"Wow, Doctor, you were chosen! I'm so envious,"

Blanca said enviously. She also wanted to perform a duet with Ye Chang'an.

This had never happened in any concert before.

Mobius was truly lucky.

Mobius also felt lucky. She was just wondering how to approach him, and an opportunity presented itself.

She wanted to go up directly, but then remembered she couldn't sing, so she pulled Blanca along with her.

"Hey, Doctor, what are you doing?"

"Weren't you envious? Come with me."

"Huh? Really? Can I? Will I be kicked off stage?"

"Probably not."

Mobius wasn't sure, but fortunately, Blanca wasn't kicked off.

"Thank you for your cooperation, madam, and for bringing your friend along. Such precious friendship."

Ye Chang'an spoke to smooth things over, then asked for the names of the two girls.

"Mobius."

"Ah, I-I, I, I'm Blanca."

Mobius was quite calm, while Blanca was a bit nervous.

Fortunately, the duet Ye Chang'an chose was simple, and Blanca was familiar with it and could sing it.

Mobius, of course, couldn't sing, so Ye Chang'an pulled her over to the piano to pretend to play along.

—Good thing I brought Blanca along.

Mobius thought to herself, then glanced at Ye Chang'an playing the piano beside her and asked, "Can I ask you something?"

She was too curious to wait.

"Please do."

Ye Chang'an nodded, guessing what she would ask.

It was Mobius, after all.

"Does the Chang'an Melody you play have healing effects?"

"Heh~" Ye Chang'an chuckled, teasingly, "Do you want the truth or a lie?"

"...The truth."

"The truth is, no, the Chang'an Melody does not have healing effects."

Increasing adaptability to destruction energy wasn't considered healing, as it didn't erase pain. It merely allowed one to evolve to ignore pain.

He was indeed telling the truth.

Mobius raised an eyebrow, displeased, suspecting it was a lie, and retorted, "Then what about the lie?"

"The lie is complicated, and one song isn't enough time."

"That's fine, I don't mind if you add another song."

"I do. Please don't say things that make me work overtime for free."

Ye Chang'an rolled his eyes speechlessly and suggested, "Let's chat at the hotel after the concert."

"You can bring Blanca, and I'll bring Eden."

"Deal!"

Mobius agreed immediately, not at all concerned about the potential danger of two girls going to a hotel with a man.

She wasn't someone easily bullied.

Besides, Ye Chang'an's girlfriend, Eden, would be there.

It wasn't like Eden would help them too, that would be too absurd.

The performance ended, and the concert concluded.

Ye Chang'an led the three women to their hotel. Mobius and Blanca walked behind, while Ye Chang'an and Eden walked in front.

"Honey, can you tell me why you brought them?"

Eden questioned in a low voice, her hand twisting the flesh she was holding so hard it was almost detached.

She was jealous because both Mobius and Blanca were very beautiful.

And, these two beautiful girls were even younger than her.

Women really did care about age, and Eden was no exception.

After all, men liked young and pretty women.

"They're researchers. I have something I'd like them to help me study."

Ye Chang'an explained in a low voice, genuinely wanting to take this opportunity to ask Mobius for a favor.

Eden glanced back at Mobius, who was clearly dressed as a researcher. She let go of her grip, no longer twisting, and suppressed her jealousy.

She actually trusted that Ye Chang'an wouldn't flirt around, but his invitation to Mobius to come on stage and his pretense of a joint performance truly tested her nerves.

This was, after all, Ye Chang'an's first invitation to another woman besides her, and it was to a woman with a figure similar to hers.

It was already good that she hadn't made a scene on stage.

Ye Chang'an wasn't surprised by her slight pique; he led Mobius and Blanca to a more suitable room for conversation and invited them to sit.

He brought some tea and sat next to Eden, directly opposite Mobius.

"Dr. Mobius, let's continue our previous topic."

Without any unnecessary pleasantries, Ye Chang'an liked to get straight to the point.

Mobius also preferred to get straight to the point and immediately asked, "So, what was your lie?"

"Don't rush. Before I tell you, I'd like to ask Miss Blanca to promise not to spread what I'm about to say."

