Chapter 122 Part 1: Distortion, Regret for Life (1)

In the live camera,

Chu Yuanqing’s divine beauty was the first thing that caught the eye.

The girl walked gracefully down the brightly lit corridor, her slender figure enveloped in a pure white ballet dress. The delicate layers of tulle fluttered with each step, creating a dreamy and ethereal aura that captured the very essence of ballet’s romanticism.

Xie Qingxuan and Ji Shuzhu were dressed in different colored dresses, each reflecting their unique personal style. Xie Qingxuan’s dress was grand, like a powerful emperor ascending the throne, while Ji Shuzhu’s dress was understated and serene, like a graceful and solitary dancer.

These three different-styled idol girls stepped onto the stage, bathed in the light, shining like twinkling stars reflecting each other, standing in the center of the stage.

In the next moment, the virtual reality system constructed a triangular stage layout with a church interior, perfectly complementing the dance background, the girls’ positions, and the song’s atmosphere. The domed ceiling transformed into vibrant stained glass, with golden sunlight filtering through.

Chu Yuanqing stood at the top of the triangular stage, with a pure white statue behind her made of marble, and a solemn and elegant, giant organ from the 18th century. Pink roses clustered around the church, occasionally falling from the dome.

This scene, when combined, felt sacred and solemn, as if symbolizing wedding vows.

The girl glanced at the almost lifelike illusion, her profile bathed in sunlight, her clear eyes reflecting a golden hue. Her flowing, pristine dress revealed delicate ankles, resembling an apostle sent by God from the Middle Ages, untouched by the impurities of the world.

The Lantern Festival broadcast arrived at the battlefield in no time:

“Bliss ❤️❤️❤️.”

On the other side, Xie Qingxuan and Ji Shuzhu’s fans were going crazy.

Obviously, because the combined number of Grade A fans exceeded twenty million, many viewers in the live-stream room were cheering for the three of them, causing the bullet comments to overflow with praise.

There were also various topics stirring up public opinion.

For example, why did Ji Shuzhu betray Chen Yining?

For example, the thoughts of Chu Yuanqing and Little Sakura after filming a lesbian wedding dress advertisement.

For example, when Xie Qingxuan realized “Heart Flow”, and what she thought of Chu Yuanqing’s wedding dress endorsement.

In the end, all these topics were resolved in the information shared by the two teams projected by Dream Weaver Rabbit, successfully directing the viewers’ attention in one direction:

“Without poor Ning Bao, the only five Grade A contestants in this competition are all here, no wonder Dream Weaver Rabbit is live-streaming it. Not witnessing the result of this PK in real time would be regrettable no matter how you think about it.”

“The winning team of this PK will have the most Grade A teammates, with the most powerful and luxurious lineup, advancing to the A1 area, most likely becoming the front-runner for the second performance.”

“Although the exact rules of this competition are not clear yet, the winner of this PK round undoubtedly has no possibility of being eliminated.”

Suddenly, all the fans became nervous.

The most unique thing about “Dazzling Stage” compared to regular talent shows is its huge scale.

Normally, popular contestants ranking high in popularity would still be supported by the program group even if they face difficulties midway through.

Despite there being hundreds of venues worldwide for “Dazzling Stage,” there is still a chance of elimination if an unfortunate Grade A contestant fails in the team battles due to a late selection of teammates.

It’s a very simple idea.

Grade A contestants are strong, but to ensure victory, they rarely choose weaker teammates. However, when carefully selecting teammates, they are inevitably forced to compete against other Grade A contestants.

When Grade A faces Grade A, naturally, one side will lose.

The loser, in order to make a comeback, has to challenge other strong teams.

If you prepare well, that’s good, but there are endless challenges in a month, and there is limited time to learn dance routines for performances.

Imagine Grade A, having only practiced dance for three days, is running out of time and has to challenge a well-prepared Team B that has perfected a dance for a week. The chances of failing are very high.

This is the promotion map determined by macro-level strategies.

Strong players only challenge other strong players.

Weak players can act without worries.

Therefore, for players at the very top of the pyramid in terms of overall strength, the cost of a single defeat can sometimes be much higher than for lower-rated players.

Now, the outcome of this live dance competition will decide the future destiny of all 5 Grade A players!

“To be honest, I feel Little Liuli is the most stable. Even if her team loses, given the strong lineup of Great Devil’s team, they will most likely choose her as the lead singer.”

“I am starting to worry about Honey Qing. She is an unpredictable explosive player with weak dance basics. If her team loses, it will be very disadvantageous for her to choose a new dance routine and challenge again.”

Unfortunately, the serious discussion was soon disrupted by the overwhelming comments of fans of the “Meet You in the Mist” or the “笙磬同音” CP.

Setting aside Ji Shuzhu, characters like the Great Devil, Little Sakura, and the green-eyed cat, along with fans from various CP factions online, only contributed to the chaos. The usual concerns for the players’ future were drowned out by the fierce battle for dominance among the different CP factions, creating a somewhat abstract atmosphere.

On the stage, as the background music perfected the virtual scene, a gentle ambiance descended.

Xie Qingxuan and Ji Shuzhu stood at the two corners of the triangular stage, blending into the dark shadows. They interlocked their fingers over their chests as if silently worshipping a deity, eyes closed in prayer.

In the next moment, a faint light shone on them, and the music started playing. They both opened their eyes and turned to look at Chu Yuanqing, who was bathed in heavenly light in front of the idol. Their interlocked fingers parted, as if desire had overcome faith, and they both reached out their palms towards her.

Chu Yuanqing met their gaze with a calm expression on her delicate face, exuding a compassionate and tender look. She was like pure, untouched snow, her white skirt swaying as she turned as if atoning for someone’s sins, devoutly praying to the idol.

Ji Shuzhu retracted her hand first, showing a gesture of avoidance as if repenting for her attempt to taint the purity of the sacred one.

Xie Qingxuan’s expression was mysterious, with darkness lingering in her eyes. She smiled, holding a blade aimed at Ji Shuzhu, driven by jealousy, about to commit a murderous act.

Chu Yuanqing’s prayerful posture was interrupted. Unable to seek help from the ethereal divine, she turned to face Xie Qingxuan and extended her palm, as if trying to stop the imminent tragedy.

Xie Qingxuan was dominated by love, sinking into bliss, gently putting down the weapon.

Ji Shuzhu knew nothing as if continuing to indulge in a fleeting sense of guilt, unable to break free.

Chu Yuanqing started singing, her clear and gentle voice, with a unique softness in Japanese, like sunlight falling on flower petals, slowly descending along with the melodious music:
