After Being Preached by my Senior Martial Brother

The Meaning of Life (part 1)

Without a doubt, the Sixth Prince claimed first place with an astonishing performance.

In the tug-of-war competition, it was one dog versus three dogs!

The Sixth Prince emerged victorious!

In the scavenger hunt, three dogs combined found four items, while the Sixth Prince’s lone dog found ten!

The Sixth Prince triumphed again!

In the water obstacle course, three dogs struggled through five barriers and six challenges, persistently getting back up after frequent falls into the water. The Sixth Prince, however, completely ignored the obstacles, rowing a shortcut straight to the finish line!

The Sixth Prince won overwhelmingly—

Wait a minute—

It was understandable that dogs could swim.

But why could this dog row a boat as well?!

And even if rowing was acceptable,

The Sixth Prince was rapidly paddling towards the finish line on a rubber raft in a dog-paddle style.

Meanwhile, along the way, upon seeing other dogs still struggling with the obstacles,

The dog’s face revealed a sinister and fierce smile, unhesitatingly biting all the other dogs into the water.

It was truly the tyrant among dogs.

What was this?

Like owner, like dog, right?

If Qi Zhuoyu bullied celebrities in the entertainment industry,

Did Qi Zhuoyu’s dog bully other celebrities’ dogs in the canine entertainment industry?!

Watching the Sixth Prince crash through the swimming pool,

Not only determined to reach the finish line first but also refusing to let others have a chance to survive,

How to put it…

It looked oddly familiar.

Feng Xuan suddenly remembered a thousand years ago, when he and the big devil were releasing lanterns in Chang’an. His lantern had also crashed through the Caiyu River.

And later, when they went to hang small portraits in the Furong Garden, he not only hung his own but also burned others’.

Now, even the Sixth Prince was gradually turning into the image of that lantern.

After the Sixth Prince once again pulled another family’s dog into the water,

Feng Xuan’s mouth twitched. “Senior brother, this doesn’t seem right.”

In front of everyone, wasn’t it too blatant to cheat like this!

They were still recording the show!

“What’s not right about it?” Qi Zhuoyu sneered, “Losers who fail don’t deserve to be my dog.”

Feng Xuan: “…”

Alright, understood.

Even the big devil’s dog had to be the most badass dog in the Three Realms.

Qi Zhuoyu turned his head. “What?”

Feng Xuan shook his head. “Nothing.”

“Just thinking that Senior brother’s education method is quite simple and brutal.”

“Education?” Qi Zhuoyu said, “I never taught him.”

Oh.

You didn’t teach, you led by example.jpg

“You don’t like it?” Qi Zhuoyu frowned.

He paused, then spoke. “Don’t worry. Our daughter won’t be taught to be like this in the future.”

Feng Xuan: …?

The big devil’s train of thought was a bit hard to follow.

Suddenly jumping from pet topics to parenting topics.

How come this scumbag senior brother still hadn’t given up on the wish of making him carry a baby!

Feng Xuan’s face reddened for a moment. “What does this have to do with a daughter?”

“Hmm.” Qi Zhuoyu said, “You don’t like daughters? A son is reluctantly acceptable too.”

Then he revealed a disdainful expression.

Feng Xuan: “…”

You clearly like daughters very much.

No, why was he discussing child-rearing issues with the big devil here!

Feng Xuan lowered his voice, muttering softly, “I can’t give birth!”

“I know,” Qi Zhuoyu answered irrelevantly, “Senior brother will try hard.”

Feng Xuan: “…”

His “if my wife can’t have children, it must be my problem, not my wife’s” competitive personality in the Three Realms was online again.jpg

Turning his head, he saw a camera lens pointed directly at him on the left.

Behind it, the cameraman’s innocent eyes peeked out.

Feng Xuan was silent for a second, then stared at him. “For a recorded broadcast, you shouldn’t need this footage, right? Can you delete this part about discussing children?”

The cameraman trembled: .

After a while, his brain short-circuited and he said, “Mr. Xiao Xuan, even if you’re angry, you shouldn’t give up on having children!”

Feng Xuan: “…”

So, he really couldn’t give birth, okay!

****

After the three rounds of games ended, Qi Zhuoyu and Feng Xuan’s team won with an absolute advantage, moving into the most luxurious villa closest to the sea among the four.

The other three groups of guests moved into the remaining villas according to their game rankings.

Before moving into the villas, there was a short segment to be filmed in the courtyard.

Basically, it was about asking the guests their opinions on other couples from their previous interactions, as well as their thoughts on the recording so far.

The production team had set up a temporary photo studio outside the villa.

The cameras were already set up in front of the guests.

The red recording light flickered for a moment, officially beginning.

-You’ve been recording the show for a while now. What are your thoughts on the production team?

“Thoughts?” Cao Ren used a small electric fan to cool himself, saying helplessly. “My thought is that it’s really too hot. Next time, don’t let the dogs compete, let me go to the swimming pool instead.”

Xu Qingming beside him laughed, wiping his sweat while edging closer to Cao Ren’s direction for some fan breeze. He said. “It feels quite novel. Because we just got married, and we’re usually busy filming, it’s rare to have such a variety show where I can vacation with Brother Ren. We can treat it as our honeymoon~”

“Too young.” The camera turned to Yuan Mengli. “When I was 20, I would have thought of going to the beach for a honeymoon in this heat. Now I can’t. Now I just want to lie at home and do nothing.”

