Chapter 113

Add to that the language barrier, and drawing this dance is somewhat unlucky.

Chu Yuanqing thought for a moment and asked:

"If you're jumping in the male position, do you have to wear men's clothing?"

If that's the case, then she really wants to dance Kaito's scenes, because every time she goes on stage in a skirt, she always feels strange and doesn't feel safe at all.

Ji Shuzhu remained silent, her pupils unfocused.

Within her consciousness, countless jigsaw puzzle pieces were chaotically intertwined, systematically categorized by elements such as Latin, cha-cha, bullfighting, and ballet, disassembling all the dances of <ACUTE>, and finally recording all the details of the story segments for one-to-one correspondence.

Decompose, reconstruct.

Once these two steps are completed, the entire dance will be thoroughly memorized.

Time taken: 6 seconds.

Ji Shuzhu is a puppet that's almost an empty shell; she shouldn't be able to grasp the "Flow State" state within the Idol Domain.

The excruciating pain she experienced when she actively severed ties with Chen Yining not only brought her one step closer to [Flow State], but also further enhanced her understanding and absorption of information due to Hyperthymesia, even improving the efficiency of her Puzzle Choreography Method.

Ji Shuzhu suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and whispered:

"If they changed into men's clothing, it would really turn into a stage play."

"Besides, this is an old song from many years ago, and very few people know the background story. If you just wear a skirt and dance to it, it will be the same. The audience will imagine a love triangle between a female and a male lead, which will make the show more entertaining."

"In addition, I will re-choreograph <ACUTE>, making some changes to better suit stage competition."

"If you don't mind, I will decide which positions you jump to."

Xie Qingxuan had no objection. She had snatched the choreographer from a certain Young Lady so that the other party could now play the role she was supposed to.

Even if <ACUTE> doesn't quite match the "first move wins" and "[Flow State]" effects, Ji Shuzhu still has the ability to turn the tide.

This can be seen from the effect of the other party's adaptation of <Naughty>.

Even though she used [Flow State] to enhance her own stage and apply debuffs to the opposing team, the scores between them were still quite close. Compared to the tacit understanding between the childhood friends, the choreographer's ingenious adaptation of <Naughty> was more important.

Chu Yuanqing is not a professional, and the dance styles she has learned so far are all at the basic level. She nodded in agreement with a good sense of self-awareness.

Xie Qingxuan looked at the other person like this, and her heart fluttered.

Chu Yuanqing's delicate face was serious and earnest, exuding an air of old-fashioned solemnity.

Her skin was pink and delicate, her eyelashes were long and slender, her lips were glossy, and when she spoke, you could vaguely see her tongue in her mouth, as well as her delicate swan neck and the full, soft body that had been pressed tightly against your arms not long ago.

For some reason,

Xie Qingxuan was distracted. It was as if she had fallen from the vantage point of Meditation State. Her Sea of Consciousness was filled with images of her lips being licked and bitten hard, her mouth overflowing with the fragrance of flowers and the soft taste. Her lowered eyes were misty, reflecting the scene from half an hour ago.

Chu Yuanqing, with her white hair and golden eyes, embraced her neck, coughing up blood as she kissed her. The wild, rusty scent mingled with floral fragrance, etched her soul into her very being as their lips met. She sat on his lap, her soft, alluring body pressing against his buttocks, the sensation making his heart burn and his mind drift away.

In a daze, her Heart Tide surged with emotion, and magic wove together the Goddess Skirt on her fair wrist, continuously infusing it with fragmented magic, imbuing it with the nascent form of spirituality.

It is obvious that the Magic Replenishment mechanism is not one-way; it also has hidden benefits and positive buffs for Xie Qingxuan himself, and it is still taking effect now.

Xie Qingxuan hadn't activated [Flow State] and was completely unaware of it, still savoring the feeling of being kissed.

For the first time in so many years, she experienced the feeling of being silently melted away by [Meditation State].

The aftereffects are...

This aloof and powerful Great Demon King in the eyes of outsiders is now like a dog in Pavlov's experiments. The moment he catches a glimpse of the other's alluring appearance, he can't help but drool, as if he has been tamed to some extent and is showing signs of degenerating into Chu Yuanqing's dog.

Well, it's actually quite normal. Anyone who gets a white-haired, golden-eyed succubus sitting in their lap and kissing them for six minutes would have their mind filled with thoughts of doing lewd things with her for a short time.

For a pure and innocent dog, the taste of first-time forbidden fruit will obviously take a long time to forget. Right now, she only feels that Chu Yuanqing is perfect in every way, and her mind is filled with nothing but the stage and training, and she wants to get closer to him.

So much so that the truth that the Green Eyed Cat could see through at a glance remained completely foreign to the Golden Haired Doggy. The supernatural, Magical Girl, and any leverage he could use to "blackmail" him were nowhere to be found.

