"Sure, sure!"
"That scared me half to death! I was sweating bullets just watching!"
"..."
"She really swallowed it."
"So thrilling! It can even be done like this!"
"..."
Ding, ding, ding, ding...
The crisp ringing continued without end.
The residents of the Xianzhou weren't looking to get something for nothing, either.
Those with money contributed money, while those without it came to show their support.
But more or less... tossing in one or two Strales was no problem at all.
And so, the Strales continued to clatter against the inside of the copper gong, ringing like rainfall. Before long, quite a number had accumulated.
Guinaifen didn't let the praise go to her head.
Instead, she slowly withdrew the treasured sword.
At the end, she performed a dashing flourish with the sword before bowing to the audience once more.
Her manners were impeccable, and the sight was a pleasure to behold.
"Thank you for your generous tips, esteemed patrons."
"But please don't get too excited just yet. There's something even more spectacular coming up!"
"..."
"Miss Guinevere, your swordsmanship is incredible!" someone said, giving her a thumbs-up.
"Such swordplay has truly broadened our horizons!"
Whether they were joking or genuinely thought so, Guinevere felt a slight cold sweat break out.
She couldn't use a sword at all, much less was she skilled with one.
But perhaps this was simply how people on the Xianzhou described it? Perhaps they were saying she was especially talented at swallowing swords?
She felt as though she had learned something new again.
As expected, her brothers had been right. Xianzhou culture was profound and extensive!
