181: Chapter 181 This is called strength; strength needs no humility.

The bullet screen completely exploded at this moment.

Lu Li had to manually adjust the display area of the bullet screen, otherwise the lyrics and things like that... wouldn't be visible at all.

[Family, irrelevant to romance... these four words are already god-tier.]

[I thought the lyrics in the front were already amazing, but I didn't expect that the moment the line "How to interpret the word love, no matter how I write it down, it's all wrong" came out, I finally knew what true perfection was!]

[To be frank, Lu Li is now the ceiling of traditional Chinese style songs, handling the entire song all by himself. People like Lin Zhihan and others, stay away!]

[Wait, the lyrics, composition, arrangement, and vocals of this song... are entirely done by Lu Li alone???]

[Right, if he wasn't singing for the goddess, then all these songs would be completely handled by him alone.]

[I'm crying to death, he doesn't want to let anyone else make a single cent.]

[Good grief... this is no longer talent, this is a monster.]

Lu Li looked at those bullet screens and pretended to be calm.

But inside, he was already blooming with joy.

Especially with Shen Qingxue watching from the side, this flex of his muscles... was just too well-timed.

But he didn't show any expression, continuing to listen "calmly".

"Snap of the fingers, a city destroyed in an instant."

"Bluestone slab street, a glance back and your gracefulness."

"Are you resentful, you shake your head and sigh softly, who made your brows furrow."

"While the deep chambers leave only the scent of rouge."

Shen Qingxue listened quietly, her fingers unconsciously tapping along with the rhythm.

Although the snippet here sounded extremely nice.

She liked it very much too, but in a sense, her most favorite part... was still yet to come.

"Geese fly south, turning around with a glance and tears welling in your eyes."

"Cupping a handful of moonlight, embracing memories in hand, how to sleep."

"How could it be."

"Worries tightly stitched onto embroidered shoes, every needle full of resentment."

"If flowers resent butterflies, who would you be resenting?"

When singing this line, Lu Li's voice pulled back slightly, as if he couldn't bear to sing the word "resentment" too heavily.

Shen Qingxue subconsciously turned her head to glance at Lu Li.

Lu Li didn't look at her, his gaze still falling on the screen, but the slightly upward curving arc at the corner of his mouth still exposed his inner thoughts.

Smug.

Shen Qingxue smiled lightly without exposing him.

The bullet screen ushered in another small climax at this moment.

After the dense bullet screens flashed past.

The chorus sounded again.

This time, the repetition of the chorus was lighter than before.

It was like telling a story to the very end, not wanting to say goodbye, yet having to finish writing.

"And I am only lacking... a lifetime's understanding from you."

The chorus part also came to its final line.

When everyone thought the song was going to end just like that, Lu Li's newly resounded voice shattered their inherent impressions once again!

It can even be like this?!

"Irrelevant to romance... I write the preface and wait for your return."

"Handwritten with a clear conscience, fearless of the rights and wrongs of the mortal world."

"Rain beats on banana leaves, pattering for a few more nights."

"I wait for the spring thunder... to remind you whom you love."

Lu Li's voice faded, carrying a clean sense of relief.

After a brief silence, the bullet screens poured out in a near-frantic manner.

[Crying from shock... how can someone write songs so well...]

[Lu Li, do you really not have any bottlenecks???]

[I now seriously suspect whether Lu Li time-traveled from ancient times, so literary and with such a strong traditional Chinese style.]

[Too amazing, I want to copy down every single word of this song.]

[Have you guys noticed, his singing skills have improved tremendously too, compared to before he is practically a completely different person.]

[This goes without saying, it must be the goddess training him well.]

Seeing that bullet screen saying "the goddess trained him well", Lu Li couldn't help coughing.

Shen Qingxue tilted her head to glance at him, her expression still calm, but her eyes carried a hint of inquiry.

"Is your throat uncomfortable?"

"No."

Lu Li quickly put down his phone, rubbed his nose, and inexplicably felt somewhat vain.

"It's just... accidentally being handsome enough to impress myself."

Shen Qingxue froze for a moment, then burst out laughing with a "pfft".

This was the first time tonight she had laughed so unguardedly.

Lu Li looked at her, and his heartbeat skipped a beat once again.

Shen Qingxue quickly reined in her smile, but that arc still hung at the corner of her lips.

"Can't you be a little more modest?"

"Modest?"

Lu Li leaned back, pillowing his hands behind his head, crossing his legs, and his expression was as righteous and confident as it could get.

"This is what I call strength; strength doesn't need modesty."

Seeing his smug look, Shen Qingxue couldn't help laughing as well.

"Yes, yes, yes, you are the most amazing."

Saying that with her mouth, her gaze had already fallen back onto the phone screen, and her fingers subconsciously swiped down to refresh the page.

Then she froze.

Lu Li noticed the change in her expression and subconsciously leaned over to take a look.

"What's wrong? Why that expression?"

The next second, his expression stiffened as well.

On the screen, the video that had been posted for less than five minutes had already reached 230,000 likes.

The comments even broke 50,000, and the share count was also skyrocketing at a visible speed.

"... Holy crap?"

Lu Li couldn't help cursing, and quickly took the phone from her hands to refresh the page once more.

As a result, it gained another 10,000 likes.

"This... is this real?" Lu Li's voice was even floating a bit.

This growth rate was simply too terrifying.

Like the few songs they posted before, the growth speed was only half of this, or even lower.

There is simply no harm without comparison.

Shen Qingxue leaned closer, moving back to his side, her gaze falling on the constantly jumping numbers on the screen.

"It's real."

Her voice sounded fairly calm, but the tail of her voice carried a hint of trembling that even she hadn't noticed.

"230,000... no wait, 250,000 now, how many minutes has it been?"

Lu Li took a deep breath, slowly exhaled it, and then subconsciously blurted out.

"Terrifying to this extent..."

Shen Qingxue looked at him curiously.

"What kind of phrasing is this of yours?"

"I made it up myself."

Lu Li finished speaking righteously, and then shifted his gaze back to the screen.

"No way, no way, I have to take a screenshot, this historical moment must be recorded."

His fingers operated swiftly, taking a screenshot to save it, and then sending it to the "anti-fan" fan group that he despised yet couldn't bear to exit.

As soon as the message was sent, the group exploded.

[Holy crap? Didn't Lu Li stand us up tonight?]

[Bro, did you just connect to the internet now? Hurry up and go take a look outside.]

[Is this true or false? Over 200,000 likes in five minutes?!]

[Lu Li, did you use cheats???]

[This is real data, I watched it grow with my own eyes, 10,000 per minute, it simply can't stop.]

[Brothers, it's already 300,000 now.]

[Family, Lu Li released a song, and it's of such high quality, does that mean we won't be able to call him the Pigeon King in the future?]

[That won't do, Pigeon King is a term of endearment, Lu Li will always be the Pigeon King!]
