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

Chapter 86 Everyone is unreliable, you can only rely on yourself.
mark.

It is a dominant totem that appears on the male after the female and male have mated.

The totem is in the shape of a female animal, used to inform people that the male is already possessed and who the female possessor is.

Totems are further divided into permanent totems and temporary totems.

Permanent totems are marks left by females to signify granting male recognition; they are called "marks."

A temporary totem is formed when two people have had intimate interactions, but the female leaves no mark; it disappears automatically after 24 hours.

Ashley asked the question tactfully.

Chi Ye hesitated before answering, and after thinking for a while, he finally said, "No."

Ashley's eyes turned cold. "Not as obedient to her as you guys?"

Chi Ye scratched his head. He didn't know about others, but he was trying to please Scarlett and gain her approval during the cooling-off period to cancel the divorce.

He chuckled awkwardly, "She's the mistress, who else should I listen to if not her?"

Ashley narrowed his eyes, grabbed Chi Ye's collar, and tried to lift him up, but couldn't budge him.

He was shorter and smaller than Chi Ye, and originally wanted to take the opportunity to boost his own prestige, but unexpectedly, this move made him look ridiculous.

Ashley silently released her grip. "Chi Ye, you haven't forgotten everyone's divorce plans, have you?"

Chi Ye was startled and quickly covered his mouth, saying in a panic, "Ashley, it's you who's always wanted a divorce, not me. Don't talk nonsense."

Ashley was the first among them to ask His Majesty for a divorce.

He was too brave; he couldn't even compare, and he didn't want to be implicated.

He wants to be Scarlett's husband for life, and the divorce plan is off the table!

Ashley took in Chi Ye's panic.

He took a deep breath and pushed Chi Ye away.

This bastard!

He no longer believed it.

Ashley also wanted to go to Riley, after all, he was the one who initiated the divorce plan.

But he stopped halfway through.

Think about it, these people are all unreliable, we still have to rely on ourselves.

He can get a divorce as long as he develops an advanced calming agent!
Correct!
A sophisticated calming agent has been developed!

With that motivation, Ashley fell asleep quickly.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already morning.

Ashley walked out of the room dressed neatly, her golden hair styled meticulously, combed back to reveal her smooth forehead, giving her a more capable and sophisticated air.

Wearing rimless glasses.

He doesn't seem like a researcher; he's more like a decisive, stern office worker.

Scarlett was still asleep and hadn't gotten up. Upon hearing the news, Ashley breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the 403 Research Institute alone on the airship.

Yesterday, the two agreed on the terms: Scarlett could come and go from the research institute and visit him at will.

As he left the room, he worried that Scarlett might come with him to the research institute.

He didn't want to be alone with Scarlett.

This wicked woman is so infuriating! He's afraid he'll be driven to death by her before he even gets to the research institute!
Fortunately.

Scarlett was asleep, and he escaped unharmed.

Back at the research institute, Ashley went straight to Lab 27.

After passing through three security checks as usual, I changed into my lab coat and arrived at the laboratory.

There are four senior researchers in Lab 27. Apart from Ashley, the other three are female.

After Scarlett's outburst in the lab, the females rarely spoke to Ashley, only exchanging a few words when docking data.

After docking, he quickly returned to his own test bench and continued his experiments.

This busy activity took up the entire morning.

It was time for everyone to connect their data.

The group arrived at the data room outside the laboratory.

Upload the experimental data you have.

During the upload process, everyone took off their masks to communicate. Although it was a communication, most of the time it was the three females talking while Ashley listened, with some distance between them.

After the exchange and data upload, the group stood in front of the LED screen to check the average values ​​of various indicators and recorded them for easy review in the afternoon.

Because the LED screen is not very large, and the data is quite extensive and complex, it's inevitable that people standing together will be very close to each other.

The group was still diligently taking notes when they suddenly heard a "ding" – someone had entered the lab.

It was lunchtime, and the dean would arrange for someone to deliver the food on time, so no one paid much attention and focused on their work.

After they finished recording, they all turned around together.

The upper half of the wall connecting the data room to the door is a window made entirely of transparent glass. The glass is made of a special material that is incredibly clear and does not reflect light, allowing them to view the data at any time without having to come inside.

now.

Outside the clear glass window stood a strikingly beautiful female. Seeing everyone turn around and their gaze fall upon her, she tilted her head and gave them a sweet smile, "Hi~"

this moment.

The three women all had a sense of terror that they were about to die.

One of the short-haired females quickly pulled the other two females to hide in the far corner of the data room, distancing herself from Ashley to prove her innocence.

I dared not look out the window, much less look at Ashley.

Ashley understood what everyone was afraid of. He frowned, opened the door, and walked towards Scarlett. "What brings you here?"

"I've brought you lunch."

Scarlett picked up the jewel-encrusted food box in her hand and waved it in front of Ashley.

Ashley certainly didn't believe Scarlett had come to deliver lunch to him; she was just using it as an excuse to do her own thing.

That food box probably doesn't contain anything; it's just for show.

He could only pretend to cooperate.

After all, he promised Scarlett yesterday.

He nodded and led Scarlett toward the lounge, but stopped halfway there.

The lounge is a place for everyone to rest together. If they go there, the three females probably won't dare to come.

He had no choice but to choose another place.

Where to go?
Before anyone could react, Scarlett spoke first, "Let's go to the Dean's lounge."

Dean.

SS-rank orc.

She has a kind face and is a very good female who treats every researcher in the institute equally.

Is Scarlett suspicious of her?

Ashley looked displeased, and his brow furrowed even more.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Scarlett say, "I've already spoken to the dean."

With that, Scarlett took his hand and led him outside, giving him no time to hesitate.

He stared blankly for two seconds, initially intending to refuse.

But as soon as he stepped out of the laboratory, he saw Dean Hill standing outside with a beaming smile, bowing slightly in a welcoming gesture, saying, "Your Highness, the lounge has been prepared for you. Please follow me."

I simply couldn't refuse!

……

……

The lounge that Hill arranged was very large, fully furnished with all kinds of furniture, and most importantly, it even had a proper bed.

Ashley stared at the bed, speechless.

He remembered that there were no beds in the dean's lounge.

Hill left after a short while, but before leaving, he glanced at Ashley with a knowing look in his eyes, as if wondering what had happened between him and Scarlett yesterday.

Otherwise, how could Ashley have accepted Scarlett overnight and even granted her access to Lab 27?

But these are not things she cares about.

She had other things to do.

He smiled and left the lounge.
