Don't confiscate my citizenship

Chapter 884: Lan Qi's self-sacrifice

Chapter 884 Lan Qi’s sacrifice for charity

Voices and music intertwined on the stage, echoing in the grand concert hall of the Icerite Opera House.

The actors wore costumes and showed off their singing and acting talents.

"Birds announce the arrival of spring."

"That's how I fell in love."

"You stole my heart."

"Even so, I still want to continue to protect my pure garden until the end of my life."

The heroine conquered the audience with her beautiful voice and delicate and touching performance.

After her song monologue, the dialogue between her and the male protagonist also reached a climax. The audience was completely immersed in this beautiful music and gave warm applause from time to time.

In the orchestra pit, the orchestra worked closely with the actors on stage to give the entire opera a sometimes passionate, sometimes soft and lyrical movement.

“…”

Sigrid looked back at Antanas and Shinora.

She could capture and distinguish clear voices, and had heard the chat between Antanas and Sinora before.

Everyone felt that Xiubao seemed to be possessed by Tata today.

But no matter how she looked at it, Sigrid felt that the girl who acted as a half-witch was Hyperion, and it was unlikely that Thalia used disguise magic to dress up.

Sigrid watched the reaction of the audience in the opera house.

It seems that the audience who have heard of the famous Cinderella story are very interested in this joyful travelogue-like opera performance being performed at this moment.

Although the half-witch looks a little more unruly and cheerful than expected, she can also sing, she can also show off, and she can be eclectic, strong yet soft.

It can be seen that the half-witch is performing wholeheartedly and just wants to perform the scene well.

The only problem is that at this moment, the male and female protagonists seem to have no idea what the other will say or do next, which makes the opera more like a happy comedian.

In other words, the two of them seemed to have no script or lines, completely recreating the two demon nobles who met for the first time during the Holy War era, and it was difficult to match the pace.

They stumbled and supported each other from time to time, which caused a hilarious effect that the audience did not expect.

“…”

Sigrid thought for a moment.

"Borrow it for a moment."

Sigrid left the table a little, and when passing Thalia's seat, she bowed down, grabbed Thalia and smelled her.

"Are you Lanfu?"

Sigrid asked the gray-haired and golden-eyed beauty in front of her in surprise.

It doesn't smell like mom.

This is indeed not Thalia.

"yes."

The gray-haired beauty with golden eyes nodded obediently.

Now that Sigrid has discovered it, she has no need to hide it.

Anyway, she was here dressed as Thalia at Thalia's request.

"Holy shit, Lan Qi has now discovered that the person opposite is Tata."

Sigrid looked at the stage.

She probably guessed why Tata dressed up as Xiubao.

Based on Huabao's physical condition last month, it can be inferred that the demonic factors of the scorpion demon lineage of the blasphemous Lord Melogas must have begun to affect Hyperian, and Tata had to go to the rescue at this time.

When Lanci first played against the half-witch, his instinct might tell him that the half-witch in front of him was Tata.

But Lan Qi's reason will continue to prove to him that the girl in front of him is a treasure in terms of magic power and aura.

By now, Lan Qi should have figured it out even if his brain processes were occupied by "timely rescue" and "improvisation" -

This half-witch is actually the product of the fusion of Tata and Xiubao!

"Wait a minute, it's both Tata and Xiubao. Wouldn't that be double happiness?"

Sigrid frowned and thought, and she discovered something surprising.

She had been worrying about how to hug Lanxiuta from left to right, and now she seemed to have found a way.

She quickly shook her head, it was not the time to think about this.

Sigrid is not worried about anything else. What she is worried about is that Lan Qi is already overwhelmed. After a morning of overclocking his brain, he will now have to overclock again for an afternoon.

But now she can't help Lan Qi.

Sigrid could only sit back and pray that Ranchi could use his super brain to get through this final difficulty.

After more than an hour of performance, the final act has arrived on the stage.

The scene changes with the operation of curtains, machinery and projections.

The musicians held their breath and stared at the stage attentively.

