Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 313: Strange Makeup Artist

Shang Junxiao and Duan Jianchuan hurried over and met up with Brother Song and the others.

They were upstairs, preparing some clothes for the venue and finalizing the setlist.

Normally, all this would have been done backstage at the concert, but because Shang Junxiao was late, they could only get ready at the company and then bring everything over together.

When they arrived, Brother Song and the others were almost frantic with busyness.

All because of Shang Junxiao.

So, as soon as Shang Junxiao appeared, Brother Song came over and gave him a thorough scolding.

The attitude was starkly different from the previous people’s.

Duan Jianchuan, on the other hand, seemed to thoroughly enjoy the scene.

"Yes, yes, it’s all my fault, all my fault..." Shang Junxiao kept bowing and nodding, his face full of apology.

After Brother Song finished scolding and saw his reaction, he said grumpily, "Alright, hurry up and take your guitar, we need to get going!"

Shang Junxiao quickly agreed, took his things, and set off for the concert venue with the main group.

Duan Jianchuan still followed along.

Shang Junxiao reported to Brother Song, simply saying that Duan Jianchuan was a relative.

To his credit, Brother Song was accommodating, giving Duan Jianchuan an internal ticket, and didn’t give Shang Junxiao’s relative a hard time over the earlier incident.

The group got ready and rushed to the concert venue, but they were still slightly behind schedule.

Upon entering the venue, they immediately ran backstage to do makeup, since each person had a solo performance segment before the final group song.

Therefore, those scheduled to perform earlier went ahead to rehearse.

Shang Junxiao was the last one; almost everyone else had gone to the front, leaving only the makeup artist with him and Duan Jianchuan.

"Mr. Shang, you arrived very late today, didn’t you?" The makeup artist was a girl wearing a mask, her face unclear, but her voice was sweet.

Anxious and somewhat remorseful, Shang Junxiao replied sheepishly, "I got held up with some things and came late."

The makeup artist smiled, took out a bottle of water, and offered it to Shang Junxiao, "I see Mr. Shang’s lips are so dry they’re almost cracking. You have to sing on stage later, so drink some water to moisten your throat first."

"Thank you." Shang Junxiao’s throat indeed felt as dry as a tinder, and he gratefully uttered his thanks before taking the bottle.

However, when taking the bottle, Shang Junxiao’s hand accidentally touched the makeup artist’s.

Immediately after, it felt as if a faint electric current surged from his fingertips straight into his heart.

For a moment, his heart seemed to be paralyzed.

Shang Junxiao shuddered, his heart pounding wildly. He looked up at the makeup artist in astonishment as his heartbeat accelerated and his body temperature rose uncontrollably.

But his reasoning told him something was amiss...

"What’s wrong, Mr. Shang?" Seeing him staring, the makeup artist smiled and pulled down her mask. "Do you feel unwell somewhere?"

Duan Jianchuan, who was waiting on the side, heard this and got up from his chair, quickly stepping forward.

Catching sight of his movement, the makeup artist suddenly reached out and placed her hand on Shang Junxiao’s.

Shang Junxiao felt as if his heart was about to leap from his throat.

His entire body stiffened, his heartbeat and blood flow accelerated, giving him the same sensation he used to get when he saw his idol appear.

Alarm bells went off in Shang Junxiao’s head.

However, at that moment, he seemed as if he had been struck by a paralysis spell, stiff and immobile.

Just as the makeup artist held his hand and Shang Junxiao’s heart trembled,

Suddenly, a golden light burst forth from his pocket.

Shang Junxiao also felt a wave of heat.

The makeup artist’s complexion changed dramatically, and she stepped back several paces in terror.

Shang Junxiao immediately felt his body relax a great deal and regained the ability to move.
