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

Chapter 145 We've All Become Ordinary People
Meni fell silent.

Looking at the three hundred-yuan bills, he swallowed greedily, raised an eyebrow, and laughed, "How can I do him a favor? He was specifically asked for by Miss."

Scarlett pulled out another hundred-dollar bill, rolled it up, and stuffed it into Mennie's hand, saying in a sickeningly sweet voice, "Mennie, you're a favorite of Miss's. If you could put in a good word for me, Miss would definitely make an exception. Besides..."

Scarlett leaned closer to Mennie and whispered, "Mennie, I'm eighteen this year, the age to get married. My family isn't well-off, and I'm afraid I won't be able to compete with others at tonight's bonfire party. Only he is someone I can afford, and he's also someone I like. Please have pity on your little sister and grant her a beastly husband."

As she spoke, Scarlett slipped another banknote into her hand.

With so much money, Mennie couldn't refuse even if she wanted to. She stuffed it all into her apron pocket, secretly patted Scarlett's arm, and said, "You've already called me 'sister,' how can an older sister not help her younger sister? Since that's the case, you should redeem this slave and take him away. I'll go talk to Miss for you. Remember to be quick, preferably now."

Scarlett smiled and said, "I knew Sister Meni was the best. Thank you for your trouble. I'll take him to get his freedom redeemed right now. We'll definitely arrange a head table for you when we have our wedding in a couple of days. You're our great matchmaker, after all."

Mennie was completely taken aback by Scarlett's flattery, grinning from ear to ear. She immediately and readily pulled out a banknote and handed it to Scarlett, saying, "Here, this is my red envelope. Congratulations on your marriage! I'll be sitting at the head table!"

Scarlett glanced at the number on the banknote.

1.

Regardless, it was a token of her appreciation, so she accepted it with a smile, thanked her several times, and then left with Ashley.

As soon as they leave.

Meni glanced at the other slaves, pointed at one at random, and said arrogantly, "You, come with me."

……

……

Scarlett pulled Ashley's hand and led him toward the accounting office. "Ashley, how much will it cost to ransom you? Did the light screen say so?"

Ashley glanced at the number on his wrist and replied, "100 Star Coins."

Scarlett was stunned: "So cheap?"

Ashley grunted in agreement and said helplessly, "I'm a slave, worthless."

Fortunately, he wasn't worth much, otherwise Scarlett wouldn't have been able to redeem him.

The redemption process was quick. After paying the money and getting his indenture back, Ashley was free in less than twenty minutes.

The light screen popped up.

[Task 3: Please take your beastman with you in a reasonable manner. (1/8)]
……

……

Scarlett returned to "her" home.

This is a simple little building, left to her by her deceased parents. It has two floors; the first floor has a living room and kitchen, and the second floor has living quarters.

The house has six rooms, which are decorated very warmly and have a homey feel.

Scarlett glanced around briefly and returned to the living room.

Ashley took off his straw hat, revealing sweat-drenched blond hair, looked at Scarlett, and hesitated before asking, "Scarlett, isn't anyone else here? Where are they?"

Scarlett poured him a glass of water. "No, you're the first one."

"The first one."

Ashley repeated it, a slight smile playing on his lips, his eyes suddenly sparkling.

He picked up his water glass, took two sips, and glanced at Scarlett furtively. "Aren't you going to find them?"

"Later, I know where they are."

Scarlett took out the money she had hidden under the stove.

This was left to her by her parents for taking a husband; it totaled 5000 star coins.

Scarlett took them all out and stuffed them into her pocket, preparing for tonight's bonfire party.

Hopefully, the others are just as worthless as Ashley.

Scarlett put the money away, looked up at Ashley, and asked, "Ashley, do you have a persona?"

"Character?"

Ashley paused for a moment, then nodded. "Yes. You can't be weak and helpless, you can't fight, you can't cause trouble, or you'll be warned."

