The Opera House's Unhinged Singing
final.
Zhou Qing didn't tell Alice that Su Yuntao had broken up with Sisi, and he also stopped Xiao Wu from blurting it out.
After leaving the Nuoding Guild, Xiao Wu asked, puzzled, "Why wouldn't you let me say it? Isn't it better for lovers to be together in the end?"
"Please, Bro Tao just broke up with his girlfriend, shouldn't we give him some time to process this?"
Zhou Qing rolled her eyes. "Besides, Miss Alice's feelings are unrequited. She's never explicitly told Su Yuntao before. If we suddenly ask her to confess, even Bro Tao himself would find it strange, right?"
"That seems to be true. It seems that Bro Tao really will have to be a lone wolf for a long time, just like his Lone Solitary Wolf Martial Soul." Xiao Wu agreed with Zhou Qing's point of view.
Her words made Zhou Qing once again marvel at the influence of Martial Soul on a person's character.
No!
Take Su Yuntao, who possesses the "Solitary Wolf" Martial Soul, as an example. This Martial Soul can no longer be described as an influence; it has evolved into a curse that condemns one to single life!
Although this statement is somewhat exaggerated, it takes into account that Martial Soul possess their own instincts.
For example, Yu Xiaogang Luo Sanpao, who seems to have self-awareness like Yu Xiaogang, or the Light Goddess Butterfly, who would actively choose the most beautiful person on the continent to become her Martial Soul.
Although these two examples are special cases, judging from the fact that the Soul Master who possess these types of Martial Soul also need to absorb Soul Ring to acquire Soul Skill, their difference from the vast majority of Martial Soul lies only in their "quality." Something more fundamental is likely the same...
While they were thinking, Zhou Qing and Tang San followed Xiao Wu to the Nuoding Opera House.
Each person spent three Copper Soul Coin to buy a ticket, entered the venue, found three seats next to each other, and watched the performance of "Heaven Dou Royal".
The so-called "Heaven Dou Royal" tells the story of the rise of the Heaven Dou Empire, but mainly focuses on the love between the founder of the Heaven Dou Empire and a woman from the common people.
Um--
It has a very distinctive feature of the Douluo Continent: a celebration of love.
The story ends with that commoner woman becoming the concubine of the founder of the Heaven Dou Kingdom.
However, besides "The Heaven Dou Royal", there are also operas such as "Commander Heaven Dou" and "Battle Star Luo" that focus on defending the country.
Although these operas don't provide a true understanding of the history of the Heaven Dou Empire, Zhou Qing can glean insights into why the Heaven Dou Empire's leadership allows these operas to exist among the common people:
This will enhance the people's sense of identity and belonging to the Heaven Dou Royal Family.
And what about the definition of "ordinary people"...?
At least in this era, this should not include those who went to the countryside. Zhou Qing could tell this from the fact that his parents, whom he had never met, died and were left unattended.
After "The Heaven Dou Royal" ended, the next program was a singing performance, and the performer was none other than Romantina!
"Hello everyone, I'm Romantina, and I'm back again!"
Romantina's opening remarks... proved she was clearly not a first-timer. "He didn't want the real singer to perform this time; he asked me to sing in his place. Why? He's been knocked unconscious by me!"
Zhou Qing: "..."
In terms of abstraction and madness, I would call you the strongest!
However, this does allow you to shift your focus and temporarily put aside all those random, irrelevant thoughts.
Tang San rubbed his forehead and said, "I reckon if she weren't the daughter of the deputy city lord, she would have been beaten to death long ago."
Xiao Wu was much more careful, examining the ticket in her hand repeatedly until she finally found a line of small print: Romantina Family Business.
"Recently, I spent two and a half days writing a new song, and I hope you all like it! I named this song: Brave Bull! Fearless!"
After Romantina finished speaking, she began to stomp in place, each step making a loud thud, especially since the stage was made of wood and there were amplifying Soul Tool around it, so the sound reached the ears of every audience member present.
Many audience members covered their ears, and some even wanted to flee the venue.
"Should we leave too?" Tang San had a premonition that his ears might suffer an unimaginable shock later, so he asked Zhou Qing and Xiao Wu.
"Let's listen to it." Zhou Qing thought that since he was already here, he might as well watch it. Besides, he would be on the same team as Romantina in the future, so he had to get used to her sudden neuroticism first.
"That's right, it cost three Copper Soul Coin." Xiao Wu simply didn't want those three Copper Soul Coin to go to waste.
Then.
Romantina's footsteps softened, and the musicians beside the stage played drums, pianos, and flutes, their melodies becoming very soothing and cheerful.
"Sunny~bright~sunny day~"
"I really wish I could go on an adventure!"
"A new member has suddenly joined the guild!"
"Hehehehe! Hehehehe! Hehehehe! Hahaha!"
Romantina has already started.
"Well, how should I put it? I guess it's alright." Tang San felt a tiny, fleeting sense of shame for his earlier doubts. Although the lyrics sounded simple, they weren't unpleasant to listen to.
The last sentence was spoken with a slightly off-key laugh.
Xiao Wu retorted, "What does this have to do with cows?"
Zhou Qing only suspected that after that eerie laughter, the lyrics might become extremely bizarre.
However, Zhou Qing miscalculated; Romantina's next song was more formal:
"Notting ~ in the forest~ obtained Soul Ring ~"
"A worm suddenly appeared!"
"You said you wanted to invade my brain!"
"La la la la! Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Hiss hiss hiss! Ah ah ah!"
Although the lyrics of the second verse were a bit abstract, the melody was still the same, so Zhou Qing didn't feel anything was wrong.
Until Romantina suddenly started rapping loudly and rapidly:
"I never expected that my friends wouldn't come to see me the next day!"
"I've been abandoned!"
"Aaaaaah!"
"This is so awesome! They're amazing! o( ̄▽ ̄)d!"
Zhou Qing: " ̄□ ̄||"
Xiao Wu: " ̄□ ̄||"
Tang San: " ̄□ ̄||"
Not only the three of them, but most of the audience was stunned at this moment, not understanding why the tone of the lyrics changed so quickly!
And you actually felt good about being abandoned by your companions?
Are you out of your mind?!
More importantly, what is the connection between this song and "Brave Bull! Fearless!", and the word "bull"?
"Thank you all for your support. See you next time."
Ordinary singers perform at the Opera House, singing at least a dozen songs, sometimes for two hours, but Romantina only sang one, and the contrast between the beginning and end of the song was too great.
The first two sections are soothing and harmonious, with a childlike innocence, while the last section is a crazy rap with an extremely loud and fast voice that is deafening.
This art is a bit too ahead of its time!
So!
The audience shouted curses and showed no respect whatsoever to the deputy city lord's daughter.
At this moment, Romantina turned around and listened quietly to the shouts and curses from the audience. Her face turned red, her breathing became rapid, and her shoulders trembled.
This isn't shame, but rather enjoying it—
Ah! Let the audience's Taunt and insults come even more fiercely!
Romantina's heart was screaming wildly!
"You're really out of your mind!"
After completing the sacrifice, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could no longer read Romantina's immediate memories, but he could still sense the intense mental fluctuations she was experiencing—it was so intense that it was difficult for him not to be affected.
"Because there's a worm in my brain!" Romantina's serious reply caused Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to roar like a mad groundhog!
Unfortunately, those outside couldn't hear the roar...
