Chapter 278 Ye Huli's Attempt to Appreciate Opera
Under the light of the streetlights, Ye Nanxiao slowly floated to the front of a semi-circular classical building.
He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and checked the address against the road sign.
"It's semi-circular, like a vertically sliced egg, with a large circle on top. Judging from its appearance, this must be the place Number One was referring to," Ye Nanxiao muttered, then glanced at the sky and checked the time.
Behind Ye Nanxiao, Feng Shiyi, along with Feng Shier and Feng Shiwu, followed at a distance.
"Twelve, is the address given by Salty Fish No. 1 correct? This is the address of the opera house that Her Highness arranged, right?" Feng Shiyi asked, arms crossed.
Feng Shiwu adjusted his glasses and said, "Based on the address given by Number One, and with Number One's detailed description, the place the boss found is correct, even more accurate than the map we provided."
"So even clones understand the original body?" Feng Shiyi recalled the description written by Xiao Ye No. 1.
"Sister, shall we just wait here?" Feng Twelve asked, raising her hand.
Feng Shi nodded slightly.
"But I made plans to have hot pot with Fourteen tonight," Feng Twelve said, rubbing her belly with a hopeful expression.
"Twelfth Sister, the recent physical test results show that your weight has exceeded the prescribed weight by more than double, and you've started to slack off in your training. If this continues..." Feng Shiwu pushed up her glasses, reflecting a cold light.
Feng Shier's initial grumbling vanished instantly, and she glanced cautiously at Feng Shiyi.
Seemingly noticing Feng Shier's gaze, Feng Shiyi said calmly, "You're not allowed to eat late-night snacks or sweets this month, and all afternoon treats are canceled!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Twelve was struck dumb, her face turning ashen, utterly despondent.
"That's so unfair! But it seems I could mooch a bite of Boss No. 1's afternoon tea!" Feng Twelve bit her finger, already eyeing Xiao Ye's afternoon tea at Boss No. 1.
After Ye Nanxiao looked up and counted the stars for a while, a magnificent carriage came to a steady stop in front of him.
He glanced at the two spirit beasts pulling the cart. The Fire Cloud Horse was docile and one of the spirit beasts tamed by the Star Luo royal family.
The two fiery cloud horses looked at Ye Nanxiao curiously, and the one that was closest to Ye Nanxiao even stretched its neck to get close to his face.
The carriage door opened, and Xu Jiu Jiu slowly stepped down.
The plain white dress with pale gold patterns perfectly accentuated her slender waist and outlined her figure. Her long hair was neatly combed, and her delicate face was fair and flawless, with a pair of starry eyes that sparkled with a faint starlight.
"Sorry, Nanxiao, have you been waiting long? Huoyunma hasn't been out for a while and has become a bit lazy," Xu Jiujiu said apologetically.
"It's nothing, I just arrived. Your Fire Cloud Horse is quite fat." Ye Nanxiao said, staring at the Fire Cloud Horse's somewhat protruding belly.
"That's true. Carriages are a tradition in the royal family, but they're not commonly used now. They're mainly used on formal occasions. Plus, the grooms really love the Fire Cloud Horse, so their training has become a bit more relaxed," Xu Jiujiu explained.
Ye Nanxiao nodded and turned to enter the opera house.
A pair of soft little hands took his arm. Ye Nanxiao was slightly taken aback, and then he saw a smile that lasted for a long time.
"Let's go. This opera house has a long history, and it will take some time to walk in." Xu Jiujiu tightened her grip on Ye Nanxiao's arms slightly.
Feeling the soft impact, Ye Nanxiao's lips twitched. He used a little force but found that he couldn't pull his arm out.
Sensing Ye Nanxiao's slight struggle, she leaned close to his ear and whispered, "This is royal etiquette, don't overthink it."
Hearing a warm breath in his ear, Ye Nanxiao suddenly realized that, in some ways, Xu Jiujiu was comparable to the Little Poison Girl.
Silently reciting the Ice Heart Mantra, Ye Nanxiao circulated the Frozen Flower, clearing his mind of distractions.
Fortunately, Xu Jiujiu only teased Ye Nanxiao slightly before stopping and silently tightening her grip on his arm.
Xu Jiujiu led Ye Nanxiao into a room. One wall of the room was a huge floor-to-ceiling window, and the entire stage was right across from it.
Ye Nanxiao glanced around and found that the lights were on in the other rooms, and figures were standing by the windows.
Sitting on the soft sofa, Ye Nanxiao consciously sat in the middle, while Xu Jiujiu sat down next to him.
"Are the guests in the other rooms all members of the royal family?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
After a long pause, he nodded and said, "There are members of the royal family, as well as their friends, such as nobles who have a good relationship with them. As long as the members of the royal family are willing, they can bring people in."
No sooner had he finished speaking than there was a knock on the door.
In the last room, Feng Shiyi lay on the soft sofa, her head resting on Feng Shier's fleshy thighs, enjoying her leisurely time.
