Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi

The actions of the couple naturally caught the attention of many people, especially since it involved a completely unopened tent. Immediately, several men rushed over to snatch it, crushing Dipul beneath them.

The Crown Prince Consort became anxious instantly and hurriedly pulled out the hat pin from her soft cap, stabbing it into the backs, waists, and buttocks of those men.

This sharp-tipped female adornment was also her legal weapon, deadly accurate, and would pierce a bloody hole when it hit, potentially lethal if it struck a vital part.

Due to her status as the Crown Prince Consort, she had to maintain elegance and decorum at all times, even in private settings without outsiders. Wearing an indoor cap also required a hat pin.

The wounded men groaned and rolled to the side one by one, and Dipul, who was almost crushed to death, successfully freed himself.

Breathing heavily, he hadn't had time to be dragged away by his wife when another group of women, the wives of those men, pounced.

Just like the Crown Prince Consort, they threw away their hats and clutched their hat pins, stabbing anyone they saw.

These high-status noblewomen, usually dressed similarly to the Crown Prince Consort, had to maintain propriety from day to night, so naturally, they also had hat pins. Seeing their men injured, their ferocious instincts were triggered.

With a few sounds, Dipul and his wife were stabbed all over by this mob of angry noblewomen.

"...Ah!"

The Old Queen screamed in shock upon witnessing this scene, and the children who were with their grandparents started crying and shouting.

The men and women, heated by the fight, came to their senses and scattered, leaving the heavily injured Dipul couple bleeding on the ground.

The Old King didn't say a word and directly fell to the ground.

The Old Queen was momentarily panicked, torn between her relatives on both sides, not knowing what to do as she was surrounded without any help.

The children ran to their parents, trying to pull them back, but they were all too young, the oldest not even ten years old, and couldn't move their parents at all.

People passing by were only focused on fighting for their own belongings, not even glancing at the wounded on the ground. Past affections disappeared as they accepted the reality of losing the country.

Lamouer, one of the Old King's mistresses, had already seized the tent and supplies she needed and watched the chaotic scene from afar, glad that she and her children hadn't been drawn in.

Baberti initially wanted to stay with her possessions to find help, but in this chaos, she also couldn't escape. Her carefully selected items were completely looted by other men and women.

She tried to stop them desperately, but her efforts were in vain. Ultimately, she was brutally pushed into the muddy ground by the water, covered in mud, with her frightened daughters crying incessantly beside her, their cries only adding to her annoyance.

While chaos reigned there, Ye Nai was making progress. All the warehouses were emptied by her one by one, but the six storage rings she found couldn't be placed in the Space, so she had to keep them in her pockets.

After finishing, she immediately left this Secret Realm, knocked out the guards outside the greenhouse, and took over the castle in one fell swoop, going through it room by room, taking everything she could find and completely clearing it out.

As for prisoners, she captured the Advanced butlers and Guard Captain in the castle, and tossed the rest back to the Selsa Kingdom in the Otherworld.

To be honest, using this method to deal with prisoners you don't want to kill or keep is the most appropriate—sending them back home.

Finally, she planted the national flag on the castle's flag platform, released a drone to shoot aerial videos, and then collected the flag and left.

She had only bought ten sets of national flags before her departure, which were all used up now and couldn't be left everywhere.

Returning to the Selsa Kingdom's Royal Capital on the Blue Star's southern hemisphere, chaos had escalated to civilian armed conflict, with bloodstained men, women, and children lying still on the streets.

Ye Nai appeared on the city wall, looking down indifferently, then sensed the spore map in her mind to check the current map's coverage, searching for the four large mercantile houses Dipul mentioned.

She had been busy elsewhere for several hours, and now upon returning, the spore map had indeed expanded and detailed significantly, with large buildings now detectable on the map.

Ye Nai used Space Teleportation to hop over and inspect each one, without needing to capture anyone to question. Indeed, there were four large merchant buildings, each bearing a mercantile sign, with phalanxes of their own private armies standing outside the gates, holding long spears outward, ready to kill any civilian who dared to try to rob them.

Civilians took detours, but Ye Nai did not. She teleported directly into the fourth merchant house and began from there.

Spores were sent to handle the Transmission Platform, while Ye Nai personally stripped the merchant house bare.

Thus, after a little over two hours, all four large Duke's mercantile houses were emptied, as clean as if the home had been moved.

The Transmission Platform was successfully transferred into the Space during this time and was devoured by the Space Fungus.

Feeling tired, Ye Nai returned to the East Ridge Secret Realm to rest and check on the condition of her newly captured prisoners.

So when she appeared in the distant wilds outside Town No. 2, the officers' camp still looked orderly at a glance, with tents set up in phalanx shapes.

Then she went to see the nobles led by the Old King and smelled blood as soon as she landed.

Ye Nai raised an eyebrow in slight surprise. She had deliberately weakened their physical strength before leaving so that they wouldn't have the energy to cause trouble beyond eating and sleeping, yet here they were, and she had underestimated them.

However, after a major riot venting their emotions, the former nobles of Selsa Country indeed had no strength left to move, not even to set up their tents, and everyone's looted belongings were left scattered in a mess.

Ye Nai walked around the periphery of the crowd and saw the wounded by the water. Dipul and his wife were still lying on the ground, bloodied, with their three children asleep on them.

No one was dead; the spores in the air kept every wounded person alive. Even those stabbed into sieves wouldn't die as the wounds inside had forcibly healed despite the excessive surface bleeding.

Even the former King, who was so angry he nearly had a stroke, lay well on his old wife's lap.

Not bothering to interrogate them for fighting and injuring, Ye Nai didn't disturb them, but raised her hand to place another restriction on everyone, incapacitating anyone who became emotionally unstable with two minutes of searing pain to calm them down.

Afterward, Ye Nai went elsewhere, setting up her Courtyard House, eating, bathing, and resting.

While washing her face, she looked at her reflection in the mirror; her muscles relaxed and expressionless, yet her gaze exuded a frightening aura.

Ye Nai felt puzzled. She didn't see blood when killing, how did she cultivate such a look?

She felt she needed to return home soon, to the midst of people to soak up some human essence, otherwise, the saying "war turns people into beasts" might just come true for her.
