Chapter 872 Dancing at the Banquet
“Miss, are we really going to dance there?”
Pretending to be dancers was just a temporary solution. Moreover, Baisu had never learned how to dance. She could fight and kill, but she could not dance with her hips twisted...
It would be better to just kill her!
“It’s not difficult. Besides, I also want to see what this Xin Family is up to.”
She was afraid that it was just an excuse to welcome Xiaoyu.
The man who came here just now also didn’t just want to see the dancers brought by Xiaoyu.
“Well, it’s OK for me. But the girl you brought seems to be unable to dance at first sight. If she learns it now, I don’t know if it’s too late.”
Qinghu said gloatingly. Lin Mengya rolled her eyes at him and looked at Baisu thoughtfully.
It was probably too late to learn it now.
But the dance could be replaced with something else for the time being.
People at the banquet were still toasting each other. Although it was late at night, many candles had been lit in the garden.
The shadows were swinging gracefully, creating a different and interesting atmosphere.
After seeing his sister come here, Xiaoyu felt a little uneasy in his heart.
He knew his sister’s character very well. She would never take the initiative to stir up trouble for him.
But for them, this place was so dangerous, like a dragon’s pond or a tiger’s den.
Perhaps he should find an opportunity to leave early so that his sister and the others would not encounter any danger.
“The people brought by the Ninth Prince are really extraordinary. I’ve seen a lot today.”
Xin Mu, who had just left the table, returned and said with a gentle smile.
Wanyan Yu was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of his sister, who was still in the Xin Family. He felt a little cold in his heart, but his face showed a trace of doubt.
“What do you mean, my second uncle?”
Xin Mu looked at his nephew in front of him with unfathomable expressions. Although they had only been in contact for a few days, this child was far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface.
If they had not broken with Madame Jingrou at that time, this person would have been their chance.
Unfortunately, they were no longer relatives now.
In this case, they should eliminate such a huge potential threat as soon as possible.

They are different from the people in a small place like Yushan County. I’m really looking forward to their performance later. By the way, they could also let the people in Xin Family broaden their horizons.”
He slightly narrowed his eyes and stared at the young man in front of him.
However, there was no sign of nervousness on the young man’s handsome face. On the contrary, there was an extremely superficial sense of smugness.
“I selected them on my own. I don’t dare to say anything else, but in terms of the selection of singers and dancers, my second uncle may not be better than me.”
The smug tone in his voice was quite different from the steady voice a royal son should have.
However, Wanyan Yu had gained a rising reputation and more and more support among the people before. So, they must beware of him.
Or should his reputation and support come from the efforts of the Emperor and Wanyan Lie?
It was still too early to draw a conclusion. Xin Mu carefully observed everything about the Ninth Prince and did not believe that he would never show any flaws.
Unlike the calmness on the surface, in fact, Xiaoyu was a little anxious in his heart.
“How could his sister, who was obsessed with medicine all day, dance?”
Among the three of them, Qinghu, the only man, might be the only one who knew how to dance.
The other two... Alas, it’s really hard to say.
Xiaoyu couldn’t help sighing in his heart. It seemed that he had to act according to circumstances later.
When the Xin Family’s dancers finished their dance, they saluted and left.
Soon, the news that the dancers brought by the Ninth Prince were about to dance spread. The guests invited by the Xin Family were all staring carefully at the middle of the banquet.
They wondered what kind of dance the people brought by the Ninth Prince would show to them.
The sound of traditional stringed and woodwind instruments weakened, leaving only the sound of a harp in the night sky.
The sound of the harp was mellow and varied. Although the tune it played was not well-known, it had a kind of distinctive and refreshing beauty.
A girl in white walked out slowly with a mask on her face, and she held a slender jade sword in her hand.
With the soft music, she slowly started to swing the sword. All her moves were marked by the heroic beauty that only a woman could have.
Compared with the weak and pitiful dance, the girl’s sword dance had a charm that couldn’t be looked down upon.
But in ordinary dances, the sword dance was also common. And some could be more charming and beautiful than this woman’s dance.
Therefore, although the sword dance was beautiful, it was not highly appreciated by too many people.
But then, the sound of the harp changed, and the girl’s sword dance became more and more complicated.
The jade sword was so graceful in her hand that she looked like a martial arts master.
But what everyone was more curious about was that although the girl was masked, her dance steps were deliberately messy, as if she was avoiding or fighting against something.
People’s eyes were attracted by the girl who seemed to be fighting with someone.
In the end, the girl suddenly jumped out and ran to the back of the crowd in a hurry. She was a little flustered, as if she was getting rid of something.
At this time, the sound of the harp became a little weird and romantic, accompanied by the sound of drums with a strong rhythm.
The moon was cold, but the banquet was bustling with noise and excitement.
