Chapter 530: 514 sings so well, let’s have Moonlight

"Moon paused beneath the clouds, by a pine hall glazed with amber light..."

Suddenly, a clear and melodious female voice filled the live stream.

"Huh?! Did she just start singing? I haven’t even seen her yet!"

"She’s singing a cappella? Sounds so good."

"Definitely autotuned. Now they can add reverb live too."

"It’s obviously without reverb, though!"

"This song! It’s Sister Dong’s ’Asking the Sword’!! Sounds amazing! And super hard to sing, too!"

"Guess only uncles and aunties would know this song? I got into the ancient-style music because of it."

"A bit of info, this song has many vocal runs in its chorus, and many people unconsciously switch between natural and falsetto when going for the high notes, which is quite apparent."

"Barely anyone can finish it in full voice. Got to say, the ancient-style music scene used to be filled with top-notch talents! I really had it good back then."

"If a newcomer dares to choose this song, they must be somewhat skilled; otherwise, they’d be embarrassed if they mess up during the live stream."

Amidst a flood of comments, the woman’s voice slowly progressed to the chorus.

"Red sleeves, tainted with the fickleness of bloodshed, hands that once wiped away tears now long for the companionship of our old swords..."

"The Ukiyo-e unfolds, its purity cleansing ripples free of seduction, unabashed by the full garden’s fragrance..."

Her voice was moving, particularly in its treatment of details. Her breaths were so quick and light that one could hardly notice when she paused—if you didn’t listen carefully, when had she taken a breath?

"Damn, she managed to sing that line in ’Ukiyo-e’ which has huge fluctuations. I almost passed out trying to sing it at KTV; how did she do the whole line?"

"She has that much breath control? I didn’t hear her take a breath!"

"With that lung capacity and those high notes, I think she could try singing ’Moonlight’!"

"Hahaha, ’Moonlight’ might be a bit of a challenge for miss."

"Moonlight hahaha! Old Hu didn’t know any better when writing songs back in his youth, chock-full of high notes. I’ve heard he’s got a concert coming up; what if he crashes and burns?"

"No worries, he’ll hand the mic to the audience when he can’t reach the notes."

"I’m dying of laughter hahaha!"

The topic veered off slightly, but amidst the lighthearted banter, everyone remembered the singing girl.

A cappella, picking a song full of vocal runs, and in a live stream too.

Got to admit, someone without real skill wouldn’t dare to do this!

Especially when she reached the second half of the piece, she held a small microphone and slowly came into frame.

Her jet-black hair draped over her shoulders, making her delicate face seem even more pure and graceful.

With her pink lips slightly parted, wonderful notes flowed effortlessly from her throat.

It was a huge pleasure, both visually and auditorily.

Seemingly to reassure the audience that she wasn’t auto-tuned or produced, she even swapped microphones with the host during the second chorus.

Holding the tiny, black mic, she effortlessly finished singing the entire song.

As the final note echoed through the live stream, she smiled slightly and said, "Hello friends in the audience, I am Xingyue’s newly signed artist, Xu Mengjie. You can call me Mengjie~"

The comments went along with her.

"Such a beautiful girl."

"Sister, your singing is so nice, muah~"

"She looks so innocent! She’s the kind of girl my mom likes."

"Don’t tell your mom, but I like her too."

"Though one song can’t represent her full talent, she sounds already so much better than those who just auto-tune."

Xu Mengjie looked at the comments, smiling slightly, "I just saw someone asking me to sing ’Moonlight’?"

"Hahaha yes, miss, don’t be fooled by them. That song is beyond even Old Hu himself now."
