Samsara Online

"Well, but as a daughter of the Shen family, if there is one thing Shen Xinya possesses and does not lack, it is money." Mu Wuying pointed out with a smile.

Everyone agreed with her words.

Xie Feng looked behind him and sighed in his heart.

Although the VIP seats and the rest of the audience were separated by at least ten meters of distance and there was a screen separating the two sides, while the people in the normal stalls could not see who were the ones sitting in the privileged seats, the VIP members could see the situation behind them since the screen had a one-way visual block.

It was only five minutes before the appointed time, and all the fans had already entered into the stadium a couple of minutes ago. One could see the look of excitement on the faces of many of them. The murmurs could be heard continuously and occasionally there were some fans shouting out loud their love for Shen Xinya.

The stadium of the Shanghai New World Center was really huge; the number of people it could hold was a little over a hundred thousand. However, tickets for today’s concert had disappeared as soon as they were released for sale. From the cheapest ticket costing 1,000 yuan to the most expensive ticket priced at over 50,000 Chinese yuan, all were sold out less than ten minutes after going on sale.

This was proof of how overwhelmingly popular and influential Shen Xinya was in the entertainment world and how beloved she was by her fans.

Xie Feng had even heard rumors that the prince of Dubai was willing to pay several million just to have the chance to dine with Shen Xinya. Although he wasn’t sure if this was real or not.

The interior lights were off and only the silhouettes of people could faintly be seen thanks to the dim lights that surrounded the outline of the stage. Suddenly, all the agitated voices or murmurs stopped; it was hard to hear even the breathing of the people.

The faint sound of gentle footsteps coming from the back of the stage was so soft that even the tiniest voice could cover it, yet surprisingly, that minuscule sound reached everyone’s ears as if by magic.

As he watched the person slowly walk from the back of the stage to the front, even Xie Feng forgot to breathe and simply stared at her with a dazed expression on his face.

Shen Xinya was wearing a pure white long dress. The dress was so long that it was difficult to even see her feet, but it did not drag on the floor nor could it hide the seductive curves surrounding her slender body. This was a very strange dress that was practically unseen in the current era. A dress similar to what heavenly fairies described by poets wore in the immortal world.

Her black hair flowed like a waterfall freely down her back and fell to the bottom of her waist, as soft and shiny as the most expensive silk in the world. Her face that could only be described as heavenly was completely free of make-up, showing off her natural beauty for all to see... The faint, dim white stage lights, barely enough to illuminate her surroundings, only served to enhance her beauty even more.

At that moment, everyone had the same thought on their minds: "She’s definitely an immortal fairy who came into this world by mistake."

"Thank you all so much for honoring Xinya with your presence." Shen Xinya said as her eyes slowly scanned the world before her.

Her voice traveled slowly but surely to every corner of the stadium as if the wind was gently caressing it for all to hear.

It was only when Shen Xinya spoke that Xie Feng and the rest of the people, regardless of whether male or female, breathed again.

Xie Feng was slightly surprised at first before smiling bitterly. Shen Xinya was already very beautiful, so beautiful that she could steal anyone’s breath with a smile; however, the current Shen Xinya had a charm that was hard to describe and hard to surpass. Just standing there in silence was enough for all people regardless of gender to hold their breath for fear that she would disappear the next second.

Not for nothing did she receive the title of the most beautiful woman in all of Asia. Many even believed that such a title was no longer enough to describe how beautiful she was.

After taking a moment, Shen Xinya’s soft voice echoed again: "Maybe some of you know... Maybe others of you don’t know... I am currently 20 years old and have been in the entertainment world since I was 17. Since I was little I have always loved to sing. My beloved mother often told me that my voice had a strange power in it capable of enchanting all living creatures..."

The whole place was so quiet that it could even be heard if a needle fell to the floor at that moment. None of the people present felt that what the woman had just said as a heavenly fairy on the stage was false or exaggerated; because they were living proof of how true her words were. Many of them could still remember clearly the first time they heard her song; they felt that their souls had been stolen and no longer belonged to them.

"However, although I have received many praises throughout my life, there was one in particular that I still remember as if it were yesterday." Shen Xinya continued, her lips curving slightly into a smile so beautiful that for a moment everyone forgot to breathe again.

Her eyes looked straight towards seat number 7, that place that was only a few steps away, a place that was always within her range of vision, and she said, "This is something that happened many years ago... At that time I was only a 10 year old girl, but I can still remember the words that person said to me. ’Little Xinya, your voice really is magical. Every time I hear you sing, I feel like my mind travels to another world, a strange world where I am still me but at the same time I am no longer me...’ I know it may seem weird to many of you, but those words never disappeared and to this day I carry them in my heart."

Shen Xinya retracted her gaze from the seat in front of her and, with a beautiful smile on her face, continued, "Not long ago, I had a conversation with my mother after paying her a visit after several months without seeing her... At that time I decided it was time for a break from the entertainment world, I wanted to feel what life was like for a normal young woman of my age. I wanted people to see me for who I am, and not for my voice."

As if a rock had been thrown into a peaceful lake, raising waves of various magnitudes, the previously quiet and calm place suddenly erupted with all kinds of murmurs and shouts.

"Beauty Shen, you can’t leave!"

"Please do not do it! Stay with us!"

"Xinya, my goddess! Please don’t leave us!"

All kinds of shouts erupted from the crowd. Several security guards standing near the stage panicked and unconsciously stepped forward for fear that the crowd would rush to the front. Fortunately, no such thing happened.

Shen Xinya slightly raised a hand to ask for silence please and, as if her every action was magical, the agitated place calmed down again after a few seconds.

"I know this news might not please many of you, and I apologize for that." Shen Xinya continued, her soft voice containing a hint of remorse and sorrow, but mostly longing and conviction, "As everyone here probably knows, all my songs are about love. In my whole life, I loved only one person, but for reasons higher than me at the time, I was forced to separate from him... When I decided to retire from the entertainment world to live a life as normal as possible, I still believed that I would never fall in love again, that my heart could not be occupied by a second person... However, although destiny is sometimes cruel, sometimes it can also be kind... Not long ago, by pure coincidence, I met again my first and only love, whom I thought I would never see again in my life. Unfortunately, he already has someone else in his heart."

The men felt their hearts break into a thousand pieces when they learned that their beloved Shen Xinya, the goddess of their hearts, had actually always been in love. They all knew that the love between a fan and their idol singer was a platonic love, impossible to happen. However, all the men who were secretly or openly in love with Shen Xinya, believed that she would not love anyone. They all unconsciously hoped that she would never find true love.
