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

Chapter 57 The Evil Scarlett
Chi Ye entered the room, squatted down in front of Scarlett, looked up at her, his dark eyes as gentle and relaxed as the quiet night outside the window. "Scarlett, I know you. You're just a coward, only good at bullying your own kind. Running out to kill someone? No way."

He was one of the guards on the day Scarlett returned to the royal court.

That was the first time he met Scarlett.

Wearing a pure white dress, she timidly disembarked from the airship, her face pale, her light golden eyes darting around anxiously like a small animal that had strayed into a hunting ground, constantly glancing at everything around her.

I was both afraid and curious.

Later, Scarlett was arranged to live in the royal court and study with the princes and princesses.

As he patrolled past the academy, he would often catch a glimpse of her timid gaze, and on one occasion, their eyes met.

Scarlett stared at him blankly, her cheeks flushed, and she turned her head away shyly.

He was also somewhat curious about her.

then.

Every time I pass by the college, I slow down and secretly gaze at her through the stained glass windows.

in this way.

A year has passed.

Scarlett's gaze grew increasingly audacious.

That cowardice, unease, and fear were all replaced by resentment, madness, and rampant rage.

Her personality was like a taut string; if those around her were not careful, they would be provoked into a rage and subjected to arbitrary punishment.

He heard more and more people cursing Scarlett with the most vicious language, wishing her to die.

He never saw those timid yet curious eyes again.

Even after marriage.

Perhaps Scarlett had long forgotten that they had met a long time ago.

But he would always remember how those watery eyes met his gaze through the glass window, and how they looked away.

He hated Scarlett for tormenting and humiliating him, but he couldn't believe that Scarlett would go so far as to kill someone.

Scarlett raised her eyes and met Chi Ye's dark pupils.

That deep black, bathed in moonlight, shimmered with a faint glow, its brilliance astonishing, meeting her gaze.

Scarlett's eyebrows twitched, and she suddenly wrinkled her nose. The dejection in her eyes vanished, and she said playfully, "Of course I didn't kill anyone!"

Chi Ye was taken aback, confused by Scarlett's sudden change. "Then what are you doing sitting here looking so melancholy?"

He thought it was Duke's words that influenced Scarlett.

I was worried that she was upset, so I came over to comfort her.

Scarlett smiled brightly and said, "Melancholy is one of my talents. Let me unleash it to match tonight's moon. How was it? Didn't I look especially beautiful just now?"

Chiye: "..."

He was being overly concerned about her.

Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief, clutching her chest, and said, "That scared me to death. Scarlett, you have no idea how terrifying it was when you were silent. I was so worried that you would turn back into your old self and take your anger out on us."

Every time Scarlett showed a displeased expression.

That means the Herda Palace is going to be in chaos today.

Whoever encounters it is unlucky.

Sevilla is outspoken and speaks his mind; by the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late.

Scarlett stood up, walked over, and looked at him with a smile and anticipation, saying, "Now that you mention it, I remember. Actually, I'm in a very bad mood. Why don't you serve me tonight and cry ten thousand pearls to comfort me?"

"Ahhhh!"

"I do not want!!!"

Serbia was so frightened by those words that he yelled and ran away as fast as he could.

Scarlett then turned to look at Chi Ye.

Chi Ye walked over to meet her gaze, pinching her chin with his fingers, his eyes seemingly curved yet not quite, his gaze like hooks, "Want me to serve you in bed?"

Scarlett admitted that she just wanted to lighten the mood with humor, and that she didn't like dwelling on negative emotions.

But when he met Chi Ye's eyes...

She felt that the moment she said "yes," the man would carry her to bed.

no way.

Those fox-like eyes were so aggressive, brimming with sexual tension, making her feel uneasy and prone to having impure thoughts.

Fortunately, Scarlett wasn't thin-skinned and was good at countering any move. She raised an eyebrow at Chi Ye, her beautiful peach blossom eyes meeting his challenge head-on, "If you can also cry ten thousand pearls, this prince will reluctantly let you serve him in bed tonight."

Chi Ye's forehead twitched: "Hehe." He walked out of Scarlett's room and saw Saviour setting up a tent in the living room.

The cabin wasn't big, with only one room; the three of them slept in the living room tonight.

Chi Ye raised an eyebrow and stepped forward to help Sevilla.

After the tent was set up, Sevier said, "Thank you."

I unzipped the tent and crawled inside, but unexpectedly, Chi Ye followed me in.

He was taken aback, unsure of what Chi Ye was up to. His brow furrowed, and he asked in confusion, "Aren't you sleeping in your own tent tonight?"

Chi Ye laughed and said, "Go to sleep, go to sleep later. I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" Sevier took out her sleeping bag and spread it on the ground.

Chi Ye hesitated for two seconds before asking, "Um... do you have any pearls?"

"pearl?"

Sylvia shook her head: "No, even if there were, Scarlett took them all."

Upon hearing this, Chi Ye made an impolite request: "Can you cry a little now?"

Sevier exclaimed "Huh?" and asked, quite puzzled, "Why?"

Chi Ye said, "I want to buy a few."

He can't cry anymore, but he can buy it with money.

Scarlett loves pearls, so it's not a big deal for him to buy 10,000 for her.

As for serving the emperor in bed.

He didn't think about it.

He simply wanted to give Scarlett the pearl.

When Sevier heard that Chi Ye wanted to buy his pearls, his heart skipped a beat, and a look of excitement flashed in his eyes.

Scarlett's birthday is coming up soon, and he's worried about not having enough money to buy her a gift.

He would be more than happy to exchange pearls for money.

Chi Ye's money is in cash and won't be transferred to Scarlett. He can give Scarlett a surprise!
Sylvia excitedly said, "Sure! How many do you want?"

Chi Ye answered frankly, "Ten thousand."

Sevier's smile vanished. "Get lost."

Chi Ye launched a money offensive, "One thousand per piece."

Sevier was tempted again. "Okay. But I'll have to give it to you over a few days."

He was worried that if he cried out ten thousand pearls at once, he would go blind.

"Row."

Chi Ye readily agreed: "Cash on delivery."

……

……

The next day, Sevilla woke up with red and swollen eyes and bumped into Scarlett. He tensed up and kept his distance, not getting close.

He noticed that Scarlett's personality had been quite changeable lately, a bit abnormal, sometimes evil, sometimes kind, sometimes gentle, and sometimes domineering.

He needs to observe carefully before getting closer.

But we mustn't run into the evil Scarlett.

Scarlett was startled when she saw Sevier's eyes were swollen like eggs. She thought he hadn't handled the poisoned corpse properly yesterday and had been poisoned himself. She hurriedly took out the universal antidote from her spatial storage. "Sevier, are you alright? I have some medicine here, would you like some?"

It's the kind-hearted Scarlett!
Sevier eagerly sidled up to him, grinning, and said, "It's nothing, it's a normal reaction. Yesterday..."

Halfway through the sentence.

Chi Ye appeared behind Scarlett and gave her a warning look.

Chi Ye said that buying pearls was a secret and he couldn't tell anyone.

His money-making is a secret; he can't let Scarlett know, otherwise there won't be any surprises.

Sevier nodded silently, slowed her tone, and lowered her voice: "Yesterday, I encountered two mosquitoes that bit my eyes a few times. It's nothing serious; the swelling will go down soon."

"is it?"

Sevilla's eyes were almost slits.

Can the swelling be reduced without applying medication?
Scarlett was very suspicious.
