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

Page 6

"The next day, Lady Yin was finally about to give birth, and the Immortal Taiyi took out the Seven-Colored Lotus to open it."

"But at this moment, the steward of the Li family sent a jar of wine to Taiyi Zhenren."

"Taiyi Zhenren could not resist the temptation. He took a sip, but then felt it was not enough. He finished it all and fell into a deep sleep."

"So that's what happened! The steward of the Li family had already been controlled by Shen Gongbao using a puppet talisman, just waiting for Taiyi to bring out the Seven-Colored Lotus."

"As the name suggests, the Puppet Talisman will turn the victim into the puppet of the talisman caster!"

The guests immediately started talking upon hearing this.

"Master Taiyi, you're still drinking at such a critical moment?"

"How can you drink alcohol at a time like this!"

"You think you're like us?"

"Brother, don't be upset, have a drink!"

"Hmm, after having a drink, I knew Shen Gongbao was up to something."

Li Qiye chuckled inwardly as he listened and continued speaking.

"The steward tried to take the precious lotus while Taiyi Zhenren was asleep, but the precious lotus had already been enchanted by the Heavenly Venerable, and only Taiyi Zhenren could move it."

"But right now, with Lady Yin about to give birth, Taiyi Zhenren is fast asleep, so Li Jing can only beat Taiyi to make him vomit up the wine."

After a flurry of punches, Taiyi spat out the medicinal wine and then began his farcical journey of opening the lotus.

"It turns out that the Seven-Colored Lotus has set up the secret of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, and the Great Master Taiyi has forgotten how to decipher it."

"There's only one chance left," Taiyi thought, "I can open it with just my fingerprints."

The guests were both amused and exasperated upon hearing this.

Laughter filled the air.

"After Baolian opened, the Spirit Pearl and the Demon Orb emerged. The steward, who was being controlled by the puppet talisman, shouted, 'The tavern is half price!'"

"This sound was a feint, striking Taiyi Zhenren, but Li Jing had already noticed it."

"The steward who was about to steal the Spirit Pearl was caught, and after examining him, Master Taiyi realized that he had been afflicted by the Puppet Talisman."

"After they were removed, little did anyone know that a figure had taken the Demon Orb and the Spirit Pearl away!"

"So this was the real feint attack! Shen Gongbao had two plans; he even put the servants of the Li family into puppet form!"

"Taiyi, Li Jing was greatly alarmed!"

"The two wanted to take it back, but who knew that the servant would actually put the demon pill into Madam Yin's body!"

"A surge of crimson demonic energy entered Lady Yin's womb."

"Taiyi, Li Jing has panicked and no longer has the will to pursue!"

"Shen Gongbao smiled and whispered as he received the spirit pearl. He wanted to prove that he, Shen Gongbao, was the only candidate among the Twelve Golden Immortals!"

"Having said that, he left Chentang Pass!"

"And outside the delivery room!"

"Taiyi, Li Jing is worried!"

"Finally, after a stick of incense had burned, Lady Yin gave birth!"

"The Demon Child Nezha has been born!"

"To find out what happens next, stay tuned for the next installment!"

Chapter Seven: Extracting the Demon Child's Legacy!

"Oh, that's it?"

"I haven't heard enough yet!"

"Me too, I'm also curious about what Nezha looked like when he was born."

"No, Li Qiye, you must continue. You are not allowed to leave."

The sudden ending caused the guests to shout loudly.

They were very dissatisfied.

This is like taking your pants off and then making me put them back on.

Princess Pingyang, disguised as a man, couldn't get enough of the story; she had never heard such a wonderful tale before.

However, she discovered something interesting today, and Pingyang decided to share it with her best friend.

Lin'an!

...

On the stage, Li Qiye chuckled and clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Jiaofangsi. Next up is the time for Miss Fuxiang and her sisters."

"How can I overstep this boundary?"

"Besides, the manuscript has only been edited up to this point today."

