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

Chapter 18 The Confident Prince and the Humble Prince

"What? You laughed out loud because you found out you're going to participate in the competition?"

Scarlett asked Chi Ye with a smile, her tone neither warm nor cold.

Chi Ye raised his eyebrows, his handsome face instantly gaining a touch of unruliness. "Yeah, I'm so happy, I'm overjoyed."

He stared at Scarlett for a few seconds. "Next, Your Highness, shouldn't you say what you need us to do, such as serving you tonight? Or enhancing your mental strength?"

Upon hearing this, the already excessively calm atmosphere immediately fell into a deathly silence.

No one believed that Scarlett would get along with them peacefully, or even divorce them.

They remained on guard the whole time.

The level restrictions in resource competitions are well known.

Scarlett is an F-rank; to participate, she must improve her mental strength.

How could a pampered imperial princess like her go to the Lost Continent to suffer with them?

Then we can only ask them to contribute their spiritual power.

Anyway, it's not like she hasn't done it before.

Holst was really badly hurt by Scarlett back then, and it took him half a year to recover.

Scarlett listened patiently to Chi Ye's words, then burst out laughing, even louder than Chi Ye, her mocking tone sharper at the end, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in you. You're both getting divorced, so you'd better keep your virginity."

"After all, chastity is a man's best dowry. If he can't be the legal husband, being a mistress isn't bad either."

"you!"

Chi Ye slammed his fist on the table and stood up, his imposing manner and murderous intent flashing in his eyes, making Scarlett break out in a cold sweat.

She was terrified inside, but her words were defiant: "What? You want to kill me? Don't forget, you're still my beastly husband. If I die, you'll die too."

He glanced at the others, his eyes turning fierce, "And them, they'll all die together."

This statement served as a subtle reminder to everyone.

Although they hated Scarlett, they didn't hate her enough to want to be buried with her.

Besides, they have other ways to kill Scarlett, so there's no rush.

Riley pressed down on Chi Ye's hand, which was covered in bulging veins. "Chi Ye, you must not be rude to His Highness."

Saviya also said, "Chi, Chi Ye, you, you mustn't be impulsive."

Scarlett is better now.

Zheke didn't speak, but his gaze fell on Chiye, making it clear that he shouldn't act impulsively and disrupt their plans.

Scarlett breathed a sigh of relief as she saw everyone trying to smooth things over, and softened her tone: "As an imperial princess, my word is my bond. If I say I'll get a divorce, I will. I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do."

Amitabha Buddha, I am a man who likes to tell little lies, please forgive me.

The atmosphere gradually eased.

Scarlett continued the previous topic.

"I plan to go to the Lost Continent to level up. Don't worry, you don't need to come with me. I will hire other males to lead the team myself."

"I also hope you guys level up a lot during this time, so you don't hold me back."

Having said that, Scarlett didn't ask them for anything, lifted the silver food cover, and began to eat, ignoring them completely.

Riley, Chiye, and Zheke exchanged a glance.

They all want to participate in the competition for resources.

This is not only about themselves, but also about their families.

The top five families in the annual resource competition will receive His Majesty's favor.

Commoners could transcend social classes and enter the imperial city.

Nobles could be granted titles, which would benefit their descendants.

Last year, they didn't participate and were severely criticized by the family elders.

this year.

The opportunity is right in front of us; there's no reason to refuse it.

Sylvia's gaze kept wandering over Scarlett.

He also wanted to go to the Lost Continent.

pity.

The rules for Lost Continent are quite unique: males can only enter alone if they are not accompanied by females, and they need to pay money to do so.

He has no money.

So he didn't have a chance to go that year, which caused his superpower to remain at the first star level.

If only I could be with Scarlett...

Riley and his team thought about it more deeply.

He was more concerned about whether Scarlett would die in the Lost Lands.

Scarlett's rank is ridiculously low; she doesn't even have the ability to protect herself.

The Lost Continent is filled with unknown dangers and has never been fully explored. Some people are still buried there forever.

Males can easily lose themselves in it and suffer a mental breakdown. In the end, they won't even know how Scarlett died.

Again.

They didn't want to be buried with Scarlett.

