Chapter 416: Stunning Lead Vocalist & Cool Guy Rapper 01

Jin Chen could not suppress the excitement in his heart.

He stood up, quickly walked a few steps to the wall, and the originally exquisitely decorated wall turned into highly transparent nanometer-level glass, inside which a faint golden light could be seen floating.

Opposite where Jin Chen stood, a youth with silver hair reaching his waist and a slender figure floated in the center of the golden light, pure and icy, his silhouette nearly transparent, yet his peerless visage was still clear, bearing an air of divine radiance and lunar grace.

As if sensing the disturbance outside, he awoke from his slumber, his phoenix eyes slightly lifting, his deep pupils showing no ripple.

Until his gaze lowered, he saw Jin Chen's silhouette.

The two suddenly locked eyes, and Jin Chen felt his heart tremble uncontrollably for an instant, as if this gaze had been awaited for many, many years.

But this feeling faded in an instant, ultimately replaced by joy and an inexplicable timidity.

Chenshu extended his hand, his pallid fingertips touching the barrier glass separating them, his clear gaze suddenly flowing with brilliance, shaking the soul.

Jin Chen also reached out, and the two pressed their palms together across the barrier.

He curled his lips in a faint smile, silently murmuring a few words.

"I remember everything."

Jin Chen understood his lip movements, and when he read those four words, his heart surged and his eyes trembled.

He said he remembered everything.

In all the previous worlds they had interacted, Chenshu's soul, even after merging, still retained its memories.

It wasn't just him alone who possessed those memories.

Jin Chen spoke, his voice unexpectedly a little hoarse, his deep-blue pupils fixed on his lover across from him.

"Wait for me."

Wait for me to collect all the soul fragments and bring you out of this barrier.

Wait for the moment when we can truly embrace in our true forms.

Chenshu also understood his lip speech, the curve of his lips deepening slightly as he slowly nodded, sending ripples of golden light.

After a moment, he lifted his gaze to look at White Marsh and 0731, then closed his eyes again.

The golden light instantly surrounded the floating figure again, like mist enveloping it, thread by thread seamlessly joined.

The wall also returned to its former appearance.

Here, resting the soul is undoubtedly the safest place.

0731 and White Marsh exchanged a glance, hesitantly reaching out their claws to grab the corner of Jin Chen's clothing.

"Host, don't be sad."

"I'm not sad."

Jin Chen turned, his expression ordinary, yet his brows softened and the corners of his mouth carried a smile.

"I know, I've always been with him."

"You're right, Little Pitiful One has never been separated from you."

0731 nodded thoughtfully, earnestly consoling, its pink-white paw patting Jin Chen's thigh again.

White Marsh: "Master, there are still many soul fragments you haven't retrieved; in the worlds ahead, you must also be extra careful."

"I know."

Jin Chen smiled at it, ruffled 0731's head, and said, "Let's go."

"Let's go, let's go!"

One person and one beast leapt onto the transmission platform.

【In transmission……Transmission successful!】

—

"If you quit the team now and leave immediately, we will absolutely not stop you."

As Jin Chen's consciousness just returned, he was hit with this sentence out of the blue.

He again didn't know how to answer.

Simply not speaking, he turned his head and saw an extraordinarily beautiful youth standing beside the person who had just spoken, looking at him with disappointment and helplessness.

"Honey!"

【Detected villain of this world, current Blackening Value 40, mission requirement: clear Blackening Value, change the villain's tragic fate.】

Jin Chen brightened slightly, and the next second he heard another person speak.

"Alright, everyone go out to calm down a bit, Chen'er, think it over again; if you really want to leave… we won't stop you."

The most gentle-looking man among the few people spoke, ushering everyone gathered at the door out.

In the blink of an eye, only Jin Chen remained in the room.

He blinked, observing the room's decor; it seemed the original occupant was involved in music.

【0731, quickly transmit the memories.】

Although the person who just scolded him wasn't his wife, that expression was practically indistinguishable from scolding; better not start off by arguing with his wife.

【Got it! Transmitting memories……Transmission successful!】

Indeed, as he thought, the main plot revolves around the entertainment industry.

The villain Yu Jinzhou, born in an orphanage, liked singing and instruments from childhood; at 16, while performing resident gigs at a quiet bar, he was spotted by a talent scout from Song Xing Entertainment, entered the company and began training as a trainee.

At 20, he debuted as a member of the five-man boy band Valuri under Song Xing Entertainment; thanks to his outstanding looks, ability, and vocals, the team positioned him as the face ACE and main vocalist; right after debut, he and the other Valuri members secured the company's top honors on three major music platforms, and album sales far surpassed those of contemporaneous groups.

Everyone thought this was the start of his music career, and he himself thought so too.

But in fact, it was the end.

Not a single member of Valuri expected that Song Xing Entertainment never intended for their group to last long from the beginning.

It was because a rival company suddenly launched a girl group, the timing was right, and Song Xing Entertainment happened to be in a hiatus, with no alternative but to hastily put out a boy group to drive sales.

When Valuri's popularity was at its peak, Song Xing Entertainment shelved them, using their hype to launch a brand-new five-man group Light with the same lineup.

All resources originally belonging to Valuri were also given to Light. After the makeup artists deliberately stepped in to guide, fans who had not yet been won over by Valuri started flocking to Light, and Light shot to fame under Song Xing Entertainment's operations.

While Valuri was shelved for a year, its biggest resource was merely individual gigs for small ads, and its music stages were almost nonexistent. The turning point came when the team's rap member, Jin Chen, left the group and went abroad, after which the group's internal cohesion finally collapsed.

Despite everyone's pessimism, Yu Jinzhou and another member, Song Xing, obtained variety show resources, unaware that this was again a deliberate arrangement by the company, which had them participate in a music variety show as a control group for Light; on the program they were edited to appear as if they were coldly speaking to fellow label artists, with malicious added camera shots, and bullying as junior members of Light.

For a time, Yu Jinzhou faced countless negative rumors, until he discovered that the song he himself had written had also become the title track of Light's new album, and even the original author's credit was given to the protagonists Yu Shenshen and Cen Wu Bai before he finally resolved to sue the company.

But by then he had become a so-called tainted artist, with no fans and no reputation; aside from donating all the money he had earned to an orphanage, he used the remainder solely for making music.

As expected, Yu Jinzhou lost the lawsuit, while the two protagonists instead gained a good reputation for originality; all his evidence was destroyed by his agent, and he ultimately lost everything and died by suicide.

Even in the end, everyone thought he was jealous of Yu Shenshen, who grew up in the same orphanage, and thus spared no effort to ruin Yu Shenshen's career, ultimately bringing about his own downfall.

Memory reception complete.
