Chapter 361

Through the shouts of the tourists, Shi Lei learned the name of the band featuring the busty mature woman. He planned to visit the backstage area later.

Regardless of whether the other party is a time traveler or not, it's always good to test the waters first.

Seeing him turn around repeatedly, Exusiai waved her hand in front of her and asked with a smile:

"Hey, Zhongli, what are you looking at?"

Seeing the busty mature woman surrounded by fans, Shi Lei immediately looked away. He wouldn't tell anyone about his time travel, so he could only offer a vague explanation:

"Nothing."

"Why are you staring at her like that? Anyone who didn't know better would think you're really reluctant to let her go."

Shi Lei knew Exusiai was joking, and not wanting to prolong the conversation, he brushed it off:

"No, I just felt like I recognized him. But I couldn't remember where I'd seen him before, so I took a second look."

Upon hearing this, Texas gave Exusiai a look, signaling her to stop and not make things worse.

Exusiai, being quite tactful, didn't bring it up again. Instead, she steered the conversation towards the Obsidian Music Festival:

"This time, Sistag will be performing all fifteen days' worth of shows in just over thirty hours. This back-to-back performance is so cool!"

Seeing that the topic had been changed, Shi Lei continued:

"If every performance is attended, this crazy music festival will make tourists feel it's great value for money. But what do the local people of Sistag think?"

Texas recalled what she had seen and heard on the street that day, and shook her head with some regret, sighing:

"Well, it probably isn't going to be good. When we heard the broadcast this afternoon, we saw a local resident breaking down in tears. He took out a loan to buy a house and has been paying it off for almost thirty years. He was only a year away from finishing the loan when the volcano erupted, and now he has to start all over again. I wonder how they will be settled after they move to the new area."

A purebred penguin wearing sunglasses, a thick gold chain, and hip-hop style clothing appeared at Garrison Amusement Park.

A female tourist saw it and excitedly shouted:

"My God, it really is the Emperor!"

"Ahhh, Your Emperor, I love you so much!"

Seeing the enthusiastic fans rushing over, Croissant and her bodyguards began to maintain order at the scene:

"Ladies and gentlemen! Please step back!"

The Emperor seemed to enjoy the scene, raising his hand to point at a young man from the Saffran:

"It's okay, let them get closer."

The bodyguard in charge of security looked troubled upon hearing this.

"But, Emperor Majesty, you have a performance to give later. What if something unexpected happens..."

"An accident? Do you think I'd have an accident?"

The Emperor was not worried about assassination; even if a musket was pointed at his head and he was shot, he would be fine.

The Beast Lord is immortal and indestructible.

If one could be killed by such a simple attack, it would be a disgrace to the title of Beast Lord.

But the bodyguard had no idea how to do this, and looked very troubled, as if he was afraid of taking responsibility if something went wrong.

Croissant noticed the bodyguard's concerns and reassured him:

"Our boss said everything is fine, and even if something happens, he won't hold you responsible."

In the end, the bodyguards made way for them. The fans cheered loudly and crowded around them.

"Emperor! Emperor!"

"Emperor! Emperor!"

As many fans chanted its name, one tourist in the crowd stood out with a somber expression:

"The so-called Columbia rap god is just a lucky guy who got lucky by sheer chance."

When the Emperor heard someone cursing, he very magnanimously asked his fans and bodyguards to make way.

"Excuse me, everyone, please move aside. Give the microphone to that person so I can hear what he's complaining about."

The tourist's face grew even more somber. Seeing the microphone handed to him, he felt humiliated.

"This isn't my fault, it's all your fault. Go eat shit, you vile penguin!"

The Emperor looked with interest at the tourist who had pulled out a short gun, and let out a sneer:

"An organization that likes to disguise itself as tourists and assassinate rising stars in the music industry. Do you think I wouldn't recognize you after you roll around in the sewers? If you weren't causing trouble for Siren Records, I wouldn't bother with this crap."

Seeing that their actions had been discovered, the armed tourist immediately shot the Emperor in the forehead:

"Shut up! Die!"

The piercing gunshots instantly triggered panic. Tourists scattered in all directions, fearing they might be caught in the crossfire.

Seeing that the Emperor appeared to have been hit, the bodyguard was so frightened that his voice trembled:

"Emperor Majesty... you, you're injured... I'll call Doctor for you right away."

"No need to call, these are all minor issues."

The Emperor skillfully took out a band-aid and applied it to the wound on his forehead. Soon, he saw his Messenger arrive at the scene aboard Shi Lei's platform.

"Don't be nervous, maintain order at the scene. Leave the rest to the professionals."

Croissant saw her partner waving from afar, completely oblivious to the urgency of her boss being shot.

"Hey, Zhongli, over here!"

Shi Lei landed in front of the sound and asked:

"What happened?"

The Emperor blew on the white smoke rising from the gun barrel, then raised his chin to indicate that the armed tourists were to be looked at.

"A bunch of kids who like to play dirty tricks, how about it, interested in helping me clean them up?"

Shi Lei quickly scanned the area with his Psychic Power and, finding that they were all mortals, joked:

"Sure, but we're currently on vacation, so any extra work will be paid overtime."

Exusiai, standing to the side, echoed:

"I don't want overtime pay, but I want front-row tickets to the concert. Can you get them for us?"

