Ding ding ling ling ling...
Bai Ye brushed his fingers across the piano keys, nodding slightly as he listened, the tone not being a problem.
"I don't understand music well, nor do I have my own songs. Today, I will try to perform a song by Prince Ushio, and I hope you'll forgive my presumption."
Hearing Bai Ye's clear and cool voice, the girls in the R country were oblivious to whether Bai Ye could sing or not. Their faces turned red, and their eyes, filled with adoration, wandered between him and Prince Ushio, letting out charming squeals that made the men's hearts flutter.
Men who resented Bai Ye watched with cold eyes, their hearts filled with sarcastic mockery. How dare you show off in front of our Prince Ushio?
"Brother Ye~ Go for it!!" Zheng Jiao and Xu Sisi cheered, their faces flushed with excitement. The number of viewers in the live stream had already exceeded 300,000.
Some of Bai Ye's wealthy fans heard the news and entered their live stream, generously gifting thousands upon thousands of virtual gifts. So far, they had received nearly 100,000 Great Xia Yuan in gift revenue.
This trip to R country not only didn't deplete their savings but also earned them a large sum! How could they not be excited?
In the live stream, hearing Bai Ye's words, especially the long-time fans, they all burst into laughter.
"Hahaha~ Brother Ye is being humble again!"
"Brother Ye means he knows a little, right? With just a little knowledge, he can get an annual salary of over 80 million! How can other professional singers stand it?"
"I finally understand! Every time Brother Ye is modest, there's always a 'big move' coming! Brothers, get ready to watch!"
[Aristotle is wicked sent Carnival x5]: "Little streamer. Are you not eating or something? Shout louder for me, give Brother Ye some energy!"
[A Youth with Ideals sent Carnival x10]: "Little streamer, shout your lungs out for me, to the point of hoarseness!"
...
Eight thousand, fifteen thousand... Seeing the Carnivals appearing as if they were free, Zheng Jiao and Xu Sisi's eyes gleamed with gold. They shouted with all their might, their voices overpowering the entire venue.
"Brother Ye~ Go for it!"
Brother Ye?
Surprisingly, quite a few of the R country girls next to them also started shouting.
Bai Ye looked at them with surprise, then turned to Prince Ushio beside him and said with a smile, "Butter-fly."
Butter-fly, another famous song by Prince Ushio, was popular worldwide!
Prince Ushio smiled gently and slowly closed his eyes.
As Bai Ye's slender fingers moved across the piano keys, amidst the cheers of the little fangirls around him, an impassioned and stirring melody filled the air.
Hearing the familiar music, the surrounding exclamations grew even louder.
...
"Beyond the dreams that stretch infinitely"
"In such an ephemeral world"
"That is what makes it lovely..."
When Bai Ye opened his mouth, his clear voice sang along with the melody. Unlike Prince Ushio's gentle and tender voice, Bai Ye's singing was more likely to stir the blood.
On the scene, the surrounding audience was stunned.
"Ahhh!! He sings beautifully too!"
"If it weren't for Prince Ushio being right beside him, I would have thought he was the original singer!"
"This young man is so wicked! He's so good at it, yet he claims he can't sing... But I like it!"
...
This time, Zheng Jiao and Xu Sisi didn't need netizens to send gifts to cheer them on; they themselves screamed with genuine excitement. They even looked at the infatuated R country girls around them with pride. See? This is our Great Xia's national male idol!
In the live stream, seeing the excited R country people on the scene, the netizens in Great Xia were even more excited than them.
"Hahaha~ It's just a small scene, look how excited they are!"
"Brother Ye is truly amazing! He sings so well in R language... Although I don't know what he's singing! Haha!"
"It's over! This song was originally free, but now that Brother Ye has sung it, I smell the scent of it becoming paid..."
On the scene, the live stream continued to be lively and sensational. Prince Ushio on the side slightly opened his eyes and glanced at Bai Ye, a look of amusement and a hint of excitement on his face, then closed his eyes again to listen quietly.
Meanwhile, at the Prime Minister's Official Residence.
R country's Prime Minister Kōyō Ogura, along with several cabinet ministers, looked displeased as they watched the on-site video secretly filmed by the investigators.
One minister couldn't help but say, "Prime Minister, look, this frivolous fellow will completely ignore what we say..."
However, when this minister spoke, no other minister responded to him. Prime Minister Kōyō Ogura even gave him a stern glance.
He warned in a cold voice, "No discussion on any topic related to Prince Ushio!"
"Yes!"
The minister shrunk his head.
The atmosphere became awkward and silent. Seeing no one speaking, the Deputy Chief of the Cabinet Secretariat sighed helplessly, "I wonder what Prince Ushio's attitude is in this... situation?"
Silence fell again. One by one, the ministers lowered their heads, suppressing their anger. Prince Ushio, who was above their cabinet, and even above the entire R country!
"Just in case, Prime Minister, I think it's necessary to ask another distinguished person to take action~"
The ministers all looked over. The Deputy Chief of the Cabinet Secretariat adjusted his glasses, "If that distinguished person is willing to intervene... with him bearing the pressure from Prince Ushio, then this matter will be much easier to handle!"
The ministers' hearts fluttered with excitement, and Prime Minister Kōyō Ogura's eyes flickered.
...
Asakusa Temple, small square coffee shop.
The song quickly finished, and the scene erupted in cheers and screams. The number of viewers in Zheng Jiao's live stream once surged to one million.
The various internet celebrities in Great Xia were all shocked. That enchanting person hadn't been streaming for days, so why was there still no traffic?
So, after investigating through various channels, they discovered Bai Ye's presence in a new streamer's live stream...
Clap clap~
Prince Ushio applauded and said with a smile, "Mr. Bai, your performance gave me a different feeling! Very impressive!"
"Not at all... It's because your song, Prince Ushio, is truly a classic!" Bai Ye was adept at mutual flattery.
"One more song?" Prince Ushio invited again.
"Okay!" Bai Ye responded heartily. Suddenly, inspiration struck him, and on a whim, he looked up and asked, "Can I cover your song "Kaze ni Naru"?"
