Switched Life:I Went Viral on a Family Variety Show-Chapter 177: Embarrassing to Death Without Compensation

Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Embarrassing to Death Without Compensation

Sang Ning’s gaze swept past Chu Xi and continued assigning roles:

"Sang Chuan, you’re quite lively, like a monkey. You’re the Monkey Demon.

Xiao Ye, you’ve been nicknamed ’Sunny Pup,’ so you’re the Dog Demon.

Shen Yi, your nickname in fan circles is ’Cool Cat,’ making you the perfect Cat Demon.

Brother Kai, you’re honest and reliable, exuding boyfriend charm to the max, which resembles a bear. The Bear Demon suits you well.

Chu Wei, you’re known as the ’Nightingale’ of the singing world, so you’ll be the Bird Demon."

[Is Sang Ning surfing the internet with an 80G-speed connection or something? She nailed the traits of each guest perfectly.]

[But what about Sang Ning? She seems to have left herself out.]

[If you ask me, Sang Ning has a face that could bring down nations. The most fitting demon for her would be a fox spirit.]

Everyone was assigned a role except for Sang Ning.

All eyes simultaneously turned to her, asking, "So what demon are you playing?"

"Me?" Sang Ning pointed to herself with one finger, her lips curling up slightly as she said, "Obviously, I’m the one capturing the demons."

The crowd: "..."

[What kind of cheekiness is this? She left herself for last—I thought she was going to assign herself some awesome demon role.]

[This is hilarious! So the entire cast gets to play demons, but she’s the only one playing a human?]

With such unfair role assignments, everyone thought the guests would surely protest.

Yet, when the festival day arrived and the guests were seen in their colorful, bizarre costumes performing on stage, the crowd was collectively stunned into silence.

Sang Youming didn’t disappoint and, under Grandpa Chen’s guidance, carved the Dragon Pillar needed for the sacrificial altar with great skill.

The villagers were deeply grateful to Sang Youming. Thinking back to their earlier disputes with the guests, they felt utterly ashamed.

Thus, when the guests appeared on stage, the villagers transformed their guilt into cheers, with applause and loud acclamations cascading over one another.

But when a shaggy monkey—a towering 1.8 meters tall—scratched its ears and hopped onto the stage, the applause abruptly paused for several seconds.

The monkey’s shock factor was just the beginning. Following it, a parade of other non-human entities ascended the stage.

Rabbit-men, Dog-men, Cat-men, Bear-men, and even... Bird-men...

The villagers’ mouths hung slightly open, their eyes frozen, expressions distinctly awkward.

Next, the guests’ performances were even more soul-shaking.

The shaggy monkey attacked by tossing fuzzy peaches.

The Rabbit-man’s attack was throwing snowballs.

The Dog-man spat ivory from its dog’s mouth as an attack.

The Cat-man struck with a "Return My Beauty Punch."

The Bear-man attacked by chopping down trees.

The Bird-man showcased its high-pitched singing as an offensive move.

To sum up, every demon’s skill was utterly jaw-dropping, leaving the villagers in the audience wondering where on earth the guests had acquired their props.

The parents below the stage initially hoped their kids would deliver some highbrow artistic performance.

Instead, upon witnessing the chaotic demon parade above, they quickly covered their foreheads, bowed their heads low, and wished they could bury themselves deep in the ground.

"Chuyun, the Bird-man singing on stage—she’s your daughter, right?"

"Huh? What are you talking about? Is that tree-chopping Bear Qin Kai?"

"Grandma Song, how did Song Shiye’s tiny mouth manage to spit out such huge ivory?"

"No, no, no, that Dog Demon on stage has nothing to do with me. I don’t know any Dog-man named Song Shiye."

The elders frantically distanced themselves from the performers on stage, their old faces nearly nowhere to hide.

[Are you serious? You lunatics just love awkward humor, huh?]

[If the audience dies of awkwardness, who takes responsibility? Who’s dealing with our corpses?]

[I’m curious—exactly what kind of violent methods did Sang Ning use to make the guests agree to this painfully awkward act?]

[The demons are already battling it out on stage. Where’s Sang Ning, the demon catcher? She must be brewing something even more cringeworthy, isn’t she?]

The performance time happened to be at night.

As if on cue, just when the online viewers were calling out for Sang Ning. ƒreewebɳovel.com

A gust of chilling wind swept through, and with the cooperation of the props team, the stage lights flickered unpredictably.

The "demons" tore off their masks, revealing their true forms beneath their human skins.

Monkey heads, rabbit heads, dog heads, cat heads, bear heads, bird heads—all lined up neatly.

Dressed in a yellow Daoist robe, Sang Ning descended gracefully on her sword and engaged in a breathtaking showdown with the "demons."

[I’m speechless—does this show operate on the principle of ’there’s no most awkward, only more awkward’?]

[Someone please rescue Sang Ning and pick up the shattered pieces of her celebrity image. What kind of star willingly plays a Taoist, for heaven’s sake?]

[The audience’s lives matter too! Are you trying to cringeworthy us to death without facing consequences?]

Just as everyone thought this performance would be cringeworthy to the end, the stage erupted with a surprising twist.

Sang Ning maneuvered her sword while battling six "demons" simultaneously, who immediately arranged themselves according to an array formation.

Every move of the "demons" appeared meticulously choreographed, not only visually stunning but also full of raw power.

The "Taoist’s" sword clashed with the "demons’" magical attacks in a continuous push-pull of energy, their movements flowing like water.

It gave the audience a sense of witnessing a pinnacle martial arts showdown in person.

The online viewers, who had initially found the guests’ performance painfully awkward, were now fully captivated. For a few seconds, the barrage of comments even froze.

The villagers below the stage were similarly enthralled, watching with bated breath. It was the first time they’d seen such a spectacular fight scene live.

Perhaps the most stunned of all was Qin Jiaxiang. He had heard from Qin Kai that they were rehearsing for a demon-catching showcase under Sang Ning’s direction.

But he hadn’t taken it seriously, dismissing it as minor entertainment from the younger generation.

Yet, witnessing it firsthand tonight left him speechless and utterly awestruck.

Sang Ning was inherently skilled, so her fighting scenes were naturally impressive.

But what shocked him the most was her ability to train six guests with zero martial arts background into executing each move with precision within just a few days!

Having directed several martial arts films himself, Qin Jiaxiang could tell that the moves Sang Ning designed for the others were exceedingly simple.

Simple enough that even an ordinary person could pick them up with a few days of practice.

But the challenge lay in conceiving these simple yet impactful moves.

No exaggeration—Qin Jiaxiang could confidently say that Sang Ning’s martial arts choreography was the most fluid, powerful, and visually stunning he’d ever seen!

Overcome with excitement, Qin Jiaxiang jumped to his feet, gazing at the stage with sparkling eyes.

If they could recruit Sang Ning to join his production crew, he’d essentially gain a free martial arts director!

Buying one skillset, getting another for free—what a win-win situation!

The music accompanist did a terrific job incorporating the background score, with the BGM fluctuating between grand crescendos, serene pauses, and urgent rhythms throughout the fight scene.

Ultimately, as the drumbeats in the background slowly faded to silence, the demon-catching spectacle concluded with all the demons subdued.

When the guests stepped forward to bow and express their gratitude, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

Even after all the guests had exited the stage, the applause showed no sign of stopping.
