76: Chapter 76: A Song of Love Shocks the Entire Audience
As one of the four major kingdoms ruled by the Heaven Dou Empire, the Balak Kingdom was home to Soto City, known as the granary of Balak, located in the center of the most fertile Lima Plain. The streets were bustling with traffic and endless streams of people. Shops, taverns, and Spirit fighting arenas lined the streets, and the sounds of hawking and laughter were constant.
However, not long after entering the city, the three of them were stunned by the wave of discussions on the street.
"Have you heard? The top courtesan Xiao Wu of Red Romance is debuting a new song tonight! Rumor has it that it's an unprecedented melody, sweet enough to melt into your bones!"
"Who doesn't know that? I booked a seat three days ago just to catch a glimpse of Miss Xiao Wu! That appearance, that figure, and that voice—you won't find a second one in all of Soto City!"
"It's a pity, Miss Xiao Wu only performs arts and doesn't sell her body. Countless noble Young Masters have poured mountains of gold coins, unable to even touch her hand, yet they remain devoted to her."
"Stop talking, stop talking! If we're late, there won't be any seats left! Hurry up and go buy tickets!"
A group of Spirit Masters and noble Young Masters rushed past the three of them, repeating the words "Red Romance," "top courtesan Xiao Wu," and "new song" over and over.
Gui Mengguan and the others stood on the spot, looking at each other. Their expressions were more colorful than the last, and they nearly couldn't hold it together.
[??? Xiao Wu??? Top courtesan of Red Romance???]
Oupai said in disbelief: "Did I hear that right? The innocent and lively Soft Bone Douluo from the original story ran to a brothel to become a top courtesan???"
Gui Mengguan was the same: "No, what is this? What about Tang San? Why didn't Tang San stop her? Wasn't he in Soto City with Xiao Wu? He just watched Xiao Wu go and become a top courtesan?"
Qiangu Jue swallowed his saliva, lowered his voice, and looked incredulous: "Did I hear that right? The Xiao Wu they are talking about... is she the Xiao Wu we are thinking of?"
"Nine times out of ten." Gui Mengguan steadied himself, his mouth twitching, "In all of Soto City, who else could it be but her, a Rabbit Spirit Spirit Master who can go by the name Xiao Wu and cause such a huge sensation?"
Oupai frowned, full of confusion: "But why would she go to Red Romance to be a top courtesan? What about Tang San? With his nature of treating Xiao Wu like his exclusive possession, could he let Xiao Wu go to a place like this?"
"Who knows what kind of trouble these two are causing." Gui Mengguan steadied himself and gestured with his chin towards the direction of the surging crowd, "Why don't we go and see? Just right, let's see how many of our 'fellow countrymen' are hiding in this Red Romance."
Qiangu Jue nodded immediately: "Let's go! We must go and see! I want to see what is going on here!"
Following the flow of people, the three of them quickly found the den of gold known as "Red Romance."
Unlike the ordinary taverns on the street, Red Romance was decorated with extreme luxury. Vermilion gates, gilded plaques, and slender maids stood at the entrance. Those coming and going were either rich or noble. The entrance was surrounded by Spirit Masters who hadn't been able to book a seat, standing on tiptoes and peering inside, incredibly lively.
The three of them didn't draw attention to themselves. They casually took out a few gold coins and mixed into the crowd to get in.
Once inside Red Romance, the noise quieted down significantly. The interior was dimly lit, with only sparse candlelight flickering, and the air was filled with a faint scent of incense.
In the vast hall, tables and chairs were packed tightly, and there were no seats left. Everyone's gaze was fixed on the stage in front of the hall, which was covered by a black cloth.
Gui Mengguan and the others found a corner seat and sat down. Their gazes swept across the entire venue, and they instantly captured several familiar figures.
In a private booth not far away, Lin Mo was sitting there with three accomplices. The composure they usually had was gone from their faces, replaced by an unconcealable surprise. Clearly, they had also been shocked by this sudden news.
In a corner on the other side, Yu Tianmeng, dressed in blue athletic wear and wearing a veil hat, was sitting alone. The hand holding the teacup tightened slightly, and his eyes were full of shock and bewilderment.
There were also a few unfamiliar Spirit Masters sitting seemingly calmly, but their fingers were unconsciously rubbing the tabletop, and the shock in their eyes could not be hidden at all.
The three of them looked at each other and saw the realization in each other's eyes.
Well, no need to ask. These people are nine times out of ten Transmigrators.
It seemed that all the Transmigrators in Soto City had been blown out by this news of "Top courtesan Xiao Wu debuting a new song."
Just then, in the most prestigious private booth in the front row, an impatient male voice suddenly came, with a bit of arrogance and defiance, instantly breaking the silence in the venue.
"What the hell is going on? Dawdling!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a golden-haired youth leaning in the booth. His face was handsome, his figure tall and straight, and a pair of different-colored eyes were particularly striking. The faint Soul Power pressure emanating from his whole body showed he was no ordinary person.
He tapped the table impatiently. The rose in his hand was almost withered from being squeezed. His tone was full of hostility.
"This Young Master has been waiting here for an hour. My flowers are about to wither, and where is the person? If it doesn't start, I'll tear down your broken shop!"
The venue was instantly silent, and no one dared to speak.
Those with sharp eyes recognized that this was the famous playboy Young Master of Soto City, Dai Mubai.
In all of Soto City, no one dared to provoke this person, even the boss of Red Romance had to respectfully cater to him.
The boss ran out from the backstage and accompanied him with a smile, nodding and bowing: "Young Master Dai, please calm down! Calm down! Miss Xiao Wu will be ready soon! Soon!"
Dai Mubai snorted coldly and didn't speak again, but he still stared at the stage with impatience, clearly having no patience left.
Just as the boss was wiping his sweat and preparing to step down, all the lights in the venue went out instantly.
The whole venue fell into pitch-black darkness. The originally noisy hall instantly became quiet, leaving only the sound of breathing.
The next second, a dazzling spotlight suddenly fell from the roof and accurately hit the center of the stage.
The black cloth was slowly pulled away, and the scene on the stage instantly reflected in everyone's eyes.
Under the spotlight stood a delicate and lively girl.
She was wearing a high ponytail, a pair of fluffy pink rabbit ears on top of her head swaying gently, and a black and white JK short skirt, setting off a pair of straight and slender legs. Her face carried a sweet smile, and her pair of apricot eyes curved into crescent moons. It was Xiao Wu.
Just as everyone was stunned and holding their breath at her appearance, which was completely different from usual, the brisk and sweet prelude suddenly sounded from the speakers on both sides of the stage.
Immediately after, Xiao Wu held the microphone, stepped on the beat of the prelude, danced sweet dance steps, and opened her mouth. Her sweet and soft voice spread throughout the entire Red Romance through the speakers:
"If you suddenly sneeze, that must be me thinking of you. If you are woken up by your phone in the middle of the night, ah, that's because I care. I often think, are the things you say ulterior motives? Obviously I want to believe, but I can't help but doubt. In your heart, am I the only one? Love is having me bother you often. Oh baby, say more sweet words. If you miss me, look at me more. Express a little more, let me really see. Oh bye, say a little less. Want to accompany you for more than a day. A little more makes me willing. Love you~"
The sweet singing, playful dance steps, and the melody that was engraved in their DNA instantly blew up the eardrums of all the Transmigrators present.
In the corner, the teacup in Gui Mengguan's hand "clattered" onto the table. He didn't even notice the tea spilling all over him. He stood frozen in place.
His face was full of despair.
