Yixin prayed quietly, her gaze fixed on the tingling scalp under Leng Yixuan's watchful eyes as she slowly opened her mouth to say something.
However, at that moment, a melody reminiscent of a dream suddenly filled the stage.
Upon hearing this, Purple Robe's expression changed; she realized the performance had begun. No matter what she thought now, it would be pointless.
So, she merely pressed her lips together and remained silent.
Noticing this, Leng Yixuan couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly.
For some reason, he felt that today’s Purple Robe was acting strangely.
It seemed as if she was hiding something from him, something she hadn’t revealed.
But what could she possibly be concealing from him!?
Leng Yixuan was puzzled. However, as his gaze followed Purple Robe's line of sight and slowly turned toward the stage, he was struck like a bolt from the blue when he saw a familiar and enchanting figure up there!
On that grand stage, brightly lit with a pristine white wool carpet laid out beneath, eight girls dressed in green were performing the most graceful and synchronized dance.
Finally, as the green-clad girls gathered together and swiftly dispersed, a stunning maiden in a bright red dress emerged amidst them, showcasing the most perfect and elegant posture before everyone’s eyes.
When he caught sight of the Red-Clad Maiden's breathtaking beauty, the previously bustling surroundings fell into an eerie silence, as if even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
Immediately, a series of incredulous gasps echoed throughout the crowd.
Everyone's gaze towards the Red-Clad Maiden was filled with unabashed admiration.
The Red-Dressed Woman appeared like a lotus blossom, her Dark Eyebrows shaped like a crescent moon. Her ancient eyes sparkled with brilliance, captivating all who dared to meet her gaze!
Her skin was as fair as snow, clear and radiant, with soft black hair cascading down her back. Her slender waist was enchanting... it was a sight to behold.
Moreover, the blood-red rose depicted between her brows added an irresistible allure, enhancing her beauty to an extraordinary level, making her stunningly exquisite!
The young girl wore a flowing blood-red Veil and Silk Skirt that danced gracefully with her elegant movements, making her resemble a beautiful red rose blooming in the night. She was as graceful as a startled swan, leaving everyone in awe!
Truly, she was the Dancing Phoenix!
This dance seemed as if it had been crafted by the heavens for the girl.
With each movement, she captured countless souls and mesmerized many eyes!
Even after the Dancing Phoenix concluded her performance, the audience remained entranced by the enchanting display.
It wasn't until a long while later that a thunderous applause erupted, its volume reaching the skies!
Listening to the fervent clapping from below, Xin'er, who had just finished her dance in perfect form, felt her initial nervousness and anxiety gradually replaced by confidence and joy.
The pair of eyes, adorned with delicate eyeliner, appeared even more radiant and beautiful at this moment, sparkling with brilliant light.
It was as if they contained all the brilliance of the world, possessing a celestial clarity while also exuding an enchanting allure reminiscent of a fairy…
Such clear and captivating eyes caused a certain handsome youth seated in the audience to momentarily freeze. His excessively elongated and attractive Phoenix Eyes flashed with a fleeting look of astonishment.
The cherry blossom-colored lips parted slightly as she murmured.
“What a stunning beauty!”
“Indeed, this girl is truly beautiful; even the ladies of the harem cannot compare to her!”
Beside him, Aqing, hearing his master’s words, spoke from the heart, gazing at the Red-Clad Maiden on stage with complete awe, lost in admiration.
It wasn’t until he finished speaking that he seemed to realize he had said something inappropriate. He quickly covered his mouth with both hands, casting a furtive glance at his master with a hint of anxiety.
Seeing that his master hadn’t noticed his slip of the tongue, Aqing finally let out a sigh of relief.
After all, his master had repeatedly warned him not to mention anything about the palace…
Meanwhile, at the front of the stage—
“Purple Robe, you’ve done well!”
With a voice filled with deep dissatisfaction, it was none other than Leng Yixuan who spoke.
