“Sister, I advise you to be sensible and hurry up and divorce your husbands, dissolve your partnership bonds. That way you’ll still make it in time for The Sanctuary’s opening ceremony and qualify for System Matching.
After all, if I hadn’t been abandoned on the Abandoned Planet by your beast father back then, the White Fox Clan’s resources would never have been funneled to you, forcibly pumping you—a Mental Power Grade C trash—full of rare treasures until you reached Grade A.
If it had been me, I’d have gone from Grade A to S at least,” said a beautiful woman in a white dress with a light laugh, but the jealousy hidden in her eyes never dissipated.
Hearing this, the five men beside her gritted their teeth in hatred. “Sui Ning, you’ve monopolized Yu Mo’s resources for eighteen years, and now you want to keep monopolizing us—males who should be joined in marriage with the White Fox Clan’s most powerful female?”
“Sui Ning, let me make this clear today: even if you don’t divorce us, I won’t lay a single finger on you, nor will I protect you…”
“…In any case, without the Beast Mark’s binding, if you die, all that happens is our Mental Irritability Value increases—and Yu Mo will be there to Soothe us!”
“…Be sensible and go study at The Sanctuary. With your current Mental Power level, the Beast Husband you get through System Matching may be mediocre, but he can still provide for and protect you. Why cling shamelessly to us?”
The pink wavy hair of the woman on the ground had begun to fade at the roots, revealing the original silver-white beneath; a face caked in heavy makeup obscured her true features; her emaciated body could no longer hold up the dust-covered red gown.
Her forehead had struck the corner of a table, and she felt no pain at all—only the itchiness of blood trickling down made her frown slightly.
“Shut up!” The words should have been fierce, but they came out weak and powerless.
The woman pressed a hand to her forehead as fragments of memory flooded her mind. Only after merging them did she understand, trembling all over—she had possessed another’s body!
The original owner was the daughter of the chief of the White Fox Clan, one of the five great families of Planet N7. With poor aptitude, she had been an unloved pitiful creature—especially after her sister Yu Mo was born and tested with Grade A Mental Power.
But at a grand banquet, star pirates attacked. In the chaos of escape, Yu Mo went missing, and from then on the original owner became the White Fox Clan’s only daughter, enjoying priority access to all resources.
In reality, the original owner was being force-fed growth on one hand while being squeezed dry by the White Fox Clan on the other—Soothing males in exchange for benefits for the clan!
Now that Yu Mo had returned, the original owner’s Mental Power had been drained down to Grade C-. With no more value to exploit, she had been locked up for three months, kept alive on a single bottle of low-grade nutrient fluid per week.
And just now, as the original owner collapsed from exhaustion, cracked her head open, and breathed her last, she—apocalypse survivor of over a decade—had seamlessly taken her place!
Not only the original owner’s memories, but even her common knowledge had been inherited.
Without waiting for the people opposite to explode, she pulled herself up by the table, cast them a cold glance, and said flatly, “Fine. I agree to the divorce!”
Affection was the cheapest thing in the apocalypse. These scumbags, body here but heart elsewhere—why keep them around for the New Year, just waiting to be stabbed in the back?
“You have to divorce us whether you agree or not…” the red-haired man roared irritably—then he stared at her in disbelief and dug at his ear. “You’re finally willing to divorce?”
The faces of the others lit up with relief, and their tones softened. “That’s more like it, Sui Ning. We practically grew up together as childhood sweethearts—let’s part on good terms…”
“Without the bonds of marriage tying you down, if you ever run into trouble in the future, would we really just stand by and watch?”
Sui Ning cut them off directly, slumping on the sofa listlessly. “I agree to the divorce, but there are a few conditions. If you can meet them, I’ll dissolve our marriage immediately. Otherwise, even if it kills me, I will never let go.”
Their faces darkened. “You’re not going to play hard to get again, are you?”
“Can’t you just live a good life? Why do you insist on fighting us to the bitter end?”
“I’m hungry. First, compensate me for the three months of High-Grade Nutrient Solution I’ve missed.” Sui Ning raised an eyebrow at their hesitant gazes and sneered. “Even a donkey pulling a millstone has to be fed. What, is the White Fox Clan so poor that it can’t even afford to feed its own female?”
