You are all bad women! Don't come over!

The door was pushed open, and Catherine strode in with an imposing air.

She grabbed Shen Mochen with one hand and sneered, "Miss Liu, this man is mine, so there's no need for you to train him."

"You're right. I'm sorry, I overstepped my boundaries."

With a slight smile, Liu Chaoyan nonchalantly pushed Shen Mochen away and sat up, tidying her hair.

"Then, I shall take my leave."

Catherine dragged Shen Mochen away, and he stumbled back to his bedroom before being thrown onto the bed.

"Hey, can you show some dignity?" Catherine kicked off her shoes and stomped on Shen Mochen's face, "You like feet so much, haven't you had enough of mine? You're my man, and yet you let another woman tame you into a pet?"

"I'm not her pet!"

"Then lick my feet now!"

"I don't want to, I'm not anyone's pet!"

Catherine, furious, jammed her fair, pearl-like toes into Shen Mochen's mouth, "Then why did you submit to her, behaving like a dog?"

Shen Mochen argued loudly, "I didn't, didn't you see me resisting?"

"Your resistance was to angrily pin her down without daring to do anything?"

"What do you expect me to do to her, that would be a crime!"

"Nonsense!"

Catherine grew even angrier after hearing his response and pulled Shen Mochen up, "Tell me, do you want to sleep with her?"

"No!"

"Because she's your goddess?"

"It has nothing to do with that."

"Do you want to sleep with me?"

Shen Mochen was at a loss for words. At this moment, admitting his desire would suggest she was less appealing than Liu Chaoyan. Not wanting her, however, was out of the question since Catherine had the ability to detect lies.

"It seems I already know the answer!"

Catherine, having gotten the response she wanted from his silence, saw her snow-white skin turn pink with anger.

"I always knew you were a pervert, but I didn't expect you to be so twisted!" Catherine took a deep breath and gulped down a mouthful of water, "Tell me, what do I have to do to replace Liu Chaoyan and become your master!"

"I am no one's pet or slave!" Shen Mochen repeated.

"Hmph, I don't think I'm in any way inferior to Liu Chaoyan. Do you think less of me because of my young age? Don't bother denying it. Everyone looks down on me once they know my real age!"

Shen Mochen said earnestly, "I have never looked down on you because of your age, and you should be able to tell I'm speaking the truth!"

Catherine was taken aback, she could naturally discern the truth in Shen Mochen's words, which is why she felt upset and anxious. She had always assumed she held ultimate control over Shen Mochen, and though he might stray, he was still within her grasp.

What she couldn't tolerate was that there was someone else who was actually trying to understand Shen Mochen better than she did, attempting to contest her control over him!

This was her greatest challenge!

Catherine was silent for a long time before she suddenly left the bedroom and returned with a donut in hand.

"Eat!" she ordered, holding it out to Shen Mochen.

"I don't want it," Shen Mochen turned his face away.

"Eat!"

"I really don't like eating."

Catherine pursed her lips and threw the donut into the trash can, her tone ice-cold, "Fuzi."

A ghostly figure silently appeared.

"Watch carefully, if he dares to use his recovery ability later, break one of his bones." Catherine smiled slightly, looking at Shen Mochen, "I know you can reload at the moment of death, but I suppose you wouldn't want to experience the agony before death again, would you?"

Fuzi nodded calmly, her eyes turning a crystal clear wine-red color.

"What, what are you going to do?"

A sense of foreboding suddenly surged into Shen Mochen's heart. Although Catherine was smiling, her eyes were utterly cold, as if she were looking at a man about to die.

"Obviously, I'm going to do something to make you comfortable." Catherine said with a smile, lifting her foot and prodding the tip of her shoe against Shen Mochen's groin, "Take off your pants."

"Kajiena, don't joke like this..." Shen Mochen's face was slick with cold sweat as he chuckled nervously.

"I said, take off your pants."

A Light Sword slowly appeared in Catherine's hand. No one dared to doubt the sharpness of this sword; after all, it could slice through metal as if it were tofu, and creatures below Class A could be easily cut open by it.

"You, you're not thinking of using that sword on me, are you?" Shen Mochen's smile grew even paler.

"As long as you behave, I, of course, wouldn't want to hurt you."

Catherine's hand relaxed, and the Light Sword disappeared into the air. She sat down on a chair, leaning back and crossing her long, shapely legs, "Go ahead and strip. Don't you like my feet?"

...

"You broke up with him?" Xia Qingrou exclaimed, "Why?"

"I will not be his only, I might even become a burden to him..." Han Muxue pursed her lips, her voice tinged with resentment and a self-mocking laugh, "I've known this principle since I was young, that I can't depend on others. Others can't give me happiness; happiness is only in my own hands..."

"What are you... talking about?"

"I've thought about it for a long time. I did it on purpose. I know he pities me more than he loves me. Of course, I can understand. I can't think of any reason for him to love me. I'm not as beautiful as you, not as virtuous as Sister Cai, not as noble as the Princess... I have no figure, no special talents, I can't even cook... I'm a cripple."

"No, you're not anymore!" Xia Qingrou hurriedly said.

Han Muxue smirked, "It's the same, I'm still that cripple who can't stand up on her own."

"Xuexue..."

"But I want to truly stand up, I want to be truly independent, become a complete person!" Han Muxue took out a cellphone from her pocket and handed it to Xia Qingrou.

Xia Qingrou glanced at it; it was the registration page for "Nuclear Girl" Season Two.

"You want to... sign up for this?" Xia Qingrou was startled.

Han Muxue nodded gravely, "Yes, I must sign up. It's been my dream since I was little... Now that I have stood up, I don't want to waste this opportunity anymore. So, you can have that scumbag for now!"

"So, you're planning... to give up?"

"Of course not!" Han Muxue took a deep breath, then smiled, pointing at Xia Qingrou emphatically, "Listen well, I'm only letting you have Shen Mochen for now! Someday, I'll become just like you, a truly healthy and independent person! I'm going to be a beloved superstar, and then, I'm definitely taking him back!"

Xia Qingrou was stunned, staring at Han Muxue's resolute expression, as if she were seeing her for the first time.

"And also..." Han Muxue licked her lips, her voice growing fainter, "Did you break up with him before because you heard something at Sister Cai's doorstep?"

Xia Qingrou was once again surprised.

"Actually, at that time, I deliberately cried to Sister Cai... I wanted her to pity me, support me, I'm sorry, I was despicable... I didn't expect you to hear it, so that's why you broke up with him, right? I'm sorry, Sister Xia, I'm now off to seek my life, and you don't have to worry about me anymore, let's get going, we can't lose to that foreign woman."

Han Muxue wiped away her tears, then pulled Xia Qingrou's hand, "Let's go find him now, tell him about what happened then. He should be in his room right now."
