Tian Shan finally managed to shake off Weaver's psychic attack. Struggling to her feet, she took a small case from the side, opened it, and began to wash up and apply makeup.
After all, for a woman, no matter the situation, makeup was always necessary.
Weaver watched with a hint of jealousy as Tian Shan carefully packed away the bottles and jars like treasured items, then asked sourly,
"Did that man give you these things?"
"Li took them out yesterday and said I could use them for now," Tian Shan said with a smile, never mentioning that she had been forced.
As a modern woman born in Hong Kong and raised in the United States, Tian Shan didn't think sleeping with a man was a big deal.
Weaver's constant nagging in her ear was far more unbearable.
"Osborn Group? How come I've never heard of this brand?" Weaver casually picked up a bottle of moisturizer and squeezed out two drops.
"This is custom-made. I hadn't heard of it before either." Tian Shan unceremoniously snatched the bottle back and returned it to its box.
This cosmetic set had been custom-ordered directly from the Osborn Group by Jill. Li Qingyuan held tens of millions of shares in Osborn, making him at least a minor shareholder. Asking the company to customize a few cosmetic sets was trivial.
Feeling the silky moisture on the back of her hand, Weaver felt as if she had swallowed a fly.
Just moments ago, she had thought Tian Shan was a victim. But now?
She was clearly a winner in life.
Comparing the two, Weaver had slept on a pile of straw in a hut the night before, while Tian Shan had slept on an inflatable mattress with full bedding. Weaver hadn't even had a scrap of cloth.
Weaver had washed her face with plain water, while Tian Shan owned a full set of expensive-looking cosmetics.
Even though she'd never heard of the Osborn brand, the exquisite packaging and the texture on her skin made it obvious that the set cost at least several years of her income.
As the saying went, no matter how ugly a man was, as long as he had money, some woman would think he looked handsome driving a Ferrari one-handed. Li Qingyuan was fairly handsome, and with his mysterious background and generous spending, Weaver suddenly felt the air in the room reeked of decay.
'Shameless little bitch!' she cursed silently, blacklisting Tian Shan in her heart. This woman had no sense of shame, abandoning female dignity to please a tyrant—an absolute disgrace to women.
'Disgusting ugly woman!' Tian Shan sensed the shift in Weaver's attitude and silently blacklisted her in return. As a woman, how could she not know what the other was thinking?
Weaver had approached her from a superior, charitable position, pitying her. But after seeing Tian Shan living far better, her mentality collapsed instantly.
Tian Shan had seen this kind of jealousy turn into hatred many times.
Her family in Hong Kong could barely be considered wealthy. Besides her mother, her father had eight concubines. Weaver's petty tricks wouldn't have lasted three days in her household.
"Little Sister Shan, what's the point of dressing up so beautifully now? If that tyrant sees you like this, won't he just get more ideas?"
"Sister Weaver, wasn't it you who advised me just now? A woman must be independent and strong. I can't give up on myself because of something like this. Putting on makeup gives me energy—a fresh new outlook," Tian Shan replied.
Even though they secretly despised each other, they still addressed each other affectionately as sisters. Anyone watching would think they were truly close.
"Whoosh—"
While the two women were engaged in their silent battle, strange commotion sounded outside.
They stopped immediately and walked out together.
All the natives had come out of their dwellings, standing excitedly on both sides. In the central clearing lay a massive python over forty meters long.
Luck was good today—or perhaps Skull Island's ecosystem was simply too rich. Less than ten minutes after setting out, Li Qingyuan had found this Titan python.
A forty-meter python on Skull Island wasn't a top predator, but it was still a second-tier beast. It couldn't compare to Kong, but ordinary predators wouldn't dare provoke it.
In the past, if the natives encountered such a python, they would flee immediately. Anyone too slow would end up in its belly.
The snake was as thick as a water tank. The natives' weapons could barely pierce its scales. When they discovered it, they immediately prepared to scatter.
But before they could even carry the Divine Envoy away, someone stepped forward, tapped casually twice, and the python's head exploded off.
Even so, a snake could survive half an hour after losing its head before truly dying. Carrying the carcass back took even more time; otherwise, the hunting party might have returned before Weaver had even entered the house.
Yesterday, the natives had respectfully called Li Qingyuan the Divine Envoy because he displayed supernatural power. To people trapped on Skull Island, whether he was truly a god didn't matter—strength was enough.
But now, from top to bottom, they truly recognized him as divine.
Kong might be their guardian god, but he didn't bring them food.
If Kong killed prey, he ate it himself as a snack. He wouldn't throw it to the natives.
Now, Li Qingyuan ordered Conrad to cut the best parts of the python to make snake soup. With a wave of his hand, he declared the rest of the meat would be distributed to the natives.
Every household was as happy as if celebrating the New Year—if they even had such a concept.
The python, though over forty meters long, weighed less than two tons. With so many people, each person received less than half a kilogram of meat. But for those living on the edge of starvation, having meat at all was happiness beyond measure.
"Li, you're back!" Seeing Li Qingyuan return, Tian Shan ignored her sore waist and legs and hurried forward to greet him.
'Shameless!' Weaver spat silently behind her. A disgrace to women.
