A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 195 These are just appetizers

The people present were filled with doubt and uncertainty.

I heard that Shen Tang is plain-looking, incompetent, and after losing his spiritual power, he became even more self-destructive, ugly and fat, and as disgusting as a rat crossing the street.

But the female before him was stunningly beautiful, with a unique and aloof demeanor, completely different from the rumors!
A hint of surprise flashed in Empress Garuda's eyes, but she didn't care. Her cold gaze swept over Shen Tang as if it were just air.

She looked at Lisa, whose face was half red and swollen, and frowned as she asked, "What happened?"

"Your Majesty! You must do me justice! This foreign female slapped me without saying a word and pushed me to the ground... Look at the injuries on my body, she's just jealous of my relationship with Brother Jialan!" Lisa cried out as if she had found a lifeline.

The Empress turned to look at Shen Tang, her eyes filled with disgust. "Did you do this?"

Shen Tang bowed and said frankly, "Your Majesty, I did this, but Lady Lisa struck first. I was merely giving her a taste of her own medicine. If Your Majesty wishes to punish someone, you should punish both of us!"

Lisa glared and shouted angrily, "Shut up, you bitch..."

"You're the one who should shut up! You know best what you've done!" Jia Lan's voice was as cold as ice. Her icy gaze at Lisa was like a knife to her heart. Her beautiful eyes reddened and tears welled up, making her look even more pitiful.

There was no pity in Jialan's eyes, but rather a growing disgust.

He stepped forward, shielding Shen Tang behind him and blocking everyone's view. He met the Empress's scrutinizing gaze and said coldly, "Mother, Tangtang did nothing wrong. If you want to punish someone, punish me! It was my dereliction of duty that prevented her from protecting the Mistress, causing her to suffer such injustice today. It's all my fault!"

Garuda stared at the two of them, his long, cold brows furrowed, wondering what had gotten into his beloved youngest son today.

During the year or so he stayed in the polluted area, he complained every day about wanting a divorce.

Since the marriage between the two countries had only been going on for a short time, Garuda, as the empress, could not break off the marriage so soon. She could only ask him to stay there for a while and promised to cancel the engagement and take him back to the Sea Kingdom when he returned.

To be honest, Garuda didn't think much of Shen Tang either. If it weren't for Jialan's special physique and the lack of S-class females in the country, she would never have married her beloved prince to her.

Now that Shen Tang has lost his S-level mental power, he has completely lost his value.

Upon her return, she planned to dissolve the marriage alliance between the two countries.

I thought their relationship had deteriorated to the point of no return, but now it seems that's not the case.

That's strange.

Even so, Garuda still intended for the two to divorce. Merfolk were actually quite xenophobic, and she didn't need to marry her son to this worthless foreign princess. Instead, she would let Jialan marry the most beautiful female of the younger generation of merfolk, Princess Lisa, so that they could have several litters of talented and beautiful pure-blooded merfolk, adding offspring to the royal family and creating a beautiful story.

"Lan'er, have you forgotten what your mother said to you in the palace?" Jialouluo's lips parted slightly, her voice carrying an undeniable authority.

Jia Lan's expression stiffened slightly, and she said coldly, "I said, I disagree!"

"Oh? Didn't you say you liked Princess Lisa back then? I was also very optimistic about this marriage and wanted to bestow a marriage contract upon you two."

Shen Tang was stunned. She hadn't expected that the two of them were actually engaged. So Jia Lan had a first love in the sea tribe.

She turned to look at Jialan, "No wonder you always kept saying you wanted a divorce, it turns out you never intended to live a good life with me."

Jialan nervously explained, "That's not true, those were just nonsense from my youth, I've long forgotten about them!"

After saying that, he took her hand and looked solemnly at the Queen and everyone present, "The past is the past. Now that I am marrying Shen Tang, she is my rightful partner. I will not divorce her! Nor will I marry any other female!" This time, not only were the beastmen present shocked and speechless, but Queen Garuda also frowned and looked at him, not knowing what to say for a moment.

She loved her son very much, and if this was truly his wish, she couldn't force him.

However, Garuda really looked down on Shen Tang. Although her appearance was not bad, it was just a shell. There were plenty of beautiful female merfolk.

Shen Tang's beauty is not unparalleled.

Not to mention, she is a female from another race, and it is said that she is mediocre and incompetent in terms of personality and talent. How could she be worthy of Jialan?

Shen Tang looked at Jia Lan, who was standing in front of her, and felt a surge of emotion. But she was the one who had come to negotiate today, and she couldn't just hide behind him.

Shen Tang stepped forward calmly, meeting the various gazes, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "I have come to the Sea Kingdom this time to negotiate a deal with Your Majesty. Why don't you first see my sincerity?"

The woman possessed a beautiful appearance and a noble and unique temperament; simply standing in a crowd, she became an unmissable focal point.

His Majesty Garuda lowered his eyes to look at her, his cool voice carrying a hint of amusement and disdain, "Oh, then tell me, what bargaining chips have you brought?"

The sea kingdom is rich and vast. Garuda has been the queen for many years and she has asked herself what kind of rare treasures she hasn't seen in the world. Nothing can arouse her interest anymore.

Not to mention that, in the eyes of the Sea Kingdom, the Night Glow Empire is a poor place with few resources, except that its technology is quite advanced. The two countries are neighbors with close trade relations and their relationship is currently relatively harmonious.

"I know that Your Majesty is familiar with all the treasures in the world, so what I brought this time is a specialty that the Sea Kingdom does not have as a gift. I hope Your Majesty will not find it offensive." Shen Tang took out several large bags of premium rice, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and various vegetables and grains that she had prepared in advance in her spatial storage.

Everyone's lips twitched violently upon seeing this scene!

She cursed inwardly: "She really is a down-on-her-luck princess from a poor, remote place. She tries to fool people with a bunch of vegetable leaves. Doesn't she feel ashamed?"
Do they really think their ocean kingdom is a garbage recycling center?
She's not just stupid, she's just out of her mind!
Lisa covered her swollen cheek, almost bursting out laughing. Unfortunately, laughing made her cheek ache, and her eyes grew even more ferocious as she sneered, "This princess really thought you had something good hidden away. Heh, you flatter me! Who are you trying to fool with a bunch of garbage? Is this your so-called sincerity? You wretch, you didn't come here to insult us, did you!"

Garuda's face was grim. She had never seen such things before, never seen... such casual, vulgar, and cheap gifts.

For a moment, I really couldn't understand whether this foreign princess was genuinely stupid or had ulterior motives.

“These local specialties are just appetizers. They may look unremarkable, but I guarantee Her Majesty will love them after trying them. What follows is the real bargaining chip I want to use for cooperation.”

Shen Tang took out a box of inhibitors from her spatial storage.

The laughter that had been sung instantly fell silent.

The crowd looked at the inhibitor in her hand, their expressions varied, and they began to discuss it amongst themselves.

"I seem to have heard that Shen Tang developed a new inhibitor a few months ago, and I heard that it is particularly effective. Could it be true?"

"I've heard about it too. The envoy sent to the Night Glow Empire last time came back and mentioned it. But I thought it was just a rumor, just a little trick between the two princesses vying for the throne. How could an inhibitor be so easy to develop?"

"Before inhibitors are officially launched on the market, most of these rumors are just hearsay and no one will believe them."

"Could she be trying to fool His Majesty with a fake?"