After recovering from the shock of the stunning performance, the awe-struck expression on Leng Yixuan's face was immediately replaced by anger.
He had to admit that the Dancing Phoenix was the most beautiful and breathtaking performance he had ever seen!
The dance lived up to its name, graceful as a startled swan!
However, what infuriated him the most was that the one performing the Dancing Phoenix was none other than Xin'er, the girl he had been thinking about day and night for the past ten days!
He had no objections to Xin'er dancing, but what on earth was she wearing!?
Could that outfit be shown to anyone!?
That large area in front exposed her beauty, and the hem of her skirt revealed her long, slender legs, enticingly teasing those who looked.
Not just men, even a sage would be moved upon seeing her.
Especially when Leng Yixuan noticed the intense gazes of all the men around him fixed on Xin'er—so hot and amazed—that they looked like hungry wolves. It made Leng Yixuan want to go mad.
He wished he could gouge out their eyes one by one!
After all, Xin'er belonged to him; her beauty could only bloom before him. How could anyone else desecrate her beauty!?
This was the reason why Leng Yixuan was the angriest she had ever been!
Upon hearing Leng Yixuan's displeased and furious words, and feeling the sharp, icy gaze directed at her, Purple Robe trembled in fear, her scalp tingling.
However, Purple Robe also knew that she had angered her master, so she could only lower her head in silence. If her master chose to reprimand her, she would accept it.
Yet, Leng Yixuan did not say much more. She shot a fierce glare at her before suddenly standing up from her seat and striding toward the backstage.
Seeing this, Purple Robe understood the reason behind Leng Yixuan's actions and chose not to follow. Instead, she sat back down in her seat, looking dejected as she sighed deeply.
"Ah, I've really caused trouble this time. What am I going to do!?"
...
Xin'er realized that in her sixteen years of life, she had never felt this confident before.
Looking at the astonished gazes from the crowd below, the excited cheers and applause, Xin'er felt her blood boiling with exhilaration.
She felt as if she were floating.
Moreover, she thought that it was truly unbelievable how far she had come.
She had never imagined that she would one day step onto a stage to dance.
Just moments ago, she had felt fear, anxiety, and unease.
However, once she stepped onto the stage, she poured all her energy into showcasing her most beautiful performance to the fullest.
Now, her efforts were evident to everyone.
What delighted her the most was the audience's admiration!
Thus, after receiving countless applause and cheers, Xin'er slowly walked off the stage, her heart fluttering with excitement as she made her way backstage.
Even now, she had yet to come down from that euphoric high.
But just at that moment, Xin'er felt a sudden darkness before her eyes.
Then, warmth enveloped her, and when Xin'er regained her senses, she realized that her body was tightly wrapped in a beautiful Purple Python Robe.
Seeing this, Xin'er was momentarily stunned. She looked down and reached out to touch the fabric.
The silky texture clearly indicated its high value.
Moreover, a faint Magnolia Fragrance wafted from the purple Dragon Robe, a scent unique to someone...
At this thought, Xin'er felt a jolt in her heart.
Suddenly, a wave of excitement and joy surged in her heart.
The little face, made even more radiant by the makeup, instantly blossomed with an expression of ecstatic delight.
"Xuan, you're back!"
As she lifted her beautiful eyes and saw the handsome man who had appeared beside her, Xin'er couldn't help but exclaim in joy.
However, in stark contrast to Xin'er's elation, there was not a trace of happiness on the man's face.
His perfectly chiseled features were cold, and his narrow, deep black eyes flickered with barely concealed anger.
Seeing this, Xin'er's smile gradually faded, replaced by a look of timid confusion as she softly asked the man.
"Xuan, what's wrong?"
"Who allowed you to dance!?"
Hearing Xin'er's words, Leng Yixuan spoke up, his voice low and tinged with unmistakable reproach.