Standing by the window, Feng Shiwu spoke up, "My two elder sisters, I saw Prince Yongwu walking towards the boss's room. Prince Yongwu is one of the princess's devoted suitors."
"The son of the Valiant Earl? It's fine, as long as it's not a duke's son causing trouble. I even suspect that before the boss can react, Her Highness the Princess will have already taken care of him. We're just here to step in when the boss messes up," Feng Shiyi said lazily.
Inside the room, he stared for a long time at a girl standing at the door, who immediately understood.
The girl walked to the door and slightly opened it.
A tall, handsome young man stood smiling at the door.
Upon seeing the young woman, the young man asked, "Is Her Highness the Princess inside?"
The young woman bowed to the young man and said, "Her Highness the Princess is currently with her friends preparing to enjoy an opera. Your Highness, please return."
"A friend?" The valiant prince frowned and glanced inside, but due to the room's layout, he couldn't see anything.
"A friend of Her Highness the Princess? Who is it?" the valiant prince asked.
The girl lowered her head and remained silent.
"Could it be that the rumors were true? Princess Jiu Jiu has already found someone she loves? No! I must see the princess!" The valiant prince muttered to himself, about to step inside.
The girl, abandoning her previous quiet demeanor, drew her long sword and instantly stood in front of the valiant prince.
"Young master, Her Highness the princess's affairs are of utmost importance. Your behavior is not only an attempt to offend Her Highness, but also a serious breach of etiquette! Please leave immediately!" The girl's eyes widened in anger, and a series of soft metallic sounds rang out from her body.
The valiant prince was startled by the oncoming sword light and took a few steps back. After hearing the girl's words, his face instantly darkened.
"You dare to stop me?" the valiant prince shouted in a deep voice.
Inside the room, Ye Nanxiao's ears twitched slightly. He turned to look at the doorway and said, "It seems someone is eager to see you."
"Who's there? Is there anyone else here besides you and me?" Xu Jiujiu leaned closer to Ye Nanxiao and pointed to the French windows, saying, "The opera is starting."
The melodious music began, instantly drowning out the faint sounds coming from the doorway, and Ye Nanxiao's attention was drawn to the opera.
Two figures, a man and a woman, appeared on the stage and began to tell their story, accompanied by soft background music.
After a long while, he made a gesture to another girl standing at the door. The girl immediately understood and dimmed the lights in the room.
The opera was also commissioned long ago, and it tells a touching love story.
"This is a story that has moved countless noble girls. When the atmosphere is right, get closer, get closer, hehehe~" Xu Jiujiu proudly raised her little head.
Looking at the outfits of the man and woman on the stage, Ye Nanxiao suddenly felt that they looked familiar. Why did they seem to resemble his own outfit?
At that moment, Ye Nanxiao suddenly had a bad feeling.
The girl who had been standing at the door quickly walked behind Xu Jiujiu, leaned down and whispered a few words in Xu Jiujiu's ear.
Xu Jiujiu's expression faltered for a moment before returning to normal.
"Maintain order in the venue and don't let 'overly enthusiastic' fans disrupt the opera performance," Xu Jiujiu said coldly.
The girl accepted the order and left.
Ye Nanxiao turned his head, about to ask if it was the person from the doorway earlier.
After a long while, she placed a finger to her red lips and whispered, "This is a famous opera from Xingluo, let's enjoy it!"
Seeing that Xu Jiujiu was unwilling to say more, Ye Nanxiao nodded and continued watching the opera.
This opera reminded Ye Nanxiao of the feeling of watching movies in his previous life, and for a moment his attention was focused on the opera.
"Xiao'er, don't you think the man on stage looks somewhat similar to you?" Xue Di asked.
Through visual sharing, Xue Di and Ba Jiao are also watching the opera.
After Xue Di finished speaking, Bajiao nodded and said, "Judging from their attire, it's about 80% similar to Nan Xiao's usual style. Moreover, the female character's attire is also very similar to Princess Jiu Jiu's."
Bajiao pushed up his non-existent glasses and made the classic gesture of a perpetual elementary school student: "The truth is, these two are just acting out the love story of Nanxiao and Xujiujiu!"
After hearing Bajiao's words, Ye Nanxiao covered his face in helplessness, but before confirming it, he patiently continued watching the opera.
A soft little hand gripped Ye Nanxiao's shoulder and gradually moved towards his neck.
"Nanxiao, what do you think of this opera?" Xu Jiujiu asked softly.
"It's alright, isn't it?" Ye Nanxiao replied.
A hint of joy flashed in Xu Jiujiu's eyes. Just as the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass had guessed, Xu Jiujiu was the director of this opera story.
"What do you think of their love story? Will the man accept the woman's confession?" Xu Jiujiu asked.
Just as Ye Nanxiao was about to speak, the opera suddenly entered a tense scene. The male character on stage stepped forward, drew a deep blue longsword, and roared, "I am the Frost Sword Saint! Who dares to be so insolent!"
"No, I really don't think this opera is any good!" Ye Nanxiao said, his face full of exasperation.
