Chapter 241
When the queen appeared, everyone at the banquet bowed their heads respectfully, placed their right hands on their chests, and bowed in salute.
Emily looked at the queen sitting in the first seat, a calculating look in her eyes.
She put on a flattering smile, took the initiative to walk in front of the queen, lifted her skirt and bowed deeply: "Thanks to the queen's protection, I was able to return safely from the front this time."
"It's just that I have been promoted for many days, but I don't even have a male husband. I remember that you, the Queen, once said that as long as I can appease enough people, you will match Norton Noel, Troy, Winter, Ivan, Sally, Grayson and others with me..."
Emily finished speaking and glanced at Shen Yinyin provocatively when she raised her head.
The faces of Troy and his group, whose names Emily called out, suddenly turned cold.
Shen Yinyin's brows were furrowed even more, but before she could speak, Tia, who was closer to Emily, couldn't bear it anymore.
She had never seen such a shameless person!
"Miss Emily, if I remember correctly, when you arrived at the Eighth Star Army, not only were you unwilling to appease those out-of-control male soldiers, you even insulted them many times, right?"
"When Miss Shen was so tired that she fainted and we were all busy, what was Miss Emily doing?"
"You are no match for Miss Shen when it comes to comforting. When the Eighth Planet was about to be captured, Miss Shen resolutely went to the front line of the war regardless of her own safety. But Miss Emily, you ran away before the evacuation order was issued, right?"
"You have not made as many contributions and efforts as Miss Shen, so how can you have the nerve to snatch these males who admire Miss Shen? Even if there is a match, it should be Miss Shen who makes the match!"
Tia's righteous speech made Emily completely embarrassed.
She stared at Tia, the corners of her scarlet lips curved coldly, and her tone was gentle: "Really..."
"You are a lowly C-rank female, what qualifications do you have to criticize me?!"
After saying that, Emily raised her hand and slapped Tia hard.
When Tia's friends saw this scene, they clenched their fists in anger, but they dared not and could not step forward.
Because in the empire, females have absolute say over males and genderless people.
But the strict hierarchy among females is like a mountain, enough to crush them and their small families.
Emily was pleased with the fear and trepidation on the faces of these lowly females, but she felt it was not enough.
Just as Emily raised her hand and wanted to continue teaching Tia a lesson, Shen Yinyin strode forward and protected Tia behind her.
"Emily, enough is enough."
Emily looked at Shen Yinyin's gorgeous face from a close distance, and jealousy grew in her eyes.
"Enough is enough? I am a double S-rank female, how can I allow someone of her lowly status to slander me!"
Hearing this, Shen Yinyin raised her eyes slightly, and sneered with a smile, "Double S?"
Emily looked at Shen Yinyin's strange reaction, and her heart skipped a beat when she thought of her fake double S identity.
And when everyone looked at the girl who had always been beautiful and gentle, her thin body, straight back, and arrogant look with a cold and sarcastic smile, she was dazzling and sharp, with a kind of strange and distant beauty.
Suppressing her panic, Emily challenged, "Why, speaking of Troy and the others, are you trying to snatch them from me again?"
Shen Yinyin's eyelashes drooped slightly, and her smile was cold: "All along, the one who snatched them from me...wasn't it you?"
"Emily, from now on, I won't give you any chance to take them away."
"Shen Yinyin! Even if you appease the most people, so what? It is a well-known fact that you are colluding with interstellar pirates! Who knows whether you have a share of the credit for the Zerg's capture of the Eighth Planet? As a traitor, what qualifications do you have to compete with me?!"
In fact, not many people knew the inside story of how Shen Yinyin and her friends escaped from the predicament, survived, and returned to the empire.
But many people still knew that space pirates had appeared on the front line.
So, Emily naturally put the blame on Shen Yinyin.
Shen Yinyin had heard the charge of treason many times. She looked cold and said, "It's like this again..."
"If I am a traitor, then what are you? A fake who deceives the emperor?!"
"Emily, you are not a double S-level female..."
Shen Yinyin's calm words made Emily feel like she was struck by lightning, and her face instantly lost all color.
She looked around fearfully. The scrutiny of everyone, the cold eyes of the queen in the high position... made her feel like she was being stabbed in the back, and her whole body was cold.
But Shen Yinyin continued: "Emily, you failed in your second advancement, right? That's why you framed Dalton when the queen sent him to help you consolidate your rank."
"Dalton is the empire's top physician. You are afraid that he will see through your fake double S identity, but you also hate that he is my husband. When you failed to seduce him, you bite him back and want to kill him..."
As Shen Yinyin spoke, she released her double S-level pure mental power, forcing Emily to reveal her true level of strength.
The black hair hanging by her temples was blown up by the fluctuating mental power, brushing against her red lips, fluttering and turning, making her eyebrows and eyes even more delicate and captivating.
When Emily was forced to stimulate her mental power, everyone clearly felt the gap between the two mental powers.
"So what Miss Shen said just now was actually true?!"
"Emily is not even a double S-level female!"
"How dare she pretend to be a top female?!"
"Is Emily's current level S? Why do I feel like she's so far behind Miss Shen..."
Although most people could not judge Emily's level of mental strength, their discussions, contemptuous, or shocked looks were enough to make Emily mentally collapse.
Emily couldn't take back her mental power. Her eyes were bloodshot, her nails dug deep into her palms, and she screamed sharply: "Shen Yinyin! You bitch!"
There was a crisp snap.
Shen Yinyin raised her hand and slapped Emily hard, "You are a lowly A-level female, what qualifications do you have to say that to me?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
When Tia, who was behind Shen Yinyin, heard this, she was not as shocked by the word "A-level" as others.
She only knew that the words Emily used to humiliate her were returned by Shen Yinyin in exactly the same way.
Shen Yinyin was defending her and venting her anger for the injustice she had just suffered...
Thinking of this, Tia's heart beat fast, and her eyes looking at Shen Yinyin's beautiful profile were a little moist and exceptionally bright.
Emily, whose true identity was revealed, had a distorted expression and wanted to kill Shen Yinyin!
Thinking of the glass of wine Shen Yinyin had just drunk, Emily's eyes became gloomy and she laughed out loud like a madman.
"Yes! I'm just an A-rank female, but so what?"
"Shen Yinyin, how good do you think you can be?! Even if I'm just an A-level female, I can still step on your head! I will always step on your head!"
"I will never let you have it easy! Hahahaha!"
Seeing the cold expressions of the men standing beside Shen Yinyin and Shen Yinyin's puzzled look, Emily smiled even more proudly.
"Shen Yinyin, is the glass of wine I carefully prepared for you delicious?"
