When Bai Ye landed safely on the ground with Zheng Xin in his arms, the fire door behind them slowly extinguished. Other than some scorched marks, the ground showed no other abnormalities.
He put her down, and a mysterious smile tugged at the corner of Bai Ye’s lips.
“Didn’t I tell you?”
Zheng Xin nodded, her face a mixture of surprise and joy. Knowing her time with Bai Ye was coming to an end, her heart fluttered with excitement. With a surge of determination, she lunged forward, intending to embrace Bai Ye and share a kiss that would make billions of girls envious.
“Damn it all!”
“Shut up!”
“You little vixen, let go of Brother Ye, let me!”
The girls present erupted in a frenzy, while those in the livestream desperately wished they could cross the internet to stop her. The boys, on the other hand, looked on with envy.
“Brother Ye, you are our role model!”
Feeling the overwhelming pressure from Zheng Xin in his arms, her face filled with adoration as she leaned in to kiss him, Bai Ye’s mysteriously confident smile faltered, replaced by a look of surprise.
“This young lady is truly… a handful!”
After a momentary hesitation, just as Zheng Xin was about to kiss him, Bai Ye’s entire body dissolved into a flurry of playing cards, scattering in all directions.
“Wow!”
“Hahaha, Brother Ye, I love you!”
“Hmph! You little vixen, trying to sneak an advantage on Brother Ye? No way!”
The girls around cheered.
Many of the boys, however, stared blankly, their expressions stunned.
“No way, Brother Ye rejected such a perfect, slightly plump girl throwing herself at him?”
“Some have too much, others starve?”
Livestream chat:
“I suspect Brother Ye… is he unable?”
“Brother Ye, my family deals in various animal kidneys, want me to send some over to help you out?”
A chorus of teasing from the perverts.
Zheng Xin stared at the handful of playing cards in her hand, her previously excited and dazed expression freezing.
Hearing the gasps from the surroundings, she looked up towards the stage. Bai Ye’s figure emerged from the scattering cards.
“Hmph, you cowardly stinky brother.”
She glared at Bai Ye with a hint of resentment, then gathered her cards and returned to her seat. Seeing the envious glances from the other girls, and recalling her performance with Bai Ye earlier, a smile of excitement gradually reappeared on her face.
“This stinky brother is quite sensible, giving me a reward for the gifts I showered him with? Ten million is nothing, you won’t escape me next time.”
At this point, Bai Ye had been performing for nearly an hour.
“Finally, I’ll perform one last small magic trick for everyone, the Dance of Ice and Fire, as a dancer for tonight’s concert’s main star!”
“Dance of Ice and Fire?”
“The concert’s main star? Oh! Tonight is a concert!”
“Qianqian is coming out!”
Hearing Bai Ye’s voice, the audience grew excited yet a little sad, as Bai Ye’s words signaled the end of this magical and spectacular epic performance.
Amidst the cheers and attention of the crowd, Bai Ye’s body once again floated to the stage ceiling.
Suddenly, the stage lit up with a fiery glow, and everyone craned their necks, their mouths agape.
“Wow!”
On either side of Bai Ye, a sea of fire spread horizontally, while a realm of ice and snow condensed, resembling a mirror.
Simultaneously, two giants, one male and one female, emerged from the fiery and icy mirrored surfaces. The man was powerfully built, and the woman was enchantingly curvaceous, both standing seven to eight meters tall.
Having mastered the basic laws of space, Bai Ye’s control over fire and ice magic reached an exquisite level. Of course, the fire and ice giants beside him were merely basic formations of flame and frost, their power unchanged.
The fiery wings he had condensed earlier were similar; they had the form but relied entirely on basic spatial power for flight. However, these were more than enough to dazzle the audience!
Bai Ye, clad in a white magician’s costume, hovered between the shoulders of the ice and fire giants.
Gazing at the cheering and excited audience below, a smile played on Bai Ye’s lips.
“Next, please welcome our lead singer, Song Qianqian!”
As Bai Ye’s voice fell, the stage was illuminated with the most brilliant lights. Atmospheric fog spewed from various points.
Song Qianqian, dressed in a pink sleeveless mini-dress, walked out slowly, her figure graceful and svelte, her curves alluring.
“Qianqian!”
“Goddess! Goddess!!”
“Goddess, you are so beautiful!”
The audience below erupted in cheers once more, the boys’ shouts finally overpowering the girls’!
At the same time, the production crew’s photographers sprang into action, their cameras shifting their focus to Song Qianqian.
Song Qianqian, with a sweet smile on her face, waved to Bai Ye and then greeted the audience.
“Thank you everyone for coming to my joint concert with Brother Ye. I can see you’re all having a very happy and exciting night.”
