DTBS - Chapter 168

Chapter 168: Parenting Show 20: Third Time's the Charm

"You are outsiders, carrying the mundane world's impurities,"Ding Yuyan walked to the main seat and sat down, looking at the three female guests before her with a serious expression. "This is the sacred Destiny Island. The residents here definitely don't like the aura you carry."

"Please guide us, Great Shaman." Although Gu Yunfei had been out of the entertainment industry for several years, she was still clear on the basic format of variety shows. She asked, "What should we do to remove the impurities from us?"

"Practice martial arts."Ding Yuyan stood up, took a few small booklets from the table, and handed them over. "Miss Gu here has a nimble figure and elegant demeanor, suitable for learning this Snake Fist."

Gu Yunfei : "..." What, try to become an elegant snake?

Seeing Gu Yunfei take it, Ding Yuyan handed another booklet to Lü Fangting. "Seeing your bright eyes and kind face, you are suitable for this Praying Mantis Fist."

Lü Fangting : "..." Why would someone with a kind face learn Mantis?

Finally, only Tao Qiuyun remained. Ding Yuyan seemed to be suppressing her facial expression as she walked up to Tao Qiuyun. "This young lady has a relaxed posture like a crane and an extraordinary presence. Here is a Tiger Fist booklet. I hope you practice diligently."

"Shouldn't it be Crane Fist?"Tao Qiuyun questioned.

"Where are all these questions coming from? Am I the Great Shaman or are you?"Ding Yuyan shoved the booklet into the woman's hand, turned, sat back down, and continued, "You practice according to the sequence in the booklet. Once you can perform the moves smoothly, the impurities in your body will naturally be expelled."

The three female guests fell silent, flipping through the small booklets in their hands.

Great, the moves in these booklets were completely contrary to their usual images...

Imagine the gentle and graceful Gu Yunfei twisting into a seductive snake, the capable and shrewd Lü Fangting learning the comical mantis, and even... can you picture Tao Qiuyun shouting things like "Black Tiger Steals Heart" or "Fierce Tiger Descends Mountain" while throwing powerful tiger fists?

The production team was truly "malicious" with their intentions. It was estimated that the remaining three booklets on the table were prepared for Qin Qingshang, Ming Siwen, and Mu Kaitai, who were searching for clues in the backyard.

【Hahahahahahaha, help, look at CEO Tao, her face has darkened】

【Seriously, her aura is so strong like this. Only at times like this does her CEO filter come online】

【Why are you frozen? Start practicing!】

【Just saw CEO Tao flip a page, there's actually a picture that looks like Cat Fist inside, hahahaha, CEO Tao, quickly swing your paws】

The bullet comments were gloating. The three guests present were like arrows on a bowstring, having no choice but to follow the booklet and start performing the moves.

Just as Tao Qiuyun finished a "Fierce Tiger Descends Mountain" move, she heard a crisp sound from outside, as if something had been broken.

What was broken? Could it be the jars in the backyard... Oh no!

Tao Qiuyun reacted quickly, instantly sensing that things were bad. She swiftly turned and rushed towards the main door. Just as her right foot stepped out, she heard the three female guests in the backyard shouting loudly. Seeing this, Gu Yunfei and Lü Fangting also followed her towards the backyard...

Just as Tao Qiuyun reached the corner, she heard Qin Qingshang's voice:

"Even if the Young Commander comes today, they'll get two slaps!"

The woman instantly stopped in her tracks. She rarely hesitated like this, her mind racing.

"What's going on?"Lü Fangting and Gu Yunfei also arrived at this moment. Seeing this scene, they thought Tao Qiuyun was hiding in the shadows, planning how to save Qin Qingshang and the others. But as soon as they spoke, they exposed that someone was there. To avoid affecting CEO Tao's rescue plan, the two bravely stepped out.

Tao Qiuyun : "?"

The men in black also tied up Gu Yunfei and Lü Fangting, who had walked right into the trap.

"Why did you two come? Where's Qiuqiu?"Cat was anxious. "Why didn't she come? Could she have been attacked by the Great Shaman? I knew that Great Shaman was suspicious!"

Ding Yuyan, who was eavesdropping: "..."

