The Idol Group Pet Became A Final Boss!

Chapter 53 - Large Scale Face Slapping 4

"You..." Yan Zhenhua ground his teeth. "Just remember one thing, Xiang Yi's performance is top-notch in the world! Don't forget to praise her!"

Yan Nai scratched his head. "How? Do I just… force it?"

Shi Sui: "I suggest turning off your mic."

In a moment:

—[If didi continues like this, he won't find a girlfriend 23333]

—[Ahahahah lmao, I had no idea Shi Yingdi was this funny]

—[Director Yan's face looks like this emoji: CantBearToLook.jpg]

As they spoke, Xiang Yi came out with an instrument.

At first glance, the musical instrument looked like an erhu that has wooden head, neck, and body parts. The redwood of the instrument seemed to be antique, and it gave the whole instrument a unique charm.

Xiang Yi's haters in the stream immediately began to discuss.

—[I thought it was going to be so badass. But this? This tacky, ugly thing??]

—[Is she poisonous? Isn't this the shamisen* from Japan? No wonder she is the Vase Fairy: she can't do anything she tries at, but she's number one at selling out to other countries]

—[This seems very difficult to play. Is she not aware of her own capabilities? She coulda just performed a harmonica or played the piano with her thumb. Why create such a scene just to lose your own face?]

The next second.

Yan Zhenhua asked in surprise, "This is... a sanxian?"

In his spare time, Yan Zhenhua liked to visit teahouses and listen to local opera. This instrument looked familiar to him, but he wasn't a hundred-percent sure.

Xiang Yi mumbled a quick "mhmm". "Are there any particular songs you'd like to hear?"

Yan Zhenhua knew of a few tunes, but he really couldn't name one on the spot. Smiling, he said, "Anything is okay, just do your best."

"Please bear with me."

As her voice fell, the girl's slender fingers began to press on the strings.

A traditional tune began to sound; the unique strong yet clear sound of the sanxian suddenly pulling people into a smoky world.

Yan Zhenhua initially thought that Xiang Yi had only casually learned a few notes, but after listening to a short verse, he realized that this doll was not your average skilled player!

The level of the performers at the teahouse differed between master and junior apprentice, and the difference was quite obvious. But Xiang Yi's level of mastery was on par with those skilled masters!

Yan Nai had stopped s.u.c.k.i.n.g on his chicken bone as he stared at Xiang Yi in allure.

When she was serious, it was like she came with her own luminous filter that was sparkling like a diamond...

Yan Nai once again felt his ears turn red.

'Our sweet dear is really this talented??'

Inside the stream, the netizens also began to spam out question marks.

—[Whoever said this was a shamisen is an idiot. This is the traditional sanxian from our country!]

—[It takes a thousand days to learn the pipa, a hundred days to learn the zither, but half a lifetime for the sanxian. The sanxian is very difficult to learn; this girl has a few tricks up her sleeves]

—[Holy f*ck, I'm watching the stream in my yard, and as soon as the Vase Fairy began to play, my grandparents ran out from their weather report to compliment this girl on her skills!]

—[This is amazing; this is the feeling of walking around the Hutongs in the capital with a birdcage, getting tired, and sitting down on a rocking chair under the shade of a tree. Teasing birds and drinking tea, I could almost see the scenery through her sound. This is damn amazing! You guys keep calling her a Vase Fairy when she's obviously a treasure girl*! I'm a fan, I'm a fan!!!]

The netizens who had been scolding her suddenly changed their expressions, each one more surprised than the next.

This really was a large scale face slapping...

Only this time, it wasn't Xiang Yi slapping her own face but fiercely slapping those uncultured frogs who live in wells!

Translator's Note:

* Shamisen is a string instrument from Japan, making up of three strings and modelling itself after the Chinese lute instrument, sanxian. Xiang Yi plays the sanxian.

* 'Treasure Girl' is a trending online term used to describe an idol who had so much dirt on her that she could not be dug out but has a lot of nice qualities embedded deeper within her that have yet to be discovered, much like treasure.
