People in the Imperial Music Bureau: The Storytelling Demon Child Nezha

Most of the women in the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau) were daughters of disgraced officials. They were born into official families, were beautiful, had an ethereal temperament, and were quite talented.

With all of these combined, who could possibly control them?

When the music ended and the dancer gracefully bowed, Li Qiye seemed to awaken from a dream, savoring the beautiful dance he had just witnessed, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"No wonder Xu Qi'an keeps going to brothels. Now I can understand it a bit."

Since the Great Feng Yi was born.

Nothing much to do today, but listening to music in the brothels is a truly renowned activity!

Just as Li Qiye was immersed in reminiscing, a coquettish voice rang in his ear.

"Why did you come today, Xiao Qiye? Is your injury better?"

Li Qiye turned his head and looked at the person in front of him, and his memories merged to find that it was the proprietress of the Jiaofangsi.

Everyone called her Lady Zhu.

Although the story of Da Feng does not reveal who was behind the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment institution), it does not reveal who was in charge of it.

But even a fool would think that someone who could take over such a large music and dance academy must have a lot of connections.

They're probably royalty.

They are either rich or noble, powerful and influential.

Lady Zhu walked gracefully into the magnificent hall with its vermilion and embroidered doors, like a peony in full bloom in spring, displaying her voluptuous beauty.

Amidst her cloud-like hair and beautiful face, a golden hairpin swayed gently with her movements, producing a crisp and melodious sound, adding to her graceful charm.

Her figure was graceful, and every step she took was elegant and slow, as if time itself stood still for her charm.

Her rounded shoulders perfectly supported the gorgeous brocade dress.

Her face was as round as a full moon, her skin as white as snow, with a faint blush, like a peach blossom just beginning to bloom in the morning, delicate and tender.

Her almond-shaped eyes, with their captivating charm, seemed to hold a thousand unspoken words. A single glance from them could stir the heart.

Beneath her high, straight nose, her two delicate red lips were slightly upturned, a half-smile on her face, carrying an enigmatic and mysterious charm.

Her demeanor was unrestrained and free-spirited, completely unlike the coy manners of ordinary women.

She would occasionally wave her round fan, revealing the warm and lustrous jade bracelet on her fair wrist, her laughter echoing in the hall like silver bells.

At times, she would raise her glass for a light sip, her slender fingers holding the exquisite wine glass, every movement exuding a captivating charm.

However, this unrestrained spirit is not without an innate nobility.

With every gesture, she naturally exudes a noble air that surpasses everyone else, as if she were the most dazzling pearl in the world, not to be underestimated by anyone.

She stood there, a living portrait of beauty, her voluptuous charm and noble temperament perfectly blended, leaving people not only amazed but also filled with awe.

Li Qiye was slightly lost in thought as he looked at the beautiful young woman.

This is seven points more beautiful than a combination of the stars Zhu Zhu and Xu Qing from her previous life.

He bowed slightly and said politely, "Thank you for your concern, Madam Zhu. Everything is fine now."

Lady Zhu covered her mouth and chuckled: "It's good that you're alright. Now that you're here, hurry up and go on stage to tell your story. The girls have been losing interest these past few days since you last came."

Li Qiye smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to tell you a new story today."

Upon hearing this, Lady Zhu's phoenix eyes lit up, and she quickly replied, "As you wish, as you wish! Since Xiao Qiye is in such high spirits, that's wonderful! The ladies and gentlemen will be in for a treat."

There was a reason why Lady Zhu kept Li Qiye.

When they first saw that Li Qiye was idle all day long, but had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and was exceptionally handsome, they had a thought and gave him a job as a storyteller in the brothel.

Recalling this incident, Li Qiye sighed inwardly, "Being handsome is great, just like the audience, someone takes care of you."

Few people listened to the stories the original owner told; he was mostly supported by women from brothels.

Some jokingly called him a pretty boy from the brothel.

After tidying up briefly, Li Qiye calmly stepped onto the stage.

A burst of laughter erupted from the audience, and someone shouted, "Hey, here comes the pretty boy again. Is he going to say something about a poor scholar becoming the top scholar again?"

His friend laughed.

"Hahaha!"

"Are you going to say this again? Can you change it? I'm sick of hearing it."

Then sounds came from the side tables.

"Hurry down and let Miss Fuxiang make her appearance."

"Exactly, I didn't pay to hear your stories."

However, these voices were noticed by a single glance from Lady Zhu.

"If you do not wish to see Fu Xiang, you may leave immediately."

Upon hearing this, the mocking men immediately changed their tune and became ingratiating.

"Hehe, Lady Zhu, we were just joking."

"Humph."

