"Lan Jie! If this continues, none of the sisters can take it anymore!"
The woman stormed into Yan Lan's room in a frenzy.
But what she saw left her in disbelief! Shen Chuchu and Yan Lan were having lunch together! Unlike the plain broth and vegetables the other sisters were enduring.
On their table!
There was sea cucumber chicken soup, crispy roast duck, steamed crucian carp, fruit salad...
She could hardly believe her eyes:
"Lan Jie! Chu Chu! You two..."
Shen Chuchu slightly furrowed her brows: "What's the matter?"
Yet, without a trace of movement, she activated her "Illusion" ability.
Transforming all the delicacies on the table.
Into dried radish, pickles, cabbage tofu soup...
The woman was stunned, doubting her own eyes, and rubbed them vigorously: "No! Where did the roast chicken go?"
Yan Lan said angrily:
"Are you hallucinating from hunger?"
"What roast chicken? All I see is a clumsy hen!"
"Speak! What are you barging in for?"
Unfortunately.
The woman wasn't buying it.
She stared straight at Yan Lan:
"Lan Jie, save it!"
"Once or twice is one thing!"
"But it can't always be hallucinations, can it!"
That's right!
The women had noticed Shen Chuchu and Yan Lan secretly enjoying better meals! And it wasn't the first time!
However, such scenes always vanished in an instant! Afterward, Yan Lan and the others would dismiss it as an illusion!
But this time! The woman wouldn't believe it anymore!
They must be using some trickery!
Even if it were just cabbage tofu soup now!
It was still a thousand times better than the swill they were drinking! She then angrily said:
"Lan Jie!"
"The sisters are outside drinking swill to fill their stomachs, and they can't even get enough!"
"And you two are here feasting on lavish meals?"
"How can you do this?!"
Hearing this.
Shen Chuchu decided to drop the act.
She dispelled the illusion.
Revealing the table full of delicacies in their true form! Along with the aroma, which seemed to amplify countless times! This tantalizing sight made the woman involuntarily swallow hard!
Shen Chuchu glanced at her disdainfully, taking another bite of fruit.
She said calmly:
"What are you making such a fuss about? Lan Jie and I are the core figures of the Queen's Hall, so naturally, resources are prioritized for us!"
"Should we starve just so you can eat your fill?"
Yan Lan remained silent, her gaze icy.
And the woman's eyes were now fixated on the roast chicken! She could see nothing else!
She unconsciously took a step closer to the table, swallowing another gulp of saliva, muttering: "No! No matter what, this isn't right!"
"Lan Jie! You wouldn't want the sisters to know that you and Chu Chu are living so luxuriously, would you?"
"If they found out, they wouldn't be happy!"
"Even worse, they might rebel!"
...
Shen Chuchu fell silent.
Yan Lan coldly asked: "What do you want?"
The woman's eyes gradually turned red:
"I want to become a core figure of the Queen's Hall too! I want to eat like you, every meal!"
"Oh?"
Shen Chuchu looked at her, a smirk curling her lips: "And what makes you think you deserve that?"
The woman licked her lips and said:
"Because of my loyalty to the Queen's Hall!"
"And! I can keep the women below in check!"
"Make them obediently drink the swill, without a single complaint from now on!"
Hearing this.
Yan Lan spoke in a low voice, "Alright, come over and eat."
Shen Chuchu thoughtfully made room for her.
"Thank you, Lan Jie!"
The woman eagerly walked over, her eyes gleaming as she reached out for the crispy roast duck!
But at that moment!
Yan Lan's gaze turned fierce, and she struck out with her palm towards the woman! "Ah?!"
The woman immediately fell to the ground!
Her eyes snapped out of their daze, filled with terror as she stammered, "Lan Jie! No! I was wrong... I was wrong..."
Unfortunately.
She couldn't even finish her sentence.
She felt her entire body go limp! Even her bones seemed to turn to mush! Not only could she not stand up!
She couldn't even speak!
She lay sprawled on the ground, wriggling like a snail! Yan Lan coldly said, "If it weren't for me creating the Queen's Hall, you would have long since frozen or starved to death, or been captured and toyed with by those men until you died!"
"And yet, not only are you ungrateful, you dare to threaten me?"
"Without me, you wouldn't even get to drink spoiled water!"
The woman was so frightened that tears streamed down her face!
But like someone completely paralyzed, she couldn't move!
She could only blink desperately!
Shen Chuchu sighed and advised, "Lan Jie, calm down. These people are ignorant, let them fend for themselves!"
"After all, the Ding sisters have already come out of seclusion."
"We won't need these useless ingrates anymore!"
Yan Lan snorted coldly:
"Those women may be useless, but we can't discard them yet! We still need them to build up the Queen's Hall's reputation!"
"Fine! Let's improve their meals and keep them pacified!"
After saying that.
She glanced at the table—where the duck bones from their crispy roast duck meal lay.
And said:
"Later, take these duck bones and make a pot of duck soup for them! That should suffice, right?"
Shen Chuchu said, "That's already a favor to them!"
Then.
Yan Lan's gaze locked onto the woman on the ground, and she spoke icily, "Xin Rou!"
In the next moment! A beautiful woman with vacant eyes walked in from the door.
Yan Lan said, "Deal with this woman!"
"Yes!"
The woman named "Xin Rou" grabbed the woman on the ground and dragged her into the kitchen...
Soon after.
The sound of chopping meat came from within.
Not long after.
Xin Rou walked out of the kitchen.
Her fair face was stained with a few drops of crimson blood.
Yan Lan approached, gently wiping it away for her, her voice soft and alluring, "Xin Rou, you're so beautiful! Even more beautiful than Leng Wei!"
"Especially because you're more loyal than her, never questioning any of my decisions!"
"Even! You don't have your own thoughts, you just execute!"
"Like a machine!"
"And that!"
"Is exactly what I need!"
"Now! I have a task for you!"
In an instant, Yan Lan's eyes turned fierce again:
"Go to Happiness Residential Complex, kill Lin Lang, and bring back that traitor Leng Wei!"
Hearing this!
Shen Chuchu quickly interjected, "Lan Jie! Killing that scumbag Lin Lang is too easy on him! Instead, have Xin Rou kill Leng Wei and bring Lin Lang back!"
Yan Lan frowned slightly:
"Then bring both back!"
"Yes!"
The woman named "Xin Rou" nodded mechanically.
Afterwards.
They walked out the door.
...
After Xinrou left, Shen Chuchu saw the feast on the table but had no appetite.
She asked with slight unease, "Lan Jie, Xinrou is so beautiful. Could she also be deceived by Lin Lang?"
Yan Lan smiled slightly, exuding confidence, "Don't worry! The probability of Xinrou being deceived by Lin Lang is even lower than mine!"
"You shouldn't see her as a person, but as an emotionless machine!"
"Right now, the remote control of this machine is in our hands!"
"What is there to worry about?"
Both of them turned their gaze towards the depths of the room! There was a small
door there.
Inside the door.
Was a huge fish tank!
The tank contained a light blue liquid, and within it, a naked woman was submerged!
She looked exactly like Xinrou who had just walked out! She seemed to be in a deep sleep.
