Dr. Einstein was always the most unconventional person.

Reanna smiled.

Otto and the others arrived shortly after, followed by Kallen and three women dressed in Shenzhou Chinese costumes.

"Where is that slut who seduced our master?"

Cheng Lingshuang drew her sword with a dark expression.

She really wanted to kill someone.

"Alright, Ling Shuang, aren't you ashamed?"

Su Mei sighed softly as she pushed Cheng Lingshuang's sword back.

"Why draw your sword in front of everyone, with Master and Grandmaster all here? Does it make us, Miss Cheng, the only one in our Tai Xu Sword Sect with unparalleled talent?"

"..."

Cheng Lingshuang's face darkened even more after being scolded by her second senior sister. Qin Suyi, standing next to her, was secretly laughing. She knew that her fifth senior sister had used similar words to scold her sixth senior brother before. It was really interesting to be scolded by her second senior sister today.

But Cheng Lingshuang obediently put her sword away.

Since Liu Bai remained silent, Su Mei, their second senior sister, was their pillar of support.

"Besides, even if we take a step back, it's none of our business what our grandmaster does. Let's go pay our respects to our master first, and then we'll pay our respects to our grandmaster later."

Su Mei waved her sleeve and sighed.

How could they, as the younger generation, possibly act as masters of their grandmaster?

She knew that her two junior sisters... and even herself had some ulterior motives, but that was only valid if the grandmaster acknowledged it. You couldn't force them, or things would go wrong.

Our master has been extremely kind to us, so how could we dare to ask for more?

It's just a matter of luck if I get it, and fate if I lose it.

While thinking, Su Mei led Qin Suyi and Cheng Lingshuang to give a brief greeting to Fu Hua, then stood apart clearly, and picked up the useless girl Li Sushang.

Not long after, the last group of people arrived.

Mei walked over with an icy expression and asked the people present without any politeness:

"I heard there are people making cream puffs here. How about the cream puffs?"

Chapter 303 It's time to show the authority of the head of the family.

When everyone saw Mei approaching with such a murderous look and asking questions, they immediately made way for her in the corridor and silently pointed inside the room.

The big shot has arrived! Big shot, please start the group buy.

Yes, the unspoken rule at this gathering is that whoever arrives last starts the group.

For no particular reason, those who are last to arrive in this situation are either the most prepared or the most foolish.

While this matter is causing a stir, it must not be allowed to escalate.

If the last group to arrive is the most prepared, then there's nothing more to say; they can just join the group, and the experienced members will surely lead the team well.

If the one who comes is the dumbest... then we can all work together to sell her.

That's one way to solve the problem.

Fu Hua glanced over and saw that behind Mei were Kevin, who looked like he was about to die, and Raven, who looked like he was just a tool.

"Kevin, what are you getting involved in this?"

"Um, Senior Sister, you've gotten your body back?"

Kevin was slightly surprised to see the "intelligence" reappear in Fu Hua's eyes, then gave a bitter smile with a deathly expression.

"I don't want to get involved either, because it would offend my future master's wife and senior sister..."

"If you think offending me will make you die later than offending your future master's wife, then don't get involved."

Mei spoke with a cold face and a slightly sinister tone.

What's the purpose of bringing Kevin here?

Isn't it just because Kevin can fight?

Although it's not useful now, I can use it to my advantage when it comes to dividing the spoils.

Dividing the spoils is just that—it's all about talking. If you can talk, you talk; if you can't, you take action.

"... See, that's how it is."

Kevin shrugged miserably at Fu Hua.

If Mei starts threatening him directly, what can he do?

Although Mei has absolutely no fighting ability, she speaks as if she really dares to run away.

"Nonsense."

Fu Hua frowned. "This is none of your business. Get out of here."

Although it's not nice to say it like this, this matter concerns the "women's family." Although Kevin is Liu Bai's apprentice, he is a complete outsider in this matter.

Why did you bring an outsider here to discuss matters concerning women? Whatever the reason, do you really want to make an enemy of Rita?

"Hey, that's exactly what I've been waiting for, Senior Sister!"

Upon hearing this, Kevin's sorrow instantly turned to joy, and he happily ran away. He wasn't stupid; hadn't he noticed that the Raiden Ryoma, Siegfried, and Gray Serpent were nowhere to be seen tonight? He wouldn't have come if he hadn't been conscripted by the Mei!

Mei pondered for a moment, then nodded.

This time, she only saw the benefits and neglected people's hearts... I was indeed a bit out of my mind today.

If it weren't for her senior sister stopping her, they might have really become enemies today... Well, not exactly mortal enemies, but enough for Rita to kill her.

"Alright, let's not talk about this. Why are there so many people blocking the entrance? Are cream puffs that pretty?"

Under the pressure of Mei and the group behind her, the Valkyrie who had been blocking the door and joining in the fun immediately ran faster than rabbits. Some of the veteran stormtroopers even grabbed two clueless kids and ran away.

After everyone at the door dispersed, Mei and her group finally saw what was inside the room.

Rita, the subject of this trial, had been wrapped in a blanket by Kiana sat on the blanket, staring at Rita with a displeased expression.

