Yi Youyou was equally stunned and looked at Yuan Baixue for confirmation.

Yuan Baixue showed no embarrassment at being caught as a mistress. She first confirmed that Qin Huanyu's story was true, and then extended an invitation to Yi Youyou:

"Yuyu-nee, do you want to come along? When I was training at Yingzhou Shrine, everyone really enjoyed playing with me~~"

Yi Youyou was completely speechless, and her boiling anger quickly cooled down.

However, she still looked at Qin Huanyu with suspicion again:

"You really didn't do anything? Then why are you only wearing underwear and pantyhose?"

"Because I was just about to take a shower when I discovered that Snow White was hiding on my bed."

Qin Huanyu immediately raised one leg:

"If you don't believe me, Youyou, you can smell it. My pantyhose are still full of sweat... You should know me. I always take a shower before we get intimate."

"Get lost, who wants to smell your stinky feet?"

Yi Youyou blushed slightly, then pushed Qin Huanyu towards the bathroom:

"Go take a shower first, I'll talk to Bai Xue."

"... uh, okay."

Qin Huanyu hesitated for two seconds, but then gave in and obediently went to take a bath.

During this time, Yi Youyou gave Yuan Baixue a long and earnest lecture, the core message of which was to tell her not to take the 'Gui' so lightly anymore... The scumbag women in the 'Gui' are even more despicable than the scumbag men, and straight women should protect themselves when facing the scumbag women in the 'Gui'.

Yuan Baixue may not be very smart, but she still has basic emotional intelligence. She realized that Yi Youyou and Qin Huanyu didn't want to take her out tonight, so she obediently left.

Before leaving, Yuan Baixue made a special trip to the bathroom and solemnly expressed that she would find another way to thank Qin Huanyu for beating up her sister.

"Hmph~~"

As soon as Yuan Baixue left, Yi Youyou pouted again, sat on Qin Huanyu's bed, and her face was full of "I'm angry, come and coax me" expressions.

Having just finished showering, Qin Huanyu, without even putting on underwear but only wearing a new pair of pantyhose, wrapped herself in a bath towel and sat down next to Yi Youyou, reaching out to put her arm around Yi Youyou's waist.

"Don't be angry, Youyou, I didn't do anything to Baixue, did I?"

"...How could I not understand you?"

Yi Youyou glanced at Qin Huanyu, but didn't push her away:

"Just because you haven't acted yet doesn't mean you don't intend to... If I had arrived any later, would you have already accepted her thank-you gift?"

"Ah...hehe~~"

Qin Huanyu knew she couldn't fool Yi Youyou about this, so she deliberately gave a flattering smile:

"Actually, it's nothing... Maybe the customs in Yingzhou are really different from ours? Besides, I'm just helping Bai Xue to understand her thoughts, it's just a way of helping others."

"Ah."

Yi Youyou gave a cold laugh:

"Even if the customs in Yingzhou are really unique, and even if Bai Xue herself doesn't care at all, you almost broke the law tonight, you know that?"

"what?"

Qin Huanyu asked in confusion:

"What law did I break?"

"It's illegal to be mentally challenged!"

Yi Youyou immediately used a grappling technique, pinning Qin Huanyu down with a backhand, her eyes gleaming with excitement:

"As a police officer, you almost broke the law! Tell me, shouldn't you be punished?"

"He deserves to be punished, he deserves to be punished..."

Qin Huanyu twisted her body slightly, then kicked her legs:

"Bring me justice, I'll do whatever you say tonight."

"...Hmph, that's more like it."

Yi Youyou became even more excited, her voice carrying a hint of allure, as she took out several small toys and an electric toothbrush that she had brought with her.

. . . . .

The next day, the selection competition for the princess continued, and the venue returned to the original side hall, without any additional spectators.

However, there are some changes compared to the previous few days, mainly in the layout of the side hall.

Originally, this side hall had a row of main seats at the top, where the chief examiner usually sat, with the empress and princess sitting on either side of him. Below were two rows of tables and chairs on the left and right, each seating five candidates, and in the middle was an open space that could be used for song and dance performances.

Now, the open space has five single beds like those in massage parlors, each with a bedside table and incense on it.

The Empress and the Princess sat side by side in the main seat, while Linglan stood in front of the main seat, arranging the five single beds. Bailing and several palace maids assisted her.

While Linglan was still setting up, Princess Wu Xiqun personally explained the rules of today's project to the five princess consort candidates.

This project mainly tests the candidates' will and character. It is hosted by Linglan, and five people participate in the assessment together. After the assessment, the rankings are released and the total score is calculated.

The assessment method involves five candidates lying on a bed, after which Suzuran will guide them into a special dreamscape that she has prepared in advance, using her specially made incense combined with acupuncture and massage.

In the dream, the five contestants temporarily lose their memories of reality and rely entirely on their true nature to face various tests and choices, showing their most authentic selves.

