So This Is What You're Like, Mash / Is the Dragon Girl Holding Another Concert?

Backstage, where everything was almost ready, Elizabeth Báthory put her hands on her hips and said to Yuxian, "I'm so angry! I must surpass them and show them my true abilities."

Yuxian stood there noncommittally, not saying a word; he didn't know what to say.

"Little puppy, don't you believe me either?" Elizabeth Báthory stared into Yuxian's eyes and said.

"Keep it up!" Yuxian gestured to encourage Elizabeth Báthory, "You're the best!"

He certainly wouldn't say anything discouraging; he absolutely couldn't stir up trouble at this time. He only hoped that the concert could end smoothly, so that there would be some closure and to prevent the Elizabeth Báthory from causing any more trouble.

"You truly are my personal agent! You absolutely must work hard for me; I trust you completely!"

What could Yuxian say after hearing what the Elizabeth Báthory said?

He could only do his best to cooperate with the Elizabeth Báthory, and he really tried his best to cooperate with her.

The stage decorations would be handled by staff, so Yuxian didn't need to worry about them. He stayed by Elizabeth Báthory's side, watching her recite the performance schedule over and over again.

It has to be said that Elizabeth Báthory really put her heart and soul into this concert. She worked very hard to do every detail well. Elizabeth Báthory is really going all out to become an idol.

Yuxian smiled knowingly, thinking to himself that talent is really important. Some people become popular stars just by dabbling in it, while others work hard for a long time but still can't get started.

He shook his head helplessly, hoping that Elizabeth Báthory wouldn't be too upset after the concert, as this was indeed a bit cruel for her.

But on second thought, given Elizabeth Báthory's personality, she doesn't seem like the type to be easily discouraged.

In this respect, she is very similar to Nero.

Both of them possess extraordinary self-confidence, and minor setbacks simply cannot affect them.

In fact, Yuxian felt that it was not impossible for Elizabeth Báthory to become an idol, but she had always been too focused on singing, and probably had never thought of any other way to become an idol except through concerts.

"Little puppy, you must come from the audience and enjoy my performance in a little while."

It was getting late, and the concert was about to begin. Elizabeth Báthory was full of energy and ready.

Yuxian couldn't refuse her request. The VIP seat had already been prepared for him, so he could only accept it with a smile and even have to appear very happy.

"Don't worry, I'll be watching you from the audience. You have to keep going!"

Yuxian smiled and encouraged Elizabeth Báthory, making a fist gesture towards her and shouting, "Fighting!"

"Fighting!"

The Elizabeth Báthory smiled confidently, as if Yuxian's encouragement had truly given her great strength.

Chapter 17, Section 454: So This Is What You're Like Mash

Yuxian at the very front of the stage, in the closest spot. As expected of a VIP seat, it was extremely close to the stage, almost an arm's length away.

Looking back at the empty venue, it was clear that the sales were far from what the Elizabeth Báthory had hoped for.

She didn't have that much influence; only a handful of people attended her concerts.

The children weren't with Yuxian. They were too clever for their own good and wouldn't come to keep Yuxian hiding.

Upon hearing about the Elizabeth Báthory's concert, those little rascals ran faster than rabbits, Yuxian with no chance to grab a few to take down with him.

As Little Jeanne said, "Master, you can go by yourself. We're still children and don't know how to appreciate it!"

However, the wariness in his eyes was obvious. As soon as Yuxian showed any intention of getting close to grab someone, he would turn around and run away without a trace.

"They're all a bunch of heartless bastards," Yuxian muttered to himself as he sat in his seat.

He turned to look at Mash, who was beside him, and said with great emotion, "My junior is the best. She will never leave me."

Mash looked troubled, unsure of how to begin.

She quickly took out some prepared items and handed them to Yuxian.

"Senior, these are earplugs; you'll definitely need them."

Yuxian nodded. Mash was indeed good; her preparations were thorough.

He was about to praise Mash when he saw Mash taking out things one after another. "This is a towel. When you can't hold it in, remember to bite your mouth. Don't bite your tongue."

"And this too." Mash took out a strap that looked like a seatbelt. "This is to tie you up, Senpai. You absolutely cannot leave halfway through. Elizabeth will get angry if she doesn't see Senpai."

Yuxian blinked, feeling that something was off; this didn't seem like the kind of thing that would involve accompanying him to a concert.

"Let me tie you up, senior."

Mash quickly tied Yuxian to the seat, then clapped her hands and said, "We'll come and untie you as soon as the concert is over, so don't worry."

"Huh?" Yuxian stared wide-eyed at Mash. "You guys?"

"Yes!" Mash replied matter-of-factly. "The children can't be left unsupervised. I'm afraid they'll cause trouble, so I have to keep an eye on them. I'll leave things here in your care, senior!"

Mash finished speaking and walked away without looking back.

Yuxian was completely dumbfounded; this wasn't what they had agreed on!

"Mash! Mash! Don't go!..."

Yuxian's call did not soften Mash's heart in the slightest; on the contrary, she took even bigger steps.

"So this is what you're like, junior!"

Yuxian spat out a vicious snort, looked up at the sky speechlessly, and tears welled up in his eyes.

He can't leave now; Mash has him tied to the seat, and he has no way to untie himself.

Fortunately, his hands could still bend slightly in front of him. Yuxian lowered his head to put on his earplugs, wrapped a towel around his neck, and prepared to bite down on it at any moment, looking like he was ready to die.

