The Celestial Phoenix Has Too Much Lust-Chapter 54: Give a Grand Performance to Win

The audience fell silent as they witnessed this surreal scene unfolding before their very noses. It felt as though reality itself were not real... unbelievable.

Small children, none older than ten years, had a leader who spoke as if they possessed a truly influential opinion. And why wouldn’t they believe it, while so many surreal things were happening?

In the midst of this...

A mad grin exploded on the face of the clown, who couldn’t help but clap his hands. These children were brave beyond belief.

As for Ni Ni Layan, she hadn’t expected this radical change. She was extremely tense, though happy at the same time. But in the end, they were just children.

Would their vote be considered acceptable?

"Children! Children! Come here!"

A woman ran through the crowd, trying to catch the children to take them away before they got hurt. Unfortunately, she arrived late.

Hundreds of children were already in the line of fire. The crowd would certainly not forgive the little ones; they didn’t understand anything.

Indeed, the crowd was furious.

"Little one, go to your school! What brought you to a place for adults?"

"Chuun, you rascal! What brought you here? Return home instantly, or I will beat you!"

"What a bunch of ill-mannered children!"

The nanny stepped forward among the people and bowed before everyone beside the children.

"I am so sorry, I am so sorry. I am the one who made a mistake. Please, they are just little ones, can you have mercy on them?"

But she, too, was not spared from the fury of the crowd. There was a commoner who approached her with the aim of striking her face and slapping her.

"You fallen woman! This is your punishment!"

But before the slap could reach her face, which was weeping and submissive to the blow... in an instant... there was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He caught the man’s hand before it reached her face and prevented him from moving entirely, as if the arm that was about to slap the woman were stopped by something it could never move again.

The commoner felt fear when he looked above him at the dozens of cultivators who were standing over the children.

"You loathsome insects! Whoever dares to touch the children or even thinks of harming them... will not see the next morning."

The children were protected by the cultivators, who would not allow them to be harmed after they had shown such courage in expressing their opinion.

The clown approached that chaos while delivering a speech.

"Yo, yo! Guys, don’t be like that. Alright, now the result will be displayed."

The clown smiled as he approached the child leader who had made his comment quietly.

"Can you, little one, come up with me to present the result?"

The child nodded his head. The clown extended his hand, and the little one climbed onto the clown’s hand. Now the clown was carrying him in his arms and returning to the center as he was.

He whispered to him and murmured the result into his ear quietly.

"Come on, little one. Tell these annoying adults the result."

The little one gathered his breath then spoke in a loud voice.

"The result is... a tie!"

Tian Er Mingxi scowled as she saw all this happening before her without her fault, as if fate and heaven themselves were intervening to prevent her from winning. She was screaming in her mind: how did all this happen?

Tian Er Mingxi did not accept this result. She activated her ability and made the commoners she had controlled extremely angry.

This was indeed effective, because after that, nothing was normal.

The crowd erupted. Voices rose and the entire market shook with the sounds of the objecting throngs.

"This is madness! You are completely insane! They are clearly children! The first lady was clearly the winner! Just say you are acting based on your preference! Where is the credibility? I am not satisfied!"

This was the least of the comments, as most were different and new types of filthy insults.

Amidst all this noise, the cultivators floating in the sky felt annoyed as they heard the worthless shouts of the commoners.

They all decided at the same moment to release their aura to control the crowded masses with their opposing opinion, which was under the effect of Tian Er Mingxi’s hypnosis.

"Silence, all of you! It is clear that the entire audience here can vote. You can go and complain to your mothers instead of screaming."

While everyone fell silent, one of those present shouted.

"You are suppressing public opinion! This is a crime! Just because the matter is to your liking and serves your opinion, you conspire too!"

Suddenly, the cultivator who was speaking a moment ago appeared before the man who spoke and grabbed him faster than the eye could see, lifting him high.

"It seems someone wants to die. No problem, I can fulfill your wishes with pleasure."

The man was making sounds from his throat and also making sounds of pain while he lost the ability to breathe. The cultivator’s eyes were almost merciless toward the man writhing before him as if he saw a chicken instead of a human.

The clown and Chen Ming felt that the situation had spiraled out of control.

The clown was too weak to stand before the cultivators. Chen Ming saw that, and finally moved.

"Guys! We will cancel the challenges here if you stir up chaos again. Let us maintain each other’s safety."

Everyone listened to Chen Ming’s words and everyone began to calm down. The cultivator lowered the man from his hand, who fell to the ground gasping and coughing.

He escaped death.

As for the clown...

"Well, our dear audience! we have cut through a lot of fun and excitement so far. There were unexpected results and the unexpected appearance of other friends. The next challenge will be the last... the decider between the winner and the loser."

Everyone was displeased that the show that had begun would end like this. The excitement here was better than the very dull, routine days.

As for the cultivators, seeing two powers much higher than them fighting over a man was extremely legendary. They could pay every day just to watch this.

"The next challenge is the challenge in which the two contestants will show all their abilities to dazzle everyone. A show using supreme spiritual power. Each one of them will perform her own dance in the way she chooses. And the vote will remain with the audience. The rules are simple: the show ends in one minute. After the minute, no other moves can be made. Only spiritual energy is allowed to be used as visual effects."

Everyone listened to the clown’s rules for the coming show. Everyone anticipated the next scene with bated breath while they stood watching in silence now.

"First lady... are you ready?"

Tian Er Mingxi used to work on the side as a stripper in various nightclubs besides being an official prostitute. She had performed many shows and was a professional in performing extremely sexy dances.

