The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 424

After 1 minute and 15 seconds, the prelude ended, and the chorus immediately followed.

It was a theatrical performance!

[All illusory and unreal]

[Several nights of blood-drinking, who can relieve the sorrow]

At the same time, the duet on stage underwent a transformation. Nan XiangWan suddenly became gentle in her movements, and even her gaze changed. From the initial air of menace, it abruptly became alluring and captivating.

As she sang, she extended her hand backward with naturally graceful movements, exuding a seductive charm.

Gu Beihuai grabbed her and pulled her waist, smoothly gliding backward.

The entire scene resembled a flying crane, soaring away into the distance.

Many spectators in the audience subconsciously reached out their hands, wanting to pull it back...

The singing continued, and so did the dance.

Everyone was immersed in it!

Barrages of comments flooded the screen, covering it entirely.

Whether it was the deep-toned rap in the traditional Chinese style or the theatrical performance in the chorus, Nan XiangWan's performance in this episode was like an ultimate display of her talent.

No one expected that she was already so impressive, yet she could still become even more extraordinary?

Her vocal skills had improved!

This improvement was not minor; it was a significant leap forward, like an epiphany and surpassing a bottleneck.

She had made a qualitative leap!

Not only professionals could discern it, but other viewers could immediately perceive the change.

In this moment, Nan XiangWan had transcended the mere act of singing and was evolving toward the realm of artistry!

Zhang Rui backstage was stunned and unable to regain his composure. He stood there dumbfounded, his eyes wide open like copper bells.

Nan XiangWan, how could you continue to progress? How can you allow others to live!

The singing continued, and the rhythm of the accompanying band became more distinct.

Nan XiangWan retreated from her graceful movements and once again returned to the rhythm of menace and abruptness.

Gu Beihuai, the supporting dancer, regained his gracefulness, serving as a shadowy backdrop.

And then, the bass voice came again!

[I wear a robe of heroism]

[The battle horse's heat ignites a passionate song]

...

[Don't take this life too seriously, it's more than just love and hate]

[With the same brush and ink, sharing a wine cup, one can be called a beauty]

While singing, Nan XiangWan casually moved about the stage. Each step was carefully choreographed, refined by Gu Beihuai.

The strides were confident and alluring!

Coupled with the deep bass voice, barrage comments like "my ears are pregnant" kept appearing, and eventually, the entire screen was filled with the three words "pregnant ears."

Both male and female fans went crazy over it.

Jie Chou in the front row of the audience was completely overwhelmed by madness.

Previously, he had merely shouted that he would kneel for Nan XiangWan, but today, he truly knelt down!

He knelt down, weeping bitterly, the sound so beautiful that it drove him nearly insane.

Beside him, Gong Jin had initially considered Jie Chou's fangirling behavior embarrassing. However, after witnessing Nan XiangWan's live performance and experiencing the sound firsthand...

Gong Jin also fell under her spell!

He nearly knelt down for Nan XiangWan too!

Sister, you sound amazing!

Listening to her made his heart race!

When the song reached 2 minutes and 33 seconds, Nan XiangWan arrived at the center of the stage.

The theatrical performance continued:

[All illusory and unreal]

[I shall determine mountains and rivers]

Gu Beihuai, the accompanying dancer, slowly fell backward, lying on the ground, while the dance continued. At this moment, he portrayed a shadow on the ground.

The stage at dusk became even more graceful as Nan XiangWan extended a hand and gently touched her own cheek.

Her dance moves caused her crane-patterned coat's sleeves to slip, revealing her pristine white arms.

Her slender fingers, each one distinct with visible joints, traced across her eyebrows, eyes, lips, and then down to her collarbone.

It was as if she was plucking at the heartstrings of the audience!

Although it wasn't a particularly provocative scene, it made people's hearts race.

What was most astonishing was how seamlessly Nan XiangWan transitioned between two contrasting scenes. Whether it was her singing or her dancing, she effortlessly shifted from solemnity to gracefulness and back again, without the slightest hint of discord. It was an exceptionally smooth transition.

Truly, she was a genius with a touch of mischief!

As the song came to an end after three minutes and twenty seconds, the entire venue went wild. There were even fervent individuals who wanted to rush onto the stage!

Of course, they were quickly restrained, with Gong Jin being the first to intervene.

The nearby staff didn't even have time to react before Gong Jin swiftly pulled the person back and pressed them into their seat.

Because the person who wanted to rush onto the stage was Jie Chou.

After finishing the song, Nan XiangWan felt something peculiar. Not only the audience, but she herself could sense remarkable progress.

As she walked off the stage, she kept glancing sideways at Gu Beihuai next to her.

Gu Beihuai still wore a mask, and his eyes beneath the mask were gentle, with a smile playing around his lips.

The two of them walked at a steady pace, and when they were about to reach the backstage corridor, Nan XiangWan suddenly became captivated by Gu Beihuai's gaze.

It was strange, yet so familiar!

Those eyes...

Her heart skipped a beat, and she wanted to see the face beneath the mask.

Nan XiangWan always did as she pleased, so she reached out and swiftly removed Gu Beihuai's mask.

In the next second, the two turned a corner and disappeared into the corridor.

Just as Gu Beihuai turned the corner, he realized his mask had been taken, and there was a momentary look of surprise on his face.

Nan XiangWan clapped her hands, feeling somewhat disappointed.

She had glimpsed something intense and familiar in those eyes, but as soon as the mask came off, surprise replaced it.

She still couldn't capture it!

Gu Beihuai gently patted her back and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Oh, once the topic of hunger was mentioned, Nan XiangWan immediately returned to her playful state.

Nan XiangWan: "Let's eat, eat, eat!"

Gu Beihuai: "Let's go eat after we're done."

The two of them walked back to the dressing room side by side and found that every door in the corridor was open.

As soon as they returned, the other singers came rushing out, all talking at once.

Zhong Lingfei: "I thought I had won today, but Nan XiangWan, you pulled out all the stops!"

Yang Rongjun: "This girl's voice is incredible! I can hardly achieve such stability with those low tones, let alone maintain it throughout the entire performance, from start to finish."

Wei Sha: "I reckon even those who were listening from up close in the audience could feel the resonance! It was truly so low, Nan XiangWan, how did you do it?"

Nan XiangWan: "Let's eat!"

Everyone: "???"
