Chapter 14: Dance!

As the prelude to “King Xuanyuan’s Charge into Battle” came to an end, it signaled the official start of the first section of the dance.

Following a melodious and beautiful opera-style voice in the background music, Su Yu’s dance steps began.

Her cloud sleeves swayed gently, her slender waist twisted slowly. Following the rhythm of the pipa in the background music, the girl in white, like a secluded orchid in an empty valley, paced lightly, her magnificent and beautiful dance steps intoxicating.

What Su Yu was portraying at this moment was none other than the famous courtesan girl in the bustling city of Yangzhou.

At this moment, even a professional dancer, upon seeing this section of Su Yu’s dance, would have to praise her for her graceful figure and perfect rhythm.

However, Su Yu was far from done!

Besides the beauty of form and rhythm, the most difficult thing to express in “King Xuanyuan’s Charge into Battle” was the “divine charm”!

As the music began to change its tune, Su Yu’s eyes flowed, gazing into the distance, her expression tinged with a hint of sorrow and regret, her eyes seemingly welling up with tears.

Why was the courtesan like this?

The reason was that a confidant of the courtesan girl was at this moment on his way to Yubei City with King Xuanyuan.

This battle, life and death were uncertain…

As the courtesan girl’s gaze looked into the distance, the style of “King Xuanyuan’s Charge into Battle” changed again. The originally elegant and magnificent style began to turn desolate and grim.

This also meant that the second section of the dance had officially begun.

The bianzhong and large drums sounded again, as if shifting the scene from the originally bustling Yangzhou City to the top of the city walls of the besieged Yubei City.

For Su Yu, in her current form, portraying the courtesan was naturally not a problem.

The difficulty lay in the next two sections, where she would have to portray the part of Yubei City and the climax of King Xuanyuan’s charge into battle, respectively.

This meant she had to seamlessly transition her style!

“Clang-wong-wong-wong!!!”

A simple, ancient bell chimed…

Su Yu performed a magnificent turn, and while her back was turned, she quickly tore off her cloud sleeves. Before the audience could react, she had changed into a set of black robes with gold threads, her expression turning serious and cold. At the same time, she raised a long sword, her expression as if pointing at a thousand-strong army.

On the other side.

Qin Xiao watched the extraordinary woman on the screen with utter shock.

He had thought that a dance streamer would, at most, just perform some modern, popular moves along with an ancient-style piece of music.

But he never expected…

The girl before him could actually dance the genuine “King Xuanyuan’s Charge into Battle”!

If the first section, the portrayal of the courtesan, had exceeded his expectations and amazed him…

Then the transition from the first section to the second was simply brilliant.

The simple, ancient bell in “King Xuanyuan’s Charge into Battle” was the striking of the great golden bell of Yubei City.

When the golden bell rings, the battle begins!

At the moment the golden bell rang, she instantly changed her attire…

What was most difficult was the change in expression. One second she was portraying a girl with flowing, charming eyes, gazing at her distant lover.

The next second, she was portraying the black-robed general defending the city!

Even professional dancers, when performing “King Xuanyuan’s Charge into Battle,” would mostly portray only one of the characters, but the girl before him, judging by her current appearance, was going to dance the entire piece by herself!

What made Qin Xiao realize it even later was that when he stared at the girl wielding the sword, he didn’t feel any discomfort at all.

Normally, his condition would prevent him from seeing women holding weapons…

But all of that was broken by this female streamer.

The second section of the song began.

The desolate and sorrowful music portrayed a Yubei City determined to fight a bloody battle to the death.

The dance continued.

At this moment, Su Yu was performing a sword dance, depicting the scene of the black-robed general of Yubei City bravely fighting the enemy.

But the style of the music gradually became bleak and mournful.

The isolated city of Yubei was in grave danger under the siege of the foreign tribes’ 100,000-strong army.

Once Yubei City fell, the foreign tribes’ cavalry could drive straight in, the central plains would have no natural defenses, and the entire land would be plunged into the flames of war.

The last part of the second section was the scene where the black-robed general finally collapses from exhaustion.

Based on her own understanding, Su Yu decided to use dance to create an extreme sense of crisis and despair.

The originally sharp and fluid sword dance gradually began to slow down, until she slowly fell. The death of the black-robed general also meant that Yubei City was in imminent danger.

Next came the climax of the entire “King Xuanyuan’s Charge into Battle.”

The third section!

At this desperate moment, King Xuanyuan led 800 cavalry, coordinated with the defending army of Yubei City, and finally defeated the foreign tribes!

The first two sections in Yangzhou City and Yubei City were all just buildup. The climax was King Xuanyuan’s charge into battle!

“Dong! Dong! Dong!”

In the background music, the war drums thundered. The sound of the drums, approaching from afar, brought the last hope to Yubei City and its people.

For Su Yu, there was originally a technical difficulty.

If she were to portray “King Xuanyuan’s Charge into Battle” by herself, at this moment she would have to transform from the fallen black-robed general into King Xuanyuan.

If she stood up directly, it would naturally be too abrupt, very uncoordinated, and also quite frightening…

However, Su Yu still thought of a solution.

After all, it was a live stream, not being watched in person.

Su Yu turned to her side, and from an angle invisible to the audience, she used the camera’s remote control to make the camera slowly move upwards, moving her lying form out of the frame.

This way, she had time to change her costume and then perform the climax of King Xuanyuan’s charge into battle.

“Hah!”

With a battle cry from the army formation, Su Yu had already finished changing her costume.

The camera also began to be readjusted by Su Yu, moving back down to continue filming.

At the same time, the increasingly loud war drums, the successive addition of various musical instruments, and the real-person chorus created a momentum that could swallow mountains and rivers.

On the other hand, Su Yu had also arrived at a type of music she was familiar with.

After all, portraying a courtesan was definitely not her forte…

In her past life, what she danced the most were those fast-paced, majestic dance steps. This was her specialty!

As the rhythm of the music became faster and faster.

Su Yu’s dance movements also became more and more rapid. Her clean and neat movements were so fast that it was hard for the eyes to keep up.

A large number of technical, professional movements were integrated by Su Yu into the final section of “King Xuanyuan’s Charge into Battle,” making the audience exclaim in delight.

What she was portraying was a brave and skilled King Xuanyuan, who feared not death. Knowing that Yubei City had a large foreign army, he still led 800 cavalry on a thousand-li ride to reinforce them.

All for the common people of the central plains!

Before the last drumbeat of the third section, Su Yu ended with a beautiful series of continuous aerial flips and beheading an enemy with one sword strike.

At this moment, the bullet comments in the live stream room had already exploded.

[Good!!!]

[So beautiful.]

[What kind of dance is this? How is the style so different from other female streamers in the live stream room? But I like it.]

[I was about to cry watching this. Although I don’t really understand it, I feel like it’s depicting a story.]

[The dance is so beautiful, and the music is beautiful too.]

[Wow, when the bell rang and she changed her costume in a second, I got goosebumps.]

[The movements in the last section were so cool.]

In the dim rental apartment.

Lianzi Ge, who had originally wanted to stir up trouble in Su Yu’s live stream room and make the streamer break down…

At this moment, he was completely dumbfounded.
