Chapter 126: Chapter 119: A Voice Kissed by a Demon

"Lovely Woman."

Gao Yuan spoke directly into the microphone, requesting the song he wanted.

It was one of the few songs he was confident he could perform well. At a concert with tens of thousands of people, only this song wouldn’t be a complete disaster.

Besides, it was a song he wanted to dedicate to Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing.

"Oh?"

"Are you dedicating it to the girlfriend beside you?"

Hearing Jay Chou’s question, Gao Yuan turned to look at Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing beside him.

In front of so many people, dedicating it to one would only hurt the other.

But if he announced that both were his girlfriends under the watchful eyes of the public, he would probably become the most hated scumbag on the internet overnight. And he was sitting in the VIP section, no less.

There was no telling how much resentment against the rich that would stir up.

As Gao Yuan’s mind raced for a solution, a system notification sounded in his head.

[DING! Charming Uncle - Confident Man Mission 3.0 has begun.]

[Mission]: Bravely admit to having multiple girlfriends and become the most dazzling man in the room.

[Mission Reward 1]: A voice kissed by a Demon.

[Mission Reward 2]: 5 EXP.

’The system is issuing a mission now, of all times?’

Gao Yuan’s spirits lifted instantly. He felt the system could definitely help him resolve this situation perfectly.

He was just about to check the mission details when Lin Wanyu leaned into the microphone in his hand and shouted, "Yes, he’s dedicating it to his girlfriend!"

After speaking, Lin Wanyu shot a playful smile at Gao Yuan and Li Mengqing.

Her sudden answer left Gao Yuan momentarily stunned, but in the next instant, a pang of sadness struck his heart.

’What the hell am I hesitating for?!’

’I’m a man with a system!’

Without checking the mission, Gao Yuan grabbed both Lin Wanyu’s and Li Mengqing’s hands, raised them high, and said, "That’s right!"

"I’m dedicating this song to my girlfriends!"

Gao Yuan’s voice echoed through the Grand Lotus Stadium, but because of the noise, not many people clearly heard him say "girlfriends" in the plural.

The big screen only briefly showed the moment Gao Yuan raised both girls’ hands before the camera cut back to Jay Chou.

...

Not only did Jay Chou and Old Xue on stage see this, but both of them were momentarily stunned.

Fortunately, Gao Yuan only held their hands up for a moment before quickly lowering them.

Jay Chou, on stage, slightly regretted asking that question. He knew these top second-generation rich kids never lacked girlfriends, but he hadn’t expected Gao Yuan to be so bold as to show it off openly.

But that wasn’t how Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing saw it.

So open and public.

So frank and honest.

Happy smiles instantly bloomed on their faces. Lin Wanyu even hugged Gao Yuan and planted a kiss on his cheek.

"’Lovely Woman’!"

"That’s a song from your very first album!"

At the critical moment, it was Old Xue who stepped in. The guy had a natural comedic flair and always spoke with exaggerated expressions.

He spoke up to save the situation, and Jay Chou immediately shifted the topic back to the song.

"This handsome guy wants to dedicate ’Lovely Woman’ to his girlfriend and his sister."

"Music director, get ready."

The music started, along with the sound of a helicopter taking off.

Just then, Gao Yuan finally checked the system mission, only to find a notification that he had already completed it.

Upon checking, he realized the mission was simply to openly admit to having two girlfriends.

His impulsive action, spurred by Lin Wanyu’s words, had perfectly fulfilled the requirement.

And the reward was directly related to singing.

[A Voice Kissed by a Demon]: Effortlessly master any song, imbued with the unique allure of a Charming Uncle.

Gao Yuan slowly exhaled and claimed his system reward.

Looking up, he saw Jay Chou on stage gesturing for him to start. Gao Yuan didn’t hesitate and began to sing.

"I want a helicopter."

"I want to fly with you to outer space."

"I want to melt with you, melt into the Milky Way." ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

...

From the moment Gao Yuan sang the first word, the clamor in the Grand Lotus Stadium gradually died down.

The entire venue fell silent. Even Jay Chou on stage forgot to come in on his part. He never expected Gao Yuan’s voice to have such penetrating power, and his vocal technique was spot-on.

Holding the microphone, Gao Yuan kept his eyes on Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing as he sang, pouring his love for both of them into the song.

Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing were also stunned from the moment he began to sing.

It was only now that they realized how beautifully Gao Yuan could sing. Standing right beside him, they felt the magic in his voice more clearly than anyone else.

Coupled with his affectionate gaze, both girls couldn’t help but cover their mouths and noses with their hands as tears of emotion streamed from their eyes.

The large screen above the stage switched several times between the trio of Gao Yuan, Lin Wanyu, and Li Mengqing, and the shot of Jay Chou.

Because Lin Wanyu had been calling him "brother," and Jay Chou had said the song was for his girlfriend and sister, the entire audience assumed Gao Yuan was at the concert with his sister and girlfriend.

With the atmosphere created by the song, everyone was immersed in the beautiful declaration of love and didn’t consider the possibility of two girlfriends.

Jay Chou joined in during the latter half of the song. His rendition expressed gentle affection, while Gao Yuan’s was full of a domineering possessiveness.

