Chapter 160: Daughter’s Heart Flow, a Series of Explosive Performances
On the stage.
Chu Yuanqing wore a pure white camisole top that generously highlighted her beautiful curves. Her slender waist was clearly visible. She added a cozy, fluffy matching jacket on top and wore stylish, loose-fitting pants below. On her feet, she had on sneakers, creating a cool street dance look.
The girl’s eyes were clear and bright, and her careful makeup made her skin and features even more attractive. She usually tied her hair back during practice, but for the performance, she let it down. Her silky black hair flowed like a waterfall down to her mid-back.
Chu Yuanqing looked at the camera, her pink lips slightly curved into a polite smile, immediately sparking a flood of comments.
The viewers in the live stream couldn’t help but get excited:
"Wife, wife, wife, I love you, I love you, I love you!!! ❤️❤️❤️"
Of course, some sharp-eyed viewers didn’t get lost in her beauty but caught little details on stage, being as serious as exam prep, discussing eagerly:
"Hey everyone, did you notice? Tang Liuli and Kirimi Miyuki are looking at Honey Qing in a strange way! Something feels off!"
On stage, apart from Chu Yuanqing, the three others also wore relaxed street dance outfits, all in long pants that showed a hint of their alluring waistlines. They achieved their unique styles with slight differences in colors and accessories.
Tang Liuli took a deep breath. She had not practiced difficult street dance much. Compared to professionals like Xie Qingxuan and Ji Shuzhu, her skills were not good enough. Even the dance "Pandora" didn’t really need a singer.
Unlike "Encounter With the World," the visual effects of this dance song were much more important. The music only played a role in keeping the rhythm, lifting the melody, and creating excitement; it was just an extra touch, not the main part of the performance.
Moreover, such a difficult dance would be tough for even a talented idol to perform fully live.
So, according to the rules, their team’s stage could be partially live, allowing pre-recorded vocals to support the performance, which showed how weak the role of the singer was.
As for the big talk about making the audience cry, it could only be said that the music style of "Pandora" served the dance, with a lively and upbeat rhythm. Making people cry was just empty bragging.
Even if "Emotional Bond" was very impressive, singing an energetic song with deep sadness was quite an abstract and odd thing. And since she felt this way herself, it would be even harder to connect with the audience.
Tang Liuli did not plan to do any fancy tricks. She had her own ideas. As long as she did her part well and used connection to boost the audience’s emotions during the exciting part of the dance, it would match her teammates’ efforts and make the song feel great.
But the problem was…
"It’s just like this; we can’t win that stage."
Kirimi Miyuki whispered in her heart, time was tight, and they had no chance to come up with a new plan, nor was it possible to rearrange the training in just a few minutes, so their chances of winning depended only on how each of them performed on stage.
On a regular idol stage, what is called performing in the moment is really just about being in a good state and focusing well, and whether they can give their best, or even more than their best.
But here on the "Dazzling Stage," it’s not surprising what kind of miracles genius idols can create when they step into the "Heart Flow" realm.
Ten times better? Twelve times better?
Such little differences in data, even if multiplied by ten, cannot begin to describe the brilliance that Xie Qingxuan created.
Therefore, to win, they could only break through and evolve in the "Heart Flow" realm.
Whether for magical girls or idols of the ideal world, evolving and shining sometimes only depends on a moment’s inspiration on stage.
"This is… the unpredictable stage of destiny!"
Dream Weaver Rabbit looked down at the little idols, unable to resist spreading her arms wide as though embracing the stage shown on the live stream, her crimson eyes full of joy, and her mouth stretched into an excited grin.
At this moment, all the data of the idols in the room flowed in waves in the heart of this super AI. Even it could not predict the changes that would come, and it happily murmured:
"Come on, let me see if the hero can unleash greater potential when provoked by that Demon King. Can our lady savior recreate the miracle of the past?"
The others did not know.
Dream Weaver Rabbit understood, however, that while Xie Qingxuan had created a sparkle that seemed comparable to Chu Yuanqing’s, there was still a huge gap in their magic thresholds.
After all, Xie Qingxuan was a reserve witch; her life form was still a normal human and could hardly gather much magical tide. In general, she could barely accumulate a level of magic, and its nature was very ordinary, unable to interfere with the Calamity Seed in the underground base.
Chu Yuanqing was different.
This one, who didn’t receive the Artificial Lantern, managed to gather a sea-level magic tide through a stage performance, giving magic a wonderful nature and easily defeating many Calamity Seeds. She was truly a treasure of the Donghong Federation, and shortly after her secondary rating performance, she was immediately placed under the same protection level as the highest federal leaders.
