When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1316 Lorraine 4
She pushed the thick guest list aside and idly fanned herself: "The thought of my daughter-in-law being the spoiled, vicious, and unreasonable Lorraine makes me furious."

"My son is the First Knight Commander of the Royal Knights, and he deserves the best woman in the world!"

"Look how outstanding Jacqueline is! She's gentle and capable."

Patriarch Paget Dubot frowned: "Keep your voice down. You don't understand. William has to marry Lorraine and has to have children."

"Why?" Margery asked unhappily, "My wonderful son!"

“Because the women of the Houston family can basically awaken their bloodline!” Paget lowered his voice: “It doesn’t matter if you don’t like her, as long as she has children, it’s not too late to deal with her later.”

“But Lorraine, she must bear a child for the family, and it must be a daughter.”

Margery was shocked: "No way? Wasn't she not awakened yet? She's already twenty, how could she awaken?"

Paget's eyes darkened: "Whether she awakens or not is not the key. What I want is a girl with her bloodline. I'd be happier if she didn't awaken."

"Think about the Houston family's past glory, don't you want your descendants to be outstanding and your family to prosper?"

Margery fell silent, then took the guest list: "I'll think about it some more."

“That’s more like it,” Paget chuckled. “If you can’t stand her, just give William a few more personal servants.”

Margery smiled, and the frustration in her heart quietly dissipated.

In Tan You's room, she was drinking tea when a young man with an ordinary face suddenly appeared opposite her. Without any ceremony, he took Tan You's teacup and started drinking.

Tan You glanced at him helplessly: "Aren't gods supposed to live in seclusion, far removed from humankind? Why are you out here?"

"You make it sound like I'm in prison," the God of the Abyss put down his teacup, rested his chin on his hand, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Tan You with a mocking expression. "Guess what I just heard in the main courtyard?"

Tan You chuckled: "Boring."

"It's quite obvious that the Dubot family has been dragging their feet all these years, refusing to marry the original owner or let her leave, undoubtedly because they have designs on the original owner's offspring, since Louis is still too young."

"After all, almost all the women in the Houston family can awaken their bloodline. They've been dragging their feet for the past few years, simply observing. But they didn't expect the original owner to be so patient."

"She's clearly a spoiled, love-struck, and vicious woman, yet she hasn't told anyone about this."

The God of the Abyss, utterly bored, said, "It's pointless, you know that?"

"If you ignore emotions and only look at interests, then you'll understand everything." Tan You poured him tea: "You came to see me make a fool of myself, so you can't just watch for nothing, right? Shouldn't you give me some gold coins?"

This was the first time the God of the Abyss had encountered someone as impolite as Tan You. He looked at Tan You with a puzzled expression and said, "Is this how your believers treat their gods?"

“That’s right. If gods can’t bring benefits to believers or bless them to have their wishes fulfilled, then there’s no need to worship gods.” Tan You’s words made perfect sense, and this is indeed what most Chinese people think.

The God of the Abyss chuckled, rubbing his forehead: "What a novel experience."

He thought for a moment, then his tone suddenly became tempting: "Do you know that things from the gods aren't so easy to take? There's always a price to pay?" "Then I don't want it," Tan You said decisively. "Even without you, I can get rid of this family. It'll just take some time, and perhaps it would be easier to change the Dubote family's status to the Houston family."

"I knew you had a bad temper," the God of the Abyss chuckled. "But you clearly have no faith, so why did you try to communicate with the gods yesterday?"

Tan You shrugged, looking completely nonchalant: "I'm just curious, is that not allowed?"

“Sure, of course,” the God of the Abyss was overjoyed, finding it quite interesting to spend time with Tan You.

"Getting back to the point," the God of the Abyss finally finished laughing, and he slumped into the chair opposite Tan You without any regard for his image: "Do you know where my followers live?"

“I know about the place of exile.” Tan You swirled her teacup. “I did my research.”

"Once your identity as a chosen one of the gods is revealed, you will become the lord of the land of exile, a place fraught with danger, like a dark forest, almost entirely populated by evil people..."

"Are not you afraid?"

Tan You's face was full of fighting spirit: "What's there to be afraid of? It's just a matter of who can beat whom."

"And I will always have the last laugh. Perhaps rebuilding the Houston family in exile will be even more challenging."

The God of the Abyss finally confirmed: "Are you really not afraid?"

“Of course,” Tan You raised her eyebrows, “there are no purely evil people in this world, nor are there purely good people. It’s just a matter of different perspectives.”

"Compared to deceiving and scheming with others, it's not so bad if everyone is a villain. At least you won't have any scruples when you strike. I hope they can take a beating."

“I knew I hadn’t misjudged you,” the Abyss God Lang Sheng laughed, pushing a black seal towards him: “This is the Lord’s Seal of the Land of Exile. Take it, and you will be the Lord of the Land of Exile from now on.”

"I hope you can keep them in check. They are really... noisy and troublesome, lawless, and could almost overturn the place of exile."

Tan You stroked the lord's seal: "No matter how noisy it is, there's always a way. As long as I have a place to stand, I'm already very satisfied."

If the Houston family were still around, they would surely protect her once she revealed her identity as a chosen one. But now that the Houston family has fallen, if she were to reveal her identity, she would be like a child with a precious treasure, someone everyone would want to take advantage of.

Moreover, the Dubot family wouldn't release him easily. After all, the original owner had no one backing him. Even if they detained him in the Dubot family, no one would dare to criticize them, since the Dubot family was currently at the height of its power.

The Land of Exile, a place no one dared to provoke, came in handy at this moment. Just as the God of the Abyss had said, the Land of Exile was almost entirely populated by villains. Those who entered the Land of Exile almost certainly died.

Someone once defied the odds and smuggled a goblin into the land of exile, intending to sell it for a good price. Unfortunately, as soon as the goblin left the land of exile, its entire clan was wiped out by the people of the land of exile.

This adds another layer of terror to the place of exile, since the other party clearly demonstrated a trait: protecting their own.

If she were to go to the Land of Exile and become its lord, who on the entire continent would dare to detain her? As for the subsequent battles of wits and courage with the people of the Land of Exile, that would depend on Tan You's own abilities.

While pondering these thoughts, Tan You suddenly leaned closer to him: "As the only god who possesses a physical domain, the Land of Exile... isn't it part of your true form?"
