Chapter 204

Therefore, when this episode aired, she began to follow it.

She didn't have much interest in the others, but as for Ruthless Empress... hehe, she was full of interest.

At this very moment.

Zhu Zhu Xudan was watching the program on her phone screen.

The beginning of the program used a very short time to show a clip of the masked singers entering from the previous episode, and then the camera shifted to the new challenger.

This was a male singer, codenamed [Lonely Tree].

The codename was just like the person, looking very steady.

The live comments began guessing what rank he would get.

Some even said he would be a "one-round tourist."

In reality, many of the substitute singers on this program really were just one-round tourists; they came on the show mainly to gain exposure.

Of course, there were also those who wanted to stay for a few more episodes and sing a few more songs.

Next.

They entered the drawing segment.

The drawing order was based on the voting results from the previous episode, from highest to lowest.

0

Since Ruthless Empress was the champion of the previous episode, as a champion's perk, she would be the first to draw this time.

At this moment, as a staff member with a graceful figure entered the lounge, the camera captured the figures of Ruthless Empress and Cao Dan.

Ruthless Empress was still in that cold, "don't love anyone" state with her ghost mask on; the only change was her cape, which had switched from the navy blue of the previous episode to white. She sat lazily on the sofa, her long, fair, jade-like hand propping up her chin.

Cao Dan had also grown accustomed to her temperament and no longer tried to liven up the atmosphere.

Therefore, the lounge was very quiet.

But at this time, the live comment section formed a huge contrast—it exploded!

Countless comments scrolled across the screen.

"All hail the Empress!"

"Ruthless Empress is so cool ahhhhhhh!!!! Kill me!"

"I just love this cold and arrogant vibe!"

"Big sister is super cool!"

"Ghost mask on, loving no one—that's definitely my Ruthless Empress!"

.... .. 0

"She's here! The Empress who stunned the ages is here!"

"Even her sitting posture exudes dominance!"

"Is she singing a new song tonight?"

"My pillow is already prepared, convenient for kneeling down later."

"Tissues are also prepared."

"I missed the boat last episode, I must have a taste of something fresh this time..."

"Wuhu, take off."

"..."

In Hengdian, Zhu Zhu Xudan became even more certain that Ruthless Empress was Lady Jiang Yu.

That pair of beautiful twins occasionally had this exact sitting posture.

Just like last time, the task of drawing was left to Cao Dan.

The moment she glanced at the number, Cao Dan's pretty face blossomed with joy.

She had drawn number six.

This was an excellent performance slot.

To this, Ruthless Empress's reply was only a simple "Mm."

Surprisingly, neither the audience nor Cao Dan found it unusual.

This was just the temperament of the singer Ruthless Empress.

The drawing was finished.

Queen of Hearts drew the fourth spot, Purple Flower Rabbit the third... the challenger [Lonely Tree] had bad luck and drew the fifth spot.

Queen of Hearts was very strong; it wouldn't be easy for him to follow her performance.

One singer after another took the stage, and in the blink of an eye, it was Queen of Hearts' turn. Among the first three masked singers, Purple Flower Rabbit had the highest vote count, receiving 782 votes.

Robot had a strong showing, with votes just behind Purple Flower Rabbit.

Wandering Mage had the lowest votes, but still had 753.

Overall, the three of them performed and chose songs better than the previous episode.

Zhu Zhu Xudan found it quite interesting, but felt it was still a bit worse than "I Am a Singer" which aired two days ago, mainly because there was a clear gap in the singers' vocal skills.

"Whether this can compete with 'I Am a Singer' depends on the performances of Queen of Hearts and Ruthless Empress..." a red comment floated across the screen.

Amidst the attention of all, Queen of Hearts stepped onto the stage!

This singer seemed to have been provoked by the fact that after the last episode aired, everyone kept comparing her to Ruthless Empress!

As soon as the singing began, Queen of Hearts went straight for the high notes, her passionate and surging voice almost flipping the entire stage.

The strength of a veteran diva had completely erupted!

In an instant.

Rumble!

The scene was boiling!

The recording site of "Masked God of Song" was directly ignited!

The live comments on Penguin Video also exploded!

"Holy crap!"

"It exploded! My ears exploded!"

"My god!"

"These high notes are so awesome!"

"Is Queen of Hearts aiming for first place?"

"She's going after Ruthless Empress!"

"I knew it, there must be a big drama between her and Ruthless Empress tonight. In the eyes of a proud and confident person like Queen of Hearts, falling behind others in a competition is a disgrace."

"Only Ruthless Empress can fight her; the others are no match!"

"It has the flavor of the 'I Am a Singer' stage now. Queen of Hearts' high notes are too strong; she is definitely a diva!"

"I'm actually worried about Ruthless Empress now; Queen of Hearts has gone super saiyan."

"You should be worried about Lonely Tree instead; this guy has to follow Queen of Hearts' performance later..."

The comment section was discussing it crazily.

Everyone was shocked by the high notes displayed by Queen of Hearts.

And through the program footage, one could see that on site, the audience, professional judges, and celebrity guests were all dumbfounded.

In the backstage lounge, the masked singers exclaimed incessantly.

For music variety shows like "I Am a Singer" and "Masked God of Song," there has always been a saying that "high notes win half the battle."

Because high notes are too suitable for live performances; once a singer belts out high notes, it is easy to infect the emotions of the live audience. Low-pitched songs are hard to achieve this; they must be very heartfelt to make the audience resonate emotionally.

And with the strength of Queen of Hearts as a veteran diva, the effect brought by belting out high notes was naturally terrifying.

When the celebrity guests asked her why she chose this song, she panted and said: "I just want to prove that my singing skills are no worse than others!"

Who this "others" refers to, as long as one isn't stupid, one understands.

The production team even started stirring up trouble, specifically giving Ruthless Empress a camera shot after Queen of Hearts said this, though it was hard to see her expression under the smiling-yet-crying ghost mask.

In the end, Queen of Hearts received 895 votes, temporarily becoming the masked singer with the highest votes in this episode.

"The smell of gunpowder is strong."

"It's on, I'm starting to get excited."
