Therefore,

The Life Extension Pill is a treasure beyond reach!

Upon seeing this, Mr. Nangong is equally excited, tears even welling up in his eyes!

Because with the Soul Revival Pill,

He can extend his precious granddaughter's life by seven days, accompanying her for seven more days!

"Sir!"

Mr. Nangong, facing Bai, wears a grave expression, then bends deeply at the waist and says, "On behalf of the Nangong Family, I thank you, sir!!"

As he speaks,

More than eighty members of the Nangong Family behind him also collectively bow deeply to Bai.

"If there is anything sir desires, feel free to tell me. Whatever my Nangong Family can achieve, we will not fail to deliver! With so many witnesses here!"

Mr. Nangong continued.

"No."

Bai smiled slightly, his demeanor still exuding an air even more noble than that of a Prince, saying, "What's the meaning in asking for returns when giving a birthday gift, Mr. Nangong need not worry. This is just a token of my regard."

"Good, excellent! Young friend Bai is truly a Dragon and Phoenix among people and is bound to make waves!"

Mr. Nangong lavishly praised him.

He has met countless individuals.

He also clearly understands that the Ao Huang Three Families and others are offering lavish gifts because his Nangong Family is the foremost great family and their actions in the East Sea often depend on the Nangong Family's stance.

Yet Bai,

When offered promises to meet his needs, directly declines.

It's not that he's being insincere.

He can see that for him, the Soul Revival Pill indeed isn't too difficult to come by.

This is something that even their Nangong Family dare not guarantee they could manage.

Furthermore, a foreigner giving such a heavy gift without seeking immediate reciprocation, holding a long-term view— if such a person doesn't succeed, who would?

Mr. Nangong couldn't stop praising Bai.

Others at the moment are also looking up to Bai with extreme admiration.

Merely the fact that he could obtain the Soul Revival Pill is enough to speak volumes of his personal abilities, and coupled with the noble aura he exudes unconsciously, it made people curious about his background.

After exchanging pleasantries with Mr. Nangong, Bai returned to his original position.

At the same time,

He glanced at Qin Feng from the corner of his eye, smiling inwardly.

This generous gift brought such an immense shock that it would make others' gifts seem lackluster in comparison.

More importantly,

The stark contrast would render Qin Feng's gift just as lackluster.

Leaving him without face to seek the Nangong Family's mediation.

Simply relying on Luo Hongyan's performance to sing.

Is not enough.

After Bai's gift was presented, the gifts from others were almost all delivered.

At this moment, Little Dragon Girl saw Luo Hongyan and first showed a hint of surprise, then her eyes gleamed with delight as she exclaimed: "Sister Luo, that's Sister Luo!!"

"Yes, it's her."

Mr. Nangong said with a benevolent smile, "Grandpa knows you like her, so he invited her here for you."

"Grandpa, I love you!"

The Little Dragon Girl said excitedly.

Then she immediately ran up to Luo Hongyan and said: "Sister Luo, I like you so much, really, can you give me an autograph?"

Hearing this, the crowd was both amused and incredulous.

In their eyes,

Celebrities are merely performers, just tools for these high-ranking individuals to make money or playthings. They never admire celebrities - that's what the ordinary people do. Read ahead and get updates at *.

Yet at this moment, Little Dragon Girl wanted an autograph.

"Of course!"

Luo Hongyan squatted down with a smile and signed her name on the girl's clothing.

This little girl was very endearing, and she liked her very much too.

Especially after hearing from Qin Feng that after celebrating this birthday, within three days, she would depart from this world, she felt an even greater pity for her.

At this moment.

The elder smiled at Luo Hongyan and said, "Miss Luo, Long'er really likes you. Could you sing a song for my granddaughter?"

"Of course."

Luo Hongyan smiled.

Someone immediately brought over a microphone, followed by a batch of the world's top orchestras that had been prepared in advance.

"Miss Luo, they can play any song you want to sing. You just need to sing."

Mr. Nangong said.

The crowd parted to the center of the carpet to witness Luo Hongyan's grace.

Luo Hongyan then said to the orchestra, "Let's start with 'The Moon Song'!"

The Little Dragon Girl was thrilled.

It was this song that made her fall in love with Luo Hongyan.

The Moon Song.

It's an "innocent" song.

Without any romantic emotions, without any lament about the brevity of life, etc.

It's all about purity.

The lyrics used some from elementary school textbooks, such as, "A curved moon, a tiny boat, a little boat sharp at both ends, I sit in the tiny boat, only seeing the flickering stars and the blue sky..."

This song, combined with her pure voice, created an ethereal flavor.

No matter whether it's world-weary elders, troubled middle-aged people, young people in awkward early love, or children, they all forget everything while listening to the song, immersing themselves in that carefree and pure world...

After a moment.

The song ended.

The Little Dragon Girl excitedly threw herself into Luo Hongyan's arms, "It sounds so beautiful, Sister Luo sang it so well, I love it so much, thank you, Sister."

"No need to be polite, it's your birthday after all, this is your birthday gift."

Luo Hongyan said with a smile.

Everyone else who listened praised it nonstop.

It had to be said.

Her singing ability had reached another realm, truly very beautiful.

"Want to hear more?"

Luo Hongyan asked the Little Dragon Girl at this point.

"Yes, of course I do!"

The Little Dragon Girl said excitedly.

Luo Hongyan then turned to the orchestra and said, "Next, let's go with 'Counting Ducks'."

"Counting Ducks?"

The musicians were slightly startled, saying, "It seems... we don't have that song, do we?"

Others in the audience, including many who liked her singing, murmured, "Which one is that? I've never heard of it; I've heard all of her songs, and there's definitely no 'Counting Ducks'."

Seeing this, Luo Hongyan explained, "Oh, then I'll sing it myself."

With that said.

She took the Little Dragon Girl to the center, danced joyfully like a butterfly, and began to sing for her.

"In front of the door, under the big bridge, a group of ducks swam by.

Come on, come on, count them up, two four six seven eight.

Quack quack quack, such a lot!

Can't count just how many ducks, can't count just how many ducks..."

Suddenly.

Everyone was stunned.

"This, this is clearly a nursery rhyme!"

Someone in the crowd said.

Hearing this, Chen Lun immediately asked Luo Hongyan to stop, saying, "Hey! Luo Hongyan, what do you mean by this? Are you just trying to fool everyone, to fool the elder?"

"Fooling?"

Luo Hongyan asked puzzledly, "How am I fooling anyone?"

"Humph, do you think everyone here is stupid? The elder invited you over and you just casually sing a nursery rhyme?" Chen Lun said again.

Hearing this, others also showed displeasure.

The Family Heads of the Ao Huang Three Families smiled at this sight, and then secretly signaled their junior, Bei Ximing.

After all, it was not appropriate for the adults to get involved in such a quarrel.

Bei Ximing now had a smile at the corner of his mouth and stepped forward, saying, "Luo Hongyan, do you realize that your behavior is an insult to the Nangong Family!"
