She hooked her arms around the young ladies’ necks and whispered, “The day after we got married, my husband received the imperial order to go out to battle, so I don’t know him well. All I know is that he has a huge fear of insects, just like the monster.”
A fear of insects?
Yun Liuli thought about it carefully.
The information Team Blue gathered was that Su Manman’s husband was ferocious and capable.
Team Blue was speechless.
What kind of a clue was that?
Du Wenjie from Team Blue said that Su Manman’s husband was Shi Hanchu. However, since the team could only make one guess, they didn’t dare to confirm it. After all, they would have the completed map in their hands once they found the last piece.
However, Yun Liuli’s brows were tightly knitted.
Liu Yuxi mumbled, “Fear of insects? No wonder there were bugs crawling out when we fell into the hole. Does this mean one of us is the reincarnation of Sister Manman’s husband? Sister Feifei was very scared of the bugs. Could it be Sister Feifei? After all… there’s no telling what one’s gender is in their next life!”
Fu Tianci added that since the husband was ferocious and capable, he could be an athlete, and Zhang Yihan was the only athlete guest on the show that day.
But Shi Hanchu played the extremely ferocious and capable general, Xie Xun, in “The General”, and looking at the way Su Manman was dressed… it had to be a reference to “The General”!
The members of Team Blue couldn’t arrive at a conclusion.
Shi Hanchu’s team’s clue was ambiguous and practically useless.
Yun Liuli’s clue suddenly reminded her of the last checkpoint, where the vampire gave each of them an electronic locust cage. He said that if they accidentally woke the dragon, they could use the locusts to fight it!
That meant that… the dragon was afraid of insects!
Yun Liuli suddenly remembered the watch the production crew had given her. She turned around so that her back was to the members of Team Blue. She pulled up her sleeve and glanced at the watch… then looked like she had understood everything. She covered the watch with her sleeve, grabbed Liu Yuxi’s arm, and ran.
Fu Tianci and Du Wenjie were dumbfounded as they watched the members of Team Red run away. They asked Shi Hanchu, “What do we do?”
Shi Hanchu was deep in thought, his brows furrowed. As Su Manman’s clues were too vague, he was still thinking about how bugs crawled out of the hole after Team Red and Team Unlucky fell into it, as well as how everyone reacted.
“Sister Liuli! What are we running for?” Liu Yuxi asked while running.
“Did you notice the watch that the production crew gave us? On the watch face, there’s an image of a Western dragon breathing fire towards the 5 o’clock mark! If I’m right, that means that at 5 pm, the dragon will awaken and breathe fire!”
The film crew was speechless.
Why did the little vixen figure out all their detailed arrangements? Couldn’t she give others a chance?
Liu Yuxi wanted to look down at her watch but was dragged away by Yun Liuli before she could do so.
“Are we running away then?” Liu Yuxi panted.
Yun Liuli replied without turning back, “At the last checkpoint, the vampire gave each of us an electronic locust cage and told us to use it to defeat the sleeping dragon if we woke it up. That means the dragon is afraid of insects!”
Liu Yuxi’s eyes lit up. “So, the dragon is Sister Manman’s husband?”
The film crew was speechless.
Why were the both of them so smart?
Hmph, but aged ginger was more pungent!
The film crew didn’t believe that the two of them would be able to figure out the elaborate setup that took so many bright minds to come up with!
Before the film crew could gloat for too long, Yun Liuli spoke up again…
“The dragon on the watch face is a Western dragon, and in Western culture, dragons love to accumulate wealth through unfair means! However, the production crew divided the map into several parts—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. Those are Eastern elements!”
Behind the monitor, the film crew began to feel uneasy.
“In Eastern culture, dragons are a symbol of holiness! So, I think… in this treasure hunt segment, there has to be a treasure box and a key, and these will be guarded by two dragons. The Western dragon, which represents greed, will guard the treasure box, while the Eastern dragon will guard the key!”
The film crew was speechless.
The film crew sighed in defeat. Couldn’t Yun Liuli just follow their hints, choose to believe that there was only one dragon, and find Su Manman’s husband?
Liu Yuxi nodded earnestly. “Then, since Sister Manman was dressed up as an Eastern general, her husband is the Eastern dragon!”
“Based on the Eastern elements, the Azure Dragon represents the east, the White Tiger represents the west, the Vermilion Bird represents the south, the Black Tortoise represents the north, and the Yellow Dragon represents the center. The map was divided into four equal pieces, which means that the intersection point is the location of the Eastern dragon! Thank goodness we’ve already seen two pieces of the map. That’s enough to determine where the Eastern dragon is. Let’s go get the key first! The exact location of the Western dragon should be indicated on the most important piece of the map, the White Tiger map, which is with Sister Manman right now!”
The film crew was speechless.
The film crew had no words to describe Yun Liuli!
Couldn’t she just film the program? Why did she insist on abusing the film crew like this?
At first, the film crew was extremely confident in the plot they had come up with. They thought that even the smart people would be misled. If the guests couldn’t complete the missions by 8 pm, they could even have a segment where the guests interact intimately with an albino Burmese python!
Viewers loved segments like that, where celebrities were abused!
But, why didn’t Yun Liuli behave like they thought she would?
Was she sent there to abuse the film crew?
When Yun Liuli and Liu Yuxi reached the cave where the Eastern dragon was located, they saw the 3D holographic projection of an Eastern dragon created by the production crew—just as they expected.
The Eastern dragon hovered in mid-air while guarding the key to the treasure box placed on an ancient stone table. It asked them who they were.
Yun Liuli said that Wei Xueyang had entrusted her with the task of finding her husband.
The golden dragon hovering in mid-air painfully twisted around itself as it thought of its wife and eventually fell to the floor as a person. It said that it didn’t have much time left, and it pleaded with Yun Liuli to take it to see its wife.
Yun Liuli took the key and quickly brought the general to see his wife. When the two of them met, they turned into flower petals and vanished. Yun Liuli then received the White Tiger map—the last piece of the completed map—which represented the west and confirmed the location of the Western dragon.
Yun Liuli initially wanted to arrive at the location before 5 pm, but she didn’t make it in time!
When they arrived at the location, they saw a 3D holographic projection of a dragon sitting atop a treasure chest.
Just when Liu Yuxi was about to give up, Yun Liuli opened the electronic locust cage that the vampire had given to her. The sound of locusts followed, causing the dragon to cry out, spread its wings, and fly away. It could only hover in mid-air and watch Yun Liuli open the treasure chest, as it didn’t dare to come back down.
Hence, Yun Liuli’s Team Red unsurprisingly won…
