Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

The few times I met Odney before, they were always together with other singers, and the two of them didn't have a good time to reminisce about the past. It was rare that they were alone together this time, and the conversation tended to be light-hearted and nostalgic.

"Speaking of which, I'm curious, is Odni's hair naturally white?" Tilan was curious.

"Ah, this is indeed true." Upon hearing this, Odney stretched her hands behind her head, pulled up her hair, and coiled it in front of her.

"It seems that due to the inheritance of the Honghu lineage, starting from a certain generation of ancestors, the hair color became like this."

"It is indeed rare to be born with snow hair. Among other races, only ice elves have it."

"If you look carefully, there are differences. The ice elf's hair has a faint silvery white color, while our Honghu lineage is relatively pure." Odni smoothed her hair carefully so that Tilan could get a closer look.

After touching Odni's hair, it seemed to feel very good. Tilan put it down after a while, and then the two of them talked about the conditions of each of the Five Phoenixes.

"As far as I know, the only inheritance of Qingluan's lineage is Tilan's."

"Our Honghu lineage, my main lineage has some assets in the Feiyu star field, and its development is acceptable, but it can't be called prominent. It is just an intermediate-level faction. The other branches are also distributed in some galaxies, and they will appear every ten years. Get together once and interact with each other.”

"The inheritance of the Quanbo lineage is relatively prosperous, but their style is very different from other lines. It is more like some kind of enterprise with similar spiritual pursuits, such as 'Xiangshu Workshop', 'Moyun Workshop' and 'Huilu' Tiangong, Xuanming Dragon Boat, etc., these are manufacturing companies with high reputations in various fields. If they hadn't occasionally held some publicity activities, you would feel that they had long forgotten that they were the successors of the Quanbo lineage. "

"There are still very few people in the Yuanhui lineage. There is currently no specialized faction. A small number of them are said to have been absorbed by the Tribunal and become one of its institutional departments."

"The most prosperous one at present is still the Red Phoenix lineage." Odni said slowly.

"In many star fields in the eastern part of the Federation, especially in places where Easterners gather, you can see hanging red phoenix lanterns and Zhanfeng Duo with fire phoenix patterns."

"In communities where Easterners gather, there are often shrines dedicated to phoenixes. Among them are not only the name of Jun Caihua of the Seven Brilliant True Flames, the portrait of the Phoenix of Five Virtues, but also the portrait of His Royal Highness Canglan Phoenix. , which is what everyone often calls the third generation Phoenix."

"There is currently no clear leader for each branch of the Five Phoenixes. It is a relatively broad concept. If you think you are, that is, if you don't think so, others will not force it. That's probably it." Odni said a lot in one breath.

"So that's how it is..." Tilan turned her head and thought about it, feeling a little surprised, but she also thought it was quite reasonable. After all, it has been nearly ten thousand years since the Third Era, and there are still people who can remember it. It is no longer easy to ask for peace. Such admiration in ancient society is really out of date.

The two talked a lot about the inheritance of the Five Phoenixes, and then Odni proposed that she want to practice sword fighting with Tilan.

"I've watched the video of Tilan's game, and I know she's very strong." Odni said she was aware of the strength gap.

"It's not to win, I just want to practice. I haven't fought with anyone for a long time, and I hope Tilan can give me some guidance." Tilan could feel Odni's eagerness to try.

After getting to know herself gradually, this eldest lady of the Honghu lineage no longer pretended to be a lady, and began to slowly move closer to the image of Feng Jianxue in her memory.

"No problem." After saying that, Tilan and Odney stood up, and then they went to the fourth underground floor of the mansion. There was an open competition venue, and protective barriers were arranged around it to avoid damaging the building.

Under the curious and expectant eyes of the maids, the two walked into the competition venue. At this time, Odney put on a light white dress, and Tilan wore the same style.

"Let me prepare first, don't let me leave as soon as I come up." After Odni and Tilan stood at each other, the other said a little coquettishly. She had seen Tilan kill instantly with a sword.

"Okay." Tilan felt funny. It seemed that Odni was really not confident.

Seeing Tilan's promise, Odni also felt relieved and prepared. She slowly pulled out the long white sword. Lights up on the blade.

After that, Odni began to dance her sword slowly. It was more like some kind of sacrificial sword dance than fighting, just like what Gu Yongrong showed back then.

The sleeves and sword blade were swaying like water, like fish dancing slowly in the water. As Odney performed her sword dance, her aura became more and more hazy, and the underground battlefield was gradually filled with water vapor.

In ancient times, this would have been a dance to pray for rain, Tilan thought to herself.

Wind blessing, fire blessing, rain blessing, and mountain blessing, among the four blessings, there are more "Yu Zhu" and "Rain Master" in the Honghu line, which are also the most needed in sacrificial activities.

