Chapter 2208 - 2211: High Score for Energetic Singing and Dancing

The moment Shen Qiang spoke, Gong Ziyi's heart was instantly filled with rage, and his entire face and eyes turned vicious.

"Impressive, you Shen Qiang are something. Even if you let me win, do you think I, Gong Ziyi, can't handle it? You're bold enough to say such arrogant words in front of me? You actually look down on me like this?"

Gong Ziyi's fury didn't affect Shen Qiang at all.

Calmly, Shen Qiang, who had just greeted Ye Guyun and the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon with a slight smile, unusually calmly said, "It's not that I'm looking down on you, it's just that I'm stating a fact."

Upon hearing this, Gong Ziyi was infuriated.

Not only did he clench his fists, but the quietly surging True Yuan was clearly about to explode and hurt someone. But just as Shen Qiang smiled faintly, calmly activated Plague Source, and prepared to punch him, the furious Gong Ziyi took a deep breath and suddenly smiled.

"Shen Qiang, trying to provoke me, this trash talk isn't enough."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed, "You're a shameless person, if you don't care, then it doesn't matter."

Gong Ziyi, with a grim face, remained silent for a moment and then smiled, "Today, Qian Ning is sure to lose this competition, so put away your arrogance, Shen Qiang, don't think you're invincible, or I wouldn't mind teaching you a lesson."

Shen Qiang calmly raised his brows and said, "Alright, Gong Ziyi, I'm looking forward to your lesson, but I'm afraid you… can't do it!"

Gong Ziyi was angry, snorted coldly, and said nothing more.

Meanwhile,

The live broadcast of the second round of the semi-final of the top sixteen had already begun.

Although it was a local TV talent show, the overall quality of the singers was quite outstanding.

Because most of them came from major musical academies and were professionally trained in singing.

After all, relying solely on a hobby to make a splash in such a talent show is undoubtedly very difficult, not impossible, but highly unlikely, because singing requires not only talent but also diligent practice.

Even professionals may not be satisfactory, and pure amateur interest is often even less reliable.

Especially when it comes to the top sixteen.

The remaining ones are all elites.

Things like going off-key, hitting wrong notes, basically didn't exist.

Every singer who took the stage displayed professional-level standards.

So although some were inattentive, it was obviously not too hard to endure.

Soon, it was the turn of the girl Gong Ziyi was promoting to take the stage.

By now, she was already painstakingly prepared.

With long false eyelashes and cosmetic contact lenses, her eyes looked huge, and with makeup, her lips were red and teeth white, coupled with a decent figure and the meticulously crafted look, even Shen Qiang had to admit that under Gong Ziyi's promotion, from her appearance, figure, and aura on stage, she was at least above eight out of ten.

Especially her, wearing black ultra-short shorts, which made her legs look extremely fair, the high-waist shorts inexplicably had the ability to elongate the leg contours visually, so the moment she took the stage, the audience members were already screaming.

This made Gong Ziyi smirk, glanced at Shen Qiang teasingly, and said, "Opportunities are for those who are prepared. Qian Ning is arrogant, she thinks having a good voice will make everyone acknowledge her, but she ignores a harsh reality, that no matter how strong a person is, they can't beat a complete team."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled slightly, "When it comes to singing, Qian Ning can't lose, so your joke isn't funny."

Gong Ziyi laughed, calmly watching the girl on stage, raised his brows, and said, "Yes, you're right, when it comes to not singing, she's indeed not as good as Qian Ning, but she's not so proud, she's full of charm, she's willing to show off her legs in front of people, act coquettish, but Qian Ning doesn't dare, she looks so rustic, in those long pants, so conservative like someone ancient, if she can win, that's the real joke."

Shen Qiang raised his brows and said, "A singing competition to sell sex, this kind of thing, only this scoundrel's people around you would do."

Gong Ziyi sneered, "Victory is king, defeat is for thieves, why are Korean girl groups popular? Pretty faces, sweet voices, seductive dance moves. So your trash talk is meaningless, not daring to wear a short skirt, not daring to show your strengths to thousands of audiences, it would be unfair if Qian Ning didn't lose."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled slightly, calmly said, "My woman would never flaunt her allure in front of anyone other than me. But the young master is different, encouraging your women to show off their legs. Could it be you think your head lacks a piece of grassland? If so, I'm sure countless people would be willing to satisfy you."

"You!" Gong Ziyi was speechless, furious.

But it was useless, Shen Qiang was neither scared nor angry.

"Young master, calm down," comforted by a servant on the side, Gong Ziyi chose to remain silent.

Meanwhile, the girl Gong Ziyi was promoting had started her performance on stage.

Almost as she opened her mouth, the entire atmosphere became lively.

Because despite all the trash talk, even Shen Qiang had to admit that this girl, properly made-up, on stage, indeed exuded charm.

A clear voice, full of explosiveness.

An enchanting figure, accompanied by seductive dance moves.

Throwing flirtatious glances, pouting, blowing kisses, kicking legs, it was truly as alluring as could be.

In no time, with shocked hot dancing, the whole atmosphere was lively.

So that when her song ended, not only did the three judges give an average score of 27 out of 30,

she also received 334 of the 400 audience votes present.

As for online voting outside, it requires time for counting and will be announced later.

Such good results made Gong Ziyi proud, and he said, "Shen Qiang, didn't you see? With my help, an ugly duckling can become a white swan, this is my capability, understand?"

Shen Qiang calmly raised his brows and said, "Fool, the ugly duckling didn't become a swan because it was a swan all along. Qian Ning won't lose, just wait and see."

Hearing this, Gong Ziyi sneered, "Okay, but it's obvious, I think I must remind you that the live scores are for reference only, the real decision for victory is the online voting, understand? Shen Qiang, you fool, by now, don't you know you're bound to lose?"

Hearing this, Shen Qiang slightly raised his brows, then smiled and said, "You despicable guy, you couldn't manipulate things at the TV station, so you changed the rules to cheat online? This method is truly immature."

"As long as we can win, the means don't matter," Gong Ziyi raised his brows and smiled, "So, you lost."
