A perfect hand... she's definitely going to win!

However, in order to tease Chloe who was destined to lose, she also chose not to take Chloe's cards.

"Don't rush, it's not your turn yet... Then I'll stack two of them together and summon a giant jet!"

"?"

Li Baixue was stunned when Chloe suddenly placed a card on the table that she had never seen before... She almost thought she had played the wrong card.

Then she looked at the table, then at her hand... and then flipped the table and said:

"You're cheating! This wasn't the Dou Dizhu game we were just playing!"

However, seeing Li Baixue flip the table, Chloe stood up, walked to Li Baixue's side, pinched her chin with a "wicked" smile, and then said:

"Why did you flip the table? It's not my fault! And how could I possibly cheat? I never said it was Dou Dizhu... I just told you it was a card game. So what? A bet's a bet!"

Although Li Baixue's face turned slightly red after Chloe pinched her chin, she still bit her lip lightly, tilted her head slightly to the side, and said in a defiant tone:

"You clearly didn't explain it clearly! And what we just played was clearly a normal game of Dou Dizhu... Stella, you be the judge! Didn't you join the game too?"

Li Baixue wanted Stella to judge the matter, but after hearing her words, Stella fell silent... and she also looked like she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Seeing Li Baixue and Stella's reactions, and hearing Li Baixue's defiant statement, Chloe released her chin, then stroked her smooth, pudding-like face, and said to Li Baixue in a tone that was more than three parts surprise and seven parts delight:

"Oh? You actually asked Stella to judge this? It seems you and Stella have been getting along quite well lately, Snow White~ But which side do you think Stella would normally take..."

But halfway through her sentence, Chloe changed the subject and turned to Stella, saying:

"But since you've asked Stella this question, then... Stella, tell us your true thoughts, and don't take sides."

Before Stella heard Chloe ask her to reveal her true thoughts, she hesitated, glancing at the five ambiguous cards in her hand, unsure of what to say… But finally, encouraged by Chloe, Stella, as if having made up her mind, revealed her hand and said to Chloe and Li Baixue:

"Although...but...I think I won..."

"..."

Looking at the five cards in Stella's hand, Chloe fell silent... Then she staggered back a few steps, returned to her seat, and said to Li Baixue and Stella in an awkward tone:

"How about we skip this round and continue playing Dou Dizhu?"

But Li Baixue chuckled, then revealed an expression that seemed both mocking and delighted, and said:

"You said you were willing to accept the consequences of your bet! Wearing the 'Succubus Suit' for a whole day, nobody can escape!"

"Um... Stella, how about..."

"I want to see Daddy wear... is that okay?"

Chloe originally wanted to discuss things with Stella, the "winner," but before Chloe could finish speaking, Stella looked at her with expectant eyes and said... It seemed that Stella had indeed listened to her earlier words, that is, "speaking her true thoughts"...

"...Okay, I'll wear it!"

Chapter 391 A Bold Idea...

Although Chloe was very reluctant, in order not to disappoint Stella, Chloe gritted her teeth and changed into the "game punishment" that had been agreed upon before – the so-called "succubus outfit" – together with Li Baixue.

However… since this is a “succubus outfit,” it’s definitely not the kind of risqué clothes that proper succubi wear like Tiffany… After all, if it were just that, what kind of punishment would that be?

We're all girls, and we're not at a disadvantage... Well, although for Chloe, wearing such revealing clothes would be a severe punishment, at least Li Baixue and the others wouldn't see it as a punishment...

Besides, Chloe wasn't interested in them wearing those proper succubus outfits...

So what exactly is this so-called "Succubus Set"?

"puff……"

"..."

After Chloe and Li Baixue exchanged the costume card Chloe had drawn from the system, which was called the "Succubus Set," they looked at each other... and then Chloe couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This so-called succubus outfit is actually just a regular cheongsam with a slit. It might look a bit sexy on someone with long legs, but on loli characters like Chloe and Li Baixue, it doesn't look much different from normal clothes.

Clothes are not the main focus; the focus is on the makeup.

Since it was a "one-piece outfit change" card drawn from the system, after using this card, even the makeup on my face was already done.

But this makeup is the real focus of the punishment... It's a very heavy makeup. From Chloe's perspective, Li Baixue's face looks like it's covered in a thick layer of foundation, so white it's almost unsettling, and there's also a bright red smeared on her cheeks... Of course, if it were just that, one could say it's like the makeup of a "geisha" from Japan.

However, the reason why Chloe and the others unanimously considered this a punishment is that the makeup must not be that simple... In order to highlight the "succubus's allure", the makeup also added purple eyeshadow and a thick layer of Barbie pink lipstick.

And in order to highlight the "charm", the makeup seems to have drawn two black eyeliners at the corners of the eyes to make them look like "charming eyes"... But something seems to have gone wrong, and the "eyeliner" ended up on the face... Then, as if the makeup was giving up, a few more black lines were drawn on the face.

