Ye Chu regretted saying those words the moment they left his mouth, especially when he saw Zhong Wei’s smile fade, making him feel it was definitely a lost cause. She had said before that she had never danced for anyone alone, so asking this was definitely asking for a slap. Ye Chu felt he was definitely going to lose face.
“Alright!”
Just as Ye Chu thought she was about to refuse, he saw Zhong Wei reveal a sweet smile, agreeing in an extremely natural and beautiful way. It was as if she were agreeing to something trivial. “I have not danced in a long time, so I will dance once today.”
As Zhong Wei spoke, her figure moved gracefully, her long skirt fluttering and her hair dancing, ethereal and absolutely beautiful.
Zhong Wei had a face like the moon, fair skin, and a delicate body as pure as ice and clean as jade. As she bowed slightly, a blush rose to her beautiful face. Her enchanting posture danced gracefully, and amidst the dancing, her steps even brought forth the melodious and ethereal sound of a zither.
Ye Chu stood there, watching Zhong Wei dance continuously. Her graceful figure completely captivated him. Ye Chu felt as if he had entered an elegant, serene, and beautifully artistic realm, mixed with moonlight echoing in a quiet courtyard. The moonlight poured over him, and his whole body felt as if he were dancing along with her. His heart was intoxicated by her graceful steps, like wind, like rain, like illusion, like mist, like a rainbow, like a neon glow, and like a dream.
In the dreamlike state of dancing gracefully with her, Ye Chu felt as if he saw high mountains and flowing water by the waterfalls, and falling geese on the flat sands of the great desert. Her sexy and enchanting body danced on the flowing water and danced upon the wild geese. This kind of dance refreshed the mind and heart, bringing forth a hundred emotions.
Zhong Wei’s black hair was like clouds, fluttering in the wind. The narrow, slender long skirt set off her exquisite and beautiful youthful body, full of the most moving charm of a young girl. This was an absolute beauty. As she danced, it was as if there was only one person in heaven and earth. At this moment, even Lin Shixin could not compare to her absolute beauty.
Her fingers were crystal clear and translucent, tracing through the void and bringing up droplets of water, transforming into a unique posture of ice pure and jade clean elegance. Just one look would give a person a feeling of melting the soul and corroding the bones. All the ink and brush in the world would be hard pressed to describe her fairy like beauty as it was fully revealed in her dance, penetrating deep into Ye Chu’s primordial spirit. This dance could truly be called something only found in heaven.
…
Dancing like this, Ye Chu watched her sexy and alluring dance, which constantly changed in its artistic conception. Ye Chu’s mind shifted with it. Various kinds of beauty permeated her very bones, manifesting in her dance. Her slender waist possessed incomparable flexibility, and any movement could be displayed in that slender waist, so alluring and beautiful.
When the dance was finished, Zhong Wei floated down gracefully, landing beside Ye Chu. A subtle fragrance wafted over, making one’s soul spin.
At this moment, Ye Chu’s primordial spirit was strengthening. The green lotus was frantically absorbing the spring source transformed from the black iron. His entire primordial spirit grew several times stronger, and the green lotus also expanded. In Ye Chu’s qi sea, power continuously poured in. The bottleneck of the second level Emperor was shattered at this moment, stepping into the third level.
“One dance to step into the third level!” Ye Chu looked at Zhong Wei in front of him. Her red lips were alluring, her delicate body enchanting, possessing the most beautiful charm in the world.
Ye Chu finally understood why this woman was called the Dance Goddess. It was because her dance could bring you into any artistic realm, allowing your primordial spirit to merge with heaven and earth, blending with the universe, and wandering among the mountains, rivers, and great streams of the world. Without leaving the house, just one dance could let you travel tens of thousands of miles. What kind of ability was this?
He was an Emperor, and it was extremely difficult to break through a level. Even if he was at the edge, it was hard to break through without an opportunity. Yet the other party, relying on just one dance, easily pushed him up a level.
“If this woman could dance for me every day, I think my strength would skyrocket. It would not take long to break through the Emperor realm.” Ye Chu looked at Zhong Wei.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Zhong Wei’s face flushed slightly under Ye Chu’s gaze. She waved her hand in front of Ye Chu, signalling him to withdraw his gaze.
“I now understand why they wanted to capture you and make you the wife of the bandit chief, because I have the same thought,” Ye Chu said, looking at Zhong Wei.
“You want me to be the wife of the bandit chief? You are dreaming. Moreover, even if I were the wife of the bandit chief, I would not dance for others to see,” Zhong Wei said, rolling her eyes at Ye Chu.
As she said this, Zhong Wei’s face blushed slightly. She did not even know why she had just agreed to dance for Ye Chu.
…
Ever since that dance, Ye Chu used various methods to make Zhong Wei continue dancing. But Zhong Wei refused with various excuses, hurting Ye Chu’s heart time and time again.
However, Ye Chu remained persistent. This woman’s dance was too extraordinary. Watching her dance once was even more effective than a year of his own cultivation. He was not willing to miss such a good opportunity.
“If you dance for me once, I am willing to offer myself to you in marriage!”
“You are dreaming. Who would want you if you offered yourself in marriage? Hehe…”
“Hey! I have saved you so many times. Should you not repay me?”
“Once we are safe, I will definitely dance a piece for you.”
“When would that be? If you dance a piece now, think about it. If I am stronger, would we not all be safer?”
“Do not think I do not know what you are thinking. Hmph, last time I danced, your eyes were staring at my chest and waist!”
“Damn, you even noticed that. But that was an accident. There will definitely not be a next time.”
“Do you think I would believe that?”
“You will!”
“If I believe it, I am an idiot!”
“…”
Ye Chu used every trick in the book to pester her, but Zhong Wei simply would not dance again. In the end, even Ye Chu’s resilient heart, which kept fighting despite repeated failures, began to waver and give up.
Zhong Wei looked at Ye Chu, who was hanging his head behind her. Unable to help but steal a smile, her pretty face was also flushed crimson. “Hmph! I have never danced alone for a man before. I danced for you once and you are still not satisfied.”
Thinking of this, Zhong Wei could not help but remember what Cuizhu had once said: “Miss, you never dance alone for anyone. Is it reserved for your future ideal husband?”
Although Zhong Wei did not have such thoughts at the time, she could not help but think of those words now, which made her blush even more.
“I should not have agreed to him! If Cuizhu finds out, who knows what she will think.”
Ye Chu naturally did not know what Zhong Wei was thinking. He led Zhong Wei on their journey, and the road was relatively peaceful. But Ye Chu knew that the peace was only temporary. Very soon, a storm more violent than ever before would sweep over them.
“I wonder if we can hold out until we reach the Artifact Sect.” Ye Chu exhaled lightly. Thinking of the artifact refining methods, he felt a headache coming on. If he had this thing, would he still be afraid of these bandits on the wasteland?
“As long as I deliver Zhong Wei to the Artifact Sect, with this favour, the Artifact Sect will definitely give me a good set of artifact refining methods.”
Seeing Ye Chu suddenly fall silent with a worried look on his face, Zhong Wei could not help but ask, “What is wrong?”
“I am thinking that it will not be long before we reach the Artifact Sect. They will definitely ambush us at this final moment. I have no confidence in being able to keep you and me safe.” Ye Chu shook his head and sighed. “Perhaps the two of us are about to step into the underworld. At a time like this, will you still not dance once? Otherwise, you will not have the chance anymore.”