However, just when Tilan was distracted and thinking, a hazy figure vaguely formed from behind her, and then stabbed out with a sword, silently and invisible, like water mist.

Ding, the crisp sound of sword clashing sounded on the battlefield.

When the sword blade stabbed out, Tilan's body turned around, the silver sword blade twisted and collided with the thrust out sword blade. Then water splashed, Odni's figure emerged, and the figure who was dancing the sword on the opposite side also appeared. Gradually dissipate.

Seeing that the blow failed, Odni no longer hid, but the sword was like a shower of rain. The fluorescent white sword blade in her hand flickered in and out of the mist, becoming heavier and lighter, tilting down.

At this time, Tilan also became serious. The two of them kept crossing each other back and forth underground, sometimes crossing each other in the air, and sometimes they collided like a flash of light. The broken sword arc and cold light cut open the previously diffuse water mist, and then continued to close it. .

Watching the fierce battle between the two, the maids watching from the sidelines could not take their eyes away, their eyes full of excitement.

"It's really beautiful." A maid whispered.

"Master Tilan is still so touching."

"This will decide the winner."

In the air, Tilan and Odni fought again and dispersed from each other. At this time, Tiran took out the sword in her hand and went straight towards Odni like cold light, while Odni Almost at the same time, the figure turned around, closing like a water lotus. The figure briefly disappeared in mid-air, allowing the blade to pass through, and then reappeared, attacking Tilan again.

Facing the empty-handed Tilan, Odni had some hope, thinking that she would win a small victory today, but the black-haired girl opposite just smiled at her, and then waved her fingers lightly, sending out several sharp cold blows. The wind blew past Odney's ears, bringing up severed hair and blood stains.

The Legend of Blue Bird: The Ten Thousand Transformations and Thousand Winds Sword.

The slightest coolness on her neck forced Odney to stop, and then she slowly fell to the ground. When she touched her neck, she saw traces of blood.

"I lost." She shook her head, not too depressed.

Afterwards, Tilan also came down and asked the maids to bring towels to wipe Odni's blood and then help her heal her injuries.

After that, the two returned to the upper room of the mansion.

"Did Tilan use swordsmanship from the Qingluan lineage just now?" Odni asked curiously.

"That's right." Tilan introduced Odni.

"This set of swordsmanship." Odney recalled the records at home.

"It is said that it was created by the famous swordsman 'Sudeng Lou' back then. It is said that he was defeated by that highness and then spent several years thinking about the battle, and then based on that highness's style, he created This set of swordsmanship.”

"Although it is not very powerful, it is extremely flexible, changeable, and very stealthy. It is known as one of the most difficult sword techniques in the Sword Cleansing Palace."

"It's a pity that practicing this set of swordsmanship requires extremely high talent. In addition, the power is indeed not as powerful as other sets of swordsmanship with the same difficulty, so not many people learn it."

"How long did it take Tilan to learn?"

"It took a lot of time. It can be said that it took the most time among the swordsmanship I learned." Tilan answered modestly. She originally wanted to say 2 months, but considering that it was too exciting.

"No wonder, it's not a loss if you lose this way." After hearing that it was indeed this sword technique, Odni felt relieved and less anxious.

In fact, there are equally powerful swordsmanship and secret techniques in Honghu's lineage, but she currently has no time and energy to practice, so it is normal that she cannot keep up.

“I’ll have to work harder from now on.”

Odney said this to herself, and then the two of them had a small gathering until the afternoon, before Odney went back.

…

At night, another corner of the city.

‘Shan’ was walking alone on a deserted street, with almost no pedestrians on the road.

The reason why he came out so late was not because he had any special hobbies, but because he had just finished tonight's freshman party. He wanted to save some money and didn't order a hover car. He wanted to take a walk at night to wake up and then go back.

‘I didn’t expect there to be such a deserted place in Central District 5. ’ He whispered to himself, and then looked at the map. It was still far away from the school and it would take an hour to arrive.

There are no classes tomorrow anyway, so he will pretend to be familiar with the living environment now. He put his hands in his coat pockets and glanced at the tall buildings not far away. The flashing signs were obvious even at night.

‘They are all big companies. It would be great if I could join them in the future. ’ Muttering to himself, Shan walked slowly and unhurriedly, occasionally seeing trucks passing by on the street.

Jialan's jacket blended in with the environment in the night. He wore black denim trousers and ordinary spring sneakers. Apart from his personal terminal, he had no other electronic devices. From the appearance alone, Shan had nothing to stand out about, just like ordinary people. Same as students.

The cool breeze blows slowly in the night sky, and red lights symbolizing starships occasionally flash in the starry sky. The tall tower with the lights is standing in the business center. The bustling scene can be seen in this remote alley even if it is very far away. .

