Chapter 105: Feeling Heatstroke
When the legendary Purple-Eyed Fairy finally appeared, her eyes, as clear as purple agate, stood out vividly against her snow-white skin, making her gaze captivating.
The Western Woman’s sculpted features and slender physique exuded an uncommon allure.
However, the Purple-Eyed Fairy wore a veil as thin as cicada wings, hinting at the features beneath, making people even more curious about her appearance behind the veil.
“Hey, hurry and take off the veil, let us see how you look!”
“That’s right, calling yourself a fairy with a veil on? Then after I put on a veil, I can also claim to be the Capital’s Number One Beauty.”
“Get lost, shave off your beard first.”
“Quick, take it off! I really want to see what kind of woman has such purple eyes!”
As expected, the crowd began to buzz with excitement.
Everyone was eager to witness the Purple-Eyed Fairy’s true appearance, to see if she was as captivating as the rumors claimed, to the point of being smitten at first sight and city-toppling at the second.
However, the Purple-Eyed Fairy paid no attention to the crowd. Instead, she reached out, grabbed the colorful cloth strips hanging from above, and began to move her body in mid-air. Her graceful movements, synchronized with the music, were a delight to behold.
The opera house’s event was not intended to make the Purple-Eyed Fairy famous in the capital, but rather to debunk the rumors of Western women carrying infectious diseases, proving that these were fabricated and false messages spread by ill-intentioned individuals.
Therefore, regardless of the audience’s clamor, the Purple-Eyed Fairy continued her performance.
In reality, as the noble Saintess of the Holy Cult, Kadisha was extremely angered by having to entertain the masses with performances.
However, with the bigger picture in mind, she had to complete her mission.
As long as she could turn Linfeng Kingdom upside down, her mission would be considered complete.
The Cult Master would surely achieve his grand ambition, unifying many countries and establishing a unique dynasty!
And their Holy Cult would also be passed down to future generations as the state religion, earning the admiration of all.
It’s just that there were still some annoying insects that had appeared, obstructing the Holy Cult’s development plan…
Thinking of this, Kadisha covertly cast a glance towards a private room. When she realized that the one spreading the rumors was here, she became so angry that her teeth itched.
These people would pay the price for their foolish actions!
“Tsk, tsk, I never expected… Western styles of gymnastics to be so amazing, to be able to perform such difficult moves, it’s truly incredible.”
“Yes, I feel pain all over even when I bend down now.”
“Brother Tang, perhaps you’re getting old and your body can’t keep up.”
“…”
In the private room, as Chengfeng Shan exclaimed in amazement, Maoyuan Tang chimed in next to him. However, Chengfeng Shan’s subsequent words caused Maoyuan Tang’s forehead to be covered in black lines, giving him the urge to punch Chengfeng Shan.
What did he mean by “can’t keep up” when he got old? He just looked older, but he was still young in actual age!
Compared to Chengfeng Shan, Maoyuan Tang was only three years older.
But just a three-year difference, and from the outside, Maoyuan Tang could be seen as a match for Gu Qing, who was in his thirties.
This made Maoyuan Tang quite conflicted, but due to his family’s genetic tendency to look older, he couldn’t change it.
“This woman is indeed very skilled, I can’t do what she does. Sister Mengyao, you think so too, right?”
“Mm.”
As Chengfeng Shan and Maoyuan Tang were talking, Bai Lin Yue also spoke up. Her eyes were fixed on the Purple-Eyed Fairy in mid-air on the stage, and her face showed an expression of admiration, finding the woman to be very impressive.
To be honest, she truly couldn’t perform that kind of dance in mid-air.
When Bai Lin Yue asked Gu Mengyao, Gu Mengyao responded with a simple “Mm.” Gu Yu, sitting next to her, turned to look at her with a suspicious gaze, prompting Gu Mengyao to shake her head and signal Gu Yu not to say anything.
After practicing the lightness skill provided by the Space, Gu Mengyao’s body was also very flexible, and she could easily perform the movements of the Purple-Eyed Fairy on stage.
In fact, she could even perform more difficult moves than these.
However, such things were not easy to talk about, so when Bai Lin Yue asked, Gu Mengyao quickly agreed, indicating that she felt the same.
Gu Yu, seeing his little wife’s expression, understood her thoughts and didn’t expose her, thinking that he should be the only one who knows his little wife’s secret.
Soft…
“Brother Gu, why are you bleeding from your nose?”
“Hmm… Perhaps I’ve been feeling a bit heated lately! It’s fine, you guys continue watching.”
Afterward, as Gu Yu was lost in his thoughts, he felt a warmth in his nose. When Chengfeng Shan’s voice rang out, Gu Yu realized he was bleeding from his nose.
He had only thought for a short while before bleeding from his nose… he was too weak!
