Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 222

Chapter 222: Chapter 220: Bai Su Teaches a Lesson with Her Skills

If she lost to Qin Nuo, she had no idea what kind of punishment awaited her.

And if she won... it wasn’t even certain she could leave Qin City alive with her people.

Lost in thought, Bai Su came up with a plan.

She took her shot, using a clever angle to set off a chain of collisions.

After a series of impacts, her balls slowly formed a blockade around Qin Nuo’s last remaining ball.

With Qin Nuo’s level of skill, there was no way she could get past those obstacles to sink her final ball.

Bai Su put on an apologetic expression. "Oh, I’m so sorry. My skills are just awful."

Qin Nuo’s expression was grim. She looked for an angle, any angle, but it was impossible to end the match with a single shot. She could only find a spot to break her ball out of the cluster.

Bai Su took another shot. The balls scattered across the table in a chaotic mess, a seemingly clumsy and artless display. Her own balls grazed the pockets several times but never quite managed to fall in.

Once the balls settled, the crowd realized it was more than just a missed shot. By some bizarre twist of fate, she had once again cornered Qin Nuo’s ball.

Qin Nuo was livid. She shot Bai Su a vicious glare and could only continue searching for an angle to break free.

Soon, the crowd slowly began to catch on.

Blocking the ball once or twice might be luck, but after more than ten turns of this, how could it possibly be a coincidence every single time?

Either Bai Su was freakishly lucky, or her skill was terrifyingly profound.

Bai Su focused intently on the table, completely unaware that on a distant set of steps, Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin were staring at her, their gazes unwavering.

Mrs. Qin looked to Mr. Qin. "What... what do you think?"

Mr. Qin frowned slightly. "She does look remarkably like us. But, my dear, have you lost your faith in the Beast God’s prophecy?"

"Even if our child were still alive, she was fated to die the moment she came of age."

At his words, the color drained from Mrs. Qin’s face. The pain in her heart was dredged up once more, and her expression dimmed.

Mr. Qin’s heart ached for her, and he pulled her into his embrace. "Don’t dwell on it. Haven’t we raised Nuo’er wonderfully?"

"Nuo’er is lively and lovely, bright and devoted. Her temperament is exactly like yours when you were young."

Hearing this, the color finally returned to Mrs. Qin’s face.

Her gaze fell upon Qin Nuo on the floor below, her eyes filled with pride and comfort. "Yes..."

’At least they still have Qin Nuo, don’t they?’

Qin Nuo’s presence had soothed the couple’s years of pain from losing their daughter. They had poured nearly all the love and guilt they felt for the child they’d lost onto Qin Nuo.

The game dragged on for over an hour.

Even someone as slow as Qin Nuo could tell something was wrong.

She only had one ball left on the table, yet she couldn’t sink it no matter what she tried.

’Anger boiled in her heart. She felt like a clown, being toyed with by Bai Su like a dog.’

’They must all see that Bai Su is a better player. They’ll definitely think she’s only holding back because she’s afraid of the Qin Family’s power and doesn’t dare to win.’

The surrounding whispers grew louder.

With every shot Bai Su took, hushed gasps rippled through the crowd, amazed at her repeatedly exquisite safety plays.

Qin Nuo’s grip tightened on her cue. She stared at Bai Su, her expression growing more sullen and grim.

On the floor, Bai Su was undoubtedly the most dazzling presence.

Her beauty, her composure, the effortless grace in her every move—she was relaxed, yet captivating.

She was like a scarlet rose blooming in a desolate ruin, effortlessly commanding the attention of everyone in the room.

Qin Nuo was about to go mad with indignation.

’She had to watch as the very people she’d hoped to impress had their eyes glued to Bai Su, paying her no mind at all.’

’Li Chenlin, Rosa Meiya, Wen Lan... even Xiao Yi’s gaze was fixed on her!’

Some looked with infatuation, others with admiration, and others with curiosity.
