Chapter 65: If You Get Rich and Successful, Don’t Forget Us
Standing not far from the stage, Bai Yuan watched the songstress on stage and couldn’t help but let out a small smile.
“Good job.”
Under the blank songstress’s starry scene, all eyes of the audience were focused solely on her. They no longer paid attention to anything else.
Even the area that had just been in turmoil gradually calmed down, waving their support sticks in sync with the blank singer’s melody.
But Bai Yuan noticed something.
That the effect of the blank songstress’s star seemed much stronger than yesterday, at least enough to affect him.
In this state, Bai Yuan couldn’t help but get distracted by her presence. Everything around him seemed to fade as he entered a trance-like state.
“This must be the extra stellar effect?”
It was indeed quite outrageous.
But fortunately, this wasn’t a forced effect; with proper concentration, one could resist it.
Bai Yuan had to focus on his surroundings, guarding the stage area to prevent anyone from attacking the blank songstress.
As for enemies elsewhere, he would let his colleagues handle them.

Returning to the scene of the incident.
Seeing that things had stabilized, the battle there became more intense.
The night watchmen didn’t dare use powerful stars, as they feared hurting civilians by the underhanded assassins lurking around. So, they had to engage in close combat.
When the night watchman in charge of healing arrived at the area where an enormous sound had just been heard, preparing to treat normal citizens, he found those injured still gazing at the blank songstress on stage, completely ignoring their own wounds.
It was outrageous.
But it was good.
The healing night watcher activated his star, quickly curing minor injuries and moving on to the more serious cases by lifting the individuals away.
“Wait! Who are you? Don’t touch me, I’m still watching the concert. If you don’t let go, I’m going to fight you!”
“Mister, you’re injured. For your health, please cooperate.”
“A little injury is nothing! Even if I d*e here, my soul will still cheer for the blank songstress!”
The night watchman had no choice but to knock the fan out to facilitate moving him.
Time passed, and the assassins inside the oval stadium were all cleared.
With the watchmen’s efforts, no one slipped through.
After disposing of the “trash,” the watchmen began cleaning up the damage caused during the disposal. Minor injuries were treated right away, and the seriously wounded were carried off, with no fatalities.
The concert continued smoothly.

Inside the Night Watcher base.
Mo Tu looked over the reports from the frontlines, with an unsurprised expression.
“OK, now the assasins are cleaned up, only the kidnappers remain.”
Those guys would start moving after the concert, leaving a few hours.
In the meantime, taking a brief break to watch the concert would be nice.
Back on the scene…
Night Lan sighed in relief upon hearing that the people who wanted to k*ll the blank songstress were taken care of.
“Phew~ Now I can finally enjoy the concert properly.”
With that, Night Lan stood up from her seat and started wildly swinging her support stick for her favorite songstress!
“Ahhh~! (/≧▽≦)/!!”
Seeing this on stage, the blank songstress smiled gently.
“Everyone~ Let’s sing together!”
“Ahhh~!”
Under the blank songstress’s guidance, the atmosphere of the concert rose several notches, with tens of thousands of people shouting and singing along with her songs. The energy was at its peak.
This kind of scene was unique to the concert of the blank songstress. Other songstresses couldn’t achieve this.
This was the pull of fans for the world songstress.
—
Hours later, the concert reached its end as the last song of the blank songstress drew to a close.
But the audience did not want to leave, remaining in place, chanting the name of the blank songstress.
“Blank! Blank! Blank!”
The blank songstress gently laughed as she looked out at the excited Night Lan, clapping her hands fervently below, and her numerous adoring fans, shining like stars.
Every time a concert ended, she felt:
Being able to sing was so amazing!
And the beautiful memories left behind were priceless.
Anyone who attended her concerts would remember her fondly.
“Thank you everyone, and I hope you continue supporting me in the future.”
The blank songstress slightly bowed to the crowd, making their cheers even louder.
“Ahahahaha!!”
Returning backstage, once outside the eye of the fans, she let out a deep sigh.
“That went well as usual.”
She knew this was thanks to the efforts of all the night watchers, so she was grateful to them.
If possible, she planned to hold a small concert back at the night watcher base to express her gratitude to these hardworking people.
“Okay, that’s settled.”
Time passing, the crowd in the stands began to disperse.
With tens of thousands of people leaving, the place grew vacant.
Night Lan stood next to the blank songstress, feeling extremely happy and flushed.
“That was awesome! This is my first time seeing a concert in person! I really want to come again!”
The blank songstress ruffled Night Lan’s hair, smiling softly. “Then you’ll have to be there the next time I perform.”
“Mmm!” Night Lan nodded enthusiastically. Bai Yuan walked up to her side and said, “Thank you for your hard work, Miss Blank.”
The blank songstress shook her head. “No, thank you. Thanks to you, my concert could continue. Without you, it might have stopped.”
Watching clearly on stage, it was the night watchmen who had handled the bad guys trying to k*ll her.
If she were attacked, it wouldn’t just end the concert; chaos would ensue.
A place holding tens of thousands could easily turn into pandemonium in such a situation.
Knowing this, the blank songstress was immensely grateful for the night watchmen’s efforts.
Bai Yuan continued, “It’s not over yet. The assassination attempt is handled, but someone wants to kidnap you; they might do it soon.”
“I’ll be careful.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”
Nearby, Night Lan raised her hand.
“And me too! Me too!”
Until now, nothing strange had happened to the blank songstress, nor any signs of her turning into a star eclipse. She must remain cautious.
The blank songstress gave a gentle smile.
“Thank you.”
—
Meanwhile, in a dim alleyway.
A figure which had been lying there since yesterday suddenly emitted a bizarre aura.
There were no signs of life.
