Chapter 18: The Confident Highness and the Humble Highness
"What? You laughed out loud with joy after knowing you were going to participate in the competition?"
Scarlett asked Chiye with a smile, her tone neither salty nor bland.
Chi Ye raised his eyebrows, and his handsome face suddenly became more unruly. "Yes, I'm so happy, so happy."
He stared at Scarlett for a few seconds. "Next, Your Highness, should you tell us what you need us to do? For example, sleep with you tonight? Improve your mental strength."
As soon as these words were spoken, the already overly calm atmosphere immediately fell into a dead silence.
No one believed that Scarlett would live in peace with them or even divorce them.
They remained on guard.
The level restrictions for the resource competition are well known.
Scarlett is F-rank, and if she wants to participate, she must improve her mental strength.
How could the delicate and precious princess of the empire go to the Lost Continent with them to suffer?
Then we can only let them contribute their mental strength.
It's not like she hasn't done that before anyway.
Back then, Holst was badly beaten by Scarlett and it took him half a year to recover.
Scarlett listened to Chiye's words patiently, then laughed even louder than Chiye, with a sarcastic ending that was even sharper. "Don't worry, I'm not interested in you. You're all going to get divorced, so you'd better keep your chastity."
"After all, chastity is a man's best dowry. If you can't be a legal husband, being a concubine is not bad either."
"you!"
Chi Ye slammed the table and stood up, looking furious. Killing intent instantly flashed in his eyes, staring at Scarlett until she broke out in sweat.
She was scared to death, but her mouth was very hard, "What? You want to kill me? Don't forget, you are still my beastly husband. If I die, you must die too."
He glanced at the others with a fierce look in his eyes, "And them, die together."
This sentence enlightened everyone.
Although they hated Scarlett, they didn't hate her enough to want to be buried with her.
Besides, they have other ways to kill Scarlett, so there is no need to rush.
Riley held down the back of Chiye's hand, where veins were bulging. "Chiye, don't be rude to His Highness."
Sevilla also said: "Chi, Chiye, you, don't be impulsive."
Scarlett is better now.
Zheke didn't say anything, but his eyes fell on Chiye. His meaning was very clear: don't be impulsive and disrupt their plans.
Scarlett breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that everyone was trying to keep the peace. Her tone softened, "As the princess of the empire, I can't go back on my word. If I say divorce, I will definitely divorce. I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do."
Amitabha, I like to tell little lies sometimes, please forgive me.
The atmosphere gradually eased.
Scarlett continued with the previous topic.
"I'm planning to go to the Lost Continent to level up. Don't worry, you don't have to come with me. I'll hire other males to lead the team."
"I also hope that you will level up more during this period and don't hold me back."
After that, Scarlett didn't ask them for anything, opened the silver dish cover, started eating, and ignored them.
Riley, Chiye and Dzeko secretly exchanged glances.
They all want to participate in the competition for resources.
This is not only about themselves, but also about the families behind them.
The top five families in the annual resource competition will be appreciated by His Majesty.
Commoners can cross class boundaries and enter the imperial city.
Nobles can be granted titles and bring benefits to their descendants.
Last year, they did not participate and were severely criticized by the family elders.
This year.
The opportunity is right in front of you, there is no reason to refuse it.
Sylvia's eyes kept wandering on Scarlett.
He also wants to go to the Lost Continent.
pity.
The rules of the Lost Continent are quite special. If a male is not accompanied by a female, he can only enter alone, and he needs to pay.
He has no money.
So this year, he had no chance to go, causing his ability to remain at one star.
If I could be with Scarlett...
Riley and the others thought more deeply.
I care more about whether Scarlett will die if she goes to the Lost Continent.
Scarlett's level is ridiculously low and she doesn't even have the ability to protect herself.
The Lost Continent is full of unknown dangers. No one has yet fully explored it, and some people are buried there forever.
It is easy for males to lose themselves in it and suffer a mental breakdown. By then, Scarlett won’t even know how she died.
The same thing.
They didn't want to be buried with Scarlett.
