There was no way through Liufang Restaurant. There were even some people who went up to the roof to tear down the roof just to catch a glimpse of the beauty's grace, or perhaps, for the sake of seeing the empress's true appearance.

Right now, the empress that they were yearning for was sitting safely in a booth upstairs. Separated by a beaded curtain made of fine onyx and jade, she watched everything that happened downstairs.

Bai Feiyue wore a pure-white dress embroidered with peony flowers. A pink belt with a white background hung from his waist. His sleeves were slightly open and the blood jade around his wrist was faintly discernible. Her face was covered in makeup and her smooth black hair was parted to form two strands. One of the strands was a flying bun, while the other almost fell to the ground. The soft, white, and exquisite items were adorned with an exquisite and clear chain of lumps. She was magnificent and elegant.

This interval was specially designed when the Flowing Mist Pavilion was first built. The people upstairs could clearly see what was happening below, while those below could barely see this interval. Such a unique design was truly ingenious.

Bai Feiyue pursed her lips into a silent smile as her gaze swept across the corners of the room. She saw a servant girl standing at each corner, her head lowered without uttering a word, as if she was waiting for a summons. The room was completely empty.

The bell tolled at ten o'clock, and the voice of the master of ceremonies on the stage rang out with the tolling of the bell.

"My daughter Long Yu greets you all."

On the arena stage, Jade stood in the center of the stage, wearing a bright yellow sunflower corset. The osmanthus flowers scattered around in the middle of the dress were in full bloom, covering a thin orange yarn that dragged along the floor, the cuffs of the collar and sleeves were all put away with golden threads, and a white ribbon tightly wrapped around her waist, fluttering behind her back. Her face was elegant and beautiful, which made people's eyes light up.

Jade was the previous champion of the Muse Competition. After becoming the champion, she didn't try to find a way out for herself like the other champions did. Instead, she stayed in Fragrance City and became the Muse's mentor.

Speaking of this, Mo Yan was the one who brought out this jade. She might have been influenced by Mo Yan if she stayed behind as a muse or coach.

Bai Feiyue's lips curled up into a smile as he looked at her jade-like face. If he were to tell her that her beloved Big Sister Mo Yan had been harmed by Yu QianXun, her expression would probably be very interesting.

Jade slowly bowed in front of her, and then her voice that was as light and gentle as water slowly came out: "The Muse Competition in Huoxiang City has been going on for thirteen years, and this is the fourteenth year. In these fourteen years, we have produced a total of thirteen Muse Kings, and today, the fourteenth one will stand out! Jade hopes that this year's chief executive will be able to truly pass on through the ages! "

A thunderous round of applause.

Below Liufang's floor, in an inconspicuous place.

A man in black robes sat on one side while four men in green robes with unpredictable techniques stood around him. The black robed man closed the teacup and lightly sipped on it after blowing on it. Then, his pretty sword-like eyebrows gently raised. A trace of indiscernible anger flashed across his eyes that were as black as ink. "Fragrant City's tea this time …" He was actually not much weaker than the palace …

The man who had been hiding behind him suddenly appeared. He slightly bent his body and asked, "Mistress, is the tea not right?"

The man in black put down the teacup. His jade-like face became increasingly beautiful under the contrast of the lights. Wasn't this the Yu Chen Lake?

"If there's nothing else, go and investigate where you bought the tea leaves from Liufang Restaurant."

After he finished speaking, he was already focused on the arena.

Foley answered with a "Yes" and disappeared back into the darkness. Very few people knew that Yu Chen Ze's Fu Lai was actually a dark guard, the head of the dark guards.

At the moment, the Muse Competition was in full swing. Peerless beauties appeared one after another on stage before ending the match. They were like spinning lanterns, beautiful and dazzling, but they would eventually burn out.

Bai Feiyue counted the time in his heart. One second, two seconds, one minute, two minutes …

Soon, the nineteenth contestant, a seductive woman, appeared. She bowed to the front of the contestant, clad only in a crimson sleeveless dress. Her black hair stood up high, revealing her slender and beautiful figure. A light red spot appeared on her forehead. Her delicate eyebrows were like the beauty of a distant mountain, beautiful and dazzling.

"My daughter, Yun Ruo Wu, pays her respects to the lords."
