Chapter 65 Surprise Attack Challenge vs. Immortal Venerable Lanxue [2 Updates] "You know..."
The ten questions for Wen Yinhe and Lu Huaijin's group have now been answered.
So far, Wen Yinhe has only run a red light once.
This means that if any pair of guests can answer all ten questions without lying once, they will be the second pair in history to win first place, besides Wen Yinhe and Lu Huaijin.
But now that the show has been filmed for so long, almost nobody cares about the results anymore.
Everyone's heart is filled with nothing but a desire for gossip.
Zheng Shuming hadn't expected that even his tricky questions wouldn't stump the two of them in the slightest.
Like Shu Bao'er, he preferred to believe that the machine was broken rather than admit that such passionate and pure love truly existed in the world.
They couldn't do it themselves, so they assumed that no one else could either.
Perhaps because they had suffered too much frustration with Wen Yinhe and Lu Huaijin, when it was the next pair of guests' turn, they finally found someone to vent their anger on and went all out once again.
Shu Bao'er: "How many people have you worked with in total?"
Jiang Hengchuan: "Huh? What kind of question is this? Who would bother to count? I'm speechless. I don't know, but it should be over a hundred."
Beep! The green light turns on.
The comments section was filled with disdain:
[Holy crap! This is so dirty! Rotten cucumber, get out!]
Tao Miller's eyes flickered: "Maybe... five or six?"
Beep! Red light!
Jiang Hengchuan immediately looked at him with sharp eyes.
Tao Miller licked his lips, then awkwardly corrected himself, "I misremembered, I misremembered, it was actually seven or eight..."
Beep! Red light!
Everyone stared wide-eyed at Tao Miller with anticipation and excitement.
Tao Miller never expected that this lie detector could be so persistent; he thought that after answering once, the light wouldn't come on a second time!
"Sorry, I misremembered again," Taumiller cursed inwardly, but had to maintain a weak and submissive demeanor on the surface. "There should be... thirty, thirty or forty..."
The guests below almost burst out laughing.
There's a significant difference between seven or eight and thirty or forty people; it seems everyone had a bit of wishful thinking when they first sat down.
The comments section was also filled with shock:
【What the hell... what a rotten chrysanthemum?! ???】
[I should have told you to lock them up!]
Jiang Hengchuan's gaze toward Tao Miller suddenly turned so fierce that he seemed to want to devour him alive, as if he were wearing thirty or forty green hats shining brightly on his head at this very moment.
Tao Miller met Jiang Hengchuan's violent and sinister gaze, shrank back in fear, and confessed with teary eyes:
"But husband, you have to believe me, my relationships with those people have always been purely physical. I've never loved anyone in my life, you're the only one..."
Beep! The red light is on!
Tao Miller froze, cold sweat instantly streaming down his face. He frantically tried to figure out which word had caused the problem, and hurriedly began to explain:
"I'm sorry, my love. Perhaps I did have feelings for others without realizing it, but after meeting you, I realized that I can never be attracted to anyone but you..."
Beep! Red light!
Tao Miller was on the verge of tears, trembling as she spoke under Jiang Hengchuan's murderous glare: "No, no, no matter how dirty and ugly my past was, you are my only one now! Husband, you are the only one for me now!"
Beep! The green light has finally come on!
Taumiller slumped into the chair, utterly exhausted, and let out a long sigh of relief. His heart was still pounding, and his back was soaked with sweat in just a few seconds. This first problem alone had taken the brunt of his exhaustion.
As for Jiang Hengchuan, if it weren't for the lie detector chair handcuffing him, he probably would have already rushed up to Tao Miller and grabbed him by the neck.
[Hahahaha, nine out of ten sentences are lies, and the other one is half true, right? You're practically setting a red light from the moment you open your mouth!]
[They're so self-aware! I'm so touched. How can a guest ask themselves questions? Hahahaha!]
[Little internet celebrity, you're making me laugh so hard. I think you'd better not speak carelessly anymore.]
Taumiller realized this as well, and from then on, he rarely spoke except to answer the questions themselves.
However, it seemed that Shu Bao'er and Zheng Shuming had caught him off guard with this first question, and every subsequent question hit him right where it hurt.
Shu Bao'er: "Between 100 million in cash and the other party, who would you choose?"
Jiang Hengchuan: "One hundred million."
Beep! Green light.
Taumiller: "My husband..."
Beep! Red light!
Tao Miller immediately smoothed things over: "Because I already have my husband, I don't need to make a choice anymore, but after I have 100 million, it will be our joint property!"
Zheng Shuming: "If the other person turned into a cockroach, would you still love them?"
Jiang Hengchuan made a disgusted expression and quickly said, "No way!"
Beep! Green light.
