Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2970

Chapter 1483 All in One Pot

Zu An and Lu Zhi entered together, their bodies trembling slightly as they looked at the two women in the hall.

Those two faces, so unforgettable, though identical, were easily distinguishable. The

one with the deep, mysterious allure of the ocean, exuding a free and unrestrained air, was none other than Shang Liuyu.

The beautiful figure beside him carried the loneliness of a thousand years spent guarding the Moon Palace, her beautiful brows reflecting the melancholy of a heart yearning for the vast blue sky every night—who else could it be but Gong Suyin, whom he had been searching for so long?

He had been searching for the Goddess of Wushan and her in various worlds, even traversing timelines. He had at least found a glimpse of the Goddess of Wushan in her childhood, but Gong Suyin remained elusive. He never expected to encounter her here.

Their eyes met, speaking volumes.

Gong Suyin, who had just been cold and aloof, now smiled sweetly: “It is my honor.”

This turn of events made the Sun family father and son’s faces grim. Previously, Sun Ce had asked the two sisters to play a piece, but they had been aloof, both claiming to be unwell.

Although everyone knew it was just an excuse, at least it was acceptable on the surface.

But now that another man had arrived, the aloof goddess had suddenly become enthusiastic, and no one could resist that.

“This piece is called ‘The Song of Rainbow Feathers’.” Zu An took out an ancient musical score from his sleeve and handed it over. “It was composed by me in a dream… when I was outside the Moon Palace. I think the two ladies will like it.”

Many things didn’t need to be said explicitly, but when Gong Suyin took the score, her fingertips lightly touched his, and both of them were startled. Gong Suyin lowered her eyes and

opened the score. She had never seen the melody before, yet it felt strangely familiar—as if she had vaguely heard immortals playing music during her long years in the Moon Palace. Shang Liuyu leaned over and glanced at it, then smiled slightly and said, “How can such heavenly music be without a dancer? I’ll do it.” Upon hearing this, Sun Jian and Sun Ce were speechless. Qiao Xuan, who had been smiling broadly, after all, had a good impression of Liu Bei, but now he couldn’t hold back his smile either. Although she was pleased to see her beloved daughter find a hero, which would be a great help to the Qiao family, it was truly a misfortune for both of her daughters to fall for the same man. At this moment, Gong Suyin lightly raised her hand, and the pond in the backyard suddenly rippled without wind. Streams of water rose from the pond, swirling and condensing into a transparent seven-stringed zither. The zither’s body was a deep, dark blue, with shimmering light flowing within, like a beautiful sea. The strings were formed from moonlight, silvery and translucent, rippling with a gentle touch. Zu An had seen her Deep Sea Zither before, but he hadn’t expected it to now possess the attribute of moonlight. Her slender fingers touched the strings. A clear sound, like moonlight shattering. The music was unlike any other mortal sound. The melody was both cold and beautiful, ethereal yet deeply affectionate. Although it was the “Rainbow Feather Robe Dance” given to her by Zu An, everyone’s minds conjured up the magnificence of the celestial palace and the desolation of the Moon Palace. With each note, ripples spread across everyone’s hearts, and even the flowers, trees, and shrubs in the courtyard trembled, as if the entire Qiao mansion were responding. Shang Liuyu stood up, and everyone then noticed that she was barefoot, stepping lightly on the paving stones. Sunlight streamed in through the window, illuminating her jade-like feet; her ankles were as slender as fair wrists, her insteps as smooth as cream, her toes as delicate as seashells, their tips tinged with a faint pink. Everyone in the hall stared in disbelief. Zu An couldn’t help but marvel at how the mermaid princess’s feet truly were the most exquisite creation of the sea. The music quickened, and Shang Liuyu began to dance. Her movements were unlike the reserved and restrained style of women in this world; instead, they carried the unrestrained freedom of the sea. Her bare feet lightly touched the ground like waves lapping against the shore; her body spun, her skirt billowing like the surging tide. Her jade-like feet would sometimes rise on tiptoe, the arches of her feet forming a graceful arc; sometimes they would lightly step, her toes curling slightly like a seashell closing its shell… Each touch of the ground was perfectly in sync with Gong Suyin’s zither music. As the music reached its climax, Shang Liuyu leaped into the air, spinning three times. Suddenly, a rain of petals began to fall, her skirt blooming like an anemone, her jade-like feet even more delicate than the petals. Gong Suyin’s zither music became tender and poignant, like a lament. Shang Liuyu’s dance slowed accordingly. The two sisters’ gazes remained fixed on Zu’an, their eyes filled with a tidal wave of longing and the joy of reunion, making Sun Ce clench his fists tightly. Sun Ce’s anger level increased by 666+666+666… Zu’an, however, didn’t even bother to look at him, instead gazing affectionately at the two women. As the last note faded, Shang Liuyu stopped dancing, her feet together, gently stepping on a falling petal. She breathed softly, her chest rising and falling, the petals beneath her bare feet intact. A moment of silence filled the hall, followed by bursts of applause. Even Lu Zhi couldn’t help but exclaim, “Moon Palace celestial music, deep sea enchanting dance! How fortunate I am in this life!” The Sun family father and son had also admired this celestial music and dance; the two women together even seemed to surpass Diao Chan’s dance they had seen before. But the thought that this was a performance specifically for another man made it difficult for them to feel happy. Gong Suyin stroked the strings of her zither, the instrument transforming into seawater that slowly flowed back into the pool. The moonlit strings shattered into countless points of light, dissipating like fireflies. She looked at Zu An, a hint of a smile in her eyes—a gentleness rarely seen in the Guanghan Palace. She slowly said to Qiao Xuan, “Father, I have made my decision. I want to marry him.” Qiao Xuan hadn’t expected his usually taciturn eldest daughter to express her feelings so directly. Where would the Sun family father and son put their faces now? More importantly, if this got out, probably no other noble families would come to propose marriage. Before he could finish his woes, Shang Liuyu kicked her foot, sending a petal stuck to the back of her foot into Zu An’s hand: “I want to marry him too.” Qiao Xuan: “???” Lu Zhi: “???” The Sun family father and son standing nearby: “!!!” What the hell is going on? Where did your aloofness go? This is outrageous! Qiao Xuan couldn’t hold back any longer: “Nonsense! A woman’s marriage is arranged by her parents, not her own decision. Besides, you two have both taken a liking to him, how am I supposed to choose?” Gong Suyin smiled slightly: “No need to choose, we’re willing to marry him together.” Shang Liuyu also looked at Zu An, her face full of carefree joy: “Are you willing to marry him?” “Of course!” Zu An declared firmly. Lu Zhi, standing nearby, looked puzzled. He had just been comforting him, and now the two Qiao sisters were eager to marry him? This world is a bit hard to understand. The Sun family father and son, standing nearby, couldn’t sit still any longer and stormed off.

Qiao Xuan’s face darkened: “How dare sisters share a husband! What kind of decorum is this?”

Lu Zhi cleared his throat, feeling it necessary to support his disciple: “Master Qiao, you are mistaken. In ancient times, there were the Ehuang and Nüying sisters. Emperor Jing of this dynasty had the Wang Zhi and Wang Erxu sisters, and Emperor Cheng had the Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede sisters. Such things are not uncommon in noble families.”

Qiao Xuan couldn’t help but take out his cane to hit him: “You good-for-nothing! You’re unwilling to let your own daughters marry, so you let your disciple come here and take them all?”
