Chapter 2234: The Immense Pressure Faced by Sister Hei Shi

Within the Holy Wing Tavern of the first region.

The cheers of the audience were deafening.

“Moonlit Night, I love you!”

“Celestial Maiden Moonlit Night, I’ll be your lifelong fan!”

“Moonlit Night! Moonlit Night! Moonlit Night…”

The audience went wild after watching her performance—Solo Dance Under the Moon.

They had never witnessed such a beautiful and mesmerizing dance before. It was so holy, so beautiful, so fascinating, and so enchanting…

Not only the male spectators, but even the female spectators were marveling at her performance.

A barely discernible look of irritation flashed across the aloof woman’s eyes as she stood in the center of the stage and listened to the endless praise and applause. However, a beautiful smile remained on her face as she bowed slightly and left the stage.

After arriving in the backstage, she glanced at the only woman who could challenge her.

“Hei Shi… you look fairly unfamiliar. Where are you from?” The Heavenly Light Goddess wore an amiable smile, and it was as if she wanted to become friends with Hei Shi.

“Moonlit Night, you also look fairly unfamiliar. Where are you from?” Hei Shi was expressionless, and there was a faint hint of aloofness in her voice.

In fact, she had already heard about this person from Goddess Tina.

She was the Heavenly Light Goddess, a terrifying enemy who ruled over the Heavenly Light Power of the Tai Chu Continent.

Hei Shi was extremely curious about how powerful this enemy was. After all, this was an enemy who even Goddess Tina treated with great wariness. As a God of Creation Stage divine being, she was naturally proud and haughty. Like all other divine beings, she felt that she was the greatest in this heaven and earth.

More precisely, she didn’t believe that the Heavenly Light Goddess had the right to be viewed in such high regard by Goddess Tina. Hei Shi wished to witness the Heavenly Light Goddess’ true strength.

Of course, these were only her passing thoughts.

Moonlit Night smiled and remained silent.

Hei Shi didn’t press her for any answers.

Neither of them wanted to reveal any information about themselves, so they both fell into silence.

At this moment, the surrounding performers had already started to enthusiastically crowd over. Among them were some performers who hadn’t performed tonight but had kept a close eye on the performing main drawcards.

The icy expression instantly melted from Moonlit Night and Hei Shi’s beautiful faces. They became talented and gentle women who treated the other performers with warmth and friendliness.

Of course, this wasn’t their true nature.

If they could, they would definitely wear a cold and aloof expression to warn others to keep away.

So, why were they doing this? This was naturally to obtain the opportunity to enter the Library of Heavenly Books! They were waiting for these main drawcards to donate their opportunity, so their attitudes naturally couldn’t be too poor.

The voting results started to come in.

Hei Shi was slightly nervous. Of the sixty thousand votes, how many could she obtain?

The ordinary performers only received a pitiful number of votes. Generally speaking, they could only obtain several dozen or several hundred votes.

In fact, even the main drawcards could only receive one to two thousand votes. Upon seeing this, one could imagine just how many votes the two stunning beauties had attracted.

Even the main drawcard in third place had only received a miserly two thousand five hundred votes.

Hei Shi and Moonlit Night both turned their beautiful eyes to the giant screen in the center of the stage. This was the moment that victory would be decided!

“Next, we’ll reveal the performer who came second,” the host said with passion. “Three, two… one!”

On the stage.

The image of a stunningly beautiful woman from the Dark Wing Tribe appeared on the giant screen.

“Congratulations, Hei Shi! You’ve received a total of twenty-one thousand votes and won second place!” the host said with enthusiasm.

Hei Shi’s expression darkened upon seeing this.

Meanwhile, Moonlit Night raised her eyebrows and said in a cheery voice, “Congratulations, Hei Shi, you’ve come second…”

“Heh…” Hei Shi grimaced, and she really wanted to beat someone up.

“Please welcome trainee Hei Shi to the stage,” the host said.

