### Chapter 8: Three Chefs in Ecstasy
In the following time, Kong Yu Bai began discussing a thrilling joint performance with Qing Liao.
Night Star, on the side, was slacking off, occasionally eavesdropping on their conversation.
Kong Yu Bai’s plan was likely to create some beautiful memories on their date day.
Once a world-renowned songstress, she naturally excelled at singing.
Performing on stage together with Night Star would be an incredible experience.
However, Night Star was typically uninterested in public performances, refusing to budge even for weekend theater shows, let alone a grand performance.
But today, since it was a rare date with Kong Yu Bai, why not indulge her?
After all, Night Star was a great friend!
Not long after, the discussion between Kong Yu Bai and Qing Liao wrapped up.
They planned to borrow a public stage somewhere in Yun Chang City for an impromptu performance.
Sneaking onto the stage silently, without any announcement or promotion, everything was set to unfold as soon as the music started.
How many audience members showed up didn’t matter.
After all, there was only one day for their date.
Kong Yu Bai wouldn’t waste time on all that fuss.
As the perspective shifted, Night Star, Kong Yu Bai, and Qing Liao found themselves on the stage of a certain square.
This place felt familiar to Night Star.
“Um~ I think this is the stage we used when our Rising Sun Theater Group performed out in the wild. This place should be called Wan Yu Square, right?”
“Exactly! Night Star remembers it well, impressive~”
Kong Yu Bai smiled and patted Night Star’s head.
Night Star puffed out her chest with pride.
“Of course! My memory is explosively good! I remember everything clearly!”
Qing Liao, standing to the side, couldn’t help but mock.
“I was there too, you know! I was just a bystander, totally didn’t expect there would be such a dangerous turn of events later. My presence was nearly nonexistent.”
Back then, Qing Liao had disguised herself as an ordinary citizen, curiously drifting into a performance, completely unaware of the lurking dangers.
Suddenly, a group of Night Watchers had emerged, surrounding the Rising Sun Theater Group, and one of the audience performers had even gotten caught in a sniper’s crossfire! That scene was absolutely chaotic.
Qing Liao could never forget that day.
But of course, none of this mattered now.
It was time to hit the stage!
The three climbed up, and music began to play.
Their beautiful voices floated far away.
…
At that moment, Night Sky and her crew, strolling around Wan Yu Square, suddenly heard a melodious singing.
“Huh? Is someone singing nearby? Sounds pretty good! Let’s go check it out!”
Kaguya and the others were intrigued as well.
After arriving in this world, they had come across plenty of its entertainment offerings.
Books, songs, films, you name it.
This brand-new world was like a treasure trove just waiting for Night Sky and her crew to explore, and in just a few days, they’d only scratched the surface.
In the music sphere, they were already aware of the world-famous Qing Liao Songstress and the immensely popular Starry Sky Songstress online.
Once you heard their voices, you’d never forget them.
With their high levels of mental strength, Night Sky and her friends were more attuned to sounds than most people.
From the drifting melodies, they could easily tell it was live singing, and remarkably similar to Qing Liao’s tone.
Meeting a world-renowned songstress in person would be quite a treat.
Moments later, they followed the sound and reached the stage, spotting three figures up there.
“Oh snap~ Look who we have here, familiar faces!”
Night Sky recognized the three on stage immediately.
Qing Liao and Kong Yu Bai weren’t hiding their appearances at all, making them easy to spot.
As for the petite silver-haired figure wearing a mask? Well, you could guess who she was just by looking at her backside!
“Starry Sky Songstress, Qing Liao Songstress, and the audience performer? What a fun combination!”
Night Sky watched this scene with great delight.
Kong Yu Bai used to be the world songstress; her existence was a no-brainer to anyone paying just a smidgen of attention.
But the fact that the elusive Starry Sky Songstress turned out to be Night Star Lan? Now that was a twist.
Night Sky was certainly taken aback.
If it weren’t for that familiar vocal tone, she would never have connected the dots to Night Star Lan’s other identity.
Suddenly, she felt a wave of nostalgia.
She also had a songstress friend, someone who had created beautiful memories in school and sung for many.
It seemed now that Night Star Lan’s journey was getting uncomfortably similar to hers.
Truly, soulmates recognize each other late in the game.
As people gathered, not just Night Sky’s friends but passersby stopped in their tracks, astonished by the spectacle unfolding onstage.
“Whoa! Starry Sky Songstress! Qing Liao Songstress! Plus an audience performer! What is this fantastic combination?!”
“I’m shook for an entire year! How did I get so lucky to see this? By the way, is this an impromptu performance? No announcements whatsoever?”
The crowd buzzed with excitement.
Kong Yu Bai was the former world songstress and Qing Liao was the current one; their fanbases overlapped significantly.
Add in the recently rising popularity of the audience performer, who had dazzled everyone at the grand performance, and you had an absolute fan frenzy.
Three chefs were indeed in ecstasy.
Night Star, very naturally, sang alongside her two fellow songstresses, unaffected by the audience below.
After all, she was wearing the audience performer mask; no one could recognize her true identity.
This situation felt very much like any usual theater performance.
No, wait.
Night Star thought she spotted Night Sky’s silhouette among the crowd.
From Night Sky’s subtle expressions, she might have already figured her out.
After a few songs, the area turned into a sea of people.
Upon realizing that the Starry Sky Songstress, Qing Liao Songstress, and audience performer were performing together, residents of Yun Chang City rushed in, packing the space to the brim, creating quite the scene.
Because of this, Kaguya had to use “Soul Suggestion” to maintain order.
“This is getting too chaotic! Don’t they have any awareness of their own fame? Showing up here to sing without a word! They’re practically agents of chaos!”
While Kong Yu Bai and Night Star were skilled enough to not fear danger, the lack of notice to the local law enforcement would definitely give those folks a headache.
Night Sky shrugged it all off.
“Well, Night Star has her invincible Wish Machine. Let them have a little fun! Also, did you hear? They’re singing about romance and love, especially Kong Yu Bai’s emotional singing—it’s practically bursting with feelings!”
Kaguya and the others nodded thoughtfully.
“Is that a confession to someone?”
Night Sky’s gaze turned a bit mournful as she watched Night Star.
“Never thought she’d go that far—one isn’t enough, now she’s starting a harem. I’m kind of jealous.”
Night Sky just wanted to come and enjoy some singing, but unexpectedly ended up surrounded by love drama.
At least she wasn’t the most unfortunate; that title might belong to Qing Liao, who seemed ever so extra on stage.
Wasn’t she lured here under false pretenses for this madness?
