The villain daughter did all kinds of things

On top of Lulu's head was a fat orange cat with long wings, which was Pancake.

As an otherworldly creature that could only move freely under Emerald's guarantee, Pancake was required to stay by Emerald's side. Starting yesterday morning, it acted as a photographer for a full day and night, documenting the entire training process of Surina and the dance troupe girls.

If Sulina and the others' performance this afternoon is a great success, Emery plans to compile their training footage and make it into a new movie, "Musical Girl 2".

Bringing up the rear of the group was Flora, who had temporarily filled in for Viliana. Dressed in a robe and carrying a staff, she looked like a guard, but was actually just there for fun.

Amelie and her group had a large private room, about 50 to 60 square meters, where several people could sit and watch without feeling crowded. There were also beautiful women arranged by the Vance Group waiting at the door to bring everyone the snacks, fruits, and drinks they needed.

After a few casual words in the private room, the celebration began.

On the makeshift stage set up in the center of the cinema, the first to appear were two hosts, a typical handsome man and beautiful woman duo. As soon as they opened their mouths, they told several jokes like they were performing a stand-up comedy routine, which made the ordinary audience members on the first and second floors laugh out loud, successfully warming up the atmosphere.

Next came the official opening ceremony of the cinema. In this world, ribbon-cutting is not common. Emerald and Hausman Vance came out of the box and waved to everyone from the third floor. Then, the two hosts led the audience in a loud countdown for a few seconds, and the ceremony was considered a success.

Then came the opening ceremony, where staff distributed large quantities of chocolates, candies, and drinks to the audience for free, and a song and dance performance began.

Sulina and her dance troupe of girls made a dazzling entrance.

They were all dressed in sweet, anime-style song and dance costumes, with identical white stockings and wedge heels. As soon as they stepped on stage, they started dancing with a clattering sound.

Su Lina, as the center, sang and danced, while the girls danced around her, captivating the audience with one song and dance after another.

Everyone loves to see hot, beautiful women with great figures. With the looks of Su Lina and the girls, even if they were jumping around on stage, there would definitely be people willing to buy tickets to watch them, not to mention that their dance performance itself is also excellent.

The tap dance steps are energetic and lively, and the girls' legs wrapped in white stockings are as tempting as ice cream in summer. Every tap of the heels on the stage seems to hit the hearts of the audience, making many of them secretly swallow their saliva.

Su Lina, who was in the center position, immediately impressed the audience. Many of the wealthy young men sitting in the private boxes called their servants over to whisper to each other, asking who the lead dancer was and what all her information was.

Su Lina's information was not difficult to find, and those rich young men quickly got the answer: the beautiful woman they had just set their sights on was Miss Melson's private possession.

So the rich young men immediately abandoned their idea of ​​trying to seduce Su Lina.

In online novels, the kind of brainless, rich young villains who flirt with every beautiful woman they see and risk offending the protagonist are actually a tiny minority. Most wealthy people, no matter how perverse they may be in private, are quite polite on the surface and know what's important. There are plenty of beautiful women in the world, and it's not worth offending someone powerful for the sake of one, let alone offending Miss Melson, who could blow their heads off at any moment. All those who lusted after Su Lina immediately abandoned this dangerous idea and focused on watching the song and dance performance with the beauty beside them.

Throughout the celebration, whether they were invited VIPs or ordinary spectators who came simply to get free candy and drinks, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the performance.

Such opening ceremony performances by large businesses are actually quite common in Sphingart, with one happening almost every few days; local residents have seen them countless times.

But the performances at those celebrations were too artistic and too highbrow. Basically, it was just a group of beautiful women tiptoeing around, occasionally throwing in a few soprano lines. People were getting a bit tired of it.

In contrast, the Blue Star Dance Troupe's performance, while still mainly consisting of the same old moves, featured occasional tap dance steps that were a refreshing surprise... After all, who doesn't love to see the legs of a beautiful girl in white stockings, and the tapping sound was novel and interesting.

The only people with unpleasant expressions at the scene were the administrator from the arts association and the singers and dancers who were originally scheduled to perform on stage.

The fact that Sulina could remember Amelie's harassment of her at school for so many years is enough to prove that she is not very magnanimous, and she will not show any mercy to the person who just provoked her.

