Chapter 41: The Shadowy Enchantress Arrives
It's my time now, and it has just begun. Han Yue, watch me, I will do better than you.
Shadow Charm
"Cheers to our rebirth once again!"
Lai Huo Ling and Su Yi Xiang were shouting loudly to celebrate the end of the exam week. For them, every exam was a torture, but now that it's over, they not only passed each subject but also did pretty well. The two were so excited that they insisted on gathering for dinner to celebrate. As for others, well, they just came along.
Of course, Lai Huo Ling has always been a bit strange. When others did well on the exam, she wasn't surprised, but with Han Yue, Lai Huo Ling wasn't jealous, rather she really wanted to resent heaven for being too biased.
In Lai Huo Ling's impression, Han Yue had never attended a class properly and never completed an assignment properly, but somehow he was the one who scored the best among them. The school offered a wide range of courses and allowed students to choose their own courses freely. Han Yue chose most of his courses in finance and management, which were similar to those chosen by Sui Tian Ye, who would inherit the Su Ren Hospital in the future. However, he surprisingly scored better than Sui Tian Ye. It's so unfair, it's so unfair.
"Xiao Yue, after graduation, are you going to enter the business world?" Lai Huo Ling held up her cup to toast Han Yue, and indeed, she had always admired Han Yue.
"I don't know." Han Yue didn't know how to respond. So far, she was still in the process of learning and interning at the Jian Group, without a formal position or identity, only occasionally helping Xing with some small matters. As for what would happen in the future, she had no idea, probably just following her promise to stay by Xing's side and help out.
Lai Huo Ling wanted to ask more, but Han Yue's phone rang. "I'll take this call." Han Yue avoided the topic and walked out of the private room, "Yu Fan sister!? Now?...... Okay!"
Han Yue thought for a moment and had no choice but to go find Mengmeng to ask for leave, wanting to use this as an excuse to get out of performing the dance that Ying Wei had agreed to.
"Shadow, today is your first time on stage, you succeeded, the trial period ends early, you can have the same status as Dance and work freely in the bar, but if you fail, you can leave."
"Mengmeng sister, I'm going to the airport to pick someone up."
"I'll get someone else to go for you."
"But——" Han Yue's expression turned cold, but I wanted to refuse.
(Cold Moon, I've already promised you won't refuse.)
I don't like it.
I like it, I promised myself that I would come alone.
Why should I answer?
Because I will prove my existence, prove that I can do better than you.
Han Yue rubbed her temples: "Okay, but..."
"Once promised, there's no turning back." Mengmeng's attitude was very resolute. "If we succeed, you should be happy. You know that the Dance Enchantress has never revealed her true face to anyone, only a select few know." As she spoke, Mengmeng took the golden mask from Awen and put it on. "I'll dance first, then introduce you onto the stage afterwards."
Mengmeng is right, and what the Shadow Demon did was not wrong either. If she really became the Shadow Demon, then she could appear in front of everyone with a mask on without any issues. Han Yue thought for a moment before finally agreeing.
"If Shadow Sister succeeds, everyone will call you Shadow Sister." Ah Wen smiled brightly. No wonder Miao Miao sister always 'forced' Shadow to practice dancing with her every day, it turns out she had intended for Shadow to become another pillar of Lin Cang Bar all along. Speaking of which, Shadow Sister indeed has potential in this aspect, once Shadow puts on makeup, she immediately looks very similar to Miao Miao sister.
"You're so young and yet you think you know everything. Didn't you used to call me sister?" Han Yue smiled faintly, slapping him on the forehead with her palm.
"That's different." Ah Wen touched his head, pretending to be wronged, and after a few seconds, he regained his composure. "Sister Ying Wei should go prepare for the stage, Jiu Ge will pick up your friend at the airport instead of you."
Han Yue turned and left. Ah Wen's transformation she had also gotten used to. The employees here, although they were all peers, seemed to have long been accustomed to the survival rules of this society. On the surface, they were all idle and wandering young men and women, but in reality, each one was a mature and seasoned old fox, and Ah Wen was one of them.
The bar has several important leaders, Miao Miao, A Wen, Jiu Ge, and there should be a hidden big brother. Han Yue smiled slightly, the people here are all very good to Ying Wei, although Han Yue thinks that Miao Miao is sometimes intentionally making things difficult.
"Going to the airport to pick someone up? I'll take you there." Jingrui stood up.
Han Yue faintly refused: "No need, I'll go myself, it's faster."
Jing Wei didn't force the issue either. As long as Han Yue showed this expression in front of him, Jing Wei knew that Han Yue really didn't want him to follow, just like that time when Han Yue went to send off his family member and also refused.
"Little Moon, how long will you be gone?" Ye Xue asked her.
Han Yue looked at the time, thought for a moment, and an hour should be enough: "An hour later I'll introduce my friends to you, have fun."
