59: The female celebrities' illicit affairs with Ye Bai, and the appearance of the Corpse-Scented Devil's Tongue!
Wu Jing's nostrils flared; he felt that something was wrong.
This scent was too fragrant, and too pungent!
He looked closely and saw an exceptionally large flower appearing on a small hill about a hundred meters away.
The body of the flower resembled a giant trumpet; the back was green, but the petals inside were purple.
In the center was a stamen shaped like a sharp arrow or a small mountain.
It looked incredibly strange.
"Is that thing where the smell is coming from?"
Wu Jing murmured. Ye Bai stepped forward and directly interrupted him.
"Cover your mouths, everyone! Don't breathe it in!"
Wu Jing was surprised, while Hua Hua was dissatisfied.
"It's so fragrant, why won't you let us smell it? This scent smells better than perfume. I feel like we could take it back; maybe we could develop a new type of perfume!"
The corner of Ye Bai's mouth curled slightly.
"Perfume? Are you sure it's not stench-water?"
Hua Hua was stunned.
"What?"
The audience was also left somewhat confused by Ye Bai.
[Holy crap! This is the first time I've seen such a huge flower... what kind of flower is this?]
[It's so beautiful! It really looks amazing, I really want to take it home! No wonder Hua Hua likes it; anyone would.]
[This delicate, dripping flower! This stamen shimmering with golden light! Even someone like me who doesn't like raising flowers is damn well captivated by it!]
[But this situation is just too eerie. Why do I feel like it's so strange? This is clearly the middle of nowhere, so how can there be such a large, fresh flower? And why did Ye Bai call it stench-water? I see the other celebrities reacting like it's so fragrant!]
[Ye Bai, hurry up and tell us, what's the deal?]
...The next moment.
Before Ye Bai could speak, the audience noticed something was wrong.
First was Cai Xukun; he suddenly began shouting at the air.
"Ah, so many Ghost Eagles! Don't attack me, don't attack me! Go attack Ye Bai, he's powerful!"
Audience: ...After Cai Xukun finished shouting, he jumped straight off the boat and started running around with his head in his hands. If you didn't know better, you'd really think something was chasing him.
But in reality, the viewers in the Live Stream Room didn't see any so-called Ghost Eagles at all!
For a moment, the audience fell into a collective silence.
Yet Cai Xukun was still screaming.
"Holy crap! How did they get here?"
"Brother Jing! Help!"
"Brother Jing, these things are coming over! Do something! The Corpse Beetles are here too, Brother Jing!!"
The second person to show symptoms was Bai Lu. Her face was flushed, and her body writhed on the ground as her cherry-red mouth let out continuous whimpering sounds.
"Ye Bai, you're so amazing."
"Ye Bai, right now... I've actually liked you for a long time. Ye Bai, take me!"
"Ye Bai, from now on, I'm yours!"
...The third, the fourth... slowly, everyone began to show symptoms, including the Cameramen; they were all affected.
The emotional value Yang Mi and the others were providing was mostly directed at Ye Bai.
They all seemed to be having intimate encounters with Ye Bai.
However, the others weren't as exaggerated as Bai Lu. Some seemed to be on a date, some seemed to be bathing, while only Bai Lu had already 'gotten together' with him.
Meanwhile, Zhang Dada and the others appeared very panicked. They were either being chased and beaten by Ghost Eagles, bitten by swarms of Corpse Beetles, or possessed by female ghosts.
The most exaggerated was Zhang Dada, who was actually chuckling there.
"Lu Lu, Mi Mi, and Yue Yue, come, give this King a smile. Tell me, which one of you should this King favor tonight?!!!!"
"Ah, Reba, what are you doing? Why do you have scissors? Ah!!! My lower body! This King has become a eunuch!!!!"
...At this moment, in the center of the scene, only Ye Bai's expression was completely normal.
Just as everyone was wondering what would happen to Ye Bai, they saw him pull out a Dagger and then suddenly throw it toward the nearest person, Wu Jing.
That scene left everyone dumbfounded.
[Wait! What's going on? Ye Bai, what are you doing? That's Wu Jing! Ah, Wu Jing, watch out!]
[Holy shit, holy shit, it's a murder!]
[My god, what is happening? Ye Bai, you... don't do it!]
[Ye Bai, Ye Bai, what are you doing? No, Ye Bai!]
[Mi Mi, Lu Lu, stop being so thirsty and stop Ye Bai! My god, Brother Jing, my Brother Jing is going to die!]
[What the hell is going on? As soon as they saw the flower, everyone turned into this. My god, I'm going crazy too. Ye Bai, you're finished, you actually tried to kill Brother Jing!]
[My Reba! Stop panting! My god, I can't even watch this screen anymore, what do I do?]
[Production Team, save them! What the hell is happening? Do you really want the celebrity group to be wiped out?]
The audience was terrified seeing this, especially when Ye Bai suddenly threw a flying knife directly at Wu Jing—it was practically murder!
Soon, as the audience spread the word, the popularity of the Live Stream Room surged once again.
The news of the celebrities collectively having accidents spread like wildfire, once again taking the number one spot on the trending searches of the Great Xia internet.
Many fans, upon seeing this, felt a mix of anticipation, heartache, and shock.
Fortunately, Ye Bai's Dagger hit Wu Jing, but the injury didn't look severe.
However, such dangerous behavior still left countless viewers dissatisfied, and they called the Production Team.
[Holy crap! What kind of show is your Production Team arranging? This isn't a show, this is murder, do you hear me? Murder!!!]
[My Reba! You Production Team must give the public an explanation. Why did they suddenly become like this?]
[How did your Production Team choose the filming location? What exactly is going on? Tell us already!!]
[Production Team, speak up! What's happening? Why did it turn out like this? Give us an explanation.]
[Right! Just for traffic and to attract fans, you actually disregarded my Great One's life. You're despicable...]
[Production Team, you better realize what you're doing, otherwise this is murder. I'm going to report your show!!!]
Quite a few fans actually went to report it.
Even more fans turned into keyboard warriors, lashing out wildly.
The show itself had many unreasonable aspects from the start. First, there weren't enough support staff.
Second: The place was so desolate and even a forbidden zone!
Third: Northern Myanmar is full of danger, and they are all celebrities.
Fourth: There were quite a few idiots among the celebrities.
If it weren't for the occasional care from Ye Bai, Wu Jing, and Yang Mi, this show should have ended long ago.
What everyone expected was crisis + tourism + interaction!
Now it had turned from an adventure show into a mystery-solving show.
Strictly speaking, people preferred watching this, but there had to be a premise of safety. People like seeing danger, but it doesn't mean they like seeing people die.
That would cause psychological trauma.
The Production Team was overwhelmed by the endless bombardment. If it weren't for the sky-high popularity and the huge support from above, the director would have prepared to run away long ago.
They were now just thankful they had chosen Ye Bai; otherwise, this game would be impossible to play.
Just as the Production Team was thinking about how to let the show continue normally, the professors at the Yanjing Botanical Research Institute thousands of miles away all cried out in shock:
"Corpse Scent Konjac??????"
