Chapter 171 Dance Fight
Chapter 171 Dance Fight
After a fierce battle, Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan led the villagers to successfully repel the bandit soldiers.
Beitun Village has returned to its former tranquility, with a faint scent of grass and earth filling the air.
The villagers came out of their homes, their faces beaming with the joy of surviving a disaster.
Children laughed and played in the streets, while adults were busy cleaning up the mess and tidying up the village.
Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the land they had protected with their blood and sweat, their hearts filled with satisfaction.
As night fell, the herders of Beitun Village spontaneously organized a bonfire party.
The bonfire blazed brightly, illuminating the happy faces of everyone.
Everyone sat around the campfire, singing and laughing.
"Thank you, Miss Qiu and Brother Qi, you saved our Beitun Village!"
An elderly herdsman picked up a bowl of milk tea and respectfully handed it to Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan.
"Please drink this bowl of milk tea to express our gratitude."
Qiu Ziyue took the milk tea and said with a smile, "This is what we should do. As long as everyone is safe, that's all that matters."
She took a small sip, the warm milk tea sliding down her throat, bringing a sense of comfort.
Qi Yushuang and her family of three also came to the bonfire party. Qi Yushuang and Qiu Ziyue sat down side by side and talked quietly.
At Qiu Ziyue's suggestion, the Blood Fiend Sect disciples, including Xue Fu, also came to the bonfire party, drinking and eating meat, having a great time.
One disciple said to the Blood Talisman:
"From now on, let's follow Miss Qiu, okay? We'll have wine and meat, isn't that great?"
Another disciple also said:
“Yeah, we used to feel like zombies, but now we’re more like human beings.”
Blood Talisman says:
"We don't want to live anymore. We still have blood talismans on us. If we betray them, we're all doomed."
The disciples fell silent upon hearing this.
The villagers around were initially quite afraid of the Blood Fiend Sect disciples, but they saw that they respected Qiu Ziyue.
Villagers frequently cast envious glances and whispered among themselves about the changes Qiu Ziyue's arrival had brought to Beitun Village.
"Since Miss Qiu came, our Beitun Village has been given new hope."
A young villager exclaimed, "Miss Qiu is truly intelligent and brave, and she is also the most beautiful girl in our Beitun Village!"
This statement resonated with those around him, and everyone nodded in agreement.
Qiu Ziyue was a little embarrassed and quickly waved her hand, saying, "Not at all, everyone is too kind."
However, not everyone was happy with this praise.
A Turkic girl who was dancing heard this and her expression darkened slightly.
Her name is Aida, and she is a well-known dancer in the village, always known for her beauty and confidence.
Aida thought to herself:
"Why do you say Qiu Ziyue is the most beautiful girl? I am the most beautiful in Beitun Village!"
She decided to prove her abilities through dance.
So, Aida walked up to Qiu Ziyue, smiled slightly, and said:
"Miss Qiu, everyone praises you. I wonder if you are just as outstanding in dancing? How about we have a dance battle?"
The surrounding villagers stopped what they were doing and focused their attention on Qiu Ziyue and Ayida.
Qi Yushuang and her family of three also cast concerned glances their way.
Looking into Aida's sincere eyes, Qiu Ziyue knew that she was not provoking her maliciously, but rather it was a contest of pride.
However, Qiu Ziyue did not want to ruin this harmonious atmosphere because of a dance battle.
She said softly:
“Aida, actually I’m not very good at dancing, and…”
She paused briefly, gently touching her abdomen, and said, "I am currently pregnant and it is inconvenient for me to participate in such activities."
Upon hearing Qiu Ziyue's words, the villagers were surprised, but then responded with understanding and sympathy.
Although Aida was somewhat surprised, she still maintained a polite attitude and nodded.
Seeing Qiu Ziyue decline, Qi Yushuang stood up and smiled at Aida, saying:
"Since Miss Qiu is not available, how about I join you in a dance battle? I also love dancing and hope to have a friendly exchange with you."
Aida glanced at Qi Yushuang, a surge of fighting spirit rising within her.
She felt this was a great opportunity to showcase her dancing skills, so she readily agreed:
"Alright, let's put on a wonderful performance together!"
