Chapter 136 The Queen of Heaven Returns
"Don't let go." Li Lei gripped her even tighter.
Xia Ling was very angry, and tried her best to struggle, but she didn't break free. Just as he was about to continue earning money, the crystal chandeliers in the hall suddenly went out. Her movements stagnated, she looked up, and saw a beam of light slowly emerging from the darkness in front of her, projecting on the host on the stage. The host's low and sweet voice came: "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for coming to the release reception of Queen Xia Ling's final song - "Butterfly in the Cage"."
The scene suddenly fell silent.
Everyone held their breath and waited for the next step.
It's hard for Xia Ling to continue to break free from Li Lei's hand, otherwise there would be too much movement.
She was grabbed by Li Lei, and she stood where she was, listening to the host's narration. The host recalled her life in her previous life, introduced the general situation of the song, and finally said: "You will definitely be curious. Queen Xia Ling has passed away, and her legendary voice has become her last song. Her former royal producer Mr. Feng Kun How did you restore this song? Next, I will reveal it to everyone.”
This is indeed something that everyone is curious about. Her singing voice is very unique, with a wide vocal range, and she can easily control many difficult tones, which is impossible for others to imitate.
Who can sing her such an important posthumous song after her death?
Xia Ling herself was very curious, forgetting that she was still angry with Li Lei, she calmed down and stared at the screen without blinking. She believed that Feng Kun's vision would definitely choose the most suitable singer to perform this song, who would it be?
Light and shadow change on the stage.
There was a flood of noise and cheers from all directions.
She faintly felt a little familiar, and saw countless light spots slowly emerging in the void, gold, silver, purple... like fireflies flying. Gradually, all the light spots gathered together and condensed into an extremely beautiful girl. The girl's shadow stood quietly, wearing a gorgeous dress, holding the microphone gently with her hand wearing a pink diamond bracelet, her head slightly raised, revealing an incomparably gorgeous face. Her pair of phoenix eyes flowed like water, like a queen ruling the world, able to charm all beings with just one look.
This is……
"Xia Ling... is Xia Ling, the Queen of Heaven!"
There was a commotion in the crowd.
No one expected to see the Empress Dowager here. This press conference used 3D holographic projection technology to perfectly reproduce her last concert before her death! In the stereo surround sound system, the fans cheered loudly, and countless people shouted rhythmically: Encore! Encore! Encore! …
This is the actual soundtrack of the day.
A real reproduction of that concert.
Xia Ling felt dizzy. She didn't expect it to be like this. For a moment, she felt as if she had returned to the tall and huge stage. Looking at the 100,000 crazy fans under the stage, she said -
"Okay, then sing an encore at the end."
This voice is substantive, not from her memories, but from the illusory projection on the stage. Music sounded from all directions, the psychedelic prelude, like chaotic falling flowers, sometimes violent and sometimes sad, tactful and passionate. ——Different from that day, that day, she sang a cappella without a prelude.
Xia Ling stood in the crowd, and like all the other guests, was shocked by this sudden prelude.
Like a storm, with the usual clang and magnificence of Feng Kun's arrangements, as well as the arrogance and unattainability of defending her diva halo for more than ten years. But it is extremely desolate, like a cuckoo weeping blood and a peony shattering.
Everyone was captivated. On the stage, the illusory projection sang alone like she did that day——
If we hadn't met in that year/end/would it have been different...
Like a butterfly lost in time / I can’t tell / That gentle you / Is it real or a dream...
A sound, knocking on the heart.
Xia Ling looked pale and had difficulty breathing. Before the song started, she had imagined ten thousand possibilities, and even jokingly suspected that Feng Kun had just randomly found an inferior singer to perform the song, but she never expected that. This song turned out to be a mix of her original a cappella tracks.
The recording effect of the concert is far inferior to that of the recording studio. It sounds rusty, and many places are burst and broken.
But this added a bit of desperation to "Butterfly in the Cage", as if an invisible giant hand was holding her heart fiercely, squeezing and trampling her. The dark memories of her previous life came roaring back, and she couldn't bear it. She didn't know where the strength came from, so she threw Li Lei away and held her hand, turned around and ran out of the reception hall.
She bumped into many people along the way, but she didn't feel it. She didn't wake up until she stopped under a huge flower tree.
"Xiao Ling, are you alright?" It was Li Lei who chased him out.
She held on to the ancient mottled trunk of the flower tree and slowly squatted down. Fragments of the past were already flashing back, the barking mastiff, the demonic man holding a blood-stained whip...
The moonlight flickered on the side of her face, making her look frighteningly pale.
Li Lei looked at her huddled in a circle, leaned down, and gently hugged her into his arms. He didn't know what was happening, but he could feel her pain and fear, and used the only way he could think of to give her a sense of security and comfort. Damn it, she obviously doesn't care about him at all and doesn't react when she sees him with other women. Why can't he let her go, and his heart aches when he finds out that she is hurt?
Holding the petite and soft body in his arms, Li Lei thought that he might have suffered a setback in his life.
Xia Ling slowly calmed down with his body temperature and his steady embrace. She saw the person holding her clearly, but reached out and tried to push him away.
"Xiao Ling." Li Lei was a little worried and hurt.
Xia Ling looked at him with a complicated expression. There was even a trace of Gu Lin's perfume lingering on his body. She didn't understand why she felt at ease in the arms of such a man. He obviously couldn't give her the loyalty she wanted.
"Since there is Gu Lin, why do you still come to me." Her voice was hoarse.
Li Lei was startled, and suddenly a surge of joy welled up from the bottom of his heart: "Are you...jealous?"
Xia Ling was quiet for a while and then said: "Yes, I am jealous. But I will not try to save you, Li Lei. I don't want to play any love games that cause waves of affection. If you are involved with other women, Even if I like you again, I will give up on you."
"You said, you like me?" Li Lei's voice trembled with joy.
Xia Ling: "...Did you pay attention to the point?"
"Xiao Ling, I'm so happy that you like me." Li Lei hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his arms, "This is the first time you said you like me...I swear, from now on, Never do anything that makes you sad again, absolutely keep a distance from all other women, and only allow you to approach me alone."
Good, it seems he still heard the point.
Xia Ling nodded and stood up: "Remember your words, Li Lei."
The moonlight sprinkled on her face through the flowers and trees, hazy and beautiful, like a dream.
"I will never betray you." Li Lei said, raising his head and looking at her, "Xiao Ling, what happened to you just now? You rushed out of the venue suddenly. Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
