Chapter 136-150

Chapter 136: The Return of a Diva

“I won’t let go.” Li Lei held her hand even more tightly.

Xia Ling was furious and struggled hard to escape his grip but to no avail. Just as she was about to continue fighting, the crystal chandelier in the hall suddenly went out. Her movements came to a halt and she lifted her head. In front of her, a beam of light slowly appeared in the darkness and shined on the stage where the emcee was standing. The emcee’s low-pitched voice rang through the hall. “Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for attending Diva Xia Ling’s final tribute: The Caged Butterfly Conference.”

The hall immediately became silent.

Everyone held their breath and anticipated what was about to happen.

Xia Ling realized that it was not the right decision to continue struggling to escape Li Lei’s grip as she might cause an even greater commotion.

She was held in place by Li Lei and could not move, so she listened to the emcee as he tirelessly continued his speech. He recollected her previous life and introduced the song’s main theme. Finally, he said, “Everyone must be very curious. The Diva Xia Ling has already passed away, and her voice was considered the peak of poetic perfection. How did her previous producer, Mr. Feng Kun, restore the song? This will soon be disclosed to everyone.”

This was definitely something everyone was curious about. Her voice was very unique and had a wide vocal range. She could easily master many difficult notes that laymen could not possibly imitate.

Who else could possibly sing her important final song after her death?

Xia Ling was also very curious herself, such that she forgot that she was still angry with Li Lei. She quieted down and fixated her eyes on the screen. She trusted Feng Kun’s eye for talent, he must have chosen the most suitable singer to perform the song. Who could it be?

The lights on the stage started to change.

Then, cheers came from all directions.

Looking at the many dots of light slowly appearing in the hall, she felt a faint sense of familiarity. Gold, silver, and purple… It was like fireflies dancing. Gradually, all the dots of light gathered together to form an immensely beautiful girl. The virtual figure of the girl silently stood on the stage. She was wearing a gorgeous dress, a pink diamond bracelet, and was gently holding a microphone. Her head was slightly raised, revealing a distinctly beautiful face. Her sharp eyes were overflowing with confidence like a queen who ruled the world. One look from her was enough to enchant all living creatures.

That is…

“Xia Ling… That is the Diva Xia Ling!”

There was a sudden commotion in the crowd.

Who would have thought that they would see the return of the Diva here? This conference used 3D holographic projection technology to re-create her last concert perfectly! Within the sound coming from the surrounding stereo speakers, the cheers grew louder, and numerous people shouted in unison. “Encore! Encore! Encore!”

That was the real audio recording from that day.

The reality of that concert happened again.

Xia Ling felt a little dizzy. She did not expect it to be like this. For a moment, it was as if she had returned to that high and huge stage and was looking at more than a hundred thousand crazy fans below the stage. She said—

“Ok then, I will sing an encore.”

The voice seemed very realistic. It did not come from her memories but from the illusory projection on stage. The sound of the music rang in all directions. The prelude was psychedelic and low-pitched like the intricate falling of flowers that was sometimes violent and sad, and sometimes mildly passionate. However, it was completely different from what happened that day. That day, she sang acapella, and there was no prelude.
