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

What happened in Chapter 148? Where did Brian and Riley go?

Backstage at the bonfire party.

Public relations manager Lucas was furious when he saw the two people who refused to go on stage. He raised his hand and slapped them both across the face.

Brian covered his face, glared, and said angrily, "Go ahead and hit me! Keep hitting me! I'm telling you, even if you beat me to death, I won't go! I have a mistress, I'm not going to fawn over those females outside! You'd better kill me! When my mistress comes, she'll make sure you regret it!"

"You still dare to be so stubborn!"

Lucas clutched his chest in anger, his cheeks flushed red, and raised his hand to slap him again.

Riley stopped him.

His dark green eyes gleamed with a faint light, but quickly returned to calm when Lucas looked at him. He lowered his head and said, "Manager, I'm sorry, Brian is young and doesn't know any better. I apologize on his behalf."

Lucas said coldly, "He's ignorant, but you're sensible? Aren't you also backstage? Let me tell you, I don't keep idle people here! If it weren't for your thick skin, I would have thrown you into the river to fend for yourselves long ago, you worthless trash!"

Lucas picked up a snuff bottle, dipped some tobacco in it, rubbed it against his nose, took a deep drag, and said, "I'll give you one more hour. If you don't get on stage by then, I'll chop off your hands and feet and throw you into Lake Nega."

He said fiercely, "You'd better think this through!"

Several pots of pure white rock roses were placed at the backstage entrance, and Lucas kicked them over, perhaps to vent his anger.

As soon as Lucas left, Brian's tense nerves instantly relaxed, and he collapsed to the ground, looking helpless. "Riley, what do we do? Why did we end up in this godforsaken place? We can't leave, and we can't find Scarlett. What do we do?"

Riley helped him up and comforted him, "Don't worry, things will work themselves out. There will definitely be a way."

"What method?" Brian looked at him expectantly.

Riley stared in the direction Lucas had left. "The light screen only said not to reveal your identity, not that you can't hurt people."

"Hurt someone?"

Brian's lips trembled slightly. "You mean..."

Riley helped him up. "We'll both be safe if we disrupt the bonfire party. We can't leave on our own, this is the only way."

Although Brian was scared, he nodded understandingly.

He paused for a moment, then frowned and asked worriedly, "Riley, we've been here for a month and haven't heard from Scarlett. Could she...?"

"will not."

Riley said confidently, "Your Highness is blessed by the heavens and nothing will happen to you."

"What if she sees us here and thinks we've fallen from grace and doesn't want us anymore?"

Brian said pessimistically, "Scarlett is so petty, she won't let us have any contact with the females. She knows we'll get jealous in a place like this, think we're dirty, and throw us away..."

A flicker of disbelief crossed Riley's eyes.

Brian was about to continue speaking when he caught a glimpse of something unusual in Riley's eyes. Startled, he realized he'd said the wrong thing and quickly stopped. After a moment, he apologized to Riley, "I'm sorry, Riley, I... I didn't mean that. I was just worried about Scarlett..."

Riley smiled kindly and said, "It's alright."

He picked up a few miscellaneous items that had fallen to the side, placed them on the cabinet, and said, "It might be a bit chaotic backstage later, so I'll tell you how to hide first."

……

……

Ya'an Theatre.

The underground hall.

Ashley, holding the sign, sat obediently in the chair, waiting for Scarlett to come and take him away.

He wasn't the only male here.

The hall was full, and everyone had a name tag around their neck. What was different was that they all looked rather grim, staring at the door with worried expressions. At the slightest sound, they all sat up straight.

Seeing that it was another male, his gaze immediately fell, and he kept sighing.

"Hey, new guy."

A good-looking male was sitting next to Ashley. Bored, he struck up a conversation with Ashley.

Ashley paused, turned around, and pointed at himself. "Are you calling me?"

"Correct."

The male laughed and asked, "What's your name?"

Ashley looked at him warily. "I don't know you."

The male said casually, "It's okay, it's not too late to get to know each other now. My name is Kresh, what's yours?"

Ashley hesitated for a moment, then said, "Ashley."

“You look quite young. You probably don’t know where this is, do you?” Kresh asked.

Ashley nodded hesitantly. Craig laughed, "To put it bluntly, this place is where females seek pleasure. They can have tons of males to choose from, and they won't repeat a single one all night."

The theater has twelve floors.

The bonfire party only occupies one floor.

Anyone with even a little knowledge of relationships between men and women knows what the other floors are.

"so……"

Ashley pointed at the group of people in front of him, "Who are you all?"

Kresh waved his hand. "Don't misunderstand, we're not like that. We're just like you, abandoned by the female master."

“Abandon?” Ashley was taken aback.

"correct."

Cress pointed to a male further away, "He's been here for two months."

Then, pointing to another disheveled male, she said, "He stayed for a month."

She pointed to the male with unfocused eyes at the door, "This one is even worse off, he's been here for almost four months."

"And I……"

Cress pointed to himself, "Six months."

Ashley's eyes widened, a hint of tension and pity in them.

He roughly understood what Kresh meant. He glanced at everyone present, his brows furrowing slightly, but he didn't know what to say.

He remained silent for a long time without saying a word.

Kresh patted him on the shoulder and said, "So, you need to be prepared to be abandoned and think about how to survive here."

Ashley frowned even more, but his tone was firm: "Scarlett won't abandon me!"

Kresh laughed even louder. "When I came here, I was just like you, convinced that the female master would not abandon me. But look what happened, I've been here for half a year."

His smile contained obvious bitterness. "Females are fickle; if they come here, they naturally won't remember us."

Just as Ashley was about to retort, the door to the underground hall opened again.

A male walked in.

Unlike other males who lower their eyes and heads, this male is very arrogant, with his head held high and chest out, looking down on everyone.

and……

He has two long, upright ears on his head and a fluffy tail behind him.

Ashley replied without hesitation, "A rabbit-orc?"

Kresh chuckled. "He's not a beastman at all. He's obviously just pretending to be one to please the female master."

"Disguised as an orc?"

"correct."

Why pretend to be an orc?

Kresh thought Ashley was a naive fool who didn't understand such a simple truth, but judging from his appearance, he didn't seem very shrewd. He patiently explained, "Because orcs are powerful! We are not orcs, but we yearn to be as powerful as them. Since we can't change our genes, we can only work on our appearance."

At this point, Kresh chuckled again, "If we encounter danger, we might even be able to scare the other party."

Ashley nodded, seemingly understanding.

really.

A few seconds later, the male removed his rabbit tail and sat proudly under the light in the center.

……

……

Scarlett looked at all the males on stage and was surprised to find that Brian and Riley were not there.

She flipped through the brochure in her hand again.

The photo and the name match.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problems.

The light spots also show that she overlaps with three of them.

What happened? Where did Brian and Riley go?
