NOVEL NEXT chapter 97
Chapter 97: Chapter 28 A Walk on the Stage
“Senior, it seems you scared the Sixteenth Princess.” Lin Qingxue looked at the fleeing figure of the Sixteenth Princess in astonishment.
She had heard many rumors about the Sixteenth Princess of Lie Country and knew that the Sixteenth Princess was a very mischievous child.
It seemed that even when facing the founding marshal known for his ferocity, the Sixteenth Princess was never afraid.
“I didn’t want her to be as annoying as last night, so I scared her a little.” He Youzhou said lazily, with his hands in his sleeves.
If he had known that the Sixteenth Princess would send her attendants to trouble him last night, he would have scared her then.
“Soon, there will be models on stage.” He Youzhou said softly.
“Models?” Lin Qingxue didn’t understand the term and asked instinctively.
“People who wear beautiful clothes and display them on stage.” He Youzhou said faintly.
He didn’t know about these things before, but novels and comics had broadened his horizons.
One could only say, as expected of ancient relics, the knowledge contained within them was indeed vast.
As if to confirm He Youzhou’s words, Zhao Linglong appeared on the stage where everyone could see her.
“Welcome everyone, I believe you are all eager to see the effects of our Yunshang exhibition’s clothes.”
“To let everyone see the effects directly, we specially invited girls to wear these dreamlike clothes.”
“And there will be a special guest wearing the Phoenix Feather Dress, you will surely be amazed.”
Zhao Linglong playfully winked at the audience and then snapped her fingers.
Everyone wanted to understand what Zhao Linglong was talking about and looked towards the stage.
Although it was not uncommon to invite girls to wear clothes, people were still looking forward to seeing what effect the clothes from Yunyi Chamber of Commerce would present.
Zhao Linglong didn’t continue to waste words. Soon, a young lady wearing a sea-blue dress adorned with scales walked to the front of the stage.
The left side of the dress had a high slit, while the right side was tightly sewn. This asymmetry gave the entire dress a unique beauty.
“This is truly a fairy descending to the mortal world.”
“Beautiful! Beautiful!”
“Such a stunning effect? When I saw this dress earlier, I didn’t think it would have this effect at all.”
Just the first dress alone made the audience exclaim in amazement.
The princess’s eyes lit up. Indeed, there was a world of difference between clothes hanging on a rack and being worn by a person.
If this dress were just hanging on a rack, the beauty of it couldn’t be conveyed at all.
“Sister, I really like this dress.” The sixteenth princess looked at the dress and felt an urge to buy it.
“Don’t rush, this is probably just an appetizer from the chamber of commerce. There will be more to come.” The princess knew very well that this was a marketing tactic by the chamber of commerce, and the best was yet to come.
What she looked forward to the most was the Phoenix Feather Dress. She really wanted to know who would wear that dress and how beautiful it would look when worn.
She just hoped that the Yunyi Chamber of Commerce wouldn’t disappoint her.
The young lady in the sea-blue dress gracefully bowed to everyone and then walked back.
As she left, the next young lady had already stepped onto the stage.
“This is the Yunshang Exhibition.” He Youzhou said with great emotion. The clothes displayed on the racks earlier were just a prelude.
But just as He Youzhou was eagerly waiting for the next young lady to take the stage, Cui’er came to his side, “Young Master He, may I interrupt you for a moment?”
“You’re the landlady’s maid?” He Youzhou immediately recognized Cui’er.
“Yes, thank you for remembering me.” Cui’er said softly.
Of course, her tone was soft, but her words were very clear.
“What do you need from me?” He Youzhou asked while watching the performance on stage.
“It’s about the competition my master mentioned to you earlier.” Cui’er said, “I need to explain the details to you inside.”
As she spoke, Cui’er gestured for He Youzhou to look in a certain direction, which seemed to be backstage.
“Isn’t the competition not starting during this time?” He Youzhou tilted his head, full of confusion.
“My master said you need to do a favor before your disciples can participate in the competition.” Cui’er still kept her head down.
He Youzhou touched his chin, feeling a bit strange, “Do a favor?”
“The young lady beside you cannot come in.” Cui’er said.
“I can’t follow the senior?” Lin Qingxue, like He Youzhou, felt that something was odd.
“Please forgive me, this involves many matters of the chamber of commerce.” Cui’er lowered her head and apologized to Lin Qingxue.
“Senior, are you going in?” Lin Qingxue looked at He Youzhou.
The decision naturally depended on He Youzhou.
“If it’s just a small favor, I don’t mind.” He Youzhou looked deeply at Cui’er.
“I assure you, it’s just a small favor.” Cui’er smiled, “And if you don’t want to help at that time, you can completely refuse.”
“Alright, let’s go.” He Youzhou nodded, “Qingxue, please keep my sword for me temporarily.”
“Understood!” Lin Qingxue responded quickly.
When she heard He Youzhou ask her to keep this iron sword, she felt a bit flattered.
She didn’t expect that the senior would be willing to entrust such an important sword to her. Does this mean that the senior already trusts her a lot? Maybe her chances of joining the Tianyan Sect this time would be very high.
“I will wait for you here!” she said. Even if she had to wait for hours like that day, she would wait.
She held He Youzhou’s sword in her arms, looking vigilant, afraid that someone might steal it.
He Youzhou followed Cui’er to the backstage, looking around the setup with some confusion.
There were many clothes here, and women’s embroidery was placed on the tables.
He even saw some girls putting on makeup and dressing up here, then taking a small path to the stage.
The more he looked, the more question marks filled He Youzhou’s mind.
“Young Master He, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” Zhao Linglong hugged He Youzhou’s waist from behind.
“In order to give your disciple a chance to participate in the upcoming competition, I’ve put in a lot, a lot, a lot of effort.” She said in a resentful tone, “I’ve even been taken advantage of more than once.”
“Madam, what do you want me to help with?” He Youzhou sighed. From her tone, he knew he couldn’t refuse.
“I want Young Master He to be a special guest.” Zhao Linglong said with a smile, snapping her fingers.
Cui’er pushed a cart over, and on it was the treasured Phoenix Feather Robe.
“Please put on the Phoenix Feather Robe and take a walk on the stage~”
