In reality, Mira stared at the latest intel with both shock and disbelief written across her face. Although the Black-hearted Princess always seed suspiciously like soone running cheats, she would never be stupid enough to use them so openly.
Besides, with her strength, she did not even need to raise her level to easily crush the global player base. So why bother doing sothing so pointless and expose herself?
The fact that the other party suddenly shot up ten levels made Mira feel that sothing was definitely off.
“Could she have triggered so sort of special chanism?” Based on the intelligence Mira had gathered, there were indeed people who gained benefits through certain special chanics in the ga.
She herself had obtained quite a few benefits that way. That was exactly what an intelligence agency was for.
“No matter what, I need to push harder, or I’ll be left far, far behind!” Thinking about how she was only level 29 gave Mira a headache.
At this mont, not many people were thinking along the sa lines as Mira. Most of the mainstream players, along with so who simply enjoyed watching drama, had been doubting since launch that the Black-hearted Princess only achieved her power through cheating.
And now, they finally had ‘solid proof.’
The mont Rakshasa logged in, she was imdiately pulled into a chatroom. Naturally, the topic was this incident.
Nangong Lin: These people are literally jealous to the extre.
Mylene: Right? Big Sis saved so much EXP. Once she broke through the zone’s level cap, getting to level forty isn’t strange at all.
Sachiel: So many sour little lemon spirits.
Little Fairy: If Princess were really using cheats, a single stomp from her would probably reduce them to dust.
Yunuen: Where do you even buy cheats for this ga? I urgently need one!
Pixie: I don’t think this ga could possibly have cheats.
Rakshasa: Hehe.
Nangong Lin: What are you laughing at?
Rakshasa: Secret.
Sachiel: Rakshasa, you’re so an. You spark our curiosity and then refuse to say anything!
Yunuen: If I rember correctly, Rakshasa and Princess were both beta testers. Don’t tell there’s really sothing hidden?
Rakshasa: I’m not telling you. That’s sothing between and Princess~
Pixie: Wait…don’t tell there really is a cheat?
Little Fairy: Shocked!
Rakshasa: No. We beta testers just had a slight advantage in the Novice Village, that’s all.
Nangong Lin: True. Twenty-four hours of beta testing wasn’t even enough to do anything.
Yunuen: …
Rakshasa: …
Nangong Lin: Why aren’t you two talking?
Sachiel: Auntie, did you forget everything Princess did in the Novice Village?
Nangong Lin: …Ahahaha, I almost forgot. My mind is full of all the wonderful mories I made with Princess.
Awww, how I wish to join up with Princess soon!

When those words ca out, everyone except Yunuen and Little Fairy felt the sa way.
Right after that, their conversation shifted to the progress of their various quests, and the matter of Yae-hi supposedly cheating was promptly thrown to the back of their minds.
On the Linhnan server’s forum, there were at least eight to ten thousand posts condemning the Black-hearted Princess. Each one read like the rant of a resentful woman.
And among them, jealous “lemon spirits” were practically everywhere. Posts like “Give cheats and I’ll be number one too” alone numbered in the thousands. That sour, acidic sll practically seeped through the virtual screen.
Of course, there were also posts defending Yae-hi, but they were imdiately drowned out by mobs of users. Labels like “paid shills,” “fifty-cent posters,” and “bootlickers” were slapped onto them without rcy.
Soon enough, posts of that sort vanished in the endless sea of threads. Even so well-reasoned analytical posts were accused of being attempts to “whitewash” her.
More often than not, people carried their own biases and only believed the version of events they wanted to believe, not the real truth. And once sothing contradicted their preconceived notions, they would erupt and attack as a group.
This phenonon was widespread on the internet, and naturally it remained the sa within the ga. Strangely enough, while players all over the world were making a fuss, the system released no announcents at all. Not even a single notification chi.
Anyone with launch-day experience knew that the beta-tester incident had caused a massive uproar too. And in the end, everyone had benefited from it. So among the players stirring up noise now, a portion of them were doing it for the rewards.
As for the cheating accusations, they would sooner believe in ghosts. After all, this ga was backed by the Five Great Nations, who would dare cheat, and who could even cheat?
Compared to the brainless majority, these players viewed the situation more calmly and simply hoped they could obtain so perks out of the commotion. However, their hopes were dashed. The system did not respond to them at all.
They were disappointed, so disappointed that it went far beyond anything ordinary. So initiators suggested making an even bigger fuss. Unfortunately, not many people supported it. After all, pushing things too far would only cause trouble. And who among normal people wanted to wade into such muddy waters?
Even so, without anyone deliberately fanning the flas, the heat of the incident continued to rise. Before long, news outlets across the world were plastered with headlines about a cute gar girl suspected of cheating.
Yae-hi knew none of this. And even if she had known, she would not have bothered to care. If people wanted to be sour, what could she do, refuse to let them be sour?
In truth, she really had activated a “future cheat.” But it was sothing she had traded her life to obtain. For every gain, there must be a loss. Besides, she was barely holding onto her male body as it was.
At this mont, Alicia had already dressed and was sitting on the bed, while Lili and Yae-hi sat on the chairs opposite her. Yae-hi sat on the chair; Lili sat on her lap, leaning her back against her breasts.
No, more accurately, her head was resting on it. Since she did not have her own, she was content to experience soone else’s. A faint curve lifted the corner of Lili’s lips.
After a brief cooldown period, both her and Alicia’s emotions had cald. As though nothing had happened at all. But if one looked closely at their eyes, they would notice an unnatural redness lingering there.
“I don’t really know what to say, but…,” Alicia finally broke the silence. “This ti, I truly owe you. Without you, I would’ve died.”
She knew very well what state her body had been in before she lost consciousness. It had been pushed to its absolute limit. If she had not managed to purge the earth energy from her body, even if she were revived, she would have ended up a cripple. She certainly would not be sitting here speaking like this.
“Why are you being so polite? Your problems are my problems,” Yae-hi replied with a calm smile.
Hearing that, Alicia froze for a mont before smiling back. “I suppose I was being a little too formal. Prin—right, I’ve always wanted to know your real na. Can you tell now?”
At those words, Lili lifted her head to look up at Yae-hi, her face filled with curiosity.
“Yae-hi.” If this had been earlier, Yae-hi would not even have known how to answer. After all, back then, her female form had not even had a na.
“Yae-hi… it’s a lovely na. It suits you perfectly,” Alicia said with a gentle smile.
“Yae-hi… then I’ll call you Little Hi from now on,” Lili said cheerfully, leaning a bit more firmly against her breasts.
“As long as you’re happy,” Yae-hi replied helplessly. Why did everyone prefer to shorten her na? Was Yae-hi so hard to say?
“Little Hi.”
“I’m here.”
“Little Hi.”
“Yes.”
“Little Hi, Little Hi, Little Hi.”
“…” Yae-hi fell silent. This little brat was definitely playing around with her nickna!
“Back to the main topic. Alicia, I think the thod you used to recover your strength has serious issues.” She shot Lili a glare, then turned to Alicia to steer the conversation back.
“Is there a problem? I just followed the thod passed down by my ancestors,” Alicia said in confusion.
“Most of your ancestors were n, weren’t they? You know very well that n and won have very different bodies. What’s suitable for a man isn’t necessarily suitable for a woman. Your recovery thod is far too rough. You need to be more delicate.” Yae-hi succinctly pointed out the core issue.
Hearing that, Alicia suddenly understood. “No wonder… If I hadn’t absorbed the earth energy so roughly, none of that would have happened!”
“It’ll be difficult for you to change your thod right away. How about I help you instead?” Yae-hi offered the suggestion.