And besides her art of seduction, she could simply win at last and achieve victory.

No matter how strong, skilled, and smart Ni Ni Layan was, she would not be able to match her in something she had already perfected.

Using her spiritual power, Tian Er Mingxi pulled from one of the shops a type of silk fabric decorated with a kind of shiny fringe.

She stood in the middle with everyone moving away from her, even Ni Ni Layan and Chen Ming were far away and watched the performance of the dance.

Move.

In a single moment, everyone felt as if their hearts had throbbed for a second. The light pink aura rose around her in the air, and she swayed playfully with the piece of cloth in her two hands as she spun.

Free movement.

She owned the air around her.

Hearts trembled with playfulness and lightness with every tilt, lowering, and waving.

The pink mist and the scent she emitted made the hearts in the spectators’ eyes enlarge as they looked at the scene before them.

Tian Er Mingxi gave a hidden laugh as she spun comfortably in the air, which was clad in the color of her kind pink aura.

The spectators smiled in admiration as they looked at the skillful dance before them.

"This is amazing. The name of this dance is ’The Fierce Female Praying Mantis’. It captures hearts from the first glance. I can’t believe someone perfected it to this level of perfection."

Tian Er Mingxi was moving comfortably, and her gentle beam covered and melted hearts... as if she were indeed born to be a female mantis.

The dance had indeed ended. A minute had passed, and everyone was dazzled.

Everyone began clapping and whistling for this beautiful and wonderful show.

Most people here came to the market and felt bored, and for the first time, everyone felt that every step that led them here had value.

Even if their days were bad.

Tian Er Mingxi looked at Ni Ni Layan standing while the sounds of applause were around them, and moved her lips without a sound.

Ni Ni Layan was able to know what she said.

"You’d better withdraw with dignity."

This ignited Ni Ni Layan’s anger. She was not a professional in dancing, and she didn’t even know the basics. She didn’t care about this art in the first place.

But she was forced to step forward and perform a show that matched this.

Ni Ni Layan thought. She realized that she had a secret weapon.

Her consciousness entered inside the ring and brought out a recording tape unfamiliar to this world.

She looked at it as she stepped to the middle. It was clear she was bad at dancing, but she was skillful in the art of illusion. Also, she remembered her past from her previous life.

When kings used to invite her to their private parties, the dances there were at the highest level in the Upper World. She was hoping she could mimic their movements.

But all her hopes were pinned on the tape in her hand.

She sighed as she stepped forward.

The clown looked and raised his voice.

"Now with the last show of the second lady!"

Yes.

In the next second, the matter was very strange for the spectators because they saw the Nascent Soul cultivator lady throw a voice recording tape from her hand. They had not seen this item before.

Collision.

The tape hit the ground.

Beethoven - Symphony No. 5, Op. 67, Allegro con brio.

"Dun-Dun-Dun-Duuuun!"

"Dun-Dun-Dun-Duuuun!"

Everyone listened to the beats of strings that sent shivers through their hearts.

Before their eyes was an illusory model of a huge edifice they had never seen in their lives before.

In their sight and hearing, they saw a vision of an extremely beautiful world... in which angels played on strings, while there was a beautiful fairy in the middle of the edifice, jumping and spinning in perfect circles with delicate movements, while the angels played on the strings and produced heavenly sounds in their ears.

The cultivators felt from this music a strange spiritual energy that made them want to close their eyes to enter a state of meditation from the enlightenment that came to them.

But they prevented themselves and completed the scene while everyone was in complete silence, even the children.

Everyone was humbled in silence.

Ni Ni Layan was in trouble; the piece was about to end, and she couldn’t stop now at the climax while she didn’t have the rest of the symphony.

She had no other solution but to complete the rest of the symphony herself.

The art of illusion was the manipulation of the five senses, meaning she could also make them listen to the sounds she wanted them to hear.

The movement in the tape had indeed ended.

And Ni Ni Layan began trying to mimic the rhythm.

She tried with all her ability to match the matter, but it was clear that her rhythm was not at the same level as the first movement.

The melody began to fall and fall.

"Did I lose?"

The illusion began to warp and the symphony began to warp, and people were about to become displeased.

Ni Ni Layan squeezed her head, but she finally realized that she was not a musical genius like the one who invented this melody. Therefore, instead of trying to mimic it...

She could create something original, even if it was clearly of lower quality.

Maximum focus.

The angels’ strings began to burn from the speed of the hands and the rhythm that moved sharply from deep atmospheres to more fierce ones.

The world of illusion began to serve the rhythm. The angels began to turn into demons, and the listeners’ hearts began to scream from this powerful melody.

The rhythm began to strengthen. The sounds became more smooth. Sweat appeared on Ni Ni Layan’s face; she tried with her maximum effort.

After a while, the melody finally calmed down. Ni Ni Layan fell and the illusion finally ended, and she was on the ground falling on her knees.

Before everyone...

Ni Ni Layan’s show ended.

Everyone began to look at each other. Whispering began to increase, and the looks of displeasure were very clear.

"What is this crap?"

"Damn, the show was good, what is this garbage? I need to clean my ears."

"This is the worst ending ever."

Ni Ni Layan raised her head and saw the angry crowds.

"I failed you, Morse."

She didn’t accept failure. She hadn’t accepted failure yet.

Her immortal heart began to tremble again after her feeling of defeat, and the golden aura began to return once more to the surface. On Ni Ni Layan’s face were signs of rage.
