Chapter 206

However, after the last Myriad Treasures Pavilion auction, her net worth skyrocketed to over 100 million, so it's not unreasonable for her to indulge in such extravagance occasionally.

Xu Jintang pursed his lips, deciding to splurge later as well.

That afternoon, Xu Jintang and his two companions embarked on a spending spree.

It continued until the sun was almost setting.

Song Tianqi made a call immediately, followed by a loud sob. "Where did you three go! What are you doing, leaving Xue Zhongqi and me in the dormitory?!"

Xue Zhongqi's sobbing followed immediately. "That's right! Did you go see some handsome guy behind our backs?"

Xu Jintang: "No. You two are the most handsome guys in our eyes, how could we possibly go looking for other people behind your backs?"

Xue Zhongqi and Song Tianqi, who were originally planning to complain, were both stunned.

Song Tianqi: "?"

Something's not right. The class monitor's attitude suddenly changed today; he's actually praising them!

Xue Zhongqi also looked incredulous. "You said we're both handsome?"

Xu Jintang nodded. "Yes. Is there anything else?"

Song Tianqi and the other man were silent for a few seconds, then cleared their throats in unison.

Xue Zhongqi: "It's alright now. When are you coming back?"

"I'm going back right after shopping. That's all, bye." Xu Jintang replied casually and quickly hung up.

Across from them, Yan Yuting winked at Xu Jintang, "The class monitor's got a quick mind. Let's go, let's go see some handsome guys, without taking those two along."

Chapter 206

As night fell, the city lights came on one by one.

Inside the circular stadium in the northeastern part of the central urban area.

Fans queuing to enter held up various support banners and wristbands, their expressions filled with excitement.

"Shen Mucheng! Shen Mucheng!"

"Wood Spirit Show will always be No. 1!"

"My brother is so handsome!!"

The air was filled with excited screams, which stirred up the enthusiasm of Xu Jintang and his two companions.

Yan Yuting raised the glow stick she had just received at the event and waved it along with the fans, shouting, "Shen Mucheng! Shen Mucheng!"

Just fifteen minutes earlier, Xu Jintang and his two companions had finished their shopping spree and were about to leave when the shop owner suddenly and enthusiastically presented them with three concert tickets for the Wood Spirit Show Idol Group.

They already had the tickets, so why not go see the concert? The three of them immediately headed to the venue.

After queuing for a short while, the three entered the venue one after another.

Their tickets were all in the first row of the inner area, which were VIP seats, the closest to the stage and with the best view.

Xu Jintang leaned back comfortably in his chair, playing with his light stick in his hand, his gaze fixed on the stage.

The stage was very large, with various lights arranged around and above it, making it look very dazzling.

"Thank you to all our fans for coming and supporting us! There are only ten minutes left before the Wood Spirit Show group's performance begins, so please stay tuned!"

The host's voice slowly echoed throughout the venue.

The fans, already seated, began chanting in unison. "Wood Spirit Show! Wood Spirit Show!"

The loudest voices called for Shen Mucheng, showing that he has the most fans.

"Shen Mucheng is so handsome! Shen Mucheng!" Yan Yuting, who was standing nearby, also joined in the fun and shouted excitedly.

Jiang Shiyi remained relatively calm, merely gazing at the stage, presumably waiting for the performance to begin.

Xu Jintang rested her hands on the armrests of the chair, half-closed her eyes, and began to take a nap.

Soon after, rhythmic accompaniment began.

At the same time, all the lights suddenly turned on, illuminating the scene with a dazzling array of colors.

Xu Jintang opened his eyes and looked at the stage.

A small lift platform slowly rose from the center of the huge circular arena, and all the members of the Wood Spirit Show group stood on it, each striking a cool pose.

Shen Mucheng stood in the center, bathed in the soft glow of the overhead lights.

He crouched slightly, his hands resting on his knees, and when he looked up, he revealed a pair of bright, clear eyes.

"Ahhhhh, Shen Mucheng!"

Shen Mucheng is so handsome!

The venue was immediately filled with screams from fans.

"Squad leader, Shen Mucheng is getting more and more handsome." Yan Yuting nudged Xu Jintang's arm with a sly smile.

Xu Jintang stroked his chin, a slight smile playing on his lips. "He really is handsome."

"I heard that Shen Mucheng's mental strength level is already at the Sixth Tier, which is quite good for his age. Sigh, he's also so handsome, no wonder he has so many fans," Yan Yuting remarked.

Jiang Shiyi crossed her arms, gazing at the stage, and quietly said, "Shen Mucheng's superpower is the Illusory Color Butterfly, a special type of superpower that can create illusions. You think he's handsome, probably because of the effects of his superpower."

Xu Jintang looked over curiously, "It even has this kind of superpower effect?"

