Pei Yan knew that Shen Chumo didn't have much sincerity at the moment.

But so what? As long as she stays by his side, he is confident that he can make her truly fall in love with him.

Fortunately, Shen Chumo didn't know what Pei Yan was thinking, otherwise she would have found it utterly absurd and then cursed him as a shameless bastard.

The next day, Shen Chumo got up early, and three burly guards were already waiting for her.

The lead guard stepped forward, nodded slightly, and said in a respectful yet authoritative tone, "Miss Shen, Mr. Pei instructed us to ensure your safety."

Shen Chumo smiled and nodded, looking obedient: "Okay, then I'll trouble you all."

As the guards walked out of the villa and got into the car, Shen Chumo looked up at the four beastmen.

They were the driver, the passenger, and someone else sitting next to her; it seemed they really wanted to keep a close eye on her.

Shen Chumo first had them drive to the city center, where she had a good time shopping at the mall. The malls in this Beast Realm were very different from where she used to live.

At the entrance, a huge floating screen slowly rotates in the air, displaying 3D projections of various products. It not only shows the realistic appearance but also simulates the usage effect through special technology. Consumers can get detailed product information by simply touching the projection.

In the clothing section, smart fitting mirrors have replaced traditional mirrors.

When Shen Chumo picked up a piece of clothing, the fitting room mirror automatically captured her figure and instantly displayed a virtual image of her wearing the clothing. It could also change the color, style, and even match different accessories according to her preferences.

This broadened Shen Chumo's horizons, and she couldn't help but try on a few more items.

Although the orc guard beside him had no expression, his eyes revealed a hint of pride in his familiarity with these technologies.

Besides these, the most popular are virtual game rooms.

Holographic capsules are expensive and unaffordable for ordinary households, so holographic helmets are used as a substitute, but the experience is far inferior to that of holographic capsules.

Therefore, many people will spend their free time in virtual game rooms, spending 20 gold coins per hour to enjoy the immersive experience.

Shen Chumo noticed that every virtual game room was incredibly popular, with queues forming, which showed just how popular the virtual world was in this world.

It can be said that the virtual world is their second spiritual world.

Currently, the core technologies of the virtual world are controlled by the royal families of the three domains and jointly managed by the three domains, which is why peace and continuous development have been maintained.

Shen Chumo pondered to himself that the Three Domains Royal Family controlled such a massive virtual world industry behind the scenes, and its power and influence were probably beyond imagination.

Unfortunately, the royal family has always been low-key, and their information is top secret. Even if Shen Chumo wanted to find out, she could not find much useful information.

After Shen Chumo finished shopping, the three guards were carrying loads of things, and their cold faces showed signs of cracking.

Pei Yan sent them to monitor Shen Chumo, but they ended up becoming Shen Chumo's lackeys.

Next, Shen Chumo arrived at a top-tier restaurant. The setup of a human female with three guards was quite eye-catching.

The surrounding diners all turned their attention to this unusual combination, some with curiosity, some with speculation, and most with surprise.

Shen Chumo seemed oblivious, walking straight to the window seat with her head held high and chest puffed out. The guards followed helplessly behind her, carrying large and small shopping bags.

The restaurant is luxuriously decorated, with crystal chandeliers casting soft light, and exquisite tableware and beautiful flowers set on the tables.

A waiter in a black uniform quickly approached with a professional smile. "Welcome, how many are in your party?"

Shen Chumo sat down gracefully. "The four of you, please bring one of each of your signature dishes."

The waiter nodded slightly, took the menu, and turned to leave.

At this moment, Shen Chumo turned to the guards and said, "Please sit down, don't stand. You've all had a hard day."

Her smile held a hint of slyness, as if she were deliberately teasing him.

The guards exchanged glances. The leader hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Miss Shen, we can just stand here. It's our duty."

Their voices were deep, conveying an undeniable firmness.

Shen Chumo shrugged and didn't press the matter further.

She looked out the window; the streets were bustling with traffic and pedestrians hurrying by, but her thoughts drifted far away.

There were still about two hours until the time she had arranged to meet Lin Ting, and her next plan was also crucial.

Soon, the waiters began to serve the dishes, and one exquisite dish after another was brought to the table, filling the air with a rich aroma.

Shen Chumo picked up her knife and fork, elegantly savoring the food, and casually asked, "You've been around Pei Yan for a long time, haven't you? Is he usually so cold?"

The guards exchanged glances and cautiously replied, "Miss Shen, it is not appropriate for us subordinates to speak about our master's private matters."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chumo simply shrugged and didn't ask any further questions.

Shen Chumo picked up a piece of tender fish, put it in her mouth and chewed slowly. The three guards looked at the dishes and their throats bobbed involuntarily.

They had been following Shen Chumo since morning without even having a sip of water, and now they were starving.

Shen Chumo glanced at them, sighed, and said, "You two have to accompany me to other places this afternoon. Sit down and eat; I can't finish it all by myself."

They looked hesitant.

Shen Chumo directly commanded, "Today I am your master, and I order you to sit down and eat now."

The guards were taken aback by Shen Chumo's sudden firm stance. After a brief silence, the lead guard glanced helplessly at his companion and nodded slightly. The three of them slowly pulled out chairs and sat down, their movements still somewhat restrained.

Shen Chumo smiled with satisfaction, "That's right, don't be shy, eat quickly."

She greeted them warmly, as if she genuinely cared about them.

The guards picked up their utensils and began to eat in small bites. Although they were still somewhat restrained, their hunger made them gradually quicken their pace.

Shen Chumo watched with a smile as they finished all the food.

After they finished eating, the group returned to the carriage. As soon as the three guards settled down, they felt a strong wave of drowsiness wash over them.

The leading guard was startled and instinctively reached for the weapon at his waist, but his arm felt as heavy as lead and he couldn't lift it.

“Miss Shen… Miss Shen, you…”

He spoke with difficulty, his voice hoarse and weak, his eyes filled with anger and resentment.

Shen Chumo sat in the back seat, the smile on her face gradually disappearing, replaced by a cold and resolute expression.

"I'm sorry, I really have no other choice."

She spoke softly, without a trace of apology in her voice.
