Bing Shi lifted her gaze at Fu Lian’s father, “0,3% of our loot for a few sweet potatoes? Are they made of diamonds?”
Fu Dong coughed out, “0,3% is a fair price. My daughter is a rare plant user. Her worth is immeasurable.”
“You are right. She is precious,” Bing Shi nodded her head and glanced at the embarrassed Fu Qin, “Well, I’m not in a rush. I’m going to wait for a sister in law, who’ll give me sweet potatoes for free. You see, we’re living in hard times. I can’t waste nuclei on luxurious food. It would be unfair to my people. I’m sorry, we can’t accept your offer.”
Ziek clutched his stomach. Fu Lian looked down while Yi Zen pursed his lips, trying to maintain their poker face. Bing Shi’s stinky side was acting up. You want to take away her riches? Then, prepare to be stripped down. Nobody takes money from Bing Shi. She just used Yi Zen as a bait to get a free plant user!
*A few moments later.*
“??!” The fuming Fu Dong looked up at the high walls in anger. He just took the biggest loss in his life. He received no money. What’s worse, his daughter abandoned him for that woman in black!

Bing Shi showed Fu Qin around the base.
.....
Meeting a few men along the way, Fu Qin greeted them with a timid smile. They didn’t wear any shirts! Stealing a few glimpses at their well-toned and muscular chests, Fu Qin’s face flushed pink.
Noticing an innocent girl in a white dress, a few soldiers whistled out, “Is that Fu Lian’s little sister?” Such a feast to the eyes! As soon as a beautiful woman appeared, everyone puffed out their chest, wanting to gain her attention.
“Yes, her name is Fu Qin,” Bing Shi called out, “A new addition in our team. She is going to live with us from today onwards. I decided for her to be my sister in law, be nice to her.”
“...” The soldiers became speechless. Was this person playing house again? Great! They saluted at the new addition, “Welcome, Miss Fu Qin!”
Fu Qin thanked them with a smile, showing off her cute dimples, “Thank you. It’s nice to meet you all.”
What an excellent first impression. A complete opposite of Fu Lian! The men nodded in agreement, completely falling for Fu Qin’s charm.
Following Bing Shi, Fu Qin went inside her tent.
Bing Shi seated Fu Qin behind a table. Grabbing her tablet, she sat opposite of Fu Qin. After chatting for a while, she asked, “Did you come up with an idea of how to gain Yi Zen’s affection?”
Fu Qin lifted her chin in confidence, “Sending Fu Lian away is enough.” Since childhood, Fu Qin always got what she wanted. Not until Fu Lian appeared. She believed that if she got rid of Fu Lian, she’d get what she want, as always.
“Can you replace Fu Lian as our cook?” Bing Shi asked. It’s a rare opportunity for her to meet a Jelly girl. Girls who would somehow become ridiculously stupid the moment they fall in love with a man. Wondering how they survived until now. On closer look, Fu Qin was a little smart fox. But upon contact with the male and female lead, her mind became clouded.
“Isn’t it only food? What is so special about it?” Fu Qin scoffed in the inside, but on the outside, she showed a confused expression.
“Girl, listen,” Bing Shi supported her chin with her palm, “I asked if you can replace Fu Lian as our cook.”
“...” Fu Qin never cooked before. It’s other’s job to cook for her, not the opposite, “I’ll only cook for Yi Zen.”
“Wrong answer. You lost all soldiers. You get rid of their cook, and they’ll get rid of you,” Bing Shi tapped her pen on the tablet, “As of now, you can’t compare to Fu Lian in any skills. If you don’t want to end up as a laughing stock, never challenge Fu Lian. Ignore her. Though you are the exact girl Yi Zen hates, I’ll find a way for you to get closer to him,” noticing Fu Qian’s displeased expression, she asked, “Isn’t this what you want? Without you making any moves on Fu Lian, I’m giving you this great opportunity to seduce Yi Zen.”
“...” Fu Qin went silent. She didn’t believe that she couldn’t win against Fu Lian. The problem was, Fu Qin never came up with a plan on how to seduce Yi Zen. As her head was full of how to get rid of Fu Lian, she would probably use some cheap schemes to get a man. Thinking about it, Yi Zen would despise such a woman. “What type of women does Yi Zen like?”
Bing Shi smiled in delight, “Afraid? Well, you are right to be afraid. Getting rid of your daddy was your biggest mistake. Now, you are alone in this Lion’s den, with only me, as your support. Yi Zen’s type is...”
If it were before, Fu Qin would use her father’s connection to get Fu Lian kidnapped, then raped. Luckily, Fu Lian would always escape by a close margin. In a worst-case, to gain what she wanted, Fu Qin would even slut her way to success. But in this base, even if she slept with the soldiers, nobody would listen to her orders.
This was the first time Fu Qin felt so powerless. Like a mouse trapped in a cage, Fu Qin had nowhere to escape. If she wanted Yi Zen, she could only succumb to Bing Shi’s rules.
After a short chat, Fu Qin used her power to build up a house next to Bing Shi’s. Green thick veins sprouted from under the ground, creating a small cottage.
[Host, wouldn’t it be better to never meet up with Fu Qin? Or better to get rid of her? What if something happens to Fu Lian?]
Asked Kuro, who saw the situation through Bing Shi’s eyes. Floating in the air, a batch of people followed it in steady steps.
[“And miss an opportunity to meet a Jelly girl? Kuro, have some trust in our female lead. Fu Qin, this little bunny, should be the one fearing for her life. Oh, but I won’t let anything happen to her, don’t worry.”]
‘Not before I finish my experiments.’
‘These villain girls are like cockroaches. You kill them, and they’ll return as a vengeful ghost! No kidding!’
[Can I go home?]
[“Aw, do you miss me?”]
[No. I have to scan the base food of any poison. Fu Qin is a plant user. She can utilize her power to poison Fu Lian’s food. Host, I still can’t understand why you would let such a dangerous person in.]
[“Aw, so you were worried about me.”]
[Yes.]
[“You’ll understand soon. You can go home.”]
Without understanding, Kuro nodded its head obviously. It could only trust its host.
[“Kuro, we’re going to watch a show together. Which flavor of popcorn do you want?”]
[Chocolate.]
[“Ok ??.”]
