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

Chapter 28 How beautiful that big head that fell off is!

Scarlett, regaining her composure: "???"

There were unexpected bonuses?

She swore.

She currently has absolutely no interest in Chi Ye, who is handsome, has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and has eight-pack abs.

This was a completely unexpected surprise.

It must be that God felt sorry for her having nightmares and sent her this as a special blessing.

Scarlett raised an eyebrow, her expression returning to normal. She released her grip, her beautiful face calm and composed. "What are you doing in my tent?"

Her expression changed swiftly, completely devoid of the weak and helpless demeanor she had shown moments before.

Chi Ye, unfazed, calmed the tension in his eyes and said coldly, "It's the second day, time to set off."

Scarlett said "Oh" and started packing her things.

She took a special look at the small robot placed at the entrance of the tent.

Chi Ye brazenly entered her tent, but why didn't the robot react?
You bought it for 100,000, just for yesterday's incident?
After-sales service! She wants to apply for after-sales service!
Chi Ye glanced at her in the direction of her gaze, a smirk playing on his lips. "It's best not to let Riley know about this kind of thing."

Scarlett: "Why?"

Chi Ye raised his eyelids: "The things on the dark web are of unknown origin and dangerous, and have never been recognized by the Empire. Riley is a senator, and everything he does is for the benefit of the Empire, so he hates anything that harms the Empire."

Scarlett narrowed her eyes: "How do you know these things were bought from the dark web?"

"I knew that already."

Chi Ye said with a forced smile, "The gun you used to 'commit suicide' yesterday belonged to Brian, the machine gun that wounded me belonged to Ashley, and this thing..."

Chi Ye kicked the robot: "Mine."

Scarlett blinked, looking confused: "What do you mean?"

"It means that we sell these things on the dark web."

Chi Ye bent down, a hint of a smile flashing in his dark eyes. He flicked Scarlett's nose with his index finger. "You stingy little devil, you never give us any living expenses. If we didn't find a way to earn some extra money, we would have starved to death long ago."

Scarlett's lips twitched twice. "You have this kind of trickery? Then why didn't your money go into my account?"

"Find someone to sell it for you, then exchange the money for cash privately and give us a 90% cut."

Chi Ye chuckled, his eyes fixed on Scarlett. "Next time you need to buy any props, just come to me. I'll give you a 20% discount or even a 50% discount, we can discuss it."

Scarlett: “…”

No! Absolutely not! At least 20% off!
……

……

Scarlett glanced at the sky outside the tent.

Just like the scene in her dream, it was pitch black, almost like nighttime.

Scarlett was still shaken and dawdled repeatedly while packing her things.

Everyone could tell she was scared.

Dzeko remained completely unmoved.

Chi Ye frowned.

Sevier stood to the side, looked up, and stared blankly at the boundless night sky.

Only Riley walked to Scarlett's side, his eyes as gentle as ever, "Your Highness..."

"I know."

Scarlett understood what Riley was going to say, pursed her lips, and finished packing everything in one go.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

"Let's go."

……

……

Leaving the supply point, they followed the planned route and entered the lush, green jungle.

Scarlett walked in the center, like a quail, her neck hunched, observing everything around her.

Environment! Position! Sounds you hear!
Everything was just like the scene in her dream.

As the dense greenery kept coming towards her, Scarlett couldn't even tell whether she was dreaming or in reality.

She mustered her courage and looked up at the top of the tree.

really.

On those crooked and twisted trees hung a huge fruit the size of a honeycomb, its surface covered with countless tiny holes, but lacking the dark green tentacles that wriggled inside.

Even so.

The fear brought on by the nightmare still couldn't be quelled.

Scarlett wasn't very brave, and now she was even more so. Her palms were sweating, and her nails were almost digging into her flesh. A sharp pain crept up her, bringing her a brief moment of clarity.

No! I can't let nightmares control me!
Scarlett thought for a moment and stopped walking.

As soon as she stopped, the four beastmen also stopped.

"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Riley asked gently.

Scarlett said, "I want to change seats." "Seats?"

Chi Ye said impatiently, "Didn't you ask for this yourself? Walk in the middle, and we'll be your human shield."

Although he had just spoken with Scarlett and the atmosphere was quite good, that was only for a short time.

In his mind, Scarlett was still a vile woman, someone to be kept away from and never given a kind look.

Scarlett, desperate to survive, didn't bother arguing with Chi Ye and started giving orders: "Chi Ye, you're tall and strong, perfect for blocking the sun, stand to my left."

Chi Ye retorted, "Where is the sun now?"

Scarlett glared at him: "It'll be ready soon!"

Chi Ye had no idea what Scarlett was up to, rolled his eyes in exasperation, but still obediently stood to her left.

The monsters in the lower-level areas are too low-level and not challenging enough, so finish them off quickly and go back sooner.

He didn't want to waste too much time.

“Riley, you’re smart, quick-witted, and a wolf, so you’re good at leading the way.”

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Zheko, you are exceptionally capable and suitable to cover the rear."

"……Um."

“Sevier, come to me, let’s go together.”

"it is good……"

in this way.

Everyone's positions have changed; it's not like the nightmare anymore.

Keep going!
……

……

Whether it was psychological or something else, Scarlett's nervousness gradually subsided after everyone's positions changed, giving her more time to think.

The environment here wasn't exactly eerie, but the darkness and the rustling sounds added an unwarranted sense of dread.

Actually, if you look closely...

This tree, these flowers, this grass.

It looks normal, nothing strange, it's just that it's grown a little crooked.

There is no need to add psychological burden.

Scarlett is good at comforting herself.

She knew that the more dangerous the environment, the more important it was to manage one's emotions; once a person panicked, danger would strike.

Scarlett continued to reassure herself that this was just a spring outing.

Look at this grass, these flowers, these trees, and this big head that fell down—how beautiful it is…

Bright.

Scarlett's pupils dilated slightly.

Big eyes were filled with a bright green face.

It's a real human face.

It has a nose, eyes, a mouth, and ears.

It's quite green.

If you look closely, you can see that this face looks exactly like Scarlett Johansson's.

But Scarlett didn't have time to look closely.

When she makes eye contact with a face.

The human face tilted its head, opened its blood-red maw, revealing countless teeth, and lunged at her.

"Aaaaaaaaaaa!"

Scarlett let out a deafening scream.

Her body stiffened, her head spun, and her legs felt like they were made of lead. She had no strength left to run and could only scream.

Fortunately, I had people around me.

With a flash of gleaming blade, the terrifying head was cleaved in two, splattering Scarlett's face with hot blood.

"Aaaaaaaaaaa!"

The gory scene further aggravated Scarlett's already tense nerves.

In her nervousness, she turned and threw herself into Zheko's arms, climbing up his body like a koala and holding him tightly.

Riley narrowed his eyes slightly.
