Chapter 186 The Weight of Karma

[I’m so jealous of Scarlett’s personality. I’m the soft type–I hate that about myself. Sometimes I clearly can’t stand someone, and I know they’re talking trash behind my back, but I still don’t dare clap back.]

[Even Hazel knows Scarlett won’t give them the time of day–so how does Brianna still have the nerve to go over there?]

[Please give me a mouth like Scarlett’s. I want to roast the people I can’t stand too.]

Brianna was furious.

“Scarlett, don’t go too far. I’m just asking to borrow a little salt.”

Scarlett finally looked up, her gaze sharp.

“Or what? I’m not lending it. What are you gonna do about it?”

What could Brianna do?

She couldn’t out–argue Scarlett.

She couldn’t out–fight her either.

So she stormed off, fuming.

She went back to the stove and told Zayden what happened.

Zayden didn’t say much–he just couldn’t help glancing toward Scarlett.

It felt like every tragedy in his life had started the moment Scarlett showed up.

Back then … should he really have framed her that hard, just for a role?

Too bad time didn’t rewind.

In the end, their pot of fish stew still had no salt.

Once it was done, the three of them tried a bite.

They almost gagged.

Fishy. Bland. Nasty.

But their stomachs hurt from hunger, so they forced down a little anyway–then couldn’t finish the rest

Over on Scarlett’s side, she wove the shaved willow branches strips into fish traps.

Her weaving was so even and clean that the traps looked like handcrafted art

[Damn. How does Scarlett make a fish trap look this pretty?]

Chapter 186 The Weight of Karma

[No, seriously–this is delicate. You could sell that as a craft piece.]

Scarlett knocked out four or five traps in one go.

Finished

Once they were done, she dug up some earthworms, tossed them inside, then went to the lake and set every trap in the water.

That night, Ena didn’t go home either.

She didn’t want to.

If she went back, her father would beat her even worse.

So, she decided she’d stay at the school for the next few days and learn from Scarlett.

That night, all eight guests made do in the classroom.

This place was crawling with mosquitoes.

Scarlett, Selina, and the others had Scarlett’s mosquito repellent ointment, so they slept fine–aside from the benches being rock–hard.

But Hazel, Brianna, and Zayden had it rough.

Their anti–itch spray and mosquito repellent did nothing.

They got bitten so badly they could barely stand it.

In the middle of the night, Brianna even started crying in secret.

Hazel was regretting the show, too.

In the end, the director saw how miserable they were–worried they’d get sick and force the shoot to end early–so he lit a few mosquito coils near them, ones he’d bought at the little shop that afternoon.

Only then did the mosquitoes finally thin out.

The next morning, Scarlett was up at 5 a.m.

She cultivated for two hours straight. After 7 a.m., everyone else slowly started waking up.

Scarlett was already running her cultivation method.

It was a set of forms she had modified to suit her current physical limits.

Every morning, she did a full round.

This routine was designed to strengthen and condition her body.

This week’s filming was special.

Chapter 186 The Weight of Karma

The livestream was running 24/7.

A lot of viewers camped out in the livestream overnight and never logged off.

Finished

[Dang, Scarlett gets up insanely early. I was half–asleep watching the livestream–she was already awake, sitting cross–legged and meditating.]

[It’s 7 a.m. now, and everyone’s up, but she went outside and did a whole set. It looked badass. I tried copying it, and I literally couldn’t do a single move.]

[Holy crap, same. I tried, too. Not one move.]

More early–rising viewers started trying along with her.

Not a single one could complete a full movement.

[Does Scarlett have inner strength? So when she punched Hazel back then–even if she didn’t hit her face -she sent inner strength out, and that’s why Hazel screamed and kept saying it hurt. Did we blame Hazel for nothing?]

[No way. Inner strength is basically a myth, isn’t it? Hazel fans, don’t try to “clear” her name by hyping Scarlett up, lol. Though yeah–our Scarlett really is insane.]

A viewer named BigKidCalls Doggo typed in the chat.

[BigKidCalls Doggo: Inner strength is real. My grandpa is one of the top martial arts masters in the country. He says inner strength does exist, but it’s basically legendary.

[Anyone who can truly cultivate it is a once–in–a–generation genius. My grandpa has a tiny bit, but just a tiny bit–nowhere near enough to hurt someone with it.

[He says what he has isn’t even “pure” inner strength. It’s still at the beginner energy stage.]

BigKidCallsDoggo even recorded the clip of Scarlett training.

She didn’t send it to her grandpa–she knew the old man was in seclusion lately–so she sent it to her older brother instead.

BigKidCalls Doggo was a girl.

Her name was Tina Forbes.

Her brother was Quentin Forbes.

He was in the military.
