All the women in the apocalypse are mine

They all thought to themselves, and understood why even a yakuza organization like the Black Dragon Society would address the girl before them as Princess.

It seemed that no one, except the girl before him, could be more fitting for this incomparably noble title.

Ye Xinglu looked at the face in front of her that was staring at her with fascination, and shook her head helplessly.

Is the alluring aura that is merely unconsciously revealed already so powerful?

"As you can see... I am the 'princess' who brought everyone together." Suddenly, Ye Xingluo's sweet voice rang out, "Please forgive my previous rudeness. Consider these things... as compensation for everyone."

Then, amidst the women's astonished gazes, as if witnessing a miracle, Ye Xinglu gently waved her slender arms, and strands resembling soaked underwear floated in mid-air as if weightless.

Then, bathed in white light, a table piled high with food quietly appeared before the group of women.

"I'm sure everyone's tired and hungry right now... so please don't be shy, let's have a proper chat after we've all eaten!"

Night Star's voice was incredibly gentle, making the women feel as if a spring breeze was caressing their cheeks. Her smile was so sweet it made their hearts melt.

Angel...

That must be an angel, right?

Unlike the beautiful girls at Nantong University who received protection from Ye Xinglu from the very beginning, these women rescued by the Black Dragon Society had truly experienced the cruel apocalypse. Most of them had witnessed firsthand the gradually cold and ugly human hearts that emerged under the apocalypse, and they also clearly knew... just how precious food was.

Let alone a full Manchu Han Imperial Feast summoned before them by Ye Xingluo, even a steaming box of instant noodles would probably be fought over outside. And women as beautiful as them would probably make all sorts of compromises in the face of food.

Therefore, they cannot imagine... that someone could casually wave their hand and have an endless supply of delicious food.

"Can...can we really eat this?"

The model asked in a trembling voice.

"Of course you can! There's more if you can't finish it all, so everyone can eat to their heart's content!"

After Ye Xingluo confirmed it again, the women exchanged glances and went to the sumptuous meal.

They didn't care about being ladylike anymore, ignoring the utensils at hand and eating heartily.

As they swallowed the steaming food, tears involuntarily streamed down their faces.

The more they ate... the harder they cried...

The women looked at Ye Xingluo lying on his side not far in front of them, their eyes filled with a myriad of thoughts.

If I had to sum it up in one sentence, it would be... Princess is forever a goddess!

"Hmm, looks like it'll be quite a while... I'll go take a short nap then," Night Starfall said lazily in a soft voice. "Silly girl... let's have some fun in the Phantom Realm afterwards~"

"Yes Master."

The silly girl's phantom appeared and respectfully replied.

Girls... experience what it feels like to be in paradise!

Ye Xinglu walked into the inner room and said slowly to herself.

...

Chapter 8 Welcome to the Fox Tail Chamber!

"It's...like a dream."

The model followed behind the silly girl, watching everything the phantom did and couldn't help but mutter to herself.

The women with her shared similar thoughts; the scenes unfolding before them felt utterly unreal.

In this apocalyptic world, those who have managed to survive to this day all have tragic pasts they don't want to recall.

The model was shooting a fashion magazine when the apocalypse occurred. She and the remaining staff hid in a nearby storage room when the monsters appeared, thus escaping the disaster. However... as a famous model in the industry, her perfect figure and beautiful face brought her tremendous pressure. Every day, she had to force a smile and persevere under the hungry gazes of men.

The cunning woman managed to survive for quite some time by using the strategy of "driving the tigers to devour the wolves," but due to the lack of food and the confined environment, the men could not resist their evil thoughts and made their move on her.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the Black Dragon Society, she might have been ruined by now, so she now views everything with great resentment... especially towards men.

JK girl was originally the only child of a family of three, living a happy and fulfilling life. However, the arrival of the apocalypse destroyed everything. When their food ran out, someone in the family had to go out to find food. First, it was her father, then her mother. Fate seemed to be deliberately playing tricks on her. Every time they were about to succeed, a terrifying Void Slave would appear out of nowhere. JK girl watched helplessly as her beloved parents died tragically in front of her.

She survived on the food her parents had luckily brought back until the arrival of the "Princess." The handsome older brother who was the leader buried her parents in the community's land, so... she was very grateful to the "Princess."

Lu Yannan's husband, unable to bear seeing his wife and child suffer from hunger, resolutely went out to find food and never returned, leaving the mother and child alone in the community. Fortunately, they were helped by kind neighbors in their apartment building; otherwise, they probably wouldn't have survived until now.