Taumiller's features almost contorted: "Uh, yes..."
Beep! Red light!
Tao Miller tearfully pleaded, "I'm sorry, my husband. Forgive me for not being perverted enough to cross the gap between species and fall in love with you as a cockroach. If I were to become a cockroach, I would definitely be with you again without hesitation."
Shu Bao'er: "Do you love him as a person, or his money?"
Tao Miller had no money at all, so Jiang Hengchuan's answer this time was unusual: "People."
Unexpectedly, after experiencing so many red lights, Taumiller suddenly decided to take a different approach and proactively answered "money," thus taking control of the interpretation.
"Money is also part of my husband. I love his money, which means I love him as a person. Being rich is his advantage and part of his personal charm. Rich men are the most handsome. I am fascinated by the rich man in front of me."
The most absurd thing is that such outrageous sophistry actually pleased Jiang Hengchuan, who exuded an indescribable arrogance and confidence, as if he had earned the money himself.
With Zheng Shuming and Shu Baoer, these two cannons, going crazy and bombarding the audience, the other guests don't need to fight back. They can just sit comfortably on the sofa and watch the show.
[The "stomach-nourishing man" and the young idol are at it again! Finally, he can get his revenge, right?!]
[If you don't understand, just ask! Am I watching a brain teaser game right now? Hahaha, every answer is unexpected!]
[The rich kid is blatantly a scumbag, and the internet celebrity's mouth is truly amazing—her brain speed and on-the-spot reactions are incredible!]
Lu Huaijin couldn't help but clap his hands, but Wen Yinhe quickly grabbed his hand and took it away, tightening his grip on his restless fingers.
"Taumiller's ability to adapt to changing circumstances is too strong. In fact, he is very smart. He would be better at anything than doing this job," Wen Yinhe couldn't help but start analyzing the character again.
It's clear that he genuinely admires Taumiller to some extent.
“His voice is good, although it’s too forced. His natural voice is obviously not like that. If he weren’t so affected, he could try being a host.”
He paused for a moment, then added carefully:
"It's okay to be pretentious. As an entertainment program host, he makes everyone laugh as soon as he opens his mouth. He's quite funny."
The last word was so hilarious that Lu Huaijin couldn't help but burst out laughing on the spot. He grabbed Wen Yinhe's arm and shook it playfully:
"That's enough, stop teasing me, my stomach hurts..."
Even he sometimes couldn't tell whether Wen Yinhe was having a serious conversation or just joking on purpose.
This kind of sudden, dry humor is really hard to handle; it's good for building abs.
Lu Huaijin had some doubts about whether Wen Yinhe was cunning, but when he met his clear and innocent eyes, Lu Huaijin understood.
So he's naturally dark-skinned.
Wen Yinhe blinked slowly, looking confused.
In fact, he often had no idea why Huai Jin would suddenly laugh, just as he didn't know why Huai Jin would sometimes suddenly feel desire for him.
In his view, he was just talking as usual.
He only spoke his mind, expressing his most genuine feelings at the time.
However, since Huai Jin laughed, he laughed along with him, simply because Huai Jin had laughed.
Huai Jin has desire for him, and he'll be ecstatic. No matter who sparks it first, they only need a glance from each other to ignite a fire instantly.
Wen Yinhe suddenly placed his palm on Lu Huaijin's stomach and gently rubbed it through his clothes.
Lu Huaijin's smile faltered slightly: "What are you doing?"
"Didn't you say your stomach hurt?" Wen Yinhe looked at him sincerely, a hint of worry in his eyes. "Let me rub it for you, will that make you feel better?"
Lu Huaijin felt as if the hand wasn't rubbing his stomach, but rather kneading his heart, gently clenching and releasing it, leaving him limp and lifeless.
This person is really...
How can you believe everything he says?!
"Oh, this is just a metaphor..." Lu Huaijin looked at Wen Yinhe's stunned face, which then turned red. He quickly grabbed Wen Yinhe's hand, which was about to pull away, and forced it to his stomach. The smile in his eyes was almost overflowing. "Hey, it's okay, you can rub it. My stomach hurts, even if it doesn't hurt, it has to hurt."
[Hahahaha, the movie star is so brainless, believing every word President Lu says. I seriously doubt that even if President Lu suddenly said he was an alien, the movie star would freeze for a second before anxiously and pitifully asking, "Will you give it back? If you're leaving, can you take me with you? QAQ"]
【!! My average chef skills are so bad, I'm getting free meals from outsiders too! (?)】
[Actually, you have a real talent for comedy, did you know? Every time you sit there seriously analyzing this and that, I get a strange sense of humor from you...]
[What kind of praise is "Quite Funny"? Hahaha, I can't stop laughing! Is the actor a natural comedian?!]
