Then, Herren slowly said, "I admit that I did raise Shen Chumo for a while, but so what? Just like you said, she is just a human female. I was just attracted to her because she was pretty."

Later, she left without saying goodbye, and I didn't pursue the matter further. Little did I know that she would get involved with the Linghu Lake affair.

Herren spread his hands, looking completely innocent.

Anpu sneered, "Helen, do you think this reason can convince everyone? If you hadn't brought Shen Chumo to the Spirit Lake that day, how could she, a human, have survived?"

A hint of annoyance flashed across Herren's face. "Anpu, stop questioning me! Didn't you also have a relationship with Shen Chumo?"

"What? You can't forget your old flame, but you forbid others from having feelings for her? You didn't protect her back then, and now you're here to interrogate me? Do you really think you're some kind of righteous hero?"

As he spoke, he took a step forward, staring directly at Anpu, trying to overwhelm him with his presence: "You keep saying that I have problems, but what about you?"

Who can guarantee there wasn't something fishy going on between you and Shen Chumo? Maybe you're the one secretly colluding with her, deliberately trying to pin the blame on me to divert everyone's attention!

Herren grew angrier the more he thought about it; he was already burning with rage at being betrayed by Shen Chumo.

He couldn't eat or sleep well these past two days. Every time he thought about the sweet days he had with Shen Chumo, he wondered if Shen Chumo had been lying to him all along.

Then what about everything he did for Shen Chumo?

Helen had always been a chosen one, never imagining that one day he would be so easily manipulated by a human female.

Pei Yan stood to the side, his expression also grim. After all, he too had been manipulated by Shen Chumo. He had been so confident back then that he could keep Shen Chumo by his side.

Little did he know that Shen Chumo not only ran away, but also left him with a huge mess, forcing him to take over the position ahead of schedule. As a result, he had to spend more time dealing with family matters.

"Alright, alright." The Li family head stepped in to smooth things over. "Now is not the time to blame each other. Shen Chumo can make the Spirit Lake recognize her as its master, so she must not be a simple human."

Now that Linghu Lake has been occupied, we have all suffered heavy losses.

The most urgent task is to devise a plan to reclaim the Spirit Lake. You have all interacted with that human; do you know her weaknesses?

Anpu and Herren's eyes flickered slightly before they finally said, "No, she has always pretended to be weak in front of us. Even if she has a weakness, she wouldn't let us know."

Upon hearing this, the head of the Li family frowned deeply, a hint of anxiety flashing in his eyes.

"Is there really no way to deal with her? She can't be invincible." He paced back and forth in the hall, the dull sound of his shoes scraping against the floor seeming to strike at everyone's hearts.

He Yan snorted coldly, "How could she not have weaknesses? Don't forget, she's a human being, she also needs to eat, drink, relieve herself, and sleep. She's currently living over at Spirit Lake, which is a desolate place. The food she eats, the things she uses, and the resources she needs for cultivation can't just appear out of thin air."

A calculating glint flashed in his eyes. He stopped and looked at the crowd.

"You mean, we should cut off her supplies?" Herren immediately understood his grandfather's intention.

He Yan nodded slightly, "That's right. Although the Spirit Lake has spiritual energy, she will definitely still have to obtain living supplies and some special cultivation resources from the outside world."

"If we can control her access to supplies and then secretly cut them off, she will eventually leave Spirit Lake, and that will be our best opportunity."

The head of the Li family's eyes lit up.

"That's a good idea. No matter how powerful Shen Chumo is, it's impossible for him to safely guard the Spirit Lake when resources are scarce."

An Daosheng nodded, "Then we will immediately send people to guard the entrances to Linghu Lake and major towns, find out all possible supply transport routes, and lay a tight net."

"Stop any suspicious supply transport convoys, regardless of size."

His eyes revealed a fierce glint, as if he could already see Shen Chumo in distress due to a shortage of supplies.

As they were discussing, a series of crisp footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. Then, the door was gently pushed open, and a charming figure came into view. It was none other than Chu Fu, the third princess of the royal family.

She wore a moon-white brocade dress embroidered with gold butterflies and flowers, the skirt layered and flowing like moonlight.

"Hey everyone, what important matter are you discussing? It's quite a lively scene!"

Chu Fu had a faint smile on her lips, but her eyes were sharp as she scanned the faces of everyone present.

An Daosheng and the others' expressions changed slightly, and they quickly got up to greet them.

Some family members who did not know Chu Fu were first attracted by her elegant and noble temperament and her stunningly beautiful face, their eyes filled with amazement.

Seeing the serious look on An Daosheng's face, and noticing the noble air emanating from her clothes and accessories, they instantly realized that she was no ordinary person.

"Third Princess, what brings you here?" An Daosheng said respectfully, while secretly wondering about Chu Fu's purpose.

The Third Princess... she's actually a member of the royal family!

Everyone knows that royalty never concern themselves with worldly affairs, so why would she suddenly appear?

Some of the family members were secretly amazed, holding their breath and afraid of making the slightest mistake. The atmosphere in the room instantly became more and more oppressive, as everyone waited for Chu Fu's response.

Chu Fu turned around, her gaze sweeping over everyone's faces as if scrutinizing something. After a moment, she smiled softly, breaking the silence: "What, can't this princess concern herself with the important affairs of my Beast Domain?"

The occupation of Spirit Lake is a matter of great importance concerning the entire Beast Realm, and naturally, this princess must personally oversee it.

He Yan cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness's concern for the Beast Domain is truly admirable. However, we, the major families, have been discussing the matter of the Spirit Lake for a long time and have already come up with a preliminary plan."

Chu Fu raised an eyebrow and asked with great interest, "Oh? Tell me, this princess would like to know what brilliant plan you have come up with."

An Daosheng stepped forward and explained in detail his plan to cut off Shen Chumo's supply of materials.

Chu Fu listened quietly and gently shook her head: "This plan makes some sense, but it may not work. Since the human was able to take away the Spirit Lake right under your noses, how do you know if she has been planning this for a long time and has accomplices?"

An Daosheng frowned. "So, what does the princess mean?"

Chu Fu slightly curled the corners of her lips, "Didn't you ever think about why that human would occupy such a large area of ​​the Spirit Lake, spanning hundreds of miles? Does she need such a large place to live, even though she's just one person?"
