A King Summoner Travels Through the World of Ye Luoli

For the past few days, Cheng Jiajia has been staying in Lu Zhaoran's courtyard, pestering her to teach him magic. Lu Zhaoran got annoyed by the pestering and casually agreed. She would teach him when she had nothing to do, and when he left, she would tell him to go back and persuade his brother.

Finally... a month before the ten-year celebration, Cheng Jitang came to visit again.

This time he brought what Lu Zhaoran wanted.

"Mr. Cheng, it's a pleasure doing business with you."

“Miss Lu, if you can really help Luoque City overcome this crisis, then the entire Luoque City and I, Cheng Jitang, will obey Miss Lu’s orders.”

Cheng Jitang spoke very sincerely. He was just an ordinary person and was helpless against the killing intent coming from Luo Que. His only hope now was the person in front of him.

"Do your best."

"Do your best..." was the only definite promise Lu Zhaoran could give.

Facing a formidable opponent far superior to her, she had no idea whether she would live or die this time.

She wasn't even sure if 250 could revive her, nor was she sure that with such a disparity in strength, she might not even have the chance to actually use Taiyi's ultimate move; she might... die completely.

Are you afraid of death? Perhaps people are afraid when they think about death, but we are born to experience the process of living, not to study the feeling of dying. When people have their own pursuits, death will only bring unfulfilled regrets.

Lu Zhaoran put down his pen, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and felt peaceful and serene.

…………

A month later.

“Miss Lu, everything you asked me to do has been done. As for Miss Xingchen, I have already had her replace one of the dancers… I have also found an opportunity for you to attend this banquet in person. However… the fairies attending this banquet are all top-tier fairies, so you must be extremely careful.”

After Cheng Jitang finished speaking, he handed a maid's uniform to Lu Zhaoran.

"Well, thank you."

……

After changing into a maid's clothes, Lu Zhaoran entered the main venue of the banquet under Cheng Jitang's arrangement.

It was a banquet filled with singing, dancing, and laughter, yet for some reason, there was an inexplicable sense of unease about it.

The atmosphere in the grand hall was solemn and dignified. On the main seat sat Luo Que, his tall and imposing figure radiating an aura of awe. However, besides Luo Que, ten fairies also sat in the hall. These ten fairies were divided into six men and four women, each with their own unique characteristics: some were handsome and dashing, some were beautiful and charming, some possessed elegant bearing, and some were graceful and refined. Of course, more than these external appearances, what attracted Lu Zhaoran's attention was their strength.

So strong.

Perhaps her initial guess was too conservative.

They might already be experts at the hundred-star level, no, they might even be beings who have surpassed the hundred-star level.

The grand banquet commenced, with fine wines and delicacies adorning the tables. Guests raised their glasses in celebration, their laughter and chatter filling the air. Music filled the air, the melodies played by musicians adding to the joyous atmosphere. Both humans and immortals were immersed in this delightful ambiance, savoring the pleasure brought by the food and music.

The entire Nightfall Palace was created for this banquet.

In such a beautiful setting, no one would have imagined that behind this dreamlike celestial banquet lay countless deadly schemes.

Lu Zhaoran, dressed as a maid, stood behind the fairies in the high hall, holding a small table with a pot of wine on it.

"come here."

Lu Zhaoran, who was suddenly called out, naturally walked to the fairy's side, squatted down, and poured wine for her.

"The feng shui of Luoque City is truly nurturing."

These unexpected words did not affect Lu Zhaoran. She calmly poured the wine, and after finishing, she bowed slightly and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, pour me a glass too."

As Lu Zhaoran was leaving, a female immortal suddenly called out to her.

"Yes."

Lu Zhaoran responded softly and walked to her side, bending down to pour her a drink.

"Your eyebrows and eyes really resemble hers."

At this moment, Lu Zhaoran's face was covered by a light veil, revealing only her eyebrows and eyes. The fairy's words stirred a feeling in Lu Zhaoran's heart.

Is the "she" the fairy was referring to...?

"You two are really bored, making fun of a mere maid."

At this moment, another fairy spoke up, and her interruption finally gave Lu Zhaoran a chance to gracefully retreat.

The longer she stayed by their side, the more dangerous it became. After all, she was not an ordinary person; she possessed magic, and these fairies were far more powerful than her. She feared that they might notice her if she wasn't careful.

……

"Huh? Why did the music stop?"

For some reason, the music suddenly stopped.

"Please be patient, everyone. Our city of Luoque has prepared a special dance to welcome our distinguished guests. It is called the Starry Night Dance. Please enjoy it."

Cheng Jitang stood up and explained a few words. After he finished speaking, the entire palace went dark.

"Shh!"

A ray of moonlight suddenly pierced the night and descended upon the circular platform in the very center of the palace.

The melodious and lingering music rose slowly from all around, creating a mysterious and elegant atmosphere.

The stage was shrouded in smoke, dreamlike and ethereal. In a fleeting moment, a girl in a pale blue dance dress appeared there. Her figure was as light as a ghost, as if she had stepped out of a dream.

The girl's dance dress shimmered with starlight, as if she were wearing a galaxy, sparkling with dazzling light. Every spin and movement exuded a captivating radiance, leaving everyone mesmerized.

"Ding~" A clear and melodious sound rang out as the chime bells were gently struck, producing a crisp tone. With this sound, more beams of light shone onto the stage, illuminating the surrounding environment. At the same time, a group of girls dressed in identical costumes appeared on the stage, their movements perfectly synchronized with the rhythm of the chime bells.

These girls are like stars in the night sky, each shining with their own unique light, yet complementing each other to create a beautiful scene. If the Night Palace is the moonlit night sky, then they are those dazzling stars, together adorning this dreamlike world.

This dance, like fine wine, intoxicated both humans and immortals in the hall.

Lu Zhaoran lowered her eyes, looking at the rising mist. She knew that Luo Que... had made his move.

1……2……3……4……He wanted to kill these four fairies.

'The Starry Dance can induce hallucinations and gather power.'

As Xingchen's words echoed in his mind, Lu Zhaoran thought to himself that Luo Que had gone to great lengths to kill them.

Setting up an array wasn't enough; they also needed to add the hallucinogenic Luo Que dance and the smoke covering the ground to confuse them. It was truly like locking a safe—double insurance.

Unfortunately, her arrival was too opportune; with her there, Luo Que's plan could only succeed halfway.

Half injured, half spared. That was Lu Zhaoran's plan.

She can't compete with them, so let them fight amongst themselves.

Let's fight! Let's fight!

The more the fairies in the high hall fight to the death, the safer the people of the city will be.
