A Woman's Competitive Streak

"And who is this short, wilted gourd?"

Sigrika and Lynae pointed at her and exclaimed.

Kexi quickly explained, "This is my sister, my sister."

"Oh."

Then the conversation shifted.

"Is it a biological child?"

Kexi subconsciously replied, "No."

"Oh--not a blood relative."

Kexi immediately guessed what the two girls were thinking.

He quickly added, "They're not blood relatives, but they're closer than blood relatives."

Hearing their words, Carlotta was speechless. "Who are you calling a short, ugly person?!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I apologize, Little Potato," Lynae quickly corrected herself, speaking instinctively.

Carlotta's expression had just calmed down a little when she exploded again. "Who's the little potato?!"

"Oh, sorry! Slip of the tongue! Slip of the tongue!" Lynae shrank back and hid behind Sigrika.

Before Carlotta could pursue the matter further, Jinhsi's voice drowned out the commotion.

She took a step forward, standing in front of the Pleiades ' human wall, her gaze passing over Luna's head and fixing directly on Kexi's face.

"Kexi, you have to give me an explanation today!"

"Yes! You must choose someone! Give us an explanation!" Juno also stepped forward and stood next to Jinhsi.

"Yes! You have to pay for deceiving our feelings!" Lynae shouted, peeking out from behind Sigrika.

Carlotta's attention was drawn back to the scene.

She looked at Jinhsi, then at Juno, then at Lynae and Sigrika, and finally her gaze fell on Kexi was cornered against the wall.

Her eye twitched.

I finally realized what had happened.

This is just like a fire breaking out in the harem.

Her younger brother, after writing love letters for so many years, finally chose to have his entire harem at his birthday party.

Kexi stammered for a long time, but couldn't say a word.

In this situation, choosing either option means certain death, and not choosing either option also means certain death.

Just when he was about to give up thinking, Luna jumped out.

"Stop arguing!" Luna's voice was shrill and bright, silencing everyone else. "Actually, the young master has already been bewitched by a vixen!"

"What?! Who is it?" The women were shocked, and their eyes all turned to Luna.

Without hesitation, Luna raised her hand and pointed to Phrolova at the edge of the crowd. "That's her!"

Phrolova was originally standing on the sidelines, enjoying watching the show.

Her fox ears swayed gently with her movements, and her expression instantly shifted from "watching a show" to "What the hell?"

She looked down at herself, then looked up at Luna, and then at the dozen or so pairs of eyes that had turned to her.

"Me?" Phrolova pointed to his nose.

"It's her!" Luna said, hands on her hips, completely unconcerned. "The young master spent the entire night in the same room with her! When she came out, she could barely walk!"

Phrolova's face flushed red instantly.

She wanted to argue, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she realized that what Luna said did seem to be true.

It's just that Kexi tormented her all night, not that she tormented Kexi.

The women looked Phrolova up and down.

A black halter dress, fishnet stockings, and a pair of white fox ears on her head—she looked absolutely stunning.

"What gives you the right?" Juno was the first to question her, her tone full of defiance.

Before Phrolova could speak, Luna answered for her, "Because she's sexy."

Phrolova's lips twitched.

"You—" Juno was speechless at her self-righteous reply.

Augusta couldn't hold back any longer, "Even if she's dressed like this, it doesn't mean—"

"Because she's seductive." Luna repeated, her tone certain.

"Dressed like this, it's truly indecent and disgraceful. Would Kexi like a woman like this?" Jinhsi frowned.

Because she's so provocative.

"Enough!" Lynae jumped in, "What's so good about a vixen like her—"

Because she's so provocative.

Because she's so provocative.

No matter what they said, Luna only ever said those three words.

Phrolova stood to the side, his fox ears drooping lower and lower, his expression changing from embarrassment to numbness.

She really wanted to call the police.

Just as the situation reached an awkward stalemate, another voice came from the entrance of the auditorium.

"Although I don't know what happened, I'm sure he likes a wolf-like girlfriend like me the most."

Lupa walked in.

Today she was dressed in a neat short outfit, her long hair tied in a high ponytail at the back of her head, looking both cool and wild, walking with a breezy air.

She glanced around the room, her gaze finally settling on Kexi, who was cornered against the wall, and a smile played on her lips.

This statement was like a match thrown into a powder keg.

"You're my favorite? You?" Augusta was the first to turn around.

"What do you mean?" Lupa raised an eyebrow.

"He likes me the most. He made it very clear in his letter that he likes mature and steady older sisters like me the most." Augusta raised her chin.

"You're talking nonsense! It's clearly me. He said in the letter that I'm his favorite person, and he dreams of sleeping with my legs as his pillow every day," Juno retorted.

The scene immediately descended into chaos.

Lupa's appearance completely disrupted the rhythm of the entire match.

"Stop arguing! He clearly likes me the most—a smart, capable, youthful, and romantic girl!" Lynae retorted.

"Huh??? Lynae, how could you do this?" Sigrika looked at her in disbelief.

Lynae spoke to her in a manner befitting a senior.

"Hmph, Sigrika, no matter what kind of jerk this is, or how things turn out, I must prove that I am the most charming girl."

Yes, it has nothing to do with anything else; it's simply a woman's competitive spirit and desire to keep up with others that's at play.

"Eh?!!" Sigrika exclaimed in surprise, then, as if infected by her, she clenched her fists and shouted defiantly, "I know, Lynae, I won't lose to you. He definitely likes girls like me who are innocent, cute, and persistent. He explicitly mentioned this in his letter."

"What?! Sigrika, do you want to be my enemy?"

The two locked eyes instantly, sparks flying.

"Superficial, you're all so superficial."

Lupa raised her chin high, interrupting them.

"A wolf-like girlfriend like me is exactly what he likes best. Not only can I protect him, but I can also give him a strong sense of security."

Then she pointed at Phrolova and scoffed, "A slut like her is nothing more than a toy."

Phrolova:...

She then pointed at Lynae and Sigrika, "You two are too superficial. What's the use of being naive and romantic? Can you give him a sense of security? I'm the ace gladiator of Septimont."

"What?!" Lynae was so angry she laughed. "Stop pretending to be all high and mighty! I'm an assassin, you know what an assassin is?!"

Lupa completely ignored her.

She crossed her arms, glanced at Augusta and Juno, and said smugly, "Lady Yu is still lacking in gladiator skills; only the Governor can rival me."

Then she glanced disdainfully at the others present.

As for the others... they don't even dare to speak, how could they be worthy of him? Let's not mention them.

Lupa's move directly stirred up a hornet's nest.

"What did you say?!" Jinhsi was the first to get angry.

A wild wolf that appeared out of nowhere dared to look down on her like that.

She took a deep breath, immediately displaying the authority of a prime minister, and spoke with great conviction.

"I am the Prefect of Huanglong Jinzhou, Sentinel. Forgive my bluntness, but among you all present, who has more status, more position, more power than me? Am I unworthy of him? Am I not worthy of his death?! I am worthy of him eight hundred times over!"
