Chapter 274: Stay Away from Me

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xu Man’s concert was held at the Red Gallery Stadium and this concert was the largest one she had held within her short lifespan. If history was going to repeat itself again, this was without a doubt her last time shining on the stage.

Li Yi waited for his ticket which was in the hands of one of the Iron Alliance’s masterminds, which would seat him at the very first row in the hall. People sitting in this row would be able to greet the superstar Xu Man face to face. One had to understand that this kind of seat could not be bought with money.

It did not matter if one was rich as in order to ensure the superstar was safe, the guests from the first row were all cherry picked from a list. Then it would be discussed with the organizer and superstar before distributing the tickets.

“I thought we would be sitting at the back. I didn’t expect this at all.” Confused Fox was extremely excited as he sat anxiously while rubbing his chin. He did not look like a fox but more like a monkey.

“Behave yourselves. The people who are able to sit here are authoritative figures and we must not embarrass Party Leader Lil Man. “Chen Yang was dressed in a black suit and had a pair of super wide sunglass on his face. Those who sat near him did not dare to make eye contact with him.

He looked like a savage with his ugly and ferocious look. No one would believe it if he said that he was not a gangster.

“It’s unfortunate that lady Jiaojiao isn’t coming here tonight.” Chen Yang patted the empty seat beside Li Yi and glanced at him.

Li Yi squinted and scoffed him off. “Alright let’s get seated, the concert is about to start.”

People gradually filled up the stadium and the fans started to scream about here and there. It was extremely noisy.

The Red Gallery stadium had a long history and many celebrities regarded it as an honor to be able to hold their concerts here. However, since the qualification to hold a concert here was extremely strict, only the greatest superstars were qualified to do so.

The lights dimmed down as music was played. The crowd below the stage cheered as tens of thousands of people held their breath as they stared at the stage excitedly.

“Boom!”

A stunning display of fireworks filled the skies and the crowd cheered as the superstar Xu Man slowly descended onto the stage.

“Xu Man! Xu Man! Xu Man!”

Tens of thousands of people started swinging their glowsticks and their cheers trembled the stadium. The atmosphere had totally stunned Li Yi and his friends.

Xu Man was inside a full body silver-white dress. She placed a finger on her lips and hushed gently for the crowd to quiet down.

As the beautiful melody started playing, the first performance was Xu Man’s famous song, Mermaid Princess.

Xu Man’s fans were in awe as her voice had pierced directly through their souls. Although the song Mermaid Princess had been released for a long time, the vibe Xu Man gave was extremely contagious. The crowd had started waving their glowsticks rhythmically as she was halfway through her song.

“I love you Xu Man. I love you Xu Man!”

Chen Yang the fatty was the most excited person among the group Li Yi had brought along. He kept waving his glowstick as he screamed till his voice broke. As he was a guest on the first row and was extremely close to Xu Man, his voice was amplified by the microphone and everyone in the stadium could hear his voice.

Many agitated fans ran towards Chen Yang in hope to take him out but all of them withdrew back to their seats the moment they saw Chen Yang. He looked so fierce that he would strike fear in anyone around him

Xu Man rubbed her chin mischievously and looked around as she finished her first song. “For my next song, I would love to have someone to sing together with me. Hmm, who should I pick?”

“Pick me, pick me...”

“Pick me Man Man. Pick me...”

“Man Man Man Man...”

The fans below the stage went wild.

“I love you the most. Pick me my dear Man Man!” Chen Yang stood up and shouted with his husky voice and the entire stadium became silent for 5 seconds.

Confused Fox pushed Chen Yang back to his seat. “Can you behave yourself? You’re a VIP sitting in the first row. You’re not an ordinary fan.”

“Don’t tell anybody that you know me.” Li Yi covered his face as he nudged fatty.

Then, Xu Man broke the silence and said happily. “Then I’ll choose a number randomly to call on stage.”

“Come on up number 107!”

“107? Who’s number 107?”

“Who’s 107? I’ll buy your place for 100,000!”

“Who cares about 100,000 bucks, I’m willing to offer 1,000,000 bucks.”

The crowd went wild.

Li Yi stared at the ticket in his hand dumbfounded because his number was 107.

“Come on stage number 107 so that you can sing together with Man Man.” Xu Man stared at Li Yi as she screamed with a hint of a smile on her face.

It was then that Li Yi understood that it was all a setup. He was not chosen by random.

Li Yi stood up, adjusted his attire before walking towards Xu Man.

“This lucky bastard...” Chen Yang was beyond frustrated.

Li Yi went on stage and shook Xu Man’s hand gently. He did not pull any indistinct gesture at all. Instead, Xu Man stunned him by discreetly tickling his palm.

The superstar had pranked him on her own accord. Would anyone believe him at all?

“Can you let everyone know your honored name?” Xu Man winked at Li Yi.

“Li Yi.”

“Can you say it louder? I can’t hear you.” Xu Man leaned her ears to the side as she smiled.

“Li Yi!”

“I can’t hear you.”

“Hahahaha...” The crowd laughed as everyone could see that she was teasing him on purpose.

