This is the entertainment industry! No tantrums or shouting allowed!

She meant no harm.

But this question is like a death trap.

Fortunately, it was no problem for Wen Yao, the master of balancing things out: "They're all fine, I like them both."

Zhao Qing was the type who insisted on getting to the bottom of things: "There must be one you like the most, right?"

Wen Yao: "My favorite guest is highly educated, smart, wears glasses, and solves problems quickly..."

Jing Ce's ears gradually turned red.

He met every single condition Wen Yao mentioned...

Is he her favorite guest?

The gossipy gazes of the crowd also fell on Jing Ce.

Even Zhao Qing thought Wen Yao was referring to Jing Ce.

Unexpectedly, Wen Yao suddenly leaned closer, her doe-like eyes curving slightly: "Far away, yet right before my eyes."

boom--

Zhao Qing's ears were ringing, and her mind went blank.

Her delicate face instantly turned bright red, and she began to stammer as she spoke:

"You...you...are you talking about me?"

Wen Yao nodded, then asked innocently, "Can't I like you?"

In that instant, Zhao Qing suddenly understood a classic line from the only novel she had ever read during her student days:

The moment she reddened her eyes, he felt he would give his life for her!

Zhao Qing just wanted to say that she was willing to give her life for Wen Yao without even needing to be jealous!

"Y-yes..." Zhao Qing was at a loss, touching her burning ears with her fingertips. "Thank you for your liking."

"And what about you?" Wen Yao leaned closer. "Have you watched our show? Who's your favorite character?"

The girl's nose tip was almost touching Zhao Qing's nose.

Her long, thick eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings.

Zhao Qing swore that her heartbeat had never been so loud before!

The viewers in front of the screen gasped.

[A succubus! This is a top-tier succubus!]

[Zhao Qing: I just used a basic attack, why did you immediately use your ultimate to charm me?]

[This girl is like a block of wood when it comes to hooking up with men, but she's practically a natural at hooking up with girls!]

[I've already been hooked, just like Sister Qing! Our Mei Bao is the undisputed queen of picking up girls! There's no girl she can't get!]

...

Jing Ce lowered his head and pushed up his glasses, concealing the disappointment that flashed in his eyes.

Also.

Besides him, Zhao Qing in "The Great Detective" also wears glasses.

How could he forget such a simple line of reasoning?

Swah——

The candles in the bridal chamber were blown out by the wind, plunging the room into darkness.

Wen Yao immediately hid under the coffee table.

It turned out to be just a feint; after waiting for a long time, nothing happened.

Jing Ce found a match and relit the candle.

Everyone looked around and spotted Wen Yao hiding under the coffee table with her head in her hands.

The girl looked embarrassed; her toes were practically digging out of her sneakers.

"I think it's cool under the coffee table, so I'm going to escape the heat here," Wen Yao said, making up a lie with a straight face.

Everyone was charmed by its cuteness and couldn't help but chuckle.

Yun Yue reached out her hand to Wen Yao.

The next second, the candle was extinguished again.

With a whoosh, Wen Yao disappeared back inside!

"Boom."

As the activation sound rang out, the guests' expressions changed drastically when night vision mode was activated.

Only Wen Yao patted her chest, thankful that she had dodged in just the right time.

But... why is the sound of this mechanism so loud?

Suddenly.

The paving stones beside her feet parted, and a ghostly NPC with a head of white hair emerged right next to Wen Yao—

The NPC hadn't expected her to be hiding here, and the two locked eyes.

The monster grinned, revealing its gaping maw, and waved enthusiastically: "Hi, hi, hi?"

Wen Yao:! ! !

"Brother! Brother, help me! Waaaaaah!!"

...

"Ah!"

Gu Yan, from the village, sneezed violently.

"Brother Gu is as strong as an ox, but even he gets sick sometimes," Lu Anbo said sarcastically. "Could it be that you're so young and already have kidney deficiency?"

Gu Yan smiled kindly: "Brother Lu, I've already killed my wife to prove my Dao, do you think I won't kill my brothers as a sacrifice to the heavens?"

Lu Anbo looked wary and hid behind the Taoist priest.

"Master, you should control your disciple!"

"Alright, you two must not kill each other." The Taoist priest stopped under the big willow tree at the village entrance. "When I begin my ritual, when I say 'Please help me,' you two should throw paper money into the air, understand?"

Gu Yan nodded: "I'll remember that, brothers killing each other."

Lu Amber: ? ? ?

The Taoist priest was puzzled: "What's the difference between highlighting 'Zhuge Liang borrowing arrows with straw boats' before an exam and then answering 'Zhuge Liang stealing a car and getting electrocuted' during the exam?"

Viewers in the live stream started jumping in to make things worse:

[Nonsense, this is clearly a miracle of Zhuge Liang repeated!]

What?! I clearly wrote that Zhuge Liang stole and ate poop!

[Do you think a bunch of academic underachievers could possibly get the answers right? I'm telling you, the correct answer is Zhuge Liang committing telecom fraud!]

...

Lu Anbo almost jumped up: "Taoist priest! Look at him, he's still up to no good!"

Gu Yan: "Look at you, in such a hurry again. What's the rush? Are you the King of Haste? Just kidding, don't you have a sense of humor?"

The Taoist priest's lips twitched slightly. "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, kid."

You're addicted to using the spirit-summoning banner!

Even heretics will have to offer you a cigarette!

"Young friend Lu, don't panic. With me here to stand up for you, this wicked disciple will definitely not dare to act recklessly."

"The time has come, without further ado—"

Accompanied by music with a strong sense of ritual, the Taoist priest chanted incantations while singing and dancing.

"Mami Mami Hum..."

The ghosts appeared and drew closer step by step.

Gu Yan and Lu Anbo trembled like sieves.

The music and lights grew increasingly intense, and the ghosts were almost within reach—

The Taoist priest shouted, "Gentlemen, help me!"

Upon hearing the sound, Gu Yan and Lu Anbo quickly threw out the paper money they were holding.

But just then, the lights suddenly went out.

The sounds of the ritual disappeared, leaving only the terrifying cries of ghosts and monsters.

"Master Daoist, where are you?"

"Master, please stop! Say something!"

No one answered.

The two timid brothers immediately huddled together, trembling with fear.

"Brother Gu, why are you shaking?"

"The air conditioning in here is blasting too high, what about you?"

"Haha, what a coincidence, I'm also cold..."

"Hilarious! I thought you were trembling with fear."

The two exchanged forced laughs, perfectly illustrating the meaning of their superficial brotherhood.

Lu Anbo's teeth chattered: "The Taoist priest is probably crippled. What should we do now?"

Gu Yan: "I have a plan!"

Lu Anbo: "Brother Gu, please speak!"

“We could easily win a head-on fight against an NPC. But…” Gu Yan changed the subject, “was Einstein born before us because the early bird catches the worm?”

"Gauss studied mathematics for so long, was he afraid of us or avoiding our sharp edge?"

"As the saying goes, 'Kings don't meet!' So there's absolutely no need for us to confront them head-on!"

Lu Anbo suddenly realized: "I get it! Run away!"

This conversation easily silenced the entire online audience!
