My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband

Chapter 279: Gaining A Big Fan, Si Mingjing Goes Viral Again 2

Sheng Liangliang, the little princess, was sharing a video with someone. Ye Nianbai glanced at his sister’s virtual phone screen, where the chat nickname read: High Priest.

Who is the High Priest? Ye Nianbai didn’t recognize the name.

Sheng Liangliang spoke in a sweet, childlike voice, "The High Priest is super famous, you know! If Mom gets his approval, she could become famous overnight!"

In the Mu Continent, one person’s status was second only to the Dragon Clan: the High Priest. His artistic judgment held immense authority. Many dancers who loved to dance and aspired to perform the two dances from the Dragon Temple Murals sent their renditions to the High Priest. If they gained his approval, they could become famous overnight. On the Mu Continent, the High Priest’s evaluation carried as much authority as a pronouncement from the president of the world’s top university.

Coincidentally, Sheng Liangliang knew this High Priest. She was very much favored by him and even had his WeChat contact. Sheng Liangliang thought her mother danced so wonderfully that it would be a waste not to send the video to the High Priest, lest her mother’s genius for dance go unrecognized. So, her chubby little hands poked and prodded at the virtual keyboard on the phone, and she hit: "Send."

「」

Far away on the Mu Continent, the High Priest was currently admiring a video Bai Jiusi had posted on social media. He hadn’t planned to watch it, but people around him had recommended it. Social media was abuzz discussing Bai Jiusi’s performance of "Dragon Dance." They even suggested he invite Bai Jiusi to the Undersea World Interstellar Competition’s opening ceremony to perform on behalf of the Mu Continent and export its culture to the Undersea World.

The High Priest opened the trending video that had taken social media by storm. After watching it, he couldn’t help but marvel. As expected of the most esteemed woman of the Dragon Clan! She performed "Dragon Dance" with dazzling brilliance and utter perfection!

I absolutely have to invite Bai Jiusi to the opening ceremony! The world must see the splendor of the Mu Continent’s "Dragon Dance"! We need to export our culture to the entire Undersea World! he thought. As the foremost of the four undersea nations, the Mu Continent must not only win the championship at the competition but also lead decisively in cultural exports!

Just as the High Priest was about to contact Bai Jiusi, he suddenly received another video from Little Princess Liangliang.

The High Priest replied, "Little Princess Liangliang, what is this?"

Sheng Liangliang had sent a voice message, her sweet and soft, childlike voice cooing, "It’s something great! You’ll really miss out if you don’t watch! Someone has finally performed ’Heaven-Sent Auspiciousness’!"

How could anyone perform "Heaven-Sent Auspiciousness"? So many have tried to emulate it, but all their attempts were poor imitations! The High Priest simply did not believe Sheng Liangliang’s claim. But he still had to give face to the little princess, so he nonchalantly opened the video.

After watching for thirty seconds, his initially dismissive gaze grew serious. After sixty seconds, he was utterly captivated! As he continued to watch, he could no longer maintain his composure, his eyes reluctant to stray from the video.

Perfect! It’s simply too perfect! Stupendously brilliant! Truly breathtaking!

It was said there were two dances in the Dragon Temple. One was called "Dragon Dance," which Bai Jiusi’s performance had made a classic; the other, "Heaven-Sent Auspiciousness," had become an unsurpassable masterpiece for all dancers. Many dance enthusiasts tried to choreograph "Heaven-Sent Auspiciousness," but sadly, their performances failed to dazzle. "Heaven-Sent Auspiciousness" was simply too ethereal, giving one the feeling of seeing it, yet being unable to touch it.

Generation after generation, "Heaven-Sent Auspiciousness" had been known as a dance to bless the masses, carrying a sacred and lofty meaning. Yet, when dancers performed this dance with hearts full of reverence, their interpretations all seemed somewhat amiss, lacking the essential charm "Heaven-Sent Auspiciousness" ought to possess. What that charm truly was, not one in a thousand dancers could definitively say; there were as many interpretations as there were performers. Even the High Priest had yet to fathom it completely.

But upon seeing this dance, the High Priest suddenly clapped his forehead as if receiving a divine revelation. I understand now! It’s love! It’s deep love!

His attendant, curious, asked, "High Priest, what has excited you so?"

The High Priest was more than excited. He clasped his attendant’s arms, overwhelmed with joy, "I have finally grasped the essence that ’Heaven-Sent Auspiciousness’ should hold! This dance should not be choreographed with hearts of reverence and pity. To perform it, what’s needed is deep love!"

At this moment, the High Priest was suddenly lost in thought again. Is this truly a dance of blessings? No, this is not a dance of blessings! This is a dance of confession!

It is said that "Heaven-Sent Auspiciousness" was the last gift the Saintess, who saved the entire Mu Continent, left to its people. Each movement brimmed with her protective and compassionate heart for the people of the Mu Continent. Yet, if "Dragon Dance" was already enough to express these blessings, why add another dance in the end? Perhaps the Saintess hadn’t intended to offer another blessing, but wanted to perform for her beloved to see?

It was rumored that the Dragon Lady had a lover. When disaster struck, her lover wanted to take her away, yet she chose to stay behind to protect the populace. Rumor had it that at the moment of her demise, her lover held her, torn apart with grief. So that final dance... was it performed with a sense of apology and deep love, longing for her lover to see? This profound affection, misunderstood by people for thousands of years! Now, at last, someone has deciphered it!

Originally, the High Priest thought it would be a great pity for the cultural prestige of the Mu Continent if Bai Jiusi were not invited to perform "Dragon Dance" at this year’s international competition opening ceremony. But now, his thoughts had entirely changed. With "Heaven-Sent Auspiciousness" for comparison, "Dragon Dance" could no longer captivate me!

The High Priest sent a message to Sheng Liangliang: "Liangliang, Little Princess, who is the dancer in this performance? Why isn’t her face shown? Tell Uncle quickly, which genius is it?"

Sheng Liangliang’s reply came in her sweet, high-pitched, childlike voice, "Do you think it was danced well?"

The High Priest struggled to express his excitement. "Good! Of course, it’s good! Extremely good! Send me the original video quickly, and Uncle will give you candy!"

But Sheng Liangliang loved to keep him in suspense. "It’s a secret. This princess will tell you when I’m in a good mood."

The High Priest was not content to leave it at that; he persistently questioned her as if his life depended on it. Unfortunately, Sheng Liangliang, the little darling, simply wouldn’t reply.

The High Priest’s heart felt as if a million ants were crawling inside, making him restless day and night. Sheng Liangliang was such a vexing little imp! No matter what tactics one employed—racking one’s brain, trying both gentle persuasion and stern demands—when she didn’t want to speak, all one could do was fret.

The High Priest’s heart was in turmoil. He couldn’t help but express his feelings on social media: "A worthy successor has appeared! A worthy successor! The dance from the Dragon Temple Murals has finally been perfectly interpreted! The performance at this year’s Interstellar Competition opening ceremony must be hers! It absolutely must be hers! I’m so excited I can’t sleep!"

After the High Priest posted this message, it immediately caught the attention of netizens. Everyone assumed he was referring to Bai Jiusi, and they liked the post one after another.

Netizen: "Oh my god! Even the High Priest has spoken up! The Commandery Princess’s dance, no matter how many years pass, remains a classic that others can’t surpass!"