The bow dances on the strings, the flute melody is graceful, the harp strings jingle, and the notes circle and float above the hall, interweaving the melody of the final chapter.

The stage lights gradually turned on, first soft yellow, then bright spotlights.

The huge set in the background projects the rolling peaks of the Demon Realm Ent Mountains, and the sparkling lake at the foot of the mountains reflects the colors of dusk.

This is a dreamy and profound dusk wonderland.

Along with the music, the heroine slowly enters the pure land.

The half-witch was wearing a pure white dress, and her bright and charming face was filled with contentment after playing for many days.

"It seems our journey is almost over."

She was humming a tune softly on her lips, her ethereal and pure voice was as sweet as the sound of nature, and she was talking about the love in her heart.

"I'm back here again, the place you remember spending time with me... There's always a blank space in my memory. Someone should be by my side, but no matter how I recall it, I'm the only one."

The male protagonist, the demon governor, also appeared on the stage, looking melancholy.

After he and the half-witch lady walked such a journey again, his eyes seemed to be doting, but he couldn't hide the tiredness in his eyes.

Even though he still couldn't remember the half-witch, he and the half-witch became trustworthy friends during the fight.

"But why don't we go find Archduke Hoster?"

The half-witch looked at the temple at dusk on the mountain.

She estimated in her mind that this was probably where the two-hour show would end.

The two of them just seemed to be in an attitude of giving up, wandering to this dusk church.

In the original work, this scene should not exist.

"No need, this is the end of our journey."

Lan Qi was already used to it when he heard the half-witch's random lines.

This isn't Hyperion, it's just a mixture of Thalia and Hyperion.

"So listen to me..."

Lan Qi roughly figured out what emergency happened that turned Hyperion into Talia.

But he couldn't blame Talia, because Talia came to help them save the situation. The only thing she didn't know was the change in the script. If the script hadn't been significantly changed, then her performance would be perfectly fine.

"We don't have much time, please just listen to me from now on, okay?"

Lan Qi also simply threw away the script.

Now only he can make this scene a masterpiece.

"Eh?"

Thalia looked at Lanqi in surprise.

Not only had she never seen the scenes of the Ent Mountains and the Dusk Church in the book, but she had also never seen the Governor speak such lines in the original book.

"Isn't our purpose on this journey to find the murderer who cursed you and solve the mystery?"

Thalia could only follow the contents of the teleprompter and make up as much as possible, trying to ask him.

"No."

Lan Qi shook his head.

"But…"

The half-witch still wants to play tricks on her.

"I'm sure time is running out. Can you just listen to me?"

Lan Qi approached forcefully, lowered his head and said to her.

The excessive closeness of her cheeks and eyes made Thalia retreat subconsciously, leaning against the pillars of the temple.

"You you..."

Talia's cheeks turned red. She remembered that there should be no kissing scene, but if Lan Qi wanted to kiss her...

Wait, this is the body fused with Xiubao.

Thalia wonders whatever she thinks.

If Lan Qi kissed her in this state, was Lan Qi kissing Xiubao or kissing her?

"I just obey you."

Thalia didn't have time to think, so she could only say weakly, turning her cheek to the side, not daring to look directly into Lan Qi's eyes.

"I am convinced that Archduke Hoster is not the mastermind behind the curse on us. Do you know why?"

Lan Qi asked her without moving any closer.

"…Why?"

Thalia looked at Lanqi, her eyes full of confusion.

This sentence shouldn’t exist either.

But she was stunned when she looked directly into Lan Qi's serious eyes that seemed to penetrate her soul.

It was a look that believed in her, and at the same time hoped that she would cooperate with him, just like every time the two of them shared life and death, he would always entrust his life to her.

Only then did Talia begin to feel a little flustered.

Lan Qi was so determined that it made her a little self-doubt.

Could it be that she had been using the wrong lines before, and Lan Qi was helping her get it right the whole time?

"Why, tell me quickly."

Thalia also no longer relies on the teleprompter.

Each of her next lines will be coordinated with Lan Qi's.