Yu Mo pressed her lips together and tapped the Optical Brain on her wrist. A box of nutrient solution appeared on the ground.
Sui Ning picked up a bottle and gulped it down. High-Grade Nutrient Solution not only fulfilled the body’s nutritional needs and provided a decent sense of fullness, it also contained energy that replenished one’s Special Ability. The only problem was that it tasted as bland as water!
But even water was an extremely precious resource in the apocalypse.
After downing five bottles in a row, she finally felt comfortable and full of strength. Only then did she take out a sixth bottle, sipping it slowly as she looked at Yu Mo.
“Three conditions. First, I will sever ties with the White Fox Clan, and the clan will issue a statement confirming that the resources I’ve earned through Soothing males over these years are more than enough to offset the clan’s support of me.
Second, the resources the Interstellar authorities allocated to me must be paid in full—five hundred thousand Star Coins per year, and a new Star Car every six years.
Third, the divorce will follow proper procedure, and each of them will pay me one million Star Coins in compensation.
These conditions are quite reasonable, aren’t they? If you still think I’m playing hard to get, then it just means you’re unwilling to part with these trifling sums.
I want to cut ties with the White Fox Clan even more cleanly than you do!”
At this point, she gave a light laugh. “Don’t think I don’t know why you kept me locked up for three months but didn’t dare let me die.
Any female in the Interstellar realm who has reached the age of eighteen and whose Mental Power is rated C-rank or above must attend the Sanctuary to learn how to Soothe males and assist in combat.
Every female with Mental Power is a precious resource of the Interstellar realm. If one is lost, the Interstellar Court will go to great lengths to analyze the cause of her loss—the White Fox Clan of Planet N7 simply can’t afford that kind of embarrassment!
You also wouldn’t want me arriving at the Sanctuary Academy and being unable to hold my tongue, saying things that are true, would you?
For example, how you imprisoned me. How my dear younger sister stole my Beast Husbands. Or how the White Fox Clan has been squeezing me, a Weak Female, into Soothing people for them…”
Her words had put them—and the entire White Fox Clan—over the fire, and she had seized the initiative.
Yu Mo was so furious she nearly cursed out loud. Taking a deep breath, she lowered her head to communicate with the Clan Mother.
The current Sui Ning was merely a female with C-minus Mental Power—just barely qualifying for admission to the Sanctuary Academy. She no longer held any value; on the contrary, her very existence was a disgrace to the White Fox Clan.
Without the slightest hesitation, the Clan Leader agreed—though the statement was changed to a simple severance of ties, making no mention of the resources Sui Ning had earned through Soothing males.
Sui Ning wasn’t surprised. She had proposed her conditions fully prepared for a counteroffer. “At the very least, you could add a line stating there are no outstanding debts, couldn’t you?”
“So the moment you kick me out the door, you slam me with a massive debt, expecting me to keep slaving away for you?”
Seeing the complete statement released by the White Fox Clan, Sui Ning took a screenshot to save it. After receiving nine million in compensation, a Star Car, and five million in emotional damages from the five scumbag husbands, she promptly filed for divorce.
Hearing the crisp notification tones from their Optical Brains announcing the dissolution of the marriage and the restoration of their single status, the males were stunned for a moment. They had just been divorced like that?
Sui Ning didn’t even put up a fight?
They were all S-rank in Mental Power, young masters of their respective families, with remarkable achievements in their own fields—were they worth less than a few million Star Coins?
Sui Ning’s Optical Brain regained its signal.
She stored the nutrient solution into the space equipped on her Optical Brain, then waved at them. They’d have plenty of time ahead!
Sui Ning strode away without looking back, without a trace of reluctance—her steps were practically cheerful…
“Heh, she’s had it too easy for too long. She has no idea how treacherous people are out there. Without the White Fox Clan’s protection, she’d better be ready to get bullied at The Sanctuary Academy!” one of the males said coldly, rubbing his chest.
The other males also felt off, sneering, “She thinks The Sanctuary Academy is some cozy nest? It’s nothing but a place that devours people without spitting out the bones…”
Yu Mo curled his lips into a smile. “My application to study at The Sanctuary Academy has already been approved. Soon, we’ll be seeing our dear sister again.”
