Martial Arts: Starting from a Seemingly Real System

The Luoyang Oiran Contest is in full swing and the competition is quite fierce. The most popular candidates for the title are Miss Yudie from Luoyang Hanchun Tower and Miss Yulu from Longxing City Yunyu Tower.

Because of her home performance, Miss Yudie received flowers worth 190,000 taels of silver in the first round. In the second round, she gave up the performance because she was too distracted to control herself, but still received 70,000 taels of flowers. In the third round, she won 290,000 taels, making the total value of her flower list an astonishing 550,000 taels. It's really terrifying!

In the first round, Miss Yu Lu only received 100,000 taels of flowers as a gift. But in the second round, she moved the whole audience with the song "The Last Hometown Resident" and successfully won 230,000 taels. The total score of the two rounds reached 330,000 taels, temporarily ranking fourth.

But, she still has one more chance to perform!

It is now, the last performance of the second day of the third round, and also the last performance of this Oiran Contest.

As long as she performs consistently, it may not be impossible for her to surpass Yudie in total score.

It is still unknown who will win!

"Deerlong, deerlong, deerlong, deerlong..."

There was a soothing sound of a pipa, and suddenly a big hole appeared in the center of the flower bed. A woman slowly rose from the hole. It was Yu Lu.

"Oh, what's going on?"

"Wow! So beautiful!"

Revealing things bit by bit can arouse people's curiosity to a greater extent.

This kind of opening, which was very common in the previous life, was rare at this time. Its appearance caused bursts of exclamations, which then turned into surprise and expectation.

This was of course Qiao Rui's suggestion. Since the flower bed can be transformed, why not make it look unique?

It is actually very simple. You just need to open a round hole in the center of the flower bed in advance, make the cover movable, and use a mechanical spring to control the lifting and lowering. When needed, the round cover can be lowered, and people standing in it can slowly rise to the flower bed.

Yu Lu was wearing a sky blue long-sleeved, narrow-collared dance costume with a red, yellow and green ribbon draped over her shoulders. The two ends of the ribbon were wrapped around her arms, fluttering in the wind.

She has her back to the audience, with half of her face turned over her right shoulder, her head slightly tilted, her eyebrows slightly lowered, her sleeves dancing, and then she puts them behind her back, with her right foot slightly raised and about to step down. Her hands behind her back seem to be spreading from the bottom to the sides, making her long sleeves flutter. Her expression is subtle and charming.

"Such an appearance and such an outfit are truly stunning!" Zhuo Yifei praised.

Cai Ling'er curled her lips when she heard this, but rarely did she refute.

After the opening chorus, the sound of the pipa enters the main melody, which is a famous pipa piece composed by Emperor Gengshi for a mysterious woman - Qinglian Yin. This piece of music is soothing and elegant, yet light and bright, which is in line with the true meaning of the Green Waist Dance.

Yu Lu followed the rhythm of the music, lightly stretching her arms and dancing with her long sleeves. Her graceful and delicate figure showed off her softness and beauty. Gradually, her movements changed from slow to fast, becoming faster and faster. Her body was so graceful and agile that she looked like a startled wild goose taking off.

“It is indeed:

There is a beautiful woman in the southern country, dancing with a light green waist.

......

I am only worried that I cannot catch it, so I fly away to chase after the startled wild geese. "

A scholar in the audience was reciting a poem while shaking his head, looking very intoxicated.

"The people are beautiful, the music is beautiful, the dance is beautiful, extremely light, extremely graceful, extremely elegant, it's just like a poem, a painting, and a dream!" someone nearby echoed.

“Even so, I’m afraid it still can’t beat the Jade Butterfly!” On the top of Zhuangyuan Building, Zhuo Yifei’s eyes showed admiration, but there was a hint of regret in his words.

Qiao Rui smiled but said nothing, the surprise was yet to come!

Just at this moment, there was a slight creaking sound, and four long iron rods suddenly extended upwards from all sides of the flower bed.

The iron rod is about two meters long and as thick as a wrist. It does not extend vertically, but is slightly tilted outside the flower bed.

Amid the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Yu Lu suddenly performed a few dance steps, walked quickly, then leaped out of the flower bed.

"Ah, be careful!"

"Danger!"

