"It's not April Fool's Day today, sister. Wasting food is immoral, it's bad. If we can't, we should reorder. I, the little sister, will take care of this bill today."
Gao Liyuan's smile on her face was quite strained.
Her small hand was trembling uncontrollably.
Yang Jingying and the other girls showed expressions of just as I thought.
To demonstrate that she was not wasting food
Yang Jingying set an example, picked up her bowl, and served some locust eggs.
Locusts, a kind of squirming insect.
Similar to earthworms.
People unfamiliar with it,
would indeed feel their scalp tingling.
Only those who are used to eating it, or those who are brave enough to try new things,
could stomach it.
Yang Jingying tasted it
In front of Han, Gao, and Li three women.
These locust steamed eggs were very delicious.
Li Jiaxin has been wandering abroad for so many years.
And had never tried to eat bugs.
To be precise, she had never been down on her luck to the point of eating bugs to stave off hunger.
To come back to her home country,
Good heavens!
Do all the modern beauties have such peculiar tastes these days?
The corner of Han Zhiqi's mouth twitched, only this crazy woman Yang Jingying would eat it at this time, those other girls probably didn't know, did they?
Thinking this,
she decided to ask.
"Shen Manni, Xu Shi, you guys don't really want to eat this stuff, do you?"
Xu Shi blinked her big eyes, showing two sharp little tiger teeth, "Of course, why not? Zhiqi sister, this stuff is really delicious."
To show her sincerity,
Xu Shi started to move her bowl and chopsticks.
Next was Shen Manni.
After the two girls finished eating while laughing,
It seemed they were going to continue eating.
Han Zhiqi, Gao Liyuan, and Li Jiaxin, the three women, were dumbfounded.
They turned their gazes to An Youyi who was still cracking sunflower seeds.
Hoping that An Youyi was still somewhat sane.
She was the last hope of the village women now.
But An Youyi didn't crush their hopes-----
she made them completely despair!
They saw An Youyi clapping off the sunflower seed shells in her hand.
"Xu Shi, how does the locust taste tonight?"
Xu Shi obediently helped the boss serve bugs on this side, smiled and said: "They're fried and then steamed, it tastes really good."
"Come, Sister An, have a taste."
A full bowl.
An Youyi took it and thanked her.
Then she started to enjoy it as if she were alone.
"So-so, it'll do for now."
Han Zhiqi: It's over, these women have gone insane.
Gao Liyuan: Oh, they self-destruct before the teacher sets out for Zhou. These women are hopeless from now on.
Li Jiaxin: I can just about accept that the angel of death eats bugs, but what's wrong with all you beauties?
Before they could pull themselves together,
there was a knock at the room door.
Xu Shi was chewing her food and muttered, "Come in!"
A waitress pushing a cart walked in.
They had thought this was just the beginning, they didn't expect the peak was yet to come!
Han, Gao, Li, the three women were deeply shocked.
These dishes were... quite unique.
A table full of bugs.
Banquet of insects!
Which deeply disgusted them.
Xu Shi chuckled and looked at Gao Liyuan.
"Liyuan, these little guys may not look like much, but the taste is actually pretty good. Want to try?"
Go to hell, go to hell, you're a big-headed ghost!
Didn't you all think about this for a second...
The daily life of these bugs.
Crawling with a bunch of their own kind.
Digging and digging.
I wonder if they've ever encountered a rice field.
Don't you guys have brains?
Gao Liyuan offered a smile, her eyelid twitching wildly.
“I…I'm not hungry…”
Han Zhiqi cleverly stopped the waitress.
“Would you mind bringing the menu back?”
The waitress nodded, showing deep understanding!
The lady, all your friends are werewolves!
Give humans a break!
Wolf extinction! This is!!!!
Even old hands wouldn't dare to eat like this.
So it goes.
Those who eat bugs and those who don't formed two factions.
Xu Shi tempted with her tone.
Finding that the three women, led by Gao Liyuan, would rather die than comply.
And then, that was it.
If they refuse to eat, so be it.
They might not even have enough to share.
The aura turned rather eerie.
The girls ate bugs while discussing their strategy.
Xu Mo couldn't show his hand just yet.
Su Ting and Xu Fuqiang had hit a dead end.
A situation that could not be easily resolved.
Zhou Qiaoqiao was in control.
She was in charge of keeping everything steady.
The bond trembled.
Such amount of money was enough to blind the richest man.
If it were their parents,
They would probably have them tied up by now.
Han Zhiqi's brows furrowed together.
“Is there really no other way?”
Yang Jingying tossed aside a bug's wing, speaking, “There is a way, to go by a different sword technique.”
“Our main goal is not to let that woman Zhou Qiaoqiao succeed!”
“No matter what it takes.”
Han Zhiqi looked at her, “It sounds nice, but what's the solution?”
Yang Jingying tossed a dragon louse into her mouth, making a crisp crunching sound.
“Think of a way to make Xu Mo return to being Shen Manni's lapdog!”
“I disagree!”
Han Zhiqi immediately objected.
Yang Jingying glanced at her, her tone resentful, “As if I'm thrilled about it!”
“If not this way, how can we buy ourselves more time?”
Han Zhiqi: “Buy more time? Do you think you can delay it forever?”
As long as we can delay it briefly, that will be enough!
I'm going to kidnap someone and make a fait accompli.
This is a deadlock. Let that woman use her second-hand goods.
If the light doesn't work, play in the shadows.
Yang Jingying smiled and counter-questioned, “If you have a better solution, feel free to speak. I'm just offering my opinion. Agree or disagree, you can allow the situation to continue unfolding as it is.”
Han Zhiqi fell silent.
Rather, the real person involved, Shen Manni.
Her icy façade was cracked open for a split second.
How could Xu Mo be her lapdog again?
What the hell is going on?
Again?
Despite her apparent composure,
She was jumping for joy inside.
This time.
She has to act swiftly.
Take advantage of her strengths.
Trick the lapdog to come home and then slaughter him!
Just like how she got him home from the bar last time!
And this time.
Shen Manni plans to do something more intense!
Keep Xu Mo overnight.
In her room.
Xu Shi feels like her head was about to blow up.
Unless it's absolutely necessary.
She really doesn't want to live like a fugitive abroad with Xu Mo!
The fugitive game is no fun.
If Xu Mo won’t cooperate, the odds of getting caught are too big.
Her resurrection was a lonely one.
The ladies, each with their own thoughts.
Some of them proposed a new plan.
But it lacked persuasiveness.
And feasibility was also low.
They have to act without Zhou Qiaqiao’s knowledge.
Once again, they had to coax Xu Mo to appear.
In a bid to prolong the marriage.
Looking at Xu Mo's attitude, it's likely he wouldn't resist too strongly.
But they were very unwilling to see Xu Mo as another woman's groom!
After a meal.
The women failed to come up with any useful plan.
Round and round.
It was still the one posed by Yang Jingying first.
It had some use.
All the other female protagonists did was pour out their loneliness.
Yang Jingying sighed, thinking: I must move quickly to secure this matter, I can't rely on these women.
"I will create another group, and if you think of any useful plan, you can propose it in the group and share your thoughts."
"If there's no good plan in the end, then we'll have to make Xu Mo the one to pursue Shen Manni again."

] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

"Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later."

Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
