Chapter 49: Miss Qiu makes her grand entrance as the finale.
"Miss Qiu is making her grand entrance as the last one! Look!"
As night fell, the dance competition reached its final climax.
The stage lights were dazzling, and the audience was immersed in a long-awaited fascination.
"Miss Qiu, we love you, and we will always support you!"
The three young men in the crowd who had proposed to Qiu Ziyue in the street cheered without any restraint!
Many people in the crowd shouted, "Miss Qiu is here! Look, she's so beautiful!"
Many renowned artists at the scene took out their pens and spread out their paper to draw on the spot, preparing to record this wonderful moment.
In the stands, Qi Yuxuan originally wanted to stay with Qi Yushuang, but as a member of the judging panel, he had to return to the stands to watch and judge.
The other three handsome men were also waiting with great interest.
Meanwhile, on the opposite side of Lu Minglou, Lu Yuanchangming quietly stood up and stood by the window, watching Qiu Ziyue make her entrance as if admiring a crescent moon.
His handsome face was gentle, and his figure was as noble and elegant as a bas-relief prince.
His gaze was fixed on Qiu Ziyue on the stage, filled with admiration. He knew that tonight's performance was extraordinary, and his heart was filled with tension and anticipation.
As a melodious tune began to play, Qiu Ziyue slowly walked onto the stage.
Qiu Ziyue wore a light and flowing feather dress, colorful as a rainbow, with exquisite patterns of clouds, flowers, birds and animals embroidered on the skirt, making her look like a fairy descending to earth.
Her makeup was particularly elaborate today, with delicate eye makeup, long and curved eyebrows, and light blush on her lips, making her facial features softer, highlighting Qiu Ziyue's beauty, and adding to her mystery.
Her hair was pulled up high, adorned with beads and hairpins, making the overall look more glamorous. A few strands of hair fell gently down, adding a touch of softness.
Her eyes were clear and bright, as if they could see into people's hearts, but a trace of sadness flashed through them, perhaps because of the mission she had to fulfill Ling'er's last wish.
As her light dress fluttered in the wind, Qiu Ziyue was like a blooming flower, refreshing the audience and instantly melting into the world of spring.
As the sounds of traditional instruments such as the guzheng, pipa, and flute fill the air, the melodies are melodious and moving, creating an ethereal atmosphere.
Qiu Ziyue's arms swayed gently, as soft as flowing water; her steps were light yet powerful, each step perfectly in time with the music.
Her flowing robes fluttered in the wind, making her appear as if a fairy had descended to earth.
As the music changed, several dancers sent by the Valley of Passionate Love slowly emerged from behind the curtain. Dressed in equally gorgeous costumes, they danced gracefully with Qiu Ziyue.
Jumping to the rhythm of the music, Qiu Ziyue's dance moves became more complex and graceful. She twirled and leaped on the stage, every movement brimming with power and beauty.
"Wow, Miss Qiu is actually performing the Rainbow Feather Dance! It's so beautiful!" A round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the crowd.
On the stands, Li Keyong's eyes lit up. He became very interested in Qiu Ziyue's dance and asked the strategist next to him what kind of dance it was.
The strategist whispered, "My lord, this is called the 'Rainbow Feather Dress Dance,' also known as the 'Rainbow Feather Dress Melody.' It is a gem among the ancient court dances of our dynasty. This dance was originally created by Emperor Xuanzong, inspired by the fairy he saw in his dream."
Historical records indicate that the authentic Ni Chang dance is renowned for its gorgeous costumes, graceful movements, and captivating music, and is hailed as the "Dance of Heavenly Music."
This dance represents the prosperity and splendor of ancient court culture, showcasing people's yearning and pursuit of a better life.
Li Keyong fell into deep thought. How he longed to return to the prosperous Tang Dynasty so that he could fulfill his father's dying wish.
Yang Xingmi and Zhu Yanshou were also completely mesmerized. Zhu Yanshou muttered to himself, "This little girl, could she be a fairy sent down from heaven?"
The four handsome men, each with a large following of beautiful women, were all watching with great interest.
Yin Lihen is a well-known carefree young master in the martial arts world. His smile always carries three parts playfulness and seven parts nonchalance.
He waved his fan lightly, seemingly nonchalant, yet every movement of the dance was observed by his eyes.
A tender corner deep within his heart was touched, as if he were hoping for some miracle to happen.
For Yin Lihen, this was not just a competition, but a feast for the eyes and the soul, worthy of his critique. He unconsciously remarked, "This little girl is indeed remarkable."