At his words, Xin'er felt a jolt of surprise in her heart, her body trembling slightly as she looked at him with a mix of fear and uncertainty.
"Well, Sister Violet said that Sister Qing'er hurt her foot, so she asked me to help..."
"Xin'er," she said softly.
The cold expression on Leng Yixuan's face filled her with fear, and her hands, resting on her lower abdomen, were tightly intertwined.
Under normal circumstances, Leng Yixuan could not bear to see Xin'er looking so pitiful.
However, today he was far too angry.
After all, it had been ten days apart, and his longing for her had grown day by day. He had originally planned to see her the moment he returned, to be together and express how much he missed her.
Unexpectedly, just as he returned, she had given him such a 'surprise'!
Although he had to admit that she shone brilliantly on stage, dazzling and beautiful like a fairy, captivating everyone’s heart and soul!
Yet it was precisely because of her enchanting beauty that he felt so furious!
After all, her beauty should only be for his eyes! He would not allow other men to covet her allure!
Even just a glance from another man made him so angry that he wanted to gouge out their eyes!
Leng Yixuan thought angrily to himself, feeling as if the flames of rage within him were like an endless river, flowing continuously.
His gaze towards Xin'er was filled with intense fury.
Xin'er felt increasingly anxious and sad upon seeing this.
After all, it was the first time Xuan had been so angry with her.
And she had only danced once! What was there to be so angry about!?
The more she thought about it, the more upset Xin'er became.
"Xuan, please don’t be angry. From now on, I won’t dance anymore. Is that okay!?"
Although she loved dancing very much, if it meant avoiding Xuan's anger, she could give it up.
However, when Leng Yixuan heard Xin'er's words, he remained silent, only letting out a cold snort before turning and striding away.
Seeing this, Xin'er panicked.
Fearing that Leng Yixuan would truly be angry with her and ignore her, she rushed after him without a second thought.
In her haste to reach Leng Yixuan, Xin'er completely forgot that she was wearing the purple Dragon Robe draped over her shoulders.
The robe hung down to her feet.
So as she ran, she immediately stepped on the hem of the robe.
With a stumble, Xin'er let out a surprised gasp, and in an instant, she lost her balance and fell forward.
Hearing the cry behind him, Leng Yixuan was immediately startled. When he turned around and saw Xin'er about to hit the ground, his heart nearly leaped out of his chest.
He wanted to catch her, but the distance between them was too great, leaving him powerless.
Meanwhile, Xin'er, seeing that she was about to fall, closed her eyes in fear, bracing herself for the impending pain.
Just when she thought she would surely hit the ground, she suddenly felt a tight grip around her waist.
In an instant, she was pulled back by that force and tumbled into a warm, solid embrace...
Being securely caught, Xin'er's heart, which had been in her throat, finally relaxed.
Without thinking, she turned and wrapped her arms around the man's hands, saying, "Xuan, please don't be mad at me anymore, okay?!"
Xin'er believed it was Leng Yixuan who had caught her at the critical moment. Seizing the opportunity, she held onto his hands, hoping for his forgiveness.
However, after saying those words and waiting for a moment without receiving a response from him, confusion filled her heart. She lifted her little face and looked up.
But when her gaze landed on the unfamiliar face so close to hers, Xin'er was instantly struck as if by lightning.
As she came to her senses, realizing that she was lying in the arms of a stranger, Xin'er gasped in surprise. Without thinking, she immediately pushed the man away and took a step back.
However, in her haste, she accidentally twisted her ankle, causing her to lose her balance and fall sideways.
The man in white standing before her intended to reach out and catch her again.
But at that moment, someone was quicker than him.
"Xin'er, are you okay!?"
During her first fall, he hadn't been able to catch her in time, but this time he managed to hold her securely.
As he finally embraced Xin'er's petite form, Leng Yixuan couldn't help but feel anxious and worried.
Upon realizing that it was Leng Yixuan who had caught her this time, Xin'er felt her body go limp and leaned into his arms.
