StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 30 Leah's Punishment

Do you think he saw it?

"Isn't it obvious?"

On the red velvet gift box, the shimmering pink cat's eye stone earrings sparkled in the light.

The gifts in his hands all spoke volumes—

They were discovered.

“I admit, he won this time.”

Ge Yuan limply placed her hand on her face, concealing her beautiful features.

"I never expected this old guy to be so cunning, actually knowing how to cater to my tastes! Next time, no, there won't be a next time! I'll make sure he's utterly disgraced in the book..."

Lying in bed staring at the dark starry sky pattern displayed on the screen, Shen Qingqing suddenly found herself unable to sleep.

However, when she was brought back, Ge Yuan gave her something, saying it was very effective for insomnia.

When Ge Yuan gave her the item, she said that the medicine could only be used temporarily, and that excessive use would cause physical dependence, so she could only give her one pill.

The small black pill in my hand looks similar to Liuwei Dihuang Pills.

After hesitating for two seconds, I finally put it in my mouth and swallowed it.

however.

Five minutes later, he was still staring wide-eyed at the ceiling.

She even considered asking Ge Yuan in person if the medicine was expired.

Otherwise, how come there has been no effect after so long?

Just as she was doubting the medicine's effectiveness, she heard a noise outside.

Peeking in, I saw several women walk in under the light, talking about something.

The space capsule has excellent sound insulation; you can see the outside world from inside the transparent soundproof enclosure, but you can't see inside from the outside.

So they didn't notice there was an extra person inside when they came in.

While contemplating whether to greet her, Shen Qingqing, who was trying to establish a persona, became somewhat drowsy under the influence of the medication.

I felt dizzy and weak, and lay on the bed.

The medicine is actually working now.

She hadn't even gotten a good look at the females yet.

Then, with eyes closed, they quickly entered a deep sleep.

One of the females outside noticed something was wrong.

The space capsule, which hadn't been inhabited by females for a long time, was now closed.

The leading female walked over and looked at the closed hatch, seemingly lost in thought.

"Leah, should we wake her up?"

A petite female beside him, who seemed to be underdeveloped, asked.

"Need not."

The female, called Leah, didn't move; she just stared at Shen Qingqing's bed.

After a long pause, he asked, "Isn't this Lillian's location? How come there's a female living here?"

One of the females said, "It was probably arranged by Ge Yuan. I heard she brought back a female today."

"But I heard that Count Selit captured it from somewhere else."

"Is she very pretty?"

"I don't know, there's no photo of her in the file."

"..."

The whispers were filled with curiosity about the new female.

Keep in mind that they have been living here for more than two years, during which time they have almost never had contact with the outside world, and naturally they have never seen any other insects besides the experimental staff and the specimens.

It's not surprising that they're showing curiosity about her now.

"Did the Earl bring it back personally?" Leah scoffed. "Quite the clever one."

Seeing that Leah was unhappy, the petite female beside her quickly spoke up, "Leah, you are the most beautiful of all the females. That newcomer, that earthworm from who-knows-where, is definitely not as beautiful as you."

"Yes, yes, even Count Selit praised your beauty!"

"Lia is the most beautiful female."

……

The endless flattery cheered Leah up considerably, so she took pity on them and let them skip their usual activities that night.

"Consider this a treat for you guys because I'm in a good mood."

"Lia is truly beautiful inside and out; no wonder the Earl values ​​you so highly!"

The speaker was a black-haired female with a beautiful face and a tall, slender figure that resembled an elegant antelope on the grassland.

Upon hearing this, Lia's eyes turned cold.

"What did you say?"

When she didn't answer, he asked again.

"Are you talking about Earl Selit?"

"Yes, it is."

The black-haired female didn't know how she had offended Leah, and stood awkwardly in place, twisting her fingers.

Her usual female sisters, who were on good terms with her, stood silently beside Leah.

It seemed that as long as they didn't speak up for her, Leah wouldn't take her anger out on them.

Lia approached step by step, her long pink hair swaying with her movements.

A cold voice came from her cherry-like mouth, "Since you like talking about the Earl so much, then I'll punish you by making you kneel behind the door and talk about it all night."

"Lia, what did I do wrong?"

The black-haired female was puzzled.

They always praised her like that before, and there were never any taboos about it.

"What did I do wrong that I need to report to Sister Lia? Who do you think you are!"

He kicked her in the kneecap, forcing her to kneel on the cold floor.

The stinging pain started in her knee and spread, and the black-haired female didn't understand why.

She had been by Lia's side for so long, and every time she had spoken well of her, she had managed to stay safe and sound.

Then she looked up at the female who had kicked her knee.

She remembered that this was the same female who had been bullied here before.

She was the one who stepped in to help her out of that predicament.

However, at this moment, the female she had helped ruthlessly and arrogantly humiliated her.

As a basin of ice water was poured over his head, he was dragged up, shivering, and thrown behind the door to kneel.

Leah, having had enough of the farce, yawned and said she was bored.

And that little follower just came up with another idea.

After whispering in Leah's ear for a while, Leah smiled and patted her face, praising, "I knew I was right about you, this method is great."

Then she was told to carry it out, while Leah sat on the edge of the bed watching the female whose hair was still dripping wet.

With each slap, his face became red, swollen, and bruised.

"That'll teach you to disobey, and to dare to have improper thoughts about the Earl!"

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

One slap after another, each one harder than the last.

Fearing that Leah would be unhappy, she slapped her with all her might.

All this was to please their young mistress, Lia.

The little girl who slapped the other was the petite female from the beginning. She slapped him so hard that her hand went numb.

But she couldn't listen until Leah told her to stop.

The consequences of angering Leah go far beyond this.

Finally, after the petite female's hands were swollen and blistered from slapping, Leah showed mercy.

"Alright, that's fine. Have her pick up the basin and put it on her head. Take it off tomorrow morning. Remember to kneel down properly."

Then he slapped his forehead, "Oh dear, I completely forgot it's already past midnight."

"Then keep kneeling there, and take it off tomorrow morning."

Then, she and her little followers went to wash up with smiles on their faces.

Behind the door, only the female, soaked to the bone with water dripping from her hair, knelt on the ground with her hands raised high.

However, Leah would not let her off so easily.

Before going to sleep, he didn't forget to ask someone to fill the basin with water.

Her slender arms could barely support her weight, yet as soon as she let go, the water in the basin above her head would pour down and spill onto her.

Such punishments are played out every day.