As the sounds of instruments such as the erhu filled the air, Aida began her dance.
Her dance was graceful and moving, full of the unique charm of Turkic dance.
Every movement seemed to tell a touching story.
The villagers exclaimed in admiration from time to time, and applause resounded.
Qi Yushuang was not to be outdone. She spun lightly, her dance steps agile and free, showcasing the gentleness and delicacy of the Jiangnan water towns.
Her every movement was fluid and natural, as if she were one with the campfire and the night breeze.
The villagers watched with rapt attention, cheers rising and falling.
The dance battle lasted for a while, with both women showcasing their unique charm.
In the end, Aida and Qi Yushuang stood side by side by the campfire, looking at each other with mutual respect.
“You danced so well, I learned a lot from you,” Aida said sincerely.
Qi Yushuang responded with a smile:
"You too, your dancing is absolutely captivating."
The villagers applauded and cheered for their wonderful performance.
Qi Yushuang walked to Qiu Ziyue's side and said to everyone with a smile:
"Actually, Miss Qiu is not bad at dancing."
The villagers all turned to look, their eyes filled with curiosity.
Qi Yushuang continued:
"It may be hard for people to imagine, but Miss Qiu is the champion of the Yangzhou Qin, Jian and Wushu Dance Competition. Her dancing skills are superb. I have sparred with her before and I admit defeat."
Upon hearing this, the villagers were in an uproar, all casting surprised glances at them.
Aida's eyes widened, filled with both surprise and admiration.
"Not only that, Miss Qiu is not only a skilled dancer, but also a first-rate musician and swordsman."
Qi Yushuang added:
"She claimed she couldn't dance to avoid creating disharmony in the village. We've been through a lot together, and she always puts everyone first."
After hearing Qi Yushuang's words, the villagers' emotions were ignited.
They all clamored for Qiu Ziyue to play the piano and dance to entertain them.
"Miss Qiu, please give us a performance!"
A villager shouted.
“Yes, we all want to see your musical skills and dance moves!” another villager chimed in.
Qiu Ziyue was deeply moved by everyone's enthusiasm.
She knew that these simple and honest villagers genuinely wanted to see her perform, and she couldn't bear to disappoint them.
Qiu Ziyue smiled slightly as she looked at Qi Yuxuan beside her.
Qi Yuxuan was looking at her with an admiring and devoted gaze, and then nodded.
Qiu Ziyue picked up a huqin from the side, gently plucked the strings, and the melodious sound of the huqin instantly filled the night sky.
Qi Yuxuan was very surprised and said to Qiu Ziyue:
"She's a female demon, she really is a female demon, she even knows this."
Qiu Ziyue smiled and said:
"What's wrong with you? This was taught to me by Master Chun. She not only taught me folk music, but also how to play instruments from the Western Regions. And she's even more amazing."
"And we'll also have some Western musical instruments from our country that you can play later."
"Wow, that's amazing, my female demon! Hurry up and play the music, the villagers can't wait!"
Qi Yuxuan blinked, his eyes full of doting affection.
Qiu Ziyue officially began playing the erhu, and the sound of the instrument seemed to tell an ancient story.
It is melodious and beautiful, as clear as flowing water, as if it brings people into a peaceful and beautiful world.
After the song ended, Qiu Ziyue stood up and handed the erhu to an old man, asking him to play it.
She began to dance gracefully to the sound of the erhu.
Her dance moves were light and graceful, each movement full of power and beauty.
Her sword dance was breathtaking; the sword light flashed like a shooting star streaking across the night sky.
The villagers watched with rapt attention, applause and cheers rising and falling.
Aida was also deeply moved by Qiu Ziyue's performance.
The resentment in my heart gradually dissipated, replaced by sincere admiration.
After the performance, Qiu Ziyue returned to the campfire with a faint smile on her face.
The villagers gathered around, expressing their gratitude and praise.
"Sister Qiu, you are amazing!"
A little girl held Qiu Ziyue's hand and said.
Aida stepped forward and said sincerely:
"Miss Qiu, your dancing and musical skills have captivated me. I am honored to meet you here."
Qiu Ziyue responded with a smile:
"Thank you for your recognition. We've been through so much together. Beitun Village is my home."
