Chapter 306: The Sound of Nature (Part 2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Liu Sanniang closed her eyes. Her lips moved as she softly started to chant the scriptures.
Every word she chanted was filled with power and collided with Miao Yin’s singing. When the scriptures entered everyone’s ears, they could not help but open their eyes.
There were two voices in their ears, which displeased them.
“Who’s chanting? Shut up. I want to hear Miss Miao Yin sing. If you want to chant, get lost.”
They were not in the mood for some incomprehensible scriptures. When the two voices collided, it was extremely jarring. Everyone felt uncomfortable and could not suppress their anger.
Miao Yin did not stop singing. She tried to bring people back to the utopia she created, but the chanting was still there. This made Miao Yin very annoyed. She gave the crowd a sweeping glance before landing her eyes on Liu Sanniang. Her eyes darkened and flashed with ruthlessness. Miao Yin suddenly raised her voice in a bid to send people into intoxication again.
She started to sing with all her might and stopped dancing. Her eyes were locked on Liu Sanniang.
Liu Sanniang’s chanting was drowned out by Miao Yin’s voice.
But Liu Sanniang did not stop either. Her voice was calm as she chanted the scriptures again and again. However, every word she chanted was instantly washed away.
Everyone was once again brought back to the pure land.
As time passed, Miao Yin was already exhausted and could not sing anymore. No one noticed what she was singing. Anyway, no matter what she sang, these people would think that it sounded good.
Miao Yin’s voice became sharp. She was extremely annoyed. The scripture that Liu Sanniang chanted did not change at all.
The sharp voice came straight at Liu Sanniang with killing intent. If Liu Sanniang could not counter her attack, she would be deafened.
Liu Sanniang looked at Miao Yin with an unchanged expression. She chanted the scriptures word by word, making Miao Yin’s mind fill up with a buzzing sound, but Miao Yin did not stop.
Gradually, Miao Yin’s face turned a little pale. She couldn’t hold on anymore. People couldn’t hear the scriptures, but she could. She thought that she could easily suppress the scriptures, but she didn’t expect it to be so difficult.
She stared fixedly at Liu Sanniang.
When Liu Sanniang met Miao Yin’s gaze, she smiled and suddenly sped up her chanting.
Miao Yin was caught off guard, and the voice that originally sounded beautiful became jarring.
Immediately, someone covered his ears and shouted. “Damn, who the f*ck is screaming? I’m going deaf.”
“Ahhh, my ears hurt.”
“Where’s Miss Miao Yin? We want to hear her voice.”
“Damn it, who’s causing trouble? Who’s chanting and screaming. I’m going deaf.”
Many people felt their ears hurt when they heard the jarring voice.
Miao Yin had already taken the opportunity to leave the stage. The bawd rubbed her ears and went on stage to explain. “Miss Miao Yin is tired today. She will continue to sing tomorrow night. If you haven’t had enough, you can stay and listen to Miss Fang Yu sing instead.”
Although people were dissatisfied, they did not make a fuss. They took out some taels and started to tip.
The servant girls walked between the tables with trays to receive the tips.
Everyone praised Miao Yin’s singing voice and called it the sound of nature.
The bawd couldn’t stop smiling. Without needing to sell her body, Miao Yin could earn buckets of taels every night.
For a time, Yuqiong Pavilion was taken as an elegant place rather than a brothel. Many children of rich families came because of its reputation and were generous.
The servant girl came to Liu Sanniang. “Thank you, Miss. Thank you, Young Master. Thank you, Master.”
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “You don’t have to thank me. I’m not going to tip.”
The servant girl was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief, “Miss, why are you so stingy? Miss Miao Yin’s singing is unparalleled. It doesn’t matter how much you tip. Miss Miao Yin has never cared about the amount. What she cares about is whether people respect her performance.”
The servant girl was obviously Miao Yin’s trusted aide. She couldn’t stand Liu Sanniang’s behavior.
Many people also looked at Liu Sanniang, Wei Shilai, and Chu Yan.
Mu Kun looked at Wei Shilai and mocked. “Minister Wei, how can you still be so stingy in face of such a beautiful voice?”
Wei Shilai frowned. Sitting next to Liu Sanniang, he could naturally hear her chanting. Miao Yin’s voice was beautiful at first, but later, it turned into a ghostly wail. In the end, it was even extremely jarring, but the rest of the people remained intoxicated.
Before he could speak, Liu Sanniang said, “Why should I tip someone with such a horrible voice?”
“Nonsense. Miss Miao Yin’s voice is angelic. How can it be horrible? There’s no one in the world who sounds better than her.”
“That’s right. Listening to Miss Miao Yin’s song, I feel so elated. It’s like I’m in a fairyland. How can her voice be horrible?”
When people recalled that beautiful scene, they were reluctant to leave it. When they heard someone slandering Miao Yin, they naturally couldn’t tolerate it.
“Miss Liu, why are you so hostile towards Miss Miao Yin? Last time at the Third Prince’s mansion, you wrongly accused Miss Miao Yin. I thought that you had already left the capital in shame. I didn’t expect to see you here, continuing to slander her.”
Jing Yun came down from upstairs and shouted at Liu Sanniang angrily. After he finished speaking, everyone understood that this was not the first time Liu Sanniang had accused Miao Yin.
Jing Mu walked beside Jing Yun and did not speak. He only glanced at Liu Sanniang.
“Master Jing Yun, what do you mean? Has this girl met Miss Miao Yin before?”
People compared Miao Yin’s singing to the sound of nature. Naturally, they could not put up with it when someone was slandering her.
Jing Yun told the crowd in detail what happened in the Third Prince’s mansion, which made everyone furious.
“Damn it, I’m going to teach her a lesson today and seek justice for Miss Miao Yin.”
The bawd hurriedly came out. “Everyone, calm down. There must be a misunderstanding. Miss Miao Yin’s singing is unparalleled in the world. It’s normal for people to be jealous. Miss Miao Yin is kind hearted. She doesn’t want you to fight and argue.”