Even though she has lost her confidence now, with Lan Qi around, she trusts Lan Qi to guide her soul.

The audience off the stage has already been immersed in the performance.

They were not only curious about what the suspense was about to be revealed, but also felt excited because the two of them were finally in love.

The half-witch had been tough with her words for a long time, but now she finally softened her words.

The Governor also seemed ready to face his own feelings.

"How is this feeling of trusting each other's souls performed?"

"It doesn't look like an act. It's like they have really lived and died together many times. Even if they are on and off the show, reincarnated in another life, and have no memory, they can still resonate with each other."

"With this atmosphere and foreshadowing, it has to be a happy ending, right? It's unlikely that it will suddenly turn tragic, right? I'm a little afraid, because some details in the previous plot suggest something is wrong."

"No, no, no, don't talk nonsense."

There were frequent whispers and whispers in the audience.

The governor and the half-witch were like a journey together. Even if it failed to awaken Feng Chen's memory, it also opened up the barriers in the soul.

"Let me just say this is a comedy. This can't be a tragic ending!"

Ifatiya said to the black-haired aristocratic woman next to her with a smile on her face.

When she first entered the opera house, she heard Mignel say that today's ending would be a tragedy. She was still worried for a long time, fearing that eating sweets would end up with a knife.

As a result, I am almost watching the last scene, and I am still so happy.

"It's so beautiful."

Mignel also smiled with a girlish smile,

"Am I really mistaken?"

But now she turned her mind away from the stage, thought about it carefully, and began to doubt her previous judgment.

If this is really a comedy that everyone is happy with, then why does the promotional video have to be shot in a sad and happy style and end in tragedy?

The purpose of the promotional video should be to predict in advance, so that the audience can be mentally prepared and better integrated into the atmosphere of the opera, and match the audience's expectations and emotions with the actual performance. It is essentially a kind of foreshadowing and preparation.

"You must have misunderstood."

Epatia said to Miniel confidently.

Today this is definitely a comedy.

She also patted Abigail beside her.

"Abigail, you say so."

Epatia asked Abigail, feeling that it was hard to find a true friend.

"I...don't know either."

Abigail spat out such words.

She told the truth.

She really didn't know what the two people on the stage would do in the next second.

Being able to persist until now is purely due to her deep trust in Lan Qi after experiencing a series of disasters.

“…”

Mignel looked at Abigail next to Ifatia, took Ifatia's hand, and told her not to disturb Director Abigail anymore.

Ifatiya didn't realize how serious the problem was at all.

But Mignel can roughly analyze it.

It seemed like a real stage accident.

"You noticed it too?"

Sigrid observed Miniel's expression and asked her.

More and more relatives and friends around him are gradually noticing Ni Duan's tendency. Even the cat boss feels that the matter is not simple and sits upright in Bianca's arms.

But obviously apart from Pranay who has escaped and the cat boss who is starting to get scared, the two people who can see the most clearly now are the two appreciators of the promotional video who have their own opinions.

If it ended with comedy like this today, it might be a good work, but it would definitely not meet Abigail's expectations.

Full comedy would make all other publicity and preparation redundant.

It cannot withstand the review and scrutiny of industry insiders.

After these last two shows, industry insiders will surely discover the paradox.

But it has already turned out like this, and it cannot be forced to turn into a tragic ending. A hard landing will only lead to the direct failure of today's performance.

The biggest problem is that Sigrid can see that many of the foreshadowings may be foreshadowing that the half-witch is a ghost. The ending of the last scene must also be designed to reveal this secret. The version arranged by Ranchi and Huberly It should be a tragedy.

Therefore, on the basis that the stage and script have defined the tragic ending, and under the exaggeration of this dusk palace, the forced implementation of comedy may also fail.

No matter whether you choose comedy or tragedy, it seems that there is no ending. The loopholes will only become more and more. It is doomed from the beginning of the show.

"Did Lan Qi swear a poisonous oath to the goddess of fate? He went to jail twice for acting in a row."

Minel asked Sigrid.

