Chapter 95 Eden
……
A mature woman with beautiful long, wine-red hair, her hair simply covered by a high-brimmed hat, her golden eyes hidden by sunglasses, strolled through the city streets, with plainclothes guards in the shadows.
Of course, it's Eden.
This is what the "city of ruins" I'd heard so much about looks like. Old, run-down neighborhoods, overflowing trash cans, a lingering stench, menacing stares, and fights erupting from seemingly inexplicable friction...
Her heart sank to the bottom.
Eden had already seen what the "giant dome" the Australian government was about to build would look like through VR simulations and design drawings. It was an unprecedentedly huge venue capable of holding a full 300,000 people, with the stage edge inlaid with a large amount of gold foil, countless crystals and agates hanging from the ceiling, and needless to say, a host of high-tech facilities...
Centered around the dome, with two wide avenues running north-south and east-west, each with eight lanes, and a newly built airport and parking garage, Eden can almost picture the spectacle of the next concert.
But... so this is what happened in the city of Hua's defeat.
Prosperous places are like paradise on earth. Decadent places, on the other hand, resemble slums from hundreds of years ago, remnants of an old era that should have been discarded long ago.
Eden, Eden, against this backdrop, looking at those carefree children with no future to speak of, can you still feel at ease holding those concerts that symbolize a golden age, those extravagant feasts?
Eden told herself no, she couldn't do it.
The only remaining glimmer of hope is that the Moth Chaser is about to take over the politics here. I've long heard that "Dr. Mei" is an infallible figure, and I hope her methods can change things…
But Eden also felt that she could do things on her own without relying on others.
With over a decade of superstardom, Eden has amassed an immeasurable fortune. The sales of each of her albums could rival the total population of the world, and the box office revenue of each of her plays and films is tens of millions of times greater than that of second- or third-tier stars at the peak of their careers.
Eden, oh Eden, what use is wealth? If you can't do anything with it, it's just a piece of paper, a string of numbers in a bank, a useless stone in a treasure vault.
A noble and radiant soul, even far removed from the world, is still willing to be down-to-earth and do something for people.
This is Eden.
She made up her mind and left without looking back. But unexpectedly, she encountered someone who was both a stranger and a familiar face.
Himeko, with her fiery red hair and a few followers, found Eden's villa and requested a private meeting with her.
Eden had heard that Himeko was about to station her elite Moths combat force in Australia, a force that would clearly instigate a political upheaval. Eden herself was about to hold a concert; while she lacked military power, she possessed arguably the world's largest pool of cash and the greatest influence.
Meeting would be a good thing for both parties.
So, Himeko led Hua, Yin, and Yun Fuyu into Eden's villa district. After nearly getting lost in the villas, they finally met Eden in a magnificent hall.
When the moment finally arrived, Yin, who had been the most excited before, froze, standing stiffly behind Himeko, her eyes fixed straight ahead, afraid to move. Hua was a little better, but she couldn't hide her excitement either.
After exchanging polite pleasantries with Himeko, Eden looked at the three people behind her and said with a smile, "Ms. Himeko, why don't you introduce these rising stars to me?"
Yun Fuyu looked around and saw that Hua and Yin were so excited they could barely speak. It seemed she had underestimated Eden's influence on the world...
He stepped forward and bowed politely (don't ask, just know that the Moth of Fire course has all sorts of etiquette), saying, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Lady Eden. My name is Yun Fuyu, from the Moth of Fire... other things are not worth mentioning."
Even though he admired the beings in the Pure Land of the Past and was often excited to see them, this excitement was quite different from the excitement of seeing an idol. He only needed to suppress his emotions slightly to remain composed and dignified.
Eden nodded politely in acknowledgment.
After what could be considered a "mutual introduction" session, Himeko sat down with her master, Eden, and casually said with a smile, "Ms. Eden, these little guys have been talking about wanting to see you ever since they boarded the plane, but now they're all getting shy."
"It's okay, this is everyone's recognition of me, and I'm only happy about it."
Eden didn't care; this was already the norm in her life.
Instead, she looked at Yun Fuyu with curiosity: "I am rather curious, young man. Your eyes tell me that you don't seem to be my fan, but rather a passerby who is happy to see a famous person."
Yun Fuyu's body stiffened slightly, then relaxed. Was she a fan of Eden? Perhaps not? It was more like she was a fan of Seele and Alicia…
Besides, so what if he's not a fan of Eden? Eden won't look down on him because of that. And besides, his destiny is Seele, okay? Frankly, in Yun Fuyu's eyes at this moment, all other women's charm would be discounted by half, while Seele's would be increased by a hundred percent!
He smiled and said, "Ms. Eden, we are a generation that grew up listening to your music. Even if we don't call ourselves fans, it doesn't change the fact that we admire you."
Eden covered his mouth and chuckled: "You're quite amusing... Hmm, do you have a girlfriend?"
Only by getting used to dealing with girls can you develop such speaking skills.
Yun Fuyu scratched his head awkwardly: "Uh... we haven't officially started a relationship yet, but I'm determined to have her!"
"It's truly heartwarming to see the youthful energy of young people. Good luck, and I wish you all the best."
Eden turned to Hua. Although the gray-haired girl seemed to be sitting upright, Eden had already noticed her little movements, so he smiled and said, "This lovely girl, would you like my autograph? Please feel free to make such a request to me. I am happy to fulfill other people's wishes."
The future Red-Robed Immortal Fu Hua, now a naive young girl, trembled as she pulled out paper and pen from her pocket and stammered as she asked Eden to sign them for her.
An elegant and beautiful artistic signature flowed from Eden's pen onto the paper. Hua accepted the signature, her face flushing with excitement. If someone were to listen to her flat chest, they could definitely hear the sound of her heart pounding.
As for the last girl, the black-haired Yin, Eden clicked her tongue inwardly, keenly aware of the secret about the girl's body. But... it was a private matter, and Eden had neither the right nor the need to interfere. She spoke gently with Yin as usual, ending the conversation amidst Yin's evasive gaze.
The talks then entered a crucial phase.