"Please enjoy drinks and watching the dance with the ladies first. Tomorrow, I will make sure everyone is satisfied."

He was able to have food to eat at the brothel thanks to their care.

Now that they have the system, they are sure to rise to prominence, but they must not forget the kindness shown to them, nor can they stop them from earning money.

Li Qiye's words left the guests with no choice but to accept the situation.

The girls from the brothel looked at Li Qiye with gratitude.

At this moment, their past assistance and Li Qiye's actions today form a closed loop.

Fu Xiang couldn't help but look at him with newfound respect.

Be humble and composed, and don't let money blind you.

He is quite talented.

interesting.

She discovered an interesting person in Dafeng.

Li Qiye stepped down from the stage.

As he finished his storytelling, the music and dance troupe of the Imperial Music Bureau began to resound.

"Xiao Qiye, come with me."

Lady Zhu called him to come over.

Li Qiye obediently followed, knowing they were going to collect the reward money.

Normally, Li Qiye received very little reward money for telling stories; it was the girls in the brothel who pooled together the money for him.

Following behind Lady Zhu, she wore a form-fitting long dress that perfectly accentuated her curves.

That silhouette, with its slender waist and full hips forming a captivating curve, swayed gracefully with every step, like a willow gently swaying in a spring breeze, exuding mature charm.

Her steps were light, her body swaying gently with the rhythm of her walk. Beneath her slender waist, her round and pert hips outlined a curve that resembled a beautiful painting, full of alluring charm.

Her long, flowing hair fell casually to her slender waist, forming a captivating S-curve with her pert hips.

She is like an elegant white swan, every step she takes exudes innate sexiness and charm.

Li Qiye thought to himself: She's really a vixen!

Lady Zhu noticed this and was surprised; how had Xiao Qiye become so bold?

You should know that Li Qiye is not usually that bold.

Her alluring face was slightly flushed, which only accentuated her round and perky buttocks.

Li Qiye exclaimed that he couldn't take it anymore.

That's blatant seduction.

Upon arriving on the third floor, we followed Lady Zhu into her private room.

Stepping inside is like stumbling upon a gentle haven sealed by time, where a rich fragrance instantly envelops you.

Intertwined with this is the faint, sweet fragrance of rouge and face powder on the dressing table, delicate and soft, revealing a woman's persistence and expectation of beauty. Every color and every scent tells the story of her meticulous daily grooming.

The incense burner beside the bed emits wisps of ambergris smoke, carrying a sense of mystery and antiquity, enveloping the entire space in a hazy, poetic atmosphere, as if time itself has slowed down and become tender.

The ambergris blended with the warm fragrance in the room, adding to the tranquility and peace, as if whispering the secrets of Lady Zhu.

The room is filled with a subtle, understated fragrance, yet it seeps into the heart like silk threads, lingering there. It is like the gentle and graceful demeanor of a young woman in her boudoir, quietly settling with time and exuding a unique and captivating charm.

Lady Zhu took out the reward money that Li Qiye had given her that day.

"Little Qiye, this is your reward for telling stories today."

"Thirty-five taels of gold and fifty taels of silver!"

After receiving the money, Li Qiye only took fifteen taels of gold. Of the remaining twenty-five taels, ten taels and fifty taels were given to Lady Zhu, and ten taels were given to the girls of the Jiaofangsi (a type of entertainment venue).

"Your Highness, these are for you, and you can give these to the girls as well."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your past care and assistance."

Lady Zhu chuckled after hearing this.

"I'll accept the gifts for the girls on their behalf, thank you Xiao Qiye. As for mine, are you treating Your Highness like an outsider?"

Li Qiye scratched his head.

"Your Majesty has been too kind to me; I feel so indebted to you."

"I don't know how to repay you."

Lady Zhu raised her eyebrows and whispered to Li Qiye.

"If Xiao Qiye wants to repay the favor, then dare you not go back today?"

! ! ! !

Li Qiye's head was struck by a thunderclap.

Sure enough, Lady Zhu had always coveted his good looks.
