A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 191 A World for Two, Air Doesn't Count

Shen Tang thought to herself, "This is my first time meeting your mother. Should I prepare a gift? It wouldn't be appropriate to go empty-handed."

Strangely enough, the original owner of this body had never met the Queen of the Sea Kingdom. When the two countries arranged the marriage, the Queen only sent the prince over; she herself did not appear.

Shen Tang could guess that the marriage was probably not well-regarded within the Hai Kingdom.

Jialan casually said, "No need to bring them. Our Hai Kingdom is rich and vast, and we have all kinds of good things. My mother doesn't care about the things you brought. She just wants to see you."

"It wouldn't be right to go empty-handed. We should always prepare some gifts, even if it's just a small token of our appreciation." After hearing Jialan's suggestion, Shen Tang had an idea in mind.

Ordinary, cheap gifts that can be bought in the market would definitely not catch the Mermaid Queen's eye.

Shen Tang thought for a moment and asked Xiao Jin to bring over several large bags of premium rice. The sea beastmen had definitely never seen such a thing before. Anyway, Princess Jialan, who was a picky eater, liked to eat it. The mermaid queen should like it too, right?

She also brought a box of inhibitors.

The purpose of this trip is to discuss trade terms with the Queen, so we must make her intentions clear.

She can use inhibitors as leverage.

The Sea Kingdom also has many orcs who are mentally unstable.

In this way, both parties will benefit, and the transaction should proceed much more smoothly.

Xiao Jin and Shen Li also wanted to go.

Jialan refused on the spot, her tone unfriendly, "You two land beasts can't enter the Sea Kingdom. I can only take one person with me, not both of you."

How could Jialan let others ruin the sweet time she had finally managed to have with someone else?
"I still need you two to take care of things at the factory and the market. You two stay in the city and help me manage things from the rear." There's no point in Shen Li and Xiao Jin going there, especially since they're the most troublesome ones in the family. One is openly troublesome, and the other is secretly troublesome. If they both take the spaceship, Shen Tang can imagine the chaotic life on the way.

Shen Tang then looked at Xue Yinzhou, "We also need you to keep an eye on things in the city. In case another spy infiltrates, I trust you with this matter."

Xue Yinzhou's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded, saying in a deep voice, "Yes, leave the city to me, you can go with peace of mind."

Shen Tang then looked at Lu Xiao. This perfect beast husband could drive a boat, cook, take care of people, and was also strong enough to protect people. He was a must-have for home and travel.

"Lu Xiao, you're coming with us too."

Lu Xiao looked surprised, seemingly not expecting her to think of him, then nodded and whispered, "Yes, Mistress."

Jialan was a little annoyed. No one would be happy to have a third wheel in their private time together.

However, considering that this eagle beast was usually taciturn and stayed in the cockpit, it was almost impossible to see anyone there, so whether he was there or not made no difference.

Moreover, Jialan was also worried that if something unexpected happened along the way, Lu Xiao, being stronger and a flying beastman, would be better able to protect Shen Tang, so she remained silent.

In a world for two, "air" doesn't count.

Xiao Jin was practically consumed with jealousy, but he also knew that Shen Tang's decision was correct; bringing Lu Xiao along was indeed more suitable.

Since the city needed him and Shen Li to stay and keep watch, he nodded in agreement.

Shen Li stroked Shen Tang's hair, leaned down and said softly, "Little Tang, be careful on the road. Contact me anytime if anything happens. Remember to stay safe."

This was, after all, her first time abroad, and they weren't by her side, so they were bound to be worried.

Shen Tang looked up at Shen Li, and a hint of worry flashed in his charming and affectionate fox-like eyes. It was not an act, and her heart stirred slightly.

Shen Tang asked the system, "How much favorability do the beast husbands have?"

[Ding, updating the target character's favorability now!]

Xiao Jin: Likes 99
Shen Li: Likes 50
Jialan: I like 95
Lu Xiao: Favorability 99
Snow Hidden Boat: Deep Love 20】

Thanks to Shen Tang's efforts over the past few days, Jia Lan's favorability rating has increased significantly, from 80 to 95, almost matching Xiao Jin's.

