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

Chapter 72 It's good to vent, it's best to vent all your anger on the poisonous corpse.

a whole day.

Chi Ye barely paid any attention to Scarlett.

With Hela and her group gone, the number of poisonous zombies increased dramatically, and Chi Ye became completely absorbed in the joy of killing them.

Occasionally, his eyes would meet Scarlett's.

He tilted his head and hacked at the poisonous corpse even more violently.

Arms, heads, and legs of the poisonous corpses flew everywhere. The streetlights, gardens, and rooftops were covered with the remains of the poisonous corpses. Looking around, the entire street had become extremely gruesome.

Scarlett grew increasingly alarmed as she looked at him, and timidly asked, "Isn't he a bit too violent?"

Perhaps because she had done something wrong, Scarlett felt a little guilty. When Chi Ye swung his knife at the zombie, she felt a chill on her neck, as if the knife was aimed at her.

Holst looked at Chi Ye, then turned and glanced at Scarlett.

The rank remains unchanged.

Combined with the scene of him running into Chi Ye with a red face and nervously running to the bathroom when he went out this morning.

I roughly guessed what it was.

He smiled and said, "It's okay, it's normal, he needs to vent."

Scarlett nodded in agreement.

It's good to vent.

It's best to vent all your anger on the poisonous corpse, that way it won't bother you anymore.

……

……

For three days in a row, Scarlett's collection of keys went smoothly, averaging three keys a day. Combined with the one she had already obtained, she would have collected all ten keys and could leave the next day.

Thinking of this, Scarlett was overjoyed and rushed to the shelter to await the final release of poison gas that day.

They had barely arrived when another group of people came in.

With only four teams remaining, the number of shelters spawning has decreased, and the capacity has also been reduced, but Scarlett hasn't encountered any other teams yet.

This is the first time in the past few days.

She looked at the door that had been pushed open, a hint of anticipation in her eyes, wondering who it would be.

Until I saw the person.

The expectation in Scarlett's eyes vanished instantly.

It's Sherry.

When Shirley saw her, she was also somewhat surprised. Her brows furrowed, and a hint of murderous intent appeared on her pretty face.

This murderous intent did not escape the notice of Chi Ye and Holst.

They darted forward, completely obscuring Scarlett.

Sylvia stood beside Scarlett, ready to lead her into the area at any moment.

Shirley knew Scarlett's group's strength and had no intention of starting a conflict, especially since Scarlett had saved her life.

"Female Master..."

Bach stepped aside to shield Sherry, unsure of her thoughts; his first instinct was to protect her.

But when he saw Chi Ye and Holster, remembering the life-saving grace he received that day, his gaze paused, then turned back to Shirley's face, and softly called her name.

I'd like to offer a piece of advice: don't antagonize the other party.

Although they are in positions of power, they are not bad people.

But he stopped himself from saying it.

He had not forgotten Duke's death.

As he hesitated, he saw Shirley nod slightly and say, "It's alright."

Shirley led her beastly husband to sit down on the other side, without looking at Scarlett and the other three the entire time.

Scarlett, however, glanced at her a few more times.

Especially her face.

……

……

This is the last round of poison gas for the day, and as usual, they will spend the night here.

This shelter is a detached villa.

The layout of the villa is extremely similar to the one where Scarlett first met Shirley.

Scarlett was still shaken.

After the rooms were assigned, she quickly went upstairs.

The moment he went upstairs, Shirley stopped him.

As Shirley blocked his way, Chi Ye immediately swung out his nine tails, not one missing, their crimson tips glowing with fire, stopping in front of Shirley, exuding a strong sense of intimidation.

Bach and the other beastmen were horrified when they saw this and rushed forward to protect Sherry. Holster stood beside them, his patterned snake tail radiating an overwhelming chill as he lunged at them.

All three people were bound by the snake's tail. The cold scales pierced their skin, and the sharp pain was not only on the surface, but also took root and sprouted in their bodies like seeds, spreading along their meridians and forming a huge net that pulled wildly through their flesh.

"Female, mistress, be careful."

Bach, enduring excruciating pain, reminded Sherry.

When Shirley saw her beastly husband's face contorted in pain, his eyes bloodshot, her heart clenched instantly, feeling a bitter, aching pain, as if it had been soaked in lemon juice.

