Stunningly beautiful yet wicked, she begins by conquering eight beast husbands.

Chapter 127 A Family Should Be Together
Chi Ye brushed the snow off his clothes, stood up, glared at Mo Ting, and snapped, "What are you doing holding Scarlett's hand! Let go of her right now!"

He hadn't forgotten how Mo Ting had berated Scarlett when they were outside.

He has a fierce look on his face; he's annoying to look at.

Scarlett cannot be with him.

She must protect herself.

Chi Ye reached out to Rascal.

Mo Ting didn't let go, looking at him coldly, "What, Scarlett is yours alone? I can't touch her?"

Chi Ye sneered, "Of course she doesn't belong to me alone. She is the female master. The female master can be with whomever she likes, not let you, a beast husband, make decisions for her."

Chi Ye looked at Scarlett, "Right, Scarlett?"

You are absolutely right!
Scarlett nodded vigorously!
Tears of emotion welled up in her eyes.

Her nine-tailed fox is really clever when it matters.

She cleared her throat and, following Chi Ye's lead, adopted the demeanor of a female master, saying, "Alright, Mo Ting, Chi Ye is here. He can protect me. Go and bring Zhe Ke and the others out."

Scarlett held her head high and puffed out her chest, as if she was about to walk towards Chiye.

To her surprise, Mo Ting did not let go, but still held her, and said indifferently, "I'm not comfortable with him alone. Let's wait for the others to arrive."

"What do you mean?" Chi Ye narrowed his eyes.

Mo Ting's words clearly showed that he looked down on him.

Both of them are SS-rank; he can protect Scarlett alone, and so can he.

What right does he have to look down on himself!

Mo Ting chuckled, "You don't understand the literal meaning? Then let me put it more clearly. You're just a reckless fool with no brains. Scarlett isn't safe with you; I don't trust her."

"Who are you calling brainless!"

"saying you."

"Do you want to give it a try?"

"Try what? Your brain? Sorry, I'm not interested in fox brains. I'm afraid eating them would affect my intelligence. You can enjoy it yourself."

"you!"

Chi Ye was furious, his dark eyes bloodshot, as if he were about to spit fire.

He clenched his teeth, his fists were tightly clenched, and several veins bulged on the back of his hands. He raised his fist to smash it at Mo Ting.

"Look, what is that?"

Mo Ting suddenly pointed to a spot, his eyes filled with horror.

Chi Ye was startled and subconsciously followed Mo Ting's hand to look, thinking that some danger was approaching, which made Mo Ting afraid.

The moment he turned his head.

Mo Ting suddenly clenched his fingers into a fist and slammed it at him first.

Chi Ye couldn't dodge in time and was hit so hard that he felt dizzy, saw stars, and his brain was about to be smashed apart.

Mo Ting chuckled twice and said sarcastically, "See? I told you you're brainless."

"you!"

Now, Chi Ye was truly angry. He recklessly unleashed his nine tails, surrounding Mo Ting.

He gathered a ball of fire in his hand and said through gritted teeth, "You asked for this!"

Scarlett trembled at the sight.

No, Chi Ye, he's still holding me hostage!
You mustn't act impulsively!!!

Scarlett looked left and right, caught between the two men, in a dilemma.

Feeling weak and helpless, she thought for a moment, then silently stretched out one hand, holding a stun gun, and said, "Whoever moves, I'll electrocute them."

To amplify the impact of her words, she turned the power up to maximum, the buzzing of the electricity creating a flash of light that reflected on their faces.

Mo Ting raised an eyebrow indifferently.

Anyway, he's already made a move, so he won't suffer any losses.

Chi Ye pointed angrily at Mo Ting, "Scarlett, you're helping him?!"

Scarlett wanted to cry but had no tears.

She wasn't helping him at all; she was clearly helping herself.

She is the "middleman," and no matter who makes the move, she will inevitably be affected.

As Scarlett was trying to figure out how to explain, a pair of antlers appeared on a small snowdrift a hundred meters away.

Scarlett's eyes lit up. "Ah, ah, Ashley."

A new person has arrived, and she needs to distract herself!

Ashley's brow twitched when he heard Scarlett's voice, and he quickly ran over.

Before he could get close, Scarlett rushed over, wrapped her arms around his neck, and touched the artistic antlers on his head. "Ashley, are you alright? You didn't get hurt on the way here, did you?"

Ashley was puzzled and somewhat stunned.

My cheeks were burning, and I didn't know how to respond.

Fortunately, he didn't turn into human form, otherwise others would have noticed that his complexion was off.

He nodded, about to speak.

Then Scarlett spoke again: "Holster."

He lifted his eyelids.

In his slightly rounded pupils, he saw Scarlett throw herself into Holst's arms, leaving him with only her back view.

Was it just his imagination?
Ashley thought blankly.

Holst looked at Scarlett in his arms, somewhat surprised.

She seemed particularly enthusiastic today.

