Chapter 136: Chapter 89: You Can’t Even Take a Picture and Post It? What a Crappy Rule

No sooner had she posted it than several hulking Beastmen approached.

The man in the lead was Drake, one of the Contractors of Melorin, the heiress of the Beast Fighting Arena.

He looked at the beautiful girl before him, his expression turning grim as he spoke.

"Miss Liss, someone reported you for taking photos of Twelve and posting them on the Star Network. This violates the Beast Fighting Arena’s regulations. Please delete it immediately."

The Beast Fighting Arena had explicit rules: spectators were forbidden from taking photos, recording videos, or engaging in similar activities. Spreading any information about the fights was strictly prohibited. Violators would face the Mei Family’s unbridled retaliation.

Normally, when someone was caught red-handed doing what this girl had just done, they would be unceremoniously thrown onto the Beast Fighting Platform to become food for the Evil Beasts—a brutal warning to others.

However, this girl was no ordinary person. She was the young lady of the Judge’s House, the most distinguished girl in all of Uguria. They couldn’t afford to offend her, so they could only ask her to delete the post.

Being asked to delete the supportive post she had just made, which hadn’t even been up for a minute, greatly displeased Liss.

She lifted her chin and looked at Drake fearlessly.

"What do the Beast Fighting Arena’s rules have to do with me? Why should I have to follow them? What, are you telling me the Arena’s rules apply to me?"

Drake: "..."

"I wouldn’t dare. But Miss Liss, information about the fights cannot be leaked. It’s a rule of the Arena. If word of this reaches the higher-ups, you’ll be fine, but we will face severe punishment. Please, have a heart and don’t make things difficult for us."

"Fine, fine! I’ll delete it, alright? Can’t even take a picture and post it... What a stupid rule. Honestly..."

The kind-hearted Liss couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt when she heard her actions would lead to severe punishment for them.

After a few seconds of hesitation, she opened her Light Brain and deleted the post, muttering a complaint under her breath.

Then, she showed them the now-empty screen.

"It’s deleted. Happy now?"

Drake had just breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw she had over ten million followers on the Star Network, his face went even paler. He felt like he was about to faint on the spot.

"Miss Liss, you have *that* many followers?"

"Of course. I’m beautiful, kind-hearted, multi-talented, and have a wide range of interests. Isn’t it normal for someone like me to have so many followers? Why are you overreacting?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Seeing his strong reaction, Liss felt extremely satisfied and replied smugly.

Clearly, she was very proud of her follower count.

Drake: "..."

’So many followers,’ Drake thought. ’At the speed the Star Network operates, even though the post was deleted, it’s probably already been screenshotted, saved, and re-posted by countless people.’

"My lady, you’re going to be the death of us!"

Drake completely lost his composure, his face ashen as he shot back.

He then hurriedly contacted Melorin to report the incident, asking her to get people to intercept and delete all related forwards, saved copies, and so on across the entire Star Network.

Watching his retreating back, Liss put on an innocent expression and turned to the guard behind her.

"Leiant, why was he so scared? Is there something wrong with Twelve’s background?"

Hearing this, Leiant chuckled. "Miss, you’re far too naive."

’It’s not just the Silver Fox’s background,’ Leiant thought. ’Hardly any of the beasts in this whole arena were acquired legally.’

He’d long heard rumors of the Mei Family’s vile practices, such as illegally capturing Beastmen and forcing them to fight as if they were wild animals.

’That Silver Fox must be a Beastman they captured from who-knows-where.’

’A twelve-tailed fox is completely unheard of. He must have an extraordinary background.’

「Upstairs.」

When she learned what Liss had done, a flash of fury crossed Melorin’s eyes.

She grabbed the man’s short hair and yanked his head away from between her legs. He lifted his gaze, looking at her in confusion.

"What’s wrong, my lady? Was my service not to your liking?"

"It has nothing to do with you. It’s that fool, Liss. I have business to attend to. I’m not in the mood for pleasure right now. Just wait."

She opened her Light Brain and began issuing orders to a trusted subordinate.

The man before her remained kneeling. He pressed a kiss to her leg and asked with concern.

"What happened?"

Melorin briefly explained the situation to him as she continued to issue commands.

After hearing the story, the man smiled and soothed her in a hoarse voice.

"Don’t worry too much, my lady. One look at that Silver Fox and you can tell he has eastern genes. He’s a long way from our Empire. Besides, Uguria City is the Mei Family’s turf."

"Even if his family and friends do come looking, they won’t be able to stir up any trouble here in our Uguria City."

A powerful outsider can’t beat a local tyrant.

Even the queen of their own Empire has to tread carefully in Uguria City, let alone outsiders. Not to mention there are immigration control systems between empires, and the world’s crystal barrier.

Without an invitation, it’s not so easy for people from the East to enter the Leon Empire.

"You’re right, but we still need to be cautious."

’It’s better to be safe than sorry with this kind of thing. Anything that can be intercepted should be eliminated.’

After issuing all her commands, Melorin turned off her Light Brain and looked at the man before her, a sinister glint flashing in her eyes.

"That idiot Liss has been completely spoiled by the Judgement Family. Today she dares to openly defy our rules, tomorrow she’ll dare to openly ruin our business. She needs to be taught a lesson."

"Here’s what you’ll do. Take a few men, and when the Judgement Family’s people aren’t looking, grab her. Teach her a good, hard lesson."

Rosen: "..."

A flicker of hesitation crossed his eyes, and he spoke with apprehension.

"My lady, Liss may be a fool, but she’s the apple of the Judgement Family’s eye. If we move against her and they find out, they’ll be furious. They might even retaliate viciously against us. I fear things will get out of hand. Please, my lady, reconsider."

"Then can’t you just do a clean job of it and leave no trace? Don’t say any more. My mind is made up. Take some men and lie in wait for her now. That fool must be taught a lesson."

Seeing her resolute attitude, Rosen didn’t dare argue further. He could only accept the order and withdraw.

After he left, Melorin went downstairs to the Beast Fighting Arena.

The Silver Fox had only fought one duel today. Another brutal battle awaited it...

「Central City, Fifth Star Zone.」

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

During that time, Jiang Yunnuan spent her days on Cultivation, completing missions, placating Yan Chen, and teasing Ning Xiu, all while waiting for news from Fu Yuan and Ming Ye.

Ming Ye and Fu Yuan had returned several times, but they had come up empty. They hadn’t found a single clue about Si Xie.

Finding someone couldn’t be rushed, so Jiang Yunnuan had no choice but to continue waiting patiently.

Then one day, Jiang Tang suddenly sent her a few photos, along with a message.

"Sis, take a look at this Silver Fox. Does he look familiar to you?"