These few black lines completely transformed the makeup... They made Chloe and the other girl's facial features appear more defined and three-dimensional... In simpler terms, they added a few "Araki lines"...

Simply put, this makeup is a carbon copy of the Tequila Girl... even more disgusting than the original... cough cough, "seductive".

As for saying that Chloe and Li Baixue's cute loli faces aren't as lethal as "Tequila Girl"? That's wrong... It's just that they still have some lethality, after all, they're products of the system, so the quality is guaranteed.

Otherwise, Chloe wouldn't have been able to stop laughing...

Seeing Chloe unable to suppress her laughter, Li Baixue clicked her tongue and then said to Chloe:

"You promised you wouldn't laugh."

"Well, I've received professional training... pfft... unless I can't help it..."

"Tsk."

Seeing Chloe unable to maintain her composure, Li Baixue's brows furrowed... Then, her gaze fixed intently on Chloe's makeup...

But soon, as if she had realized something, she clicked her tongue again... and then slightly turned her head away.

But beneath her heavy makeup, her cheeks were flushed with a cherry-red hue.

For some reason, she looked at Chloe's makeup... and even thought it looked kind of good.

When she first saw the "preview," she found it quite funny... but for some reason, after seeing the "actual effect" on Chloe's face, she found it increasingly... somewhat beautiful.

The reason she clicked her tongue was not only to express her dissatisfaction with Chloe "mocking" her, but also because she felt that something was wrong with her... Why did she think this funny outfit looked good? Was there something wrong with her?

Just as Li Baixue was thinking this, Stella, after seeing Chloe and Li Baixue both wearing the "Succubus Set," stared at it for a moment before speaking to Chloe with a slightly excited tone:

"Dad...this outfit looks surprisingly good...I want to wear it too!"

"Stella, what did you say? It looks good?"

Upon hearing Stella's words, Chloe's smile instantly froze, and she then asked Stella a question with a puzzled expression.

After receiving Stella's affirmative answer, Chloe subconsciously touched Stella's forehead to check if she had a fever...

However, after hearing Stella's words, Li Baixue was secretly alarmed and thought to herself:

Is this the effect of the "Succubus Set"? I never thought that just applying makeup could affect my aesthetic sense... Damn, it really looks better the more I look at it!

It's really scary!

Immediately afterwards, Li Baixue also told Chloe about this guess, asking Chloe to "stop this magic" and end this "punishment game" in advance... before her aesthetic sense was completely distorted.

……

Chloe had no idea that the "Succubus Set" costume card she had drawn from the system had such a special effect... In any case, she couldn't tell.

After all, this was the first time Chloe had drawn such a strange card... As for whether the card's effect was like Li Baixue's, capable of distorting one's aesthetic sense... Chloe would have to find an opportunity to test that out... but obviously not now.

As for why Chloe had points again to draw cards... well, after helping Miucia, Chloe paid off her "debt" to the system, and her points finally returned to a positive number... and she even made a little money.

This new card was actually something Chloe did when she had nothing to do after contacting Demon King Stella in the north, and she couldn't resist doing two 10-pulls... Although Chloe asked Stella to do the card draw, it wasn't something like "classic fashion junk", but she did get two not-so-useful items.

Aside from the [Costume Change Card] that Chloe initially found ambiguous but was inexplicably categorized as a rare card, Chloe also drew an [Avatar]... Simply put, this item is a second body that Chloe can freely control, with strength equivalent to Chloe's original body... which is Master level.

But this is useless to Chloe... After all, it's just a master-level body, what use is it?

Instead of talking about a "second body," Chloe already has another one in her storage space... and that energy-based body is even more durable and can even unleash a larger amount of power. If Chloe wants to change her body, why not use that one?

But it can't be said to be completely useless... After all, unlike that body that's gathering dust in the storage space, Chloe also tested it and found that this [Avatar] doesn't require her to completely switch her consciousness into this body, and can even be "controlled in two ways"... Maybe it will come in handy sometime.

The "Costume Change Card" was used as "punishment" because Chloe couldn't understand its purpose other than being funny...

However, after learning that this card's costume-changing function really does have a similar "cognitive pollution" effect... and that it can be used on people unconditionally and without limit, Chloe had a bold idea...

Perhaps, with a little manipulation, she could warp the aesthetic sense of the Abyss Cult members...

Chapter 393 Work is Here!

Chloe had this bold idea because for a moment she thought... if she could distort the aesthetic sense of the entire Abyss Order, wouldn't everyone in the Abyss Order wear such conspicuous makeup? Wouldn't that make it easier for them to distinguish members of the Abyss Order hidden in the crowd?

However, Chloe only thought about it for a moment before shaking her head with a self-deprecating smile.

Putting aside the fact that the system's card only seems to have the function of distorting aesthetics, even if the card really does have the function of distorting aesthetics... her idea of ​​distorting the aesthetics of the entire Abyss Order is still too far-fetched.

