DTBS - Chapter 80

Chapter 80: Fired Up

Carrying Qin Qingshang forward, stepping onto the swaying suspension bridge, Tao Qiuyun remained proper and reserved, without the slightest intention of taking advantage. However, the woman on her back wasn't very cooperative. Perhaps out of fear, she felt those legs tighten around her waist.

"Qiuqiu, your face is so hot. Are you tired?" Qin Qingshang whispered close to her ear. "Why don't you just put me down? I feel like my foot doesn't hurt anymore."

"I'm not tired," Tao Qiuyun's cheeks were flushed with heat, and her ears tickled from the woman's breath. While happy about Qin Qingshang's closeness, she didn't dare turn her head. She could only suppress the flutter in her heart and explain, "I'm just not used to being this close to someone... so... I'm a bit shy."

"So you're shy?" The Cat went straight to the point.

"...Yes." Tao Qiuyun admitted. Facing the person she liked, there was no need to hide anything.

Oh, right, there was one thing she needed to hide: her love for her. Otherwise, it would scare Qin Qingshang and make her propose divorce early.

Even if there were only six months left, that was still six months, wasn't it? She still had six months to try and make Qin Qingshang like her. If they divorced now, she would truly lose everything...

So, Tao Qiuyun added, "After all, Miss Qin is so beautiful. Being this close to you, anyone would be shy."

The Cat was speechless.

She was talking about something intimate between the two of them, and this person had to push it onto everyone!

Tao Qiuyun's single sentence instantly shattered all the pink bubbles.

"I want to get down," Qin Qingshang said, tightening her grip around Tao Qiuyun's neck. "I can walk by myself now."

"...Then, after we cross this bridge, I'll put you down, okay?" Tao Qiuyun tried to negotiate.

Although it sounded a bit pathetic, she didn't want to let go of this rare opportunity for such close contact with Qin Qingshang.

Hearing her say this, the Cat became even more frustrated.

Damn it! Tao Qiuyun, this blockhead, didn't notice her little actions at all!

It seemed that subtle, indirect hints wouldn't work on someone like Tao Qiuyun. She had to be direct all the time.

【Sea King Qiu isn't used to being this close to people? Who are you kidding? She was so skilled at giving flowers to the female guests before.】

【I mean, is there a possibility that you think she's a Sea King, but she's not? She just wanted to find a girlfriend on the romance show, and clearly, she's found one now (dog head)】

【Hahahaha, Qiu Yi looks so pure. I really don't believe this kind of person is a Sea King, unless she's really good at faking it.】

【I strongly agree that she's not a Sea King, because some of her actions are things a Sea King would never do. She really, you can tell at a glance, is a true gentleman. She could make Daji herself turn back into her original form and pet her.】

【Some things are ingrained in the bones and can't be changed. Yes, I'm talking about Qiu Yi. How can you stand it?! Isn't Qin Qingshang beautiful? With such a beauty clinging to you, aren't you tempted?! You actually agreed to put her down, did you become a monk?!】

【Honestly, I watched this romance show initially just to curse away anyone who coveted my Sister, but who knew...Wuwuwu, they're so compatible! Please get married!】

【Unfollowing if Qin Qingshang falls in love】

【Lol, my Sister is an actress. What does falling in love have to do with fans? As long as she likes it, as long as he/she is good to her, I'll fully support it!】

After crossing the suspension bridge, Tao Qiuyun put Qin Qingshang down. After confirming she could walk fine, she felt relieved and let her walk by herself.

They walked to the bluestone tablet. Tao Qiuyun placed the comb down, and soon a ghostly old Taoist appeared, giving her a peach wood sword said to be able to slay all demons.

Qin Qingshang placed the prayer beads in the bowl and received the key to activate the great formation. A voice-over told her to work for the revival of the demon realm. As long as she activated the formation and the ancestor revived, she would be the next king.

Clearly, this haunted house was a faction-based game. Qin Qingshang was on the solo-win route, while Tao Qiuyun was the leader of the good faction.

"Qiuqiu, kill me," the Cat closed her eyes, looking ready to sacrifice herself for the greater good. "Kill the Boss, and you'll clear the level directly."

"I can't bring myself to kill you. I can't do it." Tao Qiuyun shook her head and handed the sword to Qin Qingshang, who suddenly opened her eyes, looking happy.

