Chapter 515
Accompanied by the melodious sounds of the qin and se, she wore the outfit she had meticulously prepared for that little tyrant, intending to wear it just for him. Every movement, every smile, tugged at the heartstrings.
No doubt about it.
She wasn’t the most striking beauty among the flowers, nor was she the most skilled performer, but her act was undoubtedly the one that could make everyone rise to their feet.
“Wow... so elegant just now, and now this vulgarity?”
“Such indecency, such indecency!”
“The Hehuan Sect is neither orthodox nor unorthodox; the sect is on the edge, and so are the people. If it gets any worse, I can’t bear to watch.”
“Hmph, hardly worthy of the grand stage!”
“Well then, why don’t you lend me your telescope?”
Those present, whether high-ranking officials or self-proclaimed gentlemen, found it hard to cope.
Yet, more often than not, they merely spoke of the act’s shortcomings while secretly stealing glances, telling themselves... it’s all about appreciating both elegance and vulgarity!
“Li Mo, let me clean your ears.”
Inside the carriage.
Seeing that little Li was staring seriously at the stage, Ying Bing squinted her bright eyes and pulled out an ear scoop from her big-headed doll.
Then she patted her thigh.
“Ah? Sure.”
Little Li seemed to snap back to reality, preparing to lie down.
He planned to rest his head on the icy lump of her long leg, facing outward, so she could clean his right ear.
“Let’s start with the left.”
Ying Bing said softly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Mo spun around at lightning speed, his face now against her flat abdomen.
He could see that, although little Li was trying hard to hold back, it was nearly impossible; his lips twitched more than a raucous hammer.
Ying Bing: “?”
The Cold Fairy realized.
When Tu Yan had invited Li Mo to watch the dance, he had shown no interest. How could he now be so captivated?
Perhaps he had only been using the Shenying Pearl to set the stage, but after she mentioned cleaning his ears, it was clearly intentional.
She had been careless and fell for the childish trick!
Now, not only was he resting on her fair leg, but his face was also directed at her abdomen, breathing in her scent with a sense of entitlement...
The breath seemed to pass through her light feathered robe and bird-patterned skirt, making her feel warm and unbearably ticklish...
“Don’t... don’t move.”
“Hmm?”
Li Mo had his eyes covered, completely pinned down on her long jade leg.
Feeling the smooth, supple touch against his face, with its astonishing elasticity, how could he possibly shift?
With such a fragrant allure, it was already a monumental effort to resist the urge to open his mouth wide and devour it!
“I’m not moving!”
“You are.” Ying Bing bit her lip, her fingers clutching the ear scoop curling up.
“Hmm... I’ll try, but you have to try too, Bing Tuozi.”
“Try what?”
“Try not to make me deaf at such a young age…”

Chapter 582: Delicious Treats
Tu Yan’s dance must have concluded, as applause erupted from all directions, cheers ringing out like they were on a caffeine high, and someone was whistling like a pro.
One could imagine that Tu Yan’s dance was breathtaking, transporting everyone to a season of blooming flowers.
Unfortunately, little Li didn’t see it, nor did he care to.
With his face buried in the Cold Fairy’s abdomen, his breath filled with her icy scent, a refreshing fragrance like orchids that seemed to linger in his heart, the more he inhaled, the more he became entranced...
Li Mo’s gaze grew a bit dazed.
He instinctively opened his mouth.
Ying Bing, quick as a flash, raised her hand and popped a grape into his mouth, blocking little Li’s wide-open maw.
“Li Mo, you’re hungry.”
“I’m not hungry.”
“Then do you want to be deaf at a young age?”
“.......”
“Switch sides; it’s time to... clean the right ear.”
Ying Bing’s cold face showed no expression, her legs slightly together.
“Okay.”
Then she saw Li Mo first stand up and sit on the other side next to her.
Though he had switched ears, his face was still directed at her abdomen.
Ying Bing: “?”
Moments later, the next performance began outside, featuring Lady Shen’s musical performance, which was nothing short of elegant and refined, making those not dressed in long robes feel embarrassed to sit there.
It was meant to cleanse the souls of those who had just watched Tu Yan’s dance.
