Lingbo Pavilion’s Dancers were entirely different in style from those of the Flower Fairy Building in Flower Fairy Valley. The dances at the Flower Fairy Building possessed a delicate beauty characteristic of won; their Dancers appeared delicate, more easily invoking a man’s protective instincts. Lingbo Pavilion’s Dancers, on the other hand, possessed a sharp, almost fierce beauty in their movents. They had a dashing and heroic deanor, and their attire was notably bolder.
As ti passed, the empty seats within Lingbo Pavilion grew increasingly scarce, and the ti for the rfolk performance drew nearer.
"This Fellow Daoist, may I share a table with you?" a sowhat timid voice sounded.
Chen Jiuge looked toward the source of the voice. It was a Divinity Transformation Cultivator of unremarkable appearance, wearing a plain Vestnt robe. His hands were clasped in a greeting gesture, but Chen Jiuge noticed his fingers underneath were nervously intertwined. A shy Cultivator indeed, a rare sight.
"Sure," Chen Jiuge agreed. He had reserved a large table that could accommodate eight people, originally intending for Ao Li and Li Kui to join him and watch. Unexpectedly, neither of them was interested.
For Li Kui, sleeping more seed more appealing. As for Ao Li, he was preoccupied with caring for the young creatures he bought at Five-Colored Immortal City. They were running amok in his portable space. Although mostly Aquatic Spiritual Beasts, his collection included creatures like floating jellyfish and two-legged sea fish—quite an array of unique Spiritual Beasts.
After receiving Chen Jiuge’s permission, the plain-looking Cultivator imdiately waved to a Female Cultivator not far away. Turning to Chen Jiuge, he said, "Fellow Daoist, my na is Hai Bo, and this is my Daoist couple, Jiang Huahua."
Jiang Huahua was also a very shy Cultivator. She blushed slightly as she greeted Chen Jiuge, then quietly took her seat.
"My na is Chen Jiuge. A pleasure to et you."
"Mr. Chen, you’re here to watch the rfolk performance, right?" Hai Bo said, handing so Spirit Stones to Chen Jiuge.
Although Chen Jiuge had a positive impression of these two Cultivators, he still accepted the Spirit Stones offered. "Yes, Mr. Hai. Is there sothing you wish to tell ?"
Hai Bo hesitated for a mont, then said, "I’d rather not say. Fellow Daoist, since this must be your first ti seeing the rfolk, if I tell you, it might spoil your anticipation."
Hearing this, Chen Jiuge didn’t press further. Just then, the rfolk performance was about to begin.
「...」
The Dancers performing in the air descended one by one. A Female Cultivator, clad only in three strategically placed shells, slowly stepped forward—it was Lingbo Pavilion’s Pavilion Master, Tian Yiyi. She announced, "You are all here for the rfolk performance, so this little lady won’t delay any further. Let the show begin!"
Under Chen Jiuge’s expectant gaze, the rfolk took the stage.
Is this a rfolk? Chen Jiuge stared at the bizarre rfolk on stage. My dream of a beautiful rmaid is shattered!
My eyes must be deceiving ! To think I anticipated such an ugly creature all night—it’s rather sickening.
Noticing Chen Jiuge’s displeased expression, Hai Bo explained, "This is a male rfolk. He is not the one who will perform; the perforr is a female rfolk. Mr. Chen, look quickly!"
A stunning figure appeared on the stage. Many Cultivators like Chen Jiuge, who were witnessing a rfolk performance for the first ti, were awestruck. They marveled at the wonders of creation.
Is this really the sa species? At that mont, Chen Jiuge found the rfolk stunning. She’s exactly like the rmaid of my dreams!
Actually, if the female rfolk had appeared from the start, I might not have felt this strongly. Perhaps this is the so-called beauty of contrast.
"Actually, this is intentional on Lingbo Pavilion’s part," Jiang Huahua quietly explained. "They intentionally show an unattractive male rfolk first to frustrate the Cultivators. Then, they bring out the female rfolk to create a stark contrast, which allows them to fetch a better price."
"Selling rfolk?" Chen Jiuge asked in surprise.
"You didn’t know, Mr. Chen?" Hai Bo said, sowhat surprised. "After the female rfolk’s performance, both rfolk will be auctioned off. The highest bidder will beco their owner."
The Cultivators here were primarily interested in purchasing the female rfolk. Otherwise, who would co to watch rfolk dance daily? No matter how beautiful a dance, one would eventually tire of it. Lingbo Pavilion thrived precisely by auctioning rfolk.
The female rfolk’s dance was indeed captivating. Her fishtail, so different from human legs, particularly stirred certain desires among many of the Cultivators.
"Alright, the performance is over," Tian Yiyi said, swaying gracefully as she moved forward. "Before the official auction begins, let first introduce the lineage of these two rfolk."
As the Pavilion Master of Lingbo Pavilion, Tian Yiyi held a significant status, though her reputation wasn’t particularly good. Despite her scanty clothing, nobody dared to jeer. Those who had dared in the past had mostly been sunk to the bottom of the sea.
"Everyone surely rembers the great battle against the rfolk Tribe that occurred not long ago, correct? These two happen to be the Princess and Prince of a rfolk Tribe that was annihilated. The rfolk Bloodline they possess is far superior to that of ordinary rfolk, so the auction price this ti will also be very high."
"The starting bid is 300,000 Top Grade Spirit Stones," Tian Yiyi announced with a smile.
"What? 300,000?"
"That’s robbery! What’s the use of a strong Bloodline? They’re rely little rfolk at the Divinity Transformation Stage."
"Pavilion Master Tian must be joking. No one will accept such a price."
Seeing the crowd below in an uproar, Tian Yiyi maintained her smile. She then made a small incision on the female rfolk’s arm.
As blue blood dripped down and transford into blue crystals upon hitting the floor, the Cultivators in the audience were stunned. A well-traveled Loose Cultivator among them, his voice trembling, said, "Could this be the legendary rfolk blessed by the Sea God?"
