Lan Shaoyu had his suspicions, but he wasn’t entirely sure.
He couldn’t understand why Long Hao would choose Jiang Qin.
His target had always seed to be Jiang Qin, but Lan Shaoyu was still doubtful, afraid it was just a diversion.
"Actually, following this guy isn’t so bad. We even got to use our special privileges to sneak in and hear Miss Jiang Qing sing."
There were plenty of people outside who couldn’t get in even if they had the money.
Long Hao had long known the Federation had people tailing him. He felt their constant gazes but was completely unfazed.
’They’re free bodyguards, after all. It would be a waste not to use them.’
After he downed five consecutive bottles of Inhibitors, Jiang Qin finally took the stage.
Tonight, she wore a deep blue dress that was rather sexy.
The dress looked like it was pieced together from several strips of fabric.
The top consisted of two strips of fabric crossing into a deep V, revealing a sliver of her fair skin.
The bottom half was similarly composed of several strips, sexy without risking any wardrobe malfunctions.
Jiang Qin rarely wore dresses like this, so a collective gasp swept through the bar.
Afraid of being overheard, the won only dared to exclaim in hushed voices, "AHHHH, Qin Bao is drop-dead gorgeous tonight!"
"I can’t take it, I’m getting a nosebleed! SOB SOB... Her back is so beautiful, her legs are so fair, her hands are so perfect."
"Even though there are no ugly Beastn, Qin Bao’s beauty seems to be on a whole other level. She practically glitters in a crowd."
"I seriously can’t find a single flaw on Qin Bao..."
Wen Xueli whispered to Wen Jiaqi, "How do you think Qin Bao manages to be so slim yet so curvy?"
She looked so slender, yet in this rather sexy dress, she had the most perfect curves.
While breasts could be artificial, one look at their Qin Bao and you could tell she was all-natural.
Wen Jiaqi didn’t know. All she wanted to do was keep recording.
Under everyone’s stunned gazes, Jiang Qin began to play the piano for the first ti in a long while.
"This song is called ’rmaid.’"
The large holographic screen in the background began to play a video telling the story of a rmaid.
The surroundings were transford into a Deep Sea landscape.
"I draw a circle in the sand
A peaceful world for just us two
No need to connect with anyone else
I don’t care if you’re from the abyss
And I don’t mind the scales on your skin..."
There were no rmaid love stories in the Interstellar era, but the background video had one.
The song was accompanied by a complete story.
Only Jiang Qin could give them the feeling of witnessing a story unfold before their very eyes just by listening to a song.
"Legend says for love you were willingly Stranded
I too can dive into the Sea for you..."
In the Star Network’s livestream of the Moonlight Bar, a crowd of fans who couldn’t be there in person were stunned by the beauty of Jiang Qin, who was now enveloped in holographic seawater.
Among them were fans of Yue Ji.
For so unknown reason, the network barrier between the Empire and the Federation hadn’t been imdiately reinstated after the recent cha competition.
So, netizens from both nations could still watch each other’s streaming platforms.
After Jiang Qin’s duet with Yue Ji the other day, many of Yue Ji’s fans had taken an instant liking to Jiang Qin.
So, as soon as they heard there was a livestream of her singing, they imdiately joined.
Seeing the holographic Deep Sea scenery on stage and hearing the song’s title, Yue Ji’s fans were touched:
[Miss Jiang must have written this song for our Yue Ji, right? She’s too kind.]
[You were Stranded for love, I’ll enter the Sea for you. That line is so moving!]
[It’s a sha they’re both female, or I’d be shipping them like crazy.]
[I’m going to tell our Yue Ji to co listen! See if there’s a chance to buy the performance rights for this song.]
[Great idea, go on!]
[The lyrics and title are a perfect match. A Jiang Qin production never disappoints.]
...
When the song ended, Spiritual Bodies were scattered throughout the bar.
There was a big cat lounging under a table, a rainbow-colored fish floating in mid-air, a patterned snake swaying its body, and a fox perched on a custor’s head.
Everyone was quite friendly toward these Spiritual Bodies—or more accurately, they were filled with longing.
The n yearned to gain their favor, hoping one would stay by their side for even a mont.
The regulars knew that these Spiritual Bodies, out to play, circulated Calming Power.
The longer you spent with them, the more your Riot Value would decrease.
But the one everyone coveted most was Jiang Qin’s Spiritual Body.
The white rabbit that glowed with a faint golden light.
But the little rabbit never approached anyone. When excited, it would dash around the bar a few tis; when calm, it would only stay by Jiang Qin’s side.
It would occasionally play with the Spiritual Bodies of other females, but it never went near the males.
The only ones who could embrace it were Jiang Qin’s few partners.
Long Hao overheard the discussions around him and looked at the white rabbit on stage with an expression of absolute certainty.
’Hmph, I’ll be able to hold it sooner or later!’
’And not just the rabbit.’
Gazing at the captivating woman on stage, Long Hao felt like he was going insane.
The blood in his veins was boiling, roaring, demanding he possess her!
’As for his promise not to pester her... that was made by the Third Prince of the Empire a few days ago. What does that have to do with Long Hao, the Federation’s future son-in-law?’
After "rmaid," Jiang Qin’s second song of choice was "Big Fish."
That’s right. Tonight’s songs were all about fish.
Ever since she returned from Neptune, her dreams had been filled with all sorts of fish, especially rmaids.
They were so beautiful, so dreamlike.
Her ethereal voice once again filled the bar.
"The silent waves drown the deep night
Spilling over the corners at the edge of the sky
A big fish swims through the cracks in a dream
Gazing at the contours of your sleeping form..."
Although both were ballads, they had completely different feelings.
"rmaid" was passionate, while "Big Fish" felt more like stillness.
Just monts ago, people had been whispering praises, but now everyone had fallen silent.
It was as if they were afraid that speaking would disturb the person on stage, who was lost in the emotion of the song.
And they, too, were drawn into that sa emotion.
After listening, they even felt a little heavy-hearted.
Finally, it was ti for the last song, titled: "I’m a Fish."
The custors, who had been feeling a bit lancholic, couldn’t help but laugh again.
"Is this a side effect of Qin Bao coming back from Neptune? Why is it all fish tonight?"
"But to be able to create so many songs in different styles using fish as a the... Qin Bao is just too amazing."
"It makes want to take a trip to Neptune. After all, Qin Bao was only there for a few days and got so much inspiration. You can just imagine how beautiful it must be."
"Good thing I got in tonight. I have so much new material. I’ve already thought of the title for my post tomorrow: ’Jiang Qin and the Fish.’"
After the sound of ocean waves faded in, Jiang Qin began to sing the final song of the night:
"Can I please not think of you
I need to pull myself together
The weather in July, August, September
Is like you and I needing a downpour..."
