Chapter 1475: Dance

"Actually, there's no need to specifically put on makeup. To me, Miss Bernice is the most beautiful without makeup." Xia De stood at the office door and said, thinking in his heart that he actually wanted to go back early to accompany Luvia.

"Xia De, if you want to praise Vanessa, it's best to say it to her, not to me." Hillis sat behind the desk and said with a smile:

"Don't delay time, go down and wait quickly." "What exactly is Miss Bernice going to perform?"

Xia De asked curiously, and Hillis pretended to "reprimand" and said:

"Knight, don't you know that a lady with secrets is the most beautiful lady?"

Xia De's body trembled, which was a natural reaction. Only then did he remember that this was what 【Desire】 said outside the Osenfort Manor. "Secrets... I see."

"But I can tell you secretly, this is a performance Vanessa has never done before." Hillis winked at him:

"You must appreciate it well."

A city-level grand opera house like the Wang Erde Opera House usually performs until near midnight. But Miss Bernice coordinated the sessions in advance, leaving the No. 3 performance hall empty for the whole night, specifically for Xia De's performance.

The No. 3 performance hall was also a larger performance hall in the Wang Erde Opera House. Although this performance hall had no boxes, the audience seats were divided into two levels, totaling 1059 seats.

When Xia De walked from the back to the front row of the audience seats along the aisle between the empty seats, the red curtain of the stage was in a raised state. The opera house was soundproofed well, and it was quiet all around. After sitting down, looking at the empty seats around, he was still sighing that this opportunity to watch Miss Vanessa-Bernice's performance alone would probably be hard to come by in the future.

Sitting here alone, time seemed to become very slow. But when the time reached nine o'clock, with a soft sound of "bang~", it interrupted Xia De's thoughts very punctually. The bright lights above the audience seats in the performance hall disappeared one by one from back to front. The darkness only lasted for a few dozen seconds, and then behind that red curtain, the first light appeared.

"It's starting!"

Xia De sat down holding the armrest. He originally thought it would be a female solo again, but when the sound of the small drum came out with the curtain opening, he knew he was wrong.

The stage behind the curtain was decorated to look like the spring in the valley forest. The stage background even laid a blue silk ribbon to represent the river.

And the only actor on the stage, the lady who walked out with the drum beat, was wearing a blue and white navel-baring top. On the tightly bound bra, beautiful colored gemstones and colorful small beads were embroidered. Around the waist was a wavy hip belt inlaid with gold and silver sequins. Below was a pearl bead chain, colorful bead chain, and gold piece chain hanging down like waves around the waist. That belt was attached to a sky-blue low-waisted skirt. Under the skirt were legs without any wrapping except for a few gold accessories and completely bare feet.

Xia De took a deep breath and leaned his upper body back slightly until his back was completely against the back of the chair: "My Little Mia~"

The drum beat became clearer, and the golden-haired dancer, who turned in place and crossed her slender legs together, also stretched out her arms as flexible as white snakes, and under the stage lights, started tonight's performance.

Her smooth, loose hair swayed as she spun. On her forehead was a green teardrop-shaped gemstone. Although wearing a light veil, while her body danced with the drum beat, the golden-and-green eyes behind the veil could still throw flirtatious glances at Xia De, as if they could pull his soul.

Two arms crossed together, shaking her body while stretching forward. Ten fingers wore six gemstone rings of various colors, the left hand had two gold bracelets, and the right hand had three silver bracelets. On the fair and slender neck that the short top could not cover at all, three gold necklaces collided with each other. In that light and pleasant drum beat, the waist chain, ankle chain, and hand chain collided with each other as she danced, creating music that made the heart beat faster.

She hung as many of these clinking accessories on her body as possible, so that when she swayed her hips and abdomen with the ever-changing fast rhythm, the sounds themselves became

a part of the music.

These accessories, symbolizing wealth and power, were not vulgar, but pushed the atmosphere at this moment to another peak.

Even without any fabric attached, the slender legs were more seductive than Miss Sylvia's "invention." The pomegranate and ruby-colored oil applied to the nails of her light feet added a touch of charm as she danced.

Tapping, twisting the waist, swaying the hips, palms lightly hitting the belly, which was not large because of the slender waist. A circle of small rubies was dotted around the navel, and what was embedded in the navel was a flawless diamond sparkling in the light.

The dance was sacred and enchanting, the figure mysterious and charming.

