A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 165 Arranging Rooms
This scene was broadcast live throughout the entire empire, and everyone saw it.

The investiture ceremony was completed, shocking the entire nation.

Public opinion also took a sharp turn, shifting from criticism to celebration.

Shen Qingli was furious. She could tolerate Xiao Jin and the others betraying her, but Lu Xiao was the heir of the Lu family!

The heir does not live for himself; he represents the interests of the Lu family!
A person like him would weigh the pros and cons of every step he takes and be extremely cautious. How could he choose that good-for-nothing?

She is clearly the rightful heir to the empire, and Lu Xiao's gaze should follow her!
Shen Tang blushed and her heart raced. It was just a normal hand-holding kiss, without any ambiguity or romance, yet it stirred up a lot of emotions in her.

Perhaps the man was too focused on his movements.

Perhaps it was because his gaze was too determined.

Or perhaps it was his promise that resonated with her.

Shen Tang felt a burning sensation in her chest, and even the skin on the back of her hand seemed to still bear the traces of the man's warm kiss...

Lu Xiao turned to look at Lu Shen, whose face was ashen, and said calmly, "Father has always put the family first, but to personally lead troops to coerce the Imperial Princess at the ceremony is a great disrespect."

"Does Father intend to drag the Lu family into this mess?"

“You…” Lu Shen, the head of the Lu family, trembled and could not speak.

Now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to lead his troops in retreat.

Before leaving, Lu Shen said with exasperation, "I don't only have you as my son. If you don't live up to my expectations, then I'll have to raise your second brother!"

Lu Xiao smiled slightly, "Then I hope that my second brother can shoulder this important responsibility and live up to the family's reputation."

Old Master Lu Shen was so angry that his liver ached. He had gone to great lengths to cultivate his eldest son and placed high hopes on him, naturally because Lu Xiao was the most talented among the younger generation, with a calm and steady character, and he handled family affairs flawlessly. He was the perfect successor in everyone's eyes.

That good-for-nothing playboy, the second son, only knows how to indulge in debauchery all day long. How can he compare to Lu Xiao!
With so many people watching, Lu Shen couldn't afford to lose face, so he had no choice but to angrily leave.

After things were settled in the capital, Shen Tang and his group left the ceremony and boarded a spaceship to return home.

Disagreements arose regarding what to do with the unconscious Xueyinzhou.

The spaceship had only five rooms, all of which were double rooms. However, each of the five people occupied a room by themselves, and no room was reserved for Xue Yinzhou.

Someone has to sleep with Xueyinzhou.

These four male dogs are all very picky and certainly don't want other male beasts to trespass on their "territory." They may not say it, but they are definitely unwilling in their hearts.

Shen Tang didn't want to put them in a difficult position, so after thinking for a moment, she said, "Never mind, let Xue Yinzhou sleep in my room."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin, who had been observing from the sidelines, immediately became wary and his attitude changed instantly. He spoke ingratiatingly, "What kind of behavior is it for a female to take care of a wounded man so late at night? It's alright, take him to my room! I'm quick and efficient, and I'm very good at taking care of people!"

Jia Lan also sensed something was amiss, and unusually generously said, "He can also sleep in my room."

Both of them were cold-blooded, yet they slept in the same bed without either of them minding the other's presence.

Lu Xiao said, "I'll stay in the cockpit; the room can be left to him."

Shen Li looked at Shen Tang with her charming fox eyes, swayed her fox tail, and suggested with a smile, "Let the injured sleep in a room by themselves. Little Tang can come and sleep in my den tonight."

Upon hearing this, the other three beastmen all looked at Shen Li, who had a wide smile on his face. This cunning fox was truly sly! They hadn't expected this to happen!

Listening to the beastmen's argument, Shen Tang rubbed her temples with a headache. "Forget it, you all should rest. Let Xue Yinzhou sleep in the same room as me. It will be more convenient for me to heal him."

Xiao Jin and the others felt a little jealous when they heard her say that, but they didn't say anything more.

After all, Xue Yinzhou was injured while saving her, and the injured should be the priority.

Unfortunately, none of them had ever slept in her room yet! This snake beast went straight home, and its status in Shen Tang's heart rose accordingly, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.

Xiao Jin carried Xue Yinzhou and threw it onto the bed.

"You damn leopard, at least be gentle!" Shen Tang looked on in horror.

Xue Yinzhou was already seriously injured, and he was afraid that Xiao Jin's fall would cause him to suffer other problems.

Xiao Jin disagreed, "Male animals are tough and thick-skinned, so they're not that fussy. As long as he's not dead, that's fine. The external wounds just look serious. He fell from several meters high. If anything had happened, he would have been dead long ago."

"..." Upon hearing this, Shen Tang became even more worried. No wonder Xue Yinzhou hadn't woken up yet; could he have suffered internal injuries from the fall?
After Xiao Jin and the others left, Shen Tang quickly began treating Xue Yinzhou.

Xue Yinzhou was covered in blood. Xiao Jin had already helped clean it up, but a lot of blood was still seeping from the wounds.

Looking at his naked body, which was as smooth as jade, Shen Tang felt a little agitated. She still filled a basin with clean water and carefully cleaned the blood and dirt off his face and body.

She then went to Shen Li and asked for a set of pajamas.

The two were of similar build, and the clothes fit Xue Yinzhou quite well.

After two or three days on the road, Xue Yinzhou remained unconscious and had not woken up.

Shen Tang anxiously asked the system in her mind, "I've already treated him, so much time has passed, why hasn't he woken up yet?"

The system replied, "[I'm not entirely sure either. I've detected that Xue Yinzhou's various bodily indicators have returned to normal. It's possible that he expended too much energy in the battle, so his recovery time is a bit longer. Don't worry, host, he should wake up soon!]"

The system observed the data fluctuations on the snake-like beast's body and thought it seemed... to be asleep.

I don't know what a wonderful dream I had, but I didn't want to wake up.

Of course, the system didn't mention this trivial matter.

There were still many empty rooms in the villa, so Shen Tang asked Xiao Jin to prepare one room to accommodate Xue Yinzhou.

If he doesn't plan to leave again after this trip, this room will be reserved for him from now on.

Xiao Jin's mind raced, and he went to tidy up the most secluded room, the one furthest from Shen Tang's room.

Shen Tang saw through the stinky leopard's thoughts, her lips twitched slightly, but she was too lazy to bother with him.

Anyway, as long as there's a room for Xueyinzhou, that's fine.

The rooms closest to her were all occupied, leaving only the rooms farther away from her.

Shen Tang didn't want to get too close to Xue Yinzhou either; it was better to stay away.

After finishing her meal, Shen Tang didn't go back to her room. Instead, she went to Lu Xiao's room.

She had wanted to talk to him for a long time, but for various reasons, she had never asked.

Some things couldn't wait any longer, and she wanted to have an open and honest talk with him.

Shen Tang stood at the door and knocked. "Lu Xiao, are you asleep?"

A deep, magnetic male voice soon came from inside the room.

"Please come in."

Shen Tang opened the door and went in, only to find that Lu Xiao was still awake. He was wearing a dark gray bathrobe and sitting at his desk working on some documents.
