Chapter 196: A Fatal Punch
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jing Mo t s face was a canvas of fury. From the moment Lu Shi had neared Xia Xin, Jing Mo l d been itching to throw a punch.
âIâm not that saintly. I lent the bucket to Xu Zhi because we had spares. Sorry, but I donât have anything extra for you.â Having said that, Xia Xin grabbed Jing Moâs arm, and they left without looking back, his icy glance the only farewell.
Lu Shi shivered at Jing Mo t s departing look, its loaded meaning stirring unease in his chest.
âHow can you do this? It was a chance for us to be on this show together. Canât we help each other out?â Tian Meiâs shout chased after them.
âShut up!â Lu Shi snapped, fed up with her incessant noise.
Tian Meiâs lips quivered. âLu Shi, I just felt sorry for you. They trample over your dignityâŠâ
âEnough!â Lu Shi cut Tian Mei off.
âBut itâs the truth,â Tian Mei persisted. đđđźđźđđźđđđžđżđźđ.đŹđ€đą
âDo you not realize how ugly and old you are? How can someone your age still act so naively? Youâre nothing but a wrinkled old hag!â With that, Lu Shi turned on his heel and strode away.
Tian Mei stood in disbelief, replaying his words. âOld and ugly? A hag riddled with wrinkles?â
âAh!â She let out a shrill scream, stomping her foot before storming off.
The cameraman, only assigned to one group, hesitated between following Lu Shi or Tian Mei. Then came the directorâs orders through the walkie-talkie to stick with Tian Mei. Despite her lack of youth and beauty, she was still a woman, and for her safety, it was better to have someone with her. Plus, she was bound to stir more controversy than Lu Shi, whose path theyâd make sure was crossed by Jing MO and Xia Xinâs team.
Receiving the directorâs hint, Xia Xin and Jing MO were told to pair up with Lu Shi for the tasks ahead.
âWhose contribution counts if the task is completed?â Xia Xin inquired.
âIf you complete it, itâs yours. If he does it on his own, itâs his,â the director answered.
âWhat if he uses my things to complete it?â Xia Xin prodded further.
The director was momentarily speechless at Xia Xinâs persistence.
âIt counts as yours! When I say âon his ownâ, it means without any help, including from objects,â the director clarified.
Lu Shi, too, received word from the director and felt a surge of glee. Remembering the direction Xia Xin and Jing MO had headed, he wasted no time pursuing that path.
âWoof.â Drumstick, who had been tailing Xia Xin suddenly called out, âMaster, have you forgotten something?â freeweb(n)ovel.com
âUh?â Xia Xin seemed puzzled.
âYou didnât treat that big white tiger!â Drumstick reminded Xia Xin.
Xia Xin paused, realization dawning on her. She had promised the tiger and had completely forgotten. She patted Drumstick and told Jing MO, âBig brother, my stomachâs really upset. I need to take care of it and might be a while.â
Only by citing a bathroom break could Xia Xin evade the cameras and attend to the tigerâs wounds.
âAlright, take care,â Jing MO responded, giving no indication of disbelieving Xia Xinâs excuse.
Xia Xin departed, and shortly after, Lu Shi arrived.
âWhereâs Xia Xin?â Lu Shi asked Jing Mo.
âShe had a stomachache and went to take care of it,â Jing MO replied.
âWhat a golden opportunity,â Lu Shi thought. He said, âHow can you let her go alone? Itâs dangerous here! I must find her!â
Jing MO tripped Lu Shi with a foot and stated emphatically, âShe had a stomachache and went to deal with it.â
âA girl going to the bathroom, and you want to follow? Not so pure-hearted, are you?â Jing MO questioned sharply.
âIâm just concerned about her! Itâs far too dangerous for her to be alone,â Lu Shi argued.
Jing Moâs eyes narrowed, a sliver of amusement coloring his voice. âShe could knock out a tiger with one punch, while the sight of one turns your legs to jelly.
Whoâs the dangerous one now?â
âYouâŠâ Lu Shi was at a loss for words. Xia Xin could knock out a tiger with one punch? Since when?
In the distance, the white tiger couldnât believe its ears. It thought, âThat woman could knock out a tiger with one punch?â
It backed away, puzzled at understanding human speech. It was a mutated tiger and it understood! It wanted to flee, but here came Xia Xin.
âWhere are you hurting? Iâm sorry about last night. I got so busy and I forgot,â Xia Xin apologized, unaware of how long the great beast had been waiting..