The sharp pain radiating from her ankle made Xin'er wince slightly, causing her delicate little face to scrunch up in discomfort.
Seeing Xin'er in such pain startled Leng Yixuan.
"Xin'er, where are you hurt!?"
"My ankle... I think I twisted it..."
Hearing the concern in the man's voice made Xin'er breathe a sigh of relief, though her tone carried a hint of playfulness.
"You just ignored me earlier..."
Thinking about how Leng Yixuan had turned away from her so coldly made Xin'er feel wronged.
As a result, her bright Beautiful Eyes quickly filled with tears, giving her a pitiful and delicate appearance.
Seeing this, Leng Yixuan felt a pang in his heart, and a wave of guilt surged within him.
After all, if he hadn't been angry and ignored her earlier, Xin'er wouldn't have fallen repeatedly while trying to chase after him and twisted her ankle.
It was all his fault!
Moreover, seeing her hurt pained him even more than it did her!
With this thought in mind, Leng Yixuan pressed his lips together tightly before speaking to the pitiful Little One in his arms.
"I won't ignore you anymore."
"Really!?"
Upon hearing this, Xin'er felt a surge of joy in her heart, and a smile of delight immediately blossomed on her face.
"Yes, really."
Seeing the girl's joyful expression, Leng Yixuan nodded in affirmation.
He also felt a pang of regret about what had just happened.
Why was he angry in the first place? It wasn't her fault, was it?
Moreover, he could see that she stood confidently on stage, captivating and charming. From this alone, he could tell how much she loved to dance.
With this thought in mind, Leng Yixuan turned to Xin'er and said, "The dance you performed just now was truly beautiful!"
"Uh!?"
Hearing his words, Xin'er was completely taken aback.
After all, just moments ago, he had been upset with her for dancing! How could his attitude change so suddenly? It left her utterly astonished.
With this in mind, Xin'er blinked her beautiful eyes in confusion and asked him.
"But you said you didn't like me dancing!?"
Seeing Xin'er’s puzzled expression, Leng Yixuan couldn't help but smile at her.
"I don't dislike you dancing; I just don't like you dancing in that outfit!"
Leng Yixuan spoke honestly. Upon hearing this, Xin'er wrinkled her nose and replied, "Well, I didn't want to wear this either. Sister Violet said..."
"Alright, no need to explain. I understand."
Interrupting Xin'er, Leng Yixuan spoke again.
Hearing this, Xin'er felt a wave of relief wash over her as she realized Leng Yixuan was no longer angry. After all, she had been terrified of his angry demeanor, and even now, the thought still sent shivers down her spine!
As Xin'er was lost in her thoughts, a light cough broke the silence nearby.
At the sound, Xin'er remembered that she had almost fallen earlier. Fortunately, someone had caught her just in time, saving her from a nasty fall.
However, it seemed she had never properly thanked that person!
Thinking of this, Xin'er felt a pang of regret in her heart. She then raised her head to look in the direction of the source of the light cough, and when she saw the Elegant Young Man in White, her delicate face immediately froze in surprise.
He was an exceptionally handsome young man.
Around seventeen years old, he wore a fine Ice Silkworm Robe that accentuated his tall and slender figure.
His long, glossy black hair was crowned with a Jade Crown, cascading down like a waterfall. His elegant brows arched gracefully, complemented by a straight nose and cherry lips.
What caught the eye the most were his strikingly narrow and beautiful Phoenix Eyes!
The outer corners of his eyes slanted slightly upward, giving him an air of nobility mixed with a hint of wildness and arrogance.
He resembled a proud and noble phoenix, high above all!
This was the first time Xin'er had ever seen such a beautiful pair of Phoenix Eyes! Consequently, her gaze lingered on the young man for a moment longer.
However, she did not notice that Leng Yixuan also took note of this, as his attractive brows furrowed slightly.
