Chapter 3: Chapter 3

Gently and leisurely strumming the Guitar Shen Maoi started singing with a lazy but beautiful intonation voice.

A sound that is really beautiful, strong and charming came out of Shen Maoi mouth.

The control of the voice cannot be fault at the slightest...

The people listening to Shen Maoi was easily hooked up but not only because of the beautiful voice languid with laziness and charm but also because of the song itself, it was a kind of song never heard before.

***"Ain't got a soapbox I can stand upon

But God gave me a stage, a guitar and a song

My daddy told me: "Son, don't you get involved in

Politics, religions or other people's quarrels"

I'll paint the picture, let me set the scene

I know when I have children, they will know what it means

And I'll pass on these things my family's given to me

Just love and understanding, positivity

We could change this whole world with a piano

Add a bass, some guitar, grab a beat and away we go

I'm just a boy with a one-man show

No university, no degree, but Lord knows

Everybody's talking about exponential growth

And the stock market crashing in their portfolios

While I'll be sitting here with a song that I wrote

Saying: "Love could change the world in a moment, but what do I know?"

Love can change the world in a moment, hmmm.... but what do I know?

Love can change the world in a moment hmm... But what do I know?"***

Shen Maoi shrug her shoulder at the last part quite in sync with the song.

She sang the first stanza and chorus only as she find no reason to sing the whole song. Well she will do sing all the stanza when there will be around 500 listener.

'What do I know' written and sung by

Ed Sheeran also one of Shen Maoi favourite english singer.

(A/n: An interested party can check up the song on youtube up there 👆)

Shen Maoi was an english song cover artist, her english is naturally good as a mixed race, her mother is a British while her father is Chinese.

Shen Maoi has sing an English song more often than chinese plus in this world all the people speak in english because the author of <<Infinite Darkness>> is an American and maybe it may also be because he was too lazy to add or reasearch about other language so this universal language is used. So, naturally shen Maoi can't sing in chinese either.

The Osborne family was surprised apart from Shen Maoi voice the lyrics of the song is really out of the norm, it was an everyday life with no poetry feelings but it makes it even more what do we say 'Unique'.

The song says a lot though it may be just a simple word with no poetic intonation but 'it was deeper than what it looks'.

The song seem to particularly say: I'm not saying that everything is ok! But love can do change everything but what do I really know?

The song was humble, carefree, like an everyday life of a commoner or better yet a neutral party who doesn't get involve on politics or their religions or on the quarrel of people...

Like as if not involving in worldly affair but also live in worldly affairs.

This song also seem to particularly talk about love, as if love can change everything but also doesn't prove its theory by the word 'What Do I Know'? So as to make people not find any fault and saying 'Your wrong, Love can't change anything' because the singer itself said 'What do I know?'.

Ebony looked at Shen Maoi dumbfounded. After a few minutes

h

er eyes sparkled.

"Shen Maoi!!! What is that song name, Its really How to put it..... 'Unique'...yes Unique very Unique and beautiful, What is the song title?Did you write that song?"

Shen Maoi laugh at the excited girl.

"The song is called What Do I know, it was written by my Music God and No its not the God of Music but my Music God"

Shen Maoi answered, she was never a type who take liberties of people hard work, what others things are theirs and what hers belong only to her.

So, Shen Maoi can only say it was written By her Music God which Ed Sheeran literally is to her, her Music God and also because the system warn her not to divulge any name from the world she came from, not every name but the name of the song writer who she sing their song off.

Shen Maoi doesn't really understand such rules but as it is the system warning she can only comply.

Maybe the word God are a taboo to the people of this world, The Osborne family didn't inquire further but the look they gave her seem to changed.

As expected the sharpest person David asked her a question.

"Shen Maoi if it is not improper may I ask what is the God name of your God?"

The Osborne family look at her inquiringly though they try to hide, how can Shen Maoi not notice.

Ebony even have a small frown on her face, as a devotee of the God of Music how can she take it lightly when someone use the 'Music God' especially for things like bestowing a lyrics. Also there are no Music God apart from the 'God of Music' as far as they know.

(A/n: The God of this world are called God of Music, God of War, God of light etc etc....)

"System quick How will I answer? I don't have a God, I was just using an internet slang like 'Male God'to describe my Idol ah.... "

Shen Maoi asked mentally, she was just using those famous internet slang to decribe her idol but also because she cannot use 'Male God' she change to 'Music God'.

