At that moment, Xia Yanyan, who was performing in the water music hall, was belting out a segment of dolphin tones. The girl thought that her own dolphin tones could outperform Xia Yanyan’s, her eyebrows lifted in satisfaction, proclaiming, “Fine, I’ll compete with your national treasure in dolphin tones.”
Ye Xingguang had a hunch that this girl might have some skills. After all, she was the one K country had sent; she couldn’t possibly be an amateur.
Ye Xingguang smirked arrogantly, “Who said our national treasure will be the one competing with you? We can send just anyone to compete with you – me, for example. Let’s see who does better with the dolphin tones!”
The prospect of competing with a nobody made the girl from K country feel dismissed. She frowned slightly, “What’s your name?”
“My name never changes, and I never switch teams. I’m Ye Xingguang, a nobody from A country!”
The girl from K country had never heard this name before. She glanced haughtily at him, not disclosing her own but simply gave a sign to the person beside her, who immediately announced, “This is our esteemed Princess JueChen from K country.”
In the political system of K country, although it resembles a presidential system, it still retains the once-existing royal family, not with any real power, but highly regarded by the people. This Princess JueChen, the second princess of the current royal family, full name Chi JueChen, is notably a good singer.
Ye Xingguang was aware of this piece of common knowledge, but as Chi JueChen was the most unassuming of all the princesses of K country, there were very few photos of her online, which was why he didn’t recognize her.
Chi JueChen whispered something to the person at her side, they nodded and left promptly.
After Xia Yanyan’s performance, the banquet’s host took the stage, “Honorable guests, ladies, and gentlemen, the next program is brought to you by the delegation from K country. Please welcome Princess JueChen of K country, who will be singing a song for us.”
The banquet hall burst into applause upon hearing this.
Next up, Chi JueChen, made a grand entrance.
The curtain of the water music hall was already drawn. All eyes were back on the other stage as Chi JueChen, a beautiful foreign princess, commanded everyone’s attention with her appearance.
Xia Yanyan, having changed outfits, returned to the banquet hall just as Chi JueChen was hitting the climax of her song.
Chi Juechen’s soaring dolphin tones echoed throughout the banquet hall…
The pitch seemed to have surpassed the limits of the human voice, but every time the guests thought she had reached the peak, Chi JueChen’s melodious voice would climb even higher, nearly unbelievable.
Upon sitting down and learning from Yi Yujian that Chi JueChen was trying to one-up her in terms of dolphin tones, Xia Yanyan frowned, intending to criticise Chi JueChen for being out of her depth, but then Chi JueChen’s well-tuned voice filled the banquet hall; it wasn’t without merit.
This section of her dolphin tones was better than the one Xia Yanyan had sang.
Xia Yanyan frowned, “If I’d known she wanted to compete, I would’ve sung higher. She waited till I finished singing to challenge me, that’s simply too much! I didn’t even perform at my full potential!”
Yi Yujian responded, “Who could’ve known that Chi JueChen would pull a stunt .”
Xia Yanyan said, “It’s my fault for not being cautious. The Minister of Culture did hint that K country was trying to make a show during this state visit, but I didn’t think anyone would dare to challenge my singing! What should I do now, should I add another item to my performance?”
Yi Yujian said, “You’ve already sung. Going up again to compete with Princess JueChen in dolphin tunes wouldn’t look good. No need for you to go up this time. My younger sister said she could go up against Chi JueChen, though I’m not sure if she’s confident enough?”
