’What an incorrigible fool!’
The mont he said that, Ning Xiu and Shen Yi gloated internally.
And Jiang Wanwan, as expected, grew even angrier. She slapped him hard again.
"Familiar? Heh. Is this the first ti you’ve seen her? What do you an, ’familiar’?"
’We’ve seen her so many tis, and he uses the word ’familiar’ to describe her? Does he really think I’m so idiot he can easily fool?’
"It’s just a strange sense of familiarity, like I’ve seen her sowhere before... Sigh, forget it. You wouldn’t get it even if I explained. If you’re angry, just go ahead and hit a few more tis."
After being slapped twice in a row, Bai Luo didn’t dare show the slightest bit of resentnt or defiance. He just pouted and gave up on trying to explain himself.
Even though he spoke very softly, Jiang Wanwan heard every word. Her face instantly darkened, and she clenched her fists tightly.
’From what Bai Luo was saying, it wasn’t just literal familiarity... Could it be a lingering feeling from his past life?’
’How could that be?’
"System, why did that weird mark on Jiang Yunnuan’s face suddenly disappear? Could it be that she was faking it all along to deceive everyone?"
’But what would be her motive? What would she gain from doing that?’
For a mont, Jiang Wanwan’s mind was a chaotic ss, and she couldn’t make any sense of it.
[Analysis complete. The mark on the female lead’s face is a Chastity Seal. A Chastity Seal requires the blood essence of a Beastman to be created. Therefore, it can be concluded that the female lead did not create it herself, but the possibility of her colluding with a Beastman cannot be ruled out.]
[A Chastity Seal will automatically break upon contact with the Primordial Yang of a different Beastman. The disappearance of the mark on the female lead’s face indicates that she has slept with different Contractors.]
Jiang Wanwan: "..."
’I never would have thought that ugly, strange mark was actually the legendary Chastity Seal.’
’That explains it. Jiang Yunnuan doesn’t have any birthmarks, so how could that weird mark just appear out of nowhere? I asked the system about it so many tis before, but it always said it didn’t know.’
’Now that the mark is gone, it can suddenly detect it.’
’What a useless piece of junk!’
"Then can you find out who gave her the Chastity Seal?"
[This pertains to a hidden plotline that the system has not yet unlocked. It requires the host to trigger it personally.]
’I knew this useless thing wouldn’t know anything.’
Jiang Wanwan reached up to rub her throbbing temples, forcing a smile as she looked at Jiang Yunnuan.
"Didn’t you promise you’d co to my birthday party, sis? Why did you stand up at the last minute?"
’Because that damn woman didn’t show up, all the drama I’d worked so hard to prepare was a complete waste.’
’This topic again? It’s been days. Is this Rebirth girl ever going to let it go?’
Jiang Yunnuan was thoroughly annoyed and snapped.
"Are you insane? What does your birthday have to do with ? It’s not like I gave birth to you, so why should I go? Did you pay an appearance fee? I didn’t think so. Then how dare you demand to know why I stood you up? And even if you had paid , I still have the right to refuse, don’t I?"
’Originally, my plan was to go to Jiang Wanwan’s birthday party if I had nothing better to do. I was going to stir up so real trouble, cause chaos in the Rose Palace, and make Jiang Wanwan regret ever inviting .’
’But who would’ve known that Ming Ye would get into trouble right then? How could I have had the ti to go cause a scene?’
’In that kind of situation, saving Ming Ye’s life was obviously the priority!’
Upon hearing her words, the expressions of everyone present flickered subtly. Only Jiang Wanwan’s face turned livid, a truly ghastly sight.
’This bitch. She really has a sharp tongue.’
"Not just anyone is qualified to attend my birthday party. I sincerely invited you ti and again, sis, but I didn’t expect you to mock and humiliate like this. I brought this sha upon myself."
Seeing her like this broke Shen Yi’s heart. He reached out an arm, pulled Jiang Wanwan into a domineering embrace, and glared angrily at Jiang Yunnuan.
"Jiang Yunnuan, you’ve gone too far! Wanwan looks up to you as a sister; that’s why she respected you enough to invite you to her party!"
"But what did you do? You agreed, and then you just stood her up! That’s completely disrespectful to Wanwan! And now, you’re humiliating her like this. You’re going too far! Do you really think you can just walk all over us? I demand that you apologize to Wanwan right now!"
The last few sentences, filled with threats, made Jiang Yunnuan laugh.
"Are you deaf? Your precious Wanwan already said she brought this sha upon herself. Do you not understand what that ans? She served herself up on a platter for to humiliate, so why are you blaming ?"
"Whatever. I can’t be bothered to waste my breath on you. You want an apology? Dream on. Unless the four of you get on your knees—all nice and neat—and beg , I might consider it. Otherwise, forget it!"
As soon as she said this, the faces of the four people opposite her instantly beca ugly and twisted with rage.
Bai Luo glared at her indignantly. "You damn woman, dream on! I would never kneel to you!"
"Oh. Then I won’t be apologizing either,"
Jiang Yunnuan replied nonchalantly.
"Heh. You can provoke us all you want, and it’s true, we won’t do anything to you. But aren’t you afraid of getting your Contractor involved?"
Shen Yi’s gaze turned sinister as he looked at Fu Yuan, clearly targeting him.
Seeing him pick a fight with the toughest person present, Jiang Yunnuan was instantly delighted. She reached out and pulled Fu Yuan in front of her.
"Mm, that’s a great idea. Absolutely brilliant. That’s right, if you have a score to settle, take it up with him. Just don’t bother ."
"Shen Yi, stand down."
Jiang Wanwan suddenly reached out, pulling the man beside her back. Her eyes were fixed on Fu Yuan, full of vigilance.
"Sis, your Beastman... I rember him being from the Feather Clan. Why does he have Sea Clan characteristics? Don’t tell you colluded with the Sea Clan to have soone impersonate him?"
Previously, her attention had been entirely on Jiang Yunnuan. Even though she had seen the obvious Sea Clan traits on them, Jiang Wanwan hadn’t paid them any mind.
It wasn’t until Jiang Yunnuan pushed Fu Yuan forward that she finally realized it.
’I’ve seen this Beastman many tis before. He’s not supposed to have Sea Clan traits.’
Seeing her suspicions, Jiang Yunnuan wasn’t flustered in the slightest.
"Impersonation? Heh, you’ve got quite an imagination. Why don’t you teach how an imposter is supposed to trick the Empire’s gene bank and assu a citizen’s identity?"
"The Human Clan and the Alien Clans have been enemies for years. Countless aliens have tried to infiltrate Human Clan territories to either work with insiders or simply create chaos."
"Therefore, to prevent this, the Empire’s gene bank has been upgraded to be incredibly powerful. Genetic verification is required for everything—buying or selling goods, entering certain places, or using the imperial network."
"It’s simply impossible for an Alien Clan mber to fool the genetic verification and impersonate a citizen."
Realizing this, Jiang Wanwan knew she had been reckless. Her expression soured, but she pressed on stubbornly.
"Then what’s with the Sea Clan features?"
"Sea Clan features? This is just makeup, all right? You’re wearing such exquisite makeup yourself, yet you can’t even recognize it? Fu Yuan, show her your wings, before she starts pinning phantom cris on us."