(A/n: what it meants are those internet slang like male god, male adonis, my heart, my beloved etc etc)

"Solve by yourself, Didn't you know that the word God is a taboo in this world"

The system metallic voice replied coldly.

Shen Maoi was really angry, what a Pig Teammate!!!

"You piece of Scrap Iron!! "

"System is a dimensional Data, a non-existence life form"

The system voice seem to be gloating as if laughing at Shen Maoi foolishness.

Shen Maoi really really really want to beat up the system.

Shen Maoi doesn't want to bother with the system anymore, she has more urgent work.

Shen Maoi quickly try to think of  making an excuse which will be also feasable of using it in the future. Using the name of God so lightly can cause that person to even be executed so Shen Maoi has to think carefully.

An Idea struck Shen Maoi and her eyes lit up.

"My God is called 'Hours Of Music'. "

A glint flash past David eyes. His eyes a few degree sharper.

Shen Maoi seeing David expression already knows that this David is no ordinary person. Also even The introverted Mr Osborne has a sharp inquiry gaze.

Heh..... The word God is really a taboo huh! Shen Maoi knows that if she didn't give a satisfactory answer this seemingly commoner family will not let her go but capture her and brought her to the court for interrogation.

This devotee to God! So troublesome!!

Shen Maoi also knows without any fighting ability she can't fight back even with her rejuvenating ability. 1v4 its clear what the outcome will be.

"I have never heard of The God name 'Hours Of Music'."

Shen Maoi as if acting not understanding the tense atmosphere answered in a serious but light tone.

"I have not known the God called 'Hours of Music' as well but on a certain day that Music God appeared on my dream bestowing me a lot of Music Lyrics entrusting me to travel around the World and spread the music lyrics he gave me, as for details of my dream and the God 'Hour Of Music' I am not allowed to divulge to other as the secret of heaven cannot be revealed"

Still seeing the untrusting looked on their eyes Shen Maoi feel like rolling her eyes. Sure enough even if they chat lively just a moment ago and they seem like an ordinary family, when it is comes to their taboo of the word God they are quite sharp and quick witted.

Well Shen Maoi at some point understand them.

As a person who read the book <<Infinute Darkness>> Shen Maoi clearly read how devoted and how religious and sacred they worship their God, it was particularly to the point of blindness.

Its not wrong to say that the God are their reverse scale.

"I swear in the name of the Gods that If I lie may lighting struck me to death"

ShenMaoi could only take this swearing measure because an Oath is taken heavily.

Anyway what she said are half truth and half a lie.

And Shen Maoi knows that she can't live willfully like in her original world where an Oath doesn't have that spiritual thing and where people make an oath lightly as they know that no adverse effect will happen if the oath vow is not fulfilled.

This world on the other hand have spiritual guidance not to mention a fantasy setting. So, any careless Oath might lead a problem. Because of this Shen Maoi take a precautionary measure by swearing in the name of the Gods but Shen Maoi is not a follower of the so called those God so the Oath doesn't work plus for her God meh~ it was her make-up God and not a real existence ,the so called Oath is now fully nullified.

The Osborne family ease up a lot.

"Its not that we try to force you to the extreme but as a follower of Gods our Gods name should not be used lightly not to mention an existence of a God

No one knows of , but if its a secret of heaven It must mean that its not meant to be said, I hope you understand and forgive our rude behaviour Shen Maoi!"

Mrs Osborne said, the previous tense atmosphere around her completely gone replace by the usual lively persona.

Shen Maoi understand but understanding and forgiving is a different matter.

The feeling she has where she has to rack her brain for her survival is not a pleasant thing at all.

Shen Maoi didn't speak much, she just nod her her head but didn't continue to speak further.

It was clear the harmonous atmosphere they previously had cannot be take back again.

Shen Maoi excuse herself to arrange a simple sleeping bedding provided by the Osborne family, Shen Maoi cannot willfully leave just as she like as she still need the help of the Osborne family to guide her towards the Moonlight Kingdom.

Shen Maoi was busy gazing at the star when she heard a system notification.

"Ding!!!!

A starter reward has been unlocked.

'Healing potion'x3: can heal injury external or internal completely within 10 seconds.

This reward was given to host as a reward for her first singing of the modern music."

Heh... Finally having some conscience....

"Thought that you will only give me a reward when I acquire 500 listener point, though this potion doesn't benefit me that much at least I can sell it at a high price"

Shen Maoi chuckle.

The system remain quiet after that not replying any of Shen Maoi comment.

I cannot help but compare the devotee of this world People to their so called God and the brain dead fans of a superstar from my modern world.