“Next, I will perform a new song for you, ‘Promise Beneath the Cherry Blossom Tree,’ with Brother Ye as my dance partner. I hope it brings you even more joy!”
The audience below was once again in a frenzy.
“I still vividly remember the last joint concert between Brother Ye and Qianqian! I’m so excited for this collaboration!”
“Honestly, Brother Ye and Qianqian are such a perfect match! *Sniffle*… I have no chance!”
“Let’s start, let’s start!”
“Let’s go, let’s go! Quickly!”
Amidst the cheers, the music accompaniment gently began, spreading throughout the venue.
Bathed in the dazzling lights, Song Qianqian felt the rhythm of the music and picked up the microphone.
“dadadadadadada”
“dadadadadadada”
“Who rode horses drunk, my cry reaching to the ends of the horizon?”
“Who conjured beautiful melodies, my fingers dancing with elegance?”
Her familiar sweet yet powerful voice rang out, instantly brightening the eyes of everyone in the audience. They found it so beautiful that their ears felt as if they were about to get pregnant.
More excitingly, the ice and fire giants manipulated by Bai Ye in the air danced perfectly in time with the music.
The two massive figures were so clear that even spectators outside the plaza and in the tall buildings could see them without telescopes!
“It’s so beautiful!”
“Qianqian’s singing is heavenly! Brother Ye’s magic is also incredible!”
“Oh my god! Are Brother Ye and Qianqian destined by heaven? A match made in heaven, *sob*…”
The song and dance sent the entire venue into a frenzy.
Many famous celebrities, such as Lun Lun, nodded in approval.
Song Qianqian still lacked some polish in her vocal technique, but her distinctive voice and beautiful, cute appearance were enough to compensate.
What truly captivated these stars, however, was Bai Ye’s magic! They stared intently as the two giant ice and fire figures danced in the air!
“If, hypothetically, the lead singer of this concert were them, and Bai Ye were to perform alongside, they were confident they could create the most magnificent and grandest concert extravaganza in the world!”
“I wonder, what would it cost to invite him?”
“What conditions did Tianlan Entertainment Company offer him?”
Thus, the celebrities began privately inquiring with their respective companies!
“The road is long, I want you to accompany me back to the past”
“Just like this, guarding the promise”
“Let it follow me to the end of the years”
At the end of the song, the two giants in the air, one ice and one fire, embraced each other before transforming into flickering flames and shattered ice, slowly disappearing into the sky.
The audience erupted in cheers, many girls with tears in their eyes. The hint of melancholy in the song and dance had deeply moved them.
Bai Ye’s figure then transformed into a shower of playing cards, drifting down onto the stage, reappearing beside Song Qianqian.
“You sang very well.”
“Thank you, Brother Ye!”
Seeing the audience’s enthusiastic cheers, a radiant smile lit up Song Qianqian’s face.
“Next, the stage is yours. Good luck!”
Bai Ye adjusted his magician’s hat, preparing to teleport away.
“Brother Ye, wait.”
Song Qianqian suddenly reached out and stopped him.
“༼cap;bull;́omega;bull;̀cap;༽ Wow!”
“In front of everyone, (/≧▽≦)/ what are you doing?!”
“Is Qianqian going to confess publicly?”
All eyes were fixed on the two figures close together on the big screen, shining brightly.
If she confessed and succeeded, it would undoubtedly be the headline news for all major media outlets tomorrow.
Unfortunately, Bai Ye had already turned off his microphone, and Song Qianqian lowered her mic, speaking softly. They couldn’t hear a thing.
“Let’s guess wildly, they’re starting to stir up a fuss.”
“Be together!”
“Qianqian, take down Brother Ye!”
On stage.
“Brother Ye, my grandfather will want to talk to you about some things later. But don’t worry, my grandfather is a very nice person, he won’t force you.”
“???”
Bai Ye looked confused.
“Why would your grandfather want to see me?”
“I don’t think I’ve done anything to you yet, have I?? As for family members??”
Seeing the suspicion in Bai Ye’s eyes and hearing the cheers from the audience, Song Qianqian’s face blushed. If they stayed like this any longer, the second half of the concert might not be able to proceed.
“It’s about important matters! You’ll know later, just don’t worry. If he dares to bully you, tell me!!”
“Okay! You should go now.”
Bai Ye, somewhat bewildered, shook his head and smiled.
Then, his entire body rapidly condensed into ice, instantly forming an ice sculpture.
The next moment, a gust of wind blew, and his body disintegrated into fine powder, vanishing from the stage, leaving behind a stunned Song Qianqian and cheering audience.
He teleported to the lounge. As he was changing, he received a mysterious yet familiar text message.
From Zhongyang:
“Meet in the lounge.”
Song Qianqian’s grandfather! Is he part of Zhongyang???
Bai Ye instantly understood what was happening.
