...Monsters wreak havoc at the concert
Since the day he chose his dress, Shen Zhizhou has reduced the frequency of his appearances in front of Shuyi. Even Ji Yao has been asking if the two of them have had another falling out.
Shu Yi guessed that she didn't admit her relationship with Shen Zhizhou because she was shy at the time, but Lily asked if they were boyfriend and girlfriend. Could it be that Shen Zhizhou liked her?
Thinking of this, Shu Yi deliberately wore that blue fishtail dress and squatted at the door of Shen Zhizhou's room. As soon as Shen Zhizhou opened the door, he saw Shu Yi standing at the door, straight as if she were standing at attention.
What are you doing at my door?
"I'm waiting for you to go to Zhizhi's concert together, let's go together!" Shuyi deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the words "together".
Shen Zhizhou looked at Su Yi, whose face was blank but whose eyes were bright as she looked at him, and his anger vanished instantly.
.
This mouse always does this, tempting him with its innocent and naive eyes. Shen Zhizhou sighed and resignedly took Shuyi to get ready.
After his makeup and styling were meticulously completed, Shen Zhizhou, with his right arm slightly bent, looked at Shu Yi with a bewildered expression and reminded her, "Hold on."
The human and the demon thus lured each other into the concert.
Zhizhi had specially reserved VIP seats for the monster friends, so when Shuyi came in and heard the monsters' amazed and teasing laughter, she hid behind Shen Zhizhou a little embarrassed. Shen Zhizhou patted Shuyi's hand that was wrapped around his waist to comfort her.
"Excuse me, she's a little shy. Could everyone please turn your attention to our star of the day, Miss Zhizhi...?"
The monsters chuckled and took their seats one after another, but their eyes still occasionally darted towards Shuyi and Shen Zhizhou.
Huang Daxian patted Shuyi's shoulder furtively. Shuyi leaned back and listened to Huang Daxian's gossip: "Are you two getting married soon... I'll give you two big packs when the time comes!"
"How big is it?" Shu Yi asked curiously.
Meanwhile, Shen Zhizhou had been listening intently to the conversation, keeping a close eye on Shu Yi's thoughts. Upon hearing Shu Yi's slightly pleased expression, Shen Zhizhou's lips unconsciously curved into a smile, and he was in a very good mood.
The concert lights suddenly went out, leaving only a spotlight on the stage. The rising platform slowly ascended, projecting Zhizhi's image onto the screen. The moment she appeared, the surrounding area erupted in enthusiastic cheers and shouts. Shuyi felt happy for Zhizhi in her heart.
That little sparrow that trekked through mountains and rivers to emerge from the deep forest, now has an entire stadium full of people coming just to hear her sing.
When she stood on the stage, she suddenly felt like crying. She used to say that she wanted to sing, and that she would sing even if there was only one listener. Her friend, who was as ordinary as a sparrow, advised her not to daydream. Singing was a luxury that only creatures like larks and peacocks, with their melodious voices or beautiful appearances, could possess. As for ordinary little monsters like them, who wouldn't even rank among monsters, they shouldn't even dream about it.
But Zhizhi didn't listen. She thought that even sparrows have lofty ambitions. She just wanted the world to hear her voice, even if only for a moment, she would be satisfied.
Now, in this venue, there are tens of thousands of listeners who love her singing and came just for her. They are all moved to tears and feel so happy that they almost faint on the stage.
She glanced at her monster friends below, watching them either clench their fists in cheers or cover their mouths and shed tears, and then she opened her mouth and sang.
Shuyi cheered along with the fans, shouting "I love you, Zhizhi!" from below the stage. Shen Zhizhou watched with a smile as Shuyi held up her light stick and shouted, occasionally taking photos with his phone.
Shuyi saw Shen Zhizhou taking pictures of her and even posed for him. After taking several shots from different angles, Shen Zhizhou put down his phone, picked up a bottle of water, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to her: "You must be tired after shouting for so long, have some water..."
Upon seeing Shuyi's result, she winked playfully, seeking praise: "I secretly brought it in; wasn't I very prescient?"
Shuyi gave Shen Zhizhou a thumbs-up and said sweetly, "Shen Zhizhou, how can you be so good to me~"
Shen Zhizhou couldn't help but smile as he listened to Shuyi's coquettishness, but fearing it would be too obvious, he clenched his fist to cover his smile and pretended to cough.
After finishing her song on stage, Zhizhi saw a heartwarming scene between Shuyi and Shen Zhizhou in the audience. She sincerely wished them well, said a few words into her earpiece, and the rousing background music suddenly changed to a lyrical song.
Holding the microphone, she bowed deeply to the endless sea of lights and the throngs of people who had come just for her, and then expressed her gratitude.
"At first, I just thought how wonderful it would be if even one listener could hear my singing and praise me... Now, I really have so many listeners. People travel from afar just because they like me and love to hear my singing. I am truly grateful to you all! But before that, I still want to thank my friends, the manager and company that discovered me. If it weren't for my friends' continued support and help, I might not have gotten to where I am today..."
She took deep breaths, trying to keep herself from crying and appearing weak in this happy moment, but the harder she tried, the more tears gushed out like a broken water pipe.
"I hope that the people I love and the people who love me can spend every day happily. I don't know how to express my feelings, so I wrote a song, putting all my emotions into it, and expressing them to everyone in the way I'm good at..."