A perfect blend of the refined and the vulgar.
But while the dignitaries under the canopy were purified, they weren’t completely cleansed.
“Don’t bite.”
“My mouth seems to have a mind of its own; I’ll try to control it!”
“Well, my hands have their own ideas too.”
“Ah... be gentle.”
Such exchanges echoed from within the carriage.
“??? ”
The crowd, who had just settled down, suddenly found the atmosphere oddly strange. What on earth were they doing?
They had been absent from the Flower Festival from start to finish.
In broad daylight, under the clear sky, right beneath the emperor’s feet!
Was anyone in charge? Where were the organizers?
Oh, the organizers were right inside the carriage. Well, that’s fine; a moment of patience would bring peace. Surely, at such a serious event, they wouldn’t dare to be too reckless...
But they were mistaken.
“Now it’s your turn to lie down.”
“I don’t need to...”
“Don’t worry, trust my skills. I taught them the full service at Fengyue Xiaozhu; you can relax.”
“Then you have to... go slow.”
“????”
Fengyue Xiaozhu’s skills? And a full service?
Those who caught snippets of the conversation leaned back slightly, their expressions akin to being run over by a cart.
Meanwhile, the plain carriage was tightly sealed, and what was happening inside was completely hidden, drawing everyone’s attention away from the performance.
It was one thing to sneak a bite of good food, but smacking one’s lips while eating was just too much!
At that moment, a blue-haired girl rushed over, her little eyes scanning for a long time before finally spotting the bronze carriage.
Lan Tian was quite recognizable, and many people recognized her.
She dashed to the carriage, knocked on the door, and upon seeing Li Mo cleaning Ying Bing’s ears inside, she finally sighed in relief.
“Gold... Gold Master, there’s trouble!”
Li Mo was taken aback, looking up at her. “What’s wrong?”
Ying Bing sighed in relief, softly saying, “Take your time.”
“I just remembered, my tide pearl can only be used once, and I already used it during yesterday’s rehearsal.”
Lan Tian’s face was filled with anxiety.
She was next in line, which meant she couldn’t perform normally.
“In such a short time, even if I had one, I couldn’t find it.”
Li Mo fell into deep thought.
He wasn’t sure if the system had provided feedback on this investment; even if it had, it would take time to find it.
But now, time was of the essence.
However, little Li was a genius; after a moment of contemplation, he came up with a solution:
“Lan Tian, you have a pretty good appetite, right?”
“Uh-huh.”
Lan Tian nodded, her expression confused, not understanding why Li Mo suddenly brought this up.
“Then you can go on stage and eat something, just describe the taste as if you were at home.”
“Can... can that work?”
“Absolutely! Hot pot and barbecue, eat as much as you want. It’s a food broadcast, and you can also promote the hot pot and barbecue restaurant I plan to open... I’ll guide you through the details.”
Food broadcasting was a concept far ahead of its time in the imperial capital, let alone in Beihai.
But once food was mentioned, Lan Tian, the foodie, lost her nervousness, her eyes sparkling, and she didn’t care whether it was feasible or not; after all, it was her Gold Master asking her to do it, so it couldn’t be wrong.
She stepped onto the stage and set up a hot pot and barbecue grill right there.
“Hey everyone, today we’re having spicy hot pot and barbecue.”
“Let’s start with some garlic; this dark one is sweet garlic, super delicious. I’ll have one first... yum—”
“??”
What on earth is this?
Not only were the people present confused, but even the announcer in purple robes was bewildered.
Wasn’t Lan Tian’s act supposed to be “Fishing for the Moon in the Water”?
He had just mentioned “fishing for the moon,” and the little girl was already eating?
To be fair, she was eating quite deliciously, practically a natural-born food broadcaster, dazzling the entire audience in the imperial capital.
The sound of people swallowing echoed from the audience, making everyone’s appetites grow.
“Bring in the food!”
The dignitaries under the canopy sent people to call for meals, and those from outside the city began to shift their focus to restaurants and eateries.
Everyone was planning to eat something.
Little Li was thinking the same. As those around him gradually started eating, he had just finished cleaning Ying Bing’s ears.
In truth, they were already spotless, and there was hardly anything to clean.