Well, well, you get a wife and start ditching your friends, huh? You'll be crying later!

Tao Qiuyun knew she couldn't hide any longer. She walked out of the shadows. Just as she was about to say something, the men in black uniformly turned and bowed to her. The Rabbit Mask placed his right hand on his left chest and solemnly said, "Young Commander, we have not failed! Qin Qingshang and the others have been captured."

Tao Qiuyun : "..."

She had never been so speechless.

Are you guys even subordinates?! You clearly know your leader is undercover, yet you're afraid her teammates won't know, so you have to shout it out. You should be tying me up right now and pretending you don't know me!

Seeing Tao Qiuyun's expression, the Rabbit Mask secretly thought, "This is bad."CEO Tao didn't seem happy. Why? Wasn't this her order?

You were the one who dropped the cup! Why does it feel like I'm the one who made a mistake? It's strange.

"Tao! Qiu! Yun!"Qin Qingshang was furious, scaring the men in black holding her into a tactical retreat, afraid of getting splashed by sparks. She almost gritted out each word: "Why didn't you come act!"

Ming Siwen's Best Actress award should be given to you.

Seeing the fire in Qin Qingshang's eyes, Tao Qiuyun knew she was truly angry. She didn't dare to calculate the game's wins and losses anymore. At this critical juncture, if she didn't appease Qin Qingshang, it wouldn't just be a simple matter of studying hard in the study room. Either Cat would run away from home, or she would be kicked out by Cat.

The most terrifying outcome was Qin Qingshang going to the old mansion to get reinforcements. If Xia Xianglu and Tao Shizhou both exerted pressure, she might not be able to handle it.

"Wife,"Tao Qiuyun stepped forward, "Listen to me explain. There's a reason for all this."

"Go on,"Cat sneered, looking like she was waiting to see how she'd spin it. "I'm listening!"

Seeing Tao Qiuyun about to speak, Qin Qingshang immediately interrupted her again. "Wait! Stop acting, there's no sincerity at all. You're tying me up to listen to your explanation? Young Commander, you're putting on quite a show of authority!"

"...Untie her."Tao Qiuyun looked at the men in black.

Men in black: "..." Alright, you're the boss, you call the shots.

The two men in black holding Qin Qingshang untied her. As soon as the rope was loosened, they saw the woman in front of them twist her wrists, then snatch the rope and quickly charge towards Tao Qiuyun. The background seemed to be on fire. "Tao Qiuyun! Stop right there!"

Sensing danger, Tao Qiuyun's body reacted instinctively, and she took off running. "Wife, listen to my explanation first..."

"Shut up! I'll tie you up first! Then I'll listen to you slowly."

Tao Qiuyun knew Cat was tired today and didn't dare to run too fast. She was quickly caught by the furious Qin Qingshang and tied up with rope.

Watching the woman seriously tying her up, she tentatively asked, "Are you less angry now, Qingshang?"

"No!"Cat was very angry. "You were the one who had Qinqin and the others captured, right? You're such a jerk! Wait until I settle the score with you. First, take me to find Qinqin."

Tao Qiuyun was stunned. She didn't expect that before she could shift the blame to the production team, she would take a huge rap for them. "It wasn't me..."

"You're not allowed to talk now!"Qin Qingshang finished tying her up and looked at the leader of the men in black—the Rabbit Mask. "Untie Teacher Ming and the others, then take us to find the children."

The men in black exchanged glances, unsure whether they should listen to her. After all, the Young Commander was... Wait, why did this feel familiar?

"What?"Qin Qingshang stared at them. "So you don't need to listen to the Young Madam's words?"

She grabbed the tightly bound Tao Qiuyun and said fiercely, "Your Young Commander is in my hands. Be obedient, or I'll tear up the ticket!"

Even with messy hair and wrinkled clothes, Tao Qiuyun's gentle and elegant demeanor was still present. The rippling clear spring seemed even more lively. Hearing Cat's threat at this moment, she couldn out help but let out a light chuckle.

"What are you laughing at!"Qin Qingshang glared at her, but was instead drawn in by her appearance, like fresh snow on a branch. After snapping back to reality, she gave the woman's arm a light, demonstrative pinch.

