A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 184 Working oneself to the bone outside, only to have one's home robbed (3) (Bonus chapter for donations)

Compared to Xiao Jin and the others who were working themselves to the bone, Shen Li was in no different state than usual, exuding an elegant and composed aura.

He strolled slowly to Shen Tang's side and asked softly, "Little Tang, is there anything you need me to tell you this time?"

"This is a map I've compiled these past few days. It marks the mining areas for many important raw materials, including limestone, clay, iron ore, sand, high-quality timber, and so on. You can use this map to guide your mining activities." Shen Tang found these locations on the exploration map, drew them simply, and made detailed annotations.

After Shen Li took it and looked at it, he looked surprised, wondering how Shen Tang knew.

However, with so many secrets surrounding her, this little thing hardly counts as a secret anymore.

He said with a smile, "With this map, the team will be able to mine much faster."

"By the way, take me to see the mining areas you've been operating in," Shen Tang said.

“That place is a mess, full of broken stones. You could easily fall and get covered in blood. I’ll carry you there!” Xiao Jin said, then transformed into his beast form. The slender and strong black panther was about five or six meters long, with glossy fur and a majestic appearance.

Shen Tang stroked its leopard head, and just as she was about to mount it, the silvery-white snake tail hooked around her waist and pulled her into her arms.

Xue Yinzhou's deep, cool voice came, "It's too hot. Let me take you there."

Shen Tang had been sweating profusely from the heat of the journey, and the man's cool, jade-like body emanating wisps of cold air felt like an incredibly refreshing popsicle.

On the contrary, Xiao Jin had just finished working and was covered in sweat, like a furnace. If she sat on him, it would definitely be even hotter.

Shen Tang naturally stayed wherever she was comfortable, so she didn't struggle and let Xue Yinzhou hold her.

When Xiao Jin saw this, he was so angry that he wanted to dig up two acres of land.

Shen Li narrowed his long, fox-like eyes, a thoughtful look flashing in them. Why did he feel that Xiao Tang and this snake-beast had become much closer during his absence these past few days?

After Xue Yinzhou returned this time, Shen Tang verbally acknowledged his status as a beast husband, but it was obvious to everyone that the two were still quite distant.

Shen Tang usually tries to avoid having too close contact with Xue Yinzhou, let alone hugging him.

This time, however, she didn't feel any discomfort or resistance; on the contrary, it was as if she had been used to it for a long time.

Shen Li sniffed carefully and could smell the masculine scent on her. She had washed very clean, but the scent lingered for too long, and he could still detect a trace of it...

Xue Yinzhou noticed the two people's probing and unfriendly gazes. He curled his thin lips into a slight smile, unbuttoned the top two buttons of his collar, and intentionally pulled the collar down a bit to better help the female in his arms cool down.

From Shen Tang's perspective, she did not notice anything amiss.

Xiao Jin and Shen Li instantly noticed the red marks on Xue Yinzhou's collarbone and chest!
There were scratch marks from fingernails and faint teeth marks.

It's easy to imagine how pleasurable and unrestrained his love affair must have been.

As for who he was having the most intimate time with, the answer is obvious.

Xiao Jin was so angry he was practically steaming.

They're working themselves to the bone here, while this serpent beast is at home having sex with a female?
Shen Li narrowed his eyes dangerously, a deep chill flashing in his gaze.

His expression remained unchanged, but a smile played on his red lips, and his fiery red, fluffy fox tail swayed gently behind him. His smile was tender and captivating. "Oh~ it seems that Xiao Tang'er had a very happy time at home while we were away?"

"It's really kind of you to still find time to think of us." Shen Tang blushed and coughed lightly to cover her embarrassment. "I remember all your hard work and contributions. When we get back, you'll definitely be rewarded!"

"The reward... name your name."

Upon hearing this, their eyes lit up, finally finding some comfort.

Xue Yinzhou frowned, but didn't say anything.

Xiao Jin got down to business, "The first batch of stones is loaded and can be transported back to the city tomorrow, but Green Field City doesn't have the corresponding factories, so processing them will be very time-consuming and laborious, and the project will probably be difficult to move forward."

Shen Tang nodded, "I came here today to discuss this matter with you."

She continued, "I have a factory blueprint and plan to build a factory in the city. I will entrust Jialan with the funding and labor. The raw materials you mine can be transported directly to the factory."

Shen Li took the factory blueprints and studied them carefully for a long time before saying, "There's nothing wrong with the factory design. It can be built according to the city's technological level. However, Xiao Tang, I must remind you that this kind of automated factory has extremely high production efficiency, but it requires a huge amount of energy to operate. Green Field City does not have an energy station that can support the operation of the factory."

Upon hearing this, the jubilant beastmen around them all hung their heads in dejection.

"Yes, remote towns like our Green Field City simply can't support factory operations, so those entrepreneurs are unwilling to invest in our projects."

"As a result, our city's economy has never been able to develop."

"Your Highness's intentions are good, but unfortunately we are too incompetent. The factory requires a lot of energy to operate, and we cannot provide that much energy."

"Don't worry about energy. Since I have plans to build a factory, I naturally have a way to solve the energy shortage!" Shen Tang clapped his hands to boost morale and took out the energy core he had obtained from the polluted land years ago from his spatial storage.

The moment the energy core was seen, the entire audience erupted in uproar.

"Am I seeing things? This is the legendary energy core? It is said that the energy core contains a huge amount of energy, enough to keep a city running for ten years!"

"With this energy core, the factory can operate normally!"

"Your Highness is amazing! You actually managed to produce something as precious as an energy core!"

Xiao Jin, Shen Li, and Xue Yinzhou had almost forgotten about this treasure; they were surprised to find that she had kept it so well.

Although the energy core was contaminated, fortunately they are now back in the Empire and can hire orcs with purification skills at a high price to purify the energy core.

Upon hearing this good news, the city lord was overjoyed and announced it to all the people in the city.

With this factory, Green Field City's economy is sure to boom!
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Greenfield City's morale +5!]

After the matter was settled, when Shen Tang was about to return to the city, Xiao Jin became unhappy and threw the map to Xue Yinzhou, saying, "You take over the work, and I'll take over in three days!"

Was he working so hard because he was kind, diligent, and loved to work? Wasn't it just so he could get more attention from females? Little did he know his home would be stolen!

The thought of how this damned snake beast was still diligently filling in the hole while he was working himself to the bone digging it made Xiao Jin's blood boil. He was lucky he didn't die of anger on the spot.

“Xiao Jin has worked hard these past few days. Go home and get some rest. You can take over his duties for now!” Shen Tang said to Xue Yinzhou.

This snake-beast has too much energy; it needs to be tempered!
Those with boundless energy and nowhere to vent it were all exiled to the frontier to work for her!
Thank you "zazaz" for becoming a "fanatic" of the book, here's an extra chapter!
Good night!
