[At the beginning of this chapter, the lyrics are in Mandarin version written by master Lin because itâs more appropriate for the occasion. For a thorough outpouring of emotions, itâs like the performance version at the doctorâs concert. Listen as per your own taste.]
Not long after entering the lounge.
Tongtong suddenly ran over, panting, âTeacher Prince of Lanling, the order of appearance has been decided, the opening performance today is your battle with the Revenge Goddess!â
The opening act again?
Lin Yuan seemed to have realised something. He nodded slightly, stood up, and went to the backstage area with Tongtong.
At this moment.
The live broadcast had already started and the audience on-site was whispering to each other.
Amidst the noisy sounds, An Hong suddenly announced,
âNow, please welcome our Revenge Goddess and Prince of Lanling to the stage. They will start todayâs first duel!â
Lin Yuan took the stage.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
At the same time.
The Revenge Goddess also entered the stage from another entrance.
The two stood side by side.
An Hong smiled, âToday we are not setting who will sing first. The two singers can decide themselves, or they can play rock, paper, scissors.â
The audience burst into laughter.
The Revenge Goddess looked towards Prince of Lanling, suddenly took the microphone and said, âRock, paper, scissors are not necessary. I heard there is a mysterious curse on this stage called âThe one who moves first always losesâ. I want to try to break the curse, what do you think, Teacher Prince of Lanling?â
âOh.â
Lin Yuan had no objection.
He willingly stepped aside from the stage.
The Revenge Goddess smiled. Instead of starting to sing immediately, she continued,
âThe song that Iâm going to sing next is for myself, my fans, and for all those who have been supporting me all this time. I donât care about the honour of becoming the King or Queen of Singing because I am already! The! Queen! Of! Singing!â
An uproar of applause!
The Revenge Goddess lifted her head, âThere are some words I didnât say because I want to say them on the stage. There are some things I didnât do because I want to do them on this stage. Prince of Lanling, have you ever heard of revenge?â
Lin Yuan didnât speak.
However, with this sentence from the Revenge Goddess, the onsite audience suddenly became excited. Even the four judges changed their expressions, and someone even began to scream:
âItâs Yuan Xi!â
At the same time.
The countless viewers in front of the screen immediately shot out numerous barrage comments, obviously everyone understood the hint from the Revenge Goddess:
âItâs Yuan Xi!â
âSheâs out for revenge!â
âShe calls herself the Revenge Goddess!â
âIndeed, she came for revenge!â
âPrince of Lanlingâs previous comment about Yuan Xi made Yuan Xi angry, so she transformed herself into Revenge Goddess in order to defeat Prince of Lanling on stage!â
ââ¦â
An explosion of hormones!
This is a declaration of vengeance!
This is exactly what the audience loves. The Revenge Goddess was pleased with the effect of her speech. After the shouts on-site slightly subsided she suddenly burst into song:
âThis scar.â
âWho left it?â
âDesert, winds and sands.â
âBlazing summer.â
âThe howling storm!â
âHave you heard it?â
âBlood for blood, a tooth for a tooth!â
âIf revenge is my obsession, then Iâll sing this song till Iâm hoarse; If the blooming and falling of flowers is lifeâs curse, then despair will become my armour!â
âOh, revenge!â
âSeek it!â
âMy enemy, where are you? Can you hear my voice? Who starts to play the overture of the dead souls, mournful crow, on the day you drew your sword it was snowing heavily, the bitterly cold and desolate cliff, you fell in the wind, the setting sun watched you fall, the crow watched you fall, let me watch you fall â¦â
Furious voice!
A powerful roar of anger, seemingly filled with all of the Revenge Goddessâs emotions, she was wailing at the end of the song!
After singing.
The unassisted Revenge Goddess squatted down.
Everyone couldnât see her face behind the mask, but they could hear the sobs, she was trying to control herself, only her upper body was moving uncontrollably.
She was crying.
The hearts of countless people on site felt like they were breaking, some peopleâs faces were covered in tears, they were comforting:
âDonât cry!â
âRevenge Goddess, you are the best!â
âRevenge Goddess, go for it!â
âYou are our eternal goddess!â
âDonât be sad!â
âDonât be distressed!â
âWe support you!â
ââ¦â
Of course, I know you all will support me.
The face under the mask of the Revenge Goddess was indeed wet with tears.
But no one could see, and no one would ever see, the corners of her mouth hooked upwards momentarily.
Prince of Lanling.
Thank you for the stage you provided.
My performance is not just âRevengeâ.
I also want to show youâ¦
The magic of human hearts!
When my cries go out in this way, not just my fans, but the whole world will be your enemy!
Singing is a performance!
Strength can sometimes serve as an embellishment. Who says you canât perform along with singing?
Yes.
After this song.
Almost the entire audience was touched!
Itâs so apt!
So shocking!
The song she chose for today was astonishingly âRevengeâ!
One of the most classic songs from Blue Star themed around revenge!
And the creator of this song, Ye Zhi Qiu, was sitting right there in the audience!
The camera focused on Ye Zhi Qiuâs face.
Ye Zhi Qiu seemed to have been reminded of some memories and appeared slightly absent-minded.
The Revenge Goddess suddenly turned her head, staring at Prince of Lanling.
âNow, letâs welcome Teacher Prince of Lanling â¦â
An Hong looked at the Revenge Goddess and announced with a somewhat complicated tone.
The Revenge Goddess stepped back.
Lin Yuan stepped onto the stage.
An Hong asked, âPrince of Lanling, do you have anything to say?â
Lin Yuan shook his head.
In front of the screen.
Despite hearing the news, all of Yuan Xiâs fans felt gut-wrenched.
âItâs so distressing to hearâ.
âWho does Prince of Lanling think he is to pass remarks on our Yuan Xi!â
âDo you know how much pain your words have caused Yuan Xi?â