The spectators cheered and squealed.

However, Hei Shi remained unmoving. No one knew what she was thinking.

“Hei Shi, it’s your turn to enter the stage!”

“Why are you spacing out?”

The performers beside her smiled as they urged her to enter the stage.

At this moment, the host’s voice traveled over to the backstage again. “Please welcome Hei Shi to the stage!”

Those who placed in the top ten all had to enter the stage. These were the rule. However, it was as if Hei Shi hadn’t heard the host’s words. Instead of walking over, she crossed her arms before her chest and started to observe the scenery outside.

“What’s going on? Hei Shi, what’s wrong?”

“Why aren’t you heading over?”

Some of the performers couldn’t help but urge her to walk over.

Hei Shi’s expression of deep thought suddenly transformed into a faint smile. She then turned around and said, “What’s the hurry? I’m feeling a little unwell, so just wait for a little longer.”

The performers were stunned. The woman before them was lively and full of vitality, and not a single part of her was unwell. Even if she wanted to fool them, couldn’t she make her act more convincing?

At this moment, Moonlit Night had already caught onto something. She frowned and said, “Hei Shi, are you trying to buy time?”

Hei Shi wore an aggrieved expression, saying, “Sister, how am I buying time? I genuinely feel unwell. Perhaps I exerted too much effort in my performance just then. Let me rest for a few minutes first…”

Moonlit Night gritted her teeth upon hearing Hei Shi’s blatant lie. She wanted to lash out, yet she forcefully suppressed her urge…

The host urged Hei Shi to enter the stage again, yet Hei Shi continued to delay with all kinds of excuses.

This messed up the entire rhythm of the final ceremony.

The performers didn’t know what Hei Shi was trying to achieve.

The host was completely baffled.

These two stunning beauties from the Dark Wing Tribe were the brightest stars of tonight, so neither one of them could be ignored. The audience was still eagerly waiting for both of them to stand on the stage together. However, Hei Shi suddenly started to blatantly mess with the ceremony at this moment, causing the host to become a little bewildered.

In the end, the White Emperor who was sitting in the center position of the stands interfered and said, “Hei Shi can’t go on stage because of some health issues. Let’s move onto the next segment.”

During this kind of unique circumstance, the White Emperor’s words were especially helpful.

Hei Shi pursed her lips and said, “Humph, there’s definitely something wrong with this White Emperor…”

“You’ve already wasted five minutes, so are you still not happy?” Moonlit Night’s expression was ice-cold as she glared at Hei Shi.

Hei Shi was extremely happy upon seeing Moonlit Night’s angry expression.

At this moment, Moonlit Night’s results were finally announced. She had received twenty-eight thousand votes, seven thousand more than Hei Shi! The difference wasn’t great, yet Hei Shi was still extremely displeased.

Although both of them had crushed the remaining main drawcards and received more than eight times the votes of the highest-scoring main drawcard… there was still another requirement to become a main drawcard. That was, one needed to win first place!

Hei Shi was very unhappy. She had failed her mission…

Meanwhile, the host was brimming with excitement as he said, “This is truly a sight not seen in one million years! Hei Shi has broken the Holy Wing Tavern’s record and become the first person to not become a main drawcard after receiving more than eight times the vote of the highest-scoring main drawcard!”

These words were like a dagger to Hei Shi’s heart.

Do you know how to speak?

Does this f*cking host know how to speak?!

Immediately afterward, the audience also started to cheer and shout.

It was clear that they also found this record extremely interesting. Some of them felt that this was a pity, yet they didn’t feel any misery or grief. After all, with Hei Shi’s immense talent, she could definitely become a main drawcard in the future. There was no need to overly dwell on tonight’s results.

Under the deafening cheers and applause of the audience, Moonlit Night successfully became a main drawcard of the Holy Wing Tavern. After being bestowed a floral wreath by the White Emperor, she started to walk toward the Library of Heavenly Books!
