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

Chapter 128 How Could You Like Someone Else?

As soon as she spoke, eight pairs of eyes turned to Scarlett.

Each pair of eyes was exceptionally beautiful, each a different color, shimmering with a glass-like luster.

Scarlett's heart skipped a beat.

To prevent a Zerg attack, everyone sat very close together, surrounding Scarlett with their shoulders touching.

At such close range, Scarlett couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Her tongue trembled, and she stammered, "I... I think we've all been thinking in the wrong direction. The snow beetle led me under the ice both times, and the ore appeared under the ice both times. Is it possible that the ore was originally under the ice? It has nothing to do with the insectoids; this was just an accident."

Riley's eyes flashed. "That's possible."

Holst then chimed in, "We can try this direction."

Chi Ye was already unhappy that Mo Ting and his group were using Scarlett as bait, and now that Scarlett had proposed another idea, he couldn't wait to agree: "Yes, Scarlett is right."

Ashley has not experienced this incident and has not commented yet.

Sylvia trusts Scarlett unconditionally, saying, "Anyway, with so many of us, it won't be difficult to dig down and take a look."

Brian glanced at Sevilla, frowned, and said in an unfriendly tone, "Whatever."

Zheko stood up. "Let's try it now."

Everyone believed Scarlett, except for Mo Ting, who remained silent.

Mo Ting sneered, his contemptuous tone echoing around everyone. Just when everyone thought he was going to refuse, he took out a shovel from his spatial storage and said arrogantly, "Let's try it."

Everyone: "..."

Not buddy.

You're so proactive.

There are eight people, but it's impossible for them all to shovel snow here. One person also needs to stay behind to protect Scarlett.

Scarlett had already taken out her shovel, but when she heard that someone had to protect her, she hesitated for a moment, "Can't I dig together?"

Mo Ting glanced at her. "I don't need you."

Scarlett paused for a moment.

Who do you think you are!

The snow beetle crawled up from the ground, so Scarlett was safest in the air.

So everyone's attention turned to Brian.

Brian's lips twitched, and he put on a displeased expression, but inside he was overjoyed.

No need to work, can be lazy, hehe.

He dropped the shovel and walked toward Scarlett, just as he was about to pick her up, a voice came from behind him: "Remember to use your powers."

Brian's brow twitched, and he turned to look at Zheko.

Zheko calmly said, "The Zerg are numerous, and the Snow Beetle is just one type. Using superpowers is the safest option."

Scarlett tilted her head and asked, "What is your special ability?"

"Gathering of birds."

After Brian finished speaking, he picked up Scarlett and flew her into the air.

It was incredibly fast, like an arrow piercing the clouds, reaching the clouds in the blink of an eye.

He flipped his hand to gather clouds, making the wispy clouds feel real, as soft and fluffy as cotton candy, soft and fluffy to step on, yet they wouldn't sink.

"R-really? I won't fall?"

Brian wanted to put Scarlett on a cloud, but Scarlett was a little scared and clung to his neck, refusing to let go.

Brian gazed at her nervous little face, his dark brown eyes shimmering with a soft light, as gentle as clouds, and said in a low voice, "Trust me."

"Okay, okay."

Scarlett stepped out and pressed her foot firmly against the cloud to make sure it was solid and she wouldn't slip, before slowly letting go.

Stepping into the clouds, Scarlett's courage grew immediately. She lay on the edge of the clouds, looking down at the snow-capped mountains below.

Those majestic snow-capped mountains appeared much smaller, with only a tiny triangular tip peeking out from the vast expanse of white snow.

Sevier and the others were like ants; if it weren't for their shadows reflected in the snow, she would have almost never found them.

The Zerg not only have burrowing insects, but also flying insects.

The moment Brian put Scarlett down, he looked up at the sky that seemed within reach and let out a loud bird call.

As soon as the sound was made, flocks of birds responded. The calls rose and fell, growing louder and louder.

Not long after.

Flocks of snow petrels flew over.

Pure white, petite and adorable.

They surrounded the clouds, obscuring Scarlett's figure and presence.

As soon as Scarlett moved, they moved too, changing their formation according to her movements.

With the snow petrels providing cover, Scarlett was quite comfortable in the clouds, sometimes sitting, sometimes lying down, and occasionally whistling and humming.

The space enclosed by the snow petrels was rather dim, which was somewhat attractive to Scarlett, who had been in a brightly lit environment all along. Before she knew it, her eyelids were drooping and kept closing, and her consciousness was invaded by exhaustion, making her feel drowsy.

The clouds around me shifted slightly.

A figure lay down beside her.

She turned her head and saw Brian's face so close to hers. She paused, about to back away.

Brian suddenly asked her, "Scarlett, why do you like Holster?"

Ok?
Scarlett was probably too sleepy, and answered a beat late, "He's amazing."

SSS-level, you can't find more than ten in the entire empire.

"Then why do you like Chi Ye?"

"He's also very capable; he can protect me."

"What about Sevier? He's an A-level, the worst among the eight of us. Why did you choose him first?"

Scarlett thought for a moment, "He likes me and treats me well."

"So, you don't like them, right? Just because they're capable, can protect you, and are good to you. In other words, as long as they're good to you and can protect you, you'd choose them, right?"

Brian's words hit the nail on the head, more precise than a scalpel.

Scarlett was startled, her scattered consciousness suddenly returning, her light golden pupils flashing as she stared intently at Brian.

Brian smiled, his eyes gleaming with shrewdness. "Scarlett, I knew it. How could you like someone else? You only value their abilities; you don't actually like them."

Brian rolled forward, bracing himself on his hands beside Scarlett, his gaze fixed on her face. "Scarlett, if I treat you well too, will you choose me next?"

Scarlett opened her eyes and asked in confusion, "Hmm?"

Brian's second half of his sentence didn't match the first half at all. She thought she would be criticized, but instead she was asked to make peace.

It's a bit strange.

Brian, seeing that Scarlett remained silent for a long time, was about to run out of patience. His gaze followed Scarlett's stunned expression, and he suddenly felt that his behavior just now was somewhat ridiculous.

That was too impulsive. How could you expose your weaknesses to others?
Especially since the other party is Scarlett O'Hara.

She's so volatile, how could we easily make up?

Brian lay back down, opened his eyes and looked at the snow petrel's pure white feathers, and said, "Don't misunderstand, I don't like you. It's just that when we returned to our home planet, the Queen said that our marriage was an alliance and we couldn't easily get a divorce. Since we can't get a divorce, I don't want to make my life miserable by constantly talking about fighting and killing. I will be careful with my words and actions in the future and won't scold you or provoke you."

"Don't you dare lay a hand on me. You're heavy-handed, and it hurts when you hit someone."

Hearing this, Scarlett finally understood.

Brian is appealing because he feels he went too far.

She turned to Brian and said earnestly, "Don't worry, I won't hit you anymore."

Before Brian could even feel happy, the snow petrel's pure white feathers suddenly trembled, as if it had been startled by something. It cried out in alarm, flapped its wings, and flew away in all directions.

Above the clouds, bright light reappeared all around, dazzling and blinding.

Under the clouds.

A powerful force shattered the clouds, which then dispersed completely before Brian's eyes.

As the clouds dispersed, Scarlett found herself lying on the ground, plummeting rapidly.

"Scarlett!"

Brian tried to grab Scarlett, but it was too late; she was falling too fast!

His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly flipped over, falling down with Scarlett without even unfolding his wings.
