Ah, it itches…
The climax begins.
Instantly, everyone inside and outside the fortune-telling shop, except for Chen Yan, couldn't help but shudder.
It felt like someone whose heart, bones, and brain were unbearably itchy, and when Linglingzi sang "Ah, itchy..." in her languid, gentle voice at the very end, all the energy that had been building up before was released in a tingling, numb spasm, and a shiver ran through her whole body...
"This, this is the power that a song can achieve. It's truly amazing, a novel experience I've never had before!"
"It felt like someone was tickling my whole body with feathers, finally releasing all the itch in my body. It was so comfortable..."
"Wow, singing at a certain level is even more captivating than dancing. Is this the magic of the voice? It's truly incredible..."
Inside and outside the fortune-telling shop, all the onlookers stared wide-eyed, marveling at the boundless magic of music…
After feeling comfortable, Xiong Ba's lips twitched violently several times.
Did you make a mistake!
This song, "Itch," is not only sung by a woman, but also so languidly and gently, it's incredibly captivating, making you feel itchy yet also providing a cathartic release.
He was a dignified nine-foot-tall tough man, and also a local overlord!
Singing this kind of song in front of so many people would be incredibly shameful...
The scene was so beautiful that even just thinking about it made Xiong Ba tremble and feel like he was going to collapse, earning him a thousand collapse points...
Chapter 182 Xiong Ba's Pain, My Tragic Life
"If I had known this song 'Itch' would be so effeminate, I would have preferred to just pick a dance to perform..."
Xiong Ba was filled with complex emotions. Thinking about how he would sing the song "Itch," he felt completely overwhelmed, filled with panic and unease.
It feels even harder to accept than having him fight a grandmaster to the death.
"That scoundrel Xiong Ba has committed too many evil deeds and deserves this retribution. Today, he will definitely be humiliated!"
Bu Jingyun was overjoyed, and looked at Xiong Ba with undisguised hatred in his eyes.
Although Yaoyue appeared calm on the surface, she was secretly overjoyed.
If Xiong Ba were to sing this song, "Itch," the level of embarrassment would be no less than when she danced to "New Treasure Island."
Lianxing didn't pay much attention to Xiong Ba's behavior and spent most of her time looking at Chen Yan with bright, sparkling eyes.
Chen Yan has been giving her acupuncture for several days.
She also danced home dances for Chen Yan for a few days.
As their interactions deepened, their relationship became increasingly harmonious.
Now, Lianxing's heart is filled with thoughts of Chen Yan. Her heart, which has been dormant for twenty years, can hardly hold anything else.
"So, Chief Xiong Ba, how about singing this song, 'Itch'?"
At this moment, Chen Yan glanced at the teacup, and Wanwan, almost as if she understood him perfectly, picked up the teapot and refilled Chen Yan's cup with tea.
After Chen Yan smiled and nodded, he looked at Xiong Ba with a questioning gaze and issued his final ultimatum.
Xiong Ba remained silent, frowning in deep thought.
A final decision has not yet been made.
Chen Yan used the teacup lid to stir up the tea leaves on the surface, gently blew on them, and looked at Xiong Ba with a smile: "Chief Xiong Ba, I can almost guess what question you want to ask."
I can give you a sneak peek.
Your future is actually much more pitiful than you imagine.
You think you're a powerful overlord with the world in your grasp, but you're nothing more than a puppet on someone else's strings.
After hearing what Chen Yan said...
Xiong Ba's heart jolted!
They were shocked that Chen Yan could guess the question they wanted to ask.
And then, she was shocked to discover that her future could be so tragic.
"Is this gang leader just a puppet in the hands of certain people?"
"This! How is this possible?!"
Xiong Ba was utterly shocked.
The people around looked at each other in surprise and disbelief.
Xiong Ba is already a dominant force in the martial arts world, so who can secretly control him?
Nie Feng, Bu Jingyun, Qin Shuang, and Kong Ci were also filled with doubts.