But she didn't want to miss such a good opportunity, so she suppressed her discomfort and looked at Scarlett, "Shen Scarlett, let's talk alone."

“No!” Sylvia refused on Scarlett’s behalf.

Shirley's husband once tried to kill Scarlett. He would never let Scarlett be alone with him!

Scarlett didn't want to either.

But looking at Shirley's face, her curiosity got the better of her, and she nodded in agreement.

"can."

"No!" Chi Ye roared, forbidding her from agreeing.

She turned to look at Chi Ye, took out a gun from her spatial storage, pulled the safety, and chambered a bullet. "Don't worry, I'm prepared."

Chi Ye still disagreed, frowning and refusing to back down.

He even considered whether he should just kill Sherry.

Like Sylvia, he resented Sherry's husband for once wanting to kill Scarlett.

Holster, on the other hand, glanced at Sherry, lowered his gaze, seemed to remember something, retracted his snake tail, and said to Scarlett, "You can talk, but not alone. I'll accompany you."

Scarlett thought about it carefully and realized she couldn't relax too much. She turned to Shirley and asked, "So? You don't mind having one more person, do you?"

Seeing that Scarlett had relented, Shirley knew that Scarlett couldn't be alone with her under these circumstances, so she hummed in agreement and they went to an empty room together.

As soon as she entered the room, Shirley said, "Duke is dead."

Scarlett had actually guessed it.

That day, all of Shirley's beastmen were there, except for Duke.

She knew then that Duke was likely in grave danger.

Hearing this news from Shirley, Scarlett's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a little uneasy.

She didn't ask Duke when or where he died, fearing the answer might be related to her.

She is not a saint, and she also avoids giving answers that are not good for her in order to avoid being condemned by her conscience.

But she asked another question.

Do you have an older sister?

Shirley looked up, a fleeting sadness crossing her clear eyes. "Yes."

Scarlett said, "You look a lot like your sister."

Shirley paused, "You've met my sister?"

Scarlett shook her head. "No."

"Then how could you..."

"I've seen her picture."

Shirley paused again, recalling the photo posted on StarNet, her hatred suddenly intensifying. She glared fiercely at Scarlett, but then withdrew her gaze in a somber mood.

After a moment of silence, she asked in a low voice, "Did you kill Duke?"

"No."

Scarlett answered decisively.

His pale golden eyes met Sherry's gaze directly, without flinching or avoiding her, pure and natural, reaching her very core in an instant.

Looking into those bright eyes, Shirley didn't look at them for long, only making eye contact for a second before looking away.

She felt a little guilty, guilty about what she had done to Scarlett.

She truly hated those in power, but she was also grateful to Scarlett for saving her life.

She remained silent for a moment, then turned and left.

This move came suddenly, contradicting Shirley's previous firm desire to be alone with Scarlett. Scarlett was somewhat taken aback. "Is that all you wanted to say?"

Shirley placed her hand on the doorknob, gripping the cold metal tightly, trying to stop her hand from trembling.

She already had the answer in her heart the moment she asked that question.

Even so, she still chose to ask once.

Consider it an explanation to myself.

She didn't answer Scarlett's question, but instead whispered, "I'm sorry."

After she finished speaking, she added, "Also, thank you."

……

……

The night passed peacefully.

The next day, Shirley and her group left without saying goodbye.

Scarlett didn't pay any attention and led the beastmen to find the door. The location of the door was related to the location of the refreshed shelter. Scarlett had a good memory and opened seven doors in a row, all of which were real.

Upon reaching the eighth door, they encountered an uninvited guest.

Hela's companion.

A boy with purple hair and fair skin, who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old.

He smiled and said, "Don't kill me. I've come to surrender. I have many secrets, including a few about you. If you want to know, I can tell you everything."

With Scarlett's safety at stake, Chi Ye was extremely vigilant and swung his knife, not giving the other party a chance to say a second word.

The purple-haired boy reacted with lightning speed. In the blink of an eye, he dodged to the side and moved with lightning speed, leaving a blur in front of everyone. He was behind Scarlett in the blink of an eye, using her as a shield to block Chi Ye's attack.

And quickly whispered in Scarlett's ear, in a voice only they could hear, "Sophia sent us, Your Highness Scarlett."

Two updates are served.
