Crossing the stars, I live-streamed my cultivation in kindergarten

Chapter 457 Interstellar Supreme Court 7
Every orc brought up recounted the harm they had inflicted on Jiang Yuxi.

What grudge could this be?

Is this a comprehensive encirclement strategy? Is the aim to suppress someone in every aspect—their studies, life, physical health, and mindset? And ultimately, to ruin their future and take their life?

[As expected of an heir raised in a prominent family, his actions are indeed meticulous.]

That's ruthless!

As the merman king listened to the beastmen's detailed account, he could imagine how suffocating his sister must have felt living under such conditions.

He barely managed to suppress the anger surging within him, telling himself it wasn't time yet, to wait a little longer...

Shi Yuejin remained silent, the Mermaid King's face was extremely pale, and finally Leviathan, who had been playing a supporting role the whole time, cautiously stepped forward and asked as usual, "Does the Aksu family have any objections to the evidence submitted by Frederick?"

Christine's face contorted with rage: "I object! It's clearly Jiang Yuxi who deserves to die..."

The Aksu family patriarch seemed to have aged a few more years. "The Aksu family has no objection; this evidence is all true. It is the Aksu family's failure to properly educate their daughter that led Christine to commit such a cruel act against her classmate..."

"It's because I couldn't recognize her that I didn't realize Elena was a member of the Rebel Alliance..."

He would not plead guilty if there were even the slightest chance to change his mind.

But now, in front of the entire interstellar community, in front of the three leaders of the interstellar community, the evidence is irrefutable, and he has nothing to refute.

The only hope now is that the three leaders will allow Christine to retain some semblance of dignity, given the Aksu family's good attitude in admitting their guilt.

However, Christine didn't understand her father's good intentions at all. "Father, what are you saying! I did nothing wrong! Mother is not a member of any rebel alliance! If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a reason! They must have done this to frame Mother!"

"I understand now. Is it because you're afraid of that bastard Jiang Yuxi that you confessed? But I'm not afraid, and I will never confess!"

"Jiang Yuxi, I will kill you. I am my mother's only child..."

The Aksu chieftain's aging is becoming more apparent.

"Honorable three judges, it was all my fault. I am willing to offer the following compensation to Lady Jiang Yuxi… I hope that Lady Jiang Yuxi, considering the Aksu family's sincere remorse, will forgive Christine's mistake. As for Lady Elena…", the Aksu patriarch paused, "her crimes are unforgivable, she shall be punished as you see fit…"

Is this a move to abandon Lady Elena and save Miss Christine?

Two-thirds of the Aksu family's wealth? That's quite a sum.

I almost wanted to agree on behalf of the little female.

The crimes committed by Lady Elena and Miss Christine would be capital offenses for males, but they are both precious females, top-tier A-rank females, one in a million. Their worst fate would be life imprisonment, performing mental purification and reproduction for male orcs.

Even with life imprisonment, high-ranking females still enjoy some of the same benefits as ordinary civilians.

Before Chief Aksu could finish speaking, the masked male spoke up decisively: "Even without this interstellar supreme court hearing, according to imperial law, Elena and Christine would still be punished. Even noble, high-ranking females have no chance of escaping!"

His attitude was very clear.

The Aksu family wants to protect Christine? No way.

It was this attitude that angered the Aksu chieftain.

Hilcher is of noble status and is not someone the Aksu family can afford to offend;

That Principal Aye is suspected to be a level 13 powerhouse, and he even has the ability to use the power of the Interstellar Supreme Court, which is the true top power in the interstellar world, to his advantage. Although the Aksu family cannot find out his identity, it must be extraordinary. Moreover, the Aksu family is in the wrong now, so they have no choice but to lower themselves and seek peace.

This is also one of the reasons why he was willing to give up almost two-thirds of the Aksu family's wealth in exchange for Jiang Yuxi's forgiveness of Christine.

As a superior female, Christine's only punishment for making mistakes is to enter the female prison and be imprisoned for life.

If Jiang Yuxi's understanding can be obtained, with a little maneuvering, the place of life imprisonment can be changed from the female prison to the Aksu family.

Within his own family, how things are handled is entirely up to him.