Every woman here has her own painful memories, having lost her most precious things in the apocalypse.

This is why they burst into tears after Ye Xingluo so easily conjured up a pile of food.

The things they fought so hard for, the desire to live, seemed so effortless to others... it's really hard to accept.

"Is this... a home theater?"

The JK girl walked into the Phantom's screening room and, looking at the projector in the middle, couldn't hold back her tears once again.

She suddenly remembered that not long before the apocalypse, her father had said that if she could get first place in her class, he would spend a lot of money to get her a complete set of clothes.

The high school girl achieved first place as promised, but her promise to her father... could never be fulfilled.

She slowly walked to the screen, put on her father's favorite movie, and laughed while tears streamed down her face.

Mom and Dad... I will carry on with your legacy and live well...

Coco, are you full?

Lu Yannan quietly watched her daughter eating with her mouth full of oil. The frown that had been on her face since the apocalypse gradually relaxed. As she wiped her daughter's mouth with a tissue, the heavy burden on her heart seemed to shrink considerably.

Anyway... at least Coco won't go hungry anymore.

Coco, what are you doing?

Lu Yannan grabbed her daughter's little hand.

Coco, who seemed to have completely lost her appetite, was using her greasy little hands to grab a round meatball and put it into the pocket of the new clothes she had changed into after her bath.

"You can't do that, Coco..."

Lu Yannan said to his daughter in a somewhat serious tone.

In the apocalypse, not only food, but also everyday items like clothing must be cherished, especially when there are no spare clothes.

Speaking of which, Coco used to like to put mud in her pockets, and we could let her be willful before, but in the apocalypse, this bad habit has to be corrected.

Huh?

Lu Yannan suddenly noticed... that Coco's little hands were clenched with unexpected strength.

"Daddy..." Just as Lu Yannan was about to forcibly pry open his daughter's little hands, Coco whispered, "Daddy... loves meatballs the most, Coco... Coco wants to save some for Daddy."

Lu Yannan's hand froze on the spot. Looking at her daughter, whose eyes held a hint of stubbornness, she couldn't help but cover her mouth, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam.

"Mommy said... Daddy went to a very far place, but... Daddy will definitely come back, right?" Coco said earnestly. "When Daddy sees Maruko... he'll be so happy!"

"cocoa..."

Lu Yannan suddenly hugged Coco's small body tightly. Her daughter's words finally broke down this strong mother, and she could no longer hold back and burst into tears in front of her daughter.

But... Coco stared blankly at her grieving mother, her big, round eyes looking rather lost...

Why is Mom crying?

Coco thought to herself slowly.

Mina stood aside and watched this scene quietly. The excitement that had been burning within her gradually subsided, and she revealed a self-deprecating bitter smile.

They're completely different...

Mina murmured to herself.

The more joy these girls, once basking in the ivory tower, laughed when they entered Phantom, the more sorrow these women feel now.

Looking back now... I realize how naive I was!

Do you feel this deeply?

Night Starfall appeared beside Mina at some point and spoke softly.

"This... is this the formidable rival Master spoke of?"

Mina nodded slightly and wiped her eyes as she spoke.

"That's right. It's precisely because they have lost precious things to varying degrees that they can more clearly understand how hard-won happiness is. Having personally experienced hell, they yearn for the existence of heaven far more than you little cuties who have only seen hell."

Night Star patted Mina's head and said.

"Does Master mean... we are inferior to them?"

Mina was somewhat unconvinced.

"It's difficult at the moment... You all lack a certain belief," Ye Xinglu said mercilessly. "Although your bodies have been nourished for so long that they far surpass theirs, it's still uncertain who will truly remain within the Phantom in the near future."

After Ye Xinglu finished speaking, he left directly, leaving Mina somewhat stunned.

Will they... really lose?

Will they simply hand over the right to live in the Phantom and alongside its master?

No! That's impossible!

They were just a group of ordinary women, not worth mentioning at all compared to those who had become the master's servants!

Belief?

Mina suddenly smiled.

Then let's show our masters the reality... their unparalleled faith!

...

Without paying any more attention to what Mina thought, Ye Xinglu strolled into the hall.

The women gathered together in the spacious dance floor as if by unspoken agreement.

"Your Highness...please tell us what you need us to do?"

The model looked at Ye Xingluo as she walked towards her and said calmly.

"Won't you enjoy it a little longer?"

Night Star asked softly.
