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

Chapter 149 That's great, I don't have to wait for her anymore.

After the opening dance, it was time for solo performances.

Riley and Brian are listed as brothers in the brochure, performing a duet, and their act is seventh on the program.

Scarlett wasn't in a hurry and continued reading.

There were six females at her table, all holding brochures and discussing which male was more attractive.

Riley and Brian discussed it the most.

"Wow, this burgundy-haired male is so handsome, with those bright green eyes that are making my heart pound. I'm definitely going to buy him later!"

“His younger brother is also good-looking, with those captivating phoenix eyes. If you choose the older brother, then I’ll choose the younger brother.”

"Hey, hey, hey, you two have both made your choices, what do we choose?"

"It's okay, we're not choosing a husband. If you like, I'll give it to you in two months."

"Exactly, it's just a male. If you like it, just change it. It's no big deal."

"Okay, we'll do as you say. We'll choose someone else and then we'll switch later."

At that moment, a gentle-looking woman looked at Scarlett.

In the dim light, Scarlett's slender figure was not particularly striking; only her eyes, though dimly lit, appeared exceptionally bright.

Seeing that she hadn't spoken, the female smiled and asked, "Little female, do you have a male you like?"

The women sitting at this table came from ordinary backgrounds. Like Scarlett, they were dressed simply, but their eyes were bright and piercing.

Scarlett met the woman's gaze and smiled frankly, "I like Riley and Brian."

The female paused, exchanged glances with the others, and then another female spoke up, "Young female, you don't look very old. Are you here to choose a husband?"

The bonfire party is not only for females aged eighteen; females of other ages also participate.

Some choose the primary husband, while others choose a secondary husband.

Scarlett smiled and said, "Yes."

The females understood and laughed, "You have good taste. The right husband is important, so we won't compete with you to avoid driving up the price. Good luck and win them over."

"Thank you sisters!"

In the blink of an eye, the sixth performance was over.

The host came on stage to announce that the seventh program was about to begin.

Scarlett sat up straight, anticipating Riley and Brian's performance.

What kind of sparks will fly between these two people, one calm and collected, the other hot-tempered and arrogant?

Scarlett smiled and looked at the stage.

That glance actually sparked a flame within her.

However, it wasn't Riley and Brian who caused it. Instead, a loud "whoosh" came from the side of the stage, and thick smoke billowed out, with sparks jumping out along with the smoke, exploding all over the ground. In no time, it ignited the velvet on the stage.

The announcer was caught off guard, and his elaborate attire was instantly engulfed by the thick smoke.

He choked and coughed repeatedly.

But as a host, he still upheld basic professional ethics, holding up the microphone and shouting, "Fire! Everyone run!!!"

This place was originally intended for a bonfire party.

The walls were covered with braziers and torches to enhance the atmosphere.

Now that a fire has suddenly broken out, everyone is terrified by the raging flames and runs out in a frenzy. The noise is so loud that the braziers and torches on the wall shake and fall down one after another, intensifying the fire.

In an instant, the entire banquet hall descended into chaos.

Scarlett's heart pounded. She stood up, but ran towards the stage.

She grabbed the frantically fleeing host, "Where are Riley and Brian?"

The host was focused on escaping and didn't remember where Riley and Brian were. He just pointed in a random direction and said, "They're over there."

Scarlett looked in the direction he was pointing.

The point where the fire started on the stage.

Scarlett looked around. "Where are your fire safety equipment? Where are they?"

"Fire-fighting facilities? What fire-fighting facilities?" The host looked up, completely bewildered.

Scarlett gasped as she thought about the world she lived in.

She let go, jumped onto the stage, grabbed the opening velvet on the other side that hadn't been affected, and ripped it off forcefully.

The moment the velvet fell, it covered her figure. She quickly took out the water gun from her spatial storage, sprayed it all onto the velvet, soaked it, draped it over herself, and rushed into the firelight.

"Hey! Don't go! It's dangerous!"

The host stared in shock at what Scarlett was doing.

But he couldn't do anything about it, so he could only run away, crawling towards the door on all fours.

……

……

fire!
The fire is leaping wildly!

It completely submerged the side of the stage.

Scarlett, wearing a smoke mask, searched around for Riley and Brian.

"Railley!"

"Brian!"

"Railley!"

"Brian!"

The charred roof beams crashed down, blocking her path several times, but she kicked them away each time.

