Chapter 123: Chapter 125: Su Luoluo Becomes Beautiful (3)
Quite a crowd had gathered, and Su Luoluo thought she was in for a uniquely spectacular show.
But as it turned out, she had overestimated the talents of these primitive people.
The performances of the females before her were a bizarre, motley assortment.
One was wearing a feather skirt and barking like a dog.
Another had wrapped herself in vines, posing as a flower on display.
And another actually started performing the art of shelling wild fruits right on the spot.
Because her shelling speed was so fast, she earned waves of applause from the Beastmen in the audience.
She had to admit, while the talent portion of the show was rather lacking, it was certainly entertaining. Su Luoluo watched with great relish.
A few others came up to imitate the calls of bulls and wolves. They were so convincing that they even got some of the bull and Wolf Beastmen in the crowd to howl back at the top of their lungs.
It was like some kind of Beastman version of a call-and-response folk song.
Except it was in an encrypted language that no one else could understand.
Cai Xia and Ah Zhu stood beside Su Luoluo. Noticing that she hadn’t really dressed up, Cai Xia grew anxious. "Luoluo, is this all you’re wearing today?"
’Su Luoluo has so many beautiful dresses. Why would she wear such a plain Beast Skin Skirt today?’
Su Luoluo just smiled and said calmly, "Don’t worry. You’ll see in a bit."
When they heard Su Luoluo was entering the Most Beautiful Female contest, Ah Zhu and Cai Xia’s first reaction was that she would definitely win. They didn’t know how, but they were sure Su Luoluo had some special trick up her sleeve.
At her words, they nodded. "We believe you’ll definitely win the title of Most Beautiful Female."
The moment they said this, the nearby females couldn’t help but start laughing.
"Cai Xia, Ah Zhu, don’t think you can be so confident in Su Luoluo just because she taught you how to make pottery. Just look at her. How could she possibly win first place?"
"Exactly! With that plain face, how can she possibly compare to Nuannuan?"
Hearing this, Su Nuannuan’s lips curled into a smirk. She was wearing a snow-white fox fur Beast Skin Skirt today, with a crown of fresh flowers woven into her black hair. She looked utterly graceful and beautiful.
After the previous few performers were done, she took the stage. Holding the hem of her Beast Skin Skirt, she moved like a graceful butterfly, her slender arms waving through the air, accentuating her already willowy and enchanting figure.
’I have to admit,’ Su Luoluo thought, ’Su Nuannuan really has some skill.’
This butterfly imitation dance of hers was on a much higher level than the previous females’ performances.
’No wonder she was crowned champion of the last Most Beautiful Female contest. The girl’s got real talent.’
Su Luoluo commented to herself as she watched.
The Beastmen below were already whistling and applauding, cheering loudly for Su Nuannuan.
Hearing the thunderous applause, Su Nuannuan couldn’t help but feel a surge of smugness.
She had prepared for this day by carefully observing the various movements of butterflies in flight, all so she could imitate them and choreograph this very dance.
While dancing, Su Nuannuan didn’t forget to wave her arms a few extra times in front of Xiao Ye, Mo Xuan, and the others, flaunting her beauty for them.
Su Luoluo saw it all. ’What a shame,’ she thought.
’After getting to know those guys, she realized that Xiao Ye and the others actually preferred curvier women. Su Nuannuan, while beautiful, just wasn’t provocative enough for them.’
’It couldn’t be helped; those guys were just that shallow. It was a pity, really. She’d been waving at them for so long, yet they remained completely unmoved.’
Su Luoluo sighed and shook her head. ’What a waste of effort for Su Nuannuan.’
However, Su Nuannuan saw this series of pitiful gestures and assumed Su Luoluo thought her dancing was terrible, even mocking her for failing to get a reaction from her own Beastmen.
A flash of fury gathered in her eyes, but she instantly suppressed it. ’I’ll deal with this after the performance,’ she decided.
But when she went to find Su Luoluo after her performance, she discovered that Luoluo was gone.
During the second half of Su Nuannuan’s dance, Su Luoluo had slipped away from the crowd and gone to her hut to put on makeup.
It wasn’t that she was trying to be mysterious. The foundation she had made herself didn’t have enough staying power, so she could only apply it for a short time to maximize its effect.
Her skin wasn’t fair, so she applied a homemade foundation that matched her skin tone. Her main issue was that her features weren’t very defined, and her eyes were a bit deep-set.