He was confident that with such a vast fortune, all that was needed was a letter of understanding, and no beast would object.

But this beastman in front of her is just Jiang Yuxi's poor fiancé in the countryside. What right does he have to spout nonsense here?

They didn't even dare to take off their masks, simply because they were afraid of revealing their true identities and facing retaliation from all the nobles involved in the incident.

"You absurd brat! Do you even know the compensation my Aksu family has paid? It's something you couldn't even achieve in ten lifetimes of effort, yet you dare to speak so arrogantly..."

The Aksu chieftain's anger was directed at Jiang Yuxi, his "childhood sweetheart from a poor, remote area."

[Such a quick change of expression!]

【Scared me! 】

[Here it comes! The aristocratic, ancestral face-changing technique—it may be late, but it's always here.]

[Did the young female's fiancé overstep his bounds?]

[Anyway, even if she doesn't forgive, Christine won't be in any trouble. She'll still be well-fed and pampered in the female prison. She'll just need to be given more male companionship to help her mental energy be purified.]

In conclusion, acquiring the Aksu family's wealth with just a letter of understanding is an incredibly lucrative deal.

[The little female's fiancé is still short-sighted. As expected of a beastman from a small planet, his pride is sky-high. He has no idea that with such a fortune, he can completely transform them.]

No matter what he said, Jiang Yuxi's "poor fiancé" remained unmoved.

Chief Aksu wanted the "knowledgeable" orcs to make the decision, and he set his sights on Frederick.

“Sorry, my Xixi doesn’t care about the Aksu family’s paltry assets,” Frederick said casually, sitting with a relaxed posture. “Even if the Aksu family had shrunk by more than half, all the assets of the Aksu family at its peak wouldn’t be worth a single hair on my Xixi’s head!”

Jiang Yuxi remained expressionless, but a voice inside her was frantically shaking her head: Even a single hair on their head is worth something. The Aksu family is a vast and incredibly wealthy clan. The Liu family, sent recently to "expand their territory," has already earned more by simply following other families and taking advantage of the chaos than all the wealth they previously "tribute." Truly a family of the Imperial Star; even a tiny bit of their wealth is equivalent to the total assets of many families on other planets.

If they hadn't killed the original owner of this body, she almost would have agreed not to pursue the matter. In any case, Christine's methods couldn't harm her in the slightest; on the contrary, she reaped the consequences of her own actions.

Hilcher flatly refused: "Chief Aksu, I think you've misunderstood something. Miss Christine caused harm to Lady Jiang Yuxi, and as her father and chief, your compensation represents the Aksu family's apology. This cannot be confused with the crimes committed by Lady Elena and Miss Christine. According to the Interstellar Law, both Lady Elena and Miss Christine should be punished accordingly."

Hilcher's meaning was clear: compensation was due, but there was no way he could escape punishment.

Jiang Yuxi silently gave Hilcher a thumbs up in her heart. Only Hilcher could speak so logically and forcefully.

Anyway, they want both, so it's time for her to make her appearance.

It's only satisfying to take revenge yourself.

The final blow is only meaningful when you stab yourself with your own hands.

But before that, Jiang Yuxi glared at the Mermaid King on the high platform with her bright blue eyes.

The other party awkwardly and hastily retracted a statement.

"Mistakes must be punished, but there's been some misunderstanding between Christine and me. Before Miss Christine goes to the female prison to be punished, I feel it's necessary for you to know," Jiang Yuxi grinned, "I'm not Lady Elena's biological offspring; I'm just a tool she adopted to complete missions within the Rebel Alliance. She only uses me, without a shred of affection. So..." Christine, you've been used by your most beloved mother.

Although she hadn't finished speaking, Christine clearly understood what Jiang Yuxi meant.

She's not stupid; there are many things laid out in front of her, but she's letting her emotions cloud her judgment.

Seeing her instantly become listless, Jiang Yuxi curled the corners of her lips and said in a seemingly innocent manner, "By the way, Miss Christine, you don't seem to believe that Mrs. Elena is an important member of the Rebel Alliance? Please don't worry, Mrs. Elena will also appear in a while, and you can catch up, since you may really not have many chances to meet again in the future."