So during the performance, Su Lina secretly used her family's stage magic. The sweet and bright smiles on her face that appeared to ordinary audiences turned into expressions of disdain and mockery in the eyes of the art association and her peers.

The dancers in the audience gritted their teeth and clenched their fists, wishing they could rush up and surround Su Lina to beat her up, but they could only think about it. They hadn't lost their minds, and they hadn't even given up hope. They were waiting for the Blue Star Dance Troupe to make a fool of themselves.

The layman sees the spectacle, but the expert sees the details. As fellow singers and dancers, these performance groups can easily see how physically demanding this dance, which incorporates tap dance steps, is.

Sulina is a master-level mage, so she'll be fine, but what about the backup dancers? They're just ordinary people. Dancing at such high intensity for an hour will probably exhaust them, and mistakes are bound to happen.

However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. As the song and dance performance continued, many audience members sitting there felt a little tired, but the girls on stage were still full of energy and at their peak, perfectly performing every dance move.

...That's impossible!

The fellow singers and dancers in the audience shouted in their hearts, and after careful observation, they quickly discovered the girls' secret.

A faint golden glow constantly flowed across their skin, a result of some kind of divine blessing magic in effect.

"They have defiled the purity of art!"

Immediately, some dancers went to the arts association's management to complain.

The administrator who came to the art association today was an arrogant old lady. She may have been a beauty when she was young, but now she is not only wrinkled, but also very fat, and no longer has any artistic aura.

"Don't worry, I saw it too. I'll give them a good scolding after the performance. We can't let these centuries-old rules be ruined by them!"

The plump old woman quickly reassured the association's dancers, appearing very confident.

Actually, according to the rules of the Arts Association, magic is not forbidden in song and dance performances; for example, Sulina's stage magic is permitted. However, this magic must belong to the performer herself. Relying on the magical power of outsiders or taking magic potions are what the Arts Association prohibits. The Association considers such performances to be cheating and a defilement of art.

Finally, as the last light tapping sound on stage ceased, the Blue Star Dance Troupe's performance came to an end. In just over two hours, they performed 16 new songs and dances without stopping, each one a resounding success.

Many audience members were still eager for more, shouting that they wanted to see more legs.

Su Lina is such a good opportunity-taker. After the performance, she didn't leave the stage with her friends immediately. Instead, she took the opportunity to promote the Blue Star Dance Troupe and the "Singing Girl" movie series.

The Vance father and son are also business-savvy. They originally planned to screen their new movie "Deep Sea Voyage" at tonight's preview screening, but seeing how successful Su Lina and her team's performance was, they immediately changed their plans and decided to screen their new movie "Singing Girl".

After Su Lina finished advertising herself and stepped off the stage, many people's eyes fell on the plump old lady from the art association, and quite a few people even looked on with amusement.

The conflict between Emerald and the Art Association was no secret. In fact, many of the VIPs who were invited to attend were most looking forward to seeing the two sides fight to see whether the so-called artists were more aloof or the young lady was more willful.

Now that the young lady has already made her move in her turn, her own dance troupe not only completed the performance independently but also performed exceptionally well, giving the Arts Association a resounding slap in the face. Now it remains to be seen what the Arts Association will do next.

Almost all the VIPs noticed that Amelie had secretly blessed the girls with holy magic. After all, which powerful person didn't have a few capable bodyguards around them? If they couldn't even tell whether an ordinary girl had magical effects on her, they might as well quit their job.

The VIPs were well aware of the rules of the Arts Association, which is why they were even more eager to see what would happen—to see if the fat old lady of the Arts Association was stubborn enough to directly expose those who were angrily criticizing the Blue Star Song and Dance Troupe.

The elderly woman felt an increasing pressure on her body.

According to the rules in Sphingard, after each song and dance performance, someone from the Arts Association must come out to give a critique, in order to demonstrate the association's authority in this field.

Emerald did not ask the Vance father and son to cancel the process, and the two hosts of the celebration quickly formally invited the plump old lady to come forward and give her comments.

After the plump old woman went on stage and took the magic megaphone, she took a deep breath and prepared to start her rant.

Of course she knew that Miss Melson was there watching, but so what?