Chu Yuqiu was mesmerized, exclaiming, "The Valley of Passion is truly worthy of being one of the top musicians and dancers of our Great Tang Dynasty. The aura and grandeur they exuded were indeed extraordinary."
Hearing everyone's comments, Qi Yuxuan blushed slightly, then curled his lips slightly and said softly, "This female demon is not only a female bandit, but also a vixen. She has a way of seducing people, hmph."
People at the scene commented, some saying, "No wonder it's so beautiful. We've never seen it in person before. This Rainbow Feather Dance is an important performance at court banquets and a highlight of royal celebrations."
"With the passing of the Imperial Concubine, we all thought this dance had been lost. We never expected that Miss Qiu could dance it. This is wonderful!" someone exclaimed excitedly.
The audience was completely captivated, applauding enthusiastically and repeatedly saying "Bravo!"
The moonlight, combined with the rows of lanterns, illuminated the stands, revealing Qiu Ziyue's face with a natural smile, gentle and beautiful.
Every expression of hers was full of emotion, whether it was joy or sorrow, and it made people feel the same way.
Her dance seemed to tell a moving story, captivating the audience and leaving them mesmerized.
The stage lights gradually changed, from soft moonlight to colorful light, reflecting on Qiu Ziyue's rainbow-colored dress and making her look even more dazzling.
Her figure appeared exceptionally beautiful amidst the interplay of light and shadow, like a flowing painting.
As the dance reached its climax, Qiu Ziyue's expression became even more affectionate.
Her eyes were glistening with tears, as if she were telling a deeply unforgettable story.
The audience was deeply moved, and many had tears in their eyes.
In the stands, Li Keyong, though a veteran of countless battles, also had a deep interest in art, especially dance, which he believed could reveal another kind of beauty in people.
When Qiu Ziyue was dancing on stage, Li Keyong also applauded in appreciation. He turned to Li Cunxiao, one of the Thirteen Protectors beside him, and said, "This woman's dancing skills are truly remarkable. Not only are her techniques superb, but her emotions are also rich."
Li Cunxiao nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, Godfather, her dance is truly amazing."
After hearing that Li Cunxiao also praised Qiu Ziyue, Li Keyong pondered for a moment and said, "Pass on my order: after the dance competition, I will visit the dancer's home. I want to meet her in person."
Li Cunxiao accepted the order and left, while Li Keyong continued to watch the rest of the match.
His eyes held both appreciation for art and the rigor of a general.
Although he is no longer young, his charm remains undiminished, making him a force to be reckoned with.
As the music gradually slowed down, Qiu Ziyue's movements also became gentler.
The audience held their breath, completely captivated by her dance.
As the dance reached its climax, strange movements suddenly occurred around the stage.
Five dark figures leaped out from different directions and quickly surrounded the stage.
These shadowy figures were the masters of the Five Great Gates and Five Great Gangs. They came to besiege Qiu Ziyue and stop her performance.
Although Qiu Ziyue felt a pang of anxiety, she did not stop dancing; instead, she danced with even greater focus.
She knew that only by remaining calm could she deal with the impending crisis.
Suddenly, a row of sharp spikes rose up from the center of the stage and attacked Qiu Ziyue.
At the same time, the ground cracked open, spewing out bursts of smoke and flames.
Several sharp arrows shot out from the surrounding walls, flying densely towards her.
Qiu Ziyue reacted quickly, and her dance steps became even more agile.
Using her light-footed skills, she nimbly leaped between the spikes, dodging all the attacks.
Then, she waved her long sleeve, creating a gust of air that dispersed the smoke, revealing the hidden mechanism within.
Upon seeing this, the skilled attackers immediately rushed onto the stage, attempting to take advantage of the situation to subdue Qiu Ziyue.
However, Qiu Ziyue's dance skills are extraordinary; every movement she makes is full of power and beauty.
She cleverly used her long sleeves to entangle the weapons of several experts, preventing them from getting close.
Qiu Ziyue's dance moves were as smooth as flowing water. She spun and leaped on the stage, and every dodge was incredibly precise.
The audience was stunned and erupted in applause.
Despite being in a dangerous situation, Qiu Ziyue's dance moves remained beautiful and captivating.
The skilled attackers were not to be outdone, and they unleashed their ultimate moves, with fireballs, ice blades, and hidden weapons all attacking Qiu Ziyue.
The audience was initially a little panicked, but then they realized that it was a trick or mechanism.
The first five rows quietly raised their shields to shield themselves, while those behind them lowered their heads and bent over, using the people in front to block their view as they continued to watch.
For the audience, this was indeed a thrilling, exciting, and exciting scene.
It features martial arts, dance, music, and hidden weapons—truly unprecedented and not to be missed.
