Happy times always pass by quickly, as if the flow of time changes depending on people’s emotions.

The delightful days of the Holy Blood Festival seemed endless, but alas, amidst the day-by-day revelry, time has reached the festival’s closing day.

Early this morning, the several stages set up in the city square were dismantled after the final performances, leaving the townsfolk—young and old—with a sense of regret.

Especially today’s “Exotic Fashion Show” by the Silver Moon Group, which truly pulled off a grand finale.

Lady Shui, the genius designer, showcased the twenty-seven outfits most beloved by everyone during the past nine days in a “limited-time comeback” performance today.

“Extravagant competition of beauty” doesn’t even begin to describe the spectacle; the crowds lining the stage shouted enthusiastically from start to finish.

Some vibrant young men even got nosebleeds on the spot.

There wasn’t any need to survey which outfit was most popular; the cheers and applause made it clear that even the Transia People share the same understanding of “beauty” as men from other worlds.

It’s actually quite a “tragic” outcome.

Because, unsurprisingly, Lady Shui discovered that men everywhere, regardless of the world, are fond of black—and the less fabric there is, the more they like it.

Oh, the tragedy!

It seems the locals still have a long way to go in appreciating higher standards of “beauty.”

However, to Lady Shui’s consolation, the legendary Palano Knight, embodying the “True Love Knight” myth across the continent, watched the entire fashion show and gave exceptionally high praise.

The Golden Knight even awarded the performers appearing on the final day with the “Everlasting Midnight Rose,” a remarkable artifact.

As the name suggests, this radiant flower remains in full bloom under any circumstance, a treasure that could never naturally occur in the world.

Even more astonishing is that this bouquet—carrying the Rose Knight’s admiration for beauty—is also a rare “artifact-grade equipment.” Though it doesn’t fall within traditional equipment categories, wearing it permanently increases Spiritual Energy recovery speed by 10%.

Such lavish generosity.

Thus, at the final curtain performance, Lady Shui invited the Palano Knight to join them in “walking the runway.”

She carefully selected three outfits from the otherworldly classics for the Rose Knight, ranging from a sleek and dignified black military uniform, to a culturally rich classic trench coat with a workman’s cap, and finally to the cryptic, dark mafia ensemble.

These designs, all showcasing maximum male charisma, earned endless admiration from the Palano Knight, who happily took the stage alongside the beauties he had discovered over the span of ten days.

The unanimous approval of the audience followed.

After all, while an average handsome man might incite envy from other men, being “too handsome” transforms such envy into awe and appreciation.

The Silver Moon Group’s fashion show was undoubtedly one of the most surprising performances during the Holy Blood Festival, but other stages were not without their highlights.

The Big Bird Team’s “Ten Days of Nonstop Comedy Performances,” though far less popular in terms of audience turnout than the fashion show, still drew a significant impact by bringing at least 1,500 general believers to the Avalon Church over the ten days—a result that deeply pleased Father Old Eugene.

He even shed tears in front of the saintly statue.

In a personal gesture, he selected some durable, high-quality components from his old combat gear to gift the “missionaries” of the Big Bird Team.

Combined with the tips they received from their captivating comedy acts,

Brother Meow estimated they had made quite a fortune, although the exact earnings remained uncertain—they definitely didn’t suffer a loss.

Old Huo’s charity gambling championship crowned its ultimate winner at midnight yesterday.

Major Ron from the Goldenrod Kingdom unsurprisingly became Transylvania’s first-ever “Charity Gambling King”!

He earned a 36-month Gold VIP membership at the Treasure Bay Casino, though naturally he couldn’t actually work in the casino under Old Huo.

But that hardly mattered since the runner-up, third-place winner, and even the remaining five semi-finalists were heavily recruited by Treasure Bay as “service personnel.”

The inclusion of this batch of veteran gamblers promises enhanced organization in Old Huo’s casino and village development, along with innovations suited to the “local baby physiques.”

The most lackluster performance came from the student team’s concert stage…

Otherworldly pop music struggled to find an audience locally, leaving the students largely self-entertained.

However, the good news was that player groups had a fairly high acceptance of this—a few players with great singing skills performed during the festival’s final days.

The self-entertainment dynamic wasn’t entirely bad; despite the lack of rewards, at least everyone enjoyed themselves.

At last night’s closing concert, Old Chen was pushed onto the stage by his apprentices to sing “Unforgettable Tonight,” earning thunderous applause.

Meanwhile, Niu Niu’s rendition of “Heartfelt Lover,” was interrupted midway by audiences unwilling to tolerate the cheesy romance, though it didn’t matter, as Ambo was deeply moved regardless.

In that sense, nobody truly missed out.

Though the stages have now been dismantled and the Blood Vulture sculpture of the Thorn Clan begins to melt in the square, the festive atmosphere in the city remains undiminished.

Especially after lunch, the square is not only as lively as before—it’s even more crowded!

Everyone knows the festival’s grand finale event, the “Governor’s Challenge,” will feature its final showdown this afternoon.

This epic battle is enough to spark the last wave of anticipation among the residents after ten days of celebration.

They see this chaotic melee as the perfect conclusion to this year’s Holy Blood Festival.
