Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack
Chapter 1516 - 1496: The Battle Begins! (5)
"Yes, yes, super handsome." Luo Qianqian also couldn’t help but laugh, raising her eyebrows at the three people standing nearby, before calmly landing and saying, "Shall we have a dance?"
Saying this, she and Huangfu Yihui began to play music with a flute and a xiao, completely ignoring the serious occasion.
Huangfu Yihui harmonized with Luo Qianqian’s performance, while He Wenyu stood aside with a black line on her face. Why at such a solemn event did she have to listen to "Counting Ducks"...
Moreover, she didn’t think she could dance to this familiar music, apart from the wrong instruments, it seemed to have a bit of an absurd vibe?
He Wenyu looked at Luo Qianqian in confusion and saw her wink, resignedly spreading her hands and placing her arms at the sides of her waist: "A group of ducks swims under the bridge at the front door..." Why did she have to dance this kindergarten kid’s dance here?
Duck, duck, jump, jump, wobbling left and right like a child, she really didn’t want to...
If she could choose, she would prefer pop music, dance something full of vitality; this makes her feel like she never wants children in this lifetime, it’s kind of a shameful way to entertain kids.
Luo Yanhai and Bai Yizhu also opened their mouths wide. Were they supposed to dance along too?
Hesitantly looking at Luo Qianqian, they saw her with a somewhat threatening look, resignedly lowering their heads, faces blushing, following He Wenyu’s movements, slowly hopping.
Even Old Master Luo in the VIP seats couldn’t help but widen his eyes. What were these kids doing? Why would they dance here spontaneously, and it’s such a childish dance? Perhaps it could even be called a kindergarten exercise? It certainly didn’t seem like a dance for adults.
Yue Tingyu silently took out her camera, full of surprise yet not forgetting to take some photos as keepsakes for family members who weren’t present.
Luo Xisi and Luo Xihan were calmly eating popcorn.
Luo Xisi: "Feels like watching a kids’ holiday performance? But we never even attended kids’ school gallery performances, right? Even if the school had activities, it was mostly the moms that went. Not to mention daughters... we don’t have that luck, do we?"
Luo Xihan: "Listen to what you’re saying, the third brother has a daughter but he never attended one either, right? Comparatively, we’re still lucky; at least we get to see them, slightly happier than him."
"That’s right," Luo Xisi also smiled slightly, showing a good mood.
Compared to the third brother, they’re much luckier, having had quite a lot of time to spend with their little niece, right?
In contrast, Yang Feng looked at the stage, slightly furrowing his brows: "Your granddaughter is truly something special, huh?"
Although at the beginning the music played was indeed ordinary, once the boy playing the xiao mastered the whole tune, he changed the content, even bringing a seductive power that made him feel restless inside.
There was a feeling of wanting to dance along with the people on stage.
Maybe it’s because of the long distance, but how would those closest from the Overbearing Sect react?
And because everyone was facing each other, standing at the back with the music sheet pasted on Huangfu Yihui’s back, Luo Qianqian went unnoticed.
Her face was somewhat pale, consuming quite a bit of spiritual power and strength to let the music permeate throughout the entire stage. Severe fatigue proved this was not just ordinary music but a mental attack.
And the first ones affected were none other than the regular audience members without any cultivation foundation. The mental attack was entirely beyond what they could bear, so they quickly became influenced, sitting in their chairs, dancing along with those three stiffly moving individuals.
However, the biggest advantage of the nursery rhyme was that after dancing for a while, embarrassment would be set aside, turning into comfort.
So, He Wenyu soon dropped the embarrassment, deciding to wear a mask when going out, mimicking the Huangfu Brothers. Hide her identity to avoid being recognized as the one who danced the ’Counting Ducks’ dance at the Sect Conference. Thankfully, not many people know her yet, so it’s unlikely she’ll be recognized.
Thinking about this, it seemed that Luo Yanran actually went through quite some hardships; whatever he did was always under a lot of people’s radar.
After the audience got affected, it wasn’t long before people from the Overbearing Sect started to be influenced as well.
People from the Overbearing Sect further focused on body refinement, their cultivation not particularly strong in defense, and the spiritual power wasn’t very formidable either. Compared to other cultivators, their spiritual power was even slightly weaker.
And Luo Qianqian’s music through the Water Spirit Flute could be said to be an extension of her spiritual power. Her spiritual strength among the cultivators could be described as strong enough, and she was enhanced by the Star Beast later on. How could that be within the reach of ordinary people?
So...
"Click, clack."
As the five meat mountains swayed back and forth, the stage finally couldn’t withstand the pressure and collapsed with a crash. Cracks extended from underneath their feet to the entire platform; the already full-of-holes stage, just like Sue Hua, the cracks spread in their activity range. Thankfully, the Overbearing Sect was quite adept at controlling their power without collapsing the stage during movement.
Indeed there had been records of platform collapses, but those were all due to ultra-strong attacks, this was entirely from stamping, and could be said to be the first example in the history of the Sect Competition.
And following that, the other side of the stage became precarious due to the activities of the five meat mountains, as the platform cracked underneath their feet, causing all five people to sway uncontrollably, their wobbling even more spectating than He Wenyu’s swaying.
Finally, one of them uncontrollably leaned toward the direction of collapse and was about to fall in an instant; someone beside hurriedly reached out to grab them.
"Iroha, Roie..." Watching the other’s movements, He Wenyu calmly raised her arms, extending them to both sides, starting to wave and twist her body in a gesture of a hula dance.
At this moment, Luo Qianqian also stopped playing, holding onto Huangfu Yihui to support herself. After all...unseen by others, she was holding dozens of daggers. Consuming a large amount of spiritual power. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
After recovering slightly, various information flashed in Luo Qianqian’s mind, and after simple calculations, she was clear on the situation. Even without doing anything, it could actually become a tie now.
However, the remaining spot beneath the five from the Overbearing Sect was quite precarious.
Her mouth curled into a smile: "It’s our turn to take the stage." She gently patted Huangfu Yihui on the shoulder, Luo Qianqian pulled out her small bow, tightly grasping it in her hand.
Huangfu Yihui immediately furrowed his brows: "Our attack is ineffective against them, isn’t it? We can’t break through their defense at all."
