The song concluded, and the theater was filled with enthusiastic applause that lasted for a long time.
——————
After leaving the ’Shell Grand Theater,’ it was already evening. Audrey continued to walk down the bustling streets with Tilan, introducing her to all the new things in the Central Star Domain, as well as the current trends, and hot projects.
By the time they returned, it was already past 9 p.m.
After both had taken a bath, they sat on the sofa and watched programs projected on the TV. It was then that Audrey remembered something.
"Tomorrow is the last day. Would Tilan like to visit the music company I’m with? It’s conveniently located in the ’Agleya District’."
"Sure." The girl also wanted to know how other songstresses participated in various activities and released their records.
"I feel that we get along quite well. Tilan, do you want to release a duet with me?" Audrey, drying her wet hair with a towel, asked Tilan.
"What kind of style is the song? I don’t know many at the moment." She had only been studying music professionally for a year and her experience was far less than Audrey, who had been trained from a young age.
"We can pick one when we get to the company. The collaborators have prepared many candidate songs for me, and I haven’t finished choosing yet."
Audrey said it wasn’t a problem, and then the two settled in for a good night’s rest. Tilan also gradually adapted to the gravity environment of other planets.
Overall, since most of the residential stars in the Federation were developed later on, planets with gravity not vastly different from Earth were selected at the beginning of the development. This allowed residents of the Federation to travel to any star without being significantly affected.
On the third day, Tilan and Audrey arrived at the famed ’Agleya District’ in the Flying Feather Star Domain. Agleya, one of the three graces in mythology, brought beauty and joy to the human world. Besides the ’Agleya District’, the ’Euphrosyne District’ in the Twin Trees Star Domain and the ’Thalia District’ in the Emerald Moon Star Domain were also well-known gathering places for artists.
After getting off the hover car, before she could even marvel at the variety of architectural styles, Tilan saw a bustling convoy passing through the sky.
The center of the convoy was a large whale float with a wavy shell stage on top of the whale’s head. A girl in a light blue bubble dress was singing into a microphone; along the route, a large number of spectators and media followed, with small Autonomous Units flying in the sky taking photos from all angles. The accompanying crowd occasionally burst into enthusiastic cheers and sang along.
Even from a distance, Tilan could feel a sense of youthful and happy emotions from the singing.
This was a songstress, but her abilities were probably not as good as Prin Coco’s, the girl estimated in her mind.
"Tilan, you noticed her too, right? That’s ’Azure Bubble’ Merulu." Today Audrey was wearing a beige sun hat and tea-colored sunglasses, with a golden wig draped around her—these were to avoid being recognized by passers-by.
"Let’s go inside first." She led the way for Tilan and then continued talking about ’Azure Bubble’ Merulu.
"Merulu awakened last year, she’s only a bit over 15 now. Her voice is sweet and cute, which makes her very popular."
After passing through a hall as pristine as glass, they entered an elevator on the side and soon arrived at Audrey’s exclusive music studio.
"Good morning~ everyone." Audrey took off her hat and wig and greeted everyone familiarly.
"Good morning~ Miss Audrey." Several staff members tuning instruments and drinking coffee responded, but they were even more curious about the girl standing next to Audrey.

With both hands gently on Tilan’s shoulders, Audrey pushed her in front of the crowd.
"Today, I’ve got a very important guest to introduce to all of you." Raising her voice slightly, and with the enhancement of her songstress abilities, she easily pierced through several rooms of the studio, drawing the attention of others who were either busy working or slacking off.
After about 20 seconds, once enough people had gathered, Audrey announced contentedly.
"This is my good friend, today’s partner, and also a songstress, Miss Hexia."
"Since her identity will not be officially announced until next Monday at the Federal Central Council, you’re getting a heads-up. Remember to keep it a secret."
"Yes, second miss." The people nodded and then eagerly turned their gazes to Tilan, filled with curiosity and anticipation.
Although concerts by songstresses were often held in the Central Star Domain and many songstresses came here to record or participate in activities, the number of songstresses was still too few compared to the vastness of the Federation, and many people never got the chance to meet a songstress in their lifetimes.
"Is Miss Hexia really a songstress?"
"Just by her looks, she’s no less than the miss; she must be formidable as well."
"Why hasn’t the second miss mentioned this friend before?"
"Perhaps she’s a new acquaintance?"
The people murmured quietly in the room, but the two young girls heard every word clearly.
"Ahem, settle down a bit. Although I usually let you all off the hook, today we do have a guest present." Audrey knocked on a small bell on the table beside her, silencing everyone instantly.
"Ande, are you there? Bring over the new songs ordered from ’Liuyin Studio’ that I need to pick out." Discover hidden stories at freewebnovel
"No problem, second miss." A man dressed in a suit with a sharp and efficient demeanor took out a locked briefcase from the adjacent room.
After entering his biometric information to unlock it, the gray metallic briefcase popped open, revealing an array of sealed memory chips inside.
