Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 246

Chapter 246: Chapter 244: The Hard-Pressed Commander

Bai Su pulled a gemstone ring from her pocket. As the ring came into contact with the commander’s oppressive spiritual power, the gemstone suddenly unleashed a powerful spiritual power attack, shooting straight for the commander.

The commander’s pupils contracted sharply. He had no time to dodge and fell backward, face-planting humiliatingly.

"Commander!" everyone cried out in alarm, rushing to help him up.

The commander stared warily at the ring in her hand.

Bai Su nonchalantly slipped the ring onto her finger. "This ring was a gift from Lu Tingyan. It contains his spiritual power. He said he was worried someone might try to bully me while he’s away on patrol, so he left this to protect me."

A soldier beside him said angrily, "You deliberately brought something in here to assassinate our commander!"

Hearing this, Bai Su snorted with laughter. "That thing? And you think he’s worthy of my personal attention?"

The commander’s face darkened. He hadn’t expected this little female to be so brazenly arrogant. ’A classic frog in a well from the Imperial City.’

However, with Lu Tingyan’s spiritual power at her disposal, she was admittedly difficult to handle.

The commander took a deep breath. "Everyone, come in and sit down. We’re here for a meeting, not a brawl. I hope Miss Bai Su can also put aside her childish antics. We have important matters to discuss."

He framed Bai Su’s actions as childishness in an attempt to save face.

And as for not making a fuss about his humiliating fall, it was simply because he couldn’t be bothered to argue with a child.

Bai Su scoffed and casually pulled out a chair across the long table, then sat down.

The commander said to the squad leader at the door, "Close the conference room door."

Bai Su stopped him. "Don’t close it. This room has a stuffy old man smell. I can’t stand it."

The commander’s expression soured even further.

’So her opening the door earlier was deliberate? Was she just waiting here to humiliate them?’

The commander’s face grew increasingly unsightly. "Miss Bai Su."

Bai Su looked at him, feigning confusion. "Is what you wanted to discuss with me in this meeting some top-secret matter?"

"Your trusted men and my trusted men are both standing guard at the door. Are you still worried about leaks?"

"My apologies. Lu Tingyan never did things in such a sneaky way. You know how it is—he’s rather confident in his own territory."

The room fell silent.

The men in suits standing nearby couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.

They never would have imagined that even after the commander had made concessions, this little female would dare to push her luck, not giving an inch.

It was simply...

Utterly spoiled!

The commander said, "Fine. Leave the door open, then."

Only then did Bai Su reveal a faint smile.

Bai Ruxin, sitting beside her, couldn’t help but break into a sweat as well.

This was the first time she had seen such an aggressive side of Bai Su.

The Bai Su she usually saw at the Female Protection Institution was always smiling and tolerant of everyone. Never like this...

...so difficult and unapproachable.

A man in a suit next to the commander opened his smart device and projected a file onto the holographic screen. "Here’s the situation, Miss Bai. The shop you previously applied for—we have rejected the application."

Bai Su lifted her gaze to look at him. "And you are?"

The man in the suit choked for a moment, his expression turning ugly. "Hello. I am the minister of the Food Safety Department, Li Qiang."

Bai Su replied, "Oh. Hello."

"..." Li Qiang pushed up his glasses. "Your restaurant’s food safety inspection did not pass, so I must reject your restaurant’s approval."

He then listed a series of other problems, clearly having come prepared.

Bai Su listened quietly, her expression unreadable, but the light tapping of her fingers betrayed her impatience.

Li Qiang was still droning on.

Bai Su couldn’t listen anymore. "Enough!"

Li Qiang jumped, startled.

The commander shot her a cold glance. "You should really learn some manners, Miss Bai Su."

Bai Su smiled. "Of course, Lord Commander. Next time, I’ll be sure to study how to face-plant more elegantly, to avoid embarrassing myself in front of others."

"Insolent!" The commander slammed the table. "What is this attitude? Do you really think that just because Lu Tingyan has your back, we wouldn’t dare to touch you?"

Bai Su looked at them. "My attitude reflects your own."

"As for the authenticity of this document, we all know the truth."

Bai Su turned her head, staring at him calmly, but her eyes flashed with a terrifying light. "Why don’t you try it?"

In that instant, the soldiers and men in suits standing nearby couldn’t help but look on in astonishment.

They had truly never seen a female as fierce as Bai Su.

At this thought, a sense of revulsion and contempt surfaced in their hearts.

’She’s just a spoiled female, coddled by her Beast Husband. Does she really think she’s got what it takes?’

’She’ll learn her place once we tear down her restaurant tomorrow.’

The commander’s eyes darkened slightly. "Are you threatening me? I hate being threatened."

A squad of soldiers rushed in through the door, surrounding Bai Su completely and aiming their guns at her.

Kong Ji and Bai Ruxin quickly shielded Bai Su with their bodies.

Bai Su patted them both reassuringly and looked at the commander. "What a coincidence. I also hate being threatened."

In a flash, Bai Su moved. Almost no one saw how she did it.

A muffled THUD.

When everyone focused their eyes, they saw Bai Su with her foot on the commander, pinning him to the ground.

The expression on the commander’s face was one of utter disbelief, as if he had just witnessed the impossible.

"How is this possible? How could you break through my spiritual power Barrier and get to me..."

He was a White Wolf with Level 9 Spiritual Power!

To break through his spiritual power Barrier and kick him to the ground without him even noticing—it was simply impossible!

Bai Su scoffed. "Impossible? I find it pretty incredible myself. You put on such a big show, but it turns out you’re just a paper tiger, all bark and no bite."

She raised a hand and patted his cheek. His bushy beard felt scratchy against her palm.

The action and her posture were utterly humiliating.

The commander’s expression became exceptionally ugly.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

They never would have imagined that a seemingly fragile little female could be so skilled, or that she would have the audacity to pin their commander under her foot.
