You Dali’s Gods’ Team!

Crushed under the feet of the Queen’s Hall back then!

They were bullied mercilessly for a long time!

Making them hate the women of the Queen’s Hall to the core!

Now!

The Queen’s Hall is in decline!

Which means!

They can now do whatever they want with those women!

Their eyes sparkled with greed, staring at the women of the Queen’s Hall like hungry wolves!

Have to admit!

The women of the Queen’s Hall may be a bit vicious!

But they truly do have great looks!

Each one prettier than the last!

Especially the leader, Yan Lan—

That prideful little expression!

Simply makes every man who sees her!

Uncontrollably ignite with the desire to conquer!

To conquer a woman like her!

What an incredibly proud thing that would be!

...

"Those little chicks from the Queen’s Hall, each one is a firecracker!"

"Yeah! Makes me drool just looking at them!"

"Hehe!"

"Before, we could only watch!"

"Now, we can finally get our hands on them!"

"I’ve got my eyes on a few, don’t any of you dare compete with me!"

...

However!

You Dali promptly stopped their eager movements!

"You bunch of idiots, if you want to die, just say so!"

You Dali’s voice rang like thunder among the crowd!

"These women all belong to Lin Lang, we’re just watching over them for him!"

"Can’t you see Lin Lang has an interest in that woman Yan Lan?"

"Touch them and even Heaven can’t save you!"

...

You Dali’s words!

Like a cold blade, sliced through the clamor of the crowd.

The subordinates exchanged glances, reluctant but unable to defy You Dali’s orders.

They knew, though You Dali was brash, the truly terrifying one was the man backing him, Lin Lang.

At the mere thought of Lin Lang’s fearsome name, they couldn’t help but shiver.

That man was simply too powerful!

Not just a shadow over the women of the Queen’s Hall!

He’s practically their shadow too!

He alone could flatten the once overbearing Queen’s Hall!

Making those fiery little queens!

Turn as docile as kittens!

However!

This brought endless humiliation to the women of the Queen’s Hall.

They dared not lash out at You Dali!

Could only vent their fury on Yan Lan and Shen Chuchu.

Whenever night fell!

There would always be some who came to their little hut, using all sorts of derogatory words to shame them:

"Yan Lan, look at yourself now, where’s your Queen demeanor? You’re just like a beggar!"

A woman once favored by Yan Lan, now a lapdog for You Dali, pointed at Yan Lan’s nose with disdain.

"Right, you were so arrogant before, how did you become like this now?"

Another woman chimed in, her face smug as if she were indulging in the pleasure of humiliating Yan Lan.

"Yan Lan, do you still think you’re a queen? Let me tell you, you’re nothing now! Just an ordinary mortal!"

Yet another woman approached, her words like sharp blades, cutting into Yan Lan’s heart.

Shen Chuchu watched Yan Lan’s face grow more haggard, listening to those women’s cold humiliations, feeling her heart ache like it was being sliced.

She finally gathered the courage to persuade Yan Lan:

"Ms. Lan, maybe... you should agree to Lin Lang!"

"Only then can we put an end to this humiliating life."

"Look at you now, and our hard-earned Queen’s Hall, do you really want it to fall into such despair?"

Yan Lan heard this, her eyes flickered with complex emotions.

She looked at Shen Chuchu, her voice deep and firm:

"Chuchu, I can’t do that. I can’t sell my soul for personal gain. We were once the pride of the Queen’s Hall, we can’t let this pride be shamed. We must reclaim our glory through our own strength."

Shen Chuchu heard this, feeling utterly speechless.

At this time!

This woman is still dreaming!

By your own strength?

What strength do you even have anymore?

Yan Lan gnawed her teeth, determined not to bow to Lin Lang.

Her eyes were filled with determination and defiance, as if she wanted to use this last bit of stubbornness to defend her dignity.

Shen Chuchu looked at her, her heart filled with anxiety and helplessness.

She tried again to convince Yan Lan:

"Yan Lan, is this life now what you imagined? We were once so proud, but look at our downfall now. Are you really content with this?"

Yan Lan’s eyes showed no wavering, she resolutely shook her head:

"Chuchu, I understand your kindness. But I can’t sell myself for survival. I’d rather die than lose my dignity."

Shen Chuchu looked at Yan Lan’s stubbornness, feeling a nameless fire rise in her heart.

She fiercely attacked Yan Lan:

"You think you’re really that strong? You’re just a bit prettier! In this chaotic world, can beauty feed you? If you don’t know how to use this advantage, you’re done for!"

Yan Lan was stung by Shen Chuchu’s words, a trace of pain flickered in her eyes.

But soon she regained her determination:

"Chuchu, I know you’re looking out for me. But I can’t sell myself to survive. I believe if we keep going, there will be a turnaround."

Shen Chuchu saw Yan Lan’s determined eyes, feeling even more anxious.

She mocked:

"Yan Lan, why are you pretending to be all high and mighty? Being noticed by Lin Lang is your fortune!"

"Look at the women in the Queen’s Hall now, they will do anything to survive. Yet you still cling to some supposed dignity."

"Let me tell you, without superpower, you are nothing!"

Yan Lan was shocked by Shen Chuchu’s words, looking at Shen Chuchu in disbelief:

"Chuchu, how can you say that? We were once such good friends, and you respected me. Why now, do you speak this way to me?"

Shen Chuchu looked at the hurt in Yan Lan’s eyes, finding it amusing!

Friends?

If it weren’t for the good times with you, would I bother to be your friend?

You were just a tool for me to use!

However!

She certainly couldn’t say that now!

If Yan Lan really got close to Lin Lang!

She could definitely make a comeback!

Tearing their relationship apart wasn’t wise!

In a sense!

She’s doing this for Yan Lan’s own good!

So she hardened her gaze and continued:

"Yan Lan, am I not speaking the truth?"

"If it weren’t for Lin Lang’s interest in you, the women of the Queen’s Hall might have killed you by now! Do you think they would really spare you?"

"They would only envy you, hate you, and find ways to get rid of you. Yan Lan, you need to wake up, reality is just that cruel."

Yan Lan sank into thought, looking at Shen Chuchu’s resolute eyes, feeling uncertain.

She knew Shen Chuchu was right. In this chaotic world, without superpower or background, survival was incredibly difficult. Yet she didn’t want to sell her soul, didn’t want to bow to Lin Lang.

Yan Lan fell deep into conflict, unsure of which path to choose.

She looked at Shen Chuchu’s entrusting eyes, filled with struggle and pain.

She knew!

She must make a decision, one that would allow her to survive.