The music intro began slowly, and Zhizhi wiped away her tears, picked up the microphone, and continued singing.
"The wind awakens in the forest, and a sound surges in my heart."
I heard shouts, so I started running.
I see love spreading in all directions, I hear love calling out beside me.
..."
The audience was captivated by Zhizhi's singing. Shuyi followed the crowd, waving her glow stick from side to side. But the next second, the stage speakers emitted a piercing sound. Everyone covered their ears, and when they looked up again, Zhizhi had turned back into her original form as a little sparrow, fluttering her wings and looking helpless.
Shuyi watched as the monsters around her suddenly staggered and turned back into their original forms, their clothes scattered all over the ground. Someone in the crowd shouted, "There's a ghost! Run!"
"It's not a ghost, just a monster," Wong Tai Sin explained, tugging at the trouser leg of someone next to him.
The man looked down at the shaman Huang Daxian tugging at his trouser leg, closed his eyes, slumped over, and fainted.
Seeing the commotion, Shen Zhizhou instructed Shu Yi to protect the monsters that had turned into their original forms and hide them while he evacuated the crowd to avoid a stampede.
Zhizhi's manager rushed onto the stage, searching for Zhizhi. He couldn't understand how a living person could suddenly disappear from the stage. Zhizhi, in her sparrow form, flapped her wings and chirped incessantly beside him.
Frustrated, the manager brushed aside the chirping Zhizhi, rushed off the stage, grabbed Shuyi, and shouted, "Ms. Shu, where did Zhizhi go? Did you see her?!"
Shuyi looked at the little sparrow flapping its wings impatiently beside her, and then glanced at her anxious and impatient manager. She really didn't know how to tell him that Zhizhi was just the little sparrow chirping next to him.
Seeing that Shuyi didn't respond for a long time, the agent could only slap his thigh in frustration and call the police.
Shen Zhizhou dispersed the crowd, but his strength alone was too insignificant. At this moment, the monsters that had transformed into their original forms and were hiding in the shadows seemed to be possessed, and began to gradually emerge from the darkness, revealing their demonic nature.
The crowded people inside the venue watched as Wong Tai Sin grew larger with each step, drool dripping from his sharp teeth, his eyes like copper bells fixed on the crowd. The crowd held their breath as if they were stunned, afraid of becoming the target.
Shen Zhizhou was caught in a dilemma, unsure why Huang Daxian had suddenly transformed and revealed his demonic form, and fearing that Huang Daxian might actually lose control and harm humans.
Shuyi rushed to Huang Daxian to calm him down. Huang Daxian covered his head in pain. He didn't want to hurt any person or demon, but the voice in his mind made him kill.
While he was still lucid, Huang Daxian stammered, "Quick...run!"
After saying that, Wong Tai Sin's eyes turned blood red, and he began to destroy the venue without any reason. With a wave of his hand, he left a mess on the ground. The running crowd began to push and shove, and everyone was trying to escape from there.
Seeing this, Shen Zhizhou had no choice but to subdue Huang Daxian first. However, to his surprise, the monsters present began to show their demonic nature and harm people. Shu Yi and Shen Zhizhou exchanged a glance and began to work together to subdue the monsters.
Just as a monster was about to harm people, Zhizhi, who had transformed into its demon form, blocked the attack. Despite seeing half of Zhizhi's wing torn off and its mind not being clear, it still stood in front of the humans.
"You are not allowed to... hurt my... fans."
Zhizhi, who was implanted with the command to harm people, still shielded humans from attacks by her own kind when she was about to actually hurt them. She couldn't remember why she was here, but these people seemed to be... very important to her.
She would do everything in her power to protect their safety.
Seeing that even in her demon form, Zhizhi still protected humans, Shen Zhizhou guessed that they must be being controlled by someone.
“They seem to be being manipulated. Let’s get them under control as soon as possible, otherwise it will be even harder to control them when the police arrive.”
Shen Zhizhou shouted to Shuyi across the crowd. Shuyi nodded and used the jade ring to lock the monsters so that Shen Zhizhou could subdue them.
Shen Zhizhou did a few somersaults, took out his gourd, and began chanting incantations at the monsters. Perhaps the monsters still retained some memories, because they didn't struggle much when Shu Yi locked them up. After the monsters were all put into the gourd and he breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly remembered the crowd that hadn't all escaped yet.
Countless eyes were fixed on them, and someone in the crowd shouted, "They're the ones causing all this trouble! Kill them!"
Once a glow stick is thrown out, countless others follow. Shen Zhizhou held Shuyi in his arms, and Shuyi looked at the blood dripping from Shen Zhizhou onto her eyelids, then touched Shen Zhizhou's broken forehead with her tentacles.
Shen Zhizhou tried to comfort Shu Yi by raising the corners of his mouth, but the movement pulled at the wound on his forehead, causing him to wince in pain and force an ugly smile.
Tears dripped onto the back of Shen Zhizhou's hand, burning in the hearts of both Shen Zhizhou and Shu Yi. Shu Yi looked at the people that Shen Zhizhou had protected, who were now repaying their kindness with enmity.
Shu Yi pushed Shen Zhizhou aside and transformed into her original form, occupying half of the venue and roaring at the crowd like a giant.
This was the first time she had shown her fangs and claws to humans since she came to the human world; she would not allow anyone to bully Shen Zhizhou in front of her.
Even the humans he wants to protect cannot be protected!
