The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

"However, Kuang Xiu's actions deeply offended Guo Kai."

"Not long after, Guo Kai sent him to the Qin state on the grounds that the King of Qin was fond of music, and he became a court musician in the Qin state."

"After Kuang Xiu left, Xue Nu's situation in Zhao became increasingly difficult. A year ago, as she grew more and more beautiful, Guo Kai once again had designs on her. So, before Guo Kai could force her to marry him, she finally escaped Zhao and came to this land of Yan."

Gao uses a storytelling style to recount the events that happened to the Snow Woman.

Jiang Chuan's eyes flickered. "So, after fulfilling Kuang Xiu's last wish, you came to this Ji City and became a musician at Fei Xue Pavilion? Your purpose was to help Kuang Xiu take care of Xue Nu and his descendants?"

Gao Jianli nodded.

Jiang Chuan then said, "If I remember correctly, you don't seem to be that old."

"Now that the Snow Woman has grown more and more beautiful, and is also getting older, haven't you developed any feelings for her while taking care of her?"

Chapter 265 Flying Snow Jade Flower

Jiang Chuan's gaze fell on Gao Jianli.

Upon hearing this, Gao Jianli became somewhat annoyed. He said with a cold face, "Mr. Jiang, please don't joke around."

"Xue Nu is a junior of Kuang Xiu. During his lifetime, Kuang Xiu took great care of her. I could tell from Kuang Xiu's zither playing that he regretted not being able to take care of Xue Nu because he left Zhao. That's why he came to Ji City and joined Fei Xue Pavilion, just to secretly take care of Xue Nu."

"Even if she is very beautiful, if I were to develop feelings for Xue Nu, how would that be any different from Guo Kai and his ilk in Zhao?"

"Is that so?" Jiang Chuan looked at Gao Jianli intently after hearing such righteous and stern words. "I hope you can remember what you said."

The reason he asked Gao Jianli that question earlier was because in the original novel, Gao Jianli had developed feelings for Xue Nu while working as a musician at Fei Xue Pavilion, and eventually became a devoted admirer.

Jiang Chuan then spoke up: "I haven't been in Ji City for very long, but I have heard of the Snow Maiden. In addition to being the number one dancer in Zhao, she is now gradually becoming the number one dancer in Yan. If she were just famous, that would be fine, but the key is that she is also very beautiful. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she is a beauty that could topple kingdoms."

"Such beauty, coupled with her frail appearance, inevitably attracts the covetousness of the powerful and wealthy in this chaotic world. Protecting her won't be so easy."

Gao Jianli said in a deep voice, "The situation in Yan is different from that in Zhao. In Zhao, Guo Kai held immense power, but in Yan, Xue Nu is protected by Crown Prince Yan Dan, and Fei Xue Ge is backed by the Crown Prince, so such a thing should not happen."

"It seems you don't know much about the Yan Kingdom either!"

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but say, "You yourself were one of those persecuted by the powerful and wealthy in the past. What makes you think that the mere Crown Prince Yan Dan can protect Xue Nu?"

"Admittedly, his status as the crown prince is extraordinary, but what if it is Lord Yanchun or the Prince of Yan who covets the beauty of the Snow Maiden?"

Lord Yanchun was the only younger brother of the King of Yan, and his status in the Yan state was obvious.

As for the King of Yan, needless to say, he was the father of Crown Prince Yan Dan.

If these two people are interested in the Snow Maiden, even Prince Yan Dan would find it difficult to protect her.

Upon hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Gao Jianli immediately realized the predicament.

However, he still firmly believed that the State of Yan was different from the State of Zhao.

"Such a thing is just your assumption; it probably won't happen."

Seeing Gao Jianli's confident assertion, Jiang Chuan didn't say much, but instead made another request to Gao Jianli, "By the way, since you are a musician in Feixue Pavilion, you are considered an insider here."

"Could you get me a ticket to the Snow Woman's dance performance in two weeks?"

Feixue Pavilion claims that the selection of people to watch the Snow Maiden's dance is a fair lottery, regardless of social status, and is entirely based on luck. However, Jiang Chuan does not believe this. Perhaps some poor people are lucky enough to become guests of the Snow Maiden and have the privilege of entering Feixue Pavilion on that special day to watch the Snow Maiden dance, but most of them are still the powerful and wealthy.

After all, Feixue Pavilion is the property of Crown Prince Yan Dan, and even Crown Prince Yan Dan cannot afford to offend those people.

He wanted to help the Snow Maiden become famous, and then win over the common people to help him improve his reputation, but he did not abandon his base. He was the Crown Prince of Yan, and was born to stand in the elite class. He could not possibly betray his class.

Jiang Chuan's words sounded somewhat strange.

But Gao Jianli still understood what Jiang Chuan meant.

After pondering for a moment, he nodded.

Although he hadn't been with Feixue Pavilion for very long, his musical talent quickly made him stand out among the musicians, giving him an extraordinary status. He was able to help Jiang Chuan with this small matter.

Jiang Chuan did not stay in Gao Jianli's room for too long, after all, it was already late at night.

Moreover, it was in a man's room, which was inevitably a bit strange.

After catching up with Gao Jianli and exchanging a few words, Jiang Chuan drifted away.

Afterwards, he returned to his residence, the best inn in Jicheng, and had a good night's sleep.

For the next two weeks, Jiang Chuan wandered around Jicheng as a tourist, going to the east side of the city one day and the west side the next, quickly becoming familiar with the entire city.

