The King's ReturnCh214.1 - Punishment

translator: Oyen  editor: Ciel

Within five minutes, the official website was spammed by countless messages from the audience, as gloating netizens left a variety of punishment ideas. q2lzUP

Looking at how the number of messages broke one million in an instant, Ye Chao sighed. “It seems that everyone wants to give the red team a hard time, leaving so many punishment ideas.”

“Imitate the calls of a kitten, puppy, wolf… act coquettish and ask the husband to buy a bag…” Liang Ru coughed. “These punishments sound a little immoral.”

Ye Chao smiled. “Next, the system will select a punishment randomly from everyone’s messages. Who will be the first one up?”

“Ladies first,” Qin Mo replied, his expression serious. “Xuewei will go first.” cySJWA

Zhou Xuewei: “…”

He sold his sister without any hesitation! Zhou Xuewei had no choice but to step forward. “Will I be drawing the punishment?” she asked Ye Chao.

Ye Chao nodded. “En. After I say ‘start’, the wheel will start spinning. You may call out ‘stop’ at any time, and the message that it lands on will be the punishment you have to complete.”

Zhou Xuewei nodded to show her understanding.

“Are you ready?” Ye Chao asked.

“En,” Zhou Xuewei nodded. “Let’s start.”

The display on the large screen began flashing through tens of thousands of comments. After a few moments, Zhou Xuewei called out, “Stop”.

One particular message was selected and enlarged on the screen. The message was: “I’m a very kind-hearted person, I won’t ask for too much! If a great god picks this message, just sing a nursery rhyme.” 32PpN6

The audience burst into loud boos. Obviously, they were unsatisfied by the punishment.

Ye Chao smiled. “Xuewei is quite lucky, managing to draw this message from a kind-hearted netizen.”

“En,” Zhou Xuewei agreed. “Thank you to this kind-hearted netizen, I will fulfill this request… since he didn’t specify a song, can I sing whatever I want?”

“As long as you follow the rules, it’s fine,” Ye Chao nodded. Jesa79

After thinking for a few moments, Zhou Xuewei sang ‘Grandma’s Penghu Bay’ acapella. Her voice was very clear, just like the spring water that ran through the mountains. Many members of the audience couldn’t help but sing along to this familiar tune, filling the area with the melody of ‘Grandma’s Penghu Bay’

After her song, Zhou Xuewei bowed to the audience. “Thank you.”

“How about we go from left to right,” Qin Mo suggested. Zhou Xuewei was on the far left of the team, and next to her was Chen Jiang, Frost Moon’s captain.

“God Mo, you are suspected of evading punishment!” Chen Jiang accused.

“Being first is the same as being last anyway,” Qin Mo replied seriously. “The punishment is determined randomly.” JHCg0R

It was obvious that he wanted to delay the time, but he spoke such high-sounding words… god Mo, even if you drag it out, you won’t be able to escape!

Chen Jiang smiled. “If you go last, you might draw a very difficult punishment.”

“It might also be very simple.” Qin Mo replied.

“Alright.” Chen Jiang had no choice but to walk to the middle of the stage. IjrbW3

After Ye Chao signalled to start, Chen Jiang immediately called for the wheel to stop.

This time, the message enlarged on the screen read: “Please select anyone, and while pounding on his chest, yell out ‘you’re so annoying’.”

Seeing this message, Chen Jiang felt somewhat unhappy—— Could he actually be somewhat unlucky? In the first half of the year, he won fourth place in every competition, failing to get the trophy every time. And now, when randomly selecting a punishment, he actually got this sort of abnormal request… 

“Captain Chen, this punishment is a little difficult,” Ye Chao gloated. “I’ll give you half a minute to adjust your mood and decide on your partner.” bFYQI5

Glancing around, Chen Jiang finally decided on a person.

Having met Chen Jiang’s gaze, Qin Mo immediately took a step back. Sure enough, Chen Jiang boldly walked over to Qin Mo. “I think I’ll select the red team’s captain.”

“… Can I refuse?” Qin Mo asked.

“No,” Liang Ru smiled. “If the punishment requires an interaction between multiple people, the chosen player cannot refuse.” pDkUIq

“Oh.” Qin Mo could only stay in place, staring at Chen Jiang with a serious expression.

Walking over, Chen Jiang gently thumped his shoulder. “Annoy…”

The two stared each other in the eye. A few moments later, Chen Jiang finally burst into loud peals of laughter—— Qin Mo really was too uncooperative. Faced with such a stern expression, Chen Jiang had no way to perform his act.

“No good, I want to change a partner.” Chen Jiang resolutely gave up on Qin Mo, turning to Nie Yuzhu instead. Having spent three years in the Wulin league together, he and captain Nie were more familiar. Although Nie Yuzhu had a calm personality, and Chen Jiang had never heard him tell a joke before, it was possible that old acquaintances might perform better. zfcv0P

Chen Jiang walked over to captain Nie, winking at him. “Old Nie, cooperate with me a little.”

