The four siblings all lowered their heads.

They were all like obedient little brothers.

Kang Lin cautiously and secretly observed Si Yan.

The tips of his ears turned a suspiciously red.

Si Yan said coldly, "Speak, what exactly do you want?"

Baolin realized he couldn't hide it any longer, so he confessed everything.

"Just the day before yesterday, Jin Yao came to me and said that you are not our biological sister. I thought, how can this be? If you are not my sister, then all our years of friendship will be ruined?"

"I rushed to verify it, and after a whole night of investigation, I found out that you really are not my sister."

"This is devastating. I like you so much, I just want to be family with you."

"So I found my three older brothers. I was thinking you could take whichever one you liked. Once you became partners with my brothers, wouldn't you be my sister-in-law? Sister-in-law is like sister, so wouldn't we be sisters again?"

"Actually... I didn't intend to do anything bad."

Si Yan: "..."

I don't believe you for a second.

However, based on Bao Lin's self-description, Si Yan can probably guess the truth.

Jin Yao found Bao Lin and told her the truth: Si Yan was not Xue Lin's biological daughter. She wanted Bao Lin to fight her so she could reap the benefits.

He's quite intelligent, but it's not very useful.

"Si Yan?" Bao Lin cautiously sought her opinion. "Um, among my three older brothers, do you have a crush on any of them?"

Kang Lin was a little nervous. His legs were trembling.

Si Yan: "...I don't like it, I don't like any of them."

Bao Lin, Jian Lin, and Sheng Lin breathed a sigh of relief, while Kang Lin's ears immediately drooped down, becoming airplane ears.

Bao Lin cautiously asked again, "Then... can we leave now?"

Si Yan narrowed her eyes, "You lot, you tried to harm me, I can't let you go so easily."

The Bao Lin brothers' hearts were in their throats.

Si Yan: "Go back and tell Xue Lin everything you did today, and I'll let you off the hook. Otherwise, I'll personally teach you a lesson one by one!"

Bao Lin and his brothers immediately replied, "Yes, yes, we will definitely tell Father Beast the truth!"

Without lingering any longer, Baolin and the others all left in a flash!

Later, Si Yan heard that on that night, cries of pain echoed from the residence of the City Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City.

Xue Lin, the lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City, personally hung up his children and whipped them.

...

The Wancheng Martial Arts Tournament has concluded.

In the final competition, Snake Demon made his move.

The Illusory Territory defeated the City of Ten Thousand Beasts and became number one.

The Illusory Territory won both the Grand Contest of Wise Men and the Grand Contest of Warriors, and instantly became the most popular tribe in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts!

Even the illusory wine shop is doing great business!

Si Yan immediately started developing the next business line—

Braised pork offal for sale!

The spices include licorice, giving the braised dish a sweet aftertaste.

It tastes even better than before!

The price is also not expensive; a bowl of braised pork only costs one green crystal!

To run a business, you need a source of meat. It would be too much work for everyone to hunt for so much meat, so Si Yan developed another business line: acquisition!

She bought several more shops next to the wine shop, one of which was for collecting game.

The acquired shops were specifically handed over to Snake Shadow for management.

He would accept prey based on its size and the quality of its meat. If the meat was not up to standard, he would refuse to accept it.

So everyone used the prey they hunted to exchange for beast crystals, and then used the beast crystals to eat meat and drink wine at the wine shop.

Very happy.

The witch doctor competition began, and the orcs happily went to watch it.

Because of her postpartum confinement period, Si Yan had to stay at the wine shop.

However, at this very moment, trouble struck the liquor store.

...

Two male leopard beastmen, carrying the corpse of a leopard beastman, arrived at the entrance of the Illusion Wine Shop and began to curse loudly.

"The wicked Deceptive Wine Shop sells poisoned wine and poisoned meat at exorbitant prices!"

"The False Wine Shop is eating dead beasts!"

"The illusory wine shops are all heartless! The snake-beastmen are all black-hearted!!!"

"Don't buy anything from this company! They feed themselves the best food, but give us poisoned meat!!"

Si Yan, originally wrapped in thick animal hide, sank into the space to train the water monster and plant cotton.

Halfway through planting, she heard something happening outside, so she quickly came out of her spatial dimension.

After I came out, I heard shouting and cursing outside.

The snake-beastman who was incubating the eggs nearby narrowed his eyes in displeasure.

Seeing that something was wrong, Si Yan immediately asked, "What happened outside?"

She quickly took off her animal skin hat and skirt and went downstairs.

Shechuan followed and explained, "Madam, two leopard-like beastmen are carrying a corpse over. They say it died from eating our meat and wine."

"Did they actually come to the Illusionary Wine Shop to eat and drink?"

Shechuan said, "I've eaten there. I remember them."

Si Yan's brows furrowed, and she said, "I'll go take a look."

Si Yan walked out of the wine shop and saw a large group of orcs gathered at the entrance, pointing and commenting on the wine shop.

"I heard that someone died from eating at the Illusory Wine Shop."

"They sell it for such a high price and someone died there. I can't eat here anymore."

"That's right. When I first came to Wancheng Society, I thought Sage Si Yan was incredibly powerful, and Lord of Illusion was also strong. How could they sell poisoned meat and poisoned wine?"

"Luckily I'm poor, luckily I can't afford it."

The two leopard-beastmen who carried the corpse, Da Shi and Da Tou, were cursing and swearing at the entrance of the wine shop.

"The three of us brothers came to Wancheng together to broaden our horizons. Seeing how popular the Void Tribe is lately, we thought we'd come to their wine shop for some wine and meat."
