124 Chapter 124
"Don't think that staying by this man's side all the time is a sign of deep affection. In fact, you are just unwilling to give up." After Youlan finished speaking to the male guest, she turned around and began to speak to Mu Yuanyuan, her tone full of regret:
"When you first started dating him, did you feel like you had won? Did you think that as a disciple of the Hehuan Sect, you were more attractive than his sisters and junior sisters? But in the end, you didn't achieve your goal of showing off, and instead, you were always being snatched away by ordinary women. So your defenses were broken, right?"
At this point, Elder Youlan couldn't help but extend her index finger and fiercely poke Mu Yuanyuan's lowered head:
"You both want to use the other person's love to prove your own charm to the opposite sex. In a way, you two really are a match made in heaven!
As a disciple of the Hehuan Sect, you actually lost to such a philandering man and risked your life for him. Who is your master? How did she teach you?
Mu Yuanyuan was scolded so badly that she couldn't even raise her head. She no longer thought about deep love or change of heart. Her only thought now was that Elder Youlan must not complain to her master, and she would be willing to be single for the rest of her life.
Seeing that the pair of scumbags and resentful women were scolded by Elder Youlan and were as guilty and speechless as middle school students caught in premature love by the dean, Ning Shu cleared his throat and interrupted the situation before Elder Youlan could say "Call your master!"
"Ahem! Thank you Ms. Youlan for the relationship advice you provided to the male and female guests! I believe that with the help of our relationship experts, you two will have a new understanding of this confusing relationship! Now let's move on to our next step, the true choice!"
Facing Elder Youlan's dissatisfied gaze and Mu Yuanyuan's grateful eyes, Ning Shu could only bite the bullet and continue speaking:
"Please both guests return to the stage where you first appeared. I'll lower the curtain for an incense stick's worth of time. If you two no longer wish to continue your relationship, you may turn around and leave from the backstage area. If you still can't let go of this relationship, please remain where you are. Okay, please stand on the stage."
Mu Yuanyuan no longer had any of the reluctance and obsession she had just now. She almost ran to the stage as if escaping. Seeing her panic, no one was worried that she would stay any longer. The audience, who were originally angry at her for not fighting back, started to make fun of her.
"Hahaha, look at the female guest's back. What does it mean to flee in panic? I'm dying of laughter, hahaha!"
"Mu Yuanyuan: Don't look for my master! If you don't look for my master, I won't be with you anymore!"
"At first, I thought this was just another infuriating love story, but I didn't expect the tone to change so drastically at the end. Thanks to Sister Youlan!"
"Sister Youlan is so cool! With her, my master no longer has to worry about my love-struck mind!"
"Hahaha, look at the way Sister Youlan is staring at Ning Shu, filled with resentment at being interrupted!"
On the stage, Ning Shu also felt the resentful gaze of Elder Youlan, but she could only pretend not to know and waited for the countdown to end without looking away.
Ning Shu: What else can I do besides interrupting me? Is it okay to watch you turn a good variety show into a terrifying segment where the homeroom teacher talks to parents?
The incense stick on the big screen quickly burned out, and Ning Shu immediately raised an arm and announced, "Time's up! Open the curtain!"
As expected, the platforms on both sides were empty, and the sad background music sounded at the right time. It should have been a sad scene, but the barrage in the live broadcast room was filled with laughter.
"It's a breakup! It's finally a breakup!"
"Congratulations, young lady, on escaping the sea of suffering!"
"Hahaha, the young lady might have just carried the flying boat and ran away as soon as the curtain was lowered, not daring to stay for a moment."
"You think the man wasn't one of them? As soon as the curtain was lowered, both of them ran for their lives."
"Hahaha, so this is what it means when disaster strikes, everyone runs for their lives?"
"It seems that the fate of these two has come to an end. Let us wish them all the best in their future lives!" Ning Shu gave a brief summary of the previous pair of guests, and then immediately began to introduce the next pair of guests:
"This couple is a little different from the last one. This time, the man took the initiative to contact us and wanted to participate in the show. Okay, let's take a look at the problems they face!"
After the demonstration just now, the audience has become familiar with this process. After a similarly seemingly painful literary short film was played, a couple came up on both sides of the stage again. The woman was still a charming and attractive woman from the Hehuan Sect. After all, this was the first episode of the show, so of course they would focus on solving their own family problems.
"Then, may I ask this cultivator, what kind of problem has your relationship encountered?" Ning Shu looked at the male cultivator. He looked to be only a little over 1.6 meters tall, with a face full of a simple, honest and pitiful look. He blinked when he heard this, and a string of tears slid down his face.
"What else could it be? Of course it's because I don't want to break up with Adie! Adie, please, I'll agree to whatever you want, just don't leave me..."
He, a grown man, cried just like Mu Yuanyuan did just now. The whole scene was like a gender-swapped version of what happened just now.
So, this person came here to complain because he was deceived by the female cultivator of the Hehuan Sect?
