3040 A Beautiful Woman In Red Feng Jiu sat down and listened to the lovely sound of the guqin from the round stage in the centre. She had the impression that the guqin’s sound was like a pearl tinkling against a jade plate. Even though she couldn’t see the woman playing the guqin, the beautiful and moving sound of the instrument helped her imagine how beautiful the woman was. The entire building was filled with thousands of people, but no one made a sound. Even when people were speaking, they kept their voices low. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺 While listening to the guqin and watching the scene inside the building, Feng Jiu couldn’t help but exclaim, “This venue is excellent.” With beauty to appreciate and such exquisite music, even though there were many people present, the atmosphere here was excellent. There was no commotion or noise, so it was a good place to unwind. “Let me tell you, if one is selected as the first beauty in the Beauty Pavilion, word will spread far and wide.” Wanyan Shisan motioned for her to follow and take her to the other side because the appraisal had not yet begun and there was only the pavilion’s beauty playing the guqin. “Take a look. On them are written the names of the city, the daughter of which family or the woman from the Beauty Pavilion selected as the first beauty. After these beauties were known, many influential and aristocratic suitors will arrive to propose marriage. It can be said that even princes and titled nobility will seek them out once they gain a reputation for their beauty.” Feng Jiu smiled and remarked, “It’s no wonder so many women competing to be the first.” “Haha, but I think you can definitely win first place if you participate.” He winked at her. “What do you think? Why don’t I sign you up?” “I am not interested.” She shook her head, clearly uninterested in such appraisals. “This appraisal considers not only beauty but also talent, strength, and wisdom. Let’s go! It should start soon. Many people have signed up, but not everyone can appear on stage. Those who can go on stage to be appraised are truly exceptional.” While he was talking, he and Feng Jiu walked back to their seats in the front. The talent competition started when the beauties took the stage. The two of them sat in the audience, listening and watching the performance, and the only thing that came to mind was how visually appealing, elegant, and charming the women on the round stage were. They completely covered their faces with a veil, and their clothes were invisible. Only their silhouettes could be seen. Nonetheless, they had enthralled everyone in the building. The two tigers were resting in Feng Jiu’s arms. While the audience watched the rest of the performance, the song and dance began to play, the stage’s lighting changed, and the building’s lights dimmed, focusing everyone’s eyes and attention on the round stage. The tiger beast lying in Feng Jiu’s arms whispered as it observed the eight women from the Beauty Pavilion dancing on stage in red gauze dresses. “This human is not good-looking. I came across a beautiful woman in red unconscious in the forest. She’s far more attractive than the women on stage.” When Feng Jiu and Wanyan Shisan heard this, they were startled. They looked at each other, then turned to look at the two tigers that were lying in Feng Jiu’s arms. “What did you say?” “In the forest! A beautiful woman in red was badly injured and unconscious some time ago. That one was breathtakingly beautiful.” The male tiger murmured. Wanyan Shisan’s heart was pounding. He looked at Feng Jiu and signalled her to ask for more information. Feng Jiu asked right away, without waiting for his signal. “What happened to that beautiful woman in red later on? Why did you bring it up? Don’t you know that we’re searching for someone?” They assumed the clue ended there, but this tiger unexpectedly knew.
