1230 How Many Times Could Men Have Heard This Song (2/2)
It was impossible; they seemed like they were not going to give her even a single pearl. However, the audience finally came to their senses and cheered madly for her.
She managed to bring the house down by receiving countless pearls thrown up to the stage like a hail. There was staff that was in-charge of collecting the pearls. Normally, they would pick up the pearls as soon as the performance ended and pass them to the performers once they left the stage.
Lan Fei, for example, had received about ten thousand pearls. There were a few buckets of pearls to be collected.
The pearl picker was only able to take a short rest after Lan Fei's performance. Now he had to work even harder to collect Gu Xijiu's pearls that were scattered all over the stage after her performance. The amount was even more than what Lan Fei had received.
The audience was apparently yearning for more as they requested. ”Encore!”
”My goodness! That was so good! The melody should belong only to the heavens. How many times could men have heard this song?”
The cheering went on and on. The audience was raising a hue and cry, so loud as though their voices were penetrating the sky.
Gu Xijiu did not intend to earn more. To her, there was no point in having more money than she needed. The amount that she had just earned was enough to cover her expenses.
She smiled gently and was ready to leave the stage.
”Miss Gu, wait a moment, please!”
Perplexed, Gu Xijiu furrowed her brows. ”What is the matter?”
”Miss Gu, will you please perform one more song? If you will, the grand prize will be yours.” suggested Lan Fei.
The audience agreed, one after another.
Gu Xijiu shook her head. ”I am not interested.”
”Miss, the legendary luminous pearl is worth a million Tridacna pearls. If you take it to the land, you can trade it for countless gold and silver.”
Gu Xijiu was still not to be swayed, ”Sorry, I couldn't care less.”
”What do you care for? As long as you name it, I will make it happen, so long as you agree to sing another song,” Lan Fei refused to give in.