When only one question remained, An Zicheng, having had his fill of watching the action, probably felt that the two fighter jets weren't exciting enough. Suddenly, he stood up abruptly, and to everyone's astonishment, shoved Zheng Shuming and Shu Bao'er aside, his face full of disgust, and said:
"Oh dear, you two are no good, let me ask."
His bright eyes darted restlessly towards the two people sitting in the lie detector chair in front of him, a malicious smile playing on his lips. He dropped the bombshell right off the bat:
"Have you ever faked orgasms or said one thing but meant another during sex? For example, even if you weren't really enjoying it, he would roll his eyes and say, 'Honey, this is so good! You're so amazing!'"
Xiao's face flushed red at these suggestive words. He abruptly pulled An Zicheng down and slapped him on the shoulder with a "smack."
"What are you saying, you little kid!"
The other guests widened their eyes in excitement, their faces showing expressions of anticipation.
Oh wow.
[Wow, I almost forgot about this! Young people really do have sharper minds!]
[Tsk tsk, I can't criticize them, they've actually watched our show.]
Jiang Hengchuan could not possibly have faked it; the green light indicated that he was not lying.
Tao Miller had been relieved that he could finally be free since there was only one question left, but when he heard An Zicheng's ridiculous question, his heart suddenly skipped a beat and his scalp tingled.
Taumiller practically wanted to rush up and bite these people to death.
What grudge do they hold against him? Why are they all suddenly targeting him?
He didn't provoke anyone!
Tao Miller glared at An Zicheng with resentment. In those few seconds, his brain was working at lightning speed, and sweat poured down his face like a river. His tension was no less than that of someone who had only one minute left to write the essay in the Chinese exam but still had a hundred words to write.
It seems like there's still time, but it could cost lives.
"I...have."
Finally, under extremely high pressure, Taumiller managed to finish his Chinese composition at the very last second before the bell rang.
When the green light came on, Taumiller was not lying.
The guests below all showed expressions of "I knew it," "Just as I thought," "Awesome," and "Finally, we've been waiting for this line," clearly enjoying the spectacle.
An Zicheng was so excited that he jumped up on the spot, bent his elbows, clenched his fists, and slammed his elbows down hard into the air:
"Yes!!!"
Tao Miller was barely able to control his expression. His distorted gaze at An Zicheng looked like that of a ghost, and his resentment was so intense it felt like he could strangle An Zicheng.
However, he had an even more important matter to attend to.
"Honey, don't misunderstand. This really isn't your fault. You're really amazing. It's my... it's my problem."
The thought of what he was about to say made Taumiller feel like he was about to shatter, but he gritted his teeth, steeled his resolve, and burst into genuine tears, weeping bitterly for his soon-to-be-broken chastity:
"I'm sorry, honey. I've been hiding something from you all this time that I find hard to talk about. Actually... I have an extremely high sex drive and an incredibly strong desire. My cravings in that area far exceed those of most people, and I can't seem to satisfy them. That's why I made a mistake in the past. I really didn't mean to look for someone else. It's just that I was so... unbearably thirsty, sob."
After he finished speaking, the entire room fell into an eerie silence.
With a heart filled with despair, Taumiller slowly closed his eyes, shattering into pieces on the ground.
Ignore him and let him die first.
The next second.
Wen Yinhe, his face flushed, slowly raised his hands, covering Lu Huaijin's eyes with one hand and his own eyes with the other.
It's unbearable to look at.
Lu Huaijin gripped Wen Yinhe's hand so tightly it trembled violently, feeling an indescribable mix of emotions, and he was almost going crazy from holding it in.
Du Ruopu let out a confused "Huh?"
The remaining few people were thinking "Holy crap!" to each other.
An Zicheng jumped up on the spot, covering his head with both hands and running around the huge living room frantically: "Ahhhhh what did I just hear? My ear! My ear!"
To Taumiller's utter dismay, the green light turned on again at that very moment!
This proves... that what Taumiller just said... was true...
Tao Miller wished he could eat that rotten chair right out of his seat!
This is insane!!!
[Help! Hahahaha, I really burst out laughing! I suddenly feel so sorry for those little internet celebrities! To appease this silly rich kid, they've even started making fun of themselves as black holes!]
So, is it that the rich kid is too short, or that the internet celebrity eats too much? There are more and more unsolved mysteries this season (cheek resting on hand)
After being stunned for a good ten seconds, Jiang Hengchuan suddenly looked Tao Miller up and down with an expression as if he were seeing him for the first time. Finally, his astonished and shocked gaze landed on Tao Miller's fidgety backside, and he opened his mouth in a hoarse voice:
"Baby, I never expected you..."
He paused, everything unspoken.