From this perspective, the nickname Donghong Amaterasu is well-deserved, and perhaps even a little less than what Chu Yuanqing deserves.
Therefore, whether it was the AI or others, everyone looked forward to seeing Chu Yuanqing truly unleash her Heart Flow again.
And this stage, will it allow one of them to break free from her cocoon? Let us wait and see together with those behind her.
At this moment,
Chu Yuanqing’s heart is calm. She has already distanced herself from the complex emotions of reuniting with an old friend and is now focused, putting all her energy into the upcoming stage.
The girl’s eyes shimmer subtly with golden glints, and within her graceful and alluring body lay powerful magic circuits, lighting up like beacons under the control of the lantern bearer.
Even though a certain dog surprised her greatly, she is still not ready to hold back.
One reason is respect – respect for the stage, respect for the dream of being an idol, and respect for her teammates and opponents.
Another reason is her lovely daughter, who has not yet entered the realm of [Heart Flow]. If she loses this Stage Battle, her chances of returning for a second performance would be diminished, leading to disappointment.
The third reason is for magic restoration. She has been nurturing Miyuki’s [Cocoon of the Heart], and if all else fails, she can use rewards to encourage a certain cat to come and help her, as she has two candidates for magic restoration, which is a simple choice of two being greater than one.
Therefore, she must win this Stage Battle!
Chu Wang Shu felt the same way; she was the most nervous person in the whole place. With her skills, if she lost the Stage Battle, she would drop back to the B1 area and would not be able to win two matches in just two or three days to move up.
In other words, this battle would decide if she would be eliminated.
The lovely daughter even regretted making that promise with her dad so soon. What if something went wrong? Those words she said before were so embarrassing!
"Little Shu, stay calm and give it your all; we will not lose."
Chu Yuanqing turned off her earpiece. She counted the approaching beats, looked back at her lovely daughter, and gave her a comforting smile before fully immersing herself in the moment.
Ten seconds after her words ended, the stage lights began to move, and Tang Liuli’s recorded voice filled the whole area.
At this moment, the performance of "Pandora" officially began.
Chu Wang Shu cleared her mind. She was standing across from Tang Liuli. When the music started, they both reached out with one arm, their fingertips touching at each other’s elbows, forming a square.
Chu Yuanqing knelt in the center of the two girls. She raised her beautiful face and gazed beyond the square frame, as if catching a glimpse of the camera in the dome. Her lips curled into a smile as she slowly stood up with the rhythm, while the two building the square crouched down, allowing each other’s soft waists to pass through their arms.
Chu Yuanqing took a step forward, and Little Sakura, posing as if taking a photo, turned her head to the side. Even before their eyes met, their hands had already found each other, creating a square shape in the air.
In the next moment, Tang Liuli and Chu Wang Shu stepped forward as if to reach out at the same time, both resting their elbows lightly on the arms of the others. Four beautiful faces, each unique, glanced at the audience behind the camera, creating a striking visual impact.
Unfortunately, this pose was short-lived; within two seconds, the little idols returned to their positions, three in front and one behind, moving in unison and maintaining smooth curves.
After a few beats of movement,
Kirimi Miyuki and Tang Liuli turned around at the same time, presenting their slender, graceful backs to the camera. Their hands clasped in the same moment, with Chu Yuanqing leaning against them, creating a beautiful curve as they rose and continued to dance together, switching positions.
The little idols moved with great skill, following a fancy and beautiful choreography, going through round after round of tests to synchronize their movements. They maintained a very fast pace throughout, creating a dazzling and elegantly curved dance framework that offered a visually smooth experience.
This is the essence of "Pandora." Although they have done many movements, the stage had just begun for less than 17 seconds, with speed threaded through the entire song.
The need to keep up with speed, precision, and harmony also created an explosive stage effect.
To be honest, this dance should not be performed on stage by idols, as it requires a lot of energy and strength without simplification, with a high chance of mistakes.
If Ji Shuzhu were in this team, she would likely choose to simplify the choreography, but no one in Chu Yuanqing’s team understands how to create a dance, so they can only force it. Through hard training, they managed to embed the dance into their muscle memory, making it shine on the final stage.
Fortunately, from the results, they undoubtedly succeeded. The rhythm, strength, flashy yet harmonious movements, and details of the connecting actions all reached their peak under great pressure and with the help of [Heart Flow], surpassing any previous training harmony.