So, Miss Melson can do whatever she wants? What I'm about to say is the truth! You have indeed violated centuries-old rules and defiled the purity of art. Do you really dare to kill this old woman in public?

!

However, just as the fat old woman was about to utter the first word, she suddenly felt her heart tighten.

It wasn't an illusion; it was as if a hand was truly gripping her heart, and if her words didn't satisfy the owner of that hand, her heart would immediately explode.

...No, she really dares to do that?

The plump old woman swallowed hard, glanced towards the private room in the middle of the third floor, and saw a pair of dazzling golden eyes.

...I'll die! I really will die!

The plump old woman swallowed again, feeling quite indignant.

Miss Melson, how dare you threaten me like that? Do you think I'm that easily intimidated? I will not submit to your tyranny!

The plump old woman kept encouraging herself, and finally spoke her first words:

"This was a fantastic performance!"

After that, she completely ignored the astonished and disappointed looks of the singers and dancers in the audience, and praised Su Lina and the Blue Star Song and Dance Troupe from an artistic point of view, almost praising Su Lina as a song and dance queen like her sister.

The average audience member thought it was perfectly normal, because the afternoon's song and dance performance was truly excellent. They would come again whenever the Blue Star Song and Dance Troupe performed, even if it meant paying for tickets—the legs of the beautiful girls were the real essence of the art! Those new dance moves were fantastic!

After spouting completely false praise for the Blue Star Dance Troupe, the fat old woman realized that her behavior, which was tantamount to surrender, was incredibly shameful. So she refused the rest of the event and ran away.

The dancers who had made things difficult for Su Lina yesterday also wanted to run away, but they were a step slower than the fat old woman and were blocked by Su Lina.

"Hey girls, where are you all headed?"

The victorious Surina was quite pleased with herself, like a female general inspecting her captured prisoners. She even imitated Emery's manipulative actions, hooking the chins of several beautiful female dancers with her hand.

"Weren't you guys so arrogant yesterday? You even said you'd watch me embarrass myself this afternoon? That I'd be begging you to come on stage with me? Why aren't you arrogant anymore? Go ahead and be arrogant then! Why are you running away?"

Chapter 192 Rewards and Punishments

The dancers whose path was blocked by Su Lina all looked angry, their teeth clenched, but none of them dared to confront Su Lina directly.

Seeing that their arrogant eyes from yesterday afternoon had now turned into fear, Su Lina felt a great sense of satisfaction.

Once, Sulina also wanted to be an ambitious artist, and she looked down on those singers and dancers who were kept by sugar daddies... until she herself became the very thing she used to hate.

It doesn't seem like... a bad thing?

It feels so good to have someone to rely on and someone to support you.

She used to have to shoulder everything on her own, and every day felt like walking on thin ice. Even a lowly deputy town mayor dared to seduce her.

Now? Even if we just kill that deputy mayor, it probably won't cause any problems, right?

Speaking of which... that deputy mayor seems to still be alive... should we try to whisper in his ear next time and find an excuse to get rid of him?

Having tasted the sweetness of being kept by Emery, Sulina naturally wanted more.

As for the dancers who had previously given her a hard time, Sulina simply mocked them and let them go. After all, they hadn't done anything seriously wrong, and what dancer in Sphingard would dare to defy the Arts Association?

After the performance, as per the schedule, the next hour or so until 6 p.m. is free time for everyone. Vance Mall will provide all guests with a delicate refreshment, and the stage in the center of the cinema will be dismantled and replaced with a large projection device during this time.

This so-called free time was actually meant for socializing. Many of the dignitaries attending today's celebration weren't really interested in the song and dance performances or the movies; they were more interested in using this opportunity to network with the Vance family and the young lady from the Melson family.

So as soon as the free time began, people came to visit Emerald's private room with gifts. Most of them were young people of similar age, mostly the children of government officials or wealthy businessmen, while their fathers went to the Vance family.

These young men and women claimed they were just there to get to know Amelie and give her some small gifts, but their true intentions were not what they seemed.

Connor's death has allowed Amelie to reappear as single and unmarried in public, while Miss Melson, with her status as a Fusion Stage powerhouse, can definitely make anyone who becomes her partner soar to great heights.

Although everyone knows the chances are slim and the situation is dangerous, what if it succeeds? A businessman would even sell the rope to hang himself, let alone just curry favor with a beautiful woman?

Fortunately, this was something Amelie had anticipated, which is why she deliberately dressed Julia to look very boyfriend-like today. Whenever someone tried to curry favor with her, Amelie would deliberately show affection to Julia.

Julia didn't think too much about it. She just knew that Emery was unusually delicate and dependent on her today, which gave her a lot of emotional value and made her very satisfied—although she didn't know how she protected her, she had finally protected Emery!

The young men and women were somewhat disappointed by Amelie's performance, but not too discouraged... They hadn't held much hope for success anyway, so if they couldn't be partners, they could be friends.

Emerald didn't show much indifference towards this; she would chat with almost everyone who came to visit her in a friendly manner. After all, those invited by the Vance Group were all wealthy and influential people in Sphinx, and they might need her sometime, so it was always good to maintain a friendly relationship.

Even emperors of feudal empires need to maintain good relations with their ministers and nobles. Moreover, Merson is not yet an emperor, and an overly domineering path cannot last long.

After the social activities, the movie will start at 6 pm.

The cinema where Emery is currently located will be showing the new movies "Deep Sea Voyage" and "Singing Girl" simultaneously, not just the one where Emery is currently located, but all of the more than 1,000 newly built Blue Star cinemas in the Vance Commercial Street of the entire Federation.

Promotional activities have been underway for some time, and many viewers have already purchased tickets in advance.

Emerald wasn't yet sure what reactions the films in other locations had elicited, and she needed to wait for further information. She only knew that the audience at her location seemed to enjoy "Kalevy" quite a bit, likely due to the strong foundation laid by the afternoon's musical performance.

Although the protagonist in "Kadoujinshi" uses a different name, many people can still recognize her prototype at a glance. She is the famous Kadoujinshi queen from many years ago, and her death is still a source of regret for many people.

Originally, after so many years, many people had almost forgotten about Su Linsha. Now, the new movie has reminded people of her and that mysterious case from back then.

Almost all viewers discussed the film after watching it, reminiscing about Su Linsha's former glory and making various speculations about the mystery of her demise.

It is foreseeable that during the release of the movie "Musical Girl", former queen of music and dance, Teresa, will definitely become a hot topic, especially after people learn that the lead actress of "Musical Girl" is Teresa's younger sister.

However, this happened a few days later. After watching the movie, Emery returned to Melson Estate with her family.

"Your performance today was very successful, I am very satisfied."

Emerald did not hold back her praise for Sulina and the girls in the choir, and she kept her promise:

"I'll reward you... Hmm, how about this, you all have the day off tomorrow. I'll have Sisi with you, and you can wander around Sphinx as you like... You can buy anything that's available directly from the mall, and Sisi will pay for it for you."

"Really?"

The girls immediately got excited. What girl doesn't love shopping? As long as they have the money, they won't get tired at all.

"of course it's true."

Emery chuckled and nodded:

"I know you all have some clothes or jewelry that you've had your eye on for a while, but you haven't been able to bring them home because you don't have the money... Let's go buy them all tomorrow."

"Great!"

The girls cheered, and some even excitedly hugged and nibbled on the food.

"...You spoil them a bit too much. I'm really worried that they might become spoiled."

Sulina gave Amelie a somewhat annoyed look, then glanced at the excited girls, but ultimately said nothing more.

"Senior, you get a reward too! And it's a big surprise!"

Emerald suddenly winked at Sulina, and said mysteriously:

"As for the specifics, we'll find out tomorrow... Remember to save all your time for me tomorrow, okay? I'm taking you on a date~~"

"Oh~~ Oh~~ A date! A date!"

The girls in the dance troupe immediately surrounded Sulina and started teasing her. Despite having been played with by Emery for a long time, Sulina became unusually shy, even angry and embarrassed, and grabbed her friends one by one.

Two consecutive days of intense training and an afternoon performance, even with divine blessing magic constantly restoring physical and mental energy, would still cause mental fatigue. Therefore, Amelie didn't contact Sulina tonight, letting Sulina and her friends get some rest.

Bobo and Lulu, the two little pink-haired girls who had been stood up by Emerald for two days, finally got their wish tonight and occupied their sister's room, pestering Emerald to tell them stories to lull them to sleep like when they were little.