After a long while, it all boiled down to a sound that twisted and turned a hundred times:
"Tsk..."
As for the nine questions with less-than-ideal answers, he didn't care much about them.
Compared to the bombshell revelation that followed Taumiller, all of those pale in comparison.
Tao Miller's face turned completely black, and his whole body was trembling violently. He looked like he was about to turn evil, as if he wanted to detonate the earth.
Destroy the world!
[Someone please save this minor internet celebrity; he looks like he's already dead.]
[Hahahaha, this couple is truly in a love-hate relationship! I can't really ship them, but they're really good at it! Isn't this even better than a comedy show?!]
Next up are Du Ruopu and Shu Baoer.
Shu Bao'er had just offended Tao Miller, and now she was suffering retaliation from Tao Miller, who was in a state of madness.
Do you still not feel that you have done anything wrong, but instead feel that the other party is ungrateful and doesn't know what's good for them?
Do you feel that your partner is just a sex object with a great body and good sex skills, and you can't be bothered to care about their feelings?
"Is the reason you can't leave the other person not because you love them, but because you can't bear to give up the benefits they bring you? Because you know very well that without them, you will have nothing, and you will be the one who is truly unwanted and worthless?"
Shu Bao'er, her eyes red, roared in despair:
"no!"
"I don't!"
That's not true at all!!!
Red light, red light, red light...
All red lights!
[I can't take it anymore! That little internet celebrity is the MVP! What a sharp and sarcastic mouth she has! I'm going all out! Every word she says is like a knife stabbing right into my heart!]
[Tsk tsk tsk, that's so tragic, how could it be so tragic? I can hardly bear to watch (my eyes are wide open like saucers) (Little internet celebrity, well done!)]
[I'm dying of laughter, you guys are just going to hurt each other like this!]
After asking ten questions, Shu Bao'er's originally pretty features were completely distorted. Her knuckles were bluish-white from clenching her fists so tightly that her nails dug deep into her palms. Her gaze at Tao Miller was like an icy blade, as if she wanted to pierce him through.
Almost all of his questions were in the red, even worse than Taumiller's results.
His round was supposed to be over, but unexpectedly, Xiao Jue, sitting below the stage, suddenly raised a long, beautiful hand, looked at him coldly, and spoke in a low voice:
"I'm going to launch a surprise attack. My target is Shu Bao'er."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then their eyes lit up.
Holy crap, this is going to be even more interesting!
Shu Bao'er's face turned deathly pale in an instant, her eyes filled with disbelief and a deep-seated fear.
He's a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong. He dares to take advantage of Du Ruopu's love for him and beat and kick her at will.
Faced with the powerful and imposing Xiao Jue, he didn't even dare to meet his gaze.
Tianyin's excited voice rang out from above:
"Okay, now we can see that one of our surprise attack guests has made a surprise attack request to the divorce guests on stage! Now our original game progress is interrupted, and we officially begin our first surprise attack match!"
"Please have the surprise guest and the chosen surprise target sit together on the two lie detector chairs. You will have five chances to ask each other questions. If the divorced guest lies, the corresponding points will be deducted and added to the final score."
"The Seven Year Itch Season 2, Round 1: Surprise Attack, is now officially underway!"
[Wow, is this some kind of big event? I'm getting all excited! Ali, you really know how to liven things up!]
[Hahahaha, I've developed a habit of laughing whenever I hear the word "surprise attack," and the thought that I'm watching a dating reality show makes me laugh even harder.]
[Great! Great! Let's fight! Why do latecomers surpass their predecessors? Because they compete and vie for power!]
Xiao Jue's lips were sharp and devoid of warmth. His gaze towards Shu Bao'er was cold and piercing, filled with scrutiny and pressure, like a sharp dagger determined to penetrate all lies and pretense.
"Did you know before the incident that you would encounter that group of thugs on your way home from school?"
"Were those thugs hired by your family?"
"Did you bring in that group of thugs to intimidate Mr. Du and make him leave you?"
"You didn't willingly take the knife for Mr. Du back then. The thugs accidentally stabbed the wrong person in the chaos, right?"
Shu Bao'er was so frightened by Xiao Jue's aggressive attitude that she kept backing away, but she was firmly handcuffed and had nowhere to escape. She could only desperately shrink into the narrow chair, screaming like a madwoman with red eyes. Her trembling voice was filled with guilt and panic at being exposed in public.
"No...I don't know!"
"No, they have absolutely no relation to our family!"
"I didn't... I didn't! We don't know any thugs at all! I don't know anything about them!"
"No... I did it willingly! I did it willingly! I love him!"
Red light, red light, red light, and more red light.
The successive red lights stung Shu Bao'er's eyes. The color had completely drained from his lips, his jaw was trembling, and the fear surging within him was about to overwhelm his reason.