Even the well-informed Outlander felt that his brain was completely filled by this scene in front of him during that short twenty minutes. Every sway, every turn of the golden-haired dancer, every light tap of her bare feet on the ground, prevented him from thinking about anything unrelated to this moment.

He forgot the time, forgot his location at this moment, and even for a while forgot to breathe.

"She" surprisingly did not disturb Xia De when he was lost, and he devoted himself as an audience to the wonderful dance on the stage.

When the drum beat stopped, the slightly panting dancer crossed her legs, turned around for the last time, leaned back, and threw a flirtatious glance at the only audience to say goodbye, only then did Xia De finally feel that his eyes were so sore.

【Remember to blink next time.】

But Xia De had no heart to argue with "Her" now: "This is really great!"

While blinking, he gasped and stood up to applaud, unable to think of any words of praise to praise the dance he just saw.

He completely understood why Vanessa-Bernice was called the most excellent actress of this era. Even if only he saw this performance, he completely understood the meaning represented by the name "Vanessa-Bernice."

It's just that the performance was not over yet. While Xia De stood up to applaud, the sound of the drum and bells sounded again, and the dancer, who kept her legs crossed, back to the audience, and leaning back, also shook the metal on her hand bracelets again. After she got up with this high-difficulty movement, she smiled, bent over and retreated with small steps, while waving to the only audience under the stage.

【Why don't you go quickly?】

"She" urged like a whisper, the voice was unusually gentle, so much so that Xia De really thought that there was a silver-haired girl leaning over behind him and whispering softly.

Thus, Xia De climbed onto the stage clumsily from the front. The drum beat and bell sound were more pleasant and cheerful at this moment. The golden-haired dancer walked over with enthusiastic small steps, held Xia De's hand, and danced with him to the beat of the music and the clinking sound of metal colliding on her body.

Or rather, it was her circling Xia De to continue that sacred and enchanting dance.

At the moment of stepping onto the stage, Xia De finally noticed the traces of the maze. But before he could figure out what effect this maze had, he was lost in the music and dance again.

Clearly, there was one more person like Xia De who was not good at dancing on the stage, but the atmosphere on the stage was not affected at all. Because this stage belonged to Vanessa-Bernice, and she was in charge of everything here.

Palms lightly hitting the belly, while the metal on the wrists collided, the palms also made a dull but crisp sound. The figure swaying around Xia De was like a witch in ancient mythology praying to the gods for good weather and prosperity of the tribe.

Only until this moment did Xia De realize that the kind of dance he was watching was originally using physical movements to depict the endless cycle of nature and human reproduction, and was originally for celebrating women's fertility and praising the mystery of life.

Bare feet touching the ground was to maintain contact with the land, and the exposed abdomen symbolized pregnancy and life.

I don't know when, Xia De found that he was actually being held by the golden-haired dancer, spinning under the lights of the stage set. She swayed her body, intimately approaching Xia De's chest. The tightly bound upper body was close to Xia De's body, and the eyes rippling with smiles looked at Xia De's eyes through the light veil.

There was a strange drum beat with a fast rhythm but completely different from the mainstream music of this era, as if it were directly carved into Xia De's mind. And those golden-and-green eyes would presumably appear in his dreams from time to time in the coming period.

It's just that no matter how good the performance is, there will always be an end.

When the drum beat stopped, the slightly panting Vanessa-Bernice had her right hand held by Xia De's left hand, and her left hand held by Xia De's right hand, like soft silk, with her arms crossed and leaning back in his arms.

Xia De also gradually walked out of the psychedelic dance, and then realized that he was also gasping for air. He even noticed that his heart was beating with a startling speed, so much so that he was worried whether the dancer in front of his chest would feel uncomfortable because of this.

"Xia De Sulun Hamilton..."

Looking up and back, there was a tender and charming soul in the witch's eyes, and the fiery emotion in her trembling voice could almost melt steel. She stared closely at his eyes, and while her eyelashes trembled in the light, she asked softly:

"Can you, remember me forever?"

Xia De, who had come back to his senses, moved his Adam's apple, and then lowered his head slowly. The dancer, whose skin was hot due to the intense dance steps and whose whole body was soaked in sweat, also closed her eyes. As the curtain slowly closed from both sides toward the center, he kissed her on the stage. ===== CHAPTER 1476 =====

Coming back to his senses, Xia De swallowed hard, then slowly lowered his head. The dancer, whose skin was burning hot from the intense dance steps and whose entire body was drenched in sweat, also closed her eyes. As the curtain slowly closed from both sides toward the center, he kissed her on the stage.