Ji Shuzhu silently scrutinized the two of them, and suddenly realized that if Xiao Ning had won that stage performance, then perhaps she wouldn't be the one in the position of an outsider.

--Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".

But it doesn't matter. She just came to find the Shining Power Bank and is trying to alleviate her condition by eating. As long as she stays at a normal distance from her teammates, she can eat her fill naturally. There's no need to go to any extra trouble.

And that is why,

Ji Shuzhu will wholeheartedly help the team with choreography.

Although I don't know that Chu Yuanqing sometimes doesn't need to do anything to fill the emptiness in my chest with warmth, like a god who saves all living beings, normally speaking, so-called brilliance can only be born from the stage itself.

Or, at the very least, a performance is required.

Chu Yuanqing is special, but her specialness is somewhat unstable.

In theory, someone who shines naturally offstage should be even more dazzling onstage, but this person's performance is somewhat Schrödinger's cat-like, with their level fluctuating wildly, like opening a blind box.

Therefore, in order to have a good meal and accumulate enough dazzling energy to keep her emotions normal for a while, she had to find a way to make the choreography more outstanding, thereby developing Chu Yuanqing's potential and making him burst forth with unparalleled brilliance.

And so, the three of them began their training in this strange atmosphere.

Although the endorsement shoot was tiring, there were only three weeks left in January. To master a complex dance with alternating steps, resembling a musical, it required at least 10 hours of training per week on average, and even that wasn't enough due to factors like teamwork and other elements.

So the training session didn't end until nightfall.

8:30 PM, bathroom.

Water droplets from the showerhead dripped onto the tiles, making a soft, rhythmic sound.

Chu Yuanqing sat listlessly in the bathtub, her eyelashes fluttering, her clear, golden eyes glancing at the water that stretched across the soft mountain ridge.

The dim, yellow light shattered within, its reflection transforming in color and luster only when it reached the delicate skin. Following a beautiful arc, it swept past the lantern, which resembled shattered glass, and slowly climbed to the collarbone, weaving together with the hazy mist to create a remarkable scene.

Although this scene would have made her blood boil in the past, sadly, apart from a few adjectives that would make her feel ashamed, it has gradually become less and less turbulent in her mind.

The little yellow duck in the bathtub is spinning around and around.

This is a gift that a certain Green Eyed Cat gave itself with a pitiful, teary-eyed expression before it left.

Chu Yuanqing sighed softly. Thinking about it carefully, she realized that it had been quite a while since she had seen Liuli.

Because she spent almost all of the days she spent with Yayoi asking about Xiao Shu, she had no idea about the current situation of the Green Eyed Cat.

For some reason, thinking about this made her feel a pang of conscience, as if she were a heartless woman who tamed a cat and then sent it to someone else to be raised, without even offering a video call.

How about I try hanging around the cafeteria tomorrow and see if I can run into Little Cotton-padded Jacket and Liuli?

But the idea was quickly forgotten as the heavy training goals weighed it down. At most, she could wait in the cafeteria for 40 minutes at noon; any longer would affect her teammates' training.

After all, for a three-person dance like this that's more like a stage play, practicing alone is really inefficient.

Sigh, I miss Xiao Shu so much!

Chu Yuanqing felt a little annoyed. She began to miss the days when she could lift her Little Cotton-padded Jacket high in the air, basking in the innocent and admiring gaze of the little snowball, and holding her in her arms while telling her stories.

The girl buried her head in her chest, and bubbles immediately rose to the surface. After calming down, she lifted her lovely, rosy face, touched the Lantern Gem with her fingertip, and said:

"Camouflage."

--camouflage.

As soon as he finished speaking, the lantern glowed faintly, then its shape was formed into Mobius Ring pendant, emitting a subtle magical wavelength that turned his eyes and hair black.

"Hmm, you've definitely gotten smarter."

"Now they've all learned to be unhappy."

Chu Yuanqing muttered a complaint under her breath. She soothed the lantern as if petting a small animal, preventing it from continuing to express its dissatisfaction through vibrations, which only made the soft flesh in its cleavage itch uncontrollably. She explained:

"Alright, alright, I turned you into Mobius Ring not because I hated your original appearance, it's just a disguise to avoid trouble."

The lantern's trembling subsided considerably, and it even shrank back into its soft flesh with a touch of haughtiness, looking incredibly easy to coax.

As Chu Yuanqing undressed and prepared to take a bath, he tested the lantern and discovered that after absorbing the materials of the Mobius Ring, its spirituality had become more vibrant, and it could now perform and maintain some minor spells for a long time in place of him.

This progress is significant, meaning that I will no longer have to focus on maintaining magic even when I'm sleeping, greatly improving my sleep quality.

Most importantly, this will prevent the Magical Girl going berserk due to the curse from repeating itself!

On the other hand, the mana fountain also expanded its capacity by one-third after accumulating a six-minute Magic Replenishment.

