A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 202 I'm sorry, I hurt you

The palace was luxuriously furnished, and the bedroom contained a huge seashell bed, large enough for two people to sleep comfortably.

The bed was covered with soft silk bedding, and the seashells were inlaid with round pearls as big as fists. Beaded curtains and gauze curtains hung at the opening, partially obscuring the view.

Jialan felt a sharp pain in his head. His memories of being unconscious were fragmented, making it difficult for him to recall what had happened. Yet, he felt an indescribable dull ache and discomfort.

Jialan opened her eyes with a hoarse voice and saw Shen Tang beside her. Her tense and aching heart suddenly softened and ached. "Tang Tang..."

Hearing the sound, Shen Tang snapped out of her daze and looked at Jia Lan.

The young man's eyes turned into clear blue pupils, with a hint of confusion and unease in their depths, but it was an expression she recognized.

Shen Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, she noticed that Jialan's aura surged dramatically, breaking through from the peak of the sixth rank to the seventh rank! What a blessing in disguise!

"That's great, you're finally awake, and you've even broken through in strength." Shen Tang said softly, her heart filled with joy.

Jialan couldn't remember what happened while he was unconscious, but he knew that Shen Tang had been with him the whole time.

He stretched out his arms to hold the female in his embrace, and the familiar scent emanating from her would make him feel at ease.

But as she got closer, Jialan smelled a strong stench of blood...

Jialan's spirits lifted, her expression tense. "You're injured?"

"I'm fine...uh!" Shen Tang moved, which aggravated her wound, causing her to grimace in pain and her face to turn pale.

She looked down at the wounds on her body, especially the one that almost pierced her abdomen. It was bloody and the pain had lasted so long that her body had become numb.

Damn, I almost forgot she was seriously injured.

The situation was too urgent before, and Shen Tang hadn't had time to treat herself.

Jialan followed her gaze and, upon seeing the wound on her abdomen, her pupils contracted sharply, and her voice turned icy cold, "Who hurt you!"

The next second, when he saw the claw marks on Shen Tang's body, he was stunned and his eyes were full of disbelief.

Why do these scars look...like they were left by him?

The residual energy fluctuations at the wound were exactly the same as his ice-type ability.

The person who hurt her—was him?!

Jialan's breathing stopped abruptly, her outstretched fingers froze in mid-air, she dared not touch her again.

My heart felt like it was being stabbed, and I experienced waves of excruciating pain.

His voice was hoarse and deep, "...I hurt you, didn't I?"

Shen Tang had intended to make up an excuse to cover it up, but she didn't expect him to see through it so quickly. After a pause, she gently comforted him, "It's nothing, just a minor injury. Don't worry about it. It's not like you did it on purpose."

Anyway, she has healing abilities, so as long as she doesn't die, it's all just minor injuries.

Shen Tang was about to use her healing abilities to heal her injuries.

suddenly.

"Splat!"

Her movements came to an abrupt halt.

A gray pearl fell onto the bed.

Shen Tang was dumbfounded.

When she looked up, she met Jia Lan's red eyes. He stared intently at the wound on her abdomen, his fingers trembling as if he wanted to comfort her but dared not touch it.

Tears streamed down his delicate and handsome face, almost forming a continuous line.

A series of crackling sounds.

A string of pearls fell into her arms, onto the bed, and onto the floor.

It will fall anywhere.

"I'm sorry, I remember now. I lost control and hurt you. I... I even wanted to kill you..." Jia Lan's voice choked, and her tears fell even more heavily.

Shen Tangren was stunned; she never imagined he could produce so many tears. It was also the first time she had ever known that the color of a mermaid's tears changed depending on her emotions.

When mermaids are sad, their tears turn into these grayish pearls.

Fortunately, the raw materials for the inhibitor did not specify a particular emotion; as long as it was mermaid tears, it would be fine to take it back and use it.

[Wow! Host, don't rush to treat him. Let him cry, cry his heart out! Let him cry his heart out in remorse! Almost 100 pills... 98, 99, 100, 101! Host, this trip was really worth it! We exceeded our target!]

Shen Tang was speechless. "It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering. Do you even know how badly your host is injured? If we keep waiting like this, his tears won't be dry before I'm bleeding dry..."

She was really afraid that Jialan would cry herself blind, so she quickly used her healing ability to heal the wound, leaving no scars, as if she had never been injured.

Jialan finally stopped crying, but he still felt guilty.

He recalled how he almost killed Shen Tang when he lost control and went berserk.

If he were to wake up and discover that he was holding a corpse in his arms, Jialan would probably feel guilty and heartbroken and follow her in death.

"I'm sorry, Tangtang, it's all my fault, I..."

"You're back, and that's the best thing for me!" Shen Tang couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she wrapped her arms around Jia Lan's neck and kissed his warm, wet lips.

She nuzzled his nose and murmured softly, "Whether I'm alright or not, why don't you... try it yourself?"

Jialan's breath suddenly stopped, her body felt hot, and her blood boiled.

With the female's deliberate provocation igniting his passion, he could no longer resist and rolled over to pin her down.

A long, deep blue fishtail materialized, tightly encircling the female beneath him.

The beaded curtain may obscure the intoxicating spring light, but it cannot block out the enchanting sounds and movements.

A corner of the beaded curtain was lifted.

Its soft, gauze-like tail fin brushed against her legs, growing increasingly urgent.

Sometimes it rolls and turns.

I do not know how long it has been.

It gradually came to a stop.

The next morning, Shen Tang woke up to a system notification in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Jialan's favorability has reached the level of Deep Love! A generous reward is now being issued to you—]

[The host is rewarded with one [Fragrance Pill], granting you an irresistible body scent that will captivate any man!]

[Reward: One [Resurrection Pill] . Note: This is a special item and can only be used once on the target character!]

[Reward: One chance to perform a deduction [The Truth Revealed]!]

[The physical rewards have been automatically sent to your system inventory. Please check them yourself. Virtual rewards can be redeemed at any time, so please remember to redeem them!]

After receiving a barrage of rewards, Shen Tang was completely overwhelmed.

I didn't expect to receive so many items as a reward for this breakthrough in love; they all seem quite useful.

The body fragrance pills can increase her charm.

The Resurrection Pill—just from the name, you can tell it's an important item. She needs to keep it safe so it can be used when she encounters a life-threatening situation.

As for the opportunity to deduce the truth...

How do I use the simulation opportunity?

The system explained, "[This world is full of mysterious and unsolved cases buried in time, forever silenced. The host can use this opportunity to uncover the truth. For example, if someone wants to harm you, the host can investigate the culprit behind it.]"

Shen Tang's mind raced. "Alright, I'll use this opportunity to find out who's behind Jia Lan's murder!"

[This is a rare opportunity. Are you sure you want to use it, host?]

"Yes, if we don't find these rats hiding in the shadows soon, we're giving them the opportunity to reproduce and expand. Their future retaliation will definitely be even more ferocious. We must eradicate them as soon as possible!"

I got back late today, so there won't be an extra update.

Good night~