However, the more beautiful and luxurious the scene in the distance is, the more people walking in the cold streets feel a kind of trance, as if this short distance of several thousand meters is more than ten long lives apart. The feasting and feasting make people walking in the night unable to imagine what it will be like inside even if they fantasize about it.

I have never seen it before, and even dreaming about it has become a luxury hope.

Passing by an alley again, Shan heard a low and heavy bass coming from inside, as if there was some kind of small underground concert going on inside, and there were some people standing at the entrance of the alley.

"Would you like to come in and have a look? Today is the celebration performance of Dominica from 'Bad Bunny'. It is full of benefits. For only 398 federal coins, you can enjoy it with everyone up close~"

A girl wearing a bunny uniform was keenly aware of the young man turning his head when passing by the alley, and immediately jumped over.

"this……"

Shan was caught off guard. He looked at the scantily clad bunny-eared girl in front of him and was surprised.

"Are you a student?" This is Academy City, and most young people are students.

"Yes, oh, are you interested in me? But not tonight, I have to help Dominica distribute flyers. We are the best sisters~"

The alluring bunny girl dress in purple and pink, the slender legs wrapped in fishnet stockings, and the pair of swaying bunny ears are all full of a slightly drunk and seductive atmosphere. It seems that Misugi is a little green, and this bunny-eared girl is even more bold. As he came closer to her, the warm fragrance on his body could be smelled on the tip of Shan's nose. This should be the smell of perfume mixed with sweat.

While talking, the girl with rabbit ears in front of her placed the ticket in Shan's palm. There was a figure of another girl similar to her printed on it. The other girl had black rabbit ears, one stood up and the other was bent. She was wearing a youthful and beautiful dress. The stage skirt and the microphone held high in the hand are particularly energetic.

"Come on, just 398, just scan the code on my chest to pay~"

As she spoke, she gently parted the flesh of her chest with her fingertips, making the barcode slightly more visible. The snow-white skin was particularly eye-catching even in the night.

In such a situation, the words that Shan originally wanted to refuse were stuck on the tip of his tongue but he couldn't say them out. Finally, he carefully pushed the bunny-eared girl in front of him away and took out his personal terminal in the face of the other party's slightly surprised look.

"I'll just buy it. There's no need to be so enthusiastic." He tried his best not to look at the girl opposite and calmed down his mood.

"Hey, okay, giggle~" As she said this, the girl winked and laughed.

After the payment was completed with a beep, a slightly warm finger pressed on Shan's palm, "This is your ticket, just take it and go in. By the way, you can also choose a drink for free with your ticket. I recommend drinking it." Ice and stone cool fire'.”

After saying that, she waved her hand and watched the young man walk into the entrance of the bustling underground concert hall, and then went to look for the next target again.

Walking into the concert hall, which was full of vibrating and reverberating sound, Shan could see that many people had gathered beside the stage, and the only light in the concert hall shone on the singer in the middle. She was wearing a bold stage costume, and her figure was vaguely revealing. The black stockings swayed in the shadow of the light, and the fingers continued to pluck the guitar strings, which together with the manic bass sound in the background, gradually brought the emotion of the scene to a climax.

Her blue-purple highlighted hair was dripping with sweat, and the voice conveyed in the microphone seemed to be filled with steam and mist. Her chest and lungs were constantly rising and falling, and sounds like burning flames came out of her lungs.

The singing voice is roaring, but it is not rough. Instead, the energy is used very skillfully. At the same time, it is gentle, and the rhythm is lifted up layer by layer like a wave, and finally pours down like an overwhelming force, making everyone in this deafening environment sink.

"Dominica＼(☆o☆)／!"

"Dominica＼(☆o☆)／!"

"Dominica＼(☆o☆)／!"

Walking among the excited fans and audience, Shan looked at the bunny-eared girl on the stage who was completely immersed in the performance, and felt an unspeakable feeling in his heart. Even a person like him, who knew nothing about music, could feel it. The strong emotion and impact emanating from this song, combined with the reality of body and sweat, seems to be even more moving. Moreover, this experience is difficult to experience when watching those singers perform.

He did not scream like the people around him, but he slowly let himself merge into the sweeping waves, as if giving up thinking, his whole body and mind swayed with the singing, and drifted into the burning dark sea, cold and hot, this Two opposite feelings, so beautifully unified.

"Dominica＼(☆o☆)／!"

"Dominica＼(☆o☆)／!"

"Dominica＼(☆o☆)／!"

The sea of ​​carnival is still spreading. There seem to be more and more people in this small underground concert hall, and the air is turbid. But no one cares at this moment. Only the pairs of eyes in the dark night are watching and singing hard in the only light. and girl on fire.

She does not have the talent of a singer, but she still infects every audience member who comes in tonight with her voice of boiling life. It is like firewood burning in a humid night, crackling and filled with sparks and debris, and carrying bubbles that are constantly hissing and boiling.