They had always lived in the shadow of Xiong Ba, never imagining that Xiong Ba, who seemed like a dark cloud hanging over them, was actually just a puppet in the hands of someone else.
You Ruo was also completely stunned, her face filled with shock and disbelief...
"Alright! This song, 'Itchy,' is the one our lead singer is singing!"
Xiong Ba, who was originally hesitant, immediately gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement to sing after Chen Yan revealed his intentions.
Chen Yan smiled approvingly: "The leader of the Xiong Ba gang is capable of taking things on and letting them go, and he's willing to swallow his pride and go all out. He truly deserves to be called a hero of his generation."
Xiong Ba smiled bitterly.
For a moment, he couldn't tell whether Chen Yan was praising him or mocking his thick skin.
Chen Yan lightly tapped the Yin-Yang Mirror.
As the soothing melody begins, Linglingzi's languid and alluring figure appears on screen. Xiongba clenches his fists and, following Linglingzi's voice, begins to sing along.
but.
Compared to Li Xunhuan who sang before, Xiong Ba's voice was much worse. This was another song that sounded like a female voice, but it immediately sounded different in Xiong Ba's mouth, which was a man in his fifties. It sounded like a hoarse, harsh, and tone-deaf voice, and he even tried to imitate a woman's tone.
Not only did he sing it extremely awkwardly.
Those around frowned slightly upon hearing this, then burst into genuine laughter...
"Damn it! Those who dare to mock me, the gang leader, all deserve to die!"
Xiong Ba was filled with rage and collapsed, providing 1,000 collapse points.
The climax has arrived.
Xiong Ba then tried to imitate Ling Lingzi's voice in a high-pitched, manly tone, which drew another round of laughter.
Especially when singing the climax line, "Ah, itchy..."
The songs sung by Linglingzi can make people feel relaxed and comfortable, and can release all the tingling sensations that have accumulated in their bodies.
But when it came out of Xiong Ba's mouth, it sounded like a rooster crowing—hoarse, high-pitched, and cracking—strangely unpleasant to hear…
Instantly.
Loud laughter filled the air.
Even You Ruo couldn't help but laugh until her stomach hurt.
Bu Jingyun also laughed heartily.
Yaoyue also wore a gentle smile, like a snow lotus blooming amidst the frost and snow of the Tianshan Mountains, noble, pure, elegant, and beautiful enough to dazzle the eye.
He muttered to himself, "Sure enough, it's really painful to be embarrassed yourself, but watching others make a fool of themselves is a great pleasure..."
Xie Yanke laughed and teased without any mercy: "Master Xiong Ba, I didn't expect you to sing so badly. Others sing for money, but you sing for your life."
"Someone like you can't even make a living by singing on the streets. You might end up killing a few people and getting yourself into a murder case before you even get your money... Hahaha..."
As soon as he finished speaking...
Laughter erupted again from the surrounding area.
Upon hearing these jeers, Xiong Ba broke down again, contributing two thousand collapse points.
He was filled with rage and grief, but knowing that Qixia Town was a place teeming with powerful figures and that it was Chen Yan's territory, he was ultimately powerless to do anything about it, despite his intense anger...
He could only suppress his anger and finish singing the song...
The song ends.
Xiong Ba's face was already turning purplish-blue, all due to anger and frustration.
He had never experienced such humiliation in his entire life.
If Chen Yan hadn't told him that his future was bleak and that he would remain someone else's puppet, he would never have agreed to sing this song, "Itch".
"That's decided then. From now on, I, the gang leader, will no longer listen to music!"
Anyone who dares to sing in front of me, I'll kill them all!
With no outlet for his inner rage, Xiong Ba could only curse inwardly, writhing in impotent fury...
Chen Yan was in a good mood as he looked at Xiong Ba, whose face was covered in bruises.
Xiong Ba earned 3,000 "collapse points" from one song, which, while not as high as Yao Yue's, is still a considerable income.
Xiong Ba took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger and his shattered mentality.
He took out a silver ingot and placed it on Chen Yan's desk, then cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Master Chen, I have fulfilled your two requests. May I ask my questions now?"
