Cannon Fodder in an Era Drama — I Survive with Acting-Chapter 64: Nation-Toppling Beauty

Her once-flat stomach now had a slight pooch, soft and fleshy.

Song Qingya was a little worried.

Summer was the perfect time to show off a good figure.

She still had pretty dresses to wear!

’No, I have to start my diet tomorrow.’

To achieve this goal, she not only created a detailed diet for herself but also an exercise plan.

She also decided to have Fei Jin supervise her to make sure she stuck to these plans.

Although, deep down, Fei Jin didn’t really want to do it.

But faced with a determined Song Qingya, he ultimately chose to support her.

What he really wanted to say was...

’A little bit of flesh is actually nice. It feels good to the touch.’

But seeing Song Qingya’s angry expression, he decided against saying it.

He’d let her decide whatever she wanted.

...

The next day, just as the sky was beginning to brighten.

Song Qingya was awakened by the crowing of a rooster outside her window.

「At her dressing table.」

Song Qingya carefully drew her eyebrows and lightly applied a layer of foundation.

Her reflection in the mirror was even more captivating.

Over the past few days, Song Qingya had allocated all the points the system gave her to her beauty stat.

According to the system’s rating, her appearance had reached a level that could "topple a city with one glance and a nation with a second."

Although Song Qingya didn’t feel like much had changed as she looked at herself in the mirror.

She had no idea that her beautiful reputation had already spread throughout Liuchang Town.

Everyone was gossiping that a regiment commander’s wife in the compound was exceptionally beautiful.

However, opinions of her varied wildly.

Some rumored that she was so lazy, her husband even had to bring her meals to bed and feed her.

Others praised her superb cooking skills, saying she was an excellent chef.

Both sides stuck to their stories.

After washing up and tidying her appearance, Song Qingya put on her silver bracelet and went out.

As soon as she looked up, she saw two people neatly tied up in the yard.

She was immediately taken aback.

Fei Jin had woken up much earlier than her.

He had already moved the two from the filthy, foul-smelling pigsty to a more conspicuous spot.

This would make it more convenient for the police when they came to take them away.

Wen Wei and Sun Yaoguang had spent the entire night in the pigsty, and they reeked of a nauseating stench.

Swarms of mosquitoes were even buzzing around them.

Their faces were covered in welts, and their eyes were swollen shut from mosquito bites.

"How big must those mosquitoes be?"

Song Qingya couldn’t help but mutter to herself.

’Could her husband have beaten them?’

The thought had barely surfaced before she quickly suppressed it.

Just then, she saw Fei Jin slowly walking toward them.

The fear on Wen Wei’s face was extremely obvious, not at all an act.

Last night, she had discovered just how terrifying Brother Fei was behind the scenes.

At that time, Fei Jin had gently opened the gate to the pigsty.

Then, as if snapping a twig, he had effortlessly twisted apart the iron chains binding Sun Yaoguang with his bare hands.

After a few heavy kicks, Sun Yaoguang was brutally kicked out of the pigsty. Something seemed to have been stuffed in his mouth, as he didn’t make a single sound.

She still remembered what Fei Jin had said so coldly.

"Don’t be loud."

Those words sent a mix of complex emotions through Wen Wei.

Without a doubt, the "her" he was referring to was Song Qingya, who was fast asleep inside the house.

Wen Wei was so scared she broke out in goosebumps.

She hadn’t dared to close her eyes the entire night.

Her heart had been racing, almost unable to calm down.

Just before dawn, Sun Yaoguang was thrown back into the pigsty to make it look like he had been there all night.

By then, Sun Yaoguang was in terrible shape, practically on the verge of death.

Although Fei Jin hadn’t even glanced at Wen Wei during the entire process, she couldn’t stop trembling.

’This is too terrifying.’

’This couple is really two-faced.’

When Fei Jin saw Song Qingya come out of the house, he hurried back inside to get a light shawl for her.

"Qingya, you don’t need to be up so early. The police aren’t here yet,"

he said caringly.

"It’s fine. I just came out to have a look,"

Song Qingya replied softly.

Seeing Sun Yaoguang’s battered face, Song Qingya showed no sympathy. Deep down, she even felt a little smug.

’Her man had stood up for her in private.’

She was just a little curious about when Fei Jin had slipped out.

She had slept so soundly and sweetly last night that she hadn’t noticed Fei Jin leave in the middle of the night.

Suddenly, a series of urgent knocks came from the door.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

Then came Xiao Yang’s voice.

"Regiment Commander, Sister-in-law, is it a good time for visitors? The police are here and want to get an initial understanding of the situation."

"Yes, come in,"

Song Qingya replied immediately.

The incident had been very sudden, and this time, it involved a dispute.

Therefore, quite a few officers came to investigate, and the first step was to take a detailed statement.

The one taking the statement was a female officer with short hair.

But when she saw Sun Yaoguang, beaten to a pulp, the officer found it hard to believe that the very gentle-looking Song Qingya could have subdued this man.

Sun Yaoguang’s face was so swollen it was almost unrecognizable, his eyes were black and blue, and his nose was crooked.

"So, you’re saying he used your key to break into your house in the middle of the night, intending to harm you. But you discovered him, subdued him on the spot, and even broke his arm?"

"That’s right."

Song Qingya nodded.

She was telling the whole truth.

Sun Yaoguang also nodded frantically, quick to confess.

"Yes, what she said is absolutely right! Officer, please just take me away. I’m willing to be re-educated, I accept my punishment."

’Can’t they just hurry up and send me to the detention center?’

Sun Yaoguang prayed silently.

Only now did Sun Yaoguang understand that going to a detention center was a mercy.

If he stayed in their pigsty any longer, it was only a matter of time before he was beaten to death!

He’d only been there for a day and had already gotten a broken arm and leg.

It was absolutely brutal!

The female officer watched Sun Yaoguang, who was so agitated he was on the verge of tears, and wondered if the man had gone insane.

Sun Yaoguang was unusually agitated.

There was even fear in his eyes.

The female officer couldn’t help but question his mental state.

’Who would actively want to go to a detention center?’

"But, it’s not just the broken bone, is it? Did you cause the rest of these injuries too?"

Faced with this scene, the female officer posed her question.

Sun Yaoguang was covered in wounds.

She wanted to know where all these injuries came from.

"I did it all."

Song Qingya hadn’t even discussed it with Fei Jin; a single glance was all it took to know this was her husband’s handiwork.

She calmly admitted, "It’s understandable, really, Comrade. You should all know that he almost assaulted me, right? In that situation, I lost control of my emotions for a moment. I might have gone a little overboard."

The female officer and the other police had expressions of disbelief. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Even Xiao Yang found her story hard to believe.

She glanced at the timer for her character buff; there were a full eight hours left.

Song Qingya knew in her heart that this was more than enough time to handle the current situation.

Last night, she had spent points to specifically redeem a "Female General" buff.