The stage becomes increasingly unpredictable, and the final act is clearly the final moment.

And the moment of the end is getting closer and closer, and it will take a few minutes to make a desperate comeback.

The audience seats, which surround the stage in a horseshoe shape and spread out, can enjoy the wonderful performances on the stage no matter how far away they are. The dedicated performances of the actors on the stage, the smart dance beauty, and the shocking music make every audience at the scene fascinated. Immerse yourself in the historical world of the Northern Continent during the Holy War created by the opera.

Although no audience has discovered that the male and female protagonists really did not act according to the script, for Lan Qi, at the next divergent intersection, whether he chooses comedy or tragedy, it is a dead end!

"He really did it..."

Sigrid recalled that at the end of the attack on Blood Moon City, Lan Qi seemed to have said that she would never impersonate the name of the Goddess of Destiny again.

As a result, he turned around and turned Loren into Luo Tianyi.

"Good guy, does he really want to pay off his debt?"

Miñel looked at the performance on the stage and it was still going on. Lan Qi was still trying his best and showed no intention of giving up.

Teacher Lan, can this be saved?

Mignel felt that Lan Qi's ability to rescue him in the first place was already legendary.

Now that Lan Qi's career is over, the last side mission is even more hellish than the main line of his career.

Stage in church at dusk.

No matter how the seasons change, it is always warm and pleasant in the old temple on this cliff and sea of flowers. The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the stone pillars, and the breeze lifts the fresh air and light-colored petals.

The heroes and heroines of the opera are on the grass outside the church.

“I think I’ve probably figured it out along the way.”

The Demon Governor sat lazily on the ground with a faint smile on his face.

"What do you understand?"

Seeing the Governor's tired look, the half-witch also sat down on her knees, looked into his eyes and asked him.

She was very noisy along the way. But now, she seemed very quiet.

"I want to lie to myself, I don't want to wake up."

The demon governor raised his hand to caress the half-witch's cheek, but stopped when he was about to touch her.

There was no trace of reluctance or loss in his emerald green pupils, there was only tenderness and a little bit of relief when he was about to give in to her.

He knew and understood without saying anything or asking, and every moment seemed like forever.

No one knew whether he was ready to admit that he liked the half-witch, or whether he was feeling sad.

The melody played on the piano on the stage is melodious and gentle, and the notes flow through the heart like a stream, smoothing out the joys and sorrows of the times in the opera. The left hand is sometimes steady and powerful, sometimes as soft as a catkin, as if to imply the unpredictability of fate.

“…”

The half-witch still couldn't figure out what he meant.

But she knew that she could just show her natural doubts at this moment.

As long as she conforms to Lan Qi's imagination of her and responds as Lan Qi can predict, then the performance of the two of them will be successful, because Lan Qi has just told her that everything will be successful if he is guided by him.

"Do you miss those times when we drifted off to sleep, missing each other?"

The demon governor became more and more sleepy, and the smile that sometimes slightly closed his eyelids and the corners of his mouth remained unchanged.

he asked the half-witch.

“…”

The half-witch didn't answer.

Since it didn't match her original lines, Lan Qi's intention was obviously that she didn't need to respond, she just needed to feel his feelings and return his loving eyes.

Perhaps what Lan Qi expected was that she would be silent at this moment like a non-existent phantom.

The lines in her teleprompter should have been almost finished by now, but since she stopped reading the script, she just watched the words float away in her field of vision, turning a deaf ear.

After a while, maybe it's time for her to exit, and the drama will finally come to an end.

Even so, she believed in Lan Qi.

"We are sure we will find our place among the stars."

The demon governor's eyes gradually became hazy,

"If we chase the past, we can only indulge in fantasy."

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to be unable to resist the pull of the **** of sleep.

"But while I'm still awake, I'm going to enjoy every minute of it."

Lan Qi caressed his chest with one hand, and slowly reached towards the half-witch's cheek with the other hand, but it seemed that he could never reach her side.

The melody in the orchestra pit began to be rapid and intense, wave after wave, seeming to tell the characters' inner emotions and unspeakable nostalgia.