Ye Chang'an turned to look at Blanca, feeling a bit distrustful of the girl who looked so much like Griseo.

There was too little information about her in the game; he only knew she was Mobius's assistant and Griseo's mother.

Her personality hadn't been mentioned much either, so it was better to clarify things first.

"Huh? Me? I won't say anything. I promise I won't tell anyone."

Blanca quickly raised her hand to promise, though she hadn't been paying attention to what they were talking about.

She was too busy admiring Ye Chang'an's face.

"Thank you, Miss Blanca."

Ye Chang'an thanked her with a smile. His kind and humble attitude made Blanca's eyes sparkle.

"Dr. Mobius, regarding your previous question, my lie is... that's right, the Chang'an Melody does have a certain therapeutic effect."

He turned to look at Mobius and stated the answer with a serious expression, but the premise of deliberately giving a false answer made Mobius speechless.

—Is this guy a bit weird? Doesn't he get tired of talking like this?

The truth is a denial, and the lie is an affirmation.

What's the deal? Playing riddles with truth and lies?

Mobius disliked guessing games and used this false statement as a basis for her inquiry.

"What specific therapeutic effects does it have, Mr. Chang'an? Could you tell me?"

"I'm not entirely sure about the specific effects; I'm still exploring them.

However, Dr. Mobius, you should have seen one of the effects: it causes the strange markings on the audience's skin to fade and disappear."

Ye Chang'an shook his head as he spoke, and Mobius looked thoughtful.

She had indeed seen it, but she still didn't understand the principle behind it.

Especially since Ye Chang'an wouldn't admit it properly, still playing riddles with truth and lies.

It was quite annoying.

"Mr. Chang'an, would you be interested in cooperating with me for an experiment? I'd like to verify if I was just seeing things."

She wanted to test the effects of the Chang'an Melody in a different setting, using controlled variables to determine if it was indeed the Chang'an Melody that was effective.

"Will it take a lot of time?" Ye Chang'an asked.

"Yes," Mobius nodded.

There were too many variables at the performance venue. They would need to meticulously check and repeat experiments, which would definitely take a lot of time.

If Ye Chang'an refused... then Mobius wouldn't mind having people from the Moth of the Fire "invite" this superstar to cooperate with the experiment.

With the fate of all humanity at stake, how could she possibly care about his performances?

Ye Chang'an naturally wasn't willing to spend that kind of time and directly shook his head.

"Dr. Mobius, if you just want to verify it, I can let you confirm it right now."

"Oh? Really?" Mobius raised an eyebrow, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

"It's true, but I'll need Miss Blanca to be a volunteer. Is that alright with you, Miss Blanca?"

Ye Chang'an turned to ask Blanca.

"Huh? Of course, I can! What do I need to do?"

Blanca was more than willing. She then followed Ye Chang'an's instructions and remained still, trying her best to stay calm about what was about to happen.

Next, Ye Chang'an gathered the surrounding destruction energy around Blanca, quickly causing erosion markings to appear on her body.

This move was a bit devious, but effective.

After all, he could heal her with the Chang'an Melody, so there was no fear of anything going wrong.

"Alright, Doctor Mobius, Miss Blanca has now contracted that illness. You can now observe her changes and conduct your verification."

Ye Chang'an pointed at Blanca, and Mobius was a bit taken aback.

She knew Blanca wasn't sick, and she had been watching Ye Chang'an the whole time, not seeing him do anything strange.

So, she turned her head to look at Blanca in confusion, only to find that her healthy assistant was now covered in numerous erosion markings.

"Blanca, what's going on?"

She exclaimed in disbelief.

"Doctor, what's wrong with me? I don't feel anything." Obedient Blanca sat there without even moving her eyes. It was only Mobius's exclamation that made her look down, and she was also startled by the erosion markings on her body.

"Wow, what is this? When did it appear? I didn't even feel it."

She didn't recognize the erosion markings yet.

"I put them there just now. Don't worry, they'll disappear soon."

Ye Chang'an explained, then took out his flute and began to play the Chang'an Melody.

Once wasn't enough, so he played it again and again until the erosion markings on Blanca's skin completely vanished.