Lady Zhu snorted coldly, showing no respect to these people whatsoever.

Upon seeing this, Li Qiye cursed his predecessor inwardly, thinking he was not human.

Not even a single chance for Lady Zhu?

Ahem, I've gone off on a tangent.

Li Qiye was moved and decided to give her a chance.

He then ignored the mockery and remained calm.

After the noise subsided, he cleared his throat and announced loudly, "Today, Li Qiye will tell a new story, a story called—The Demon Child Nezha!"

Upon hearing this, the audience fell silent instantly. Although there was still some doubt in their eyes, they were all attracted by the novel story title!

"Ne Zha, the Demon Child".

"magic?"

Featuring a demon as the main character?

interesting?

In the second-floor annex, Fu Xiang, who was about to go downstairs, stopped in her tracks upon hearing the story Li Qiye was telling.

Curiosity shone through her captivating, alluring eyes.

She was originally a tail of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, the ruler of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, named Night Princess!

Fu Xiang was merely a woman from an official family who had possessed her body.

It was the first time she had ever seen someone use a demon as the main character in storytelling, so how could she not be curious?

Lady Zhu was also quite surprised, as she thought Li Qiye would still tell that kind of story.

This Nezha doesn't look quite right!

Li Qiye's voice rang out.

"Legend has it that after the creation of the world, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth nurtured a Primordial Pearl over thousands of years!"

The soundscape is immersive, accompanied by Li Qiye's voice.

Everyone felt as if they were in an auspicious sky, with a Chaos Pearl in front of them!

Li Qiye continued.

"It greedily absorbs the essence of the sun and moon, and its power continues to grow. However, the spiritual energy it absorbs is too chaotic. Immortal energy and demonic energy are intertwined and unclear. It cannot distinguish between good and evil, and it does evil and brings suffering to living beings."

"On this day, the sage of the Chan Sect, Yuanshi Tianzun, sent his disciples, Taiyi Zhenren and Shen Gongbao, to subdue the Hunyuan Pearl!"

P.S. Requesting flowers, monthly passes, and ratings.

Chapter Four: The Path of Immortality is the Path, the Path of Demons is the Path! Prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain!

Chapter Four: The Path of Immortality is the Path, the Path of Demons is the Path! Prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain!

Li Qiye's voice was deeply moving as he introduced Taiyi Zhenren.

"In the spiritually rich sky, Taiyi Zhenren rode his flying pig. He was somewhat fat and loved to show off."

Li Qiye's immersive voice brought the image of Taiyi Zhenren to life in everyone's minds, just like painting.

"Hahaha."

A burst of laughter erupted immediately.

"Interesting that a disciple of a sage rides a pig."

"Pretty boy, aren't you afraid the immortals will punish you for telling stories like that?"

Li Qiye simply said, "Who says all immortals are of an otherworldly air?"

"That's just wishful thinking on your part."

Forehead!

Li Qiye's retort left them speechless.

She wanted to lash out, but sorry, Lady Zhu protected Li Qiye like a mother protecting her own child.

If you dare to act recklessly, she will have the men in your family exiled to the frontier and the women sent to the brothel tomorrow.

A wafting fragrance brings a captivating smile.

"How come I never realized Li Qiye was so interesting before?"

"The story is quite interesting."

Below the stage, a woman dressed as a man, who was also a "young master," found Li Qiye quite interesting.

Her name was Pingyang. She was the daughter of Prince Yu, a princess of a kingdom, and a close friend of Princess Lin'an of Dafeng.

On a whim today, I decided to come and see what makes this place so appealing to men so charming.

Unexpectedly, after arriving and hearing Li Qiye tell stories, he became so engrossed in it that he laughed.

This story is really interesting!

She took out a gold ingot and quickly said, "Young master, please continue."

Such extravagance startled Li Qiye, and those around him were also astonished. Which young master was so wealthy?!

The dancers at the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment institution) were very envious.

A gold ingot!

This reward money is probably only something that the courtesan Fu Xiang would be willing to spend a fortune on.

Seeing this, Lady Zhu smiled, pleased with Li Qiye.

Li Qiye glanced at Pingyang.

With red lips and white teeth, a face like a peach blossom, she was stunningly beautiful and possessed an air of noble elegance.

woman!

A woman comes to the brothel?!

After a moment of surprise, Li Qiye expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you for the money, young master."

"Don't underestimate this pig, everyone. It's a treasure that can change according to its owner."

Pingyang asked out of curiosity.

"What Mr. Qiye means is that he is a pig in the eyes of Master Taiyi."

"What other treasures are they to others?"

Li Qiye praised it after hearing it.

"Young master is truly intelligent."