"Before dusk falls and the light separates you and me."

"Before tonight is over."

"Before the memories start to fade."

The demon governor's words to the half-witch are like praying to the gods in the temple.

"I just want to keep these nights forever, like lucid dreams."

Tick tock, the gears in the church bell tower turn.

The bell of dusk is about to ring.

When the dusk bell rang, the half-witch still sat quietly beside him, but she no longer spoke, as if she had turned into a statue.

"No matter what the truth is, I have already been fascinated by you."

His eyes, as soft as spring lakes, admitted his love for the half-witch.

The bright eyes of the half-witch figure reflected in him finally dimmed at this moment, dissipating like a phantom, and the light in the eyes was no longer visible.

When the melancholy seems overwhelming, the music slowly calms down. The melody becomes soothing and gentle, like a ray of sunshine penetrating the gloom and illuminating the soul.

The farewell melody faintly emerges, intertwined with the main melody, symbolizing the arrival of hope and salvation in the world.

The swaying and changeable notes are like a candlelight in the darkness, reflecting the glimmer of light in the heart.

The Governor was speechless at this point.

Those words just now were his last words.

The Governor drooped his eyes, finally unable to resist the sleepiness.

He was nostalgic for the warm sunshine of spring, which fell on him just like her lively company, making him forget the sorrow of the past.

Just like that, he lay on the ground and fell into a dreamlike sleep.

And even in the end, the half-witch just sat beside him, guarding him like a wife.

The song ends with a quiet and ethereal ending, with a long aftertaste.

The distant melody seems to be whispering and praying, but also seems to be gazing and meditating. The answer to suspicion may never be found, but the power of love will eventually awaken everything.

The last note sounded and disappeared silently, leaving a feeling that echoes in my heart for a long time.

At this point, the show finally came to an end.

Outside the stage screen, under the starry sky-like theater dome.

“…”

Abigail looked at the curtain, and her face reflected the bright and dark light and shadow of the stage.

The heartbeat of the demon governor and the voice of the half-witch lady echoed in the space through the panoramic sound system.

Suddenly, the light in the theater woke her up and brought her back to reality.

At this moment, gorgeous lights are falling like stars, illuminating the entire music hall and decorating it into a dreamy universe.

Looking at the empty performance hall of the giant opera house, Abigail leaned back in her chair, relaxed and looked up at the sky, thinking about this ending originally created by Lanci.

This abrupt ending, the cryptic confession, and the silent companionship leave an open ending more than a comedy.

This is the safest ending plan, and it also brings the situation into perspective.

But judging from the current situation, today's performance was a complete failure.

Because the mystery was not solved, the audience did not know in the end why the Governor could not remember the half-witch. It was like watching an incomplete suspense drama that covered all the puzzles and lacked the most crucial twist. .

Even though the audience may have a good impression of it as a comedy, it does not have the effect she originally planned, and it is completely different from the theme that the promotional music wants to express.

When critics watch today's public screening broadcast, they will find the conflict between the performance and the promotional film, as well as the contradictions of its extreme failure.

"Headache."

Abigail covered her forehead.

If there was no flaw in the promotional video, the ending with Ranchi and Tata's passionate performance is actually very artistic, with a sense of companionship as they quietly listen to each other's voices.

I don’t know why Lan Qi was so involved in the performance at the end. It gave Abigail the illusion that Lan Qi had a back-up plan. It also made Abigail not understand that he asked the half-witch to "sober up" at the end. What is the meaning of the lines on the theme "Dream"?

Now I can only change the script for tomorrow's second performance into the same comedy as today.

etc.

"It seems like there is no need to change it."

Abigail's eyes widened.

She understood what Lan Qi meant.

if-

Call Ranchi and Tata's performance today version A.

Tomorrow, Sunday's audience will watch another version performed by Ranchi and Hyperion. The version that reveals that the half-witch is a ghost is called version B.

The audience will then find that if the story of the first day and the story of the second day are combined, it means that everything in the first version performed today is just a sweet dream from the governor's perspective.