"When entering the dream, be sure not to resist my power."

Once all five candidates were settled on the massage beds, Linglan tilted her head slightly and revealed a seemingly kind and gentle smile:

“If you resist my power, you may not be able to enter the correct dream, or you may not be able to blur the memories of reality… If this happens, I may have to use a rather brutal method to take away your consciousness first, and then guide you into the dream.”

"...What's a rather crude method?"

Qin Huanyu asked a question out of curiosity.

Linglan didn't answer immediately, but smiled and reached out to take the large iron rod that Bai Ling handed her:

"Don't worry, I'm the best doctor, I'll cure you afterwards."

"Uh……"

Qin Huanyu immediately put away her ulterior motives. She had indeed originally planned to enter the dream with her memories intact and then deliberately play it safe to get a low score.

Now... I can only hope that my willpower isn't that strong.

As the pleasant scent of incense filled her nostrils and the nimble, cool fingers of the lily of the valley massaged her body, Qin Huanyu quickly began to moan comfortably and then drifted off to sleep.

When she woke up again, the assessment was over, but she couldn't quite remember what she had experienced in her dream. She only remembered that it seemed to be a wonderful dream, and she felt comfortable all over, except that her pantyhose were a little damp.

After taking a shower and changing into new clothes next door, everyone else woke up from their dreams and returned to their seats, waiting for the assessment results to be announced.

After discussing the matter briefly with the Empress, Wu Xiqun announced the results.

Yi Youyou is first, Nangong Yue is second, Yuan Tingxue is third, Qin Huanyu is fourth, and Wang Ruoxi is fifth.

The new overall standings are as follows:

Nangong Yue 12 points, Qin Huanyu 12 points, Yi Youyou 11 points, Yuan Tingxue 11 points, Wang Ruoxi 8 points.

Qin Huanyu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this... Thank goodness, she didn't get a good score in this project, only adding 1 point.

However, she was also very curious. She felt that her will was quite firm, and she was able to defeat the embodiment of arrogance head-on, so why did she only get fourth place?

Others were equally curious about their experiences in their dreams.

"Don't worry, you will be informed about the entire assessment process."

Lily of the Valley smiled slightly upon seeing this:

"The dreams you experienced were all constructed by me personally. Naturally, I also have ways to record your dreams, and even play them like a movie... Watch carefully."

As Linglan spoke, she picked up a small bottle, opened the wooden stopper, and let the white mist-like smoke inside drift out.

Then, Linglan quickly inhaled the white mist, sucking it all into her mouth. She chewed it like gum for a while before spitting it out into a basin of water.

A magical phenomenon occurred... As the white mist emitted by the lily of the valley merged with the clear water in the basin, the water surface directly transformed into a screen, playing the dream experiences of the five candidates like a movie.

The first thing played was, of course, Yi Youyou's dream, which won first place.

In her dream, Yi Youyou became a completely different person, and the environment she lived in changed to a country similar to the ancient Holy Zhou Dynasty. Her identity was that of a super-rich heiress.

Unfortunately, the city where she lived was very chaotic, with martial arts figures fighting every day. The government wanted to intervene but was powerless to do so, and the constables were helpless against the elusive martial arts masters.

In Yi Youyou's dream, her wealthy parents were killed when she was a teenager in the dream, as they got involved in a fight between martial arts masters in an alley.

Despite this unexpected turn of events, Yi Youyou in her dream did not become despondent or frustrated. Instead, she silently made a vow in her heart—she would end the lawless state of the martial arts masters in this city and ensure that the tragedy that befell her parents would never happen again.

Therefore, Yi Youyou, who inherited a huge fortune in her dream, not only hired famous teachers to teach her martial arts, but also hired many skilled craftsmen to create various strange and hidden weapons that could help the weak defeat the strong.

Years later, having mastered martial arts and acquired many powerful hidden weapons, Yi Youyou officially emerged from seclusion to punish the lawless martial arts masters in her city.

Instead of choosing to retaliate in kind, she adhered to the principle of not killing. She crippled and disabled the martial arts of each martial arts master she defeated before handing them over to the authorities for trial and imprisonment.

During this period, martial arts figures joined forces multiple times to try to kill her, and even top masters personally took action to hunt her down.

But Yi Youyou in the dream withstood it all.

She spent money lavishly, and there were informants providing her with intelligence in every corner of the city. Those underworld figures also needed to eat, stay, and live, and they always had to come into contact with people. Their conspiracies could not be kept secret at all, and they would be exposed in advance by Yi Youyou in her dreams, either by defeating them one by one or by luring them into a trap and wiping them all out.

While the top masters in the martial arts world were indeed far stronger than Yi Youyou in the dream, Yi Youyou never engaged them in direct combat.

Everyone has weaknesses, and Yi Youyou always manages to discover the weaknesses of those masters. Then, relying on her wisdom and various setups and hidden weapons, she defeats those top masters by overcoming the odds.