Time flies, and before we know it, the day of the Snow Woman's dance has arrived.

Jiang Chuan had actually visited Fei Xue Ge a few days ago, but unfortunately, he was not selected as a spectator for the Snow Maiden's dance this month. This shows that all the lotteries and raffles are actually rigged.

But it doesn't matter, because Jiang Chuan has connections in Fei Xue Pavilion.

Through Gao Jianli's connections, Jiang Chuan still managed to get an admission ticket.

Night falls.

While most of Jicheng was shrouded in darkness, the area where Feixue Pavilion was located was brightly lit. From a distance, Feixue Pavilion resembled a city that never sleeps, extremely dazzling.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Feixue Pavilion, Jiang Chuan couldn't help but think of Zilan Pavilion in Korea from years ago, which was just as dazzling at night.

Then, holding the entry token, Jiang Chuan stepped into Fei Xue Pavilion.

At this moment, there were already many people in Feixue Pavilion.

383 They were all filled with excitement, looking forward to the dance that the Snow Maiden was about to perform. Jiang Chuan even saw a grandfather and grandson. The grandson was pointing at the Flying Snow Jade Flower Platform and asking a question, while the old man was explaining the origin of the Flying Snow Jade Flower Platform to his grandson. At the same time, he was talking about the Snow Maiden's beauty, while revealing a lecherous look on his face.

In response, Jiang Chuan could only say that being a pervert is not limited by age.

Seriously, this old guy is so old, does he still have that ability?

Time passes slowly.

This waiting process is the most boring and frustrating.

But we have no choice but to wait.

I don't know how much time passed, until a clear chime sounded, followed by the sound of bells, and then the sounds of many other musical instruments.

The curtains beside the Flying Snow Jade Flower Terrace had already been drawn.

Above it, it is open air.

It's a bit chilly tonight.

Tiny snowflakes drifted down, landing on the Snow Jade Flower Platform. A graceful figure had somehow appeared on the platform, curling up in a ball. Then, like a blooming flower, she slowly opened her body. As she opened, the curtains surrounding the platform also fluttered and fell away.

Chapter 266 A Dance That Could Topple a City, A Beauty That Could Cause Calamity

As the curtain fell, the Snow Maiden's true appearance was fully revealed to the many guests in Feixue Pavilion.

Some of them had been fortunate enough to witness the Snow Woman's previous dances, but even so, they were still amazed when they saw her again.

On the Snowflake Jade Flower Platform, a woman with skin as white as snow and rare white hair with silver strands displayed her graceful figure in a charming pose. Her figure was slender, her shoulders narrow as if carved, and her waist as thin as a sash. Her features were exquisite, as if she had captured the spirit of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon. She wore a water-colored silk robe, adorned with pearls, jade and silver ornaments. Although she was dressed in gorgeous attire, she was like a snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains, giving people a pure and untainted temperament.

As the sounds of musical instruments began.

Like a snow lotus swaying, the Snow Maiden dances gracefully, her movements light and agile, her dance exquisite. Sometimes she moves like a startled swan, sometimes like a swimming dragon. Every gesture and step she makes exudes an indescribable beauty. Her dance seems to contain the wonders of heaven and earth, and the great principles of the universe.

At first, many guests in Feixue Pavilion were moved by the beauty of Xue Nu.

But as the snow woman began to dance, they gradually became immersed in her beautiful dance.

The music rose and fell, and so did the Snow Maiden's dance, sometimes vigorous, sometimes gentle as water. Snowflakes fell from the skylight above the Snow Jade Flower Platform, landing around the platform and in the surrounding pools, causing ripples to spread across the water.

The mood of everyone in Feixue Pavilion was like the water in a pond, constantly rippling.

Once everyone had calmed down, they suddenly realized that the Snow Woman's dance had come to an abrupt end, marking the end of her performance.

Feixue Pavilion remained silent for a long time.

Everyone felt a sense of unfinished business.

After a long while, someone finally woke up.

Then, words of praise continued to flow from the crowd.

At the same time, some people felt regretful that such a beautiful dance could only be performed once a month, which made them very eager to see it. More importantly, they might not even be eligible to watch the Snow Woman dance next month.

The once-a-month Snow Woman Dance has come to an end.

The Snow Maiden stood atop the Jade Flower Terrace, preparing to bid farewell to her many guests and depart.

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out at the entrance of Feixue Pavilion.

"Who dares to be so insolent?"

Hearing the commotion at the entrance, a robust, gloomy-looking middle-aged man among the many guests immediately stepped forward and shouted a reprimand.

The man's name was Yan Yi, and he was a general of the Yan state, holding an extremely high position in the Yan army.

After witnessing the Snow Maiden's dance at Feixue Pavilion today, he developed a deep admiration for her. Seeing her about to leave, he felt somewhat reluctant, but he also knew that Feixue Pavilion was the Crown Prince's property, and even he couldn't act rashly.

Although Yan Yi was a general in the army, his status in the Yan state was ultimately not as high as that of Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei in the former state of Han, so he was still somewhat wary of him.

At that moment, hearing the commotion at the entrance, I thought someone was trying to cause trouble.

He immediately chose to step forward, after all, given his status, he could handle any troublemakers.

Moreover, this move could also help him gain favor with the Snow Maiden, and perhaps even win her heart, leading her to perform a dance for him alone.