The second version, which will be staged tomorrow, is the truth that is really revealed at dusk - the half-witch has become a ghost, and the Governor needs to wake up.

Putting the stories of version A and version B together, everything is different.

Tomorrow, the original version, which will be officially starred by Hu Bao, will become a masterpiece that truly shocks the hearts of the audience with the contrast of joy and sorrow, under the guidance of Lan Qi.

Applause rang out in the performance hall.

The vast majority of the audience did not realize what was hidden in the next day's performance and were already satisfied with today's performance.

The performances of both the male protagonist and the female protagonist are quite personal and can make the audience laugh from the performance level.

When the hero and heroine finally got married and revealed their feelings under the temple at dusk, and the noisy journey ended with quiet listening, and the love was completed happily, the entire audience was moved and applauded.

The lights gradually turned on, illuminating the troupe on stage as they were taking their final call.

The long-lasting applause sounded like thunder, and most of the actors' eyes flashed with emotion.

Once again they acted out a completely different play than they had rehearsed.

I kind of understand why Mao Xianren quit the group to dance hip-hop after his last performance.

Front row of the auditorium.

"Lan Qi, I'm really lucky to have you..."

Abigail leaned back in her chair with lingering fear.

She covered her face and cried.

"Abigail, what's wrong with you?"

Bianca put down the little black cat in her arms and patted Abigail on the shoulder with concern.

She just felt that Abigail was too excited at the moment.

It's like passing through the catastrophe of life and death.

"Can this also save meow?"

The cat boss was lying on Bianca's lap, already dumbfounded.

It feels like Lan Qi has already worn everything out.

He tried so hard.

on stage.

"Lan Qi, fortunately I have you."

Thalia secretly held Lan Qi's little finger and whispered to him happily.

"Thanks to you too."

Lanci looked at Thalia and smiled tiredly.

Thalia also came to the rescue today, and successfully overcoming the difficulties was not due to his own efforts.

They have always been the most incompatible partners.

But at the last moment, they must be the most tacit partners, able to complement each other.

"Then this is all over, right?"

Thalia asked Ranchi.

Tomorrow, Xiubao and Lan Qi will be able to perform all the content they rehearsed, instead of the improvised opera that he and Lan Qi just rushed to put on the shelves today.

Her work has come to an end, and next time she can sit in the audience and enjoy it.

Likewise, Talia could tell that Ranchi had reached his limit, that he was probably really tired and would fall asleep when he lay down.

"yes."

Lan Qi nodded happily.

His real vacation was coming too.

His journey, his mission, his work, everything came to a successful conclusion immediately.

The applause continued one after another in the opera hall, and some audience members stood up from their seats, shouted praises to the actors who took the curtain call on the stage, and paid their highest respect.

People gathered in small groups throughout the auditorium, enthusiastically discussing the uniqueness of the male and female protagonists and their natural singing voices, marveling at the ingenuity of the stage settings and lighting, and savoring the profound meaning behind the ups and downs of the plot.

Audiences from different places expressed their feelings and exchanged their experiences of appreciating opera.

Some citizens of Ikerite were recalling the most impressive passages and arias as soon as the curtain ended, with intoxicated and satisfied smiles on their faces. Others could not wait to share this wonderful experience and told their relatives and friends about their views. After experiencing it, invite them to come and enjoy it together next time.

The entire hall of the Icerite Opera House was immersed in the afterglow of opera.

People in the audience either stood up and prepared to leave, or were still applauding and marveling in the aftermath.

After the curtain call, the actors were still on stage greeting the audience, and the musicians were still arranging the music scores and instruments.

In a festive atmosphere.

No one noticed the VIP seats in the front row.

A figure with gray hair and golden eyes had a smile on his lips.

There was an insignificant little insect on her fingertips.

【Friendship Long Live Bug】

[Category: Alchemy Beast]

[Grade: blue precious]

[Level: 1]

[Effect: Can learn to hear the target's voice, and then speak according to the summoner's thoughts. 】

[Note: You can’t speak, let me speak for you]

She propped up her cheek with one hand, her eyes full of teasing, and she had already let more bugs land on the shoulders of the media reporters she had already identified.

