Chapter 637 - Passionate Flames Part II
Jin Chonglin’s voice also hit the high notes, adding some growl to match the more intense melody and stronger beat.
"You looked like a phoenix
Risen from the ashes once more
I don’t even care about my body burning
You fill my mind every moment"
He helped Iris to her feet in a smooth dance move while she sang the next lines of the chorus.
"Even if you burn my life out
I will burn into passionate flames
Just like my love for you
Burning fiercer than ever before"
The fire phoenix on the big monitor spread its massive wings and began flying around the entire studio. Amazed exclamations sounded from the audience as they applauded the high-quality projection on the big studio’s walls and ceiling. However, their attention soon returned to their Prince Lin Lin and Boss Iris who sang and danced together on the burning stage.
"My heart is your possession
Yet I want it no other way
Your love filling my heart
Filling me completely
Just the way it’s supposed to be
So here we are bearing witness to love
My ring just like a collar"
By this point, the two looked like their bodies had been oiled. The flames on the stage became stronger, making them glisten even more. Their fans’ throats became dry as they watched the two move their amazing bodies to the beat of the music.
"Showing the world I’m yours
So gods bear witness to our love
And know interference will result in a price
No mortal or immortal could pay"
Iris Long jumped and Jin Chonglin caught her in a rumba-like move mixed with hip hop.
Jin Chonglin: "For you are mine, my love"
Iris Long: "And like my ring has told the world before"
Both: "I belong to you and only you~"
Their voices rose higher together.
Then higher.
And higher...higher...still higher until the final highest note.
Their pitches rose in a total of five semitone increments, making their fans burst into tears and goosebumps.
Jin Chonglin’s fans were especially proud of him because this was perhaps the first time that they heard him sing such high and sustained notes before. He really went above and beyond for this second music collaboration with Iris Long who was known for her impressive whistle notes.
After the deceptively simple yet highly demanding harmonized vocal acrobatics of the pair, the music changed as the hip hop element took over and the song entered a dance break. The back-up dancers retreated out of sight, leaving only Jin Chonglin and Iris Long alone together on the stage.
Then rain started pouring from the ceiling, immediately drenching the two of them. The once blazing fires surrounding them weakened to sputtering embers yet didn’t completely go out. At the same time, the huge monitor behind the stage lit up once again and a thunderous roar reverberated as a mighty flood dragon rose from the flooded floor.
Iris Long and Jin Chonglin danced under the pouring rain. Water splashed with their every step and spritzed with every turn. They thrust their hips and chests, rolled their bodies, and tossed their heads. Jin Chonglin even did a somersault while Iris Long twisted her hips in a belly dance-hip hop fusion move.
Just a few moments ago, they impressed everyone with their vocal mastery. Now, they were impressing everyone with their superb dancing skills.
A high-pitched roar sounded and the flames on the stage began burning fiercely once again. The fire phoenix flew back to the stage and the mighty flood dragon welcomed it with a deep, triumphant roar. As the projections of the two immortal creatures met and wrapped around each other like lovers, Iris Long and Jin Chonglin performed a series of powerful synchronized moves before ending the dance break.
By this time, plenty of the audience members had already fainted from overexcitement and overstimulation. One was even twitching on the floor and foaming in the mouth but still had a big smile on her face due to the happiness of witnessing such an epic performance.
Already anticipating such alarming scenes from past experiences when Jin Chonglin and Iris Long performed on the show before, the TV program had increased the number of first aid responders stationed in the studio. The people who fainted were quickly carried away and taken care of. However, a handful of them woke up in the middle of being carried away. They fought the first aid responders who were helping them because they wanted to return to their seats in order to watch the performance until the end. The responders were speechless but didn’t stop them because they too wanted to finish watching the amazing performance as well.
Back on the stage, the performance had now reached climax. The projections of the fire phoenix and the flood dragon roared together before flying upwards. Then fireworks exploded around the stage as the two immortal creatures disappeared.
The stormy rain had stopped and was replaced by a gentle drizzle instead. Even the blazing flames around the stage appeared softer. Then suddenly, a rainbow projection lit up in magical sparkles just above the performers on the stage, eliciting another wave of amazed exclamations from the audience.
Jin Chonglin and Iris Long sang the final lines of the song together, their pitches lighter and sweeter, yet still sounding passionate. Their powerful and intense dance moves also transitioned into slower and smoother movements.
"My heart is in your possession
Yet I want it no other way"
Iris Long looked directly into the camera and sang her heart out, conveying the words to the man she wanted to spend the rest of her live with. She knew that he was watching her on TV right now. Jin Chonglin sang with her but all she could think about was the older brother, Jin Liwei.
Her man, her lover, the one who always lit the passionate flames inside her.
"Filling me up completely
Just the way it’s supposed to be~"
The song finally ended.
Iris lifted her wrist and kissed her LX bangle, her lips touching the engraved dragon. The diamond ring on her finger sparkled under the spotlights.
