30: Chapter 30: Jiang Feng's a cappella rendition stunned the entire audience.

"Since we are having a competition, shouldn't there be some stakes?" Jiang Feng said with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Stakes? What kind of stakes do you want?" Zhang Xiaochen narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Feng.

Why was this kid not afraid at all, and even wanted to gamble with him? Could it be that this kid was playing the pig to eat the tiger?

However, Zhang Xiaochen quickly dismissed this thought.

Even if Jiang Feng really could sing, what of it? He was a professional singer; why would he be afraid of an amateur who hadn't even debuted yet?

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaochen felt much more at ease.

"How about this: if I don't sing as well as you," Jiang Feng said with a smile, "I will apologize to you and your wife, and admit that you really do sing better than me. If you lose, you apologize to me and my wife, Li Qingwan. Furthermore, you must admit in public that you sing very badly."

"You..." Upon hearing these stakes, Zhang Xiaochen's face turned uncertain.

Apologizing was a small matter for him. But admitting in public that he sang badly was something that would jeopardize his entire career.

If he admitted it publicly, then no matter what songs he released in the future, people would use this against him.

Therefore, this bet was undoubtedly skewed in Jiang Feng's favor. After all, he was just an amateur; if he lost, he lost.

"Don't tell me you're afraid?" Jiang Feng asked again.

"Honey, agree to it. What are you afraid of?" "I don't believe he can sing better than you." Zhang Xiaochen was still hesitating, but Zhang Yi was already encouraging him.

After all, in her eyes, her husband was the man who sang the best in the entire world.

"Fine, I agree," Zhang Xiaochen said, gritting his teeth.

"This is interesting. Jiang Feng, who seemed to be the victim, has actually managed to take the initiative with this bet."

"Now, the one who should be panicking is Zhang Xiaochen."

"Exactly. If Jiang Feng loses, he has nothing to lose, but if Zhang Xiaochen loses, he probably won't be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life."

"It seems this Jiang Feng isn't completely useless."

"However, the scales of victory in this competition are still tipped towards Zhang Xiaochen."

"True, the gap between a professional singer and an amateur is still too large." The audience in the livestream commented one after another.

Seeing that Jiang Feng had actually taken the initiative to propose a bet, Li Qingwan looked at him in surprise.

She realized that she couldn't seem to see through Jiang Feng anymore. Where on earth did this guy get his confidence?

What made him think he could beat Zhang Xiaochen? Was it because of that song "bubble"? But that wasn't enough. They were competing to see who sang better. Even if Jiang Feng brought out "bubble", he wouldn't be able to beat Zhang Xiaochen.

Li Qingwan had heard Jiang Feng sing "bubble". Although it wasn't so bad that it was unlistenable, it definitely couldn't be considered good. Therefore, Li Qingwan was very confused. Where did Jiang Feng get his confidence from?

However, Jiang Feng's move with the bet had actually trapped Zhang Xiaochen, which also surprised Li Qingwan.

Besides Li Qingwan, the other guests were also very surprised. Jiang Feng actually wanted to add stakes; was he digging a pit to bury himself in?

"Alright, Jiang Feng, since Zhang Xiaochen has agreed to your terms, you can begin your performance," the host, Chen Xue, urged.

With the bet between Jiang Feng and Zhang Xiaochen formed, the number of viewers in the livestream had already reached over 400,000 and was about to break through to 500,000. It could be said that the number of people in the livestream was climbing rapidly. As expected, netizens loved watching the drama. Moreover, this was drama between celebrities and it was being livestreamed. Who wouldn't want to watch?

In order to maintain the high number of viewers in the livestream, Chen Xue urged Jiang Feng.

"Okay," Jiang Feng nodded and said. "I saw that they were all singing a cappella earlier, so I'll sing a cappella too, to ensure fairness."

"You can go ahead and use accompaniment. Tell me, whose song do you want to sing? I can play the accompaniment for you," Zhang Xiaochen said with a cold laugh. Clearly, he didn't take Jiang Feng seriously at all.

"Forget it. Since you sing so badly, your accompaniment must be very mediocre too. I'll just sing a cappella," Jiang Feng said indifferently.

"You..." Zhang Xiaochen almost choked to death on the spot. How could this Jiang Feng talk so harshly? If they weren't recording a show, he would have really wanted to punch Jiang Feng in the face, to let him know the strength of a Taekwondo expert.

"Jiang Feng, sing. Everyone is waiting," Zhang Yi said, looking at Jiang Feng. The more Jiang Feng delayed, the more she felt that he was afraid to fight.

In reality, Jiang Feng was trying to recall the lyrics. He already had plans for the song "bubble", so he obviously didn't intend to sing that. Therefore, he needed to think of a new song. However, in his previous life, he never liked to memorize lyrics when listening to songs. He could hum them, but to sing them fully and completely, he had to carefully recall them.

Finally, Jiang Feng remembered the lyrics.

"Well, I'll make a fool of myself," Jiang Feng said with a nod.

The crowd scoffed, thinking Jiang Feng was putting on an act. Then, Jiang Feng began to sing.

"The wind passing through the wilderness, please slow down."

As soon as Jiang Feng opened his mouth, it was a knockout blow. The ethereal voice, combined with the way Jiang Feng narrated the emotion, instantly made this line of lyrics legendary. Everyone felt their scalp tingle. Their whole bodies seemed to tremble suddenly.

In an instant, countless eyes fell upon Jiang Feng. Confusion, doubt, shock. Disbelief. Could such an ethereal voice really come from Jiang Feng's mouth?

The most shocked person was undoubtedly Li Qingwan. She had heard Jiang Feng sing before. That was at Wen Youren's house. The song "bubble" that Jiang Feng sang—it was nothing like this voice, okay? It could be said that the difference between them was like heaven and earth.

"How can this be?" Li Qingwan muttered in disbelief. Could it be that Jiang Feng had been hiding his true skills all along?

At the same time, Zhang Xiaochen and his wife were just as shocked as Li Qingwan. Hearing this voice from Jiang Feng, they only had one feeling. How could a grown man sing with this voice? Was this really sung by him?

At this moment, with this line of a cappella from Jiang Feng, the audience in the livestream instantly erupted.

"Holy crap."

"This voice."

"How is it possible?"

"How could he have such an ethereal voice?"

"Oh my god, in an instant, I felt like I was standing on a vast prairie."

"I feel like my soul is being purified by this voice."

In the livestream, countless viewers exclaimed that it was impossible.