At the hospital entrance, Shen Liu Lan was seeing Qin Yu Fan off.
"Arden, don't see me off." Qin Yufan pulled her suitcase, "It was great being your assistant for this period of time."
"Yufeng sister... take care, remember to come back and see me." Shen Liulian was a bit reluctant to part with her, although Qin Yufeng was just her temporary assistant, they had gotten along very well during this period of time.
"Alright, I'll definitely come visit you if I have the chance." Qin Yufan got into a taxi, "Driver, go to the airport."
In the private room of the bar, Su Yixiang felt bored playing in the room and wanted to go to the hall to play. Su Yixiang suggested: "I heard that Lin Cang Bar's dance is amazing and very popular, let's take a look."
Ye Xue didn't like that kind of scene, shaking her head: "You guys go, I'm not going."
"Xue Er isn't going, I'm not going either. We'll chat and wait for Xiao Yue." Lai Huo Ling sat down beside Ye Xue, "You guys go ahead, we're only watching the handsome guy dance anyway."
"Come on, come on!" Su Yi Xiang dragged Xu Qing and Su Yi Tian into the crowd squeezing into the great hall.
Wǔ mèi! Wǔ mèi! Wǔ mèi!
Translation:
Dance enchantment! Dance enchantment! Dance enchantment!
With everyone's cheers, a burst of smoke erupted from the center of the stage, and a woman in red appeared on the stage, with long hair down to her waist, and a fiery red streak in her black silky hair, causing the whole audience to boil over as soon as she came out.
The strong rhythm of the DJ's dance music, the people on stage were wild and unrestrained, leading to the cheers of everyone below. Su Yixiang and his three friends were squeezed in the crowd and almost got scattered.
Su Yi shouted: "Xuan Qing, isn't she very punctual."
Xuan Qing simply nodded without speaking, even if he had spoken, in this noisy environment, probably no one would have heard him anyway.
"With a mask, who knows." Su Yitian muttered to himself. He didn't like this too noisy environment and wanted to leave the crowd to wander around. As he walked, he was bumped into by someone, and a boy pulled a 'girl' quickly running past his eyes.
Su Yitian glanced around in confusion. Han Yue? No, it was Mengmeng, or was it Ying Wei? Su Yitian didn't think twice and chased after them. That Ying Wei looked somewhat familiar, no matter who it was, he had to get a clear look today. But before he could catch up, he saw them enter through the door behind the bar, which was immediately closed shut.
"Yingmei sister, put on the mask and go around to the other side of the stage from behind. Later, Mengmeng sister will meet you there." Awen hands over the mask to Yingmei.
"How can there be such a passage here." The Shadow Demon looked around at the crisscrossing passages, "Where do all these lead to?"
"This isn't a place where just anyone can come in." Ah Wen said proudly, then seriously added, "Shadow Witch sister, don't run around randomly here, if you get lost no one will take care of you." After a pause, he suddenly remembered something and reminded her, "The person we bumped into earlier seemed to be the person Shadow Witch sister was hiding from, Shadow Witch sister should be careful not to be recognized."
Just now? Shadow Charm blinked. Hmm, it seemed like Su Yitian. Shadow Charm smiled: "Don't worry, I'll be careful."
Awen came out from the 'door', Su Yitian was standing at the bar, Awen's face flashed a hint of surprise, then curved into a childlike standard smile, and said in a crisp tone: "Sir, is there something?"
"It's nothing." Sui Tian turned around and left. How hateful, he escaped again! Sui Tian returned to the original place, only Sui Xiang was still in the original place.
"Good evening everyone, today I'd like to introduce another dancer, Shadow Dancer!"
As usual, the dance troupe appeared and disappeared in the smoke, but this time they didn't leave immediately after finishing their dance. Instead, they grabbed a microphone and shouted loudly before disappearing with the smoke.
What's going on? Everyone was stunned and looked up in anticipation.
Suddenly another puff of smoke burst out, and another figure appeared in the center of the stage. The person on the stage announced their arrival in a hazy cloud of smoke: "Hello everyone, I am Shadow Charm."
The newcomer also had black hair flowing, with a strand of deep blue 'luxuriant' hair in the long hair, and the same styling clothes as the enchanting dance. The only difference was that he wore a black dress, on which the silver-blue bright light of the Manjusaka blooming wantonly, and the dark red vines extended from top to bottom.
The phantom wore a silver mask, with a seductive smile playing on the corners of his mouth. He emerged from the hazy black smoke, exuding an air of danger. The aura slowly spread, perilous and alluring, like a blooming poppy, its deadly poison notwithstanding, drawing people in, making them unwittingly fall into its depths, unable to extricate themselves.
With Shadow's smile and breath, the crowd once again 'erupted' in cheers.
