Chapter 1795: Grief Or Joy
This was a very sad song.
At the same time, it was a song imbued with an extremely profound dao realm.
Dongfang Xue had told a captivating story through the use of her clear, flawless voice.
The audience was moved by her song, and many people were even brought to the point of tears.
The cultivators in the front row were also in the same boat. Tian Lingling was already sobbing uncontrollably, but there were some cultivators who incorporated this story into their dao intent and were in deep thought.
“Waah… Big Brother An, she was saying that she was very happy to see you back on Earth, but she’s dedicating a song like this to you? Woof!”
Da Bai wiped away his tears with his paw as he spoke.
An Lin heaved a resigned sigh and offered comforting words, “Actually, when you think about it, if you reverse the story in the song, wouldn’t it actually be quite a beautiful and joyful one?”
“Reverse it?” Ne Zha’s eyes suddenly lit up upon hearing this. “You’re right! How profound… This song is truly out of the ordinary! No, Ms. Dongfang Xue is the one who is out of the ordinary!”
If the story within the song was reversed, then the reality of the girl within the song would be a terrifying battlefield, but in her dreams, she would be attending school and surrounded by those she loved. In the end, the dream became clearer and clear while the reality was slowly forgotten.
When she woke up, she would find herself in a serene and placid classroom.
Her friend would surreptitiously ask her why she was sleeping in class.
She would reply with a smile that she had just had a nightmare, but thankfully, that was all forgotten now. She was no longer scared and no longer grief stricken. Her days would continue like this, without any stress nor pain.
Thinking about it that way, this was a song that could heal one’s heart.
Of course, if one was to delve deeper, there would be many more worthwhile topics to explore such as the difference between dreams and reality and even the meaning and origin of life.
It was exactly because of this that Ne Zha was full of praise and admiration for Dongfang Xue.
Soon, Dongfang Xue began to sing other songs.
Some were joyful, some were sweet. There were love songs, motivational songs, and songs that provoked deep thoughts. She could sing all different styles and all manners of different pitches.
An Lin could now understand how Dongfang Xue was able to rule over the Earthly music industry for over a hundred years.
She truly loved to sing, and her singing ability was unmatched.
Dongfang Xue’s aptitude was also quite exemplary. According to Tian Lingling, Dongfang Xue was already at the Half-Step Soul Formation Stage, and her domain was also related to her voice and was named the Xue Voice Domain. It could hypnotize, it could heal, it could add buffs to allies, it could kill enemies…
An Lin was quite envious of Dongfang Xue. Her concerts were essentially cultivation for her during which she brought joy to everyone and herself, earned money, and also improved her cultivation base.
She was truly killing many birds with one stone!
10:30 pm.
The concert drew to a conclusion.
Over three hundred thousand spectators left the venue.
An Lin and the others also planned to return to the Peace Immortal Sect.
However, his Starputer suddenly lit up at this moment, and a new WeChat notification popped up.
A familiar, gorgeous face appeared on the screen.
Dongfang Xue: “Come on, let’s grab something to eat!”
“Er…” An Lin faltered upon seeing this.
At this moment, Tian Lingling had already wrapped her arm around his.
“Let’s go!” Tian Lingling dragged An Lin over to the backstage area of the Starlight Stadium.
An Lin didn’t have anything to do tonight anyway, so he went along with Tian Lingling.
There was a Star Ball Restaurant in the Starlight Stadium.
It hovered high in the sky like a bubble, orbiting around the entire Hu City and gave diners a view of the best night scenery in the city.
After over a hundred years of development, Hu City had already become the largest city in the world. Its night scenery was extremely spectacular, especially when viewed from the Star Ball Restaurant.
An Lin looked down at the city through the clear glass and was greeted by the sight of countless skyscrapers ranging from several hundred meters tall to even two or three thousand meters tall. All of them glowed with vibrant light and illuminated the entire city.
All types of glowing aircraft and electronic flying vehicles flew in an orderly fashion along set paths in the air, and from above, it looked like fluorescent blood vessels riddled throughout Hu City.
This was a dazzling and captivating place.
An Lin, Da Bai, and Ne Zha were all entranced by the night scenery of Hu City.
At this moment, a warm and enticing voice sounded.
“Long time no see, An Lin. I hope my singing was alright.”
Dongfang Xue wore a light green dress, and her hair fell all the way to her waist. She wore a set of crescent moon earrings that shimmered with pristine white lights as she made her way over to him with a warm smile on her face before extending a hand.
An Lin shook her hand with a smile. “Alright? It was spectacular!”
A hint of smugness flashed past Dongfang Xue’s eyes, but she adopted a humble expression. “You’re too kind. You’re going to make me complacent if you keep saying that. I still have many improvements that need to be made.”
She stroked Da Bai’s head with a doting expression as she spoke, “Da Bai, you’re just as adorable as ever…”
“Big Sister Dongfang, I’ve missed you so much, woof!” Miniature Da Bai dove toward Dongfang Xue’s chest with the intention of burying his face into her bosom, only to be slapped aside by Tian Lingling.
“You’re just as perverted as ever as well!” Tian Lingling harrumphed.
Dongfang Xue looked on at the bickering dog and loli with a faint smile on her face. She really had not changed at all in the past hundred years, aside from the fact that her singing had improved from her already lofty standards.
An Lin, Tian Lingling, Da Bai, Dongfang Xue, and Ne Zha sat around a table as they chatted joyfully with one another, sampled delicious food, and looked out at the beautiful night scenery.
An Lin brought out some flower wine brewed by Little Gu and shared it with everyone.
This was the first time Tian Lingling, Dongfang Xue, and Ne Zha had tasted such sweet and delicious flower wine, and all of them were full of praise. Dongfang Xue even began an impromptu concert for everyone. The songs she sang were all songs that she had written but never released in albums or as singles.
An Lin was fortunate enough to enjoy a second concert in one day, and these were all songs that had never been released to the public.
What a fantastic day!
After enjoying a wonderful meal, everyone flew toward an important landmark in Hu City.
This was the new Oriental Pearl Tower, and it was 8888 meters tall, making it the tallest building within the Hua Alliance territory.
There were two balls, one large and one small, which were embedded into the center and top of the tower, and these two balls were emanating gentle, white lights, like two moons imbued with infinite hope.
A normal human would suffer from oxygen deprivation if they were to climb to the top of the Oriental Pearl Tower, but An Lin and the others obviously did not have this problem.