Xiao Jueshen's cold and sharp eyes were locked on Shu Bao'er's terrified and pale face like a beast, as if he were pressing down on Shu Bao'er's fragile throat with sharp claws, making the blood in Shu Bao'er's body scream to escape.
"Your family knew this was a case of intentional assault, and you were afraid Mr. Du would discover the truth, so you rushed to get married. You even took advantage of Mr. Du's guilt, brainwashing and oppressing him to make it easier to extract benefits from him..."
Every word Xiao Jue spoke transformed into a sharp blade, piercing straight into Shu Bao'er's chest. His voice, like tightening claws, relentlessly pressed him with each word:
Tell me, is it or isn't?
Shu Bao'er's breathing was heavy and hot, accompanied by an uncontrollable tremor. As if driven to the brink of despair, she arched her back and struggled frantically, oblivious to the fact that her wrists were being rubbed raw.
"No...no! It's not what you're saying! I don't know anything! I never even thought of that! I didn't! I said I didn't do it! I didn't!!!"
One last question—red light!
The entire audience was horrified.
No one expected that the seemingly unbalanced relationship between Du Ruopu and Shu Baoer actually concealed a hidden truth that violated the law.
[Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! I knew it! There really was something fishy about those thugs back then!!!]
[However, it seems the young master is playing a mystery game with the turtle soup, hahaha]
Since Shu Bao'er's mental state had completely collapsed and she was utterly incapable of asking Xiao Jue any more questions, Xiao Jue walked down unhurriedly, without disturbing a single hair on his head from beginning to end.
Shu Bao'er had to end the game early and was helped to his room by staff to rest.
On the way out, he was still like a madman, clutching his head and crying desperately, "I didn't," "I don't know anything."
But everyone inside and outside the live stream knew that his whole family was completely finished, and when Xiao Jue returned, they would face legal punishment.
As long as Xiao Jue is in charge, Shu Bao'er will never be able to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry.
His entertainment career has come to an end.
This variety show may be his last peak before retiring from the entertainment industry.
After this round of games, the one who suffered the most was Du Ruopu, the person who was deceived and exploited.
Xiao Jue sat quietly beside him, tentatively extending a hand and gently placing it on the back of Du Ruopu's hand with tenderness and affection.
Du Ruopu's hand trembled slightly, and his eyes instantly reddened, but he did not pull his hand away.
Xiao Jue immediately put his arm around one of his shoulders, took off his glasses, and took out the handkerchief that Du Ruopu had used in the bar. Ignoring his suddenly flushed face, he forcefully and domineeringly wiped away his tears.
[Sigh, Kapibala is truly pitiful. So many years of marriage, giving his all—financially, physically, and emotionally—and this is the bloody truth he gets in return. It's so tragic!]
Fortunately, now the young master is spoiling the honest man rotten. Look at his broad shoulders, strong physique, beast-like eyes, and domineering aura. Park, you no longer need to be a soulless massage machine, because Jue, who loves you, has arrived!
I'm laughing so hard I almost threw up. I can't beat you guys who rely on pure talent even when I'm giving it my all...
[Waaaaah, I'll never criticize Ali again! Ali, you've done so much good! You saved Kapibala and the young master from that scumbag's clutches! You really deserve to make money!]
The last pair to go on stage were Xiao Ye and Zheng Shuming.
Zheng Shuming had just criticized Tao Miller, so in this round, they were also completely outmatched by Tao Miller.
"Were you precocious as a child? Did you dream of living the life of a rich person from a young age, so you deliberately seduced someone who was still young, even though you didn't genuinely like him and were only after his money?"
"Have you always wanted to cheat on your partner, but you didn't dare because their family was watching you?"
"If it were possible, wouldn't you really want to take all their family's assets for yourself, and then spend your days indulging in a life of pleasure, even throwing a lavish party?"
[Little Internet Celebrity: Hunting Time Has Arrived!!!]
[What the heck is this "silver party" thing?! Seriously though, can he even pull it off? (Laughs while covering mouth)]
[Just take some drugs... I feel like a scumbag like Yang Wei Nan, if it weren't for the Xiao family's constraints, could be sent to jail at any time... (looks away)]
Despite Zheng Shuming's complete negative answers, unsurprisingly, all the lights turned red.
Moreover, after their round ended, An Zicheng couldn't wait to launch a surprise attack on Zheng Shuming.
His question was even more interesting:
"Do you know you're short and fast?"
Have you ever felt inferior because of your sexual function?
Have you ever secretly taken Viagra?
Do you last five minutes each time?
"Is your length 12 centimeters when you stand up?"
Zheng Shuming's face turned pale and then red, and his gaze at An Zicheng was like a poisoned blade, wishing he could rush up and tear his contemptuous smile to shreds.