The two completely different voices and emotions clashed, like a confrontation between an angel and a demon.

When the song ended, everyone could feel their hearts beating a little faster.

From the moment he started, Gao Yuan’s powerful voice had instantly captured their hearts.

Fortunately, Jay Chou joined in later, his gentle and sweet voice soothing the feeling of pressure in their hearts.

"This is the first time I’ve ever heard this song sung like that!"

As everyone was still savoring that performance of "Lovely Woman," Old Xue once again saved the moment.

"Did he sing well or not?"

At this point, Jay Chou no longer cared if Gao Yuan had two girlfriends.

Music has no boundaries. The moment Gao Yuan opened his mouth, Jay Chou knew this man understood music.

Although Gao Yuan’s version of the song was full of dominance, it also contained the tenderness of a tough guy.

"It was great, you loved it, and you want to hear more, right?"

"YES!"

This time, the entire audience responded to Jay Chou with a unified roar.

A single performance of "Lovely Woman" had filled them all with a yearning for love, and their faces were now beaming with happy smiles.

At that moment, Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing were clinging to Gao Yuan’s arms, one on each side, their heads tilted up as they gazed at him with eyes full of adoration.

’This is our boyfriend!’

’So talented and so warm.’

The next moment, Jay Chou stood on stage and invited Gao Yuan to come up.

Gao Yuan initially didn’t want to go. ’Going on stage now would be showing off too much!’

But Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing pulled his hands, led him to the steps at the side of the stage, and looked at him with expectant eyes.

Seeing the look in their eyes, Gao Yuan no longer hesitated. He instantly adopted the air of a confident, domineering CEO and walked up.

As he walked on stage, the show director’s voice came through Jay Chou’s earpiece: "How about we take this opportunity to have Teacher Xue and this guest sing a song? You can take a break offstage."

It was just a suggestion; the final decision was still up to Jay Chou.

Watching Gao Yuan approach, Jay Chou thought it was actually a pretty good idea. This guest’s singing ability was very strong.

Judging by the audience’s reaction just now, Gao Yuan could clearly captivate their ears and hearts. He had no reason to worry about a performance mishap.

So, Jay Chou turned and whispered a few words to Old Xue beside him.

Gao Yuan walked up to Jay Chou and Old Xue. Looking out at the sea of glowing light sticks in the Grand Lotus Stadium, he had to admit it was his first time in front of such a massive crowd. It was impossible not to be nervous.

But with the buff from his "Voice Kissed by a Demon" and the air of a confident, domineering CEO, he wasn’t afraid.

’Embarrassing myself is out of the question. The only thing to see now is what kind of an impact I can make.’

"Have you had vocal training?"

Jay Chou asked, looking at Gao Yuan with curiosity.

Even Old Xue, standing to the side, thought Gao Yuan seemed more like a professional singer, or at least someone who had received professional training. Yet, he had never heard of Gao Yuan in the industry.

’With a voice like that, it’s completely unbelievable he isn’t famous!’

"No, I’m just an ordinary e-commerce worker."

This left both Jay Chou and Old Xue astonished. ’You call that ordinary?’

’Does that make the two of us just ordinary singers?’

’Even if we were willing to accept that title, would our tens of millions of fans agree?’

At that moment, a thought popped into Jay Chou’s head.

’Could this be the so-called crossover phenomenon?’

It was just like that famous quote from Lei Busi: the one who defeats you might not even be in your industry.

Meanwhile, the audience below erupted in cheers again.

Gao Yuan’s line about being an "ordinary e-commerce worker" resonated with them.

At this point, they genuinely believed Gao Yuan had been randomly selected to request a song. Even though he was in the VIP section, the ticket prices weren’t ridiculously expensive.

At two thousand yuan a ticket, an ordinary person could afford it if they gritted their teeth and saved up to see their idol up close.

In that moment, Gao Yuan seemed to become the embodiment of all the fans, representing them on stage with their idol!

"Which of my songs is your favorite?"

Jay Chou asked with a smile.

Seeing Gao Yuan thinking seriously, he added jokingly, "You’re allowed to say you like all of them."

"Track."

Gao Yuan gave the answer from his heart.

It was a song he often listened to in high school, one that had once soothed the troubles of his first brush with love.

"Oh~"

"I love that song too!"

Jay Chou said, placing a hand on Gao Yuan’s shoulder. By now, he was treating Gao Yuan as a fellow musician.

"So, would the two of you like to sing a duet next?"

Jay Chou looked at Gao Yuan and Xue Zhiqian. He and Old Xue had already discussed it, but the main thing was to get Gao Yuan’s opinion.

"Sure!"

"Should we sing one of your songs or one of mine?"

Xue Zhiqian was invited by Jay Chou as a guest performer, so naturally, he had no objection. He even looked at Jay Chou pointedly as he asked.

"Either is fine. Or you could sing a song you both want to sing."

He said this while looking at Gao Yuan, since Gao Yuan was an unexpected guest. He mainly wanted to accommodate Gao Yuan’s song repertoire.

"Can I sing ’Hollow Heart’?"

Gao Yuan didn’t stand on ceremony and asked directly.
