Chapter 1217 (Choice)
Ye Hua's smile froze as he looked at Donghuang Baizhi beside him. 'Are you up to something?'
"No problem! As long as the girl can play an instrument, she can perform," the older woman said happily. The appearance of this girl was truly... indescribable, incredibly stunning.
"Baizhi, are you trying to cause trouble again?" Ye Hua held Donghuang Baizhi and spoke in a low voice.
Donghuang Baizhi pursed her lips and said, "You laughed at me first."
"Did I really laugh at you? Quickly apologise."
"No, you bullied me first. You should apologise first."
"Baizhi! I've noticed you've been a bit off these past few days."
"Whatever, whatever." Donghuang Baizhi dismissed Ye Hua's comment with a wave.
Ye Hua sighed, "Fine, if you dare to go, I'll call you Miss." [Basically divorce.]"I won't go! Sorry, my lord?" Donghuang Baizhi surrendered. She couldn't believe he would resort to such threats; could he not reason with her?
Patting the Empress's buttocks, Ye Hua looked at the older woman and said calmly, "You can leave now."
"Sir, it's not good to do this. How can you obstruct this girl's bright future?" the older woman persuaded, certain that this girl would become a top performer.
Ye Hua asked casually, "Why is it such a bright future? Singing a song here, what kind of future can she have?"
"Sir, you are mistaken. This is Viridian Sovereignty in Regal Nexus! The largest country, numerous aristocrats reside here. This girl is so outstanding; she will surely attract the attention of various lords. Imagine that scene; it must be unprecedented." As she spoke, the older woman became excited.
Ye Hua managed to extract some information. This place turned out to be one of the states in Nine Provinces and Five Seas, Regal Nexus.
Could there be such architecture here? It was quite interesting.
"He is my husband," Donghuang Baizhi said calmly, no longer playing games, revealing her identity.
The older woman was surprised. It was the first time she had seen a husband bring his wife to a brothel. Simply speechless.
Perhaps these two had peculiar tastes.
The older woman spat twice and left. Ye Hua said in a low voice, "If you dare to make trouble again, you'll be in big trouble."
"Hmph, if you're willing to hit me, just do it." Donghuang Baizhi found a seat casually and sat down.
Ye Hua chuckled. It seemed he had spoiled her too much recently, and she had developed some issues.
Sitting beside Donghuang Baizhi, Ye Hua ordered some snacks and, of course, some wine.
"I wonder what kind of place Dingzhou is and where the Donghuang Clan is located," Ye Hua said casually.
Donghuang Baizhi poured wine on the side, behaving quite well. She knew when to be mischievous and when to be sensible, and she managed the situation quite well.
"How about asking someone for information?" Donghuang Baizhi suggested.
"That would lose its meaning, like using cheats in a game. It's fun at first, but then it becomes boring," Ye Hua replied.
Donghuang Baizhi shook her head, "No, having cheats on all the time is always fun."
"You always find twisted reasons."
"You're the one with the most twisted reasons," Donghuang Baizhi said with a soft laugh.
Ye Hua gave a wry smile.
Suddenly... the hall dimmed!
Ye Hua felt it was a kind of spell, not real darkness. Quite interesting, using magic instead of technology.
A bright light shone on the central stage, where a woman in a white veil sat gracefully, holding a pipa in her hands.
As the woman appeared, the men in the audience cheered.
Ye Hua observed the woman. Although he couldn't see her face clearly, her proud posture suggested she was extraordinary.
"What's this? Are you interested in someone else?" Donghuang Baizhi teased. It was quite rare for Ye Hua to scrutinise another woman, and now it was happening right in front of her. ṛÀΝοꞖΕŝ
Ye Hua calmly said, "Indeed, I find her somewhat intriguing."
"Tch," Donghuang Baizhi scoffed, feeling a bit jealous. 'This jerk isn't actually falling for someone else, right?'
The enchanting voice started resonating, and everyone in the hall seemed captivated. Ye Hua couldn't help but admire the woman's skill.
The longer Donghuang Baizhi watched, the more uneasy she felt. Was this scoundrel really interested in someone else?
"Your eyeballs are about to fall out," Donghuang Baizhi couldn't help but remind him. She was walking by his side, and he should show some respect for his wife. [Basically he's ogling her so much that his eyeballs will fall out.]
Ye Hua ignored her, causing Donghuang Baizhi to feel even more jealous.
After a beautiful song, the woman stood up and bowed slightly to express gratitude.
The men below seemed crazy, shouting wildly. It seemed this woman had an extraordinary background.
"Wenwen! Wenwen! Wenwen!!!"
The woman named Wenwen nodded in acknowledgment but didn't leave immediately. Instead, the older woman came forward.
"Gentlemen, ladies, today is the day our Wenwen is officially presented. I wonder which lucky man will gain the favour of our Wenwen," she announced.
No wonder there are so many people here today; it turns out they've all come to try their luck.
On this presentation day, it's about choosing a man. Whoever she points to will be the chosen one, almost like winning a five-million lottery.
The men below were going crazy.
"Wenwen, I'm rich, and you won't have to worry about food and drink in the future."
"Wenwen, come with me; my father is the Gate Guardian!"
"Wenwen, my father is a minister!"
Various attempts to flaunt their fathers erupted instantly, as if they were pimping for their dads.
But the decision was up to Wenwen herself.
Curious, Ye Hua asked, "Baizhi, do you think she'll choose me?"
"Even if she chooses you, you can't accept!" Baizhi warned.
"Why not? It's a freebie," Ye Hua teased.
"If you dare to accept, I'll... I'll..." Donghuang Baizhi bit her lip, as if she was about to cry, hoping Ye Hua would console her.
"What will you do?"
"I won't talk to you anymore!"
"Haha!"
Ye Hua laughed at Donghuang Baizhi, finding it amusing that she still didn't know how to threaten him with something.
Ye Hua turned his head to look at Wenwen, curious about whom she would choose.
Wenwen observed her surroundings, appearing shy but earnest.
The older woman beside her whispered, "Wenwen, don't choose those young lords. You'll have a hard time in the future."
"Yeah, Wenwen knows."
Suddenly, Wenwen saw a man in the corner with long hair, dressed in a dark robe, exuding a cold aura.
Beside him sat a very beautiful woman.
Amongst the crowd, only this man caught Wenwen's eye.
"I've made my choice," Wenwen said in a low voice.
The people present were in shock; how could she have made a choice so quickly? Who was it?
Wenwen shyly lowered her head, resembling a young girl meeting her sweetheart for the first time.
Everyone was nervous, hoping for the stroke of luck to fall on them, bringing immense comfort.
However, a white light flashed.
This white light illuminated Ye Hua.