As expected, all five of his answers were negative.
An Zicheng immediately burst into laughter without restraint. If his hands hadn't been handcuffed, he would have pointed at Zheng Shuming's nose and laughed at him.
Zheng Shuming's face was contorted with humiliation, even twitching slightly, while his face burned intensely. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, his dignity was shattered. Extreme shame and overwhelming anger mixed together, eventually turning into a vicious and hateful rage.
[Wow, every strike is deadly, every strike draws blood! So this is how the game is played; they've even added psychological attacks!]
[This little brother really dares to say what he thinks, hahaha! I feel like someone here is about to go crazy. Let's banish him to the cold palace! Perfect timing to keep our already driven idol company, hahaha!]
When it was Zheng Shuming's turn, he asked the exact same question as An Zicheng in return:
How long are you?
How long do you last each time?
Have you done it with anyone else?
An Zicheng, chin in hand, replied leisurely:
"First question, my length is the same as my age, you can decide how long yourself. Second question, I last half an hour at a time, and if the foreplay is long enough, an hour is not out of the question. As for the third question..."
At this point, An Zicheng suddenly paused, giving Zheng Shuming a disdainful look.
"I just turned 18 last month. Before that, I was still a minor. How could I have been with someone so quickly? What are you thinking? That's so disgusting! Besides, I already have someone I like. How could I go looking for someone else? Do you think I'm as scum as you? My body and soul belong only to my brother Aye!"
The green light turned on, indicating that An Zicheng's answers were all true.
An Zicheng looked down at Xiao Ye with a smug expression. His clear eyes were so bright and dazzling. When he focused his gaze on Xiao Ye, the depths of his pupils showed the passionate love of a young man full of vigor: "Brother A Ye, do you think I'm amazing?"
Sitting below, Xiao suddenly blushed bright red, feeling as if the stool beneath him was on fire, the flames shooting up his spine and up to his forehead, making him extremely uncomfortable.
He never dreamed that one day he would be listening to the children he had watched grow up discussing how long they actually lived in a public place!
[Hahaha, this is truly a complete and utter defeat!]
[Scumbag, utterly defeated!]
[Tsk tsk, the "stomach-nourishing man" is simply incomparable to the "diamond man"! Comparing their problems side-by-side makes the situation even more dire!]
Zheng Shuming watched helplessly as his former wife flirted with a young man in front of him. A burning sourness and jealousy suddenly rose in his heart, churning and steaming in his chest, scalding his heart with pain, and making his face contort with hatred.
"But your brother Aya doesn't only have you in his heart and soul..."
Zheng Shuming had been consumed by overwhelming jealousy, his bloodshot eyes staring maliciously at An Zicheng, a sinister smile spreading across his lips, his hoarse voice sounding like a venomous tongue spitting out its venom.
"Your brother Aye has been with me for so many years, he's completely filthy, don't you feel disgusted at all? Haven't you ever felt even a little bit repulsed?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.
Even the usually gentle and friendly Wen Yinhe couldn't help but darken his face and clench his fists in anger.
Attacking a person's chastity and insulting their body based on their sexual experience is the most despicable and vile tactic.
Of course, those like Jiang Hengchuan and Tao Miller who engage in rampant casual sex are a different story.
"Damn it, I hate disgusting things the most!" Perhaps it had been too long since he had punched someone, but Lu Huaijin suddenly felt his fists were itching intensely.
Fortunately, the most excited person at the scene had already rushed over, chair in hand, and kicked Zheng Shuming hard in the stomach with his long leg.
Zheng Shuming gagged painfully, and his entire body, along with the chair, slid back a full three meters.
Before he could react, An Zicheng kicked him hard in the face again. Zheng Shuming even vaguely heard the sound of his jawbone shifting. This time, the kick made his chair spin around in place, and he even felt a sense of terror that his head was about to hit the ground.
"An Zicheng! You stay put and don't move!"
Xiao reacted immediately after An Zicheng kicked him twice, rushed over and pulled An Zicheng away. Then, finally unable to hold back, he slapped Zheng Shuming across the face for the first time in all the years since the show was recorded.
With a sharp "smack," Zheng Shuming's head was slapped so hard it tilted to the other side.
Zheng Shuming's head was buzzing when he heard Xiao Ye suddenly yell in his ear, "Looks like you know you're dirty, huh? You piece of shit, you stomach-nourishing bastard, go to hell!"
"Xiao Ye! You stay here and don't move!" Xiao Jue walked over a step slower than Xiao Ye, pulled Xiao Ye away, and then slapped Zheng Shuming across the face.
"This slap is what you owe Xiao Ye."
