Even more extravagantly, two stunningly beautiful women stood at the entrance of every room. Their cultivation levels were the same as the four women outside; they had all reached the Initial Stage of the Qi Sea Realm and were also Supernatural Experts.
In addition, three other beauties were serving Lv Yuze. They were slightly older, around twenty-eight, and were exceptionally sensual, alluring, and voluptuous. However, their power was even more terrifying. They had all cultivated to the Liquid Phase Middle Stage and similarly exuded a Special Ability aura.
As soon as Zhu Danyan and Zhang Bin walked in, Lv Yuze's eagle-like gaze locked onto Zhu Danyan. His eyes instantly lit up, his expression grew heated, and a look of greed surfaced on his face.
His disciple, Zhao Liang, also stared dumbfounded at Zhu Danyan, his face a mask of pure shock. The other beauties surreptitiously glanced at her from the corners of their eyes, their faces filling with an intense jealousy and envy.
After all, having taken the Evergreen Pill, the makeup-free Zhu Danyan was breathtakingly beautiful and tempting. An intoxicating charm, a noble temperament, and a pure, flawless aura radiated from her blemish-free body, surging forth to fill the luxurious private room.
Zhang Bin's gaze also fell on Lv Yuze the moment he entered.
Although Lv Yuze was already forty-five years old, he looked much younger than his actual age. His complexion was ruddy, his skin gleamed, his hair was jet-black and shiny, and there wasn't a single wrinkle on his face. He appeared to be only in his thirties. His features were also distinctive; he was tall and imposing, with slender eyes and an overly prominent hooked nose that nearly touched his lips. His forehead was broad, giving the impression of extraordinary wisdom.
He was undoubtedly a Supernatural Expert, emitting a rich Special Ability aura. Furthermore, he was a mighty cultivator who had reached the Liquid Transformation Late Stage, the same as Zhang Bin. However, his most distinct trait was that of a scholar, as he exuded a strong literary fragrance.
So many positive traits and merits converging in one person formed a unique personal charisma. If used to charm women, such charisma would surely be unstoppable. And judging by the arrangement of so many youthful beauties in his suite, without a single male bodyguard in sight, it was evident he was a man of many desires.
"Hahaha… The Empress has arrived. Please, have a seat." Lv Yuze pushed away the beauty in his arms, stood up, and spoke with a smile, appearing quite polite and gentlemanly.
"Thank you, Master Yu." Zhu Danyan sat down on the sofa.
Zhang Bin naturally stood behind her, wearing an utterly composed expression. He even had the leisure to send out his Divine Sense to slowly appreciate the grandmaster paintings on the walls. It seemed he wasn't the least bit nervous; it was as if he paid Lv Yuze no mind at all.
CLAP.
Lv Yuze clapped his hands. The four beauties from outside swayed into the room and shut the door tightly behind them, sealing the space off from the outside world.
Melodious music began to play, and the dance floor lights started to flicker. The host of beautiful women began to dance gracefully, each with sparkling eyes and charming glances, waists as pliable as snakes, and smiles that bloomed like flowers. A special, sultry atmosphere immediately created a world of hedonistic splendor. The five chefs in the kitchen also began to get busy.
Tsk, tsk… He really knows how to live. So this is the style of an entertainment industry godfather? Zhang Bin thought to himself.
"Danyan, it won't be easy for you to win the throne of the Masked Singing King this time," Lv Yuze said indifferently, watching Zhu Danyan like a wolf.
"You're right, Master Yu," Zhu Danyan replied. "But I will do my best, so I won't have any regrets."
Her response showed her cleverness; she refused to walk into his trap. She had not asked for Lv Yuze's help and was implicitly stating that she would not regret it even if she failed, because she would have tried her best.
Lv Yuze gave a faint smile. "Empress, you probably think that as long as you get the new song Zhao Liang is writing for you, you can turn the tide, claim the King's throne, and defend your Empress's throne, right?"
"You're not wrong, Master Yu. That's exactly what I think. As long as I get a song that Mr. Zhao Liang puts his full effort into, I am confident I can contend for the King's throne," Zhu Danyan stated confidently. "I will certainly pay the highest price to purchase it."
Her implication was clear: she was only here today to buy a song, and he shouldn't get any other ideas.
"Empress, your strength is undoubtedly top-notch, both in your voice and your singing technique. However, I'd wager that even if you get a song my disciple pours his heart into, you'll still lose." A smug look crossed Lv Yuze's face. "Because contestant number three is Feng Banmei. Her skill is no less than yours; she's only less famous. Most importantly, she came to me and asked me to compose three songs for her. And while my disciple has learned my secrets, he still lacks refinement and experience. He is far from my equal. Therefore, she is destined to be the champion of the finals; the crown of the Singing King can only belong to her. The songs I write possess that kind of magical charm."
Zhu Danyan's face turned pale. She was speechless for a long moment as deep pain and despair flooded her heart. If he wasn't lying, then she really would lose to Feng Banmei. The blow to her popularity would be immense, and her fall from the Empress's throne would be inevitable.
But she was only twenty-five years old and had even taken an Evergreen Pill, gaining thirty years of youth. How could she possibly resign herself to this fate?
Zhao Liang and Lv Yuze exchanged a look and smiled, the smugness on their faces especially thick.
"Then, Master Yu, could you write three songs for me? I'm willing to pay the high price of one hundred million per song," Zhu Danyan asked, gritting her teeth.
Typically, the copyright for a song cost a few hundred thousand at most. Yet, Zhu Danyan was willing to pay such an exorbitant price for songs written by Lv Yuze rather than be taken advantage of. After all, with a fortune of three hundred million, what kind of woman couldn't be bought? It was very likely he would let her go for that amount. This way, she could preserve her dignity and potentially win the singing competition. Moreover, she wouldn't offend Lv Yuze and risk being blackballed by him. This was the 'negotiation' she had discussed with Zhang Bin, and it certainly demonstrated her considerable wisdom.
"Hahaha… Empress, do I look like someone who needs money?" Lv Yuze laughed arrogantly. "I may not be the world's richest man, but I'm not far off. So, what I need… you understand. Just nod or shake your head."
Damn you to hell! I can't take this anymore. I'm going to kill you right now!
Zhang Bin was instantly enraged. An ice-cold killing intent burst from his body as he prepared to go on a rampage.