After confirming each other's thoughts, Riley looked at Scarlett and said, "Your Highness, as your beast husbands, we have an obligation to protect your safety."
"So, you want to go with me?" Scarlett took the initiative.
"yes."
Riley nodded, lowering his eyes, and was extremely gentle.
"What about them?" Scarlett looked at the other three.
Chiye sneered.
Dzeko snorted coldly.
The two turned their heads away, feeling annoyed to look at Scarlett any more.
Only Sevilla said cheerfully, "I do."
Scarlett raised her eyebrows quietly after her plan succeeded, and said magnanimously, "Alright. Since you insist on following me, I have no reason to refuse. After all, we've been husband and wife for a year and know each other well."
Hearing this.
Chiye and Zheke rolled their eyes in their hearts and tried hard to suppress the urge to curse.
Husband and wife? What kind of husband and wife are they?
Sylvia glanced at Scarlett with a strange look in her eyes, and her ears turned slightly red.
Riley picked up his chopsticks and asked casually between bites, "Your Highness, why did you suddenly want to participate in the resource competition?"
Riley comes from a noble family and is a man of great thoughtfulness.
Seeing Scarlett's recent changes, the seeds of suspicion were planted in my heart.
Be very defensive.
I won't let Scarlett lead the way easily.
You must know the ins and outs.
Scarlett picked up a piece of beef, put it in her mouth and chewed it vigorously, telling a lie easily: "Last year, Sofia took first place! She got the Queen Mother's approval and beat me. This year, I want to take first place and beat her too."
Because of this?
Riley twitched the corner of his mouth, but there was still doubt in his eyes.
Dzeko glanced at Scarlett with a half-smile, "Your Highness, you are too modest."
Whether Princess Sofia wins first place or not, her status is higher than yours.
Chiye added, "You're too confident."
In the competition for resources, the key to victory lies in the females, and subsequent mental comfort is essential.
They're lucky to be in the top five.
Scarlett, of course, understood their compliments and sarcasm. She glared at them and said coldly, "If you talk back to the mistress and are sarcastic to her, your living allowance for this month will be cut in half!"
Chiye chuckled indifferently and asked, "When will we get living expenses?"
If they hadn't used extraordinary means to make extra money this year, they would have starved to death eight hundred years ago.
Scarlett opened her computer and saw that she had never received any living expenses.
How did they survive this year?
What a sin.
Some people drink so much that they become as thin as telephone poles.
Some people drink the northwest wind and drink until they open the double door.
It is true that the local feng shui nourishes the local people.
Scarlett was not stingy either. She put down her chopsticks and transferred money one by one in front of everyone, asking as she did so: "Now that you have it, are you happy?"
Riley fifty thousand.
Seville 50,000.
Dzeko is 25,000.
Twenty thousand people are on the move.
Their wristbands began to sound transfer alerts one after another.
Riley still maintained a faint smile, but his eyes frequently fell on Scarlett's eyebrows.
Sevilla was ecstatic. She turned on the computer and confirmed it three times. She was so excited that she almost cried.
Dzeko raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised, but he remained aloof.
Chi Ye listened to the amount and smiled sinisterly, "Happy, very happy!"
Scarlett looked at him, her petal-like lips blooming into a smile, her beautiful face instantly like a rose in midsummer, strong and beautiful, dazzling the eyes, "As long as you are happy."
Chiye was startled.
His brows suddenly frowned, and his handsome face turned fierce. He glared at Scarlett without saying a word.
He stood up and went back to his room without eating.
Scarlett felt that Chiye was a little baffling and didn't bother to care about him.
The most important thing for her now is leveling up.
She made an agreement with everyone to go to the Lost Continent tomorrow.
Riley cleared his throat and warned, "Your Highness, once we enter the Lost Continent, we might need to stay there for more than three to five days. Just in case, we need to prepare daily necessities and medicines in advance."
Scarlett thought the same and set the date for two days later.
She just happened to learn the relevant knowledge.
Leveling is important.
Life is more important!
