Chapter 167: Settling Accounts with Tu Shanyi
Unexpectedly, in the end, Sheng Ran and his group were the first to leave the Liuli Palace.
The guests' expressions were all colorful, very different from when they first learned that they could go to Danxue Mountain.
Some people even had the courage to look at Sheng Jieyue with suspicion.
Murmurs were heard among the crowd.
"From ancient times to the present, it has always been the Pei family who first supported the Holy Female, and then the Beast King confirmed the Holy Female's status."
"But now, the Pei family dared to blatantly hand over the token to another useless female. Isn't this a slap in the face of the Holy Female?"
"But the Royal Family is clearly on the side of the Saint Female!"
"That's because the prince is the beastly husband of the Saint Female. The problem now is that the Pei family gave all the tokens to Sheng Ran!"
Sheng Jieyue was furious when she heard such a voice.
With just a glance from her, her lackeys would pledge allegiance to her.
"Oh, that Sheng Ran is just pretending to be nice! Only you fools would be fooled by her disguise!"
"Yeah, even if she goes ahead with the party, there's no one to celebrate with besides her beastly husband. Surely it's better to trade it for a good reputation!"
"Besides, even if her method does work, weren't those Yulan flowers also transported from Yuhua City by order of the Holy Female?"
"The Holy Female is the messenger of the God of Flowers. She personally designated the use of the orchid flower. If it really works, it's her credit. What does it have to do with Sheng Ran?"
"Her sister wants to steal the credit for the Saint Female's work with just a few small contributions. She's truly a vicious person!"
"The same goes for the beastly husbands around her. They must have been fed aphrodisiac juice by her, which is why they are so devoted to such an ugly and vicious useless woman. Even Tu Shanyi, who is now the president of the Jiuyao Chamber of Commerce, is..."
"I think he's just blind for a moment. Once he sees Sheng Ran's appearance clearly, he will definitely pursue Sheng Ran again!"
…
After hearing the satisfactory result, Sheng Jieyue finally curled her lips in relief and took Situ Yu to the compartment.
Now that they were alone in the room, she could finally drop all her disguises.
Sheng Jieyue impatiently pulled off the heavy hairpins and necklaces on her body, and quickly took off the banquet dress that symbolized the white lotus.
"Wearing clothes in this beast world is such a hassle! I'm going to the modern world in my next one!"
Situ Yu snorted coldly: "Want to leave? Then we have to get rid of this annoying thing Sheng Ran as soon as possible! Otherwise, there will be no way to the end, and we will have to stay here forever!"
Situ Yu and Sheng Jieyue have forgotten how many worlds they have experienced together.
Ever since they could remember, they were the chosen male and female protagonists of the quick-travel game, and they needed to get through the endings of each world.
With the halo of the protagonist, all tasks, main lines, and straight lines can be completed easily. They originally had a system, but later they couldn't even use the system.
Just the two of them can dominate the world.
But for some reason, in the recent worlds, they always encounter troublesome cannon fodder like Sheng Ran, who even dares to threaten their status as the protagonist.
Even when Situ Yu recalled Sheng Ran's eyes, they seemed strangely familiar.
He sighed softly and said to Sheng Jieyue, "Don't you think Sheng Ran looks a little different? Her eyes..."
"What's different?" Sheng Jieyue interrupted impatiently, "She's still the same ugly, useless bitch!"
"Seriously, don't you think she looks a lot like the person from the previous life?"
"Perhaps all the annoying cannon fodder in the world have the same face. What's the point of being so entangled? The key point is that we will give her the same ending as the person in her previous life." Sheng Jieyue's tone was full of venom, completely different from her usual gentle demeanor. She even glared at Situ Yu, "You haven't been drugged by some kind of magic potion and are suddenly interested in her, have you?"
Situ Yu's eyebrows jumped, "Me? Compared to me, your recent behavior is really suspicious!"