“Not just now, I see you doing nothing at home all the time.” Ge Yuan happily quipped, though complaining, he looked like he enjoyed taking care of his wife. “It just feels fun. Playing with so many young people feels like getting married again, and I’ve gained new communication and understanding with my wife.”

“Can I say that I actually gained quite a few fans?” Da Lizi faced the camera and started to test the waters daringly, but immediately picked up her own punchline, waving her hands frantically. “No, no! Nevermind, director, please cut out what I just said, haha. I’ll say it again, I think it’s great because actually, many people, including my parents, didn’t approve of me and Ajin’s flash marriage. I just want to prove that as long as you meet the right person in your life, even a flash marriage can be very happy!”

“I don’t have any thoughts,” Jin Bin said, “My thought is, you see that dog from Mr. Qi’s family? Yes, that one. It sat in front of me during the college entrance exam.”

There were jokes and punchlines.

There was sentiment and humor.

Everyone was experienced in variety shows.

This segment of recording went very smoothly.

But when it came to Qi Zhuoyu,

The tone changed.

The red recording light lit up again, flickering.

The image changed from blurry to clear.

-You’ve been recording the show for a while now. What are your thoughts on the production team?

Qi Zhuoyu’s voice came through.

Cool and clear, deep and pleasant to hear.

What he said, however, was completely opposite to his voice.

“I’m super strong.”

Production team: “…?”

Qi Zhuoyu looked at the camera, sneered, and said disdainfully, “Games like just now, even if there were a hundred more, I would still be first.”

Production team: “…???”

He coldly added. “My dog too.”

Alright, great demon king.

Everyone knows you’re super strong at games.

But we asked about your feelings on participating in the show!!

What do you mean by just boasting about your game achievements!!

The production team placed all their hopes on Feng Xuan.

The camera turned to him, Feng Xuan put down the ice cream in his hand, hesitated for a moment. “I think.”

The production team members waited expectantly: Yes, yes!

Feng Xuan slowly spoke: “Senior brother is right.”

Production team: …

In some ways, you two really are a perfect pair of weirdos!

Feng Xuan was puzzled by the production team’s tearful gaze.

He couldn’t refute it either. For these small games, even if you gave Qi Zhuoyu a thousand of them, he would definitely be first.

He was cheating, you know.

Humans.

Director Wang laughed helplessly. “We originally planned a fourth mini-game, but Mr. Qi won all three rounds, so our production team didn’t even get a chance to bring out the fourth game.”

Qi Zhuoyu casually asked. “What game?”

For a marriage and relationship variety show,

The focus was on a relaxed and approachable recording style.

Director Wang chatted casually with Qi Zhuoyu.

“The Pocky game, have you heard of it, Mr. Qi?” Director Wang mentioned offhandedly.

After all, Qi Zhuoyu rarely appeared on variety shows.

His chances of encountering such variety show mini-games were almost zero.

Director Wang explained. “It’s where the married couple each bites one end of a Pocky stick, then they start eating at the same time. The first one to finish eating with Pocky still in their mouth wins~”

In short, it was a two-person mini-game very suitable for “accidents” to happen.

After all, marriage and relationship shows primarily focus on “shipping” couples. If an accidental kiss happened during the game, it would undoubtedly become the day’s explosive trending topic.

Director Wang was just mentioning it casually, intending to laugh it off and move on.

Who knew that in front of the camera, Qi Zhuoyu suddenly fell silent.

It was a deathly silence.

After a while, Qi Zhuoyu’s voice was very low, giving the impression of gritting teeth. “If there was such a game, why wasn’t it put first?”

Director Wang: …?

His smile vanished.

He trembled. “This… no matter where it’s placed, Mr. Qi would probably win… right?”

After all, Qi Zhuoyu was that type of invincible overachiever.

Would he deliberately lose the game just to kiss his wife?

Just as the production team was waiting for Qi Zhuoyu’s resounding “yes” answer,

This lifelong competitive elementary school chicken of the entertainment industry suddenly fell silent.

Production team: ???

****

In the end, Director Wang still decided to keep Qi Zhuoyu’s elementary school chicken-like answer.

The young assistant was particularly confused. “Is this really okay, Director! There’s no reflection at all!”

“What do you know,” Director Wang once again picked up his thermos, saying mysteriously. “Young fan girls nowadays love to see this kind of thing.”

But after seeking Qi Zhuoyu’s opinion, before the next task arrived,

The production team still re-recorded this reflection segment in the courtyard.

Due to time constraints, they did it during touch-up makeup time.

Qi Zhuoyu had been in the entertainment industry for three years. If it weren’t for constantly reminding himself to let the mortal world spread the love story between him and Xiao Qi,

Just the act of applying powder and rouge to his face would have been unbearable.

It was like putting a hat or bell on a big cat.

The cat would be unwilling and impatient, always trying to dodge the makeup artist’s brush.

The host asked nervously.

Afraid that if this entertainment industry demon king became unhappy, he might suddenly crush their head.

Huh?

Why crush the head?

What a strange imagination! But why did it feel oddly fitting for Qi Zhuoyu!

-What does your lover mean to you?

When asked this question again, Qi Zhuoyu didn’t show impatience.
