that could devastate a country!

Le Yao Yao also felt the same. If this lady gave her a look, she would probably melt and she wasn’t even a man!

The Emperor was astonished for a few seconds. But, he quickly knitted his brows and asked out of curiosity, “You look so familiar. Are you..my younger cousin, Nian Sulan?”

“To respond to my cousin Emperor, this lady is indeed Nian Sulan. Nian Sulan greets the Emperor. Long live the Emperor, the Empress, and the Dowager Empress...”

Following Nian Sulan’s words, the Dowager Empress was beaming nonstop. After Nian Sulan had finished her greetings, she immediately waved her over.

“Come! Lan’er! Hurry over! Your aunt misses you greatly! Let me see you up-close.”

“Yes, my aunt, the Dowager Empress.”
