Chapter 361: Explosive News! The Child of Destiny Explodes on the Spot!
"My First Senior Sister, Pei Changli, a Female Sword Immortal, would be even less concerned about such things."
"If, at that time, they try to kill you, I will do my best to stop them. You remember to run quickly."
Zhong Lingyin's jade-like hand gently caressed Shen Anyu's handsome face, her earnest advice coming from the depths of her heart.
At this moment, hiding inside the cramped closet, Yang Luoluo's heart was also greatly shaken upon hearing Fifth Sister Zhong Lingyin's heartfelt confession.
'Fifth Sister actually has such resolve... Is this what love is?'
Yang Luoluo's innocent little head immediately became muddled. The concept of love, usually so abstract to her, suddenly felt heavy and real.
But then, watching through the crack in the closet door as her Master Brother Shen Anyu smilingly disarmed Fifth Sister Zhong Lingyin, Yang Luoluo's eyes widened, and she watched intently, afraid to miss a single detail.
It wasn't until Shen Anyu sent Zhong Lingyin to her room that Yang Luoluo finally stumbled away, her mind in chaos.
[Location: Magic City Stadium]
Soon, evening descended, draping the skyline in neon. Zhong Lingyin's final world tour concert was held at the massive Magic City Stadium.
The scale of the event was suffocatingly grand. Inside and outside the Magic City Stadium, at least 100,000 fans of Zhong Lingyin had gathered. They were a surging sea of humanity, shouting Zhong Lingyin's name in unison. Their cheers were like a mountain tsunami, a physical wall of sound that echoed through the clouds and shook the very foundations of the stadium.
Seeing this lively, almost fanatical scene, Yang Luoluo was astonished. Her small mouth hung open as she looked at the ocean of light sticks waving in the darkness.
"So many people like Fifth Sister," she murmured, her voice barely audible over the roar.
Shen Anyu sat comfortably in the VIP front row, his legs crossed with the elegance of a king observing his subjects. He smiled and nodded, just about to speak.
Ye Linyuan, standing nearby on the seat to see over the railing, interrupted. He wore a smug look on his childish face, puffing out his small chest. "Of course! Fifth Sister is popular; she has fans all over the world, and her followers on major platforms have exceeded 100 million."
Ye Linyuan's tone was filled with pride, as if Zhong Lingyin's glory was his own. Since it was Zhong Lingyin's last concert, Ye Linyuan had strongly insisted on coming. Coupled with the pleading of Zhong Lingyin and Yang Luoluo, Shen Anyu had generously "agreed" to bring the little pest along.
Shen Anyu looked down at the shrunken Ye Linyuan with a playful, predatory expression. He swirled the wine in his glass and said, "Miss Zhong is so outstanding. I wonder what kind of man her future husband will be? He must also be very outstanding to match a goddess of her caliber."
He paused, his eyes narrowing slightly as he locked gazes with the child. "Little Yezi, what do you think your Fifth Sister's future man will be like?"
[Ding! Child of Destiny Ye Linyuan is heartbroken and dejected, plundering +5555 Destiny Value!]
...
Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan really wanted to boast and shout, "It will be me!"
But as the words rushed to his throat, he caught a reflection of himself in the glass partition. Looking at his small arms and short legs, the reality of his curse crashed down on him. He felt somewhat dejected, his expression instantly falling into a mask of bitterness. He thought to himself:
'No... I look ridiculous like this. I must quickly find a way to break the curse and return to my original state. Now that I've become so small and lost all my cultivation, how can I possibly pursue my goddess Senior Sisters?'
The anxiety gnawed at his heart like a viper. If his goddess Senior Sisters were all taken by other men while he was trapped in this useless body, the mere thought of this possibility made Ye Linyuan's mentality explode.
Because Second Senior Sister Liu Ruyan was already being pursued by Shen Anyu, he had always harbored a deep, instinctive dislike for this rich young master. If Zhong Lingyin and the other goddess Senior Sisters were also snatched away by some random men, he would rather die.
In an instant, Ye Linyuan, who had just been full of smugness, suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon. He slumped into his seat, staring blankly at the stage.
Yang Luoluo, standing next to him, looked at Shen Anyu with a strange expression.
'Master Brother is so narcissistic,' she thought, biting her lip. 'He is clearly Fifth Sister Zhong Lingyin's man already, yet he is intentionally praising himself by asking such questions.'
However, as she looked at Shen Anyu's perfect side profile illuminated by the stage lights, Yang Luoluo suddenly felt a bit sour in her heart, though she didn't know why. It was a strange, prickly feeling, like swallowing an unripe plum.
Subsequently, the lights dimmed, and the music began.
Zhong Lingyin's concert was a complete success. The production value was astronomical, worthy of a Heavenly Queen. But the climax came at the very end.
"This is my final song for the night," Zhong Lingyin's voice floated through the stadium, soft yet powerful. "It is called... 'Cherry Blossom Love'."
She sat before a crystal grand piano, her fingers dancing across the keys. The melody was hauntingly beautiful, filled with tender emotions and the lingering sentiments of lovers parting and reuniting. As she sang, pink petals rained down from the ceiling, creating a dreamlike illusion. The song elicited thunderous applause and continuous cheers, many fans weeping openly at the raw emotion in her voice.
After the concert ended, the atmosphere shifted from artistic appreciation to chaotic frenzy.