Lu Xiao's favorability rating has also increased, but it's stuck at a critical point and needs a breakthrough.

Shen Tang hasn't figured out where the breakthrough is yet.

Xiao Jin and Xue Yinzhou's favorability rating remained unchanged.

One is still stuck at the point of breaking through from liking to loving deeply, and needs to deepen the relationship, but unfortunately Shen Tang still has no clue.

The moment the leopard saw her, it pounced on her like a hungry tiger, its mind filled with nothing but that kind of thing. She had no chance to talk about feelings with it.

This jerk prefers to talk to her about...doing other fun activities.

The system also said that the higher the favorability rating, the harder it is to break through.

Deep love requires heartfelt communication. Shen Tang has been busy with things in the city lately, and her relationship with Xue Yinzhou hasn't progressed much. But there's no rush. Relationships need time to mature; being too hasty will only backfire.

The most difficult one to deal with is Shen Li.

Even after the close contact, his favorability rating only increased by 5 points.

Despite being able to sense Shen Li's affection at times, her favorability rating just wouldn't increase much!

On the night before leaving, Xiao Jin was reluctant to part and insisted on having sex with Shen Tang briefly and passionately. After she fell asleep, he helped her pack her luggage.

The next morning, Shen Tang boarded the spaceship with Jia Lan and Lu Xiao and left the Empire.

……

The clouds and mist seemed to swirl around her, and from her vantage point, the empire's mountains and rivers swept past her eyes.

Mountains and hills, ravines and plains, the vegetation with different features changes with latitude, presenting a beautiful and magnificent transformation.

New Atlantis is located in the northern border of the Nightfall Empire, where the temperature tends to be cold. According to Jialan, snow-capped mountains can even be seen at the edge of the sea.

Further north lies the Everwinter Empire, situated in the Arctic region.

The Nightfall Empire is not particularly powerful, but it has a very good geographical location.

In the North, there is New Atlantis, which has withstood the mighty Eternal Winter Empire.

The southern border contains the Forgotten Sea and the Acid Mist Swamp, isolating the Yiyuan Empire, the dominant power, from it.

The expansion of the contaminated border area is also very slow, making it a prime location.

Shen Tang slowly yawned, feeling sleepy. She tilted her head and leaned on Jia Lan's shoulder beside her.

Jialan stiffened and didn't move, letting her lean against her gently.

After an unknown amount of time, Jialan heard the female's soft breathing. Looking down, she found that the female had closed her eyes and fallen asleep.

Jialan's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. He gently pulled her into his arms and carried her to the room to rest.

Jialan helped her cover herself with the blanket, stood in front of the bed, and looked at the female's beautiful and delicate sleeping face. Her skin was fair and healthy, her eyelashes were curled like butterflies, and her rosy lips were all so alluring that they made him blush and his heart race.

Jialan couldn't hide his surging emotions and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

Then, he quickly returned to his room, grabbed a stack of blankets, and went straight to her room to sleep.

Jialan slept soundly tonight.

He had rarely slept well throughout his life, but he always slept soundly whenever he was with her...

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Jialan's favorability has increased by 4 points. Current favorability: [99% liking]! Please keep up the good work!]

Shen Tang was awakened by the system's notification sound.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the young man so close to her, his handsome and charming face magnified, and she held her breath.

Looking down again, I blushed and my heart raced.

That bastard took off his clothes and just put on a silk bathrobe, which wasn't very proper... it was practically the same as not wearing anything at all.

Jialan's arm was still loosely around her waist, her head nestled in the crook of her shoulder, and her brown hair gently brushed against her neck, tickling her.

Shen Tang was both annoyed and amused. She suddenly realized that this noble mermaid prince had become a completely different person after he fell in love with her.

He used to be aloof and sarcastic, looking down on people.

Now he's like a clingy puppy, always trying to get close to her whenever he gets the chance.

However, his affection level is stuck at 99, and I don't know how to advance it to deep love.

Shen Tang, as a working-class person, has a lot of headaches.

Time flies by.

Five days later, the spaceship crossed the border and officially landed in Atlantis' territory.

No extra chapter today. I'm thinking about the new plot outline, so I'll add an extra chapter tomorrow.
Good night~
