Su Ling had never seen such a humble Ji Lingyuan.
She felt completely at a loss for a moment.
‘No, no, why?’
She was mostly confused.
Why her?
There were plenty of girls better than her.
She was even an impure person, a Mouse that everyone looked down on, someone who would go to bed with anyone for money.
“B—Boss, um, I think you might have the wrong idea,” Su Ling said, her face turning pale.
The thing she feared most had finally happened.
Without any warning, in the Lower City, and even in front of another guest, the woman had confessed to her.
Was this some kind of fantasy?
She looked at Ji Lingyuan and then glanced at Wen Ruyu.
Both were her guests. How had things turned out like this?
“I’m serious,” Ji Lingyuan said, her expression grave.
Wen Ruyu’s brow furrowed.
“I think I understand now. You were the little one’s previous guest, weren’t you? Tsk, how did you end up lusting after her body too?”
How shameless.
She completely forgot that she was no different from Ji Lingyuan.
Ji Lingyuan was instantly enraged.
What did she mean by “lusting after” Su Ling’s body?
“I should be asking you! You, the news is all over the internet right now!”
Ji Lingyuan turned on her phone, and sure enough, any random video showed Wen Ruyu pulling Su Ling away.
The internet was in an uproar.
One side cursed Su Ling and Wen Ruyu while pitying the Bureau Chief.
The other side directly defected after seeing Su Ling’s appearance.
Their morals followed her looks, claiming there must be some hidden story behind it.
Perhaps the Bureau Chief had torn them apart, and they were just a pair of star-crossed lovers.
Strangely enough, according to previous incidents where public opinion exploded, the people involved would have been doxxed by now.
However, nobody knew Su Ling’s name yet.
‘Heh, shouldn’t you thank me?’ Rourou thought.
“Wait, what do you mean by ‘too’? You…”
Ji Lingyuan keenly caught onto a specific word.
Wen Ruyu turned her head away, feeling a bit guilty.
She had accidentally let it slip.
“You too?”
Ji Lingyuan’s expression was a sight to behold.
There was shock, anger, and eventually a bit of relief.
“I’m not like you,” Wen Ruyu said awkwardly.
“How are you different? Good grief, after all that talk, you’re just like me.”
Ji Lingyuan’s teeth itched with frustration.
She had thought there really was some tragic love story involved, but it turned out the woman was the same as her.
“Regardless, I’m serious. Please consider it.”
Ji Lingyuan grabbed Su Ling’s shoulders, her expression extremely solemn.
“Me too. My intention to marry you is also serious,” Wen Ruyu added.
Su Ling looked at the two of them, her head starting to throb.
One was a cold, older-sister type, and the other was a mature wife.
One wanted her to be a girlfriend, while the other wanted to marry her.
Seriously, not even an adult manga artist would dare draw something like this.
“No, no, you’ve definitely mistaken your lust for my body as love,” Su Ling said, waving her hands frantically.
She had a very clear understanding of herself.
These two were obviously mistaking their carnal desires for the feeling of a fluttering heart.
“She’s talking about you, you pervert,” Ji Lingyuan snapped at Wen Ruyu.
Wen Ruyu rolled her eyes.
“It’s clearly you.”
“You’re shameless! You have a wife and even a daughter, yet you’re thinking about marrying again? My god, I’ve never seen someone so thick-skinned.”
“I’m doing this to protect the little one. The center of public opinion has shifted back to me. As for you, you’ve just been making a scene. Have you actually thought of a way to help her escape this storm?”
“You!”
The two of them began to argue directly.
*Gurgle—*
Just then, both of their stomachs growled.
It was already 11:00 PM.
Neither of them had eaten dinner, and they had barely touched lunch.
By this time, they were already exhausted from hunger.
“Um…”
Su Ling raised her hand and said weakly, “You’re hungry, right? Do you want to come to my place?”
“I’ll cook some noodles for you. How does that sound?”
***
“Tsk, tsk. Is this the scapegoat you found? She’s quite good-looking~”
On Sky Island, inside Meng Dalei’s villa, Meng Dalei was currently tied to the bed.
Her mouth was stuffed with a white silk stocking, and her face was flushed red.
Sitting on her was the older sister, who was browsing through her phone with great interest.
The internet had exploded.
Wen Ruyu had announced in front of numerous cameras that she was divorcing Meng Dalei and intended to marry the person in her arms.
Unfortunately, the person in Wen Ruyu’s arms had been blocked from view.
Their face couldn’t be seen clearly, but many people had captured a profile shot.
Based on that exquisite profile, one could tell she was an absolute beauty.
“Tsk, tsk. She looks just like the Empress. Hehe, no wonder. Since she’s so similar to the Empress, she must be very beautiful~”
The older sister said with a giggle.
“Hey, little puppy, do you have the files on this scapegoat?”
The older sister moved her body away, and Meng Dalei immediately gasped for air, like a drowning person finally reaching the shore.
“Woof! Woof! Master, I do! I do! It’s on my computer!”
“Give me access.”
“Hehe, okay, Master!”
After the permissions were transferred, the older sister finally obtained the access to the intelligence system she had been longing for.
The reason she had gone through so much trouble to seduce the high-flying Meng Dalei was for this planet’s intelligence network.
She searched for information regarding the Zerg on this planet.
Oh? The latest report was from this morning?
She suddenly perked up.
Twenty years ago, that Witch had torn open a wormhole, and some Tyranid Soldiers were occasionally sucked in and brought here.
This increased the difficulty of their search for the Empress.
Many times, they would finally find information about the Zerg only to discover it was just a mindless Tyranid Soldier that had lost its way.
“Why is it so mangled? I can’t see anything.”
She frowned.
As a member of the Imperial Guard, code name G502, she would have been able to sense if it was an Imperial Guard or a soldier if she were at the scene.
But just from photos, she really couldn’t tell.
After all, the scene was too gruesome.
The corpse was smashed into tiny pieces, lacking even the value for experimental research.
However, she soon noticed something off.
The files stated that the situation was resolved by a student from the Witch Academy.
Ji Lingyuan, 23-year-old, **Sequence [Blaze]**, Transcendent Witch.
Even for a Tyranid Soldier, given the Zerg’s unnatural physical constitution, it was impossible for a Transcendent Witch to blow it into such small fragments.
There were only two possibilities for this.
One was that the Witch student was a genius, already at the peak of the Transcendent Witch rank and with one foot in the realm of a Great Witch.
The other possibility was that the Zerg had completely abandoned all its defenses, facing the Witch student with a near-suicidal attitude.
If it were the second case, a Tyranid Soldier couldn’t do it.
It was simple.
Tyranid Soldiers were split from the concept of “reproduction” and possessed no intelligence whatsoever.
Facing danger, they would only follow biological instincts and fight back desperately.
“An Imperial Guard!”
G502 stood up, her eyes filled with excitement.
Beneath her, Meng Dalei looked like she wanted more, but she was kicked aside.
“Could it be an Imperial Guard from the other Royalists? Or maybe…”
If it were an Imperial Guard searching for the Empress, that would be fine.
She was only afraid that it might be someone sent by that imposter.
“Where is your Space Anchor? Give me the permissions.”
G502 pulled the white silk stocking out of Meng Dalei’s mouth and pulled it directly onto her own foot.
She took a bottle of perfume from the cabinet and poured the entire bottle over herself without hesitation.
She had to go to the scene in the Lower City.
The Zerg corpses from this morning were too numerous and scattered, and they hadn’t been completely cleaned up yet.
She had to confirm it for herself.
