As various marketing accounts sensationalized the story, online rumors about the dangers of Bai Su’s food became more and more outrageous.
Bai Su’s fans quickly launched a counterattack, but it wasn’t very effective.
People are often like that, more willing to believe in malicious intent and quick to assume the worst of others online.
No matter how much Bai Su’s fans tried to explain, no one believed them.
Besides, compared to the "scientific research" published by the official food safety department, the explanations from Bai Su’s fans seemed much weaker, more like blind devotion.
When Bai Su saw this news, she wasn’t actually very surprised.
Although it didn’t seem to be a direct order from that commander, he was definitely involved behind the scenes.
However, they had the food safety bureau, and she, naturally, had her own backer.
Bai Su went to find Yelias.
He was in his lab conducting research, with Li Yue and others assisting him.
When Li Yue saw Bai Su enter, a flicker of guilt crossed her eyes.
She had just managed to put Yelias off; she didn’t want to expose herself now because of any trouble with Bai Su.
Bai Su had no time to deal with her at the moment.
She got straight to the point and told Yelias about what was happening online.
Flar, who was standing nearby, listened with righteous indignation. "Those bastards! Do they really think there are any good people in the food safety department?"
"The additives and preservatives in canned food and nutritional supplements are the real silent killers!"
"The females are getting weaker with each generation, and they’re being fed this stuff! Are they stupid? How can they not see that and still trust the food safety bureau?"
Yelias quickly got up to speed on the public opinion online.
He discussed it with Bai Su, and they jointly issued a new announcement.
The announcement explained the Lanton Family’s latest research.
The research focused primarily on Bai Su’s food.
In short, the content was the complete opposite of what the marketing accounts had posted, and they published all the food-based nutritional data.
Bai Su also recorded a video to counterattack, explaining why the females at her shop came to work there.
With the Lanton Family and Bai Su stepping forward, her fans and customers finally had the confidence to stand up and refute the claims.
The females were mostly the ones who were especially passionate.
[See? Who would you rather believe, the food safety bureau or the Lanton Family?]
[I’ve been wanting to say this for a while. I used to eat canned food and nutritional supplements, and my health was terrible. After eating at Susu’s restaurant for a month, my complexion has visibly improved.]
[I don’t care what crap the food safety bureau spouts, but I was cured of my infertility by eating Susu’s food. That’s a fact, and it’s ironclad proof!]
[The food safety bureau? You think people don’t know about your dirty dealings with the food processing bureau?]
[That canned food the food safety bureau recommended last month gave people vomiting and diarrhea. Has that been resolved? Clean up your own mess before you start meddling in other people’s business.]
[Ah, so the food safety bureau is in cahoots with the food processing bureau. Now I get it. No wonder they’re trying to sling mud at our Susu’s restaurant.]
The Lanton Family was, after all, a world-renowned, top-tier medical family. Coupled with the scandals about the Snow Country’s food safety bureau that Yelias had specifically compiled, the bureau’s credibility instantly plummeted.
Soon, some males jumped in: [Females, don’t be so gullible. Are you still trying to clean up Bai Su’s image?]
[She’s selling you carcinogens, and you’re still defending her?]
[Some females are just so stupid. All grown up, but with no brains.]
[I feel like only females would believe this stuff. Please, use your brains for a second. The current head of the Lanton Family is Bai Su’s Beast Husband. What authority does the Lanton Family’s announcement have?]
Once this argument appeared, almost all the males seized on it and went wild, all of them using Yelias’s status as a Beast Husband to question the authority of the Lanton Family’s announcement.
Someone captured this on video and posted it online, quickly causing a huge stir.
[What the hell? What is this? Is the apocalypse coming?]
[Can someone tell me how much longer I have to live? A zombie mutation? If the world is ending, can you give me a heads-up so I can spend all my savings first!]
[These look like mutated beasts from the Endless Abyss. What’s going on?]
The number of mutated beasts was growing.
Qin Nuo personally led a small team, spending four hours a day patrolling the area around the Endless Abyss.
Next to her was Li Chenlin, who had been forced to come along.
Li Chenlin’s face was dark. "It would’ve been fine if you just came out by yourself. Why’d you drag me into this?"
Qin Nuo snorted. "I’m a female. What if I get hurt? Aren’t you supposed to protect me?"
Li Chenlin replied, "Sorry, I’m a coward."
Not far away, a ferocious beast charged out of the Abyss. Smelling the scent of living people, it attacked in their direction.
The surrounding guard squad quickly formed a circle around Qin Nuo and Li Chenlin.
They released a shield of spiritual power to protect the perimeter, but the beast’s attack was exceptionally fierce. It broke through the barrier where a weaker soldier was positioned, instantly tearing him to pieces and devouring him, leaving behind only a bloodcurdling scream.
Qin Nuo, already an expert at this, commanded the beasts, "Male beasts, attack your companions! Protect me!"
Her superpower was command; even male beasts were unable to resist her orders.
The charging beasts uncontrollably turned and attacked their companions, quickly bringing the situation under control.
’I am the Goddess foretold in the Beast God’s prophecy, the future King of Ten Thousand Beasts. Heaven itself gifted me the superpower to command all beasts. What can these corrupted creatures possibly do to me?’ A hint of pride flashed in Qin Nuo’s eyes.
The beasts were quickly subdued, but at some point, Li Chenlin had been scratched by one. He was now hiding in the back, groaning "weakly."