Bianka stood to the side, deep in thought. Liu Bai... Liu Bai had now returned to the Soul Steel Doll, staring at the ceiling.

How did things escalate like this today?

But... I definitely had a great time.

"Oh, Miss Rita isn't cosplaying a cream puff anymore, is she cosplaying a sandwich roll now?"

Mei stared coldly at Rita, and many of the people behind her also had menacing looks in their eyes.

For example, Edison, Cheng Lingshuang, Fu Hua, Mei, Bronya, and so on...

In response to Mei's sarcastic remarks, Rita flashed an apologetic and ingratiating smile, as if to say, "Whatever you say goes."

Rita's expression, on the contrary, eliminated the frustrating feeling of punching cotton.

"Raven, throw this shameless sandwich roll off the Sky Island of Schicksal."

"Alright~!"

Upon hearing this, the usually expressionless Shiora immediately broke into a smile, rolled up her sleeves, and approached Rita step by step.

"Miss Natasha, is it really that serious?"

Rita gave Raven a fawning smile, and the blanket bounced up and down like a salted fish—unfortunately, Kiana was pressing it down.

"You don't need to get involved in this mess."

Rita even called Raven by her first name. Previously, Rita had always called Raven by her surname, Shiora, which had misled many people. This was the first time she had called Raven by her first name.

"Stop it, don't talk like we're best friends."

Raven looked at Rita, who had been rolled up like a "sandwich roll," with a mocking expression on his face.

You've finally met your match?

"I wouldn't dare to try to get on your good side, Lady Rita. Come on, Miss Kiana, let me handle this sandwich roll."

"Aren't we best friends?"

Rita, who was being carried on her back, had a smirk on her face.

"We've been together... we've taken care of the children together."

"You bastard, you can't even think of an excuse, can you?"

Raven's face darkened.

"Alright, Miss Egg Roll, shall we go? Or do you want to have a last meal before you're executed?"

"Miss Natasha, are you really that heartless?"

"So you're saying I don't need a last meal after you're beheaded? I'll leave now and find a good place to throw you down."

Raven, with a look of triumphant satisfaction at having avenged himself, hoisted Rita onto his shoulder and prepared to leave.

"... Alright, you two stop acting and put him down."

Mei's expression darkened as she looked at the two people in front of her.

Rita, you weren't even struggling when you were carried out?

Do you really think that rolling up a blanket can restrain S-Rank Valkyrie?

These two are evenly matched in hand-to-hand combat without any special effects or equipment, right? Raven, you just casually carried someone out like that, who are you trying to fool?

You probably just carried him out and then released him.

Although Mei's original idea was to take this opportunity to get rid of Rita, your casual attitude is excessive!

Although Rita's face now showed an expression of apology and appeasement that surprised everyone, as if she were accepting punishment, Mei still felt something was off.

However, it's easily explained from Rita's perspective.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first soup and had a great time for over three hours. Did I lose out?

It's not a loss at all; in fact, it's incredibly satisfying and a huge profit.

Rita said she must have been out of her mind to stand up to these aggressive guys when she was already making a killing.

Of course, I admitted my mistake.

What's wrong with admitting your mistake? It's just admitting your mistake, right? Rita thought to herself that with her achievement of getting the first kill today, she could accept anything, let alone a verbal apology. She could even kneel down and kowtow to these people twice.

In short, only those who are truly happy know the benefits. In this situation, you should just keep your good fortune to yourself and be happy about it. Trying to act innocent will only get you beaten up.

So when Raven was about to throw her out, she verbally begged for mercy, but secretly she was eager to be thrown out—once this storm passes, I'll gather a few more people and form a clique with you guys, okay? Isn't my leadership, the one who got the first taste of the spoils, more reliable than yours, who's never seen meat before?

Rita felt that by doing this, she could take down one group and then take down another, and it would only take a little while before she was able to establish herself as the first wife.

But now... it seems like it's been seen through.

"Alright, I've done my best."

Natasha shrugged and tossed Rita back onto the bed.

I tried my best, so you can't blame me if your acting wasn't up to par.

"Rita, tell me what you want to eat next year now. We're pretty much best friends, and I'll bring it to you."

The Raven said that it had truly done everything it could, and that it was really not its fault.

Mei's eyes immediately Raven when she heard this.

The Raven, however, was completely oblivious to this.

She knows perfectly well why Mei is looking for her—isn't it just because she's the most capable leader in the World Serpent?

But that's where the problem lies.

Raven really wanted to say that he was no longer a member of the World Serpent, but a direct subordinate of Lord Liu Bai!

Raven has a very clear understanding of herself. To be serious, if the group present were divided into factions, she would be the only one who truly belongs to the "Liu Bai faction," with a status equivalent to a bodyguard, or a personal guard in ancient times.

The others were simply members of the Schicksal System, the Anti-Entropy System, the World Serpent System, and the Void System... She was the only one directly under Liu Bai's command.

So Raven had been wanting to ask Mei for a long time—is it really a good idea for you to bring me, your bodyguard, to cause trouble for my boss?