He scoffed and said, "You're still talking about leaving? You clearly don't want to leave, right? After all, this world is a polyandrous system. You can experience the feeling of being a holy female and be surrounded by countless men. After getting rid of Sheng Ran, do you want to take those beastly husbands of hers into your pocket as well?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Sheng Jieyue was exposed and looked a little embarrassed.
There are indeed many high-quality male beasts in this world of beasts, and she feels itchy just by looking at them.
"Haven't I already declared to everyone that I'll be with you forever, and I'll only marry you as my beastly husband? Aren't you satisfied?" Sheng Jieyue smiled frivolously. "Even if it's necessary for the plot, I'll just make those people... dogs serving me."
For example, Yuan Ziyun, she had kept him for so long, and he usually worked very well with her, but he was not very effective in the few times he met Sheng Ran recently.
Situ Yu obviously didn't believe her words, but now was not the time for internal strife.
Situ Yu lowered his voice and asked, "What should we do next?"
"At the banquet today, Yuan Ziyun mentioned a... fairy lady distributing food in the west of the city." Sheng Jieyue frowned, recalling the past for a moment before finally becoming serious. "Even though I haven't met her, from what the people describe her as, she's beautiful and kind-hearted. Another threat to my reputation as the protagonist."
Sheng Jieyue bit her back teeth fiercely, her tone revealing displeasure.
"But..." She paused deliberately and chuckled, "She is in the west of the city, and Sheng Ran is going to the west of the city too."
"We'll spread rumors that this fairy girl is the legendary Goddess of Flowers, and make the people submit to her. All of Sheng Ran's actions in the west of the city will be hindered. We'll take advantage of the chaos to infect her with the Black Death, without even having to do it ourselves."
"As for this fairy girl... she certainly can't be the Goddess of Flowers. In the end, she was exalted to this position, but she couldn't cure the rampant plague. Naturally, she would be drowned by the spit of the people."
Situ Yu raised his eyebrows, feeling ashamed of himself, "Killing two birds with one stone."
When it comes to dealing with women, he really can't compare to Sheng Jieyue at all. "Then do as you say."
…
Pei Xiaoxing and Tu Shanyi have already mobilized the resources of the Pei family and Jiuyao Chamber of Commerce respectively, and have made arrangements according to Sheng Ran's instructions.
Sheng Ran wanted to go to the west of the city in person to feel at ease, but was stopped by six beastly husbands.
"Wife, today is your birthday. Please let us stay by your side."
Sheng Jieyue had already disrupted their lives for a long time, and for the rest of the time, the beastly husbands hoped that Sheng Ran could temporarily forget about the unhappy things and have a good time together.
"Yes, it's so hard for us to get together like this." This was said by Tu Shanyi.
What he meant by "not yet together" was that he had finally returned to his wife and he needed a grand and warm welcome ceremony.
The other beast husbands curled their lips, really thinking of themselves as important people.
Tu Shanyi looked at Sheng Ran lovingly, "My dear wife...it's been a long time since we last met. I really missed you so much."
When he left, Sheng Ran couldn't even speak. Now she can express herself in front of so many people. It is really a huge improvement.
Tu Shanyi was sincerely happy for his wife.
But his affectionate look did not receive a response from Sheng Ran.
Sheng Ran silently looked away and pulled it out from his palm.
Just now at the banquet, she gave face to Tu Shanyi and didn't say anything.
But now, she pursed her lips slightly, with an unclear emotion in her eyes, and felt that Tu Shanyi should give her an explanation.
He had been lying to her the whole time.
From the first moment they met at Wangchun Teahouse, Tu Shanyi never told her the truth.
It was not until now that Sheng Ran knew that he was the president of the famous Jiuyao Chamber of Commerce.
She had worried about him and cared about him in countless late nights.
Sheng Ran suddenly laughed, her tone very distant, as if she was facing a stranger with no connection to him.
"You lied to me."
"I haven't settled the score with you yet."