Letting your enemy die a quick and painless death is not revenge, but rather giving someone a sense of satisfaction.

To kill someone is to destroy their spirit.

No matter what others said, Christine didn't believe it. But when Jiang Yuxi said the same words in a calm tone, Christine felt as if it were a final judgment.

Upon learning the truth, Christine seemed somewhat distraught.

Without her hysterical screams, the entire space fell silent.

Leviathan, the backdrop figure, looked around and asked again as usual, "Based on the witness testimonies and physical evidence provided by Lady Jiang Yuxi, it can be proven that Lady Jiang Yuxi was repeatedly bullied by the teacher-student group led by Christine during her studies at the Imperial Comprehensive University. According to Article 41 of the Interstellar Law..."

Leviathan announced the punishments each orc would have to endure, "...That's all. Does anyone have any objections?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I clearly showed remorse and a good attitude. Shouldn't my sentence be reduced?"

"I wasn't the mastermind, so why did I have to serve on the front lines for so many years?"

"Please, Jiang Yuxi, forgive me. I was forced into this. Have you forgotten how I helped you when we lived together? I helped you fetch water, did your chores, and even helped you with your group assignments."

Jiang Yuxi nodded: "Yes, I remember it very clearly. You helped me fetch water, and then pretended to fall and spill the boiling water all over me; you helped me with my cleaning duty, but after I finished, you scattered even more trash in the area I was responsible for; for the final group assignment, I really want to thank you, if it weren't for your interference, I almost got a perfect score... Can you remember anything else you've helped me with?"

The roommate and classmate who said this fell silent.

Wow, they actually expect to repay such a kind of ingenious help?

When she first started speaking, I almost thought she genuinely had a reason for bullying Jiang Yuxi, that Christine was forcibly taking advantage of her.

You can know a beast's face, but not its heart.

[A perfect score? A perfect score in the Imperial Comprehensive Examination is comparable to the orcs' stable mental strength during a riot, and this little female almost got a perfect score? What a genius!]

For these orcs, the question "Any objections?" was just a formality. Even their families and relatives had abandoned them, so who would stand up for them and offend an orc they shouldn't?
The world of the aristocracy is that simple and cruel.

Leviathan ignored the orcs who were crying out for justice and declared, "The above orcs are guilty of crimes and shall be executed immediately..."

Chief Aksu interrupted loudly, "President Leviathan, our Christine is still a mere child who has just come of age. The wrongdoings she committed were all due to Elena's guidance. Isn't this punishment too severe? Moreover, the Aksu family is actively seeking Her Excellency Jiang Yuxi's forgiveness..."

A life sentence in a female prison, with no possibility of leaving or seeing family...

This is worse than Christine dying.

He absolutely could not let Christine fall to such a state.

The Aksu chieftain turned his gaze to Jiang Yuxi, "Your Excellency Jiang Yuxi, if that compensation isn't enough to appease you, I can also..."

“I’m sorry, I think you haven’t grasped the situation,” Jiang Yuxi said with a smile that carried a hint of danger. “Hilcher’s meaning is my meaning.”

"I want the wealth of the Aksu family."

“Christine, I want her to be punished too.”

“As for you and the Aksu family behind you, if you want revenge,” Jiang Yuxi looked at him intently, “please, do, go ahead.”

My heart is pounding! I was actually charmed by a little female.

That's outrageous! Miss Christine is a high-ranking female, after all.

[Something's not right with you upstairs? You're actually speaking up for the perpetrator?]

Frederick gave Leviathan a displeased look.

Slow and inefficient; can't even make such a small announcement properly?

Leviathan shuddered at the sight. "The above orcs are found guilty of their crimes. Execution is to be carried out immediately, effective immediately!"

He finished speaking as quickly as possible, afraid that another beast might interrupt him.

The outcome was decided; the perpetrators, except for Christine, were taken away crying and sobbing.

Christine was supposed to be taken away too, but Jiang Yuxi just said, "Lady Elena will be here soon, so you can catch up." The sensible sea beastman immediately kept Christine behind and physically silenced her with a gag.

Chief Aksu had no other choice but to look at his own beast cub and gaze intently at Jiang Yuxi...
