The Youth Singing Competition continued, but Lin Hai could no longer bring himself to listen.
He was now just waiting for Liu Xinyue to get on stage quickly, to see if the method he had in mind could wake Liu Shan.
Although this method was somewhat risky—and if it went wrong, Liu Xinyue might lose her chance at the championship—it might be the only hope to wake Liu Shan.
So when he told Liu Xinyue about it, she agreed without any hesitation.
If it could wake her father, what was a Youth Singing Competition championship worth?
Besides, having learned the Moon Palace Immortal Melody singing technique, even so, it wasn’t certain she couldn’t still win the championship.
“Please welcome the next contestant, Luo Feng. Her competition piece is ‘Itch’!” After announcing, Li Yue smiled and walked off the stage.
At the same time, a young woman with a strange getup and a somewhat sharp, unkind-looking face walked onto the stage.
“All of you, prick up your ears and listen carefully. What comes next will be the most beautiful song you’ve ever heard in your lives—bar none. Please cherish it. And you judges, don’t get so stunned you forget to give me a high score after listening. I want to win this championship.”
Pfft!
Luo Feng’s opening remarks almost made Lin Hai spit out his drink. Too bizarre.
Damn, was this a brain-dead contestant?
Sure enough, as soon as Luo Feng finished speaking, the entire stadium burst into laughter.
“Where did this idiot come from? What a braggart.”
“Something wrong with her brain. She shouldn’t give up on treatment.”
“Hurry up and get off the stage. Don’t embarrass yourself here.”
The audience joined in with a chorus of catcalls.
The judges exchanged glances, their faces caught between laughing and crying.
Truly, there’s a clown every year, but this year there are especially many. Was she planning to attract attention with bizarre remarks and use that to become famous?
The judges all shook their heads, disdainful expressions on their faces.
This kind of crooked, backdoor way of becoming famous relied not on talent. Even if she became popular, people would treat her as a joke. It might bring some fame in the short term, but in the long run, her reputation would be ruined, and she’d end up as nothing more than a clown.
Hearing the audience’s mocking words and seeing the disdainful, sarcastic expressions on their faces, Luo Feng snorted coldly in her heart.
“Hmph, I know none of you believe me. But reality will show you just how foolish your current behavior is—because you have mocked a rising superstar.”
“Ha!” Luo Feng’s words immediately set off another round of laughter.
“Fatty Wang, this person’s thick skin is a match for yours,” Liu Liang turned to Wang Peng and said with a strange smile.
“Screw you. My skin is thin as paper,” Wang Peng glared and cursed.
“What kind of paper? Toilet paper? Is your face multi-functional?” Lin Hai joked from the side.
“Hahaha!” The roommates all burst out laughing.
“Hai, how did you learn to be bad from them too? Truly, you become black when near ink! You bunch of bad people, all of you are bad people!” Wang Peng said angrily to his fair-weather friends.
“He Yun, don’t listen to their nonsense. My skin is really thin—so thin that I blush and my face burns just talking to a girl. If you don’t believe me, feel it—it’s burning hot.” Wang Peng smiled sleazily and turned to He Yun.
“Ew—” The roommates immediately booed at Wang Peng. “If you want to take advantage of her, just say so. He Yun, don’t fall for this fat pig’s tricks.”
“Giggle.” He Yun didn’t say anything, just covered her mouth and laughed.
“Hmph, I hate you all, I hate you all to death!” Wang Peng glared angrily. “You just love tormenting single dogs. I curse you—when you do it, you forget the condom, when you’re done, you forget the pill, and your kid comes out crying wah-wah!”
Pfft!
Lin Hai nearly sprayed his drink. Damn, this fat pig really had a way with words.
“Bah!” The roommates’ girlfriends all blushed and lightly spat at Wang Peng, giving him dirty looks.
Meanwhile, on stage, Luo Feng glanced around at everyone present from the corner of her eye, then arrogantly tilted her chin up at the sound engineer.
“Hmph, I can’t be bothered to waste words on you ordinary mortals. Strength proves everything. Start the music.”
The sound engineer curled his lip. Although disdainful in his heart, he still played the accompaniment for “Itch.”
“Come on, let’s have fun—there’s plenty of time. Come on, love—there’s plenty of passion…”
As soon as Luo Feng opened her mouth, the crowd—who had been whispering and mocking just moments before—shuddered as if electrocuted. Then everyone fell silent, looking at Luo Feng with incredulous eyes.
The judges were also stunned, then looked at the stage with astonishment.
On stage, Luo Feng kept twisting her body, an expression of intoxicated longing on her face that instantly set people’s imaginations running wild.
“Come on, let’s wander—there’s plenty of direction. Come on, let’s be bold—there’s plenty of scenery…”
As Luo Feng sang with abandon, everyone in the stadium could no longer sit still. One by one, their faces twisted as they began swaying their bodies. A few bold, tough women even stuck their hands into their clothes and scratched vigorously.
“Holy crap, I’m dying of itchiness. He Yun, help me scratch my back—I can’t reach it myself.” Wang Peng twisted his fat body and said slyly to He Yun beside him.
“Bah, no way!” He Yun, also unbearably itchy all over, blushed and laughed as she scolded Wang Peng.
As Luo Feng sang, she observed the reactions of the audience and judges. When she saw them all itching uncontrollably, completely infected by her singing, she felt a wave of disdain in her heart.
“Ordinary mortals. I only used fifty percent of my power, and you can’t sit still already. If I don’t win the championship after this, there’d be no justice in heaven.”
“Hm?” When Luo Feng’s gaze fell on Lin Hai, she was stunned.
This person wasn’t affected by her singing at all. How strange.
But why were his big eyes staring straight at her, wide open like that?
At that moment, Lin Hai was completely shocked by Luo Feng’s singing. A stormy sea had already been stirred up in his heart!
“Moon Palace Immortal Melody—her singing technique is the Moon Palace Immortal Melody!” A voice kept repeating in Lin Hai’s mind.
How was this possible?
The Moon Palace Immortal Melody was Chang’e’s exclusive singing technique. In this world, besides himself and Xinyue, no one else knew it. So where did this Luo Feng come from, and why did she know this immortal singing technique?
However, Lin Hai also noticed that Luo Feng’s Moon Palace Immortal Melody was very crude. Not only was it incomparable to what Chang’e had sent him, but it was also considerably inferior to the Jade Rabbit handwritten copy he had learned from.
But no matter what, even if crude, Lin Hai could tell—Luo Feng’s singing technique was definitely the Moon Palace Immortal Melody, without a doubt!
“What on earth is going on?” Lin Hai frowned deeply. He felt things were getting complicated.
“Hmph, wake up now, ordinary mortals. I’ve finished singing!” At some point, Luo Feng had finished her song and was shouting at the audience.
“Ah, please have the judges score Luo Feng!” Li Yue, who had been leaning against the stage pillar rubbing her back vigorously, finally came to her senses. The itching on her body immediately disappeared, and she quickly put on a professional smile and addressed the judges.
The judges also stopped twisting their bodies. Their faces were full of shock as they lowered their heads and wrote down Luo Feng’s score on their scoring boards.
“Now, judges, please show your scores!”
