Chapter 261: The Dance Begins!
Above Tang’an City, a spiritual ark shaped like a Vermilion Bird was flying over the city.
It was evening, and Tang’an City was brightly lit.
“The time has come. Look, the Vermilion Bird spiritual ark has appeared over Tang’an City.”
Someone in the Drunken Old Man Tower started it, and the whole building became restless.
Su Chen was right. The third floor of the Drunken Old Man Tower was an excellent viewing spot.
Yun Qianrou, Lin Ye, and the others had also taken their positions early, looking up at the Vermilion Bird spiritual ark.
Su Chen had even collected a large viewing fee for this, which was another considerable revenue.
The Drunken Old Man Tower was like this, and the streets were even more so.
The entire street was crowded, and many Vermilion Bird guards were maintaining order.
Even Hua Man Lou was closed today. They had also sold the best seats.
Various crowds squeezed together, and the noise was endless.
Yun Qianrou was still a little unaccustomed to this lively scene.
She covered her ears and looked carefully at the Vermilion Bird spiritual ark.
On the spiritual ark, two maids stood quietly on the left and right of Chu Lingque.
Apart from the necessary operators on the spiritual ark, there were only three people including Chu Lingque.
This was because at Chu Lingque’s request, she wanted to reduce interference from others during her dance offering.
But even so, under the order of the Vermilion Bird Emperor.
Not far from the Vermilion Bird spiritual ark, the Fourth Elder of the Vermilion Bird led the Vermilion Bird royal guards to ambush secretly a few miles away from the spiritual ark.
Once any mistake occurred during the dance offering, the Vermilion Bird Divine Sect, with the Fourth Elder’s strength and experience, would definitely be able to handle it properly.
“Your Highness, the time has come!”
The maid on the left reminded her.
“Alright!”
“You two step back first.”
The two maids took the order and retreated into the Vermilion Bird spiritual ark.
Chu Lingque changed into a crimson dance dress on the spiritual ark and walked to the center of the spiritual ark.
The Vermilion Bird spiritual ark did not fly high. If someone in Tang’an City could watch from a good position.
They could admire the full appearance and dance posture of the Vermilion Bird Goddess.
“Wow, is this the Vermilion Bird Goddess? She’s really beautiful…”
Yun Qianrou was stunned and couldn’t help sharing with Su Chen on the side.
But Su Chen ignored her. Yun Qianrou turned her head suspiciously.
She saw that Su Chen’s eyes were glued to Chu Lingque, and saliva was drooling from the corner of his mouth.
Yun Qianrou: “……”
“Watch your image!”
Many fanatical fans of the Vermilion Bird Goddess had already begun to shout, their voices no less than thunder.
The scene returned to the Vermilion Bird spiritual ark.
Chu Lingque’s figure was graceful, like a bright star, attracting all the eyes of the world.
She looked at Tang’an City under the spiritual ark and took a deep breath.
The dance offering began.
At this moment, Chu Lingque opened her red lips and let out a crisp chant.
The voice was like the sound of nature, reaching straight to the heart, as if carrying some mysterious power, making the surrounding air tremble.
At the same time, her body began to dance, her movements light and agile, and every posture seemed to be telling an ancient and mysterious myth of the Vermilion Bird Divine Nation.
This was the Vermilion Bird Fluttering Dance inherited from the Vermilion Bird Divine Spirit.
Passing on hope and blessings.
Then, an ethereal and melodious prayer song flowed from her mouth, the melody seeming to carry the power to penetrate the soul, echoing leisurely between heaven and earth.
“Pray for the Divine Nation, may blessings be enjoyed forever, disasters dissipate, and prosperity last forever.”
Chu Lingque slowly entered the state, and the Vermilion Bird Emperor behind her couldn’t help but applaud.
“Not bad, not bad. It seems my precious daughter has indeed worked hard during this time.”
“Is the recording stone recording?”
The Vermilion Bird Emperor said to the eunuch on the side.
“Reporting to Your Majesty, it is recording.”
“Very good…”
Although the Vermilion Bird Emperor was satisfied with Chu Lingque’s current state, he was also a little nervous for her, because this was not yet the most critical part.
This was also because this dance offering was too important.
With Chu Lingque’s dancing and singing, the world around the spiritual ark seemed to be infected by the divine power of the Vermilion Bird Fluttering Dance and the prayer song.
Another turn, and the Bloodline Wings opened directly behind Chu Lingque.
A huge projection of the Vermilion Bird Divine Spirit appeared above the Vermilion Bird spiritual ark. With the spreading of the Bloodline Wings, a red light burst from her forehead and shot straight into the sky.
Above the sky, this red light briefly dispelled the darkness of Tang’an City.
Then, these red lights fell on the land of the Divine Nation like a meteor shower.
Wherever they passed, dead trees sprouted new buds, and dry rivers surged again.
The Vermilion Bird Fluttering Dance brought worldly spiritual energy to Tang’an City, and the worldly spiritual energy turned into specks of golden light and fell into Tang’an City.
The people of Tang’an City knelt along the street, reaching out their hands to catch the specks of golden light, hoping to be tainted with some of the Vermilion Bird Goddess’s blessings.
Yun Qianrou couldn’t help but reach out to catch it. The specks of golden light fell into her palm and melted directly into her body.
She felt her body warm.
“So magical…”
“These golden lights are all prayed for by Her Highness the Goddess from the Vermilion Bird Divine Spirit. Seeing this scene, I have no regrets in life.”
If Su Chen’s culture wasn’t limited, he would have wished to recite a poem on the spot.
The dance gradually reached its climax, and the Goddess’s movements became faster and more powerful. She spun rapidly, her skirt flying, like a burning flame.
“May my Divine Nation prosper forever, for thousands of generations, and glory never cease!”
With the perfect ending of the last dance step, the Bloodline Wings on Chu Lingque’s body turned into light dust filling the sky.
There was a trace of fatigue on Chu Lingque’s face, but more of it was relief.
She knew that this prayer dance for the Lantern Festival had succeeded, and she had not disappointed her Father Emperor and everyone’s expectations.
Chu Lingque turned and slowly knelt down to the projection of the Vermilion Bird Divine Spirit.
“Thank you for the gift of the Vermilion Bird Divine Spirit. On behalf of the people of Tang’an City, I express my best wishes to you!”
As soon as the words fell, the sound of salutes in Tang’an City was endless, and the entire Tang’an City fell into unparalleled excitement.
The projection of the Vermilion Bird Divine Spirit slowly dissipated, and Chu Lingque got up and came to the front of the spiritual ark.
She ordered the Vermilion Bird spiritual ark to lower its altitude so that she could greet the people of Tang’an City up close.
When Chu Lingque smiled and waved to the people.
This also allowed more people to witness the true face of Her Highness the Goddess.
