Chapter 31 Ode to a Beauty

It soon became quiet outside.

Jiang Qin was carefully applying her makeup.

Tonight, she received a new musical instrument, a guzheng.

So tonight I specially prepared some classical songs, and dressed in a classical style as well.

Beneath her delicate, wispy brows, her large, watery phoenix eyes seemed to hold a deep sorrow.

***
Inside the bar, many people had started live streaming.

It's obvious that everyone here today isn't here to appease her, but to see Jiang Qin.

Some were fans, some were just there to ride the wave of popularity, and others were eyeing Jiang Qin's spot as her partner.

Arrive at eight o'clock.

Wearing a pure black cheongsam, Jiang Qin sat in front of the guzheng and rose onto the stage.

Smoke began to fill the entire stage, making the whole scene seem as if it were in a valley.

The holographic background scenery also uses artificial mountains, flowing water, and pavilions.

Actually, Jiang Qin wanted to wear an ancient costume dress, but she couldn't buy that kind of dress in the interstellar world, so the cheongsam she was wearing was custom-made.

It was just a simple cutting and sewing; not even a single flower was embroidered.

Despite the simplicity of the design, she still managed to exude a sense of destiny when wearing it.

Her hair, which was tied up, was loosely styled with some strands flying around her ears due to the air circulation in the bar.

"Jiang Qin!"

In the noisy bar, a conspicuous bag suddenly shouted excitedly at her.

Following the sound, Jiang Qin saw a bright, colorful support sign.

Her name was written on it.

The one who shouted was a girl in a pink dress, the diamonds on which almost dazzled her eyes.

The girl was accompanied by two very handsome men, who were now protecting her with a helpless yet doting expression.

Wen Xueli became a fan of Jiang Qin immediately after watching the live stream.

Knowing she would be working tonight, the group specially traveled directly from a neighboring second-class planet by spaceship.

After arriving, they ordered a support sign.

Wen Xueli said that Jiang Qin should have everything that other singers have. Starting today, she will start following her idol. She will be Jiang Qin's first big fan!
Her partners are already used to her sudden, intense attraction to someone.

To make her happy, two people were specially arranged to accompany her on a journey across the stars.

Fortunately, Wen Xueli's liking for any celebrity, singer, or anchor is simply a matter of pure passion.

I didn't have any intention of developing any romantic relationship with him privately.

Therefore, her partners did not restrict her hobbies.

Even though it was a bit awkward in front of everyone, the two of them still didn't blame her.

Jiang Qin has always been good-natured towards people who like her, so she smiled and waved in response.

"Oh my god, Jiang Qin looks a little different today than she did during yesterday's live stream. She looks so pretty..."

"She looked good yesterday too, but her complexion was just terrible."

"Qi Yang, I like the dress she's wearing. Could you find out where she bought it and buy me a few?"

The man good-naturedly agreed.

He then looked at the female on the stage with a complicated expression, but quickly looked away.

The females sitting in the front booths were all amazed by Jiang Qin's makeup and styling, and they all asked where she bought her clothes, where she got her hair done, and about her makeup. Why did her eyebrows look so thin, yet not comical, but rather had an indescribable charm?

"The first song of the day is 'Ode to a Beauty'."

The lights went out, leaving only the holographic background projection on the stage illuminated by a hazy light.

"Blue sky with white clouds"

The water flows gently by the shore

Jade hands raise whip and the horse gallops.

The moon rises above the willow branches...

Those hands, as slender as green onion roots, gracefully turned and plucked the guzheng, producing a beautiful sound.

The more than 20,000 people in the bar were stunned.

At that moment, they seemed to see a woman from ancient times.

There is such a painting hanging in the museum.

So the woman in that painting was playing this instrument called the guzheng?
So this is what the guzheng sounds like...

"Beauties have always loved heroes"
A promise is a promise until the end.
The wind howled and thunder roared.

The melodious singing, the ancient and realistic scene projections, and the ethereal beauties made them seem as if they had traveled through a thousand years.

While everyone was immersed in this wonderful experience, they did not notice that in their mental sea, their spiritual bodies were also listening without moving.

The female, who initially disliked the dim and small moonlight, was now staring blankly at Jiang Qin.

All the previous agitation seemed to be soothed by a gentle breeze.

She now feels an urge, an urge to meet those talented men and beautiful women of ancient times.

Were all the females like Jiang Qin back then?
She has a melancholy face and a voice as beautiful as heavenly music.

"Beautiful women have always had tragic fates."
"Jade shatters and tiles remain, ascending the west tower."

***
"The lyrics are so beautiful, but there are a few lines that I don't quite understand. I'll have to go back and ask my grandfather."

"Wow, I thought the live stream was a pre-recorded recording, but I didn't expect her to sing even better live."

"I also think that it feels better to hear her sing live; the sound is distorted after the recording is done by that crappy live streaming device."

"She probably didn't use a live streaming device; it was likely the built-in camera and sound transmission from her personal computer."

"Wow, that's amazing! Just thinking about not being able to come and listen to their live performances often makes me feel like life is meaningless!"

Those netizens who couldn't attend the event were also curious about what would happen next.

After all, people are just following the gossip, and many will continue to pay attention to the person who posted the gossip, hoping to get even more explosive revelations later.

It was precisely because of this popularity that those nearby livestreamers rushed to Moonlight Bar without hesitation.

Otherwise, who would be so free as to travel so far to drink inhibitors? There are bars nearby, and even if there aren't, they can order them online.

So the dozen or so people currently live streaming are also having a very lively time in their live streams.

[Another new song! What genre can't Jiang Qin sing?]

What are those entertainment companies doing? Instead of bringing this talent into the music industry, they keep her singing in this run-down bar—it's such a waste.
[Exactly, you guys really have no idea what the music scene in our Federation is like!]

[You all know that our music industry has always had a strange sense of self-confidence; I guess they look down on someone like Jiang Qin.]
Lan Yuyan: ...Is it because I don't want to? It's because I can't even add a personal computer account...

[But don't you think Jiang Qin went too far?]

Are males' star coins so easy to earn? Why should they be exempt from appeasement just because they sing a song?

If it weren't for purging the riot value, who would be willing to go to a bar?
If you want to sing, go into the entertainment industry and become a singer. If you're working in a bar, you should stick to being a comforter and not try to be in the spotlight.
