Li Dai never expected to see Xiaorui again in such a setting.
A spacious hall was lavishly decorated with exotic flowers and rare plants. Along both sides sat various handsome men playing a variety of musical instruments, while in the center a large group of beauties danced gracefully. At the head of the hall, upon a throne woven from a thousand-wire vine, a breathtaking young woman of sixteen or seventeen sat in languid ease. She was leisurely letting an extraordinarily handsome man with a green face serve her, feeding her, pouring her drinks, and massaging her shoulders and back. Every now and then, amused by the performance below, she would burst into a fit of giggling, watching the show with deep concentration.
Only when she sensed that familiar gaze did the stunning woman look away from the performers. Upon seeing Li Dai, a flash of delighted surprise crossed her eyes. Like a colorful butterfly, she flew toward her, threw herself into her arms, and squealed with spoiled excitement, "Dai! You're finally here! Xiaorui has been waiting for you for so long!"
