Chapter 249: Dancing with You!
The Lantern Festival lasted for five days, and Su Lingxi planned to leave on the second day.
And the Vermilion Bird Goddess would parade over Tang’an City on a spiritual ark on the third day.
Su Lingxi had no interest in the Vermilion Bird Goddess. She just wanted to hurry to the Absolute Flame Valley to complete her mission.
On the first day of the Lantern Festival, the streets were crowded with people. Pedestrians could hardly move an inch on the streets, and bumping into other people’s shoulders was a common occurrence.
Su Lingxi had underestimated the liveliness of the Lantern Festival.
Just on the first day, the threshold of the Drunken Old Man Tower was almost broken. The spicy aroma unique to hot pot filled the air downstairs.
Upstairs, the sound of various mahjong tiles colliding, and the customers’ occasional excitement and regret.
These phenomena all told how successful Su Lingxi’s transformation of the Drunken Old Man Tower was.
The Drunken Old Man Tower had really been brought back to life by her.
Lin Ye was busy in the kitchen, and Su Chen was greeting customers at the front desk.
“I say, when is the lady boss you promised coming up?”
“Yeah, I spent money today just to see Boss Su dance.”
Several customers had drunk a few bowls of Peach Blossom Brew, and the aftereffect was coming up.
They clamored to see Su Lingxi perform.
Hearing the customers’ demands, Su Chen hurriedly replied, “Soon, soon, I’ll go to the back and urge them.”
Su Chen trotted to the backstage door and knocked gently.
“Are you two ready inside?”
“The customers outside can’t wait.”
Because there were too many people on the first floor, Su Chen could only hear vague voices coming from the room behind.
“Soon, soon. Damn it, why is this dress tight again?”
In the room, Yun Qianrou was dressing Su Lingxi. She had prepared a dress in Tang’an City that was particularly suitable for dancing tonight.
This dress was red overall, and the high waistline design extended the leg lines to the limit, showing Su Lingxi’s figure at a glance.
However, Yun Qianrou had underestimated the size of a certain part of Su Lingxi, which made it extremely inconvenient for Su Lingxi to wear this dress.
Su Lingxi was adjusting her clothes, muttering.
She was also a little anxious, but this dress seemed to be deliberately against her. It felt awkward no matter how she wore it.
“Forget it, let’s just leave it like this.” Su Lingxi gritted her teeth and pulled the dress up to her chest.
Then she opened the door with Yun Qianrou.
Su Chen had been waiting outside the door for a long time. His eyes lit up instantly. “Wow, Boss Su, you are so beautiful!”
Faced with such a cliché compliment, Su Lingxi couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him.
Do you even need to say that?
Yun Qianrou was wearing a white long dress, which was a style Su Lingxi liked.
As soon as Su Lingxi and Yun Qianrou came out, customers on the first floor couldn’t help but whistle.
“The lady boss of this Drunken Old Man Tower is too beautiful.”
“This meal today is worth it.”
The atmosphere on the first floor reached its peak. The people upstairs who were originally addicted to playing mahjong didn’t know what was happening.
They all leaned on the railing and looked down.
Obviously, Su Lingxi’s performance was more important to them than the game in their hands.
Su Chen walked in front of Su Lingxi. “Let me tell everyone first, no flirting with our lady boss and Miss Yun.”
“Our lady boss is a cultivator. Be careful you don’t get beaten up for flirting with Boss Su.”
As soon as these words were spoken, many people put away their little thoughts.
If she was a cultivator, then forget it.
If Su Lingxi was unhappy then, she might just beat them up.
“Sister Su, are you ready?”
Yun Qianrou asked softly.
Su Lingxi nodded, looking at the full Drunken Old Man Tower with emotion.
But she would leave after tonight. She was a little reluctant after staying in the Drunken Old Man Tower for a month.
Since she had to leave, let’s use today’s dance to say goodbye!
Su Lingxi and Yun Qianrou moved to the stage. The soft light was like a layer of gauze, gently sprinkling on the wooden floor.
Su Lingxi and Yun Qianrou stood facing each other, and the air seemed to be filled with a trace of tension and expectation.
The music slowly sounded. It was the most famous song in Tang’an City.
Su Lingxi raised her arm first, her wrist turned lightly, and her fingers opened slightly like nimble petals.
Yun Qianrou followed tacitly. Their arms met in the air, as if weaving an invisible net.
Their eyes met inadvertently. At that moment, time seemed to stand still. Only each other’s reflection was in their eyes, as if a thousand words were flowing in this brief gaze.
“Hiss… Boss Su and Miss Yun, why does this dance feel a little wrong? The dance is beautiful, but it feels a little ambiguous.”
Su Chen smelled an unusual aura from the movements.
Lin Ye made a shushing gesture, signaling Su Chen to watch the dance obediently.
Only then did Su Chen shut up.
Just at the beginning, the audience below began to applaud and cheer.
This gave Su Lingxi and Yun Qianrou great confidence. The nervousness of just getting on stage had disappeared by more than half, replaced by adaptation and confidence.
As the rhythm accelerated, they began to spin, their footsteps moving lightly, and their skirts flying.
Su Lingxi turned sideways, her back gently pressing against Yun Qianrou.
Yun Qianrou took the opportunity to wrap her arms around Su Lingxi’s waist. The warmth of her palm was transmitted through the thin dance clothes.
Su Lingxi’s body trembled slightly. Yun Qianrou seemed to feel this subtle change, and the strength of her arms increased slightly.
Their cheeks were almost pressed together, their breaths intertwined, and it was unclear whose breath began to quicken.
What was going on? Why was this dance getting hotter and hotter today?
This was not the first time Su Lingxi had danced this dance with Yun Qianrou. They had rehearsed it usually. Why did it feel a little different today?
This dance was created by the two of them, so the audience felt it was very novel.
At the end of the song, Su Lingxi tacitly followed and lowered her center of gravity, her knees almost touching.
When the last drum beat fell, Su Lingxi used the force to jump towards Yun Qianrou.
Yun Qianrou caught her steadily, and the tips of their noses were less than half a fist apart.
Perhaps because of nervousness, a bead of sweat rolling down from the tip of Su Lingxi’s hair happened to drip on her own collarbone.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, Yun Qianrou reached out, her fingertips tracing Su Lingxi’s slightly cool skin.
“Sister Su, I’ll wipe it for you here…”
Su Lingxi bit her red lip and nodded.
The song ended, and Su Lingxi and Yun Qianrou’s dance finally ended.
For a time, thunderous cheers erupted in the Drunken Old Man Tower.
And in an unnoticed corner, a very conservatively dressed woman stood there.
Her cold back was in stark contrast to the cheering atmosphere of the crowd.
She seemed to have no emotions, her eyes resting on Su Lingxi, who was the center of attention on the stage.
The guest next to her had long shouted himself hoarse, his face flushed red.
Suddenly, the guest shivered and couldn’t help but sneeze.
“Strange, with so many people, why do I feel so cold?”
The guest turned his head again, and the woman just now suddenly disappeared, as if she had never been there.
The guest looked down suspiciously and saw that there were actually some rare ice crystals on the ground.
