Stunningly beautiful yet wicked, she begins by conquering eight beast husbands.

Chapter 121 Snow Beetle

Scarlett thought about it carefully.

Mo Ting is a ten-star danger level; do not get close.

Riley is sometimes very good, sometimes unpredictable, and has a danger rating of seven stars.

Zheke.

The most innocent and harmless of the three.

Quiet, capable, and with no flaws other than being cold.

He and Mo Ting are both SS-level, making them evenly matched.

Scarlett nodded silently; her next target for winning over was Zheko.

"Hi."

Scarlett mustered her courage and went up to say hello.

Riley bowed with his eyes lowered, "Your Highness."

Zheko bowed his head as well, "Your Highness."

Mo Ting glanced at Scarlett silently. "Your Highness."

If Scarlett wasn't mistaken, Mo Ting's voice was squeezed out from between his teeth, making one's teeth ache.

Scarlett ignored the chilling commotion and said with a smile, "There are four more people to the south, quite far from us. Let's find the gems and meet up with them."

Everyone was originally near her, but Brian flew her a bit too far, and their positions became completely messed up.

They are thousands of kilometers apart.

On the desolate planet, flying devices cannot be used; one must rely entirely on walking.

Scarlett's suggestion was good, and everyone agreed.

Gems appear randomly upon completion of a level; there are no special conditions, but they can be quite troublesome to find.

Everything around us was white; if you stared at it for too long, you could easily get burned by the snow.

Fortunately, Scarlett was prepared.

They took out sunglasses to prevent snow blindness from the space, gave each person a pair, put them on, and continued on their way.

Scarlett deliberately lagged a few steps behind, walking beside Zheko.

Brian, seeing this, also fell a few steps behind and walked beside her to protect her.

Zheko unknowingly became the dividing line between the four of them.

On the left are Moting and Riley.

On the right are Scarlett and Brian.

The atmosphere wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either; everything seemed calm and peaceful.

After walking for about ten minutes, Scarlett pushed up her sunglasses, which had slipped off her nose. "Are we the only ones on this planet?"

More than 3,000 families participated in the competition.

The first phase involved thirty-two desolate planets, but after traveling for so long, she hadn't seen anyone else. Even if the portals were randomly set up, they wouldn't be so lucky as to have a planet all to themselves.

Riley said, "They've hidden themselves."

"Hide it?" Scarlett was taken aback.

Riley explained, “Your Highness, the ratio of participants from the celestial world to the underworld is 1 to 10. Most of them are civilians. They don’t have many resources, and most of them seek stability and will not easily show themselves to us.”

As for why they should avoid them...

The answer is obvious.

Fear of being killed.

There are no rules in the competition for resources; any means are permitted.

The nobles viewed commoners as ants, toying with them at will, and would never let them go if they saw them.

The fewer people there are, the greater their chances of passing the level.

Scarlett hummed in agreement, then asked, "Don't people from the celestial world live on this planet?"

At this time.

Mo Ting twitched the corner of his mouth slightly. "Yes."

He looked at Scarlett with a strange smile, "But they're all afraid of you, and they've hidden themselves away."

"fear me?"

Scarlett pointed to herself with a look of astonishment.

"The infamous and vicious female Scarlett O'Hara—whoever runs into her is doomed. Aren't they afraid?"

Mo Ting's voice was beautiful, like a steady cello playing a magnificent melody, but his words were terribly unpleasant, full of sarcasm.

If she weren't outmatched, Scarlett would have loved to shove his head into the snow and rub it against him!

She gritted her teeth and forced herself to endure it.

Safety is not guaranteed right now, so we can't act recklessly.

Scarlett calmed herself down, faced Mo Ting, smiled brightly, and said gently, "That's true."

Mo Ting was taken aback, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Scarlett isn't angry?

Zheko, being close to Scarlett, saw her puffed-out cheeks and knew that the smile was not genuine and was forced. He comforted her, "Your Highness, Mo Ting is just joking with you. You are the Imperial Princess, His Majesty's only daughter, with a noble status. They wouldn't dare to lay a hand on you if they encountered you, so why would they show themselves? You agree, don't you?"

