Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Panda Novel

Campbell did not expect an opportunity to work together with Li Nianwei. However, as a professional musician, he still came to Shenluo City. After all, the news that Li Nianwei would withdraw from Sing! Milky Way was an earthquake-level one.

Most importantly, Campbell was curious about why Li Nianwei would suddenly quit.

Li Nianwei’s reputation was red-hot after her lyrics-less song “Dedication”! She had such an excellent development opportunity, why did she give up like that? Especially with her skills, she was a promising candidate to win the Sing! Milky Way grand finals. However…

“Hai, it’s such a shame for her to announce her withdrawal.” While waiting, Campbell could not help but feel sad for Li Nianwei.

Of course, there was another reason, besides curiosity, for him coming here today. Campbell did want to see Li Nianwei personally.

Campbell always felt that the images in holographic projections at the Sing! Milky Way live arena were too surreal. As a music producer, Campbell always felt that he could only spot her true potential by seeing her in real life.

Now, Campbell finally saw her.

“Beautiful. She’s too beautiful.” Campbell’s heart jumped the moment he saw Li Nianwei’s face. He thought, “There’s really such a beautiful woman in this galaxy!”

Li Nianwei wore a gentle smile. She looked beautiful, innocent, and holy. Her white dress accentuated her incredible figure. Campbell interacted with hundreds of beautiful women on a daily basis. Every one of them was the best out of tens of thousands of people. They were definitely not ordinary. However, he was speechless now that he saw Li Nianwei.

“Too beautiful…” All the reporters stared in bewilderment.

Li Nianwei’s beauty contained great power. It made people willing to die for her without regrets. She just had to smile to capture everyone’s hearts—even including women’s.

The entire site became silent instantly.

Luckily, Li Nianwei finally spoke. “Sorry to have kept you waiting.”

Everyone’s attention was brought back to the venue.

The reporters violently shook their heads, finally regaining their trains of thought.

“Miss Nianwei,” One of the most reputable reporters rushed forward and anxiously asked, “why did you announce your withdrawal from the Sing! Milky Way competition? We feel that you are the most suitable candidate to win the grand finals of this year’s Sing! Milky Way. If you quit now, that will be such a shame!”

That question was shared by all the reporters. Hence, everyone nodded and waited for Li Nianwei’s response.

“That’s because…” Li Nianwei looked at Hong Dali with a gentle expression and softly said, “I’ve found my true love. As for reputation and other things, they’re not important anymore. I just want to be happy together with him. Competition and things like that don’t matter anymore.”

Everyone cried.

The goddess is in love! The goddess is in love! That’s a loss for all the music lovers in the Milky Way! How can that be?!

“Miss Nianwei,” The reporter anxiously said, “you can continue to participate in the competition! Competing and dating are not mutually exclusive!”

It was not every day that they got to see a genius. The reporter panicked. “If you become the champion of the Sing! Milky Way grand finals, then… won’t this gentleman be very happy too?!”

That was a great question. So, in two seconds, everyone turned their heads and focused their gazes on Hong Dali.

“Ah, my Sister Nianwei don’t need all those halos.” Hong Dali smiled. “I’m mainly concerned that she’ll be overworked. So I’m not allowing her to continue participating in the competition. Otherwise, she has to prepare for it every day. It’s quite troublesome…”

What the heck! You’re worried about troubles and you ask the goddess not to participate in the competition. What kind of logic is that?

All the reporters present wanted to strangle the guy. The reporter gritted his teeth and said, “Sir, don’t you feel like that’s too selfish?”

He went all out.

Who cares about who you are? If you dare to hog the goddess all to yourself, the people on this street alone are enough to drag you out and flick your penis until you die 100 deaths!

Goddess Li Nianwei belonged to the entire Milky Way!

“Eh? Selfish?” Hong Dali wondered. “What does that have to do with you? What does that have to do with anyone?”

Sister Nianwei is mine. She’s only mine. What does that have to do with you? Our Sister Nianwei isn’t Sola Aoi…

“That…” That was true. They obviously looked like a couple. It did not make sense for them to intrude on others’ privacy. The reporter was at a loss for words.

“Since there’s nothing else, we’ll be leaving first.” Hong Dali sniffed. “Anyways, it is what it is. The situation is what it is. I’ve said all that needs to be said…”

He wanted to leave the moment he finished that sentence. However, he was fully surrounded by reporters. It was impossible to take a single step.