"Yes, I've heard of it too." Yan Yuting nodded. "Some people on the forum have also mentioned Shen Mucheng's Illusory Color Butterfly, but this ability doesn't harm most fans. On the contrary, it might even bring them a certain boost to their mental cultivation. That's probably why he has such a high number of fans. Some people who don't like him might come to the concert because of this boost to the purity of their mental cultivation."

"That's right," Jiang Shiyi replied.

Xu Jintang's eyes widened.

No wonder Shen Mucheng is so popular; watching his concerts can even increase the purity of one's spiritual energy.

"Then I'll have to take a good look at it today." Xu Jintang immediately sat up straight, adopting a proper attitude as he looked at the stage.

Soon, the lights went out.

A cheerful accompaniment then began.

The beam of light shone on Shen Mucheng, drawing everyone's attention to him.

Shen Mucheng slowly stood up, and as he looked up, he raised the microphone in his hand. His sexy thin lips parted slightly, and a gentle and affectionate voice came out.

Xu Jintang swayed her glow stick to the rhythm of the song.

Yan Yuting also closed her eyes in ecstasy, her body swaying with the movement.

As the song reached its climax in the chorus, the tempo gradually quickened, and the drumbeats became more forceful. At that moment, a faint blue light emanated from Shen Mucheng and began to spread towards the surrounding audience.

The faint blue light, like fireflies, twinkled and flew towards the audience.

A tiny dot of light landed in front of Xu Jintang.

She instinctively reached out to touch the dot.

The tiny, luminous dots instantly entered her fingertips, followed by a warm current flowing into her body, bringing a pure sense of comfort.

A hint of surprise flashed in Xu Jintang's eyes.

It does indeed improve the purity of mental energy, although the effect is negligible. However, over the long term, it should add up to a considerable amount.

Shen Mucheng's singing grew louder and louder, and the accompaniment became more intense.

Soft dots of light were sprinkled onto the audience in batches.

Until the song ended.

Xu Jintang stretched lazily, feeling refreshed. "Cultivating while listening to music is definitely a good deal."

"Right? I suggest we three organize these kinds of gatherings more often in the future." Yan Yuting nodded repeatedly.

On the other side, Jiang Shiyi was also experiencing the enhanced effects of the song.

After absorbing all the energy from the light spots, she opened her eyes and nodded. "If you listen for a long time, the enhancement effect is indeed quite good. However, the price of tickets for the Wood Spirit Show group's concert has been inflated five or six times over. If we were to collect tickets ourselves, each one would probably cost at least tens of thousands of yuan. Considering everything, it's actually not worthwhile."

Xu Jintang also began to calculate the accounts.

A single ticket costs over ten thousand yuan, but its effect on enhancing the purity of her mental energy is estimated to be only 0.1%, making the cost and benefit unfavorable.

"Sigh, watching one now and then is just for the eyes." She spread her hands and leaned back in her chair, relaxing.

Yan Yuting nodded, "Yeah, seeing handsome guys always makes me happy, hahaha."

The atmosphere throughout the concert was very relaxed and joyful.

It didn't end until evening.

After the event ended, Xu Jintang and the other two stretched as they walked out of the venue.

"Let's go, let's go back to sleep, I'm so sleepy." Yan Yuting yawned repeatedly, already extremely sleepy.

Xu Jintang didn't seem as energetic as when she first arrived. She waved her hand, "Let's go, back to the dorm."

The three of them returned to the villa before dawn.

I thought Song Tianqi and the other guy were already asleep, but as soon as I entered the door, I heard Song Tianqi shout angrily, "Class monitor! Have all three of you lost your conscience?!"

Xu Jintang paused slightly, feeling a bit awkward.

She touched her nose and explained, "We... ran into some trouble along the way, so we came back late."

With a "snap," all the lights in the living room were turned on.

The pitch-black villa was instantly illuminated.

Xue Zhongqi crossed his arms in front of him, his face stern, staring at Xu Jintang and the other two with a serious expression, as if he were about to interrogate them.

Song Tianqi stood to the side, hands on his hips, his face sullen, occasionally letting out a cold laugh, "Ha, you think we'd believe your nonsense?"

"Tell me, what did you do all afternoon leaving us here?"

Yan Yuting was also a little embarrassed.

She lowered her head and cleared her throat. "Okay, I admit it, we went to Shen Mucheng's concert."

Xu Jintang stood to the side, nodding repeatedly, "Mhm."

Jiang Shiyi's silence also implied agreement.

"Fine! Fine! You three treat us like this! This isn't over! I'm going to tell Teacher Zhuang, tell her that the league hasn't even started yet and our experimental class is already fighting amongst ourselves!"

With that, Song Tianqi turned and went upstairs, looking aggrieved.

Xue Zhongqi merely glanced at the three of them briefly, giving them a "you'd better watch yourselves" look, before turning and going upstairs.

After a moment of silence, Yan Yuting leaned closer to Xu Jintang and whispered, "Have we gone a bit too far?"

"They're just being dramatic. They'll be fine once they're done." Xu Jintang waved his hand. "Let's go back to sleep."
