Queen’s Hall.

"What are you trying to do?!"

Looking at the group of women before her!

Shen Chuchu and Yan Lan’s hearts were filled with gloom!

These women who once received their gratitude and protection!

Now have become the coldest and most heartless traitors!

They looked down, faces indifferent!

Surrounded Shen Chuchu and Yan Lan tightly!

As if wanting to strip away their last shred of dignity.

"Why are you doing this?"

Yan Lan’s voice carried disbelief and anger!

She looked at these women who used to be respectful to her, filled with sorrow.

"Hmph! Do you think you’re still the Queen you used to be?"

"No! Now you’re nothing!"

"We’re just acting according to your old rules!"

One woman scoffed coldly!

Released her C-Class superpower without reservation!

Sounding "whoosh, whoosh"!

As if declaring her terrifying strength!

"You’re trash now, unworthy of the treatment of our Queen!"

"How you treated us before, we will double reclaim!"

The other women echoed!

Now that the situation in Queen’s Hall has changed drastically, they naturally wouldn’t stand on the wrong side!

Seeing everyone’s support!

That woman wore a smug smile!

As if proud of personally pulling Shen Chuchu and Yan Lan from their pedestal!

"Get in!"

"From now on! This will be your residence!"

The women roughly pushed Shen Chuchu and Yan Lan!

Forcing them into a dim storage room beside the café!

"No! We never made you live in a storage room!"

Shen Chuchu struggled, attempting to resist!

But her strength now, in front of these superpower users, seemed so insignificant!

"This is called returning the favor with interest!"

"Did you forget when you ate red wine steak while making us drink rotten vegetable soup?"

That woman sneered!

Eyes flashing with hatred!

...

Yan Lan said nothing!

She bit her lip hard!

Attempting to break Lin Lang’s Spiritual Energy Seal and unleash her powerful superpower again!

Unfortunately!

Lin Lang is an SSS+ Level superpower user!

The restriction he set is as weighty as Mount Tai!

Despite her attempts, it remained unmoved!

Finally!

She gave up!

Just tightly grasped Shen Chuchu’s hand, said in a deep voice:

"There’s no need to argue with them!"

...

"You’ll regret it!"

Shen Chuchu’s voice echoed in the room!

But the women laughed as if hearing the funniest joke.

"Regret?"

"Do you think you still have a chance to turn things around?"

"Our biggest regret was not overthrowing you two vicious women earlier!"

Ultimately!

Shen Chuchu and Yan Lan were driven into that remote little room!

The door slammed shut, as if isolating them from the world.

The women jeered and mocked outside the door!

Celebrating their victory wildly: 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"See, once the Queen, now just a prisoner."

"Haha, how the tables have turned!"

"Before they barked orders at us, now it’s our turn to teach them a lesson."

The women’s laughter echoed in Shen Chuchu and Yan Lan’s ears!

Like sharp knives, cutting Yan Lan’s dignity!

Her face was gray, but her eyes shone with indomitable light.

"Upstarts!"

"Just you wait, I will have my day of comeback!"

"Chuchu, we can’t be defeated by them."

Yan Lan’s voice carried determination and resolve!

"We need to rely on our own strength to reclaim our glory!"

But Shen Chuchu felt hopeless:

"How can we rise again from this?"

...

Inside the storage room, there was only a small glass window.

```

The room’s light was tightly blocked by the clutter outside the window!

Only a faint ray of sunlight trickled through the gap, landing on the floor!

It was the sole bit of warmth in this gloomy world.

On the floor of the storeroom!

Lay the "feast" that the women had meticulously prepared for themselves:

A bowl of thin, pale yellow porridge!

A few pieces of bread, so dry and shriveled that crumbs were barely visible!

And a dish of pickles emitting a pungent sour smell!

This was Yan Lan and Shen Chuchu’s daily fare!

They had been confined here for several days now—

These foods were a stark contrast to the fine wine and steak they once enjoyed!

One couldn’t help but sigh at the fickleness of fortune.

Shen Chuchu sat dejectedly on the ground, looking at the food before her, her expression so gloomy it seemed as if water could be wrung from her face.

She picked up a piece of dry bread and took a small bite!

Immediately, she frowned, finding it hard to swallow.

"We are queens, how can we live like this?"

Her words carried a tinge of resentment!

Yan Lan sat across from Shen Chuchu.

Though she too wore a look of fatigue and helplessness, her eyes remained calm.

"Life inevitably has its ups and downs."

She gently patted Shen Chuchu’s hand, comforting her.

"Although we are in a predicament now, as long as we persevere, there will always be a chance to turn things around."

However!

Every time a woman passed by their room, someone would deliberately stop and use sharp, sarcastic words to provoke them:

"Oh, isn’t this the former high and mighty Queen?"

"How have you fallen to eating garbage now? It’s laughable!"

"Haha, indeed!"

...

These words pierced Shen Chuchu and Yan Lan’s hearts like needles!

Shen Chuchu was infuriated!

She couldn’t help wanting to argue every time!

But if she dared to speak, the women outside would dare to drag her out for a beating!

So, over time!

They chose silence.

Yan Lan constantly advised Shen Chuchu: The most important thing now is to remain calm and rational, waiting for the opportunity to overturn their situation!

Shen Chuchu looked at Yan Lan, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

She did not have Yan Lan’s good mindset!

She was destined for wealth and couldn’t bear such hardship!

Thus!

She couldn’t help but recall Lin Lang’s words, a surge of conflict and struggle arose in her heart—

Lin Lang had said!

As long as Yan Lan was willing to be his woman!

He could lift Yan Lan’s seal, allowing her to return to her peak!

But!

Doesn’t this mean Lin Lang would have another woman?!

No way!

Lin Lang belongs only to me!

I absolutely cannot let another woman have him!

No matter how bitter my days may be!

"Yan Lan, we must not submit to Lin Lang!"

Shen Chuchu indoctrinated Yan Lan!

"We must not sell ourselves for power!"

"We must reclaim our glory through our own strength!"

"That is what is meaningful!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Lan’s eyes showed a hint of gratitude and relief!

She tightly clasped Shen Chuchu’s hand, resolutely saying:

"Chuchu, you’re right. We cannot rely on men; we can only rely on ourselves!"

...

At this moment!

At Patek Square!

You Dali was leading a group of arrogant followers!

Like a swarm of locusts passing through!

Recklessly plundering the territories and resources of Queen’s Hall!

By leveraging Lin Lang’s power, You Dali had become the ruler of Patek Square!

A smug smile hung on his face!

Stride forward confidently at the forefront!

Seeking to thoroughly crush the former glory of Queen’s Hall underfoot!

"From now on, this place is the domain of the Gods’ Team!"

You Dali cheered!

The women of Queen’s Hall, though filled with indignation!

Yet when thinking of Lin Lang behind You Dali!

The man whose strength was so overwhelming it left them in despair!

They could not muster a shred of resistance!

They could only choose silence, choose to endure.