In the end, Yi Youyou succeeded. After dozens of top martial arts masters were defeated and more than a dozen martial arts organizations were destroyed, her city became a forbidden zone for martial arts practitioners. No one dared to go there anymore, and the public security was so good that it could almost be said that doors were left unlocked at night.

Afterwards, Yi Youyou remained steadfast in her beliefs, never wavering, and lived out her life in the dream world as the city's guardian of the night.

In short, Yi Youyou's experience in this dream was no less inspiring than a top-notch inspirational film, and everyone had no objection to her taking first place.

Only Qin Huanyu had a strange expression. Yi Youyou's dream gave her a strong sense of déjà vu... It was totally a martial arts version of Gotham City's Batman.

But thinking about it carefully, Yi Youyou is a masked phantom thief in reality, and she also lost her parents when she was very young... Maybe she really has that talent?

While Qin Huanyu was lost in thought, Linglan had already swallowed another bottle of white mist and spat it into a basin of fresh water, and started playing the dream experience of Nangong Yue.

Unlike Yi Youyou, who dreams of traveling to an ancient martial arts world, Nangong Yue's dream is of the future, and a very sci-fi future at that.

At that time, Earth had already achieved unification and ventured into the universe, while Nangong Yue's identity in the dream was that of a female agent of the Earth Federation.

Having just entered interstellar space, Earth is a very weak civilization in the universe. To people of advanced civilizations, Earthlings are like people in big cities looking at primitive tribes in remote mountainous areas.

Nangong Yue's mission as a female agent of the Earth Alliance is to disguise herself as an interstellar socialite, find a way to blend into the high society of advanced civilizations, and strive for the interests of her home planet, Earth.

Nangong Yue perfectly utilized her tea ceremony talent and quickly completed her disguise. With her hot and beautiful appearance and gentle and understanding nature, she attracted many powerful or wealthy suitors in the interstellar space, and secretly plotted many benefits for her home planet.

But if you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet... Even the best female agent will eventually have her identity exposed, and then fail to break through and be captured.

Chapter 173 Can't we even enjoy ourselves yet?

In Nangong Yue's dream, after her identity as a female agent was exposed and she was captured, she did not experience the kind of happy encounters that people usually enjoy.

The alien who saw through her identity also recognized her talent and wanted to recruit her to work for him, promising to give her an even more flawless identity and to help her evade any purges of traitors from Earth.

In the dream, Nangong Yue showed no signs of being unwilling to die, and agreed after a moment's hesitation.

So she became an alien spy whose identity was even harder to detect, continuing to mingle in the universe as a socialite, frequenting various social venues to gather and transmit intelligence.

During this time, Nangong Yue encountered several formidable people whose identities were exposed, but she always managed to win them over with her talent and charm, persuading them to accept her as a multi-faceted spy or a cooperative informant.

Thus, as a servant of the N family, Nangong Yue skillfully navigated the various forces in the universe, gaining increasing fame and eventually becoming a top socialite in the universe.

She lost contact with Earth after her first capture, and Earth had long regarded her as a shameful traitor, even sending assassins to kill her.

But no matter how many factions Nangong Yue switched allegiances in her dreams, she never actually betrayed Earth. In the various intelligence exchanges, she always made the choice that was most beneficial to Earth.

Even though her former superiors and juniors were furious at her betrayal, she didn't care. She continued to secretly seek benefits for Earth in her own way, without even Earth knowing. Even when several of her juniors were captured and almost became actresses in adult films, it was she who secretly used various means to help them escape.

Unfortunately, indulging in wine and women was too harmful to her health. As a socialite active in the universe, Nangong Yue in the dream world dealt with these things almost every day. Even though the medical technology of the alien civilization was very advanced, she did not live past the age of 40 and passed away, ending the dream world.

No one disputed her second-place ranking. In her dream, she had countless opportunities to completely sever ties with Earth and become a high-society socialite in the universe, but she gave them all up... Even though she was misunderstood and scorned by the people she wholeheartedly protected, she never forgot her original aspiration and continued to fight for the strength of her home planet in her own way.

Even Yi Youyou, who always liked to speak ill of Nangong Yue, praised Nangong Yue a few times after watching the dream replay, saying that her heart was like a piece of gold soaked in green tea.

After a brief exchange of views on Nangong Yue's dream, Linglan once again exhaled white mist that blended with clear water, and played Yuan Tingxue's dream for everyone.

This dream world is finally more in line with the dreamer's identity; it's a world of cultivation.

In the dream, Yuan Tingxue is still a cultivation genius and the chief disciple of a super sect, making her a senior sister of the righteous path.

She has always upheld the true spirit of eliminating evil and upholding justice, overcoming all obstacles.

She wouldn't wrong an innocent demonic cultivator who hadn't done anything wrong. Nor would she show mercy to a hypocrite who was two-faced and acted like a righteous person; she would kill him if necessary.
