Chapter 171: The wonderful performance of the Monster Circus

Monster Circus.

The blue-haired dancer walked off the stage, comforted the excited children surrounding her with her six arms, and then walked straight toward Xia Mingyu.

"I have long admired your name, Sage. I am Helena, the dancer of the Monster Circus."

Helena lifted the skirt of her dance dress with her third pair of hands and performed an elegant curtsy. Her movements and posture were perfect, like flowing water.

"Sage, I have also heard of your good deeds, such as embracing the farmer's wife who lost her child, saving the coerced girl, etc. Thank you for treating those poor girls gently."

Helena said with a gentle expression. As a woman, she could imagine what kind of hell those girls lived in, so she naturally had a sense of respect for the Sage who saved them.

"I just did what I could," Xia Mingyu said calmly.

"Your dance is really beautiful," he praised sincerely.

"Although many people say so, your praise still makes me flattered," Helena smiled.

The corners of her lips lifted gently, like a cherry blossom just blooming, kissed by the spring breeze, spreading a shy arc.

"May I ask if you remember this?"

Xia Mingyu took off the bracelet on his wrist and placed it in his palm in front of Helena.

"This is..." Looking at the star ornament strung in the middle of the bracelet, a trace of surprise flashed in the blue-haired dancer's eyes.

She carefully picked up the bracelet, looked at the star ornament again and again, and finally asked with a tone of hesitation:

"I should have given this shape of ornament to a little golden-haired girl named Anliya. How did it end up in your hands, Sage?"

"It was brought by Anliya, who has become a beautiful girl like you. She asked me to tell you that on that day, you allowed a child to satisfy all her childhood fantasies," Xia Mingyu said softly.

Hearing this, Helena was stunned for a long time. After coming back to her senses, a bright smile appeared on her pretty face.

"At that time, I was also praised for my beauty by such a cute little girl for the first time. I was really happy that day," Helena replied with a light laugh while putting the bracelet back in its original place.

"Sage, are you interested in visiting the circus with me? I want to introduce my friends to you," the blue-haired dancer invited.

"I would be honored."

On one stage, the two heads of the two-headed giant were talking to each other, the adult head telling crude jokes, the child head speaking without taboo, and the little audience below laughing until they were leaning back and forth.

"To think he is even taller than Hagek Kesi!" Xia Mingyu, who witnessed this scene, was surprised, feeling that this circus was truly full of hidden talents.

With this body size, wouldn't he be a killing machine on the battlefield if he put on a set of custom-made heavy armor?

"The one on the left is Big Toby, and the one on the right is Little Toby," Helena introduced to him.

And the two-headed giant who was performing also noticed the blue-haired dancer under the stage. Big Toby's eyes lit up, and he said in an excited tone:

"Big Sister Helena, are you here to watch my performance too? I have recently conceived quite a few new jokes, and I can tell them to you."

Without waiting for Helena to answer, Big Toby spoke on his own.

"A little boy was cursed by a devil, and his family invited a priest to exorcise the devil."

"The priest said, 'Evil devil, leave the body of this poor little boy.'"

"The devil said, 'You go out first!'"

After speaking, Big Toby laughed out loud, while Helena showed an awkward but polite smile.

"Hello, Big Sister Helena, sister is beautiful."

Little Toby on the right bit his finger and showed a silly smile, saying in a muffled voice.

The smile on Helena's face became much more sincere, and she even nodded to the other party.

"Compared to Big Toby, I really like Little Toby more."

After leaving this stage, Helena whispered to Xia Mingyu.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo, everyone, be happy!"

On the next stage, there were iron wires connecting the ground to the top of the tent. The mouse girl led a group of white mice to run, jump, and slide on the thin iron wires while cheering with her arms open...

"Big Sister Helena!"

Seeing the blue-haired dancer, the mouse girl let out a happy exclamation. She couldn't care about the performance and jumped toward Helena's position.

The dancer spread her six slender arms like a spider and caught the mouse girl steadily.

"Big Sister~" The mouse girl rubbed Helena's face with her pink nose and said in a coquettish tone.

"This is Mia, a very good and cute child," Helena said with full doting.

"Indeed very cute." Xia Mingyu looked at the girl who looked like a large white Mickey Mouse and couldn't help but sigh at the magic in this world in his heart.

If it hadn't been mentioned in the book that there was no such race as rat-men among the orcs living in the ice desert, he would have really thought the other party was an orc and not a human.

"I like people who say I'm cute, and I also like gentle people like the leader."

Mia opened her arms toward Xia Mingyu, a look of expectation on her childish face.

She naturally recognized that the black-haired young man in front of her was the Sage the leader had been talking about these days.

Xia Mingyu would naturally not refuse the hug of a cute little girl, especially when the other party was a deformed person, so he walked over and hugged Mia gently.

It had to be said that the mouse girl's body was very soft, just like a large plush toy.

After a simple hug, Mia jumped across a distance of more than ten meters and returned to the stage to continue the performance amidst the children's laughter.

On the next stage, the snake-scaled boy covered in emerald scales stuck out his forked tongue, and his body turned into a stream of water as if he had no bones, passing through narrow fire hoops that were not even the size of an adult's head.

His performance was also wonderful, but because of his overly cold expression and the human nature of fearing snakes, there were only a few children under his stage who covered their eyes and only dared to peek.

"Big Sister..." Seeing Helena, the snake-scaled boy hesitated for a moment before squeezing out a sentence.

Helena smiled and nodded, then took Xia Mingyu away from here.

"He is Xifu. Although he looks fierce, he is actually very shy," Helena whispered again.

Swish, swish, swish!

Before the two had walked far, they saw the lights at the top of the tent go out one by one, and darkness instantly shrouded the entire circus.

"The leader's performance, the final program, is about to begin," Helena explained, pulling Xia Mingyu's sleeve.

Swish!

The next moment, before the children could panic, all the lights turned on again, but the light emitted seemed to be artificially controlled, and all of it was gathered on the largest stage in the center of the tent.

Under the expectant gaze of all the children, petals scattered from all directions, gradually gathering into a figure—the magician.
