A loud howl echoed through the air above the inferno of the human realm, as a dark blue shadow swept by, stirring up gusts of wind that rippled across the pools of blood below.
The Azure Wind Antelope flew in from outside, circling above Jufeng, while beneath him was a sea of people.
At the far end of his gaze stood five stunning figures on stage, as the concert was nearing its end. Sister Five bowed to the audience in gratitude.
She wore a knee-length red leather skirt with scarlet tassels at the hem, and a vibrant red Tang-style leather jacket on top, resembling a bride waiting for her groom.
But where was the groom? Jufeng gazed into the distance and leaped down from several dozen meters high.
The circling Azure Wind Antelope let out a fierce cry, following Jufeng's figure into the void.
...
The concert concluded, yet Sister Dai felt somewhat disheartened.
It wasn't that the concert had been lacking; in fact, today's performance could undoubtedly be deemed classic. The production team, the audience, and Sister Five's influence were all well represented and validated during this event. What truly weighed heavily on Lu Qijia's heart was—
—The concert had ended, but why hadn't he come to fulfill his promise?
She kept looking down; the crowd surged like a tide, and the lights shimmered like an ocean. No matter how she searched, she couldn't find Jufeng's figure. She felt sad—truly sad. She comforted herself countless times in her heart, telling herself that Jufeng must have been delayed by something important. He was so busy, not only managing a large company but also taking care of his brothers who fought alongside him; she shouldn't ask for too much.
She told herself she shouldn't demand too much. Yet the more she tried to reassure herself, the heavier her disappointment grew. She knew she shouldn't be a greedy girl; she had already received Jufeng's love—what more could she ask for? It didn't matter if they couldn't be together every day as long as their love was sincere.
However, he had promised her!
Lu Qijia felt conflicted, unsure of what thoughts were appropriate. Distractedly, she joined her sisters in thanking the audience, bending down to bow.
Suddenly, just as Sister Five bent down as well, the once jubilant venue erupted into waves of gasps. It started with a portion of the crowd and gradually built up until it became an uproar throughout the entire hall.
It was as if something strange from "Strange Tales of the Square Night" had appeared.
Sister Five stood up straight to see what was happening, noticing that all the spectators were gazing at the night sky.
So, she and the others followed suit and looked up.
In the inky darkness of the night, it was so clear that even starlight was hard to see, but gradually, it seemed as if something was approaching.
Sister Five squinted her eyes, eager to see more clearly.
It started as a tiny dot, then transformed into a leaf-like shape, followed by a round moon, and finally morphed into a human figure.
It was a person flying from afar, grasping the sharp claw of a divine eagle with their right hand. Their hair danced in the wind, their garments fluttered, and they moved gracefully.
"How cool!" Mei Liuxiao exclaimed involuntarily.
As the figure descended from the sky, just a few meters above the stage, they suddenly released their grip on the Azure Wind Antelope's claw and landed on the stage.
It was like a scene from an action movie, reminiscent of heroes descending in critical moments.
They were indeed impressive! Whispers erupted among the audience.
Once on stage, the figure's face became clearer.
The newcomer slowly approached Sister Five with light steps and a warm smile. It turned out that all five sisters on stage were so familiar with them.
Mei gasped in surprise and was about to shout loudly when she was pulled aside by Second Sister.
Second Sister, Eldest Sister, Sister Four, and Mei, who had been forcibly taken away, instinctively took a step back. Naturally, Sister Dai found herself standing in front of the four.
A figure approached Sister Dai, and Lu Qijia suddenly raised her hands to cover her mouth, tears shimmering in her eyes.
"Wow!" The audience below seemed to understand something, erupting into fervent discussions. Even the previously stunning performances paled in comparison to the current intrigue.
The newcomer stood before Lu Qijia, smiling warmly yet with a hint of apology.
"I'm sorry I'm late."
Lu Qijia covered her mouth, and the tears she had been holding back finally fell freely. She shook her head vigorously, trying to find words of comfort, but found herself unable to make a sound as emotions overwhelmed her.
On stage, the two faced each other, and the audience fell silent, transitioning from a cacophony to utter stillness in an instant. They all strained to listen, hoping to catch something. Those in the front row even left their seats, crowding near the steps of the stage, straining their ears.
Yet despite their efforts, they heard nothing. Ultimately, they settled for watching the two closely. Actions often reveal much more than words, and many pointed their phones at the pair on stage.
Indeed, they did not disappoint the audience.
The man slowly pulled out a piece of jewelry from his pocket; from afar it was indistinct, but up close it resembled a key-like metallic object.
He took it out and knelt on one knee, holding the ornament aloft while gazing deeply into Lu Qijia's eyes.
The audience erupted once more; this gesture carried immense significance—so much so that they struggled to process it. They had come for concert tickets, only to find themselves witnessing a proposal.
In the next moment, all eyes were on Lu Qijia. They couldn't hear what the man was saying clearly, but her reaction spoke volumes.
They eagerly awaited her response, even more impatient than the man on stage.
...
Jufeng looked at Lu Qijia as he knelt on one knee, holding the key-shaped ornament before him.
"Last year by the lake at Huan City University, I gave you this key once. At that time, it was just the two of us. This is a gift from my mother to her future daughter-in-law, and you naively agreed without a second thought."
"Today, I take this key out once more, in front of tens of thousands of people, and I ask Sister Lu Qijia to answer me seriously."
"Will you be my wife?"
Tears streamed down Lu Qijia's face uncontrollably, blurring her vision and melting her heart even further.
Scenes from the past gradually flashed before her eyes. From their first meeting, when he single-handedly subdued five thugs, to the press conference in the capital where he saved her again and ended up in the hospital for it. In all the days they had spent together, he had always tenderly cared for her, tolerated her, spoiled her, and loved her. This question didn't even need to be considered; it didn't require an answer, nor should it have been asked.
"I do! I do! I am willing!"
Lu Qijia opened her palms and nearly shouted out her answer, disregarding that they were on stage with tens of thousands of eyes watching. She opened her arms and embraced Jufeng without hesitation. She didn't want to part from him; she wished to hold him like this forever.
With that embrace, Lu Qijia gave Jufeng an answer and provided the audience with one as well.
Suddenly, fireworks erupted from the back of the stage, dazzling and illuminating half the sky. The other four sisters from Sister Five also had tears in their eyes and began to clap their hands in unison. Below the stage, the audience followed suit with thunderous applause.
The applause of tens of thousands transformed into blessings for the two people at the center of the stage.
In a corner, Vera and Lance continued to watch the stage, waiting for an answer. However, from the moment Jufeng appeared, they already knew what the answer was.
Vera's usual cold demeanor softened as she gently smoothed her plush hair. Lance burst into hearty laughter a couple of times, adding two "not bad" remarks.
Just then, the lights on stage suddenly dimmed, leaving only the fireworks to narrate the beauty of the night.
As the concert came to a close, the audience slowly left, still lingering in their enjoyment.
The headlines were all about the concert and the unparalleled proposal.
However, what they did not know was that the dimmed lights were merely a disguise.
After Jufeng received Lu Qijia's answer, he fainted in Lu Qijia's embrace.
The fireworks were beautiful, yet he would never witness them. He had held on for too long; fatigue washed over his heart like a tide, and he could no longer resist.
Fortunately, falling into his lover's arms felt comfortable, warm, and reassuring.
Everything was worth it!
