Jiang Zheyu’s gaze fell on the other top-ten accounts with usernames made of symbols and letters.

So far, only the top-ranked ’sy’ and second-ranked ’z’ had sent her a message.

The other accounts with symbol or letter-based names hadn’t messaged her, but they hadn’t removed her as a contact either.

Jiang Zheyu didn’t know what they were thinking, and at this point, she couldn’t be bothered to ask.

First, she finished filling out the information on the link Zexun had sent her.

After all, by suing these foul-mouthed Beastmen in the Imperial court, she could receive a hefty compensation—just enough to pay off her debts.

"Master Yu Yu, your bath is ready," Xiaoyi’s voice called out.

"Okay, thank you, Xiaoyi." Upon hearing this, Jiang Zheyu put down her Light Brain and went to take a bath.

After her bath, she lay down on her bed to rest.

’Too much has happened tonight. It’s better not to overthink it and just get some sleep.’

Jiang Zheyu had no idea that in the short time she was asleep, things would change so drastically.

The Star Network was already flooded with dirt on her, and an unflattering photo of her was circulating everywhere.

Normally, if a female was being slandered, the Xingdou officials would have intervened.

Even if Xingdou’s officials didn’t stop it, the Empire would have stepped in.

But this time, the ones posting were other females, not males, which made the situation difficult to handle.

Bai Ruo had assigned other females with lower Spiritual Power Levels than her to post unflattering photos of Jiang Zheyu and all the vicious things she had supposedly done in the past online.

There was even a video posted online of Jiang Zheyu torturing a Beastman with a whip.

This female had also added a caption: "Someone sent this to me. I honestly had no idea Jiang Zheyu was this kind of female."

Bai Ruo also reposted this female’s video, adding her own caption: "From now on, Jiang Zheyu is no longer my best friend. I can’t believe she’s secretly this kind of female."

Another female posted an unflattering group photo from a time they had all hung out together: "This is really what Jiang Zheyu looks like."

In this group photo, the other females were all beautifully made-up, while the original Jiang Zheyu still wore that same hideous makeup, making her stand out as exceptionally ugly in the picture.

At this point, Jiang Zheyu had already fallen asleep and hadn’t made any statement, which allowed the smear campaign against her to escalate wildly online.

Some males even tagged the Empire’s official account in unison: "We suggest sending a vicious female like Jiang Zheyu to the Female Comfort Station."

The Female Comfort Station—a place where a female was treated as nothing more than a tool for comfort. They would receive countless clients every day, providing comfort without end. When their spiritual power for comfort was depleted, they would provide physical comfort. In essence, it was a place of permanent imprisonment in a single room, forced to endlessly comfort Beastmen.

And the females there lost all legal protection from the Empire.

The Beastmen who visited the Female Comfort Station were generally not the respectable sort, either.

「Meanwhile」

Bai Ruo looked at the results with satisfaction.

After Jiang Zheyu woke up, while she was brushing her teeth in the bathroom, she wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but looking out the one-way window, she felt that there were a lot more people coming and going outside the main gate.

She silently opened her Light Brain and was immediately stunned by the overwhelming flood of defamatory material.

A toothbrush dangled from her mouth, her tea-colored eyes staring in shock at the ugly photo that was dominating the top of the charts.

’The original owner was never this ugly, even in her worst photos!’

’They deliberately photoshopped my face to be this ugly.’

Jiang Zheyu’s fingers swiped quickly, and she soon saw the statement Bai Ruo had posted.

She finally understood. It turned out this crazy woman, Bai Ruo, was the one fanning the flames.

’I’m certain that Bai Ruo had a hand in what happened last night, too.’

’In that case, Bai Ruo can’t blame me. Let’s just tear away the facade completely.’

However, in the videos the original owner had filmed for Bai Ruo, Bai Ruo had always worn a mask, so they wouldn’t work as good evidence.

But the chat logs between Bai Ruo and the original owner, plus the Light Brain call recordings from her, would be more than enough.

Jiang Zheyu finished washing up and compiled all the evidence.

She marshaled the evidence with the same seriousness she would have for a university PowerPoint presentation, laying it all out.

And so, the video was made, and the slideshow-style attachment was also ready.

Jiang Zheyu posted it all on the Star Network, tagging Bai Ruo with the caption: "As my ’best friend,’ if I’m no good, what does that make you?"

Bai Ruo, who had been constantly monitoring the Star Network, started trembling with rage when she saw the video and attachment Jiang Zheyu had posted.

While enjoying her breakfast, Bai Ruo kicked away a Beastman kneeling beside her and swept all the food off the table onto the floor. "AH! AH! AH! Jiang Zheyu, how dare you? How dare you?! Bitch! Bitch!"

Her Beast Husbands knelt on the floor with their eyes downcast, not daring to speak.

Bai Ruo trembled with fury, her eyes turning vicious. "Fine, fine, fine. You’ve got some nerve, Jiang Zheyu. A C-Level female dares to fight me? Who do you think people will believe, a C-Level female or a B++ Level female?!"

The video Jiang Zheyu posted also began to cause a stir on the Star Network.

In an instant, Jiang Zheyu’s mutually destructive tactic had successfully blackened Bai Ruo’s reputation.

But then again, Bai Ruo had done plenty of disgusting things in private.

Thus, some Male Beastmen who had never dared to speak up began to do so, and events started spiraling out of control.

"I’ve posted many videos of females abusing Beastmen before, but no one believed me. Now that they’re fighting amongst themselves, are you willing to believe it? Females are hypocritical, vicious creatures! They rely on the law’s favoritism to torture and kill their own Beast Husbands and beat many Beastmen to death, and yet the Empire still covers for them!"

"My younger brother wasn’t even an adult when he was dragged back to her home by the female Lolan and tortured to death. I appealed to the Empire multiple times, but my case was always rejected."

"My older brother fought desperately against the Zerg Race on the battlefield, but he was discharged with a high Beastification Value and matched with the female Qing Yue. That female tormented him until his Beastification became permanent! The Empire then took my brother away and imprisoned him forever as a wild beast! He was such a proud, powerful man who protected the interstellar citizens and fought the Zerg Race to the very end, only for his story to end with him being locked up forever like an animal. How ridiculous is that!"

"My eldest brother was beaten to death by that female, Bai Ruo. After my family found out, she sent people to kill my entire family just to maintain her image on the Star Network. If I hadn’t happened to be away from home, I’d probably be a corpse by now too."

...

"We strongly demand the Empire amend the Star Citizen laws!"

"We strongly demand the Empire amend the Star Citizen laws!"

...

At that moment, the Empire released an official announcement: "An emergency special department has been established to investigate the situation. If the facts are confirmed, we will provide a full account to the public."

Jiang Zheyu, while eating her breakfast, realized that things had really blown up.

’But if it’s blown up, then so be it.’

She also felt that if the laws weren’t changed, females like Bai Ruo would only become more and more audacious.

’Besides, if things hadn’t blown up, who knows what Bai Ruo would have tried to pull on me later.’

’So let’s all go down together!’