……

……

Several males from the backstage area, not far from the side of the stage, saw the fire and knew it was a good opportunity to leave. They abandoned their luggage and fled in the chaos.

Lucas was drinking on the top floor when he heard that the banquet hall was on fire. He ran down in a panic and quickly organized people to put out the fire.

Riley and Brian knew they couldn't leave, so they took advantage of the chaos and hid in the pine cabinet furthest from the fire.

Brian nervously gripped his soaked handkerchief.

I prayed silently in my heart that everything would be alright.

He closed his eyes, his mind filled with images of Scarlett.

The smoke drifted into the cabinet, not very thick, but his eyes stung, turned red, and he looked on the verge of tears.

"Scarlett..."

"When will you find me...?"

Will I live to see you?

Just then, several clear voices rang out from outside the cabinet door.

"Brian!"

"Riley!" He was stunned for a moment, then quickly opened his eyes and stared at the cabinet door in disbelief for a long time.

In complete darkness.

All he could see was the flickering light from the edge of the cabinet door.

Is it an illusion?

"Brian!"

"Railley!"

“Where are you!”

This time, however, the sound was closer and clearer!
He remembered Riley's instructions not to go out easily.

Pine cabinets are highly fire-resistant and can withstand fire for a long time, but if you go outside, you'll easily get choked by smoke; you'll either be burned to death or choke to death.

but.

He really heard Scarlett's voice and didn't want to miss this chance.

Brian mustered his courage, covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and pushed open the cabinet door.

A surge of flames rushed towards us.

Before he could even see what was in front of him, he was swept back by the flames.

His heart sank into despair in an instant.

Is he going to die?

However, the next second, a hand reached in and handed him a smoke mask. "Brian! Be careful! Put on the mask before you come out."

He looked at the hand.

The hands, covered in black ash, had distinct knuckles and looked slender yet full of strength.

He paused for a moment, then reached out and took the oxygen mask, put it on, and eagerly stepped out of the pine cabinet.

The fires around us have almost been extinguished.

Only black smoke was still billowing.

In a hazy state.

Brian saw Scarlett frantically trying to put out the fire with a water gun.

He couldn't resist lunging at it.

"Scarlett!"

He was so strong that he almost knocked Scarlett down.

Scarlett steadied herself, patted him a few times with a smile to comfort him, and then put the water gun in his hand, saying, "This one is for you, I'm going to find Riley."

Riley hid in another pine cabinet.

I had heard Scarlett's voice long ago.

He thought it was an illusion.

Or perhaps they thought Scarlett would leave after rescuing Brian.

This is a good opportunity to get rid of him.

But Scarlett didn't.

She still remembers him.

Riley smiled, and color returned to his pale face.

Before he could leave, the cabinet door had already been opened.

Scarlett squatted by the door, tilting her head to look at him with a smile, her eyes gentle and shimmering. "I found you."

Riley smiled faintly, tears welling in her eyes. "Your Highness."

Scarlett shoved the new smoke mask and water gun into Riley's hands. "Riley, the fire in this area is out. You're safe now. Help put out the fire. I'm going to find Ashley. He's still in the basement. I'm worried the fire might spread."

Riley put on the smoke mask, gripped the water gun, and said, "Okay."

……

……

The banquet hall for the bonfire party is on the first floor, very close to the underground hall. If a fire starts, it will affect both the upper and lower floors.

When the thick smoke choked the basement.

No one reacted yet.

Until the flames rolled in.

Everyone was startled, and their first reaction was to jump onto chairs to avoid the fire rolling down from the ground.

"on fire!"

"on fire!"

"Quickly put out the fire!"

Anxious shouts came from outside.

Looking at the fire, Kresh suddenly felt a sense of relief and joy. "That's good, I don't have to wait for her anymore."

Ashley retorted, "What's so good about it? There's a fire! Run!"

Kresh shook his head. "We can't run around. Without a female leader to guide us, we can only stay here."

"why?"

"rule."

Ashley was stunned.

That is indeed the rule of this world.

Males have no choice; their entire lives are subject to the arrangements of females.

At home, you should stay with your mother.

After marriage, one must follow the female master.

Scarlett told him to stay here, so he had no choice but to stay.

You can't reveal your true self when you create a persona.

Ashley looked toward the doorway.

Given the danger, will Scarlett remember him? Or will Scarlett be safe?
No! He has to go...

"boom!"

The door was kicked open!

Scarlett walked in carrying a water gun. "Ashley, where are you?!"

Ashley's eyes lit up.