"Hahaha, all set. Although we're a logistics company, when it comes to fighting and brawling, we're the experts. Let's go! Charge!"

At the Emperor's command, the five Messenger immediately attacked. Like reckless brutes, they ignored the crossbow bolts and musket fire. To the astonishment of the numerous bodyguards, they swiftly and decisively ended the battle.

No matter how many rioters there were, they couldn't change the situation of being crushed. Many of them couldn't even withstand half a move; they fell down before even being touched.

The fight here caused tourists to scramble to escape, but it also cleared out the overcrowded area.

Black, who was in charge of security at Garrison Amusement Park, rushed to the scene with his subordinates from the city hall upon hearing the news.

Seeing that Zhongli and the others had subdued the troublemakers, they quickly served them a silver bracelet set.

While apologizing to the Emperor with a forced smile, explaining that there had been too many incidents and security had been inadequate, he simultaneously kicked the troublemakers hard, bringing them to justice.

Shi Lei was still next to the carousel when he spotted Miss Skadi, who had come running after hearing the noise.

She was originally Rhodes Island operator, and since her This Ship is currently on Sistag Beach, it's normal for her to be here.

Seeing Shi Lei nod at her from afar, Skadi nodded back in response.

Seeing that the situation was under control and all the troublemakers had knelt down and surrendered, she knew there was no point in staying any longer, so she turned and left with her greatsword on her back.

Skadi left Garrison Amusement Park, preparing to return to the This Ship to rest under the cover of night. She didn't particularly like the Obsidian Music Festival venue; it was too noisy.

En route, she brushed past a pink-haired mature woman dressed in black and white gothic attire.

Like Alty and Shi Lei, this person does not exhibit any racial characteristics based on his physical appearance alone.

After passing Skadi, she quickly sensed something was amiss. She sniffed the air in the path Skadi had walked through, as if she had made some astonishing discovery.

After Skadi walked away, the pink-haired woman followed her by scent. Finally, at the port of Sistag, she found her boarding a large landship.

Upon seeing the chess symbol on the ship, the pink-haired woman narrowed her eyes. She immediately took out her phone and called her bandmates who were also in Sistag.

The call was answered shortly afterward.

"Alty, I just spotted a very special person on my way to the venue."

"That's quite a coincidence, Aya. I also met a very special person just as the sun was setting. Maybe we're talking about the same person."

Aya withdrew her gaze from the This Ship, showing keen interest:

"Really?"

"It must be true. It's a man who could be one of our own. He doesn't have the aura of someone who lives in the sea all year round. He's probably a land deity."

"Alty, then we're probably not talking about the same person. The woman I met has the aura of Sea Creatures within her, but retains the appearance of Sargol Person."

I followed her all the way and saw her Doctor Kal'tsit's ship, Ama-10. If you get to know her a bit better, I'd like you to go there yourself. Ask Kal'tsit how this special Sargol Person came to be.

"This trip to Sistag has been quite fruitful. The matter you mentioned certainly needs to be confirmed. But the matter of our compatriots on land is equally urgent. How many years has it been since the Yan exterminated and drove away all the land deities?"

"That's true. I'll call Frost to come with me to find Doctor Kal'tsit. You keep in touch with your compatriots on land and call us anytime if anything happens."

"Okay, Aya, I'm hanging up."

430 Imperial Jade Liquor 4K

July 31, 9:00 pm

Soft lights illuminate the night, and dynamic rhythms ignite the heart.

The audience swayed to the music, and cheers and screams filled the air.

Some fans held up light sticks, while others held up banners. Even the least enthusiastic fans held one or two glow sticks, moving slowly with their left and right hands.

The Emperor's songs are like a shot of strong summer liquor. The heat they bring can reach right to the heart.

A high-quality sound system delivers music to every corner, making the audience feel as if they are immersed in an ocean of music, freely swimming in it.

The colorful neon lights and infectious lyrics brought the atmosphere to a climax.

"Awoooooo, Emperor, Emperor!"

"Your Emperor, I love you!"

Shi Lei and his group of twelve sat in the first row of seats in the open-air area of Garrison Amusement Park.

This was not the package ticket that the Emperor had promised them, but rather something that Mayor Herman offered on his own initiative.

They said it was to thank Zhongli for his outstanding contributions to the citizens of Sistag, and sent Hei to deliver the tickets.

Shi Lei did not object to this. In open-air venues like this, the listening experience is better in the front row.

To ensure the concert could proceed smoothly, Shi Lei spread his Psychic Power throughout the entire Garrison Amusement Park.

This allows us to arrive at the scene as soon as an anomaly is detected, minimizing losses.

After the song ended, the Emperor removed his hat and took his bow.

The next singer to take the stage is Miss. Flight Attendant, the mascot of Penguin Logistics.

"Go, Kong!"

With Shi Lei here, Croissant no longer needs to be responsible for Kong and the boss's security. She sat in the front row with everyone, waving her glow stick around.

Exusiai excitedly stood up and swayed, but was quickly asked to sit down by the audience.

The main reason is that the halo around her head was too bright, which greatly affected the view of the audience behind her.

But every Sarkaz has a halo above their head. This halo provides blinding brightness 24 hours a day, and cannot be turned off at will.

Even though Exusiai sat at the edge of the stage, it still affected some of the audience at the back.

"Da... da da da da... da da da da... da... da?"
