Chapter 220: Not Even Lin Lang Can Save You

Yan Lan looked at them, a peculiar sense of pleasure swelling in her heart—

She knew that she had not only walked out of that little room that imprisoned her freedom!

But she had also stepped out of the low point in her life!

Starting from now!

She was ready to take off!

...

Though the women were filled with dread in their hearts!

The newly ascended Queen!

Still mustered up the courage and declared boldly:

"Yan Lan, are you planning to obey Lin Lang?"

"If so, then you are even less qualified to lead us!"

"Because this goes against the spirit of our Queen’s Hall—preferring death over submission to men!"

But upon hearing this!

Yan Lan’s lips curled into a cold smile!

She simply said:

"From the moment Lin Lang stepped in here that day, the Queen’s Hall was already in name only!"

"I no longer need that weak and incompetent Queen’s Hall that could be manipulated by others!"

"What I want to build now is the Yama Hall!"

"A place where I, Yan Lan, command!"

...

Her voice echoed in the vast hall!

The women looked at Yan Lan, their eyes brimming with shock!

Although Yan Lan had lost her superpower at this time!

The aura she exuded was even more powerful than before!

They all knew well—

Yan Lan was rising back to power!

So!

Finally, a woman kneeled—

It was Xiaoling!

She had just been anxious about breaking the rules of the Queen’s Hall!

Now that the power of the Queen’s Hall had been overturned in an instant!

It was the perfect time for her to redeem herself!

She decisively knelt down and shouted loudly:

"Congratulations to the Queen! Xiaoling swears to be loyal unto death and never betray! If I break this vow, may I die a terrible death!"

Upon seeing this!

The rest of the women also gradually knelt towards Yan Lan!

Shouting in unison:

"Congratulations to the Queen! We swear to be loyal unto death and never betray! If we break this vow, may we die a terrible death!"

There was no choice!

They had betrayed Yan Lan once before!

So, they had to swear with heavier promises!

To earn Yan Lan’s trust!

...

And Yan Lan.

Actually didn’t care whether the women’s vows were sincere or not.

If they violated their vow in the future, it didn’t necessarily mean they would die a terrible death.

This realization was what she gained from her experience this time—

Loyalty!

Camaraderie!

Feelings!

All were false!

Only her own strength was real!

As long as she was strong enough!

She wouldn’t have to worry about the betrayal of those around her!

Lin Lang!

Was the best example!

...

Therefore!

Faced with the women’s demonstrations, Yan Lan’s reaction was very calm.

She merely responded lightly:

"Hmm."

...

Except for the new Queen!

She knew deep down that Yan Lan’s trust in her had completely disappeared!

She was already at a dead-end—

The collective betrayal of Yan Lan by the Queen’s Hall this time!

Although collectively they would not be held accountable by the law!

But she was the leader of them all!

The others might not face any punishment.

But she could not escape no matter what!

She could only go all the way!

Yet!

Surveying her surroundings at this moment!

She found!

That behind her was already empty!

A wave of sorrow swept over her heart.

Yet she couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile:

"So, this is what it feels like to be betrayed?"

Yan Lan looked at her coldly.

Without saying a word!

However!

The woman’s eyes turned ruthless, and she cursed viciously:

"Yan Lan! Even if you side with Lin Lang, it’s useless!"

"Do you really think he’s all-powerful?"

"You’ve already lost your strength! No one can save you! Not even Lin Lang!"

"Your era is over, Yan Lan!"

...

Upon hearing this, Yan Lan remained calm:

"Then just wait and see!"

Lin Lang...

He can definitely do it!

Though deep in her heart, Yan Lan had no affection for Lin Lang!

One might even say she absolutely loathed him!

But!

She also had to admit that Lin Lang’s strength was indeed formidable—

Her prideful superpower and the Queen’s Hall she had managed for so long!

Before Lin Lang!

Were as fragile as an ant!

Just how powerful was Lin Lang’s true strength?

Yan Lan dared not speculate rashly!

However!

In this world where strength reigns supreme, power is everything!

Now that Yan Lan has decided to obey Lin Lang!

The stronger Lin Lang is!

The more benefits there are for Yan Lan!

...

At this moment.

Yan Lan said to her subordinates:

"Go release Shen Chuchu."

"Then prepare hot water, clothes, and food!"

"Get this place cleaned up!"

"Prepare to welcome Lin Lang!"

...

"Yes!"

The women hurriedly responded!

Then they all scattered in a rush and went to carry out their tasks.

...

And here, there was only the woman left.

She remained silent for a long time.

Seeing that Yan Lan didn’t seem to have further actions!

She frowned and asked:

"You’re not going to kill me?"

But Yan Lan calmly said:

"You are still useful to me."

After all!

With Lin Lang as her backing!

Yan Lan knows these women will no longer dare to betray her!

Since that’s the case!

Why waste manpower?

Upon hearing this!

The woman was momentarily stunned, then finally knelt down, kowtowing:

"Thank you, Queen, for sparing my life!"

"I momentarily lost my mind and made a huge mistake!"

"From this day on! I will serve the Queen with utter dedication, willing to die a thousand times!"

As for Yan Lan.

Regarding the woman’s expression.

She merely responded indifferently:

"Hmm."

...

Xingfu District!

Building C, Unit 1, Room 2102!

At this moment, Lin Lang was lying on the bed, holding Lü Su Ran in his arms.

Lü Su Ran’s long hair gently draped across Lin Lang’s chest.

Her fingers slowly traced circles on Lin Lang’s chest.

She spoke in a coquettish tone:

"Lang, will you love me forever?"

Lin Lang said:

"I will."

Lü Su Ran pressed further:

"No matter what, you’ll love me?"

"Yes."

"What if I turned into a caterpillar, would you still love me?"

"Absolutely."

"What if I grow old?"

"..."

Lin Lang found himself unable to answer.

He wanted to say, "I will age too," but then he suddenly remembered—

During his Sixth Enhancement, he awakened a "Super Self-Healing" ability!

Making him virtually ageless and immortal!

So he won’t age!

Saying that might actually lead to a future scenario where—

All of Lin Lang’s women grow old

but Lin Lang still looks like a young handsome guy!

What to do then?

However, there will always be eighteen-year-olds in the world.

Lin Lang would never be lonely.

So he said:

"Don’t worry. I’ll find a way to keep you as beautiful as ever."

...

At this moment!

The phone Lin Lang had on his nightstand rang.

He picked it up and took a look.

To find it was a message from You Dali:

[Sir! Yan Lan said she wants to see you!]

"Oh?"

A trace of amusement flashed in Lin Lang’s eyes—

It seems!

The once formidable Yan Lan Queen couldn’t hold back any longer!

However.

Yan Lan did last quite a while!

In this respect!

She slightly exceeded Lin Lang’s expectations!

Lü Su Ran also saw this message.

She lifted her head slightly, looking at Lin Lang with curious eyes:

"Are you going to see that woman?"

She hasn’t met Yan Lan, though.

But from the stories of Leng Wei, Ding Xinyi, and the others,

Yan Lan’s name was known far and wide!

Lin Lang smiled softly and pinched Lü Su Ran’s cheek:

"No rush, little darling!"

"She’s not someone important, so she can wait awhile!"

Hearing Lin Lang call her "little darling," Lü Su Ran’s cheeks turned red instantly!

Is this her exclusive nickname?

Among all the sisters, she seemed to be the first to have a personal nickname!

Does this mean that she holds a special place in Lin Lang’s heart?

...

Lin Lang looked at Lü Su Ran even more tenderly.

He kissed her forehead lightly.

Then he pulled the blanket back up, covering them both under it!