People spoke out to warn people, and some timid ones even covered their eyes, daring not to look at the tragedy that was about to happen next.

"From such a high platform, even if it is a beautiful woman, she would die an ugly death if she fell from it."

The jade dew jumped out of the flower bed, dancing and rising in the wind, like a fish leaping out of the water, proud and beautiful.

Just as she jumped to the highest point and was about to descend, a colorful ribbon flew out and immediately wrapped around the top of the iron pole.

Yu Lu held a colorful ribbon in her hand and flew over the heads of the crowd, then flew away into the distance.

"Wow, beautiful!"

“It’s so unique and incredible!”

After a moment's silence, everyone came to their senses and exclaimed in amazement and praise.

The cowardly man did not hear the scream he had imagined, and finally could not help opening his eyes to look, he saw the jade dew swinging high into the sky with the colored ribbon, and the colored ribbon suddenly retracted into the right hand, along the arm and shoulder, but flew out from the left hand and entangled another iron rod.

She was high in the sky, her clothes fluttering in the wind, her body dancing lightly, her movements graceful and elegant, just like a fairy from heaven descending to the earth. With a casual wave of her slender jade hand, flower petals fell like rain, landing on the people below the stage with a refreshing fragrance.

As light as a startled swan, as graceful as a swimming dragon, like flowing clouds covering the moon, like a breeze chasing snow!

The goddess flies!

Jade Dew floated and danced in the air around the flower bed on the iron pole, with an ethereal and graceful beauty. Some people were even almost fainted with excitement, as they had never been so close to such a fairy-like beauty.

When Yu Lu passed over their heads, they seemed to be able to touch the corner of Yu Lu's clothes with their hands, and petals fell into their palms. The fragrance was rich and intoxicating, and they couldn't help muttering to themselves: "Flying Goddess!"

"Flying Goddess! Goddess!"

"Goddess! Goddess!"

More and more people began to murmur, and their voices grew louder and louder, until finally, all the shouts in the audience merged into one voice.

"goddess!"

"You are still more skilled and have better skills!" Zhuo Yifei sighed. Seeing this scene, he knew he was going to lose, and he lost with conviction.

Qiao Rui nodded slightly, without much surprise on his face. Instead, he looked at the fairy-like figure flying in the sky. Why did this scene feel so familiar?

Amid the cheers and shouts of the crowd, Yu Lu suddenly exerted her strength and swung back to a position two or three feet high in the center of the flower stand. She retracted the ribbon with her right hand and waved her left hand in the air, scattering all the petals into the sky.

Yu Lu slowly descended from the sky. No one knew what magic she used, but her body descended extremely slowly. She floated in the falling rain of flowers, like a god or a fairy!

......

"Qiao Rui, the 'Dragon Subduing Palm' of Longxing City, praises Miss Yu Lu for her beauty and beauty, and presents her with ten first-grade peonies!"

"Hey, why is it this Qiao Rui again? Who is he to be so generous?"

"You don't know this? He caused a big disturbance in Shushan..."

"Hey, what are you talking about? The most important thing is to get on the charts!"

"Oh, yes! Hit the charts!"

In the end, Yu Lu actually won flowers worth 290,000 taels, with a total value of 620,000 taels, and she was undisputedly crowned the number one courtesan in the world!

"Congratulations, your life is saved!" Zhuo Yifei said with a smile.

The Oiran Contest was over and everyone left reluctantly, but Zhuo Yifei and the others were still chatting on the roof of Zhuangyuan Building.

Qiao Rui smiled and patted his head, "What a great head! I can drink for a few more years!"

Everyone laughed.

"Aren't you going to have a celebratory drink?" Zhuo Yifei pointed in the direction of Yuelai Inn, where people were celebrating with the sound of gongs and drums, and the noise could be faintly heard from a long distance away.

"I won't join in the fun. I'll go back to Dongcheng later and go directly to Songshan tomorrow morning!" said Qiao Rui.

"Where is that girl named Chu? Why don't you say goodbye to her? She spent more than 70,000 silver coins on you!" Cai Ling'er blinked and smiled.

"I can only find an opportunity to repay her favor in the future!" Qiao Rui sighed, feeling helpless.

The beauty’s kindness is so great that it is hard to accept. I really just treat her as my sister!