But the moment he moved, slowly standing up, the star eclipse aura began to leak out from his body.
“The mission isn’t done… Blank Songstress!”
The figure instantly vanished underground, disappearing from sight.
—
At the same time, Night Star was strolling down the street, having just watched the blank songstress’s concert with some passers-by.
While she could watch from home, there was no joy there.
On the streets, she could join in the fun!
Having fun with two bodies was the best!
“Uh-huh~ This is so much fun.”
Unconsciously heading towards the central stage, not meeting anyone in particular, she just wandered around.
And then, she spotted a familiar figure, the petite young Future Songstress, Qing Liao.
Seeing this, Night Star hurried over to greet her.
“Comrade! We meet again!”
Qing Liao jumped in surprise; when she realized it was the silver-haired loli, she sighed in relief.
“What, you again?”
“Hey, is something wrong? Are you upset seeing me?”
“Not particularly…”
Then Night Star noticed something in Qing Liao’s hand. It appeared to be a support stick.
It clicked.
“Oh? Were you watching the blank songstress’s live stream nearby just now?”
“No way…” Qing Liao whispered.
“Then why do you have the blank songstress’s support stick in your hand?”
“…”
Qing Liao quickly hid the support stick behind her back, a tinge of red appearing across her face.
Seeing this, Night Star understood immediately.
“Mmm~ Hmm~ So you also felt it wasn’t the same at home and came out to watch, right?”
Night Star raised her own support stick, her eyes twinkling like stars, ready to label them comrades on the spot.
Qing Liao stared blankly at Night Star, feeling somewhat lost.
This was undeniable.
“Hmph~ I’m here to learn how to sing from the blank songstress, not to cheer, you moron!”
Night Star tilted her head.
“Arrogant then shy?”
“Not at all!”
Qing Liao screamed, then turned away in frustration.
She wondered whether she could make friends with Night Star.
But every time she got close to “making friends,” she froze.
Coming back to her senses, she could only blame herself internally.
Why was there such a terrible person like her?
“It’s just… a fool…”
Qing Liao fell into self-doubt, her mind immersed in her thoughts.
But suddenly, Night Star’s voice broke the silence.
“I’m not a fool, you’re not either.”
“Mm!?”
Qing Liao lifted her head, realizing Night Star had unknowingly approached from behind and was now staring at her face closely.
“Um~ How strange, why do you look so gloomy? Is this what they call the ‘shy’ trait? That’s rare—seeing one in real life!”
Night Star had an expression of encountering a unique species, almost leaning in for a closer look.
Only in anime had she seen such traits, and to see one in real life was surprising to her.
“Ohh~ I totally get it!”
Qing Liao was the proud-yet-shy type and yet a future world songstress!
She absolutely had to fangirl over this one.
“What’s proud-yet-shy?”
Qing Liao was confused.
Night Star explained, “It’s someone who gets proud and then immediately gets shy, like you just did, right?”
“Huh?”
“Is that so? Does that make sense?”
Not getting an immediate response, Night Star pressed on, overwhelming Qing Liao.
Why did she have to be seen through so easily?
Now her psychological defenses were useless.
Qing Liao was speechless.
Night Star stroked her chin, thinking.
“I guess you wanted to be friends with me?”
Hearing this, Qing Liao widened her eyes, shocked.
Seeing this, Night Star nodded thoughtfully.
“Oh~ Did I guess right? I’m a bit surprised. Looks like I have some charm after all. A super cute loli wanting to be friends with me—classic, only me!”
“Don’t flatter yourself…” Qing Liao muttered.
“Huh? That’s harsh!”
“You are.”
For some reason, the gloominess in Qing Liao disappeared as if chased away by someone.
“Why does the world have such shameless people?”
“Ah! Don’t say that about me!”
“It’s the truth, right? Only shameless people say such narcissistic and embarrassing stuff.”
“Gya!”
“Um… It’s unexpected to find such a peculiar little loli. Quite the eye-opener.”
“Mmm!”
Night Star puffed out her cheeks, looking indignant.
Though Qing Liao spoke negatively, Night Star felt no negative emotions—only happiness because the blue-haired loli was no longer depressed.
Achieving this was enough.
Diverting attention worked, and she gained a cute loli’s sarcasm.
What a steal!
Qing Liao watched in disbelief as Night Star’s excitement grew.
“Why do you look so excited? Do you enjoy being scolded?”
“Mmhm Yes, give me more!”
“What…?”
This outlandish reply made Qing Liao’s brain freeze.
“You are really strange.”
“Heehee~”
“This isn’t a compliment.”
“I know.”
“Mmm…”
Qing Liao realized nothing she said seemed to affect the loli.
She gave up.
Seeing Qing Liao speechless, Night Star chimed in.
“From now on, we’re friends. Being silent means you agree.”
“Mmm…”
Qing Liao remained quiet.
Because agreeing was exactly what she meant to do.
Night Star grinned happily.
“By the way, learning from the blank songstress. Are you planning to become a songstress?”
“Hmph~ Just testing the waters. With my prodigious talent, becoming a songstress would only crush the others.”
“Mmm… that makes sense.” Night Star nodded pensively.
Qing Liao felt choked.
Did Night Star not understand that she was just boasting?
This left Qing Liao unsure of how to proceed.
Night Star, however, took this as a genuine statement and considered it fact.
After all, she had indeed crushed other songstresses in the future.
The blank songstress, the world’s renowned diva, commanding nearly global popularity—it was outrageous.
“You’ve done well. Keep it up, and I’ll support you. If you ever perform, could you save tickets for me?”
“I’ll think about it…”
“In any case, I am looking forward to it. If you get rich, don’t forget us!”
“You’re such a fool, right?!”
