Otherworldly Singer: Pure-hearted Wolves and Fiery Love

Chapter 9 uses "Walk Straight Through the Rain"

Zhou Qiqi sneered: "You're very well prepared? Then you go first."

Ning Xueting's eyes were sharp, and she sensed that Zhou Qiqi's momentum had already waned.

Ning Xueting's eyes lit up with joy, and she confidently said, "Okay! I'll go first! The song I'll sing is 'Dreams Will Pamper You'!"

She was prepared this time.

The song was not her work, but rather a modified version of an older song by an established singer.

Ning Xueting took out two low-level beast beads from her handbag. With these two low-level beast beads, the singer, whose energy had already been activated, could once again summon the Meditation Platform.

Ning Xueting activated the battle core energy within her body, and a glowing platform instantly appeared beneath her feet.

The meditation platform reappeared.

Zhou Qiqi was amazed.

"Performing music anytime, anywhere—if this were in my world, it would feel like a physical version of 'Dancing Magical Girls' or 'Balala the Fairies.' This would make magic-themed fans go wild and thank the heavens for ten thousand years!"

The rant is over.

Zhou Qiqi almost choked on her drink when she heard Ning Xueting sing.

Anyone who has studied children's songs knows this. Songs like "Counting Ducks," full of childlike fun, are relatively rare; most are adult-oriented children's songs. Ning Xueting's songs are a combination of adult children's songs and a kind of eccentric Yunnan folk song.

Have you heard of "Old Driver, Take Me With You"? Ning Xueting's music style is of this type, but the lyrics have an adult-style, uplifting feel, like a children's song.

It's a hurried, folk-style old children's song.

If she slowed down the tempo, she might have been able to sing a beautiful folk song with a unique vocal style. After all, Ning Xueting's voice is quite good. But Ning Xueting sang a fast-paced version of the melody with lyrics that didn't fit the style at all, giving the impression that she was trying to reform the musical style but failed completely.

Zhou Qiqi took out a tissue to wipe the sweat from her forehead: "It's awful. If she sang slower, she could at least show off her singing skills."

Is this the result?

I thought they were going to use some really awesome song to blow her away.

Ha ha.

Seeing Zhou Qiqi wiping away sweat, Jiang Man'er reacted in a similar way to the others.

I thought she was feeling guilty and scared.

Jiang Man'er was surprised and secretly pleased: Was Zhou Qiqi just bluffing all along? It seems she really is a paper tiger! Serves you right for being so cocky, Zhou Qiqi, now you're helpless!

Jiang Man'er couldn't wait to see Zhou Qiqi cry her heart out and apologize to Ning Xueting.

Ning Xueting felt good.

Ning Xueting felt extremely proud as she watched the silver-level sheet music gradually appear.

"It's a silver rank!"

"Oh my god, they've released the silver-tier sheet music!"

"Wow! That's awesome!"

"She's only just enrolled, but she seems very talented!"

"With the potential to reach the Silver rank, Ning Xueting's future looks very promising."

"I think Zhou Qiqi is already panicking! Ning Xueting is definitely safe now!"

"Qiqi is definitely going to lose this week, right? This time it's the Silver Rank, she can only win if she brings out the Gold Rank sheet music."

"I don't think Zhou Qiqi has any chance of winning. Didn't she only succeed last time because of the Zhou family...?"

Everyone praised Ning Xueting highly, and their words revealed an increasingly negative view of Zhou Qiqi.

Zhi Xiuwen looked at Zhou Qiqi with a teasing gaze: "I wonder how Zhou Qiqi will deal with this later?"

The henchman behind her said, "Young Master Zhi, this kind of pretty face who succeeds by relying on others is probably just a pawn that the Zhou family deliberately used for a marriage alliance. The Zhou family is planning something big."

Zhi Xiuwen raised an eyebrow and thought for a moment, but did not respond to his little follower.

Qin Ye, who overheard their conversation, looked worried: "My uncle and the others don't think highly of Zhou Qiqi..."

