The music lingered, ethereal and enchanting, until Xiaobai pressed his palm against the strings of the guqin, abruptly halting the beautiful melody.
Xue Feifei suddenly opened her eyes. "Why did you stop?"
With a sweeping motion of his wide sleeves across the guqin, Xiaobai raised his chin, his expression haughty as he disdainfully remarked, "Such poor dancing skills do not deserve to accompany my music."
Jojo, upon hearing this, was instantly furious, pointing at Xiaobai with his signature delicate gesture. "You... you... outrageous!"
Xue Feifei watched him with keen interest. "Oh? I wonder what insights Xiaobai has?"
"The pinnacle of dance in the world is undoubtedly the Hu Xuan Dance. The dancer, in rapid spins, showcases a graceful form, like a butterfly fluttering its wings, poised to take flight. It can be aptly described as 'with a sound of strings and drums, both sleeves raised; snowflakes swirl as one dances in a spinning motion.'"
"Oh?" Xue Feifei smiled alluringly, her tone mocking. "I've heard that Xiaobai keeps musicians and dancers for entertainment. When it comes to such exquisite skills, I truly cannot compare to you."
Her beautiful eyes sparkled as she teased, "Isn't that right, Your Highness? Oh no, I mean Former Crown Prince. Then please, Xiaobai, show us your dance."
The veiled taunts did not stir any ripples in Xiaobai's heart; he remained indifferent. After a moment's hesitation, he stood up and bowed deeply, seriously stating, "Xiaobai wishes to teach you the Hu Xuan Dance."
"Me?" Xue Feifei pointed at herself in confusion. "But I can't see myself dance."
Xiaobai smiled slightly. "Perhaps you have not experienced it; dancing yourself can be quite a delightful affair."
Xue Feifei's eyes darted around as she pondered, half-believing. "Is that so?"
"You possess a beauty akin to that of a celestial being, your figure as slender as willows swaying in the breeze. When you dance the Hu Xuan Dance, it would surely captivate all like the Yao Tai Fairy."
These words were quite useful, and Xue Feifei quickly dismissed everyone, asking Xiaobai to teach her how to dance. Although Xue Feifei was a bit outrageous, she was also intelligent and perceptive; with just a little guidance, she could grasp the concepts. However, since she was still new to it, she wasn't very skilled yet. Every time the beat quickened slightly, she would lose her balance.
"Ouch..." She fell to the ground once again, frustration written all over her face as she pounded the ground in annoyance.
Xiaobai hurriedly helped her up and comforted her, "It's okay, you're already doing great."
Xue Feifei raised her head playfully and retorted, "Really? Then why aren't you looking at me?"
Xiaobai pondered for a moment, awkwardly lowering his head, a faint blush appearing on his cheeks. He cleared his throat and quickly changed the subject, "Actually, when I was in the palace, music and dance were not as captivating as illusions. They are not as..."
He smiled slightly, his deep eyes glimmering with a hint of light. "How about I perform for you?"
"Sure! That sounds great!"
Xiaobai found a rope and said, "You can tie me up."
"Huh?" Xue Feifei paused for a moment, an evil thought popping into her mind. She mischievously wiped the corner of her mouth and chuckled inwardly: Who would have thought that Xiaobai had this side to him?
Without hesitation, Xue Feifei swiftly tied Xiaobai up, her mind racing with ideas on how to tease him.
"Close your eyes." Her gentle words felt like a spell.
Xue Feifei obediently closed her eyes and waited for a while without hearing the next instruction. "Are you done yet?"
Xue Feifei opened her eyes impatiently, only to see Xiaobai leaning gracefully against the beautiful couch, dressed in flowing robes that made her look like a fallen celestial being. Holding a porcelain cup, she sipped tea with an air of elegance, completely absorbed in the moment. Unable to help herself, Xue Feifei gasped in awe, then glanced at the ropes on the ground, which remained intact.
Xiaobai raised an eyebrow and casually asked, "Want to learn?"
Xue Feifei's eyes sparkled like a puppy's as she nodded eagerly.
"It's simple; you just need to recite the incantation I teach you," Xiaobai said, picking up the ropes and binding Xue Feifei's hands and feet.
With excitement bubbling inside her, Xue Feifei asked, "What incantation? Hurry and teach me!"
Suddenly, Xiaobai revealed a cryptic smile. She extended her long, slender finger and gently traced it along Xue Feifei's cheek, moving down to her neck, collarbone, and finally gripping her clothing tightly.
Realizing something was amiss, Xue Feifei exclaimed in panic, "What are you doing?"
Xiaobai deepened her enigmatic smile and abruptly yanked at Xue Feifei's clothes. Startled, Xue Feifei shut her eyes tight. With a tearing sound, before she could react, something was stuffed into her mouth.
"Mmm... mmm..."
"Enduring hardships for future gains, breaking free from constraints, bearing humiliation for greater strength—these are all lessons you've taught me."
Xiaobai leaned close to Xue Feifei's ear, her warm breath sending shivers down Xue Feifei's spine. "Let me return the favor: all's fair in love and war."