Back in the Devil's Examination Hall, Lan Qi used the friendship bug to drive a wedge between the two examiners, making them confide in each other.

This simple alchemy beast that Lan Qi could make in the early days is even easier for her to make, because its function is only to secretly send messages, and it is the weakest alchemy beast.

She would definitely not sabotage Xubao and Tata's opera.

But she knew what Lan Qi was doing today.

At this moment, these friendly long live insects have floated to the media reporters, conveying her a message that is enough to make the media people crazy -

[Emperor Creation is suspected of dating many women in the box upstairs. 】

"Lan Qi, do you know what real despair is? Just like I couldn't escape that day, and I couldn't die. I could only be spanked."

When he is only one step away from success, or when he thinks he has succeeded, it is undoubtedly the time when he is most relaxed.

Do you really think I will let you go?

The corners of Lanfu's mouth twitched slightly and she laughed.

Just teasing you.

"Show me your struggle, my lord."

While the audience was still immersed in the aftertaste of the opera, reporters who were still filming the troupe's closing ceremony and preparing to interview the director and leading actors slowly stopped moving.

then.

They looked at each other at their other media colleagues in the distance.

The reaction of their colleagues also made them more convinced.

An incredible news spread inside the theater.

The source of the news was unknown, let alone who was telling them, but it spread throughout the entire auditorium in the blink of an eye.

"Loren is at the opera house today?"

"I heard it's in the VIP box?"

The audience gradually heard this incredible rumor amidst the commotion, and the atmosphere in the theater immediately became subtle.

Everyone craned their necks and searched with eyes, hoping to catch a glimpse of the legendary Emperor Creation.

"He's even dating multiple women?"

"Hey, I think I really saw the God of War! The God of War is here, which means Loren is probably there too."

"Let me just say that when he returns to the Kingdom of Hutton this time, he is going to take his princess back to the Crean Empire!"

Whispers in twos and threes came and went, all asking about the gossip about Loren's time in Icerita.

Despite doubts about the veracity of the intelligence, it seems that many reporters are more interested in Loren, who may be hiding in the opera house.

Not only media people, but also ordinary people have gradually shifted their interest from the stage to possible big news.

"Is this called a date? Is this called a scandal? What happened to how many concubines the Holy Emperor married? This is serious international news!"

Reporter Luvihill from Icerite College was even more excited. He stood up from his seat and argued with the audience in the back row.

“…”

On the stage, Lan Qi, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was keenly aware of the strange commotion in the audience.

At first he thought it was a fire safety issue that aroused the audience's concern, but he soon realized that it was not that simple.

The whispers in the audience and the probing eyes of reporters all indicated that something unusual was happening.

When he closed his eyes and listened to the specific voices of the people in the noise, the calm corners of his eyes began to tremble.

"Loren?"

For a moment, he felt confused and flustered.

Impossible.

How did the reporters know that Loren was at the opera house?

It stands to reason that only a few people in the single digits would know that Loren was at the opera house today...

Lan Qi racked his brains trying to figure out what was going on, until he met the charming smile of a woman with gray hair and golden eyes in the audience in the distance.

It was a look that wanted to eat him alive.

She also made no secret of the fact that "she did it."

"Lanfu..."

If the Great Love Poet was on Thalia all day today.

Then she really should know Loren's whereabouts.

But why do I love poets...

Aren't they best friends? It should always be.

"Lan Qi, what's wrong with you?"

Thalia called Lan Qi worriedly. She felt that Lan Qi was particularly helpless now.

"Tata..."

Just when Lan Qi was surprised, he saw Thalia next to him, and he was startled and slowly remembered that stormy night in the Creja Empire.

He used Lanfu as a tool to protect Thalia and used the trick of "castling the king's car".

Perhaps it was at that time that it caused indelible psychological pain to Lan Fu.

"So it turns out that everything is wrong and everyone has an owner?"

