Chapter 172 Surprise? Shock! (Bonus Chapter for Donations)
Jialan used to be curious as to why Shen Tang always seemed to care about his tears when they were doing those kinds of things, and she thought she had some kind of special fetish.

He only understood the reason after he saw the formula for the inhibitor.

Thinking of those things, Jia Lan's handsome face flushed slightly; he had many...

She'll give you as much as you want.

He gave her everything he had.

He also enjoyed it very much.

Shen Li noticed that her position had been changed, and her forehead twitched slightly, but she was too lazy to bother with it.

He rested his chin on his hand, watching the jealous rivalry at the dining table with amusement on his face, his fiery red fox tail swaying gently behind him.

Her captivating, fox-like eyes stared intently at Shen Tang. "Speaking of which, Xiao Tang hasn't been to my room in a long time. Your brother misses you terribly~"

Shen Tang blushed and glared at the cunning fox. What was he doing here?

Don't think she doesn't know that Shen Li is the hardest one to win over. His favorability rating increased the fastest in the early stages, but it increased extremely slowly in the later stages, even more so than Lu Xiao. He hasn't shown her any true feelings at all.

Don't be fooled by Shen Li's usual teasing; in reality, that was the only time they ever had sex, and it was when she forced herself on him!

I really don't know what kind of female could truly make him fall for her and give her his heart.

Xue Yinzhou glanced around before finally spotting his seat at the very edge of the table, his expression darkening slightly.

Without saying a word, he sat down and conjured a snake tail, pulling Shen Tang and her chair over to him.

This move instantly ignited the entire audience!
The other beastmen were practically bursting with jealousy.

Did not expect ah did not expect.

This serpent beast, who used to despise jealousy and rivalry—

Declaring war in public!

Seeing the situation instantly become tense, as if a fight could break out at any moment, Shen Tang had a terrible headache and quickly said, "Eat, eat first. Anyone who dares to lay a hand on us will be sleeping on the streets tonight!"

Upon hearing this, the entire audience fell silent instantly.

Xiao Jin angrily took a vicious bite of his meat bun. He wanted to snatch the person back, but this snake beast had broken through to the ninth level after surviving a near-death experience. He couldn't win against it and would probably get another beating.

The other three beastmen didn't look too good either.

Xue Yinzhou had never been involved in family matters before. Compared to the Beast Husband, he was more like a detached bodyguard. His strength posed no threat to them; on the contrary, he was a great asset.
Things are different now, and a sense of crisis arose in the hearts of the four of them.

With Xue Yinzhou's heaven-defying strength at the ninth rank, if a real fight broke out, the others probably wouldn't even get a taste of the spoils.

Xiao Jin and Lu Xiao were also very talented, having become seventh-tier beastmen three or four years ago. Unfortunately, they were later implicated by the original owner and sent to the polluted land. The polluted air and food had a great impact on their bodies. They often fought and killed, but their bodies' pollution levels remained high, making it difficult for them to break through to higher levels.

However, after returning to the Empire, the level of pollution in their bodies decreased, and they had a vague feeling that a breakthrough was likely to come soon.

On the contrary, Xue Yinzhou's talent was extremely unusual. When he was in the Empire, he was considered one of the best among the younger generation, but he was not this ridiculously strong.

Before going to the contaminated land, Xue Yinzhou was just a sixth-tier peak orc, but after arriving in the contaminated land, he thrived, frantically devouring mutants and greatly improving his strength.

Shen Li doesn't seem to have high expectations for his own strength. Apart from his usual hunting trips outside the city, he doesn't seem to train much. His strength is stable at a mid-to-low level among beastmen.

But Shen Tang also suspected that this guy might be deliberately hiding his strength.

After all, he can even hide his beast form, making him too unpredictable and causing people to feel insecure.

The most anxious person in the room was none other than Jialan.

How could a prince of the noble and precious sea tribe understand the arduous work of cultivation?

He was always accompanied by a large group of guards whenever he went out since he was a child. In the past, he would push away any missions he could find in polluted areas, and if necessary, he would just spend money to hire people to do the work.

As a result, his strength improved the slowest; more than a year had passed, and he was still stuck at the sixth rank, barely making any progress. Jialan couldn't continue to be so carefree, otherwise, there probably wouldn't be any chopsticks or bowls left at the dinner table.

He considered himself a royal mermaid, whose talent was absolutely no less than anyone else present.

If he wanted to cultivate, it would be a piece of cake!

In that instant, the beastmen had different expressions, and they were all thinking about many things.

Shen Tang was unaware of their thoughts and was happily eating a piece of shortbread.

Lu Xiao turned to look at Shen Tang beside him, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

The advantage of having two marginalized individuals is that Xue Yinzhou's move has drawn them to his side as well.

This time, Lu Xiao didn't smell any alluring scent on Shen Tang, so he swallowed back his standard greeting and served her a bowl of soup. "This is the soy milk you mentioned last time. I made it yesterday using soybeans I harvested from the field, and added some sugar. I don't know if it tastes like what you want."

Shen Tang was pleasantly surprised when she saw the milky white soy milk in the bowl. She had casually mentioned it a few days ago, but she didn't expect him to remember it!
She quickly took a sip. The soy milk was rich and thick, much like the thick soy milk with a coarser texture that you can find in stores. But she really liked it. Apart from having a little too much sugar and making it slightly sweet, it was perfect!
"It's delicious, thank you." Shen Tang drank half a bowl in one gulp.

She was so tired of meat broth that she missed drinking such comforting soy milk.

Lu Xiao said, "If you like it, I'll make it again tomorrow morning. You can also tell me if there's anything you'd like to eat in the future."

He remained calm and unhurried, seemingly unaffected by the incident at the dinner table, simply doing his job.

Shen Tang was about to remark on how honest and reliable Lu Xiao was when, a second later, he whispered,

"...Theory needs practice. If I do not do it well, the female master can personally guide me."

"Pfft, cough cough cough!" Shen Tang almost choked after taking a sip of soy milk!
The other four beastmen didn't understand what he meant, but when they saw Shen Tang's flushed and embarrassed face, they immediately sensed something was amiss.

Could the two of them be exchanging secret messages?
Shen Li narrowed his shimmering fox eyes. He used to think that this eagle was the most honest, but now it seemed that wasn't entirely true.

Wait until after dinner.

Shen Li said, "Xiao Tang, the city lord came over this morning and said he had something to discuss with you."

Shen Tang raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Hmm? What does the city lord want with me?"

Shen Li smiled and said, "It seems I wanted to give you a surprise."

Shen Tang had a bad feeling. Was it just a fright?

She was thinking of going to the fields today, and had just opened the door to the house.

"Peng!"

Fireworks exploded at the entrance.

Immediately afterwards, ninety-nine cannons were seen parked at the entrance, and a barrage of explosions ensued.

If you didn't know better, you'd think the rebels had attacked the city.

Shen Tang's head was buzzing. She looked around in shock and saw a long red carpet laid out at the entrance, red ribbons hanging from the trees next to it, and the streets were decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, making it very lively.

Many orcs gathered outside the villa, eagerly awaiting their arrival.

They cheered when they saw Shen Tang come out.

"Welcome back to the city, Your Highness!"

"..."

Shen Tang was practically digging a Barbie castle out of the soles of her feet.

What's going on with this horse?
Thank you to "YBA小五" for becoming the "master" of the book! An extra chapter for the reward!
Good night~
