A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 149 Who Dares to Touch Me?

Inside the press conference.

The powerful and wealthy gathered there.

Shen Tang was like an ugly duckling that had mistakenly wandered into a flock of swans, completely out of place.

The moment she entered, countless eyes fell upon her, some with amazement, but many more with doubt, disdain, and contempt.

Why is this deposed princess here?
What does this press conference have to do with her?
The moment Shen Qingli stood on the stage, she saw Shen Tang. A moment of gloom and distortion flashed across her beautiful face. Remembering the time she was overshadowed, her nails dug into her palms, and anger flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Seeing that Shen Tang was dressed simply, far less glamorous than last time, a sense of pride flashed through his mind.

This idiot is drowning in debt and still wants to steal her thunder; he's making a complete fool of himself!
Shen Qingli smiled, her red lips curving upwards. "Sister Shen Tang, you were not invited."

The eldest prince, Shen Xu, had not expected Shen Tang to come today. He gazed deeply at Shen Tang, who had grown into an even more beautiful and dazzling woman, his expression complex as he coldly rebuked her, "Tang Tang, this is not a place for you to act recklessly."

This little sister is usually willful, but how could she act up like this at a time like this?
Her reputation in the empire was bad enough, and her repeated misdeeds only made the people hate her even more.

Shen Xu thought he was thinking of her and was just worried about her.

When Shen Tang heard the name Tangtang, she got goosebumps all over her body and almost threw up the food she ate last night.

The people in the room whispered and talked amongst themselves, saying nothing but very unpleasant things.

Shen Tang had heard it so many times that she didn't take it to heart.

Her gaze swept around and landed on the empire's top pharmacists in the audience.

She remained composed and smiled, "Isn't today a press conference about a new inhibitor? Perfect timing, I'm also very interested in drug development. I've developed an inhibitor, and I wonder if the experts could take a look at it?"

This remark drew laughter from the entire audience.

This good-for-nothing dares to spout nonsense.

Everyone knows that she failed every course in etiquette and academics, and her score in the course on pharmaceutical research was zero. Later, this good-for-nothing simply skipped classes and dropped out of school, spending all her time researching how to find Mei Xiong.

Doesn't she laugh at herself for saying that?
Shen Qingli originally thought that Shen Tang had become smarter this time, but she didn't expect that he was still stupid and clumsy, even more arrogant and ignorant than before!
She raised her beautiful eyes slightly and covered her mouth with a mocking smile, "Sister Shen Tang, it's better to know your own limitations. Trying to attract attention will only make you a clown and a laughingstock."

She naturally didn't believe that Shen Tang could develop an inhibitor.

Putting aside the fact that developing inhibitors would take several years and cost a fortune, she is currently heavily in debt and even her clothes are cheap, low-quality items from street stalls. Where would she get the money to research inhibitors?

This fool tried to disrupt her press conference, little did he know that such behavior would only make the people of the empire hate her even more!

The emperor's brows furrowed in anger, and he roared, "Guards! Throw her out!"

The guards rushed forward, intending to throw Shen Tang out.

Xiao Jin's golden eyes were cold, and he sneered. A bunch of scumbags still wanted to attack them?

He twisted his cracking wrists, unleashing a torrent of lightning power from his body. With a deafening boom, he punched one of the charging orcs, sending them flying several meters away in an instant.

The sudden turn of events caused a sensation throughout the venue.

The cowardly nobles stood up, their faces filled with terror, and shouted, "Who are you people, daring to attack in broad daylight! Guards! Arrest them immediately!"

Shen Qingli was also shocked by this scene; she hadn't expected them to dare to take action so directly!
The meticulously planned press conference instantly descended into chaos. The emperor and empress were furious, and the army surrounded the venue in layers, determined to capture them!
The Empress roared, "Shen Tang, we've raised a useless piece of trash like you, with no blood relation to us, for so many years, and this is how you repay us!"

A sharp pain shot through Shen Tang's heart. She closed her eyes and smiled calmly, "If you can't reason with someone, you can only settle things with your fists."

Shen Li stepped forward, looking directly at the furious Emperor and Empress, and smiled gently, "Please calm down, Father and Mother. We had no intention of disrupting the press conference. But Father and Mother, you're dismissing us without even asking? Isn't that too hasty?"

The Empress disliked Shen Tang, but she still liked her beautiful adopted son Shen Li very much. Although Shen Li had been stripped of his title as a prince, their years of affection made him worthy of being called "Father" and "Mother".

The Empress's expression softened. "Li'er, back then you were dragged to the polluted land by this good-for-nothing, and I felt sorry for you. As long as you come back now, I will immediately restore your status as a prince! You will still be a noble prince above all others."

Shen Xu's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. He knew that his mother favored this beautiful adopted son, but he didn't expect her to be so brazen in her favoritism. His voice was gloomy as he said, "Can't you see, Mother? He's on Shen Tang's side!"

The emperor coldly swept his gaze across them, his imposing presence evident. "You've only just returned from the polluted land, yet you dare to cause trouble today? Do you intend to go back again?!"

"Arrest them all and put them in jail!"

The soldiers rushed forward.

A cold glint flashed across Jia Lan's handsome, aloof face. He strode forward to confront the emperor, showing no fear. "Is this how your country treats its guests?"

His voice was icy cold. “We had invitations and were legally here to attend the press conference, but your country kicked us out without a word!”

"We acted in self-defense, yet we were falsely accused of a crime, and His Majesty the Emperor wants us arrested and imprisoned?"

"Very well, I'll stand right here and see who dares to touch me!"

"Anyone who dares to lay a finger on me will be declaring war on the entire New Atlantis!"

He parted his lips slightly,
"If His Majesty the Emperor wishes to wage war, New Atlantis will certainly fight to the bitter end!"

Upon hearing this, the emperor's face turned ashen, and his skin trembled.

The situation became tense and uneasy.

The marriage alliance between the two countries was intended to seek peace. The Empress of the Sea Kingdom specially married her most beloved son to the country. If the Night Glow Empire dared to lay a finger on Jialan, everyone present had no doubt that the two countries would be plunged into a bloody war tomorrow!
Lu Xiao glanced indifferently at the armed soldiers, his demeanor cold and dignified. He didn't say a word, yet the soldiers took several steps back in fear, not daring to step forward at all.

One of the orcs, conflicted and uneasy, said, "Young Master, you'd better not cause trouble. The patriarch is waiting for you to come home..."

One-third of the empire's army belongs to the Lu family.

They outwardly obeyed the royal family's orders, but in reality, they trusted the Lu family.

How dare they touch Lu Xiao and his group!
The emperor's face was extremely grim. He slammed down on his seat and snorted angrily, "Fine, then bring out your so-called inhibitors and let us all take a good look!"

At the same time, he waved for the troops to withdraw.

The scene then returned to order.

But the scene was too quiet at this moment, and the noble officials did not dare to breathe, for fear of being caught in the crossfire.

Shen Qingli was also frightened by this scene. Her face turned pale, and she bit her lip tightly, glaring at Shen Tang with resentment.

She didn't understand why Lu Xiao and the others would protect this idiot!

They were supposed to be her beastly husbands, so why is the plot developing in a way that is completely different from what I imagined?