No wonder Ashley hid behind him instead of standing in front of him.

He was completely different from his usual self.

“What will happen if I give a warning?” Scarlett asked.

"The light screen didn't say."

Ashley was unaware that he had been very careful for the past month and hadn't done anything wrong.

Seeing Scarlett deep in thought, he asked, "Scarlett, don't you have a persona?"

"I?"

Scarlett flipped through her character profile and said, "No. It only says I can't reveal my identity, but it doesn't say what I can't do."

“Perhaps you are the female ruler, and different from us,” Ashley said.

Scarlett agreed and nodded.

However, her focus remained on "not revealing her true identity," and she temporarily ignored the other points, deciding to consider them once everyone had arrived.

A few seconds later, a faint "gurgling" sound caught Scarlett's attention.

She hummed in response and looked at Ashley.

Ashley lowered his head in shame, his cheeks flushed. "Scarlett, I've been a slave for a month, only eating one meal a day. I'm... I'm a little hungry. Could you... could you give me something to eat?" Scarlett was taken aback. "Don't you have food in your storage space?"

Chi Ye provided everyone with nearly half a year's worth of food. Even though Ashley stayed here for a month, it was impossible for him to finish it all.

Ashley said, "The ring's storage space is full, so I can't get it out."

Hear the words.

Scarlett opened her ring space.

really.

Can't open.

However, the system space is usable.

The online store is inaccessible.

Scarlett looked at the things in the system space.

The space wasn't static, so she didn't put any food in it.

However, those glittering minerals did give her a lot of inspiration.

She shut down the spatial portal and asked Ashley without changing her expression, "You just said that you can't use mental power here?"

Ashley nodded.

Scarlett understood the purpose of the other mission.

Seeing that Ashley's face was pale with hunger and he was clutching his stomach while staring at her, she quickly got up and went to the kitchen to find some food.

She looked around the kitchen and found only a white radish. She held it up and asked Ashley, "Want some?"

Ashley's face turned even paler. "I don't like carrots."

He has been eating radishes for the past month.

carrot.

White radish.

Radish and pickled vegetable soup.

Radish stewed with radish.

He feels like vomiting whenever he sees a radish.

Ashley sniffed. "Scarlett, I'm hungry. I want to eat meat."

Scarlett retorted, "You're a deer, you eat grass, why would you eat meat?"

Ashley cried, "I'm not a deer anymore, I can't turn back into a beast, and I'm so hungry."

Scarlett was both amused and exasperated by his wailing voice.

She's over twenty years old, why is she still acting like a child, fussing and demanding food?

She sighed helplessly, "Let's go, I'll take you out to eat."

……

……

The two went to a nearby restaurant.

Scarlett was getting a little hungry from Ashley's noise.

Pick up the menu and glance at the prices.

The cheapest is 1 star coin, and the most expensive is 10 star coins; the prices are attractive.

She handed the menu to Ashley and said generously, "Order whatever you want."

Ashley was starving and ordered all meat without any hesitation, filling the entire table.

They devoured it in no time.

Scarlett was going to eat with him, but seeing Ashley looking like a starving man, she silently put down her chopsticks, deciding to wait until he was full before eating herself.

During the pause, she noticed the law enforcement bulletin board diagonally opposite the restaurant.

Several photos were pasted on it.

Her eyes flickered, and she walked over.

Bounty Notice.

Twelve notices covered the entire bulletin board.

Name, age, place of origin, crime, and reward amount are written on it in that order.

Seeing Scarlett's interest, the guard watching the bulletin board jokingly asked, "What? Want to earn a tip?"

Seeing Scarlett's pale and thin face, she shook her head and said, "Little female, I see you're not very old and your body isn't strong either, so just give up on this idea."

"These people are notorious thieves hunted across the entire galaxy. They are very powerful and can use mental energy. They are not people like us who can get close to them."

"Mental strength?"

Scarlett pointed to the notice board, "They can use mental power?"