The candlelight was swaying, and the drums seemed to be able to shake the hearts of the people. So everyone couldn’t help but stretch their necks to see what other special performances they had.
A swaying figure walked over from the darkness slowly.
At the banquet, as the figure got closer and closer, a sweet fragrance, which seemed to be able to enchant people’s hearts, gradually wafted over.
That fragrance was like a rope, which could easily hook people’s hearts into intoxication.
Xin Mu also smelled the exotic fragrance, but after he sniffed it, his eyes changed slightly.
“I didn’t expect that I could smell the exotic fragrance Dream Soul Intoxication from a dancer. It seems that the Ninth Prince really spent a lot of effort on this group of singers and dancers.”
In response to Xin Mu’s test, Wanyan Yu just smiled and said nothing.
But in fact, he didn’t know what was Dream Soul Intoxication at all. He only knew that the fragrance seemed to be similar to that of his sister’s blood.
The sweet fragrance was extremely pleasant, but in fact, it had a slight hallucinogenic effect.
This was the poisonous fragrance made by Lin Mengya who had used several kinds of poisons that could cause hallucinations or paralyze people’s nerves.
But it was out of the room, so there was no harm to the human body.
At most, it would make people dizzy. Once the fragrance wore off, they would soon recover, and it would not affect any physical function.
This thing was developed by her when she was studying poisons on the road a few days ago.
In the whole world, she was the only one who dared to use these poisons as perfumes.
As for the so-called Dream Soul Intoxication, it actually had a similar effect.
Although Xin Mu had never smelt it before, he thought it could be Dream Soul Intoxication as he saw everyone’s reaction.
The figure slowly emerged from the darkness, and everyone gasped.
If the girl who wielded the sword before could be regarded as a pretty and swaying human girl, then the girl in the moon-white dress in front of them was like a witch in the legend.
She was not terrifying in appearance. Instead, she was charming and touching.
Her pretty eyes were slightly raised on her little face, and the upward eyeliners seemed to be able to provoke people’s hearts.
There was an extremely bewitching peach blossom on her cheek. It was exceptionally enchanting on her fair face.
Her long hair was as black as ink, but it was coiled up by her with big and beautiful peony flowers.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe moon-white clothes were supposed to be pure, but her slender ankles were exposed. When she raised her hands occasionally, her shoulders could be seen vaguely, which all made the girl have the seductive power of a witch.
At the first sight of her, people would only feel that this woman was extremely glamourous.
But the more they looked at her, the more they felt that she seemed to be able to provoke everyone’s desire hidden in the depth of their hearts.
But no one dared to show any contempt or obscene attitude to her.
It was because although the woman’s eyes were extremely charming, they were also extremely cold and indifferent.
She seemed to disdain everything in this world. Even a powerful person was no more than an ant in front of her.
She had a kind of charm that was superior to all living things. Only a real witch could have such a look.
With extremely graceful steps, Lin Mengya became the most powerful and beautiful witch in the world, dancing and twisting her waist in the middle of the banquet.
The girl who had just left came back again, but this time, they fought with each other.
The sword-dancing girl seemed to fight against that witch, but the witch was extremely powerful. With just a raise of her hand, it was enough to brush away the girl’s attack.
Because of the poisonous fragrance, everyone was attracted by this fight between the girl and the witch hiding in the dance.
Therefore, almost no one noticed that their cooperation was not smooth, and it even seemed a little raw.
Soon, the fight between them reached its climax. The girl who was waving the sword seemed to be going to perish together with the witch. At this time, the music was a little hoarse, as if it was mourning for the girl.
In the end, the girl wanted to stab the witch’s heart with her sword.
But the witch quickly moved away, and the two disappeared into the darkness together.
The music changed from intensity to sorrow. Although no one was dancing anymore, the music continued.
Everyone seemed to have thought of the end of the girl who fought against the witch. The jade sword was tossed out, and with a crisp sound, it lay there alone, suggesting a myriad of possibilities.
The sound of drums disappeared, and the sound of the harp was light.
Finally, it came to the last bar of the music. When the music ended, the sweet fragrance that filled their nostrils faded away.
As if they had just woken up from a dream, everyone was replaying what they had just seen.
A fight without an end between the human and the witch left everyone imagining an end they wanted as they enjoyed it.
Xin Mu gently exhaled. Although he knew that there was something wrong with the fragrance, he could not help but be attracted by it.
To be honest, the girl who played the witch was too beautiful, yet too tempting.
It was not only a man’s desire for a woman but also a demon hidden deep in everyone’s heart.
After calming down a little, Xin Mu was astonished by the singer brought by the Ninth Prince.
But what was more worthy of his attention was Wanyan Yu, who brought this group of dancers and singers.
“Was he suggesting something by doing this?”