Nie Yuzhu: “…”

Looking at Chen Jiang approaching him coquettishly with a straight face, slapping his shoulder while calling out ‘You’re so annoying’, Nie Yuzhu felt extremely uncomfortable. He somehow had the thought: if he was reminded of today’s drama when meeting Chen Jiang in future competitions, he might actually try to kill Chen Jiang immediately.

The sound of the audience’s laughter caused Chen Jiang to feel somewhat embarrassed. Turning around, he glanced at the emcees. “Have I passed?” Ar7EzM

Seeing captain Chen’s pitiful state, Ye Chao very compassionately let him off the hook. “You pass.”

The next person to be punished was Luo Yuan, whose punishment was relatively simple. “Please look at the camera with a shocked expression and maintain it for half a minute.”

Luo Yuan stood in front of the camera, scratching the back of his head as he thought about it. He wasn’t a professional actor, so it was difficult for him to adjust his expression quickly; he had to rely on a memory to do it. Just then, he thought of the moment when he walked in on Zhu Qingyue and Chu Yan, and his expression changed immediately.

Luo Yuan’s expression was shown on the large screen; his eyes were blown wide open, his jaw going slack, completely conveying a shocked yet dull look. dzHvdY

The audience watching the live broadcast immediately sent flowers to encourage this performance. “Captain Luo is a real film emperor!”

“This expression is really godly!” 

“What is he thinking about, to look so shocked?”

“This expression can be saved as an emoticon pack, with this sentence: I am really shocked!” ALieO7

Netizens immediately started making memes of this moment. However, no one noticed that Zhu Qingyue’s ears had turned red—— because he knew very well what his senior brother was thinking of. This expression was the exact same one as last night, when senior brother saw him kissing Chu Yan!

Luo Yuan stayed in front of the camera for half a minute with his shocked expression. Ye Chao rushed forward to remind him: “Captain Luo, time is up, it’s ok!”

“Ah?…Oh.” Coming back to his senses, Luo Yuan rubbed his nose awkwardly.

“Can you tell us what you were thinking about just now?” Ye Chao smiled. 2OXZw

“Nothing, it’s just…” Luo Yuan coughed. “I just thought of something that surprised me a little.”

He casually offered an answer before returning to the red team, only to meet Zhu Qingyue’s gaze along the way. Embarrassed, both martial brothers immediately averted their gazes.

Xie Changming’s punishment was to imitate a rooster’s crowing. However, much to the audience’s surprise, he actually managed to imitate it well.

Listening to the clucking, it was as if Ye Chao had discovered a whole new world. “I didn’t expect vice-captain Xie to have this talent; can you imitate other animals?” Cb8g4L

“Wolf, dog, cat, pig, cow, bird… I can imitate most animals.” Xie Changming smiled.

“Can you try it for us to hear?” Liang Ru was curious.

Xie Changming didn’t hold back, howling like a wolf before chirping like a bird. His imitations were very realistic, earning him a deafening applause from the audience. Despite his usual unreliable carelessness, he was actually quite the versatile talent, not just in music but also in learning the unique sounds of various animals!

There were still three people unpunished from the red team—— Lin Shuangcheng, Chu Jianxin and Qin Mo. jrVoBd

Qin Mo pushed Lin Shuangcheng out first. Knowing that he couldn’t avoid it, Lin Shuangcheng could only gracefully submit, walking to the center of the stage to choose his punishment.

“Please call a friend of the same gender and imitate a conversation held between a loving couple. Your tone should be gentle. Pretend that you are on a business trip, and care greatly for the other person. Give him a warm greeting and at the end, tell him: baby, I love you.”

Lin Shuangcheng: “…”

Which netizen sent in this comment? If you come out, I swear that I won’t beat you to death. 4FzArb

The live broadcast room immediately blew up. Many of Lin Shuangcheng’s fans expressed their eagerness to listen to the male god’s gentle pampering!

The audience spammed the screen: “Captain Lin, call me!”

“Call me, and I’ll pay for your phone bill~”

“I want to know what the gentle and caring captain Lin is like!” 8dAfn5

Many of Lin Shuangcheng’s fans were online to watch the carnival. Now that he was getting punished, the number of viewers on the official live broadcast had increased by several thousands.

“Same-sex friend,” Ye Chao continued to gloat. “Captain Lin, have you thought of who you want to call?”

Holding his forehead in distress, Lin Shuangcheng sighed. “I’ve thought of someone… let’s just start.”

“Everyone, please keep quiet,” Ye Chao ordered. “Prop group, please bring a phone over. Captain Lin, whenever you’re ready.” Co4Bdb