Li Yi shrugged as he walked forward and snatched Xu man’s microphone from her hand and screamed. “I am the husband of Platinum Hand’s party leader. My name is Li Yi.” Li Yi’s bluntness had shocked everyone.

“Ahem...” Xu Man let out a cough as she almost fainted from his proclamation.

“Let’s start our duet. Have you heard of the song Stay Away from Me?” Xu Man blushed.

“Yes.”

A staff passed a microphone to Li Yi and the music started playing.

Li Yi raised his head up high and howled. “Stay away from me, don’t come any closer, don’t you don’t you don’t you don’t you come closer to me...”

Xu Man was stunned beyond words and the same could be said to the fans below the stage. Even Chen Yang who was the living savage was so stunned that his sunglass had fallen to the ground.

It was the most authentic and traditional singing method to howl.

Xu Man’s pure and gentle voice was not able to keep up with Li Yi at all as his voice was too wild. It was so powerful that the fans did not know how to react at all.

“Let’s wave our glowsticks to show support to our brave Li Yi.”

The fans started acting as Xu Man spoke. The glowsticks moved in unison to Li Yi’s cry.

He had forcefully sung a piece of soft melodious music with his wild voice, which was something only he could achieve...

Li Yi went down the stage as he finished singing and Chen Yang started crying the moment he saw him.

“What’s wrong brother?”

“Your song was so cool that I’ve stomped my cool-looking sunglasses to pieces.”

“...”

The concert continued on with Xu Man changing her clothes every three songs. Meanwhile, Li Yi was counting in his mind as he watched the performance.

In the past life, Xu Man had jumped off the building at the backstage midway through the concert. This had struck the fans with incredible grief. No one knew exactly why she had jumped off the building. The cause was unknown, the investigation came out fruitless and hence the truth was buried along with her death.

As the time approached, Li Yi stood up and left his seat quietly...

The concert soon reached the end of its first-half performance. At this time, the superstars and good friends that were invited by Xu Man were performing on stage as she went to the backstage to rest.

Li Yi had already made preparation beforehand as he had already crossed into the backstage.

All he did was forge a Red Gallery Stadium staff pass. Who would dare to inspect him since he was also a VIP?

Xu Man was still singing on stage as Li Yi entered. Li Yi sighed in relief as he found out that the changing room was empty. Then, he made himself comfortable inside a cabinet as he hid in there.

As Xu Man had jumped out of the window from this very changing room in the past life, he wanted to stop her before it was too late in this life!

Li Yi patiently waited and before long, he heard Xu Man’s voice. “Come on in guys.”

Xu Man came in and the people who followed behind her was the entire party members of Platinum Hand.

“Didn’t you guys always want to know who I am? I’ll now announce that I’m no other than Lil Man. So, who managed to guess it?” Xu Man gestured a peace sign towards the Platinum Hand members as she smiled satisfactorily.

Infinite Insanity and Mad Dragon were both flabbergasted. There were at least half of the Platinum Hand’s members that did not manage to guess her identity.

It was common for celebrities to play games but there was only a handful of them who had the time to form a party and play at such a high level. Who would have believed her if they did not witness it with their very eyes?

“I found out ages ago but I didn’t inform you guys.” Ye Yingbing said gleefully but everyone was angered by her words.

Xu Man smirked. “Please note that this is our little secret and I hope that you don’t spread it out.”

“We won’t.” Everyone promised in unison.

“That’s great. Hehe. All of you should leave for now except Lil Ice as I need to change my clothes for the next performance. I’ll treat you guys to a feast when the concert is over.”

The rest of the Platinum Hand members left the changing room. Lil Ice was the only one left behind as she needed to help Xu Man change her clothes.

Li Yi saw everything through the cabinet’s gap. He saw Xu Man changing her clothes. However, he was a gentleman and such unethical peeking behavior was unacceptable to him. So... He decided to widen the gap to see everything in a clearer view.

What would happen next? Perhaps Ye Yingbing was the one who pushed her to her death?

Li Yi could not see any fault in this as nothing was out of place. There was not a single sign of a turn of event.

As Xu Man had just finished changing her clothes, the door burst open as a thin man entered the room, scaring the two ladies.

“I thought I’ve locked the door...” Ye Yingbing was stunned.

“This is the changing room Brother Li and you’re not allowed to enter here even if you’re the organizer. Please leave at once!”

Xu Man was not the only person in the room who knew this thin man as Li Yi recognized him as well.

This thin man was not just anybody, he was the highest level player in the King of Pantheon in the past life, Old Li Flying Dagger.

Was he the culprit who forced Xu Man to jump to her death? Li Yi widened the cabinet’s gap further as he was prepared to dash out in a moment’s notice.

Old Li Flying Dagger’s real name was Li Fei, who was also the main sponsor of this concert!

“Get out!” Old Li Flying Dagger demanded as he pointed at Ye Yingbing.

“Don’t listen to him.” Xu Man screamed as she pulled Ye Yingbing’s hand.

“Don’t worry, I mean no harm to you. I just wish to discuss some work-related stuff with Lil Man.” Old Li Flying Dagger spoke as he pulled a chair to sit down.

“I’ll take my leave so that you two can talk.” Ye Yingbing gave Xu Man a nod before she left the room hastily...