Lan Qi's originally puzzled eyes gradually became relieved at this moment, and he slowly lowered his eyebrows.

Every cause must have an effect.

If you commit too many sins, you will eventually be punished.

Today he was paying off Loren's debt.

But in fact he still owes a debt to the great poet.

All the inappropriate things he did in the past, all the things he did when he didn't realize it, may come back.

This is why Xiubao always reminds him to care about merit.

If all the media's attention shifts from the drama to the emperor, things will be difficult.

He knew that once the emperor's whereabouts were exposed, it would surely trigger an unprecedented media storm.

It is impossible for Loren to leave smoothly with the three women, and he will be troubled by the scandal again.

After experiencing Professor Landry's scandal in the Creage Empire, Lan Qi also understood how troubled Loren was at Icerite College.

Thinking of this, Lan Qi made up his mind to help Loren get away safely.

The only way is to attract all the media's attention.

That would inevitably lead to bigger news.

The reaction of the media and the audience was faster than Lan Qi expected. At this moment, the audience was in chaos. People's eyes wandered back and forth between the stage and the auditorium, searching for the important target.

The backstage staff were busy adjusting the lighting and sound, and called on the audience to wait to leave in an orderly manner. Coordinators came into the performance hall from outside to provide support, but there was no time to stop these chaotic rumors.

There is not much time left for him.

Lan Qi took a deep breath.

If Loren can be saved, then so be it.

He strode off the stage with a clear purpose and headed towards the VIP seats in the front row of the audience.

Lan Qi struggled in his heart and looked at a figure in the front row of the audience.

"Eh?"

Ifatiya looked at Lan Qi walking straight towards him in surprise, not knowing what he was going to do.

Why did brother come down from the stage to look for her at this time?

Before anyone could react, Lan Qi had already arrived in front of a woman, knelt down on one knee, and looked into her eyes affectionately and intently.

"Madam, would you like to have dinner with me tonight."

Lan Qi knelt down elegantly in front of Miniel, took her white hand, and asked her.

Mignel was struck by lightning.

The noisy main performance hall suddenly became quiet, and many spectators looked at what was happening in the direction of the stage.

What followed was an explosive uproar, and many people were stunned for a while.

No one expected that the leading actor of this opera would do such a thing at the critical moment.

"Holy shit, this is a married woman, right? She seems to have a ring on her finger."

"So it turns out that the leading actor is interested in her?"

"But she is so beautiful. Which noble lady is she from?"

The reporters immediately exploded. Photographic equipment, such as long guns and short cannons, were all aimed at the two people. The shutter sound came one after another, for fear of missing any exciting moment.

Immediately afterwards, cheers and whistles resounded throughout the theater like a roaring tsunami.

The audience was whispering excitedly, and everyone's face was filled with the joy of gossip.

Some people began to shout "yes" to him, while others speculated whether this was a carefully planned invitation.

The sound of piano playing also sounded in the performance hall, as if trying to match the atmosphere of the surprise confession.

Togliado played a cheerful tune that seemed to say "Today you will marry me."

This caused the atmosphere in the performance hall to explode instantly.

After such a large-scale performance, an open invitation from the venue is considered high-profile under any circumstances.

An invitation on Valentine's Day is something else.

Such a public and high-profile display of love is not an exaggeration to call it a marriage proposal.

The black-haired aristocratic woman in the center of the whirlpool opened her eyes wide in surprise, and even her friends around her were dumbfounded.

"This, this..."

The dark-haired aristocratic woman's eyes dodge.

She was so panicked that she wanted to pull her hand back.

But then I thought about it—why Lanqi came to find her instead of Hyperion or Thalia or Sigrid.

Lan Qi has obviously figured out her secret, and choosing her, an impossible person, is undoubtedly the best and most topical option.

And there must be a reason why Lan Qi would do this. It was obviously to help draw Loren's attention away.

All of them originally owed Loren.

This time.

It is reasonable to repay Loren's debt.

After some mental struggle.

"I, I promise."

Miniel lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said these words.
