Chapter 143: One by One Official Dance

[Chapters 143-159 are translated by fuyuneko (fuyuneko.org)]

T/N: I really liked this story because of the silly cat.

The stage was full of beautiful people. After that group was replaced, there was a burst of traditional Chinese music. The music became cheerful and lighthearted. Two crab demons performed a sword dance.

Miao Miao was behind the stage. Seven or eight young servants had previously grabbed her. Her hair was filled with gemstone hairpins. She was dressed in a beautiful set of blue clothes. The dress had a plunging neckline. The blue dress was covered with thin gauze decorated with crystals. She also wore an eight-treasured coral chain and embroidered shoes that had two thumb-sized night pearls. Every step, the precious stones sparkled. Every step, it attracted people's gaze.

"Ready?" Ao Yun carelessly opened the back stage's curtains. His gazed stopped at me and he looked at me dazedly for a long time. Then he turned his head towards the young servants to command, "She's not allowed to wear such low-cut dress. Change what she's wearing to a high-neckline dress!"

The confused servant girl asked, "Third prince, don't you like low-cut dresses?

Ao Yun quickly replied, "I like high-necklines dresses now!" He angrily looked at the young servants. They quickly brought me behind the curtains. They changed my clothes to a yellow embroidered high-neckline dress. After I was securely wrapped up, Ao Yun nodded his head in satisfaction and left.

I looked at how I was dressed. I felt a little distressed because the dancing girls in those books wore very little clothing. I wore so many layers of clothing... I wouldn't be able to reveal my thighs or belly. Were these clothes useful?

Maybe, it doesn't matter what clothes I wear. As I comforted myself, the master of ceremonies turned his head to tell me to prepare to go onto the stage.

I walked with dignified cat-like steps. I carried the bamboo pole that I had previously requested and met the smiling crowd as I walked to the stage. In front of everyone's cheering and praise, I firmly stuck the bamboo pole into the floor. The sound traveled through the stage to the ocean floor's foundations. As a result, the cheers turned into screams, but I had successfully attracted the entire audience's attention.

The master of ceremonies regained his calmness. He announced, "Requesting Miss Hua Miao Miao to perform 'One by one official' dance."

What?

What's 'One by one official' dance?

When did I report that I would perform that dance?

He's wrong, right?

I cautiously looked at the master of ceremonies. In his hands, he held the paper that I had written down the name of my dance.

Eh... it seems as if I had written the word 'bamboo' too far apart and the word 'pole' was written completely wrong. But, its okay! This is only a small problem. It doesn't matter what the dance is called. Only strength mattered.

(T/N: This is what Miao Miao intended to write 竹管. This is what her words looked like 个个官.)

The music began. I confidently began to perform...

First, grab onto the bamboo pole, and then lift up my leg. Because I was a bit nervous, I used too much of my strength when grabbing. Unexpectedly, the bamboo was of poor quality. After a "pop" sound, it broke.

I was stunned. The audience below the stage was also quiet.

Master of ceremonies quickly tried to save the show, "In addition to being highly skilled at dancing, Miss Hua Miao Miao is also highly skilled in martial arts. To show her martial arts skill, she wanted to assimilate her martial arts skill into her dance. That's why she split the bamboo pole in half."