After confirming each other's thoughts, Riley looked at Scarlett and said, "Your Highness, as your beastmen, we have a duty to protect your safety."

"So, you want to come with me?" Scarlett asked, taking the initiative. "Yes."

Riley nodded, lowering his eyes and becoming extremely gentle.

“Where are they?” Scarlett looked at the other three.

Chi Ye sneered.

Zheko scoffed.

The two turned their heads away, finding it annoying to even glance at Scarlett.

Only Sevia cheerfully replied, "I'm willing."

With her scheme succeeding, Scarlett subtly raised an eyebrow and generously said, "Alright. Since you insist on coming along, I have no reason to refuse. After all, we've been husband and wife for a year and know each other well."

Hear the words.

Chi Ye and Zhe Ke rolled their eyes inwardly, trying hard to suppress the urge to curse.

Husband and wife? What kind of husband and wife are they!
Sylvia gave Scarlett a strange look, her ears turning slightly red.

Riley picked up his chopsticks and, while picking up some food, asked casually, "Why did Your Highness suddenly decide to participate in the resource competition?"

Riley comes from a noble family and is very thoughtful.

Having witnessed Scarlett's recent changes, a seed of suspicion was planted in his heart.

They are very wary.

He won't easily let Scarlett lead him.

You must know the whole story.

Scarlett picked up a piece of beef, put it in her mouth and chewed it vigorously, a lie coming out of her mouth effortlessly: "Last year, Sophia came in first! She received the Queen's praise and beat me. This year, I'm going to come in first and beat her."

Because of this?

Riley twitched the corner of his mouth, but doubt still lingered in his eyes.

Zheko glanced at Scarlett with a half-smile. "Your Highness, you are too modest."

Whether Princess Sofia comes in first place or not, her status is higher than yours.

Chi Ye added, "He's too confident."

In the battle for resources, the key to victory lies with the females, and subsequent emotional support is essential.

They should be grateful if they can get into the top five.

Scarlett, of course, understood their veiled sarcasm. She glared at them and said coldly, "Talking back to the mistress and being sarcastic towards her, your allowance will be halved this month!"

Chi Ye chuckled indifferently twice and asked in return, "When will we get living expenses?"

If they hadn't used unconventional methods to earn extra money that year, they would have starved to death long ago.

Scarlett opened her personal terminal and saw that, lo and behold, they really hadn't given her any living expenses.

How did they survive that year? Did they just live on air?
Sin ah.

Some people are so weak they've become like telephone poles.

Some people live on air, yet they drink themselves into poverty.

It's true that the feng shui of a place shapes its people.

Scarlett wasn't stingy either. She put down her chopsticks and, in front of everyone, transferred money to each person, asking as she did so, "Now you have it, are you happy?"

Riley, 50,000.

Seville 50,000.

Zheke 25,000.

Two thousand troops were dispatched to the frontier.

Their wristbands began to beep with transfer notification sounds one after another.

Riley maintained his faint smile, but his gaze frequently lingered on Scarlett's eyes and brows.

Sevier was overjoyed. He turned on his personal terminal and checked it three times. He was so excited that he almost cried.

Zheko raised an eyebrow, surprised, but maintained his aloof demeanor.

Hearing the amount, Chi Ye chuckled sinisterly, "Happy, extremely happy!"

Scarlett looked at him, her petal-like lips blossoming into a smile. Her beautiful face instantly became like a summer rose, intense and dazzling. "As long as you're happy."

Chiye was startled.

His brows furrowed suddenly, his handsome face revealing a fierce expression, and he glared at Scarlett without saying a word.

He stood up, didn't eat, and went straight back to his room.

Scarlett found Chi Ye's behavior rather strange and didn't bother with him.

Right now, the most important thing for her is to level up.

She made a promise with everyone that they would go to the Lost Continent tomorrow.

Riley cleared his throat and reminded him, "Your Highness, once we enter the Lost Continent, we may have to stay for three to five days or more. Just in case, we need to prepare living supplies and medicines in advance."

Scarlett thought it made sense, so she set the date for two days later.

She can take this opportunity to learn some relevant knowledge.

Leveling up is important.

Life is more important!
