Free Web NovelChapter 731: Chapter 730: Are You the Wolf Grandmother from Beyond the Pass?
Sister Shu Ran did not expect that her bad start was because she couldn’t recognize what a non-flowering peach tree looked like.
She wandered around this place two or three times but couldn’t identify this bare tree.
Exasperated, her vision darkened, and she gritted her teeth, asking, "Is this... is this a peach tree?"
Mu Qiu suppressed the urge to burst out laughing and said seriously, "Yeah, although it was just transplanted and hasn’t bloomed, with very few leaves, the texture on the branches clearly indicates it’s indeed a peach tree."
"Ha," Shu Ran sneered coldly and suddenly burst out, "Move aside! I’m going to yank this tree out right now! The program crew is tricking me! Who has enough time to check the texture on every tree?!"
Mu Qiu quickly pulled her back, "Don’t get worked up, don’t get worked up. Li Yang is even more pitiful; he not only lost a pretty female teammate but still hasn’t found his location. His riddle is even tougher."
Li Yang wiped his tears again, "Stop talking about it, it hurts. I still don’t even know what my black mud is."
Compared to that, Shu Ran slowly calmed down, but still spoke through gritted teeth, "This episode is a trap! How can I, fighting solo, compete against their trio?!"
"Therefore, I’m here," Mu Qiu immediately added, deliberately making her voice soft and melodious and filled with deep emotion.
Li Yang shuddered straight away.
Sister Shu Ran glanced at her, "You want to form an alliance with me? What value do I have for you to exploit? Forget it, I won’t ally with you even if I join hands with Li Yang."
Mu Qiu: "...Don’t be like this."
Having a low credit score comes with this kind of hassle.
She said no more, pulled Li Yang and Lin Lian forward and directly stated:
"Then forget it, Li Yang has already allied with me. And, not to hide it from you, I suspect there will be singing and dancing segments in this episode. Li Yang and Lin Lian are like an unbeatable duo. Are you sure you don’t want to join us?"
"Singing and dancing?"
Sister Shu Ran’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Li Yang, then at Lin Lian beside him, showing an amazed expression.
Anyone who looks like this shouldn’t be unknown, so he must be a newly discovered talent, and his company is likely significant. The program crew’s ability to bring him into this episode probably stems from his potential fame due to his looks.
Anyone smart enough knows, if you want to form an alliance, it should be with such people.
"How about it? Isn’t this lineup pretty decent?" Mu Qiu asked.
"It’s decent," Sister Shu Ran adjusted her face towel, shielding the sun with her hand, "But can I only ally with them and kick you out?"
"......" Saying that is really heartbreaking.
She exhibited great resilience, enduring heartache while persistently recommending herself.
Shortly after, everyone gathered in the square.
The farm’s setting has a spacious cobblestone square, which is quite nice. Standing here, one can gaze at most of the scenery.
Twelve people gathered, handsome men and beautiful women stood in piles under the sunlight, which reversed its harshness, turning brilliantly gentle.
The six new participants mingled with everyone, shaking hands and getting acquainted.
No exception; everyone was amazed by Lin Lian’s looks.
Yet, the six old participants blocked their faces, stood behind, and hardly spoke.
Shi Yuhuai, for the nth time, lowered his head to look at Guan Yu’s big red headscarf, held back time and again, but couldn’t resist commenting, "Are you the wolf granny from outside the pass? It truly looks terrible."
Guan Yu: "...Shut up!"
Sister Shu Ran felt pleased for two seconds: "That’s to cover her face. Once you see her face, you’ll know what shockingly ugly means."
Shi Yuhuai frowned deeply. While listening to her, he inadvertently saw her face, and after offending Guan Yu, he immediately offended Sister Shu Ran too, "You’re ugly too."
Sister Shu Ran: "..."
Mu Qiu covered her face, "Brother Huai, better shut your mouth. I’m afraid you won’t make it out of this square."
Li Yang laughed merrily beside them, and Cheng Zhirang, as always, watched their bickering like a gentle patriarch.
Except the gentleness was directed solely at one person.
"Drink some water, take off your face towel, it’s very hot."
Mu Qiu naturally accepted, didn’t even need to twist the cap, drank, and then covered herself with the face towel again.
"Removing it is impossible unless Sister Shu Ran and Sister Guan Yu do too. I refuse to be the ugliest one."
Guan Yu tightened her face towel upon hearing that, "Unless I find makeup remover, otherwise I’ll weld this on my head today. Hey, hey, hey, this guest, shake my hand first. Mu Qiu doesn’t need it."
Lin Lian withdrew his hand, finally unable to hold back the laugh he’d been suppressing.
"Sister Guan Yu, your headscarf... is really hilarious."
"It is quite hilarious, oh my, laughing and still looking so good, your voice sounds nice too." Her eyes were glued to him like an obsessive fan.
The director couldn’t stand it any longer, raised the megaphone and coughed deliberately.
"Welcome everyone to the eighth episode of ’Different Variety Show’. This time, we are at Qiongla Town’s famous ’After Rain Hall Front’.
After an hour of free group games, everyone should have gotten familiar with this episode’s guests. Now, let’s reintroduce—
Brother Cheng’s teammates: Sajor members Bai Shu, Xu Cheng.
Guan Yu’s teammates: Zhang Li, Chuchu.
Brother Huai’s teammate: Jiang Zhufeng, Mu Qiu’s teammate: Lin Lian. Li Yang and Shu Ran have no teammates.
Everyone applauded in welcome.
Bai Shu was the epitome of a stylish older sister, Xu Cheng was the sunny big boy, Zhang Li leaned towards the model type, Jiang Zhufeng surprisingly resembled an enchanting young lady of the Republic era, and Chuchu was a sweet darling with big eyes.
As for Lin Lian, no words needed to be said; his screen time indicated the matter.
This episode is truly springtime for beauty enthusiasts.
"I could have had teammates," Li Yang glanced at the girl next to Guan Yu, then added, "Director, you’re forcing me and Sister Shu Ran to form alliances."
Director: "Haven’t you already allied?"
"Allied already?" Guan Yu exposed her eyes, leaned over to inquire, "With whom did you ally? Did you anticipate not finding teammates and hurriedly sought allies early on?"
"Absolutely not!" Li Yang shook his clothes with pride, "Mu Qiu specifically sought me out, okay? Specifically."
"Daring enough to join Mu Qiu’s alliance, impressive."
"Hey, hey, hey, can you guys not bring up my credit issue? It makes the new guests think less of me."
"They’ve watched the previous episodes; they certainly know what you’re like."
The three of them babbled back and forth continuously with Shi Yuhuai standing behind, saying quietly, "You guys are really a bit noisy."
Cheng Zhirang laughed softly beside him.
Their ambiance was too harmonious, making it impossible for new guests to squeeze into their little clique; they had to stand patiently, occasionally chatting with other guests.