She paused, seemingly a little reluctant, but continued, "Why don't you end yourself?"

The Cat's smile gradually disappeared: ...?

The ghost who gave the sword: Uh...

Bullet comments: (Slowly typing a question mark)

Tao Aiqin: (Fainted from shock)

System: 6

Big Bold: Woof!

Xia Xianglu: Help...

Tao Shizhou: There's no need to be that righteous.

The Cat, fuming with anger, decisively took the sword, instinctively twirled it, then stabbed the Taoist in front of her, and finally committed suicide to save the world.

Qin Qingshang: I can die, but you won't live either!

Tao Qiuyun: ...Being on the same team as her, we really can't win the game.

【Hahahahahaha, I'm dying of laughter, I'm really dying of laughter this time!】

【Look at Qiu Yi's surprised expression, hahahaha, this is called the tables have turned.】

【Qin Qingshang: You're the only one who can talk, huh? Die for me!】

【These two, they've got something going on.】

【Sister Qin's sword flourish, still so graceful and beautiful. As expected of the righteous sword immortal from 《White Robed Minister》.】

【Little couple, after the initial werewolf game, they once again died together.】

【Both times to fulfill the good faction's goal. These two are too tragic (dog head)】

【Ahhhhh, Director! Can you make a script where they save the world while staying alive?!】

【Lol, what was I even expecting from Qiu Yi? I actually thought she'd say something nice.】

【Ehehehe, Sister Qin : It's fired up!】

【Want to cover Sister Qiu's mouth. Sister was just happy for a moment, and then she got ignited again.】

The haunted house staff had never seen such a scene either: Truly, live long enough and you'll see everything. It's not common to see a little couple turn against each other over a game.

The fox demon was a good fox demon, even willing to sacrifice herself for the world. As for the Taoist, well, a girlfriend who tells you to end yourself is indeed a bit hard to bear, even for the sake of the world.

Killing the heartless person before dying together, what a passionate fox...

However, the original script was about an evil demon Boss and a righteous Taoist, a traditional story of vanquishing demons and upholding justice. How did it turn into a story of a heartless person and a lovesick demon in their hands?

Strange!

After leaving the haunted house, Tao Qiuyun, Qin Qingshang, Ming Siwen, and Zhou Linwan regrouped.

Zhou Linwan was complaining to Ming Siwen about her haunted house experience. She sighed, "It was really scary. I explored cautiously the whole time, but my progress was too slow. Then suddenly, they told me the demon's barrier was broken, and I was free."

Ming Siwen smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I just got the compass that could point to the great demon's revival spot, and then suddenly we cleared the level. It seems there were high-level players in our group who quickly found the mastermind Boss and took them down..."

She saw Qin Qingshang and waved, "Qingshang, you guys are out too? Were you also carried through the level halfway through your task?"

The Cat sneered, "Yes, I was carried through, carried to heaven."

Tao Qiuyun: "..." Actually, I could have won, and I wouldn't have had to die.

Ming Siwen: "Uh..." Did I say something wrong?

Zhou Linwan: "..." The atmosphere between them is so strange, let me look again.

【Hahahaha, help, carried to heaven is hilarious】

【Although it's inappropriate, I want to say... the Taoist and the fox demon, they should be reporting to the underworld (dog head)】

【The video is edited, everyone is welcome to search on Dimensional Network for "The Past and Present Lives of the Taoist and the Fox Demon"】

【Hahahaha, Sister Qiu only wears modern clothes, right?】

【The rose tapping on the chest is so sensual, so sensual. It feels like they're going to do it in the next second.】

【Samoyed: Your Majesty, I am truly a white fox.】

【No, no, Sister Qin looks like a feline. The way she hooked her neck around Qiu Yi's back earlier showed such strong possessiveness!】

【Hehehe, Sister Qin 】

After the haunted house trip, the four began preparing for today's dating mission. Since Ming Siwen didn't like thrilling rides, she sat on a chair to enjoy the scenery. Qin Qingshang followed Tao Qiuyun and Zhou Linwan onto the roller coaster and the log flume.

Speeding along, the cold wind whistling, feeling the weightlessness from the drops, Qin Qingshang vented all her inner frustration through screams.

