She had flawless features, riveting eyes, and an enchanting smile.
Mei Niang was Bai Yue’s Dao Protector, but since her charge returned to Myriad Mountains, where the realm-renowned literal Immortal Slayer Chen Changan settled, she did not worry about Bai Yue’s safety.
She thus went back to roaming the Mortal plane, to dull the dullness of living.
Today’s persona was Misty Pavilion’s Enchantress. She sure had the looks, the demeanour, and the style to enchant all the cultivators in Misty Pavilion.
Even Chen Changan was taken. [She’s hot, hot, HOT!]
He’d never imagined the tiny Misty Pavilion of Dragonised City would have such a fine specimen. Her looks were at the level of Bai Yue, Ah’Miao, Jiang Yuchan, Hong Yi, and others. [Especially that bod!]
Mei Niang sat on the round stool, a wooden zither in front. She smiled, taking one’s soul away. Her dainty finger traced the strings, sending music through the hearts of all, touching their deepest recesses.
Chen Changan squinted, “Nice skills.”
A girl asked, “Honoured guest, you know how to play the zither?”
“Only a little.” He had dabbled in string instruments back on Earth, to chase skirts, of course, but he crossed over before he got the chance to put his skills to the test. It brought back endless regret.
Now that he saw Mei Niang play, his fingers itched, but not enough for him to go out there and take over.
[It’s great if I can play for the ladies, but this place has mostly men.] All their interests were the same as his when they came here. To listen to a woman’s playing, dance, grab a girl, and not listen to a man do it.
Chen Changan had no intention of entertaining men.
The mood became peaceful along with Mei Niang’s playing. Her bright smile showed her confidence in her skills.
[For so many years spent in the Lower Realm, I’ve dedicated so much time and effort to gain more insights in Dao that now I’m one with the zither.] Mei Niang believed no Lower Realm cultivator at the Misty Pavilion could withstand her playing. But as her charming eyes roamed the upper floor, she flinched.
[He’s not intoxicated by my music?] Mei Niang stared straight into Chen Changan’s room.
Chen Changan found the music nice, but that was it. It was not up to Earth’s level.
He even showed a trace of boredom, hoping the enchanting woman would start moving her hips. A bit of dancing would sure get him going.
Chen Changan found his tending girls were all taken by the music and sighed. [Is it that good?]
As Mei Niang finished her performance, she rested her hand on the strings, letting the sounds subside into silence.
The crowd looked to be yearning for more, sighing at the marvellous music.
“Mei Niang’s playing is sublime and melodious.”
“It rises and falls, endless and soothing. Yet it contains such passion, like that of a dream. I’ve never heard a better performance in my life.”
“Mei Niang deserves to be Misty Pavilion’s Enchantress. Her beauty, coupled with exquisite playing, will make her the best in Dragonised City, no, Ghost Province.”
…
The cultivators were praising Mei Niang in every aspect they could think of, all so they could win her favour.
Winning her smile and having a lovely night together couldn’t be better.
On the first floor, Chen Changan shook his head. He’d seen their type more times than he could count. [Simps, the lot of them.]
Enchantress covered her chuckle, yet it still dominated the scene. “Thank you, everyone. But my skills are only average. Would a Young Master care to address my lack of zither skills?”
A cultivator spoke out from a room, “Mei Niang’s skills are perfect. You’ve practiced for a long time in playing the zither, so how can it be mediocre? I believe it to be flawless!”
Another cultivator spoke, at the Golden Core Stage. “Yes, yes, of the many zither performances I’ve heard, Mei Niang’s rendition is the best.”
The cultivators rained praises.
Mei Niang smiled. She was an Upper Realm Immortal Lord whose zither Mastery was related to her cultivation path. Her performance at the Misty Pavilion was a stroke of luck and the fortune of a lifetime for the people here.
Not even an Immortal Slayer could give Mei Niang tips on how to play, let alone these guys.
Mei Niang giggled, then blinked at a room on the first floor. “However, I find that someone can teach me more.”
The crowd was perplexed, turning to look where Mei Niang was staring.