Qin Ye shook his head, finding his uncle and the others' ideas incomprehensible. He couldn't understand why they had to suppress and bully Zhou Qiqi, a girl. Even if it was a conflict between families, it shouldn't be handled this way.

Zhou Qiqi pouted: "The style of this song is so different from the previous ones, it's obvious they hired a ghostwriter."

She didn't say this in front of everyone.

The songs she brought weren't her own compositions either; the eldest brother doesn't laugh at the second brother.

Ning Xueting's previous songs were so amateurish that anyone with a brain could come up with a melody; they didn't deserve any praise. Even the tunes hummed by the four-year-old girl next door before Zhou Qiqi transmigrated were better than Ning Xueting's songs.

It's fair to say that music in this world is severely restricted. The music in people's minds today has been led astray by overly radical and innovative musicians who have gone astray in their styles.

Ning Xueting proudly and happily raised her fair chin.

"I've finished singing!"

"Zhou Qiqi, it's your turn to come up on stage and perform for me!"

Ning Xueting was extremely pleased with herself for completing the Silver Steps score.

She admired the high level of skill in that music master's casual composition, and was thrilled that he had chosen her as his apprentice.

"Zhou Qiqi was just a little lucky; that expert from the Zhou family..."

Ning Xueting thought with some resentment that if she could receive guidance from such an expert, she would definitely perform better than Zhou Qiqi!

Zhou Qiqi clicked her tongue twice.

She looked at Zhou Qiyuan: "What are you standing there for? Give me the beast pearl."

Zhou Qiyuan then realized that he had been so busy improving his strength for the past two days that he had forgotten to equip Zhou Qiqi with a beast bead.

He quickly rummaged through his clothes and pulled out the beast bead.

Hesitated for a moment.

Zhou Qiyuan took out two mid-level beast beads.

"Little sister, is this okay?" he asked Zhou Qiqi.

For songs of rank below gold, mid-tier beast beads would be wasted because they contain more energy.

Conversely, if the song is good enough, you need to use beast beads of intermediate or higher rank. Low-rank beast beads will shatter directly because they lack energy and cannot condense the song sheet.

Therefore, when producing a song, you need to use beast beads of the appropriate grade.

Zhou Qiyuan was worried that Zhou Qiqi would use the same red-level song as last time, so he decided to give her a mid-level beast bead.

"give it to me."

Zhou Qiqi grabbed it.

She held the beast bead and said to Ning Xueting, "Ning Xueting, listen carefully, I'm going to use my song to bless your ears."

Ning Xueting flew into a rage: "I'll definitely listen carefully to see what level of song you can sing!"

Ning Xueting's opinion of Zhou Qiqi plummeted as she was humiliated by her behavior.

General Qin Xuan asked Qin Ye, "Do you think she will succeed?"

When asked by his uncle, Qin Ye simply replied, "Let's see."

Jiang Man'er cursed inwardly, "Don't let Zhou Qiqi succeed! Don't let Zhou Qiqi succeed!"

She was more afraid of Zhou Qiqi succeeding than Ning Xueting was.

To defeat Ning Xueting, Zhou Qiqi's songs need to reach at least the Gold rank. Each additional sheet music given by that mysterious master consumed represents a reduction in the amount allocated to the outside world.

Jiang Man'er really didn't want Zhou Qiqi to succeed and show off.

Zhou Qiqi cleared her throat: "Ahem, let me begin! My song is: 'Keep Walking in the Rain'."

Ning Xueting sang an inspirational song, and she responded with an inspirational song of her own to challenge her.

"Keep Walking in the Rain" by Angela Chang.

Zhou Qiqi stood on the high platform that inspired her meditation.

The moment she opened her mouth, the platform changed from a jumble of colors to red.

The song's intro immediately captivated everyone's ears.

"Keep walking in the rain!"

"A gem should sparkle!"

Everyone should have dreams.

"Oh~"

"If you have a dream, don't be afraid of pain."
