Chapter 154: The Hilarious Singing and Dancing Contest in Heaven
Amidst auspicious clouds swirling in the Heavenly Court, an unprecedented singing and dancing competition is about to begin. Liu Yu, Bai Suzhen, Xu Xian, and Xiaoqing have also arrived with great interest, ready to feast their eyes on the spectacle.
The competition was held in front of a magnificent palace, with celestial music playing all around and colorful ribbons fluttering in the air. Gods and fairies, dressed in their finest attire, were eager to compete.
First to appear was the Weaver Girl, who intended to amaze the audience with a beautiful ribbon dance. She gracefully twirled the ribbons in her hands, her figure elegant and alluring. But suddenly, the ribbons seemed to come alive, wrapping around the Weaver Girl's feet, tripping her and causing her to fall flat on her back. The audience was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Next, the seven fairies went up on stage as a group, ready to perform a chorus. But after only two lines, their voices started to go off-key, each one more awful than the last, sounding like a flock of ducks quacking incoherently. One of the fairies even forgot the lyrics and stood there at a loss, while the other fairies also lost their composure.
At this moment, even the jinx couldn't resist jumping onto the stage. He twisted his body, trying to show off his unique dance, while muttering incantations. But his clumsy movements and comical expressions made everyone burst into laughter. Suddenly, his clothes were torn, revealing his tattered underwear, and the audience laughed until tears streamed down their faces.
Erlang Shen's dog, Xiaotianquan, also got excited and barked as it rushed onto the stage, wanting to perform acrobatics. However, it failed to do a proper somersault and tumbled off the stage, crashing into a pillar.
Seeing this, Xu Xian laughed so hard he couldn't stand up straight, and said to Liu Yu, "This singing and dancing competition is simply a farce."
Bai Suzhen smiled and watched the stage with great interest.
Then, the fairy Chang'e appeared. She was supposed to dance gracefully, displaying elegant posture. But for some reason, her dance steps became very stiff, like a puppet. Moreover, her hair ornaments kept falling off, making her look quite disheveled.
Sun Wukong also arrived, wielding his golden cudgel, intending to sing and dance. But after only one line, he was startled by his own voice, which had become as awful as a duck's croak. Furious, he threw down his cudgel and scratched his head on stage.
Liu Yu laughed until her stomach hurt, and said to Xiao Qing, "This is much more interesting than any opera troupe in the human world."
Just as everyone was laughing so hard they were doubled over, Venus slowly walked onto the stage. He was going to recite a poem, but after only two lines, he forgot the words. He stood there racking his brains, and finally managed to stammer, "Oh dear, I forgot!" The audience burst into laughter again.
Next, the Eight Immortals took turns showcasing their talents. Lü Dongbin intended to demonstrate his sword skills but accidentally threw it into the audience; Tieguai Li's cane suddenly broke while he was dancing, causing him to fall to the ground; He Xiangu sang off-key, and Han Xiangzi's flute produced strange sounds.
Just then, the Heavenly Court's Song Queen—the Oriole Fairy—made her appearance. Everyone was looking forward to a wonderful performance from her, but when she opened her mouth, she made a sound like a crow, leaving everyone astonished.
Bai Suzhen couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, while Xu Xian laughed so hard he slapped his thigh.
The song and dance competition was nearing its end, with the final performance being a duet between the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West. The Jade Emperor wore a magnificent dragon robe, while the Queen Mother wore a phoenix robe. Their entrance on stage was met with cheers. However, as they danced, the Jade Emperor stepped on the Queen Mother's skirt, causing her to stumble and nearly fall. Their dance steps became chaotic, and they eventually tumbled off the stage together.
The singing and dancing competition ended amidst cheers and laughter.
After the competition, Liu Yu and his friends continued their visit to the Heavenly Court.
They saw the jinx hiding in a corner, regretting his embarrassing performance.
The Celestial Hound stood to the side, dejected because of his recent mistake.
As they walked, they encountered the Three Star Gods of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity, who were arguing about whose magical powers were stronger.
Xu Xian kindly tried to persuade them.
Just then, a crane flew across the sky. Liu Yu wanted to ride on it, but the crane refused and used its wings to knock him into the river.
Xu Xian and Xiao Qing quickly pulled him up.
In the evening, they found a place to rest.
That night, Liu Yu lay in bed, reminiscing about the day's interesting experiences, and drifted off to sleep. In his dream, he too participated in a singing and dancing competition and became the champion…