When he saw her bright, sparkling eyes, and she gave him a meaningful look, he realized that her enthusiasm had another reason.

But that didn't stop him from hugging Scarlett and asking in a low voice, "What's wrong?" Scarlett said, "Chi Ye is about to fight with Mo Ting. You should try to stop them."

Holst smiled; he knew it.

"Okay, I'll go and try to persuade them."

He walked toward Chi Ye and Mo Ting.

Holst's "persuasion" was quite hardcore; he walked up to them and released his mental energy without saying a word.

The pale purple spiritual energy surged straight into their bodies, disturbing their internal organs and causing them great unease.

The two men, who had been at loggerheads just moments before, were now kneeling on the ground, clutching their heads, their faces contorted in pain.

"Ho, Holst, you, you..."

Mo Ting's eyes reddened as he glared at Holst.

Chi Ye originally wanted to curse, but seeing that Mo Ting was in the same pain as him, his competitive spirit surged, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Is that all you've got? If you put in a little more force, today whoever calls the other a grandson will be the grandson."

The last sentence was clearly meant for Mo Ting's ears.

Holster understood, but made no decision. He turned to Scarlett and asked, "Want to increase your strength?"

Scarlett waved her hand: "No need, no need, just teach them a lesson."

Injury affects the game.

Scarlett walked up to them, hands behind her back, exuding the authority of a matriarch, and said, "We are family, we should be united and loving, and stand together against outsiders. You're all using your strength against your own people, what if danger comes? If I see you fighting again, the punishment won't be as simple as it was today, understand?"

After saying that, Scarlett felt she had been a bit too arrogant.

But no matter what, it felt pretty good, especially seeing Mo Ting get his comeuppance.

Chi Ye snorted, his face full of dissatisfaction, and was about to say something in his defense, but he saw Scarlett staring at him intently, her eyes filled with obvious displeasure.

He frowned, suppressed his resentment, and compromised, saying, "I understand, I won't do it again next time."

Mo Ting had no intention of arguing, and seeing that Chi Ye had given in, he casually said, "I understand."

Holst withdrew his mental energy.

With Holster there, Scarlett hurriedly directed Mo Ting, "Alright, go and bring Zheke and the others out quickly. The whole family needs to be together."

Mo Ting glanced at her twice, thinking: Does she care about Zhe Ke that much? Can't she be separated from him for even a moment?
But he didn't ask the question aloud; he just tugged at the corner of his mouth, turned around, and left.

As soon as he left, Sevia appeared.

He was a mermaid, so he couldn't transform into a beast like the others and run over. He had to run on his own two legs the whole way, which was much more tiring than for the others.

But the moment he saw Scarlett, all his fatigue vanished, and he was filled with energy again, running even faster.

"Scarlett!"

Her silver hair danced in the snow, and her icy blue eyes shone brightly.

The joy in my heart was palpable, and even the surrounding temperature seemed to be affected, causing large snowflakes to fall.

A reunion as beautiful as a Korean drama.

Scarlett liked the scene and was about to run towards Sevier.

Chi Ye's eyes darted around, and he did the same thing, grabbing her arm and pulling her into his arms.

The beautiful little mermaid flew into the snowdrift.

Scarlett: “…”

Sevier: "..."

Ashley: "..."

Holst: "..."

This scene is actually quite comical.

Chi Ye chuckled, revealing a set of white teeth.

……

……

After several twists and turns, the nine people finally got together.

After a short rest.

The next step is to continue searching for ore.

Riley explained how to find the ore and was about to make arrangements when Chi Ye immediately stood up and angrily said, "You're using Scarlett as bait? Whose idea was it? Yours or his!"

The "he" that Chi Ye was referring to must be Mo Ting.

Mo Ting shrugged and said frankly, "It's me."

"you!"

Chi Ye gritted his teeth and glared at Mo Ting. He remembered Scarlett's words about not fighting, and suppressed his anger, saying, "No! Scarlett can't be used as bait! The Zerg are incredibly intelligent and will come up with new tricks every time. Scarlett was able to escape death the first two times, but that doesn't mean she will be able to next time. We need to think of another way."

"Then tell me, what's the plan?"

Mo Ting pressed on, "We've already been delayed by a day. There's no time display here, so we don't know how long we've been here. There's no guarantee that others have already collected all the gems and are currently verifying them. Every second we waste increases our risk of being eliminated."

"You want to be eliminated, but I don't."

This is the cruelty of the resource competition. It provides no information. By the time you've done your best to find the ore to pass the level and verify your success, you may have already been eliminated, and all your efforts will have been in vain.

Mo Ting was telling the truth, and Chi Ye couldn't refute it, but he didn't want Scarlett to take any risks!
After catching his breath, he said, "I'll be the bait."

"you?"

Mo Ting looked at Chi Ye in surprise and sneered, "I've never heard of the Zerg being interested in male Zerg."

"roll!"

Chi Ye shouted.

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Scarlett felt a headache coming on. She sighed helplessly and said, "Actually, we've misunderstood something."
