Chapter 1680: Chapter 740: Recognized

As soon as General Wujian clapped his hands, ten mermaids dressed in coral-red dance dresses gracefully appeared.

Each one was tall, with only a delicately crafted brocade top on her upper body, revealing a waist as slim as a willow. The long skirts on their lower bodies were knee-length, adorned with golden tassels.

The most fascinating aspect was the large slit on the right side of the skirt, extending from the calf to halfway up the thigh, exposing pairs of long legs that could easily captivate one’s mind.

These mermaids wore veils resembling mist or water on their faces, obscuring their features but with eyes that were hazy and black hair cascading like a waterfall. With a gentle sway of their waists, their snow-white skin dazzled the viewer’s eyes.

These costumes, according to Guangzi, were called Indian Dance Dresses, unheard of in the Ancient Nine Provinces Continent and even in the Divine Realm.

Guangzi saw them during childhood, when traveling to the 21st century with his mother Yun Sheng.

Prior to Ye Lingyue’s rebirth, Guangzi searched everywhere for her.

Because it was more convenient as a female, Guangzi performed all over the Divine Realm and Human Realm as the star of the Moonlight Troupe, and this Indian dance was among the performances.

Everywhere they went, crowds came to watch, and this was the first time performing in the Ancient Nine Provinces.

Upon appearance, they immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

Not only the men, but even Shui Yaoyao and Moonflower present were secretly amazed despite their envy. They sized up the women, imagining how alluring they would be if they wore the Indian Dance Dresses.

Shui Yaoyao couldn’t help but glance toward Chi Ye.

Chi Ye unbeknownst to himself, lowered the cup in his hand and looked at the group of mermaids, with his eyes fixed on one of the women.

Shui Yaoyao was nearly biting her silver tooth in anger, glaring fiercely at the woman who caught Chi Ye’s attention.

As for the others present, like the Demon King Tongtian, they were practically glued to those women.

Compared to the previous Fox Woman, these women’s clothing wasn’t overly revealing, but appropriately seductive, exposing what needed to be exposed while concealing what needed concealment, perfectly provoking desire.

Listening to the music, the rhythm alternated between a dancing brook and a meandering river.

Ye Lingyue, Wuyue, Tang Lingbo, and others transformed into mermaids, performing for the first time before such a large audience. Initially cautious and timid, they opened up under Guangzi’s lead, enhancing the performance.

Ye Lingyue in particular seemed more familiar with the dance compared to the other two, vaguely recalling having seen such a dance somewhere in her early years.

Therefore, during practice, Guangzi praised her for mastering it well.

Guangzi even proposed that Ye Lingyue should lead the second half of the dance.

Now the music changed, and Guangzi and Ye Lingyue interwove, swapping positions.

A closer look would reveal Ye Lingyue’s dance dress differed slightly from the others.

Her top was much more conservative, covering her chest tightly, and the slit of her skirt was also lower.

Ye Lingyue realized the difference upon wearing it, and upon inquiry, learned it was Di Shen who stealthily modified the dress when Guangzi wasn’t paying attention.

When Ye Lingyue found out, it was too late to alter it again, leaving her amused and helpless.

But even so, it set her apart, making her stand out even more among the women, surpassing Guangzi’s attraction.

If Di Shen knew his tampering led to his wife becoming the center of attention, he would surely regret it until his face turned green.

Ye Lingyue possessed excellent innate conditions with the slimmest waist, making her legs appear even longer. With a gentle shake, the golden tassels between her legs shone brightly under the bonfire, akin to countless fireflies dancing around her.

Her moonlit eyes sparkled and flowed, tender yet hesitant.

General Wujian was elated to see his group of mermaids shine brightly.

He proudly glanced at General Leopard Ma, seeing his sullen face.

Looking at the Golden Ape Demon General, he noticed the other was also fixated on the leading woman, clutching a cup.

His heart felt as though it would leap out of his chest, beating painfully.

"This is called Indian Dance, something I learned by chance during childhood travels with my mother and brother," Guangzi explained.

Under the sparsely starry summer night sky, fireflies fluttered.

On that day, which was the death anniversary of his father and mother, he alone worshiped at their gravesite.

In his solitary sadness, she alone found him.

The woman hummed the lively dance tune and stepped in rhythm, differing only in attire and time.

Yet her posture and gaze unmistakably belonged to her, who else could it be.

Amid a gaze of surprise, Xi Jiuye even forgot he was disguised as the Golden Ape Demon General, disregarding his purpose at the Demon Clan, which was to seize the Senluo Ghost Fruit King.

He walked toward the increasingly clear figure in the group of dancers.

His fingers trembled slightly, as he raised his hand to touch the veil.

"Is it you?"

Upon hearing that low and unusually familiar voice, a flash of alarm passed through Ye Lingyue’s eyes.

"Xi Jiuye!"

The overwhelming pressure and fierce movement technique immediately reminded Ye Lingyue of the scene at Lion Roar Hill.

How could Xi Jiuye be here?

The astonishment in Ye Lingyue’s eyes flickered and soon vanished, quickly realizing the Jin Family had chosen to infiltrate the Tongtian Tribe after all.

It was baffling how Xi Jiuye managed to disguise his true appearance and look exactly like the Demon Clan.

Ye Lingyue couldn’t fathom that Xi Jiuye had seen Ling Yue perform this dance.

Surprised, those accompanying nearby, including Di Shen and Bo Qing, were slightly moved.

Xi Jiuye took a deep breath, intending to forcibly remove the dancer’s veil.

"Golden Ape Demon General!" Wujian cried out in shock.

Was the Golden Ape Demon General drunk and muddle-headed to dare lay hands on a mermaid?

These ten exquisite mermaids were gifts for the Demon King Tongtian, though the king might not accept them all.

But the one the Golden Ape Demon General harassed was clearly one of the best two among the ten.

The Demon King Tongtian was previously delighted with the changed Golden Ape Demon King, only to be somewhat disappointed by the sudden act and was about to reprimand him.

Just then, a cry of surprise was heard.

A shadow suddenly darted into the group of dancers, moving even faster than the Golden Ape Demon General.

One graceful mermaid was swiftly picked up horizontally by someone.
