The girl’s hand was crystal clear and moist, like creamy white jade, while You Su’s hand was warm and rough, forming a sharp contrast.

The girl seemed to be touching a man’s hand for the first time, and suddenly her face turned pomegranate red, wanting to speak but feeling shy.

Just as their hands connected, the surrounding music switched to a different rhythm, with less metallic sounds and more string and bamboo sounds. The melody was tender and lingering, the atmosphere soft and affectionate, making one seem to see a pair of lovers uncontrollably immersed in a sea of flowers. The remaining six dancers retreated to the sides, leaving the stage entirely for You Su and the girl.

Since birth, You Su had never danced, especially given his blindness which led to clumsiness. However, the girl thoughtfully guided him, her initial shyness quickly vanished, replaced by the grace and confidence of the dance queen she was at the beginning.

In fact, her confidence was not baseless. Among all the dance queens, she was undeniably the queen.

Her black hair was dyed ink-like, ribbons fluttering, sometimes raising her wrist and lowering her brows, sometimes gently waving her cloud-like hands. Her beauty was like the petals of a pink peach blossom, her movement with the grace of an orchid.

By the Jade Ring Pool, though she had no cultivation, she appeared as an ethereal fairy coming through waves.

You Su of the Middle Spirit Platform Realm seemed clumsy before her, as if he were a mere mortal enchanted by a fairy on a riverbank.

But fortunately, You Su’s sword training still remained, his posture was not stiff, his reactions quick, and he did not fall out of sync with the girl’s dance. Guided by the girl, he gradually fell into a rhythm, his feet lightly tapping, garments fluttering, like Hou Yi shooting down nine suns, like emperors driving dragons wild.

Yo Meng and Yu Long watched the two dancing in the pool, also gazing with obsession. In their eyes, this pair was a match made in heaven, inseparably intertwined.

Yet the music suddenly took a sharp turn, the soul-stirring sound of the flute rose quickly, sweeping away the thick atmosphere of affection. The six hidden dancers swirled their long sleeves, transforming into a sea of flowers, wrapping around the two.

You Su was at a loss, his steps faltered and stopped in place, while the girl seemed to be swept by the sea of flowers, her form began to retreat continuously. She reluctantly held onto You Su’s hand, as if uttering a vow that even if the sky were to fall, she would not part with him.

At this moment, the music abruptly stopped, and the fingers of the two connected like ancient zither strings, suddenly breaking apart.

Thus, the dance came to an end.

All the maids watching showed expressions of melancholy, as if they had watched a poignant drama of love unattained.

Even You Su was stunned in place, bewildered and lost, though it was only a musical dance, he felt as if he truly lost someone very important.

After a long silence, the female dancers dispersed, and the girl stepped out ahead of the crowd. Her black hair flowed like a waterfall, the pink smoke gauze skirt trailing on the ground, her plain face smiling softly. Though large areas of skin were exposed outside, it did not appear seductive or enticing.

"Mr. You, you have quite a talent for dancing."

The girl laughed gently, her voice like the shimmering water under a pool in the moonlight.

You Su came back to his senses and bowed, "The fairy taught well."

"The first half might be the combined effort of Mr. You and myself, but the feeling of bewilderment in the male protagonist in the latter half, Mr. You executed it to the extreme on your own, it has nothing to do with me."

The girl covered her mouth and chuckled, her bright eyes curving into a crescent-shaped blush.

You Su appeared awkwardly, realizing the girl was probably mocking his overly immersed performance when they separated just now.

"Fairy, please don’t laugh at You Su, to be honest, it’s my first time dancing."

But the girl raised her eyes, her ten fingers nervously interlocked:

"Mr. You has misunderstood, I have absolutely no intention of laughing at you! I truly think Mr. You is skilled in this field! Initially, I thought Mr. You would be as clumsy as you said, but you far exceeded my expectations, I was too delighted, which caused my laughter."

You Su was slightly stunned, "The fairy has overstated, You Su is still self-aware."

The girl stretched out her jade arm and fair wrist, "Mr. You should not belittle yourself. Please sit down, let me tell you the story behind this dance, and you will understand why I say you danced well."

You Su followed her guidance, sat cross-legged in his position, while the girl sat directly opposite him, the fragrant flower scent wafting gently towards You Su.

You Su sat upright and still, waiting for the lady to speak, and the girl smiled lightly, her cherry lips parting:

"Mr. You may not know, this dance is called ’Jade Immortal Rushing Pool,’ its story is not fictional, but a true event in the history of Jade Ring Pool. In our Jade Ring Pool, there has always been a pool saint who, though not the patriarch, holds extraordinary status, seen as the earthly projection of Jade Ring Pool."

You Su nodded slightly, "Yes, I’ve heard a little."

In the daytime stories of Yo Meng and Yu Long, he had some understanding of the Jade Ring Pool saint, historically there has only been one saint, chosen through special means. Each one had unparalleled talent and beauty, but often led short lives, like a stunning but brief-blooming extraordinary flower.

"Historically, there was a saint who was dazzling from birth, crowned in Jade Ring Pool, and exceptionally talented, entrusted with great hopes by Jade Ring Pool. Although the saint was unique, as a symbol of Jade Ring Pool, she was forever forbidden to leave Jade Ring Pool. But she was helplessly in love with someone she shouldn’t love, a fisherman who accidentally entered Jade Ring Pool."

"She knew there would be no good outcome with the fisherman, but that could not extinguish the love emerging in her heart. One day, to see him, she escaped Jade Ring Pool. She transformed into a mortal woman, happily married the fisherman, thinking they would grow old together like this. But the Immortal of Jade Ring Pool found her. She was powerless against her fate, and flew across the silver-glow-covered Jade Ring Lake before the fisherman, returning to Jade Ring Pool to continue fulfilling her mission."