Xiao Jue works out regularly, so his arms are strong and powerful. His strength when lifting weights is far greater than Xiao Ye's, and he is very skilled at slapping people.
Another slap landed, accompanied by a strong gust of wind.
It was less like a slap on the face and more like the bone below the wrist slamming into the jawbone.
The force of those two slaps was not much less than that of An Zicheng's kick.
"This slap is something you owe the Xiao family."
After a moment of shock, the production crew shuffled forward, hurriedly surrounding Xiao Jue, and said in a monotone, emotionless voice:
"Mr. Xiao, stop hitting him, stop hitting him..."
[Hahaha, the production crew, could you have been any more perfunctory!]
[Holy shit!!! That scumbag is disgusting!!! It makes me want to vomit!!! When I'm rich, I'm definitely going to buy a phone with a screen that pops out of the casing, so I can just stick my hand in and slap him to death!!!]
[I'm currently slaying a "scumbag boyfriend" in "The Seven-Year Itch," come help me cut one too! Copy this text and share it in the live stream comments or chat to participate. Come help me cut one!]
[While this scumbag is still immobilized, let's each go and chop him up!]
[Knife][Knife][Knife][Knife]
The scene had descended into chaos.
Almost everyone rushed to the front and surrounded Zheng Shuming, who was handcuffed to the chair, trying to reach out their hands whenever they could.
Zheng Shuming wasn't sure if he was still dazed from the beating, but he had a feeling that it wasn't just Xiao Jue who was hitting him...
Wen Yinhe clearly saw that when no one was paying attention, Lu Huaijin secretly stretched out a long leg and kicked Zheng Shuming's shin hard, leaving a bright footprint.
Wen Yinhe: "..."
Now that things have come to this, Tianyin had no choice but to apologize to the viewers in the live stream:
"I'm so sorry, as you can see, there's been a little friction on set. But don't worry, the staff will handle it right away. During this time of practice, let me sing a song for you!"
"I'm starting to understand—some people are born with a sleazy attitude. They're not very capable, yet they're always scheming. They should use that time to think about why they're so worthless."①
[Shocking! This is the first time I've ever heard a heavenly voice sing to me on a variety show... Ali, do you still remember you're on a dating reality show? It's getting more and more abstract!!!]
They kept saying they'd take care of it right away, but why didn't anyone put the jerk off the chair? Hahahaha!
[I can't take it anymore... Tianyin's weird, sarcastic voice combined with the chaotic background visuals is just too hilarious, hahaha! Your lyrics are so fitting!!!]
[Sorry, I'm new here. I'm just asking because I don't know anything. Are we having team building activities right now? (scratching head)]
That's right! Everyone's playing a game called "Beating Up the Jerk" right now!
The whole scene is in complete chaos again, everyone hurry up and drink it while it's hot!
Finally, Zheng Shuming was helped by the staff to his room to have the medicine applied.
The last two surprise attack matches were incredibly exciting, and everyone was thoroughly entertained.
Even if no one cares about the so-called achievements, Tianyin still needs to diligently announce:
"The sixth game—the Lie Detector Challenge—has officially ended! The standings are as follows: First place: Wen Yinhe and Lu Huaijin, with only one red light. Second place: Jiang Hengchuan and Tao Miller, with a total of four red lights. Third place: Xiao Ye and Zheng Shuming, and Du Ruopu and Shu Bao'er are tied; both divorce groups have ten red lights each, plus the five red lights from the surprise attack round, for a total of fifteen red lights."
"Are you all satisfied with your and your partner's rankings in this round? Let's all applaud your and your partner's (or ex-husband's) outstanding performance in the sixth game!"
"Today's games were quite mentally taxing, and everyone must be starving by now. But in a way, you've also had your fill of entertainment. Now you can go back to your rooms and rest for a bit. The staff is preparing a delicious lunch for you. You can still use the rest of your time as you please."
[Tianyin's lines have changed! They're now "lover or ex-husband," haha, so precise!]
Ah, I've finished watching all the games for today. I'm so reluctant to say goodbye.
[According to the usual rules, the movie star and President Lu will probably go back to their room next... hehehe~]
However, unexpectedly, Tianyin's tone suddenly changed this time.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot to mention that due to the special nature of tomorrow's game, married guests, please go back to your rooms to pack your personal belongings after lunch. One guest will need to move out of the room they were originally sharing. Each guest will be separated, and you will not be allowed to go out freely after that. Dinner will be delivered to your rooms by staff."
"In addition, our live broadcast today will be temporarily suspended after lunch and room assignments will be made, and will resume on time at 9:00 am tomorrow."
"A new game awaits you all tomorrow morning at nine o'clock. See you there!"
The screen was instantly filled with question marks in the comments:
[What?! (Holds a knife tightly to the production crew's neck) What did you just say you were going to do?! Say it again if you dare!!]