The reporters were determined. They would not let them leave without proper explanations!

Just then, the reporters yelled and rushed forward. Even if Hong Dali was as powerful as the gods, he would still be buried in the crowd of people. After all, there were too many of them. It would not be easy to leave just like that.

Hong Dali and Li Nianwei shared a look and smiled at the same time. Disregarding the crowd, they slowly walked towards the staircase they came from.

Just then, the lights in the hotel lobby softened. A gentle faint glow covered their hair, face, hands, and clothes. The thousands of reporters blankly stared at the two of them. Suddenly, everyone’s hearts jumped violently. Everyone was lost in Li Nianwei’s beauty.

Originally, even if one person was slightly impatient and pushed someone else, a stampeded would be inevitable. However, everyone suddenly fell into a trance. They were stunned and frozen. They could only watch as the two people faded into the distance.

When they snapped back to reality, Hong Dali and Li Nianwei could no longer be seen.

“Sigh, these two.” Campbell sighed deeply and shook his head helplessly. “The gods are looking after them…”

…

The news of Li Nianwei’s announcement quickly spread through the entire entertainment business.

Countless wrought their hands in anguish. An indescribably beautiful, goddess-level singer would no longer be seen or heard from. Of course, as some people mourned, some others were happy. For instance, Sen Ling City’s champion, Caroline.

“What an amazing plot twist!” Caroline was happy beyond belief. “Li Nianwei forfeited from the competition. Hahahaha! In other words, she’s giving me the championship? Hahaha, I’m so grateful!”

…

On the internet, users wailed and moaned. Countless music lovers cried—

“Goddess, how could you announce that you won’t be participating in the competition anymore? We still want to hear you sing, sob sob sob…”

“How can I survive the days without my goddess, sigh…”

Of course, some other voices could be heard—

“I’m setting a bounty of fifty million dollars on the head of that despicable squandering prodigal who kidnapped my goddess!”

“Goddess, how can you just leave with someone else? Do you know how sad I am…”

“Updates, updates. The goddess’ man is named Hong Dali. Brothers, let’s hurry and curse him!”

“Hong Dali, I’ll never forgive you! Goddess, please don’t abandon me…”

“Sob sob sob. Let’s stop. Brothers, our goddess is about to leave this stage. The last thing we can do for her is to support her. Let’s give all our votes to her. Sob sob sob sob…”

“That’s right. Give your votes to our goddess. It’ll be our last time supporting her! If she gets in a good mood because of that, she might even release an album or something. Sob sob sob…”

…

Caroline was in a good mood. Originally, Li Nianwei was almost confirmed to be the champion. In the end, she suddenly announced her withdrawal from the competition. Without Li Nianwei, Caroline was confident that she would become the champion.

“Let’s see what my support rate is.” Caroline happily dressed herself up. She then asked her manager, “Hurry up and take a look. I think I’m the champion now. Haha, Li Nianwei left. Who else deserves to be my opponent?”

“Yes, miss.” The manager turned on the computer. He then quickly accessed the official site of Sing! Milky Way. Then, when he saw Li Nianwei’s support rate, the mug in his hand fell to the floor…

The support rate for the contestants on the Sing! Milky Way’s official site made the manager collapse emotionally.

Li Nianwei’s Hundred City Showdown support rate: 5,213,254,684

Caroline’s Hundred City Showdown Support rate: 3,125,468,445

5.2 billion support rate!

“This… this is fake. This must be fake!” Caroline was devastated. “5.2 billion support rate! How is that possible?! Didn’t she announce her withdrawal?! Didn’t she say that she won’t be attending the competition anymore?! How can she have such a high support rate?!”

5.2 billion to 3.1 billion. That was a huge difference.

Nobody could do anything about such a difference.

Just as Caroline was feeling depressed, something else happened on Hong Dali’s side…

Once she decided to leave the Sing! Milky Way competition, Li Nianwei could finally relax. Since she was free now, she still must do some things—Li Nianwei, Tang Muxin, Ling Xiaoyi, and the rest had a secret discussion and made a few small moves…

Hm, that’s right. Since they had some exposure now, they wanted to advertise for Hong Dali’s businesses. As for the slogans, Tang Muxin discreetly baited Hong Dali into giving her some creative lines…
