The King of Kings: Three Days Emperor

Chapter 04: Million Orchids Dance

Shang Tian thought a beautiful day should be spent watching beauties dancing around for his amusement. Hearing that Million Orchids Hall hosted many talented beauties that he chose it as the destination to visit first. Million Orchids Hall was known for their beautiful Orchids Dance and top beauties in the city, but it was not open for commoners. Even if he pulled out taels of golds to showcase that he had the money to pay. They rejected him. And even if he said that he was only there to watch the beautiful Orchids Dance and nothing more, the Hall would not open for anyone without a recognized title. Stuck, Shang Tian then claimed familiarity to an Artisan of the Hall, but the receptionist was cleared on the rules of the Hall.

Once in Million Orchids Hall, then there is no other familiar ties but Million Orchids Hall.

Shang Tian accepted defeat, but only for the front door. There were the back doors, and the side doors from the connected inns as options. The inns were opened for performances and to regular lodgings. Shang Tian thought he was the only one until he saw a familiar figure swiftly and quietly snuck in through the side inns. Coincidentally, Wu Lei decided to visit Ya Rong at Million Orchids Hall.

"Jie!" Wu Lei greeted Ya Rong with a smile.

Ya Rong rushed over to welcome him. She caressed his cheeks, "Are you well? An injury!" She exclaimed after she saw a small line from under Wu Lei's jaw.

Wu Lei smiled, pulling her hands away and replied, "It's just a scratch, no need to worry. How have you been?"

Ya Rong gazed at him with a gentle smile and a small nod.

Shang Tian managed to get further than just the hallway and witnessed the two. Due to the distortion of sounds, he misunderstood their relationship from his poor skill in eavesdropping.

"Hey You! The kid in blue! I thought I told you that we are not open for commoners!"

Shang Tian jumped like the fish out of water that he was then ran toward the startled Wu Lei and Ya Rong. With no hesitation he grabbed onto Wu Lei's arm and hid behind him. The small hand gripping onto his sleeve while the mouth pleaded, "Shen comrade, I just want to come see the famous Orchids Dance, please help this nomad!"

Wu Lei glared at him with no empathy. He was suspicious of this individual ever since the brawl; he did not believe in coincidences such as this situation.

"Liu Qian, who is he?" Ya Rong asked.

Shang Tian's eyes lit up at the two words, Liu Qian.

"A nobody, I don't know him. He is a trespasser." Wu Lei said, unmoved by Shang Tian's puppy eyes and little whimpers.

Shang Tian groaned and tugged his sleeves then mouthed the word, "please." The Hall's keeper came in with a few servant boys and Shang Tian faked a wail with a pout, tugging on Wu Lei's arm and even hugged it. Wu Lei glared at him before looking away with a heavy nervous sigh. He was caught by surprised at how much power Shang Tian had with his tiny tug on the arm. For a moment Wu Lei believed his arm would be torn off if he didn't interfere. He felt Shang Tian's inner energy flowing while weight was put forward and pressuring his forearm. Another gaze at Shang Tian's face showed a slight curving of the lips with eyes filled with mischief.

Ya Rong smiled with a bit of uneasiness when she saw Wu Lei's entrancing gaze at Shang Tian and the heavy sigh thereafter. "Young Master..." She called Shang Tian before turning to the manager, "Lao Wen." Ya Rong called for the manager in her attempt to mediate between the two parties, "Lao Wen, call Wu jie and the girls. I will have two special guests over. Tell them to prepare for the Orchids Dance," she ordered.

"Ya Rong!" Wu Lei objected. He didn't like the idea and didn't want her to give into Huo Shang Tian either.

Ya Rong felt a bit happy inside believing that he might've been jealous so she laughed it off.