Even Chu Yuanqing, who had the weakest foundation, relied on magic to make up for her shortcomings, keeping pace with her teammates on stage without showing any flaws.
The comments in the live broadcast fell like snowflakes, with a level of enthusiasm and feedback that far exceeded Xie Qingxuan’s first minute of performing "Shut Down."
"But… it is still not enough."
Kirimi Miyuki could sense that her [Perfect Interpretation Method] was continually refining her dance moves, like quantum transmission, adjusting every detail’s errors as if she were playing a rhythm game, stacking up perfect moves.
Additionally, as she warmed up, her understanding of the dance "Pandora" deepened with the explosive [Heart Flow], creating a wonderful space that lifted the whole team, like a windbreaker.
This is also the core reason why Tang Liuli and Chu Wang Shu, who lack strong dance skills, could keep up perfectly with the team without relying on magic.
It can be said that Little Sakura truly evolved under pressure.
The girl purposely imitated Ji Shuzhu’s **Puppetry Melody**, surpassing the **Perfect Interpretation Method** for the first time. She focused not just on herself, but spread the perfect concept of an idol across the whole team, creating an extended BUFF skill.
That is—**Perfect Sphere**.
But it is still not enough!
This breakthrough simply spread the past self-enhancing BUFF to the whole team, greatly reducing the chances of mistakes and making the performance perfect.
This perfection is meant for the dance piece **Pandora**. To win against Xie Qingxuan, who has gone beyond the dance itself, she must also surpass the framework of **Pandora** and exceed its limits.
**Pandora** takes only four minutes to complete.
Now, 47 seconds have already passed.
If she does not achieve another evolution before time runs out, this Stage Battle will be declared a defeat.
Kirimi Miyuki stepped into the **Heart Flow** realm, combining her spirit of the day with focused energy from the brief moments, allowing her thoughts to enter a surreal accelerated state. She was trying to find a way, just like a voice-over during a time pause, continually thinking about what elements could help her surpass herself.
And in the next moment,
Tang Liuli’s voice burst forth with power, quickening the rhythm of the dance, suddenly filling the entire venue through the speakers. Her voice, as clear as a siren, perfectly matched the atmosphere of the dance, creating an intense and fiery performance with exceptional skill.
Most importantly, the girl’s emerald eyes shimmered like rippling waters, reflecting countless stars that represented all living beings, as if opening the "Heart Flow," truly portraying the unfolding of an "Emotional bond."
In this moment, she empathized with everyone in the team, selecting all the passionate feelings that matched the dance, mixing them together and enhancing them through imagination from her memory, ultimately like shooting a fiery meteor towards all the audience watching the stage, perfectly collaborating with Little Sakura for an amazing performance!
Undoubtedly, following Kirimi Miyuki, Tang Liuli also stepped up and presented a fresh answer for the entire team.
This lead singer, who was expected to do little, successfully discovered a more flexible and varied use of the "Emotional bond" under pressure, surpassing the original plan and elevating the stage’s brilliance to a new level.
This is the evolution of the "Heart Flow" and a transformation of enthusiasm.
Chu Wang Shu felt the efforts of her two idol seniors; a smile appeared on her cute face, and instead of feeling defeat and pressure, her heart was filled with a joy she had never experienced before – a sense of fighting alongside friends, burning with excitement towards their dreams.
In an instant, the faint heartwaves, like dust, swirled and surged deep within her soul.
At that moment, the girl’s usually dark brown eyes shimmered like rippling water, revealing the patterns of phosphorus leaves. She felt time slowing down, and a warm sense of nostalgia, as if being embraced, erupted within her soul.
It felt like… really being hugged by her mother.
Chu Wang Shu’s eyes widened in surprise, yet the corners of her lips curled up higher. She had never experienced such pure happiness, different from her father’s gentle hugs and Little Qing’s soft comfort. It was a love that transcended imagination, unbound by her mind’s definitions, yet still a passionate love, like a mother loving her child.
And so, the blurred realm began to unfold.
The stage seemed to turn into water ripples, speckled with phosphorus stones, sending out circles that spread into waves, merging with the Heart Flow fields of her two teammates.
At that moment, Kirimi Miyuki and Tang Liuli’s Heart Flow felt as if it had been enhanced with several layers of power, like a storm of emotions bursting forth, consuming everything while evolving within those small ripples.
The bullet comments in the live stream came to a halt.
At this point, it seemed everyone, under the terrifying pressure of the Demon King, surpassed their limits multiple times, achieving an incredible rebirth from the flames, creating a truly unprecedented triple Heart Flow field!!!