[Broadcast cancelled?! Ahhhhhh! No way! This is my daily sustenance! I can't feel at ease until I see my little couple going in and having sex every day! How am I supposed to live today?!]
[Damn, this is the first time in two seasons that the show has been suspended. Looks like the production team is really planning something big!]
[Alright, alright, you'd better have a big surprise in store for us!]
[Holy crap... I suddenly had a wild idea: wouldn't it be a waste if the production team chose such a special location for the show and didn't do a wave of nostalgia?]
[Aaaaaaah, is this a collaboration with "The Nine Tribulations of the Azure Netherworld"???? No matter how, damn the production team, if you can really bring back my beloved immortal ancestor, I'll give you a ten-year membership right now!!! I'm putting my words on this, you decide what to do!]
Wen Yinhe was also somewhat surprised.
The fact that the live stream was suspended means that the upcoming content cannot be spoiled even for the audience, all for the sake of the shock when the broadcast starts tomorrow morning.
His breathing tightened slightly, and he had a subtle premonition in his heart.
For some reason, his subconscious told him that the show's next move was likely related to "The Nine Tribulations of the Azure Netherworld".
When Wen Yinhe turned his head and met Lu Huaijin's half-smiling expression as he rested his chin on his hand, his premonition deepened.
He couldn't help but nervously grasp Lu Huaijin's hand, squeezing it gently as if to appease him, and asked, "Do you know something?"
"Before I came to this show, I did make a small request to the production team, but as for what that request was..."
Lu Huaijin dragged out the last syllable, whetting Wen Yinhe's appetite, but under Wen Yinhe's expectant and curious gaze, his tone suddenly changed.
"You'll probably find out once you get into your room."
Wen Yinhe immediately looked at Lu Huaijin with a slightly aggrieved expression, as if he was about to pitifully call out "Mr. Lu" the next second.
Lu Huaijin licked his itchy teeth, then suddenly grabbed Wen Yinhe's hand and ran upstairs quickly.
The light, yet somewhat chaotic, footsteps of two men echoed on the wooden stairs.
Wen Yinhe didn't ask any questions and obediently let Lu Huaijin drag him into the bathroom of the room and close the door.
Before Lu Huaijin could even retract his hand from closing the door, Wen Yinhe had already grabbed Lu Huaijin's waist and very willingly offered his lips to Lu Huaijin's lips.
As he slowly tasted the man's lips, he said with a hint of hesitation, "The production team said we need to pack up soon."
Lu Huaijin chuckled and gently sucked on his tongue, pressing it close to his lips as he asked, "So what are you doing now?"
"I won't see you tonight, and I'll miss you terribly," Wen Yinhe said, his voice filled with honesty and directness as he expressed his love for Lu Huaijin. A few strands of his black hair fell from his forehead, and his thick eyelashes brushed against Lu Huaijin's face with a gentle breeze. His longing melted into a kiss and landed on Lu Huaijin's lips. "I hope we can meet in our dreams."
...
After lunch, Wen Yinhe went into his room to pack his personal toiletries and clothes, and then kissed Lu Huaijin goodbye.
The staff led Wen Yinhe to his new room and then quietly left without disturbing him further.
Wen Yinhe turned his head and found a small notebook that looked like a script on the coffee table.
He was stunned for a moment, then his heart started racing almost instantly. Before his brain could even process what was happening, his body had already instinctively gone over and carefully picked up the notebook.
Suddenly, a line of large, bold text appeared on the cover—
The Nine Tribulations of the Azure Netherworld: Prequel
In that instant, Wen Yinhe's eyes reddened slightly as if burned, his eyelashes trembled in disbelief, and his moist gaze involuntarily revealed a long-cherished longing, as if silently lingering with a thousand words.
He immediately realized that Lu Huaijin must have bought the derivative rights to "Nine Tribulations of the Azure Netherworld" just so that he could experience acting in a variety show in advance, and also to generate a lot of buzz for his future comeback in the entertainment industry.
Wen Yinhe felt an indescribable sense of gratitude and comfort. If he could meet Lu Huaijin right now, he would have rushed back to his room immediately, kissed his lover passionately, and thanked him in person.
He took a deep breath to calm himself down, and even forgot about his suitcase. He quickly grabbed the script and sat down on the edge of the bed. Only after opening it did he realize that this was not an ordinary script, but a murder mystery game.
The first page after opening the book contains basic personal introductions. Perhaps for a better sense of immersion, the script murder mystery game directly uses the guests' real names.
The first line clearly stated—
[You are the supreme elder of the Lingxu Sect, a once-in-a-millennium cultivation prodigy, the Immortal Venerable Lanxue—Wen Yinhe.]