This statement makes much more sense than the previous one. Scarlett felt a warmth in her heart after hearing it and quickly nodded, "Yes." Scarlett was good at comforting herself.

Now that someone is comforting her, she is recovering faster.

Within seconds, he regained his previous energetic self and continued walking.

……

……

The desolate planet A9 has a 99% snow and ice coverage, with thick snow layers, majestic snow-capped mountains, and frozen lakes filling this desolate planet.

Apart from the sky and the lake being blue, everything else was a hazy white expanse, dazzling to the eye.

It's not only cold here, but also very dry. The wind is sharper than a knife; when it hits your face, your skin feels like it's about to crack, and it hurts more and more as you walk.

Scarlett took out a protective face shield and put it on.

I sent them one each.

The rings didn't show a time, so they didn't know how long they had been walking.

There is always an inextinguishable light overhead, and in front of you are endless snow-capped mountains and rugged roads that stretch as far as the eye can see.

Most importantly, Scarlett didn't find a single gem or see a stranger.

It was as if the five of them were the only ones left in the world, wandering aimlessly in a spotless realm.

Boundless loneliness and fear came crashing down, enveloping Scarlett completely.

It is false to say that I am not afraid.

If it weren't for the fact that the light spots on the screen could move and slowly approach, Scarlett would have truly felt like she was trapped in a loop.

Scarlett was tired and wanted to sit down and rest, and take a look at the others.

Everyone was wearing masks and sunglasses, so we couldn't see their expressions and didn't know if they were tired.

Before coming in, she said she would do her best and never hold them back. They didn't complain about being tired, and she was too lazy to stop, so she gritted her teeth and kept going.

The waterproof boots crunched as they stepped into the snow. With each step, Scarlett felt as if a pair of hands were pulling on her ankles, preventing her from lifting them.

This caused her steps to become increasingly heavy.

Scarlett was exhausted, but she didn't let her guard down for a second. When she felt a pulling sensation in her ankle again, she quickly grabbed a stick knife, held it in her hand, and plunged it into the snow.

A muffled groan startled Scarlett, causing her brow to furrow.

Are there people beneath my feet?

She pulled out the stick knife and saw that half of the blade was stained with blood.

The smell of blood was brought out.

Even if diluted by ice and snow, it still cannot escape the orcs' noses.

Everyone stopped.

They worked together seamlessly without saying a word.

Zheko squatted down where he was bleeding, stretched out his long arm and completely disappeared into the snow. When he pulled it out, there was a creature that looked neither human nor inhuman in his hand.

It has human facial features, but its skin is covered with a thin layer of brown fur. It is sallow and thin, with a blue shell on its back and a long blue tail behind it.

Seeing that it had been captured, it opened its mouth to cry out.

Riley's expression hardened, and he threw a mute device over its mouth to stop it from making a sound.

Scarlett hid behind Brian and whispered, "Is it a turtle or a monkey? It looks like a combination of the two."

"neither."

Riley said, "It's a snow beetle."

"insect?"

Scarlett stared at the snow beetle, which was half her height, and was a little confused. In her mind, shouldn't insects be very small?

Before she could ask any more questions.

Riley suddenly shouted, "Oh no! Snow beetles are appearing in swarms, at least a hundred of them, making a huge commotion. We have to leave immediately!"

He finished speaking.

A huge crack appeared beneath Scarlett's feet, and a pair of bloody hands emerged, grabbing her ankles and pulling her down.

Scarlett gripped the staff horizontally and slashed at the bloody hands.

however.

She cut off one pair, and there was another pair—no, not just one pair, but countless pairs.

Countless thin, yellow hands appeared at the edge of the crevice. With a forceful pull, the ice layer formed from snow vanished completely, and Scarlett disappeared as well.

All that remained was a chilling ice cave that met everyone's eyes.

Without hesitation, Mo Ting jumped in!

Seeing the negative reviews, and so many of them, made me a bit stressed. I felt like my writing was terrible, and I originally planned to take a day off to regroup. But then I saw the positive reviews and everyone's encouragement, and my confidence returned. I'll keep writing without taking a break.

So it's even later today.
