The Civil Servant's Job is to Raise The Furries!-Chapter 196 - 195: Who Can’t Pretend?

Just as Ming Xueying’s sword was about to dance in front of Xu Ying again, Xu Ying couldn’t hold back any longer!

Since she was on the show, causing a bit of a spectacle wouldn’t be too much, right?

Xu Ying opened her shoulder bag, took out her phone, and pretended to send a voice message, speaking softly to her bag.

Then she took off a jacket, placing it over her bag and legs, so that it covered her lap and the front of her body.

Though it was cold at night in the desert, sitting in front of the campfire, taking off a jacket wasn’t a problem for Xu Ying, who was fit.

She then sat back and pretended to continue enjoying the performance.

Listening to the audience’s applause, Ming Xueying danced with more enthusiasm, her sword movements becoming fiercer.

Everyone was focused on the performance, and as Ming Xueying danced in front of Xu Ying again, she was about to make a turn and draw her sword, her front foot barely passing Xu Ying’s leg.

At this moment, from under the jacket beside Xu Ying’s leg, a sharp, thin scorpion tail stinger darted out and quickly jabbed Ming Xueying’s ankle before retracting with a "whoosh."

Just as Ming Xueying was about to turn and shift her weight, the scorpion’s sting caused her immense pain.

In that moment of shifting her weight, her left foot tripped her right foot, and she fell to the ground, face first into the sand.

Ming Xueying’s face plunged into the sand, reminiscent of an ostrich, no longer as graceful and leisurely as before.

The sword used in Ming Xueying’s martial arts performance slipped from her hand and flew toward Xu Ying.

Xu Ying had anticipated that when Ming Xueying fell, her props might fly toward her.

She had already prepared to dodge.

The two fruit bats beside Xu Ying swiftly unfurled their wings with inhuman agility, deflecting the martial arts sword.

Gasps of surprise echoed at the scene!

The show crew and villagers quickly gathered around Xu Ying.

"Ah!"

Xu Ying let out a timely scream of fright, covering her face with one hand and checking if the fruit bat was injured with the other.

Everyone’s attention was focused on Ming Xueying and Xu Ying.

The four young fox cubs stood on guard, and with no camera on them, Fox Si Bao sneakily pushed a pack of open makeup remover wipes onto the mat in front of Ming Xueying.

The performance sword was soft and harmless, while the fruit bats’ wings, although appearing fragile, were actually strong and elastic, like rubber, so blocking the sword wouldn’t hurt them, though she wouldn’t explain these fun facts on camera now.

Having just dabbed some sliced onions from the plate, she covered her face and instantly reddened her eyes.

Holding the fruit bat’s wings, tears streamed down Xu Ying’s face: "Ah Bat, does it hurt, are you injured anywhere?"

Ugh, playing pretense! Who wouldn’t know how?

The fruit bat tilted its little head, resembling a Corgi: ?

It chirped in confusion, three times in a row.

[Boss, what are you doing?]

[I didn’t feel anything just now, you’re crying like I’m dying.]

[Usually when we sneak your fruits, you slap us hard, feels way more than this.]

The other fruit bat, quick-witted, immediately retracted its wings and let out a piercing cry.

Convulsing on the ground, it yelled at its comrades in Beast Language as the others couldn’t understand: [Idiot, we have to pretend we’re hurt to make a fuss!]

The dazed fruit bat, reminded by its companion, awkwardly twisted its head, wondering if it was still in time to feign pain!

It promptly shut its eyes, fainted, kicked its legs, and dramatically fell over.

"Little Xu Station Chief, are you okay!"

"Oh no! Our Batman has fainted!"

The old village chief hurried over.

This thrilling accident had already blown up the live broadcast chat.

[Oh my, that was terrifying! If that were a real sword, wouldn’t it have cut someone’s head off?]

[Honestly, Ming Xueying’s dance moves were too close to Xu Ying just now, though the frontal camera didn’t capture it, I saw Xu Ying’s bangs move, felt something was off.]

[Gosh, Ming Xueying’s mistake was embarrassing.]

[If you’re not skilled, don’t perform so close to people! Are you completely oblivious to the danger?]

The show crew hurriedly sent two medical staff to check if Xu Ying and Ming Xueying were injured.

Jia Yao then went to help Ming Xueying up, noticing her face was covered in sand, and glanced at an open pack of wet wipes on a nearby mat, quickly grabbed a few to wipe her face and fetched some bottled water to rinse her eyes.

Knowing fans were worried about the guests’ injuries, seeing both were somewhat okay, the director immediately instructed the broadcaster to focus on both their close-ups, showing fans the show’s timely medical assistance and Jia Yao’s caring friendship toward Ming Xueying.

However, the close-up of Ming Xueying left netizens dumbfounded.

As Jia Yao rinsed Ming Xueying’s eyes with bottled water, the water trickled down her cheeks, turning white!

Like flour water!

Sticky!

It was obvious the foundation was being washed off by the remover.

The "wet wipes" wiping Ming Xueying’s face also took off a set of long-style fake lashes and lower lashes.

Furthermore, wearing contact lenses for a long time today and being roasted by the campfire, Ming Xueying’s contact lenses slipped, making her see the densely packed fake lashes as thread worms!

"Whoa, you had thread worms stuck on your face!!"

The cameraman immediately zoomed the camera to the "wet wipes", under the high-definition lens, Jia Yao’s "thread worms" turned out to be fake lashes.

Additionally, the wet wipes had traces of thick foundation, mascara, and brow pencil.

Meanwhile, seeing Xu Ying unharmed, Ye Jie, feeling indignant, rushed toward Ming Xueying: "This is dangerous, if not for the bats’ wings blocking it, Little Xu Station Chief would’ve been hurt!"

"What a blow to the face could cause is unknown!"

However, seeing Ming Xueying’s face, Ye Jie paused, it was patchy with white and yellow, and Ming Xueying herself, with sand in her eyes, kept wiping her face with the wet wipes.

Practically removing makeup live on air.

After a few wet wipes, Ming Xueying, who started filming with flawless bare skin, now had a sallow, lifeless face, looking a decade older.

"You wear makeup? And apply foundation that thick? No wonder when you tried to get close to Fox Si Bao this afternoon, it pawed your face!"

Ye Jie seemed to have uncovered something significant and loudly exclaimed: "Foxes have a keen sense of smell, they must’ve detected the chemicals on your face."
