Chapter 195
Qin Zhao stood still, waiting for Yu Xiao to approach.
Yu Xiao had observed Qin Zhao's skills and considered her to be agile with decent explosive power.
However, he was certain that she couldn't match his endurance, as he had spent a long time as a hunter in the wilderness.
So he decided to adopt a strategy of both offense and defense!
Yu Xiao approached Qin Zhao and threw a punch at her!
But before his punch could land, Qin Zhao swiftly struck him in the midsection with even greater speed!
Yu Xiao felt a sudden tightness in his nose, and a sharp pain surged through his head!
His expectations were shattered under the force of Qin Zhao's fist.
His body and mind became numb.
Not wanting him to endure such pain, Qin Zhao delivered a kick to his calf, causing Yu Xiao to collapse in agony!
The next day, he woke up on the ground, unable to stand up.
He could only crawl little by little towards the wooden house where An Hongyu resided, about a hundred meters away.
An Hongyu had just jumped down from a tree when he saw Yu Xiao's sorry state.
His nose was swollen and congested, with blood smearing his face and mouth.
His clothes were torn due to excessive friction with the ground, exhibiting multiple holes.
It was obvious from this clear scene that An Hongyu knew something had happened.
An Hongyu sneered, "I thought you looked quite robust, capable of defeating even a woman.
I never expected you to lose so miserably!
You still have the audacity to come see me.
Forget about the money; I won't give you a single penny since you failed the task!"
"Oh, so it's you, Yu Xiao, coming to cause trouble for me."
Qin Zhao emerged from behind a tree.
Startled, An Hongyu took three steps back.
He knew that if Yu Xiao couldn't defeat Qin Zhao, he certainly wouldn't stand a chance against her!
Yu Xiao also felt fear towards Qin Zhao and trembled slightly while lying on the ground.
As Qin Zhao approached An Hongyu, she said, "I was wondering why a person who is usually silent and keeps to themselves suddenly became interested in me.
It turns out you were instigating behind the scenes.
I believe it's not Yu Xiao who deserves to be beaten, but you, An Hongyu!"
An Hongyu's face revealed a terrified expression, and he quickly ran away!
Qin Zhao chased after him, grabbing him by the collar and causing him to stumble.
An Hongyu's throat was constricted, making it difficult for him to breathe as he coughed violently!
At that moment, he was like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
Qin Zhao kicked the back of his knee, causing An Hongyu's legs to give out, and he knelt on the ground, begging loudly, "Qin sister, I was wrong, please forgive me!
There won't be another time. From now on, if I see you, I'll keep my distance and never taint your eyes!"
Qin Zhao paid no attention to his words and unleashed a flurry of punches!
An Hongyu's screams echoed like the cries of an ape, making Yu Xiao tremble uncontrollably. He decided to play dead and closed his eyes.
Feeling the ache in her arm muscles, Qin Zhao finally stopped.
An Hongyu's voice had become hoarse from shouting.
In a fit of despair, he yelled, "Qin Zhao, I'm going to complain to the director!
When I return to Blue Star, I will make my sister send people to deal with you!
I will make you pay tenfold for today's humiliation!"
As expected, his words only invited another round of beating!
Rubbing her reddened knuckles, Qin Zhao said, "Since I dared to hit you, be prepared to face the consequences.
You can go ahead and try to see if the director will stand by your side."
Perfectly timed, Qin Zhao could use this opportunity to see Xu Lianggong's true position.
When she had beaten up Li Ming earlier, Xu Lianggong's defense of her had seemed suspicious to her.
She suspected that there was some hidden conspiracy behind it!
An Hongyu struggled to get up from the ground and said, "Qin Zhao, just you wait!"
He walked towards the camp of the director's team.
Rubbing his waist one moment and his buttocks the next, every part of his body hurt!
"Hmph," Qin Zhao watched his figure and said, "He shouldn't be going to see the director, he should go get his brain treated."
Yu Xiao was still pretending to be dead. Qin Zhao kicked him and said, "Get up."
Yu Xiao still didn't dare to move.
Qin Zhao was truly fed up with these men and couldn't be bothered anymore.
Returning to the outside of the tent, she saw Sheng Xi washing clothes by the river, so she walked over and washed them together with her.
The online community was particularly lively at this moment.
Sheng Xi's fans had already accepted the existence of the Shaoxi CP.
No matter how they looked at it, Sheng Xi seemed to be more proactive.
The CP fans edited videos of their intimate interactions and spread them, successfully enlarging the CP fanbase.
Now, in their live broadcasts, people left comments related to the CP, and no one called for violence anymore.
"Why do I find Shaojie and Xiji more pleasing to the eye the more I look at them?"
"Genuine couples are the best to ship."
"Thanks to Zhaozhao, I see a different side of my wife Sheng Xi, her hidden charms."
"Sheng Xi is no longer just reserved, yesterday she publicly kissed Qin Zhao on the face!"
"Haha! My nosebleed is unstoppable! So exciting!"
...
On the other hand, An Hongyu's situation was different.
Many of his fans unfollowed him because they couldn't bear to see their favorite idol being so weak in front of another woman.
No matter how prosperous human civilization developed, it couldn't escape the constraints of natural laws.
Everyone liked their own kind to be strong.
In other words, they admired strength and despised weakness.
Therefore, An Hongyu lost followers while Qin Zhao gained them, and this was only natural.
The current popularity rankings are as follows:
Sheng Xi: 14.6 million
Qin Zhao: 12.7 million
An Hongyu: 4.3 million
Yu Xiao: 700,000
However, An Hongyu had been a popular star for many years, so he still had some die-hard fans.
They sent numerous complaint letters to the production team of the "Barren Ancient Survival" show.
Furthermore, some even went directly to Xing Qiong Entertainment Company and held banners, demanding that Qin Zhao quit the show!
In the CEO's office, An Xin listened to Guo Qi's report and said, "Have Xu Lianggong protect Qin Zhao.
If necessary, have him bring Qin Zhao into our camp."
Guo Qi said, "I think Qin Zhao is a very independent person, and she probably won't easily align with us."
An Xin looked at Qin Zhao on the screen and said coldly, "I'm giving her a chance. If she doesn't join me, she and An Hongyu will both die on the Barren Ancient Star!"
·
Qin Zhao was washing a light orange and white short-sleeved shirt when a staff member of the production team, Hu Zi, walked to the river and said, "Miss Qin, Director Xu wants you to come over."
Qin Zhao stood up, shook off the water from her hands, and said to Sheng Xi, "I'll be right back."
Sheng Xi nodded and said, "Come back soon. I can't sleep without you holding me at night."
Qin Zhao replied, "When have I ever not let you hold me?"
After bidding a slow farewell to Sheng Xi, Qin Zhao left with Hu Zi, maintaining silence throughout the journey.
Hu Zi looked at Qin Zhao, his gaze fixed on her.
After a moment, he hesitated and spoke, "Miss Qin, are you really in that kind of relationship with Sheng Xi?"
Qin Zhao ignored him and didn't answer.
She had nothing to say to this Qing Dynasty zombie.
If circumstances allowed, it would be more appropriate to give him a good beating.
She stayed silent, but couldn't bear Hu Zi's thick-skinned persistence in starting a conversation.
"How can a woman be with another woman?
Life is incomplete without finding a man to marry and have children with."
"In my family, there used to be a girl with that kind of orientation. After being sent for treatment, she became normal.
Do you want me to introduce you to a doctor who specializes in treating this?"
