Chapter 1034: Chapter 713: Flaunting Love [16] Netizens: Celebrate Worldwide, Nora Scott Finally Messed Up!
Nora Scott picked up the suona again because she wanted to learn the anime theme song from "Death Legend."
Initially, she used a bamboo flute, but no matter how she played, it was never in tune. Julian Linfield found it agonizing to listen and casually suggested that Nora simply switch to another instrument, so the next day, she got a suona and played it with great joy.
Who would have thought, she actually mastered it.
Nora now had a strong drive to learn, was itching to show off, and wanted to regain some face after losing it with the bamboo flute, so—
She actually brought the bamboo flute with her when she went out with Henry Chapman and Pedro Langley.
"Where to?"
Henry, who had automatically taken the driver’s seat, asked belatedly.
He meant to ask Nora and Pedro if they’d turn left or right after going out since they were unfamiliar with the area, and Henry didn’t think they could come up with an accurate location.
As a result, Nora covered the mic and reported an address.
"How did you look at the map?" Henry asked suspiciously, raising his eyebrows slightly.
Nora hadn’t looked at her phone.
There were no electronic devices in the villa either.
How did Nora know the address?
"The route is in my head." Nora played with the suona, responding casually.
Henry: "..." freёwebnoѵel.com
The show crew: "..."
Did you open a cheat behind their backs?
But, in fact, Nora did remember the route map. It wasn’t a temporary cramming either. As a Living Map of the Northwest, she had memorized many maps and routes. Sometimes, she only needed to spend a few minutes studying a map of a city to have a general concept in her mind.
Especially in places she’s personally visited.
She rarely makes mistakes.
This skill, for people like her junior sister and April Thomason and Hardy Rivers, is a basic ability.
Practice makes perfect—isn’t that the truth?
...
The sunlight outside was just right, even in the afternoon. The sunshine on the body didn’t feel scorching; the temperature was just perfect.
Nora was drowsily leaning against Pedro’s shoulder.
When she opened her eyes again, they had already reached their destination.
"We’re here."
Pedro gently supported her head, whispering softly in her ear, pampering and coaxing her, afraid of disturbing her.
"Oh."
Subconsciously, Nora hooked her arm around Pedro’s neck, wanting him to carry her out, but she quickly realized they were still livestreaming, so she opened her eyes and lethargically released Pedro.
[I’m feeling sour, how about you guys?]
[Feeling some serious lemon vibes, huh.]
[So mushy! Are they an old married couple that’s been together for six years?]
[Heavenly Immortal as a female knight one moment, then a mortal the next—I can’t keep up.]
[When will I have a husband like this?]
[Everyone, get real; it’s almost time for Heavenly Immortal’s performance. Are your ears ready?]
[Earplugs are ready.]
[Eye drops ready.]
[Sunflower seeds ready.]
[The knife for passersby is ready.]
...
Under the enthusiastic anticipation of the netizens, Nora and the group got out of the car, then put on hats and sunglasses, and went to the designated spot Nora had chosen.
It was a park.
Although remote, the scenery was pretty good. Residents from several nearby communities liked strolling here. Since it was a day off and the weather was nice, before evening, there were already people coming and going in the park.
The three of them found an empty space.
Pedro and Henry consciously stepped aside, keeping a distance from Nora. At the same time, they intentionally or unintentionally avoided eye contact with her.
Nora, holding the suona, just placed a bowl with a deliberately broken corner in front of her and stood up, noticing their little moves, she frowned, "What do you two mean by this."
"It’s embarrassing."
Henry said very honestly.
Nora hissed, "But wasn’t it your suggestion?"
"I suggested you play the suona, didn’t want to get side-eyed with you." Henry, being straightforward as he always was.
"..." Nora gritted her teeth, and her gaze swept over to Pedro sharply, "What’s your excuse?"
"Calm down," Pedro’s voice sounded much more pleasant, "Meanwhile, I’ll help you observe the situation; if anyone dares to mess with you, I’ll intercept them beforehand."
Nora: "..."
Damn, her marriage is over.
"It’s written on your face—’Divorce the moment you get home’," Pedro poked through with a sentence.
"Go away."
Nora waved her hand dismissively.
Finally, to save the marriage, Pedro took a few steps forward, trying to strengthen the teetering relationship.
Even though he received a few side-eyes from Nora.
[Just felt sour, now I feel balanced again.]
[Haha, one second you’re sighing about how Actor Chapman and Mr. Langley spoil Nora so much, the next moment, their relationship hits an unprecedented crisis.]
[Reality, so reality. That’s just men.]
...
The netizens giggled and chattered.
Until—
The sound of Nora’s suona played.
[...]
"..."
Life can be so tough.
And Nora wasn’t even playing the "Death Legend" anime theme, but rather a somewhat mournful tune—one she was best at.
[Dropped dead on the spot.]
[I’m done for.]
[If I passed by, I’d definitely hit her.]
[Guess if she’ll get hit.]
[Who’s gonna step up and give her a beating?]
...
Perhaps it was the strong resentment of the netizens, but halfway through the song, just when Nora was getting into it, a group of people suddenly approached, intimidating and each looking angrier than the last.
"What’s the meaning of this?!"
"Stop, stop, stop, make it stop right now!"
"Are you summoning spirits here or looking for a beating?!"
...
They were extremely angry, yelling at the top of their lungs.
Nora didn’t even spare them a glance, continuing to play as if lost in the moment.
Henry and Pedro exchanged looks, saying nothing, but instead of retreating, they simultaneously stepped forward to block the men.
"This is an artist permit." Pedro took out the documents the program group had prepared, "Whatever we play is legal and compliant."
"I don’t care about any so-called artist permit; you better stop her, or don’t blame us for being rude!"
"Who the hell uses a suona to play funeral music for an outdoor performance?! Isn’t it asking for a beating!"
"Damn, you’re not listening, are you?!"
...
The group became increasingly aggressive.
The program crew hesitated about whether to step in to intervene.
The eyes of the livestream viewers were sparkling as they watched the scene unfold.
[Fight! Fight!]
[If you don’t fight, I’ll be disappointed in you!]
[Fight, fight, Pedro, they’re disturbing your Heavenly Immortal’s suona performance, get them!]
...
And then, they really started fighting.
The netizens: [...] Sorry, they were just joking around.