Ning Shu couldn't help but feel guilty when she thought about how many disciples of the Hehuan Sect were out having affairs. She turned to look at the female cultivator on the other side who was already yawning out of boredom, and said in a slightly stiff tone, "Sister, could you please tell me the reason for your breakup?"
Please, don't tell me that you are having a life of luxury and having two affairs at the same time!
The pink-dressed woman named Ah Die had a face full of impatience: "We broke up because he lied to me! Damn it, I broke up with him a long time ago, but he's the one who keeps pestering me! If he hadn't come here this time, I wouldn't have even looked at him again!"
"Lie to you? How did he lie to you?" Ning Shu asked curiously.
Ah Die looked gloomy. When she heard the question, she sighed deeply, then opened her double-dwelling flower and showed everyone a photo: "We met online. He sent me a photo of me that looked like this."
On the screen was a handsome man with thick complexion, eyebrows flying into his temples, eyes like ink, and he looked to be at least 1.85 meters tall. He gently lifted up his clothes to reveal his well-defined abdominal muscles, and smiled evilly at the camera.
Ning Shu: ...
Are you really just kidding? Even if you jumped into an alchemy furnace and were remade, you wouldn't look like this, right?
The audience in the live broadcast room laughed so hard.
"Hahaha, the tea in my mouth almost spurted out. This is absolutely unexpected..."
"Before seeing the photo: How could this female cultivator be so fickle? That's too much! After seeing the photo: Ah Die, you're so pitiful, Ah Die!"
"Online dating is risky, so be cautious in person, fellow Taoists!"
The story of Adie and this male cultivator was very similar to the various cases Ning Shu had seen on Earth before. This male cultivator used the Rejuvenating Pill to change his appearance into a handsome man and went on an online romance with Adie. However, after they met, he didn't expect that Adie was a Jindan cultivator who was very difficult to fool. She saw through his disguise in just a few words.
"Adie, I believe you are not such a superficial person. We had a very good relationship before and often talked all night long..."
"You tricked me! If I had known you looked like this, I wouldn't have added you!"
"You clearly said before that appearance is not important..."
"I'm sorry, I was wrong. It was just a nice thing I said."
"Can't you just give me a chance..."
Seeing that the man was about to continue pestering her, Ning Shu quickly stepped forward to interrupt their quarrel. "Okay, let's move on to the emotional counseling session! Ms. Youlan, do you have anything to say about this?"
This time, Elder Youlan didn't give the long speech she had last time. She held her forehead with one hand and waved twice at the male cultivator: "Let's break up. If you dare to bother our disciples again, I will destroy your soul!"
"Hahaha, Sister Youlan: It's too shameful to watch.jpg"
"Who doesn't know that everyone in the Hehuan Sect is obsessed with looks? Where does this male cultivator get the nerve to be so obsessed with this?"
"Haha, you deserve to be frightened by the God Transformation Master. You said appearance is not important. Do you think you, a liar, are beautiful inside?"
The final result was naturally no surprise. Miss Adie ran away without looking back. The couples who came on stage later still had a variety of problems. Fortunately, there was an elder Youlan who was both civil and martial. The audience was not annoyed by the love-brain once. Instead, they followed Youlan's footsteps and had a great time watching.
"I feel so refreshed after watching this. Sister Youlan is really my best mouth substitute!"
"I've learned a lot, and it'll be easier for me to handle similar problems in the future!"
"Doesn't anyone else find this show hilarious? Especially that couple using fake photos to trick people..."
The ratings of this little-publicized variety show quickly approached those of the blind date variety show "If You Are the One". Many netizens also picked out more classic or incredible cases and added various incredible titles to attract countless people's attention.
"This is really beyond my expectations. I didn't expect that just two variety shows could achieve such an effect..." In a newly purchased store behind the cinema, Ning Shu looked at the new tree species planted in the flowerpot that had grown to more than half a meter long with a look of satisfaction:
"A lot of this should be attributed to you, Sister Youlan, right? Now your fame is on par with some small celebrities."
Elder Youlan had never thought that she could provide so much nutrients for the sacred tree by herself. Surprised, she no longer rejected Ning Shu's creations. She also looked at the half-human-high sapling with anticipation:
"If we continue to develop at this rate, as long as these two programs continue to air for a few years, the tree will grow into a tree. By then, our spiritual network will have another Chaoyin City within its reach."
The influence of television is not as great as that of the spiritual network, and if this area could also be connected to the Internet, the lives of the disciples would be more convenient.
"It won't take a few years, just a few months! By then, we will have another piece of territory!" Ning Shu simply waved his hand and greatly shortened the growth rate of the sacred tree.
"Do you have any new ideas?" Elder Youlan looked at him with a hint of curiosity. "Do you have any new variety shows coming up?"
Ning Shu's eyebrows curved slightly and she revealed a happy smile: "That's not the case. I just received news that the filming of the movie "Daughter Kingdom" is almost finished. I believe it will be put on the big screen and meet the audience soon!"