Damn it, damn it! Tao Qiu Yi! So insensitive!

Tao Qiuyun, sitting next to her and almost getting shaken dizzy again: ...

She can really scream. Doesn't her throat get tired?

After getting off the ride, the vented Qin Cat felt light all over, and her expression was no longer as chilly as before, clearly back to normal.

The three of them met up with Ming Siwen.

"I just saw there's a shooting gallery and a dart throwing game over there," Ming Siwen said as the three walked over, ready to share her idea. "Are any of you good at these?"

"I can," Zhou Linwan raised her hand. "I throw darts at home when I have nothing to do. My aim is pretty good."

"That's great," Ming Siwen pointed in a direction, towards a small stall. She said, "I counted, that boss has his wife and two daughters, that's four people. Miss Zhou, you should ideally throw until the boss's mindset explodes and he begs us to leave. At that point, you can ask their family to say 'You two are truly compatible' to us. That way, we'll have four confirmations from passersby."

"Huh?" Zhou Linwan was shocked.

Hearing this, Qin Qingshang suddenly understood and clapped her hands, "Then I can go claw dolls until the boss begs me to leave!"

"Good point, I'll go claw with you too," Ming Siwen nodded.

Ming Siwen and Qin Qingshang teamed up for clawing dolls, while Zhou Linwan and Tao Qiuyun walked towards the dart and shooting galleries.

【《Passersby》】

【Lol, Sister Ming, turns out you're a comedian too】

【Redefining passersby】

【I was wondering what Sister Ming was doing walking around instead of sitting in the chair. Turns out she was scouting】

【Hahahahahaha, this isn't a romance show at all, it's a comedy show. I'm going to recommend it to my friends】

【She really, I'm crying】

The four split up. At this time, the bosses hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation yet. They all smiled and greeted them warmly and politely, until...

Qin Qingshang and Ming Siwen were surrounded by a bunch of kids, led by the dart shop owner's two daughters. Each held several dolls, constantly cheering for the sister they supported, seemingly competing to see whose voice was louder:

"Go, Sister!"

"Ah! This Sister clawed another one!"

"Don't lose to her, Sister!"

"Yay! Pink Cat is mine!"

The two women each focused on a machine, their eyes burning with fire, secretly—no, openly competing.

The watching boss looked left and right, sighing in pain.

Help! Is this the competitive spirit and fighting will of you female stars? Even clawing dolls has to be a competition? This is a small business, Wuwuwu.

【Hahahahahaha, help, the boss is wearing his pain mask】

【I'm shipping them so hard, I'm dying】

【Sister Ming and Sister Qin, they're so funny when they compete】

【Although it's childish, I love watching it】

【Go, Sister Ming, Sister Qin got another one】

【Lol, our Sister Qin is super good at clawing dolls. Not everyone can claw that "eight seconds" one】

【Red hot, bright, confused, hahahaha, Sister Qin reaching the peak in eight seconds is already a meme?】

Over at Zhou Linwan's:

"Please, stop throwing. I can't inflate the balloons fast enough!" - The dart shop owner, currently inflating balloons.

"Beautiful! Miss, one more!" - Onlookers who were dart enthusiasts cheering.

As for Tao Qiuyun, the scene here was a bit off.

"Beautiful! Sister, one more!" - A young male onlooker with a strange accent, looking at her with sparkling eyes.

"Sister, you're so good at shooting. Can you teach me?" - A young female onlooker, using her same-sex advantage to request to be Tao Qiuyun's apprentice.

"Can you really teach? Teach me too!" - A young girl who looked very good at acting cute.

"Perfect! Master, you're amazing!" - The energetic shooting gallery owner who immediately became an apprentice and helped inflate balloons.

【Help, does Sea King Qiu have some kind of aura? Why do I think she's both handsome and funny?】

【Hahaha, she actually thought those girls wanted to learn how to shoot】

【She's starting to teach, she's starting to teach. Did anyone go check Sister Qin's live stream?】

【Sister Qin, your wife is touching other girls' hands! (Screaming)】

【Lol, Qin Qingshang saw it】

【She's getting anxious, she's getting anxious (dog head)】

【Hahaha, there was a loud thud from Sister Qin's side hitting the button】

【Qin Qingshang: It's fired up again!】
