Chapter 2245 - 2248: An Even More Shameless Scheme

Looking at Shen Qiang with a cold smirk and a mocking gaze, Gong Ziyi's anger flared up, and he shouted, "Shen Qiang, who are you trying to impress! If you have the guts, win this round!"

Shen Qiang coldly chuckled, shook his finger at Gong Ziyi, and said, "Gong Ziyi, you'll soon learn that I never joke around."

Having said that, because it was a live broadcast, Shen Qiang maintained his smile as he took to the stage.

In an instant, the venue erupted with cheers.

"Ah, the little Prince of Music, such a handsome little Shen Qiang!"

"So handsome, with a masculine aura, tall stature, long legs, no wonder Goddess Song Weiyin likes him. I want a little brother like this too."

"What a charming smile; I looped it endlessly last night while watching his Chu Liuxiang promo with Song Weiyin. He's even more handsome in person than in the video."

"These long legs, this aura, easily outshine those famous singers who just sign autographs."

Amid the cheers from the audience in the venue.

The online live stream was even more overwhelmed with comments.

"Wow, greetings to Your Majesty!"

"Screen licking in progress; my King looks amazing!"

"Ah, it's worth waiting forever just to see my King appear."

"Salute to my King!"

The dense barrage of comments instantly covered the screen.

Undoubtedly, the rhythm was first set by those girls from the Cultivation World, since Shen Qiang is the Medicine King and King of Demons in the Cultivation World. So, any girl who likes Shen Qiang in the Cultivation World refers to him as Your Majesty online.

Especially since becoming the Medicine King.

Those who call him Qiang bro are very few.

Either Qiang Grand or Your Majesty.

However, compared to the girls who scream at the sight of Shen Qiang, those young males from the Cultivation World rarely speak up in public live chat where ordinary folks are present, so the term Qiang Grand usually only appears in the Immortal Realm Forum.

Thus, in this situation, many ordinary people, though they may not understand the story behind the term Your Majesty, inexplicably start using it too.

After all, Shen Qiang is handsome, writes good songs, and is undoubtedly an unparalleled presence in the hearts of young girls. Without a nickname, how can they show they like Shen Qiang?

Amid cheers from both the audience present and online viewers, Shen Qiang, who has fetched the microphone from the stage side, smiled as he walked up the stage.

"Hello, Mr. Shen." The host greeted him with a smile, and after receiving Shen Qiang's response, suddenly grinned and said, "Mr. Shen, ever since the top eight battle, the song 'Live Beautifully and Show You' that you wrote for Qian Ning has had more than a million downloads in just a day, topping all the major pop charts. What are your thoughts on this?"

"That's what Qian Ning deserves." Shen Qiang smiled.

The host laughed upon hearing this and said, "Mr. Shen is truly humble, but in today's pop arena, many professional musicians say that the song you wrote would top the charts no matter who sings it. What do you think about this?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang burst out laughing: "Qian Ning is unique; her voice has magic power."

"Are you saying other singers aren't as good as her?"

Instantly, the host's words took a sharp turn, and Shen Qiang already felt a chill all over.

Because this guy was clearly setting a trap for Shen Qiang.

Admitting to what he said would not only invite backlash but also invite criticism for Qian Ning.

Not admitting that Qian Ning is better than others would mean slapping himself in the face.

After all, Shen Qiang just said Qian Ning's singing is unique.

"I don't want to answer the same question twice, thank you." Shen Qiang continued smiling, but was on guard inside.

Clearly, as a host, one should have enough emotional quotient and shouldn't easily embarrass others.

But this host seems to have a grudge against Shen Qiang and Qian Ning.

Furthermore, looking at Gong Ziyi, who was sitting in the audience smirking proudly.

Shen Qiang suddenly realized that Gong Ziyi's tricks might not be limited to just giving laxatives to the pianist; this host might also be involved in some way.

And just as Shen Qiang realized, the host suddenly gave a smile and said, "After the song 'Live Beautifully and Show You' exploded, you and Qian Ning received an immense amount of admiration and attention from viewers, and our program received countless messages from netizens. We randomly selected a few to read to you; is that okay?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled and replied, "No problem."

"Shen Qiang, do you think the song we wrote for Ai Ruoling is cool?" the host asked with a grin.

Instantly, the audience inside and outside were astonished.

Shen Qiang's expression also instantly cooled.

Because those clearly provocative and coarse words were evidently Gong Ziyi's, and usually in these scenarios, as a famous program host, he could easily replace "cool" with "great" or "amazing," but he didn't.

This was provocation.

Gong Ziyi was blatantly showing off his influence to Shen Qiang.

"No, I pass out at needles."

Shen Qiang smiled while looking at Gong Ziyi by the side of the stage.

Instantly, everyone was taken aback.

But soon after, the audience inside and outside the venue burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter."

"Is this implying that people who write songs for Ai Ruoling have small ding-a-lings?"

"My king is mighty."

The host saw Shen Qiang calmly brushing off his inquiry and, while laughing, proceeded with more questions: "Previously, Ai Ruoling's team already declared a war of words against you, saying that you're trying to swat with eggs against rocks; what do you think of this opinion?"

Shen Qiang laughed and glanced sideways at the host.

At the same time, he knew this host clearly wouldn't stop without stirring things up.

Humility would only invite ridicule from someone like this.

So Shen Qiang faintly smiled and said, "War declaration? Was it directed at me? Sorry, I'm lonely as snow, eagerly anticipating opponents with strength, but clearly, in this show, my opponents don't exist."

Instantly, everyone was stunned.

"Indeed bold, you said you are lonely as snow in this show; does this mean you're dismissing Ai Ruoling's creative team and other contestants?" The host's eyes brightened, continuing to dig a hole.

Shen Qiang smiled, disdainfully glanced at him, and said, "You're the host, so you can say whatever you like."

Instantly, the atmosphere on stage turned awkward.

The audience inside and outside noticed something amiss.

"This host is purposely stirring things up."

Not only that, discussions arose among the audience.

Seeing that matters were getting tense, the host quickly shifted gears, smiling, "We just received backstage information saying your pianist, due to severe diarrhea, is unable to perform, so Miss Qian Ning and the beautiful actress Song Weiyin might not be able to perform your new song here. Is this because you're not confident in your new song and afraid of embarrassment, prompting this arrangement?"