Besides, when it comes to "distortion" alone, what can be more "distorted" than the infection of the abyss?

And even disregarding all other influences, if Chloe really could distort the aesthetic sense of the entire Abyss Order... that wouldn't make them stupid!

Who would wear such conspicuous makeup when they're infiltrating?

So Chloe realized she was overthinking it... the card was just a prank.

Aside from being a prank, this card probably won't actually be of any use... right?

……

At Li Baixue's insistence, and because Chloe feared that Stella was truly affected by the hidden influence, Chloe agreed to withdraw the "game punishment"... Moreover, Li Baixue, as the winner, had no objection to this, because her aesthetic sense had been slightly distorted, and she was actually quite disappointed with the punishment.

Besides, Chloe and the others were just slacking off anyway, and they had plenty of time to play... so they devised another "game punishment" and continued playing.

On another note, why was Chloe so leisurely slacking off and playing with Li Baixue and Stella in the "loudroom" on the northern side?

That's because Chloe really doesn't have much to do.

After all, she had already handed over the work to Ilya and the others... Even if she had given it to them before because she had other things to do, she was too lazy to take it back now.

Furthermore, if she were to take over midway through, her work efficiency might not be as high as if it were entirely handed over to Ilya and the others...

As for why... it's because the work in the north is now nearing completion, and what needs to be done is to collect and analyze the "data".

Don't forget, the northern region was one of the first large-scale experimental plantings, so collecting and compiling "experimental data" was also a very important task... However, although it was very important, the work was actually quite simple. It was just a matter of going to the heads of different regions to collect and compile the "data"... The key was the cooperation of those regional heads, and that Ilya and her team made no mistakes in compiling and organizing the data.

This is also why Chloe felt comfortable entrusting all the work to Ilya and the other "outsiders"... surely there wouldn't be any problems with compiling and organizing data, right?

However, if Chloe takes over midway, she can continue to collect the data, but she will have to start organizing it from scratch.

That's why Chloe said that if she took over halfway through, the efficiency would be slower.

It would be better to wait until they've finished compiling and organizing the data, and then she can proofread it all at once...

In short, Chloe can now slack off without any guilt!

Why were Li Baixue and Stella slacking off in the lounge with Chloe? Because Li Baixue was clearly not suited for this kind of work… not that she couldn't do statistics, though she was still a child, she had learned from Meryl for so many years, this small task was easy for her…

However, due to her rather unusual disguise... after all, there are many demons in the north who are familiar with the werewolf race, so it is not suitable for her to "show her face" and go to various regions to collect statistics.

So Chloe didn't actually assign her any work... her only job was to protect Stella... so it's perfectly reasonable for her to slack off with Chloe.

As for Stella... although Chloe did assign her a job, otherwise Chloe wouldn't have left her in the north in the first place.

However, the job she was supposed to do hadn't actually started yet, so it's normal for her to slack off...

And now that Chloe has come to the north, she certainly can't let Stella do this job alone... After all, this job involves disguising herself as a member of the Abyss Order.

Chloe left Stella in the north for one of her purposes: to allow Stella to project an aura of the abyss in case of any "unexpected situation"... or more precisely, to project the aura of a "high-ranking official" to keep the situation under control.

This was done to stabilize the morale of the Abyss Cult minions in the north who were involved in the planting, and to prevent them from causing any "unexpected situations".

Of course, if nothing unexpected happens and those members of the Abyss Order obediently participate in the harvest work, then everything will be fine.

Why use "senior officials" to suppress the Abyss Cult's "emergency situations" instead of directly dealing with those who created them?

As mentioned before, the reason why planting in the north has been so successful is, frankly, due to the hard work and leading role played by these Abyss Order members...

In short, although these guys were infected by the Abyss, they were able to exert a level of labor that even ordinary demons couldn't do... So if the Abyss Cult members who created the "emergency" were dealt with violently, and other Abyss Cult members noticed something... then the efficiency of this harvest would be greatly reduced.

And honestly, if they weren't the best labor force for this operation, and if they weren't kept around to do manual labor, these minions of the Abyss Order would have been wiped out long ago during this period.

Actually, if Chloe hadn't stopped her, Lulu, the "Dragon King" who was responsible for coming here to support her, would have killed all these low-level minions of the Abyss Order according to the list.

As for what happened to these lackeys after they began to doubt Chloe's plans and "runes" before this? It can only be said that they had already been "arranged"... In short, it can be summed up in four words—discard them after they've served their purpose.

Moreover, it wasn't Chloe who did it, but the Dragon King.

These lackeys of the Abyss Order probably never imagined that their leaders would actually "collude" with the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Clan.

Ahem, in short, at this stage, if someone creates an "unexpected incident," we cannot deal with these people for the time being... We should focus on stabilizing morale.
