Chapter 42: Bullying Her is Bullying Me
“However, how did I hear that the royal family hasn’t produced a single capable person in years? That you’ve all been relying entirely on the divine might of General Aslan just to survive until now.
Now that the God of War has fallen, the borders are in turmoil, and the enemy’s morale is surging, the Princess doesn’t stay back to guard her few acres of royal land. Be careful someone doesn’t steal your home while you’re out here throwing your weight around!”
“Insolent!”
Catherine had never been provoked like this before. Furious, she directly activated her pheromones.
However, the female opposite her was also S-grade and completely unaffected by her attack.
“Who are you?”
Yue Ling curled her lips. “I am Yue Ling, from Planet Yuehui.”
Yue Ling?!
Hearing this, Catherine’s heart jolted.
Was she the Eldest Miss of the Yue family, the family that practically ruled the entire Yuehui Star System? Her family was an entity that the entire interstellar realm couldn’t afford to provoke, especially… her brother.
Su Miantang had only been on Lan Huan Island for a few short hours. How could she have met such a powerful figure? And one who was willing to stand up for her?
“The matter between Su Miantang and me has nothing to do with you. I advise you not to stick your nose in other people’s business.”
“How does it have nothing to do with me?”
Yue Ling pulled Su Miantang over and wrapped an arm around her in a completely protective posture.
“Miantang is my good friend. Whoever dares to bully her is bullying me!”
In the future, she might even be her good sister-in-law.
Of course, she had to protect her family!
“Since when did you become friends?”
“Just now.”
“You…”
Catherine glared at her, daring to be angry but not daring to speak. She had no choice but to transfer all her resentment onto Su Miantang, wishing she could pull out her tendons and skin her alive!
She was born with such a foxy, seductive skin bag that not only could she bewitch males, but she wouldn’t even let females off the hook!
“Miantang, don’t be afraid. She can’t do anything to us. If she dares to touch a single hair on your head, I’ll have my brother overturn her entire Imperial City!”
Yue Ling leaned in close to her ear to comfort her, but unexpectedly caught a whiff of a faint fragrance.
Miantang smells so good!
It’s like the scent of flowers and grass, much better than my carrot smell~
“Mhm.”
Su Miantang lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a shadow.
So she was the Eldest Princess of the Empire, the one who had forced Fred and Enzo into estrus in broad daylight and made them suffer so much?
“You’ve only just met her, so you have absolutely no idea how vile and lewd her nature is. Relying on her seductive foxy face to seduce my male concubines…”
She seems to care a lot about her appearance?
From the moment she entered the room, she hadn’t stopped staring, and now even her verbal attacks were pointed entirely in that direction.
“I did not.”
Su Miantang spoke up.
Catherine: “Save your sophistry!”
Just when everyone thought she was going to explain herself, she unexpectedly blurted out, “I’m not as pretty as you, how could I seduce your male concubines?”
“…”
As her words fell, the Spiritual Cultivation Hall suddenly descended into silence.
Everyone looked at her in doubt, especially Yue Ling.
Miantang, what are you saying? You are a thousand, a ten thousand times prettier than her! She couldn’t even compare to a single strand of your hair! Are all fairy sisters this oblivious to their own beauty?
Catherine was instantly choked up too.
It felt as though she had slapped someone twice, only to be fed a piece of candy in return.
She was of noble birth and beautiful, long since immune to the praises of those around her, but… this was the first time she had been praised by a female more beautiful than herself. The feeling was entirely different.
But soon, she snapped back to reality.
How was Su Miantang praising her? This was clearly a humiliation, because someone was already secretly laughing.
“You’re saying I’m prettier than you?”
“Yes, your monolids are very unique—sharp when looking up, and aloof when looking down. It gives you the natural aura of a supermodel.”
Of course!
Catherine proudly raised the corners of her eyes.
“Your dorsal hump nose is also perfectly proportioned. Usually, someone without a grand facial structure or deep-set features couldn’t pull it off, but you don’t have that problem at all.”
She had inherited this from her mother, the Queen.
Naturally blessed!
“But my favorite is your skin. Light brown, possessing a healthy and wild beauty.”
“Hahahaha!”
As this sentence fell, everyone around burst into laughter. Catherine instantly became furious beyond belief. She really was humiliating her!
“Su Miantang, you bitch! You actually dare to rely on the fact that you’re pale to insult me!”
From childhood to adulthood, what she hated most was her brown skin. She had searched the world for treasures and gone through unimaginable hardships just to become a little whiter, to no avail. Let alone achieving jade-like, icy skin as smooth as congealed fat like Su Miantang’s—she wouldn’t even dare dream of it!
And she actually dared to expose her scars in public and embarrass her. Watch how she’d kill her!
She opened her hands, ready to activate her pheromones.
Su Miantang, however, let out a long ‘Oh’.
So this was her weakness.
After praising her for so long, the only thing she genuinely admired was her skin tone. She didn’t expect that to be the very thing Catherine hated most. Human aesthetics truly were subjective.
“Or is it that you prefer pale skin?”
Nonsense!
Who doesn’t like pale skin?
The fairies in the paintings are all exactly like her, with skin as white as snow!
She dreams of having it!
“Then I can help you.”
“What?” Catherine, halfway through driving her pheromones, suddenly stopped, as if doubting her own ears. “You… help me?”
“That’s right.”
Su Miantang took out a Phoenix Tail flower badge from her pocket.
“I am a researcher at the Imperial National Academy of Sciences. Recently, I’ve been researching products related to female beauty and skincare. Among them is one called Whitening Dew, which is highly effective.”
To make her believe it, she even threw dirty water on herself.
“The reason my skin is so pale is because I persistently use it. Do you want to try?”
Really?
Catherine was in disbelief.
She snatched the Phoenix Tail flower badge from her hand and scanned it on the mechanical soldier’s screen. It immediately displayed all of Su Miantang’s information within the National Academy of Sciences.
[Su Miantang. Researcher in the Pharmacognosy Department. The only female in the Academy. Holds a pink badge.]
It was actually true?
“Wow—” Yue Ling was also amazed. “Miantang, you’re actually a scientist? That’s too amazing, isn’t it?”
She instantly morphed into a little fangirl.
She was an even better match for her brother now!
She was definitely securing this sister-in-law!
A faint light also emerged in the depths of Catherine’s eyes.
Could she… really formulate such a magical potion? One that could make her skin as pale as hers? She had searched the entire world for treasures and couldn’t achieve it!
“Can you really help me become white?”
“Absolutely true.”
“Why would you help me?”
“Exactly, Miantang. She’s so mean, don’t help her! With me here, you don’t need to be afraid…”
Yue Ling was just about to stop her when Su Miantang comforted her with a look.
It was fine.
She believed Yue Ling would help her, but she could only help her for a moment, not a lifetime.
Since the Princess could hold a grudge until now and chase her all the way to Lan Huan Island, she definitely wouldn’t let it go when she returned to the Central Star. She might even think of new ways to torture Fred and Enzo.
This issue had to be resolved thoroughly sooner or later.
“There are conditions, of course.”
“After I help you become white, you are no longer allowed to pester Fred and Enzo, and you must also let me go. We wipe the slate clean.”
Catherine curled her lips. “What kind of thing are you? You think you’re worthy to negotiate terms with me?”
“Then forget it.” Su Miantang took back her badge and smiled at her faintly. “Brown-skinned Eldest Princess.”
She deliberately emphasized the words ‘Brown-skinned’, angering Catherine so much she wanted to turn into her beast form and eat someone!