Damn it! She's trying to tempt me with a beauty I've never seen before. Luckily, I, the Great Cat Immortal, have firm willpower. When we get back, I'll make this enchantress help me cultivate.

Pinched by her wife, Tao Qiuyun decisively reined in her smile. She lowered her head and didn't reply.

"Tao Qiuyun, now you're not even answering me when I ask you something? Is your next step to give me the silent treatment?"

"Qingshang, you were the one who told me not to talk."

"...Then shut up!"

Tao Qiuyun indeed shut up again.

Cat was so angry she was stomping her feet. Ming Siwen and the others, who had watched the whole spectacle, almost burst out laughing.

【 CEO Tao! CEO Tao looks like the wife of the bandit chief, captured and brought up the mountain by a female bandit! Her demeanor truly has the refined air of a scholar, perfectly captured】

【Female bandit? Hahahahaha, Sister Qin would want to beat you to death if she heard that】

【 Qin Qingshang : What? Does the Deputy Head not need support?】

【The big brothers in black are completely bewildered hahahahahaha】

【Dying of laughter, second bloom】

The men in black decisively switched sides again. Didn't they see that CEO Tao was completely under Miss Qin's thumb? She was willing to be tied up. If Miss Qin said east, she wouldn't dare go west. It was clear who was at the top of the hierarchy here!

"Hurry up and listen to the Young Madam!" The Rabbit Mask ordered the men in black to untie Teacher Ming and the others.

"Young Madam, they are all untied." The Rabbit Mask placed his right hand on his left chest and said solemnly, "Do you have any further instructions?"

Guests: "..." Big brother, you're really adaptable, aren't you?

"Give me the rope,"Cat reached out and ordered unceremoniously. "Then take us to Qinqin."

"Yes!" The Rabbit Mask transformed into a guide, leading the way for the six—no, now five—guests.

As for Tao Qiuyun, she was already the "captive" of one of the female guests.

【How tragic, Chunjin's CEO Tao actually has a day like this. Do you wives play quite wild in private too?】

【I've already imagined a 500,000-word novel about a princess going out to play, only to be kidnapped by a female bandit from the mountains and taken home to marry. The female bandit is actually the unloved youngest daughter of an enemy country's prime minister. Unable to bear the darkness and constraints of the palace, she goes to another country to become a bandit leader, but secretly helps refugees affected by the war between the two countries. The princess, seemingly gentle and weak, can actually punch a cow to death and has a dark personality, loving to scheme against others. The kidnapping was intentional on her part because, as a woman, she has no right of inheritance, so she set her sights on this bandit lair, wanting to build high walls and accumulate grain in this strategic location at the border between the two countries, making it a military stronghold for raising private soldiers. However, she unexpectedly becomes attracted to the straightforward and kind Qin Qingshang —no, the female bandit. The two help each other in troubled times. Finally, the princess ascends the throne as empress, but the female bandit is forced to return home and marry into the palace. So, Tao Qiuyun —no, Her Majesty the Empress—gets angry for her beloved, personally leads the army, coordinates inside and out, flattens the enemy country, marries her lover, and unifies the world.】

【Boss, the tea is brewed, and Word is open for you. Get to work!】

【Let's round it up, write a million words】

【This one is a true master. Let me see the ID. Oh, Master Liu. If your books aren't in the bookstore, I'll smash the place. Friends, am I right?】

【Then the female bandit backhands and kills Her Majesty the Empress, then commits suicide (dog head emoji)】

【Hahahahaha, the haunted house script is back】

【BE (Bad Ending) fans, get out!!!!! No—!】

When Qin Qingshang, leading her "captive"— Tao Qiuyun, followed the men in black to the Destiny Island's Training Facility, they saw Tao Aiqin with her hands on her hips, directing the men in black to work.

Little Cat's voice was soft and gentle, but she looked quite imposing. "What? Is the Little Commander's order not an order?"

Qin Qingshang, Tao Qiuyun : "..."

This little one is quite good at seizing opportunities.

Dai Congxu: "..."

You family of three, that's enough! They are the production team's staff, they are ours!