Reporters rushed forward frantically toward the backstage interview area, their cameras flashing like strobe lights. They shoved microphones forward, asking questions one after another:
"Heavenly Queen Zhong, 'Cherry Blossom Love' was sung so beautifully; the emotions within it are truly touching. It felt too real to be just a performance. Heavenly Queen Zhong, have you fallen in love?"
"Heavenly Queen Zhong, we noticed that besides you, there is also a person named 'Jade Prince' credited as the composer and lyricist for 'Cherry Blossom Love.' Is he your boyfriend? Is this your love song?"
"..."
The questions hung in the air, heavy with implication. The reporters' eyes widened, and they held their breath, their recording pens trembling with anticipation. If the world-renowned Heavenly Queen Zhong Lingyin—known for her ice-pure image—had a boyfriend, this news would surely crash the internet servers of every major news outlet in minutes.
Ye Linyuan, who was following behind the group, pouted and coldly snorted. He crossed his small arms, looking at the reporters with disdain. "Reporters are asking random questions, talking nonsense. Fake news media!"
He was extremely displeased in his heart, clinging to his delusion. He thought there was no way Fifth Sister Zhong Lingyin could have a boyfriend; she must be pure and unsullied, waiting only for him to grow up.
Shen Anyu glanced at Ye Linyuan, a cruel glint in his eyes. He leaned down and whispered, "Little Yezi, maybe your Fifth Sister really does have a boyfriend? Women of her age usually have needs, you know."
Ye Linyuan snorted lightly and ignored Shen Anyu, firmly believing his own opinion. "Impossible. Fifth Sister is an immortal fairy. She doesn't need men."
And at this moment, under the gaze of numerous reporters and the surrounding fans, Zhong Lingyin stepped forward. Her beautiful eyes were shimmering like water, reflecting the camera flashes. She parted her red lips, her sweet and clear voice ringing out with absolute clarity:
"Yes, I am already in a relationship."
The silence that followed was deafening.
She continued, a shy blush coloring her cheeks. "I have a boyfriend, and he is none other than 'Jade Prince', the co-lyricist and composer of 'Cherry Blossom Love.' However, I cannot disclose specific information; he and I do not wish to be disturbed."
After Shen Anyu's "discussion" last night—which involved a thorough physical and mental conquest—Zhong Lingyin had summoned the courage to admit this relationship to the world. Though she dared not reveal Shen Anyu's true name for now to protect his plans, she wanted the world to know she belonged to someone.
'Jade Prince' was Shen Anyu's codename.
Boom!
When Zhong Lingyin uttered these words, it was as if a nuclear bomb had been dropped on the venue. The reporters and fans went wild:
"Oh my god! Heavenly Queen Zhong actually has a boyfriend!"
"Jade Prince? Who is he? He must be the happiest man in the world!"
"Boo hoo hoo! My goddess! Heavenly Queen Zhong has a boyfriend; my dream is shattered! I don't want to live anymore!"
"Who is Jade Prince? How did he win over Heavenly Queen Zhong? Is he a business tycoon? A royal? Heavenly Queen Zhong, please tell us!"
"..."
The chaos was uncontrollable. But at this moment, Zhong Lingyin had already left the scene under the heavy escort of her female bodyguards, leaving the world in shock.
[Ding! Child of Destiny Ye Linyuan's mentality explodes, plundering +9999 Destiny Value!]
[Ding! Child of Destiny Ye Linyuan is greatly shocked, plundering +19999 Destiny Value!]
...
"How is this possible...?"
Ye Linyuan stood rooted to the spot, his small body trembling.
"Fifth Sister actually has a boyfriend???"
At this moment, Ye Linyuan's mentality exploded completely. His face twisted into a mask of horror, his eyes bloodshot and about to crack, filled with shock and disbelief.
His pure and unsullied, globally popular goddess Senior Sister Zhong Lingyin actually had a boyfriend? And she even wrote a love song for him?
Ye Linyuan couldn't accept it. He truly couldn't accept it. It felt like his heart was being torn out of his chest and trampled on.
Shen Anyu, standing nearby with a beaming, sunny smile, slowly said, "I told you, Little Yezi. Heavenly Queen Zhong is so outstanding, she must have a boyfriend. It's only natural for a woman to find a mate."
He leaned closer, his voice dropping to a devilish whisper. "Maybe in a few days, she'll even have a child. You might become an uncle soon."
Even have a child???
Upon hearing Shen Anyu's words, Ye Linyuan broke down. The image of his beloved Senior Sister holding another man's baby flashed through his mind, shattering his sanity.
"No! I must persuade Fifth Sister! You can know a person's face but not their heart. Perhaps that 'Jade Prince' is a scumbag, a bad guy! She shouldn't let him succeed so easily!"
Ye Linyuan was extremely anxious in his heart, wishing he could fly to the car in front and persuade Fifth Sister Zhong Lingyin to remain pure and unsullied. He had to stop them from... doing that. Otherwise, if Fifth Sister was fully taken away before he returned to his original state, that would be too tragic.
The thought of Fifth Sister Zhong Lingyin possibly even having a child, her belly swollen with another man's seed, made Ye Linyuan's vision darken. He felt faint.
[Ding! Child of Destiny Ye Linyuan's emotions burst, plundering +9999 Destiny Value!]
[Ding! Child of Destiny Ye Linyuan's vision darkens, plundering +9999 Destiny Value!]
[Ding! Child of Destiny Ye Linyuan breaks down, plundering +29999 Destiny Value!]
...
Listening to the continuous crisp notification sounds of plundering Ye Linyuan's destiny value, Shen Anyu's expression grew more and more delighted, and his smile deepened...