She used some highlights and contour to instantly make her features appear sharper and more defined. Then she added some definition beneath her eyes to make them look bigger.
When she took the stage, she was wearing a colorful feather skirt.
She wore the earrings from Xi Yi, the bracelet from Fu Feng, and the shoes from Luan Ting.
She wasn’t graceful enough to be a dancer, so she didn’t choose to dance. Instead, she played the cheerful tune of "South of the Colorful Clouds" on a leaf.
Under the moonlight, the feather skirt hugged her body perfectly, accentuating her every curve. The moment she appeared, many of the Beastmen’s eyes lit up. ’What an incredible figure!’
When Xiao Ye saw men from other tribes brazenly staring at Su Luoluo, his eyes turned red with jealousy. ’If I’d known this would happen, I never would have let her go on stage.’
Su Luoluo gently blew into the leaf, and a cheerful melody began to drift through the air.
The lighthearted music captivated everyone. They had never heard a melody like it before; it was simply too beautiful.
Many of the Beastmen had already started to ask around.
"Who is this female? I’ve never seen her before. Is she a newly-come-of-age female from your Wolf Clan?"
"This song is amazing! Just listening to it gets me pumped up."
"Now this female’s figure is more my style. The last one was too skinny."
Su Nuannuan had been waiting for Su Luoluo to make a fool of herself, but she never expected her to look so beautiful today—it was as if she’d had work done.
’Su Luoluo’s features have never been that defined. She must have painted something on her face.’
Some of the other females also thought Su Luoluo looked different today.
But now, her features looked a lot like the Leader’s Wife. Perhaps it was because she had lost weight.
Because Su Luoluo’s performance was unlike anything anyone had ever seen before, she ultimately won the title of Most Beautiful Female.
Su Nuannuan watched Su Luoluo standing on the stage, adored by everyone, her face now so beautiful.
Her expression was one of pure disbelief. Su Luoluo had definitely done something to her face.
’Could she have put on makeup, just like me?’
With this thought, she glanced to the side at a Water Buffalo Beastman who had been trying to curry her favor for a long time. He was currently holding a cup of fruit wine.
She pretended to stumble and fall. The Water Buffalo Beastman saw his beloved trip and rushed to help her up. But before he could steady the fruit-shell cup in his hand, Su Nuannuan "accidentally" knocked his arm, sending the drink splashing toward Su Luoluo’s face.
Su Luoluo had been expecting a move like this from Su Nuannuan. She quickly raised her hand to block, and the fruit wine splashed right back onto Su Nuannuan.
She just hadn’t expected the fruit wine to spray directly all over Su Nuannuan’s face.
The thought of Su Nuannuan’s face being drenched in purplish-red fruit juice made Su Luoluo want to laugh.
Su Luoluo took a closer look, but was surprised to see that beneath the purplish-red juice, Su Nuannuan’s face looked strange, as if it were covered in dense little bumps.
Realizing her face was drenched in fruit wine, Su Nuannuan immediately covered it with her hands and fled the scene.
Just as Su Luoluo was trying to get a clearer look, her Beastmen surrounded her.
Su Luoluo was simply too beautiful today; they all agreed she had never looked more stunning.
They all approached her as one. Seeing them staring at her, Su Luoluo asked, puzzled, "What are you all doing here?"
Xiao Ye made no attempt to hide his intentions. "I came to ask if you’ve chosen your prize yet."
"Isn’t there still one day left?"
"But we can’t wait," Mo Xuan said, his gaze burning as he stared at Su Luoluo.
Su Luoluo thought for a moment. "Then follow me."
The group followed Su Luoluo to her outdoor kitchen. She picked up a few stones from the ground, drew something on them, and placed them in a jar.
"I’ve drawn each of you on these. In a moment, I’ll draw a stone, and I’ll go on a date with whoever I pick."
’After thinking it over, drawing lots seemed like the fairest way,’ Su Luoluo mused.
’Since there was no paper in this primitive society, drawing stones would have to do.’
She reached into the pottery jar, felt around for a moment, then pulled out a stone and held it up for them to see.
"This is the one! I’ll go on a date with him tomorrow."
Everyone looked and was surprised to see the drawing of a fish.
Su Luoluo hadn’t expected it either. She had actually chosen to go on a date with Nantu.
’This was really not a good choice.’
