A moment later, the shadow puppet show began.
Xu Xinrou's eyes were fixed on the stage, her face full of anticipation and joy.
She hadn't seen a shadow puppet show in a long time, and today she finally had the chance to see one again.
Su Nian rested her chin on her hand, not watching the shadow puppet show, but instead looking at her senior sister's profile.
It must be said that Xu Xinrou is extremely beautiful. Even if she just sits there quietly, she can still attract everyone's attention.
Su Nian couldn't help but recall how she had been captivated by Xu Xinrou when she wore a light blue dress, and she couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Xu Xinrou noticed Su Nian's gaze and asked疑惑地问道, "Why are you staring at me?"
Su Nian snapped out of her daze and quickly covered it up, saying, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I just suddenly realized that Senior Sister's profile is really beautiful."
Xu Xinrou smiled upon hearing this, then turned to look at the shadow puppet show.
Since the revelation of Su Nian's memories of a hundred lifetimes, many traditional opera performances have centered around Su Nian, creating numerous stories.
Take this shadow puppet show for example; it tells the story of the protagonist Su Nian and the Human Emperor.
However, unlike the real-life Emperor who escaped from his grasp, the Emperor in the shadow puppet show truly died at Su Nian's hands.
The story begins with the lonely and adrift Su Nian winning the championship as a dark horse in a martial arts competition organized by the Human Emperor's Palace.
He was appreciated by the Emperor and granted special permission to enter the Emperor's Palace. However, he was deceived by the Emperor into believing that the Emperor would exonerate him and clear up his grievances.
Xu Xinrou rested her chin on her hand, glancing sideways at the scene quietly, slightly lost in thought.
Even though she had seen this memory twice, she was still deeply moved each time.
"I have been wronged and humiliated, and have spent my life wandering and suffering. I have long since lost hope in the past, but... Your Majesty, are you really willing to clear my name?"
"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. Rest assured, as long as you perform sufficient merits, I will surely exonerate you from your grievances!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Behind the scenes of a shadow puppet show, the down-and-out Su Nian unexpectedly encounters her mentor.
He thought he had encountered a wise ruler, but unexpectedly he was betrayed and almost died on the battlefield between the two worlds.
The audience members in the audience seats were whispering and pointing at the puppets on the screen, as if they were Su Nian in the story and felt indignant for him.
Unlike the viewers who were highly engaged with the scene, Su Nian had long since lost interest in it.
Looking back on this experience, he doesn't even feel a pang of emotion now.
This is just a memory.
That's all.
It couldn't stir any emotion in his heart.
He preferred to look at Xu Xinrou's profile more than the shadow puppet show.
He was willing to etch this scene into his memory forever, never to be forgotten.
On stage, as the plot unfolds, the story gradually reaches its climax.
The storyline of Su Nian being imprisoned and fighting a desperate battle was enhanced by background music added by the creators, making it extremely tragic.
When Su Nian, critically injured and on the verge of death, discovered that she had been deceived, her thunderous roar resonated with countless people.
Outside the stage, Su Nian looked at her senior's profile and saw the ripples in her amber eyes, her heart filled with complex emotions.
Seeing that Xu Xinrou was engrossed in watching, Su Nian did not make a sound to disturb her, but simply watched her quietly from the side.
Then, the shadow puppet show reached its climax.
Su Nian, who had fought his way back from the enemy camp, was like a blood-soaked demon. He returned to Kyushu with endless rage, killing one person every ten steps and leaving no trace for a thousand miles, fighting his way from outside the Human Emperor City to the Human Emperor Palace.
Finally, he arrived at the Emperor's Palace and engaged in an earth-shattering battle with the Emperor, ultimately slaying him with his sword.
The audience was thrilled.
The story ends here.
Just as Su Nian thought the shadow puppet show was over, the backstage staff came onto the stage and bowed slightly to the audience.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" The leading old scholar bowed to the audience and said, "I believe that all of you here understand that this story, 'The Bloodstained Slaying of the Old Emperor,' is adapted from our new emperor, Lord Su Nian. He has been reincarnated in solitude for hundreds of lifetimes, all alone, suffering countless injustices, yet he has gone through countless reincarnations, all for the sake of seeking justice for this world! We, the people of Xincha Film Studio, are just actors, but we also have a heart that cares for the common people!"
Although our realm is vastly different from the past, the approaching Demonic Immortal is a formidable enemy that even the true Immortal Realm cannot overcome! With such a powerful foe before us, if we cannot unite as one, we fear we will find it difficult to survive this crisis!
The old master's words resonated with countless people in the audience, who nodded in agreement and showed their approval.
"Indeed! The Demon Immortal is imminent. If we cannot break through the shackles and instead immerse ourselves in the joy of ascension, we will certainly not be able to achieve anything in the battle against the Demon Immortal!"
"I've heard that all the top experts from the Nine Provinces and the Demon Realm have gathered in our Human Emperor City to cultivate! Every day from now on will be a race against time! If we want to protect our homeland, we must unite! Even if we are weak, we must still help His Majesty the New Emperor!"
"Yes! This is our own world. If we ourselves are indifferent and rely solely on His Majesty the new emperor, wouldn't we be worse than animals?"
As soon as the old master finished speaking, he was met with approval and cheers from all directions.
In an instant, the entire restaurant became lively.
Su Nian blinked as she looked at the excited crowd.
Clearly, he hadn't anticipated that the situation would gradually spiral out of control.