This isn't a concert, it's like sitting on a torture rack!

A few more audience members arrived sporadically; after all, some people would want to try out a concert by a newcomer.

It's like an adventure, maybe even a unique performance, the beginning of a rising star.

The concert tickets are not expensive, making it a good choice for people with free time to pass the time.

Of course, they will definitely experience a concert they will never forget. It's true that not everyone can have such an opportunity, and these audience members really hit the jackpot in a way.

Time ticked by, and finally the moment of the concert's opening arrived. Yuxian was incredibly nervous.

Although I had prepared myself mentally, I still couldn't help but feel particularly anxious when the moment came.

A pleasant melody began, and the concert officially started.

The Elizabeth Báthory, dressed in her finest attire, makes a dazzling entrance.

"Welcome everyone to my concert! Elizabeth Bathory guarantees that you will not regret it!"

The Elizabeth Báthory's image was very cute, and the audience below the stage cheered, showing great affection for this sweet-looking girl.

They felt a sense of joy that the ticket price was well worth it.

What a steal!

When Elizabeth Báthory saw Yuxian sitting leisurely in the first row, closest to the stage, her smile widened.

Holding the microphone, she said, "You must want to hear my singing, right? Well then, let me show you the most popular songs I've prepared for you."

The atmosphere became lively, and despite the small number of people, Yuxian could still hear loud cheers.

Even before she started singing, the Elizabeth Báthory's performance absolutely met the criteria for an idol, without a doubt.

Even Yuxian had to admit that Elizabeth Báthory really had the aura of a star, and was not at all shabby.

However, since it's called a concert, singing will definitely begin.

As soon as Elizabeth Báthory began to sing, the sound that echoed throughout the venue seemed to possess a magical power; although it wasn't very loud, it went straight into the ears.

Even with earplugs, Yuxian couldn't avoid getting a headache from the Elizabeth Báthory's voice, so you can imagine what the other audience members were like.

Some fled in panic, disoriented, while others slumped in their seats, utterly dejected.

The Elizabeth Báthory was completely oblivious, and even sang more and more enthusiastically, occasionally running over to interact with Yuxian.

With each approach, Yuxian felt as if his body was no longer his own, but he still had to force a smile at the Elizabeth Báthory.

"I'm someone who can even get close to Serenity, so a mere Elizabeth Báthory's concert can't possibly defeat me!"

Yuxian encouraged himself in this way, forcing himself to stay there and numbing his senses.

Most of the audience members who were going to escape had already fled, and those who remained were probably unconscious and unable to move.

Yu Xian was the only one who was able to listen to the entire concert without missing Yuxian.

This is his responsibility as Master. You know, it's not easy for the Elizabeth Báthory to hold a concert, and it would be too pitiful if no one listened to the end.

Yuxian persevered to the very end, remaining seated firmly even after the Elizabeth Báthory's concert officially came to a close, without fainting.

"Phew—" Yuxian breathed a sigh of relief, "It's finally over!"

Mash sneaked up to Yuxian 'Yuxian side without him noticing, and waved her hand in front of his eyes.

"Senior, are you alright?"

Yuxian said irritably, "I'm great!"

"Hehe..." Mash stuck out her tongue and said with an awkward laugh, "I'll untie you right away, senpai."

"If it weren't for the fact that the kids really needed someone to take care of them, I would definitely have come to Elizabeth's concert with my senior."

Yuxian rolled his eyes. He realized that there wasn't a single good person among them!

Chapter 18, Section 455: Is the Elizabeth Báthory Going to Hold Another Concert?

Yuxian dragged his tired body back to the hotel, where he lay limply on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

He blanked out his mind, not thinking about anything, and just lay there in a daze.

Even though it was still early, he didn't want to move at all. He just wanted to lie there and couldn't muster the energy to do anything.

The children peeked into the room from the doorway, looking somewhat worried about Yuxian's condition.

"What's wrong with Master? Has he gone mad?"

"How pitiful, she actually went to Elizabeth's concert, she must have suffered a great blow."

"I told you he couldn't go, but you all tried to stop him. Now look what's happened, the Master is completely dumbfounded."

"You yourself run incredibly fast, yet you criticize us."

The children spoke loudly, without any intention of being Yuxian.

Yuxian could hear what they were saying, so he smiled helplessly and continued to lie there without getting up.

Now the children were even more worried. Usually, when they said that, Yuxian would definitely react.

Yuxian raised his right hand weakly and waved towards the door, signaling the children to come over; he had something to say.

The children blinked, looked at each other, and slowly walked to Yuxian's side with some doubt.

Little Jeanne nudged Yuxian and asked with concern, "Master, are you alright?"

"Why..."

Yuxian sighed heavily, still lying there listlessly, unresponsive to the children's nudging.

The children became really anxious and all gathered around, looking at Yuxian with concerned expressions.

Yuxian turned her head slightly to look at the children and said weakly, "You've come..."

Just as the children were thinking of comforting him, Yu Xian Yuxian sprang up from the bed.

He spread his arms wide, stretching them out to the maximum extent, and pulled them forward with force.

"Run? Where do you think you're going to run!"

Caught off guard, the children were caught red-handed by Yuxian. Only a few of the quickest ones managed to escape, as Yuxian's arm length was limited.

The others were all pulled into Yuxian's arms and tightly held under his arms.

"You bunch of heartless bastards! I've always been so good to you, but when it comes to the crucial moment, you all run away. You have no loyalty whatsoever."
