A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 162 Bringing the Giant Serpent Home

Xue Yinzhou was startled. He turned his head and looked around. There was only this one large bed in the palace.

He's not picky; he can sleep anywhere.

You can sleep on the sofa or on the floor.

So Xue Yinzhou turned to walk towards the living room, but Shen Tang quickly called him back, "Come back!"

She patted her side and coughed lightly.
"What I mean is, you, sleep in the same bed as me."

The bed in the princess's bedroom is very large, enough to comfortably sleep several people.

The two had been husband and wife, though in name only. Shen Tang didn't distinguish between male and female in such matters, not to mention that they were both still young in their spiritual world.

They're just two little kids, it doesn't matter. Being close by makes it easier for her to comfort them.

Shen Tang had no idea how shocked the little white snake was. She quickly brought over a new quilt, made a new nest next to it, and explained, "The other rooms in the princess's mansion haven't been cleaned yet. They're all dirty and dusty. You can sleep with me. There's room for you, and it'll be easier for you to take care of my daily needs."

"..." Xue Yinzhou could not find a reason to refute.

It slowly swam to the bedside, saw that the bed was covered with expensive silk bedding, and after making sure that it was clean and that there was not a speck of dust hidden in its scales, it raised its body and slowly climbed onto the bed.

Immediately, the little white snake was shocked; what a soft bed!

After a few seconds, Xue Yinzhou crawled into the snake den that Shen Tang had prepared for it, quietly curled up and went to sleep. It didn't move around much, just like an obedient toy, and wouldn't disturb her rest.

Shen Tang thought to herself: So obedient.

She was much more obedient than that scoundrel who would always try to kill her later on.

After Xue Yinzhou fell asleep, Shen Tang forced herself to stay awake and comforted him.

The system said that mental reassurance is most effective when the target's mental state is most relaxed and unguarded.

[Host, keep it up! I've detected that your main body's mania level has dropped to 60. Keep up the good work! At this rate, I expect that staying in the mental illusion for half a month will bring your main body's mania level to its lowest point!]

"Half a month? That takes that long? What about real-world time?"

Shen Tang is still in the process of receiving his investiture.

She and Xue Yinzhou were trapped in the space, and she was even more afraid that the man in black would return.

Both of them were unconscious when the man in black simply killed them.

"Don't worry, host. I've detected that the man in black's aura has disappeared, and I've also set up protection for your physical body. Nothing will happen," the system explained. "It's just a matter of time. Host, don't worry. Although it may seem like you've been in a mental illusion for a long time, the speed of mental thought transmission is actually very fast. In the real world, it's just a moment. You can think of it as a dream."

Shen Tang felt relieved after hearing what the system said.

After giving the little white snake some emotional comfort for the day, Shen Tang was exhausted and fell asleep.

For half a month, everything went peacefully.

Compared to his initial restraint, Xue Yinzhou has become much more relaxed these days, especially towards Shen Tang.

He still didn't dare to transform into human form when he went to sleep at night, and remained in his original form.

However, he used to lie quietly in the snake pit, not daring to overstep his bounds in the slightest. Now he is much more casual, and he will find a place on the bed to curl up and sleep. Sometimes he will even wrap his arms around Shen Tang's and "hold" her while sleeping.

One morning, Shen Tang woke up feeling suffocated.

She felt as if she were being tightly bound by an octopus, making it difficult to even breathe.

She opened her eyes in surprise and was met with a cool and pretty face.

Unlike when they first met, the boy was no longer disheveled; his injuries had healed, and he had a clean and refined demeanor with skin as white as jade.

He rested his head on Shen Tang's shoulder, his silver hair brushing against her cheeks and neck.

Shen Tang was shocked to discover that Xue Yinzhou was sleeping while holding her.
He must have fallen asleep, and his body unconsciously transformed into human form, while his lower body remained in snake tail form, tightly wrapped around her waist and legs.

...This guy is exactly the same whether in the mental illusion or in the real world; he likes to entangle people with his tail.

Shen Tang tried to push him, and said with difficulty, "Xue Yinzhou, you, you let go of me first..." Xue Yinzhou woke up in a daze and opened his hazy silver-purple phoenix eyes.

The two stared at each other for a moment.

Xue Yinzhou realized something, looked down and saw the two of them clearly, and her fair face turned red!

He quickly released his arms and tail, his face flushed crimson with embarrassment, and stammered, "Your Highness, I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to..."

I was sleeping too soundly and couldn't control myself.

Shen Tang's face also turned a little red. She was a woman who had seen a lot of big occasions, and she quickly regained her composure. "It's okay, put your clothes on first."

After saying that, she got up and left, sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard.

Soon, Xue Yinzhou got dressed and went out.

He was still a slave, so Shen Tang didn't prepare any fancy clothes for him, just very ordinary ones.

The boy was slender with exquisite features. Even the most ordinary clothes looked extraordinary on him, giving a glimpse into the remarkable elegance he would possess when he grew up.

When they were young, they were mostly seen as cute and delicate.

Shen Tang's spiritual body is that of a child, but her soul is that of an adult. Seeing such a cute little boy, she couldn't help but want to go over and pat his head.

However, just as she raised her hand, a surprised voice from the system suddenly rang in her mind.
[Congratulations, host! Xueyinzhou's berserk level has been reduced to the minimum. We can leave now!]

Shen Tang paused slightly.

She snapped out of her daze, patted the boy's head, lowered her hand, and smiled, "...See you outside!"

Immediately afterwards, she withdrew her spiritual body.

Xue Yinzhou was blushing and her heart was pounding from Shen Tang's actions when she suddenly watched the figure in front of her turn into a streak of light and disappear.

He looked shocked, and after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

The surrounding scenery and attendants slowly distorted and dissipated, transforming into nothingness.

……

Shen Tang opened her eyes and returned to the real world.

She was still in that collapsing space.

Just as the system said, half a month had passed in the spiritual world, but in the real world, it seemed like only a few minutes had passed.

The man in front stood tall and elegant, his long silver hair stained with blood. His slender and upright figure gradually merged with that of the little white snake.

However, the black mist surrounding his body disappeared, and his frenzied aura became calm.

"Xue Yinzhou, the space is about to collapse, we must leave quickly!" Shen Tang rushed over and grabbed his hand.

Xue Yinzhou turned his head and looked at her deeply, but then he swayed and fainted.

Shen Tang instinctively hugged him.

The man's heavy body almost pressed her to the ground.

Shen Tang gritted her teeth and anxiously asked the system in her mind, "What's going on?"

After an orc breaks through, their power becomes unstable, leading to a period of exhaustion. This was especially true after a fierce battle that depleted their strength, and now, having just recovered from their berserk state, they were physically and mentally exhausted and collapsed.

Looking at the collapsing space, Shen Tang asked anxiously, "Can you find the exit?"

[System detection in progress... The space exit is at the nine o'clock position ahead, less than 500 meters away. Host, please escape immediately!]

Just before the space collapsed, Shen Tang finally found the exit and escaped with Xue Yinzhou.