In addition to the magical crystals that have been reported from the outside world over the past week, she now has enough Magic Clone to spend a day with her Little Cotton-padded Jacket.

However, it is still far from being able to cope with the current situation.

Chu Yuanqing fell into deep thought.

<Flash Dance> distributed mysterious magical artifacts to all six A-Class. According to normal procedures, they should all be placed on a special watch list.

That's not important. What's important is that if Xiao Shu also shows promising qualities in the future, the government agencies behind Flash Dance will definitely conduct a rigorous investigation into her.

Once the investigation begins, the strangeness of Chu Yuanqing's identity will be fully revealed to the higher-ups.

--There are limits to the Magic Clone.

Chu Yuanqing was unaware of the secret of <Flash Dance> at the time. He temporarily created Magic Clone in Liuli's coffee shop, which appeared out of thin air in Zhelong Town. His subsequent disappearance was also suspicious, something that would have been discovered by the national authorities if they had investigated.

The worst part was that his Little Cotton-padded Jacket also gave him a vinyl record that day.

This was a gift that Xiao Shu carefully selected in order to reconcile!

Chu Yuanqing certainly wouldn't bear to throw it away, so that day she simply wrapped it up with Magic Thread to disguise it, and after getting past the <Flash Dance> security check, she carefully hid it in her suitcase, thinking that she would take it home when she had time.

But after realizing something was wrong with "Flashdance," the vinyl record went from a gift to a flaw.

Chu Yuanqing's identity has been corrected through causal adjustment, and theoretically, it has no overlap with Chu Yuanqing's identity. No one would doubt that the two are the same person.

But if this vinyl record were exposed, its originally flawless identity would have a sliver of a gap through which the truth could be glimpsed.

So she had to find a way to drop this time bomb back into the rented apartment!

After finishing her reading, Chu Yuanqing stopped thinking about it. She pressed the plug of the bathtub with her toe, letting the water gurgle into it. She stood up, dried herself, put on a wire-free ice silk bra, then put on a bathrobe, and used magic to separate the moisture from her hair.

Then, feeling refreshed, she walked out of the bathroom.

Perhaps because of her gender reassignment, she enjoys taking baths more than before, and her mood improves considerably afterward.

"Xiao Qing."

Xie Qingxuan sat obediently by the dressing table, her innocent eyes looking over. Her platinum blonde hair was wet, making her look like a Golden Haired Doggy that had been soaked by the rain, making one want to stroke her head.

Chu Yuanqing was charmed and honestly walked over to pet the Golden Haired Doggy's head. Her eyes softened, revealing a touch of maternal compassion. Her lips curled slightly as she habitually picked up a dry towel and began to dry the dog's hair, feeling somewhat sentimental.

It's so strange, both Liuli and Qingxuan are such adorable children.

However, their families didn't like them very much, and some even caused them extreme trauma.

If she had a healthy body to be their mother—no, I mean Dad —she would definitely take good care of them like a precious Little Cotton-padded Jacket.

Xie Qingxuan was as well-behaved as ever, and behaved very obediently while having her hair blow-dried.

When Chu Yuanqing stroked his hair like a doll, the child would let him do as he pleased, showing no trace of his strong and aloof demeanor.

After drying their hair, the two, who both have healthy lifestyles, lay down on their respective beds, ready to sleep.

Since there was only one bedroom in the A-Class practice room, Ji Shuzhu voluntarily went back to her dormitory to rest. Now, only she and Xie Qingxuan were in the room, just like before.

Chu Yuanqing didn't change out of her pajamas; she slipped into bed in her bathrobe. Her eyes were closed, but she hadn't been able to enjoy the tranquility before sleep for long when someone started to lie down beside her.

This time is different from the past.

The Golden Haired Doggy disregarded the boundary line; her eyes welled with tears, her hand slipped through her bathrobe, resting against Chu Yuanqing's wonderfully soft waist. She nuzzled her face against his shoulder in a spoiled manner, whispering:

"Xiao Qing, please teach me, okay?"

PS: As of now, the bounty has received 3,700 monthly votes, which is outrageous. I originally only wanted to make it into the top ten with a monthly vote bounty, but now I'm already in the top three.

P. S.: Damn it, I won't be cursing readers anymore, so here's some more monthly votes for the next chapter, the Golden Haired Doggy will be super A!

Volume 1: Chapter 117. Lap pillow, kiss, challenge. (5K2 votes requested)

Chu Yuanqing had just opened her eyes in a daze when a hand pressed tightly against her slender waist, her mind filled with confused questions.

Let me teach you?

What can I teach you?

Chu Yuanqing was momentarily stunned, then realized that the hand on her lower abdomen was very hot.

The Golden Haired Doggy's breath was incredibly close, its gentle warmth slowly caressing the delicate neck, sending a tingling sensation like a feather brush against it, mixed with the pleasant scent of jasmine toothpaste and cedar perfume, filling the nostrils as if trying to suffocate the senses.