At this moment, Gu Mengyao took out a handkerchief and helped Gu Yu clean his nosebleed, while also thinking that her little husband’s “heat” was too strong. When they returned, she could make some light and cooling meals to help alleviate it.
Unfortunately, Gu Mengyao didn’t know that this “heat” was not the kind that could be regulated by food.
“Brother Gu, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this opera house! For now, it seems quite normal.”
While Gu Mengyao was wiping Gu Yu’s nosebleed, Maoyuan Tang, looking at the Purple-Eyed Fairy performing on stage, managed to pull back his almost-spilled drool. When he spoke to Gu Yu again, he didn’t feel anything unusual.
The only strange thing was that Westerners had suddenly come to the capital to open a shop.
And they had managed to open a shop despite the language barrier, even finding many locals as guides to introduce people to the opera house, to avoid trouble caused by not being able to communicate.
However, these things alone couldn’t directly say that the opera house had a problem. Perhaps they couldn’t stay in their countries in the Western Regions, so they had traveled thousands of miles to Linfeng Kingdom to make a living.
“By the time the problem appears, it will be too late.”
Gu Yu chuckled and shook his head upon hearing Maoyuan Tang’s words. But when Gu Mengyao gave him a disapproving glance, he abruptly stopped.
If he didn’t know English, Gu Yu wouldn’t have known that the Westerners in the opera house were people sent by the Holy Cult.
However, only Gu Mengyao and a few others knew that Gu Yu could speak English; others were unaware, so they had no way of knowing the opera house’s secret.
“Even if the opera house isn’t normal, why would they invite us in if they guessed the news came from Brother Gu?”
“It’s very simple, she’s trying to show off to me.”
After Chengfeng Shan also spoke, Gu Yu didn’t keep them in suspense and directly revealed the reason.
That so-called Purple-Eyed Fairy was not to be underestimated. The reason she wasn’t making a move now was not only out of fear of Gu Qing but also because she wanted to compete with Gu Yu.
To see whether Gu Yu’s plan would succeed or if her side would turn the tables.
However, Gu Yu felt that the Saintess was still too naive.
She didn’t do anything herself.
Therefore, even if they were placed under his nose, it wouldn’t stop the weakness medicinal powder from spreading among the people.
Unlike the private room where Gu Yu and his companions were located, many people were squeezed together, watching the performance on stage, making it convenient for Xi Yang to carry out his plan stealthily.
All the men who had come into contact with the Western women had not escaped. They were directly given some weakness medicinal powder, and after ten minutes, the medicinal effect would begin to take hold.
“Oh my god, why can’t I move?”
“Ahhh! Me too!”
“Wait, could it be that disease!”
“There are so many people, it’s impossible for only a few of us to be unlucky! Maybe someone poisoned the tea…”
“Give it up, look over there, a whole crowd can’t move, and they didn’t have tea cups in front of them.”
As the weakness medicinal powder took effect, people disregarded the Purple-Eyed Fairy’s performance and, in a panic, rushed out of the ‘Exotic Charm’ opera house as if crazy, fearing they too might have contracted a strange illness.
Those affected by the weakness medicinal powder could not even run and could only stand in place with panicked expressions, regretting why they had come in the first place, leading to them sacrificing their own bodies.
Truly regretting it now!
The people in the private rooms, however, were not panicked and calmly waited for further developments.
Those in the private rooms were all wealthy and influential. Knowing that the rumors were unreliable, they were naturally calmer than ordinary people.
“What… what’s happening all of a sudden? The performance was going so well, why did it turn into this!”
In the private room, Maoyuan Tang exclaimed in surprise as he looked out the window at the fleeing people, clearly not expecting such a development.
The Purple-Eyed Fairy on stage also stopped her movements. As her feet touched the ground, her eyes sharply fixed on Gu Yu’s private room, clearly knowing that Gu Yu was behind the scheme.
Kadisha was able to know that Gu Yu was spreading the rumors purely by coincidence. When her maid, Kana, wanted to abduct Gu Yu and force him to reveal how to make people obedient, she also had someone inquire about Gu Yu’s identity.
As a result, upon learning that Gu Yu was just a villager, Kana was very confused and wondered if they had the wrong person!
How could a mere villager know how to control people!
However, after learning that Gu Yu’s medical skills were very famous, Kana immediately understood.
Even though Gu Yu was just a villager, his medical skills were very impressive, capable of curing the measles that infected the entire town, proving his prowess.
Then, as Kana was about to abduct him, she suddenly discovered that although Gu Yu was just a villager, his father-in-law held a high position in the capital with considerable status.
Moreover, with the background of Great General Gongsun Jie involved, Kana found it exceptionally tricky.
In the end, Kana reported the news to the Saintess, leaving the decision on what to do next to her…
Thinking of this, the Saintess felt that she had underestimated Gu Yu; this man was powerful.
And very insidious.
He never did things by the book, instead choosing to scheme behind people’s backs, as long as he could achieve the desired outcome.
