A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 209 Crushed Fragrance (Bonus Chapter for Donations)

Shen Tang touched the flower wreath on her head and smiled, "Does it look good?"

“Very beautiful.” Lu Xiao gazed at her intently, praising her without reservation, “The Mistress is the most beautiful female in my heart.”

Shen Tang chuckled and teased, "You're the eldest young master of the Lu family, you've seen countless beauties since you were a child! Not to mention, I once heard that Shen Qingli wanted to marry you and went to the Lu family specifically to find you, weren't you ever tempted?"

Shen Tang is quite self-aware. She is quite pretty now, but she is ultimately just a supporting actress and is still inferior to the female lead.

Just as described in the original novel, Shen Qingli is the most beautiful woman in the Nightfall Empire.

Lu Xiao's current affection for her is merely that he likes to stand out, far from the level of deep love. There is always the possibility of him falling in love with someone else. Could it be that he has never had even a slight feeling for Shen Qingli?
Lu Xiao looked at her beautiful and charming face, and her bright, sparkling eyes, his eyes full of gossip. He sighed deeply, "Mistress, have you forgotten what I said back then?"

“My words at the investiture ceremony were all from the bottom of my heart.”

He raised his hand to stroke Shen Tang's face, plucked a petal from her hair, and whispered, "The flowers in the world are all beautiful in their own way, and there are countless wildflowers all over the mountains, but only this one has fallen into my palm."

Lu Xiao gazed at her and said, word by word, "You are the mistress I have chosen, and my eyes will only ever be on you."

If Shen Li had said these words to Xiao Jin, they would have been sweet talk, making Shen Tang's ears tingle, but she shouldn't have taken them to heart.

Lu Xiao looked at her with an open and honest gaze, clearly telling her that he truly meant it.

Shen Tang's heart, which had just calmed down a bit, suddenly raced again.

She looked at the man in front of her. Lu Xiao was very handsome, with a very rugged and deep appearance, exuding a mature masculine charm.

His physique goes without saying: broad shoulders, narrow waist, strong and muscular, every muscle line exudes power, radiating an elegant wildness, a sense of aggression hidden in gentleness, which is extremely captivating.

Further down...

Shen Tang quickly looked away, her face burning.

That’s all.

He was able to hold back and answer her questions seriously, which was really...

Shen Tang couldn't stand it anymore. She was too lazy to continue their romantic evenings with Lu Xiao and decided to get straight to business, otherwise she was afraid he would get too stifled.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his lips.

Lu Xiao's breath hitched, and the veins on his arm, which was resting on her waist, stood out. The fragrance of flowers carried by the mountain breeze was even more intense. He rolled over and pressed down on her, and the two fell into the sea of ​​flowers.

Lu Xiao took out a soft blanket from his spatial storage and laid it under the two of them.

Shen Tang lay on her back in the snow-white bedding, her long, thick black hair cascading down her back. Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were dreamy, and her whole being exuded a captivating charm.

Lu Xiao lowered his head and kissed her lips, his hands reverently tracing her lower back upwards, inch by inch, before sliding down her neck and slowly untying her robes, as if untying the ribbon of a gift.

A moment later, the clothes fell to the ground.

A mountain breeze blew by, and it was a bit chilly.

Lu Xiao held her tightly in his arms.

His intense body heat was transmitted closely to her.

Shen Tang buried her face in his broad, straight, and deep shoulder hollow, biting her red lips tightly. Her watery eyes were shimmering, but then slowly became lost in thought...

I do not know how long it has been.

Lu Xiao took a deep breath.

He seemed to think that wasn't enough, so he turned her over and kissed her back.

The waves of the flower sea surged ever more fiercely, crushing the flowers in waves, leaving a fragrant trail on the ground.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, in Greenfield City.

Xiao Jin was still working hard at the construction site.

At midday, under the blazing sun, he leaped and sat atop the gray wall, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth. Leaning back with his arms propped against the wall, he idly watched the orcs below carrying stones back and forth.

My heart grew increasingly agitated. Every now and then, I would look up at the sky, like that gazing-at-wife-longing stone.

Unfortunately, after looking for a long time, apart from a sparrow almost pooping on him, there was nothing else, not even a shadow of a spaceship.

Xiao Jin's face turned black with anger.

He narrowed his sharp golden eyes, pressed his tongue hard against his back teeth, and was extremely displeased.

She's been gone for half a month, why hasn't she come back yet?

Even if there are further delays on the road, she should be back in the country by now, right?

Xiao Jin couldn't wait any longer, so he used his personal terminal to make a call, which showed that the other party was in the service area.

That means I'm going back to China!

The computer kept ringing for ages, but no one answered. In the end, someone manually hung up on it!
What's the situation?
He got rejected?!

She actually dared to refuse his call?!

Xiao Jin was so angry that he dialed more than a dozen numbers, but they were all hung up on. When he tried to call again, he found that he couldn't get through—he had been blacklisted!
"Shen Tang! You've got some nerve! You dare not answer my call!" Xiao Jin was so angry that he immediately bristled. He suddenly stood up and lunged forward, forgetting that he was still on the wall. "Thump!" He lost his footing and fell hard, landing face-first in the mud.

Hearing the commotion outside, Shen Li knew who had caused it.

He rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on, and stepped out from behind the thatched hut.

Not far away, Xiao Jin limped to his feet, covering half of his handsome face, looking utterly miserable.

Shen Li narrowed his long, shimmering fox eyes, his fluffy, fiery red fox tail swaying lightly behind him, a hint of schadenfreude in his voice. "Didn't you take your medicine today? What's wrong with you?"

"Tch, I don't know who can't even keep track of the accounts these days. They keep making mistakes when we check them, and we have to stay up all night to double-check them." Xiao Jin immediately retorted with a cold laugh.

Shen Li's face darkened. He looked up at the sky and said in a low voice, "Jialan finally managed to bring her back, so she'll definitely try to stall for time."

As she spoke, Shen Li suddenly thought of Lu Xiao again, and her brows furrowed slightly.

This eagle-beast was usually honest and unassuming, never fighting or grabbing anything, so no one paid it any attention this time.

But for some reason, his right eyelid has been twitching non-stop for the past two days, and he has a feeling that something bad has happened.

Shen Tang has been gone for half a month. After being away for so long, it seems that something is slipping out of control...

Xue Yinzhou leaned against the corner of the wall, his face cold and expressionless, emanating a dark and chilling aura that caused the beastmen working there to consciously avoid him and not dare to get close.

Recently, he destroyed another stronghold in the city and arrested more than a dozen spies sent from outside the city. He didn't send them to prison. Those spies became punching bags for him to vent his anger on, and they suffered inhuman torture at his hands!

It's worse than being tortured in prison!
They managed to get these well-trained spies to reveal the mastermind behind it all.

They were also sent by a powerful family. The Liu family didn't have much of a grudge against Shen Tang, but the family head was a supporter of Shen Qingli. He couldn't stand Shen Tang's arrogant and domineering attitude these days, so he wanted to teach them a lesson.

next morning.

News has come from the capital—

The head of the Liu family died tragically overnight, and the murderer has yet to be found.

There has been much discussion and speculation about who the murderer of the Liu family patriarch was.

The emperor even mobilized the army to investigate the matter, but they found no trace of the murderer, and it remains a mystery to this day.

Shen Li glanced thoughtfully at the Snow-Hidden Boat in the corner. The serpent beast hadn't been there that night, and when it returned the next day at noon, it was enveloped in a bloody aura...

Ah.

What a lunatic.

Xiao Tang'er is the chain that holds this snake-beast in place.

If she doesn't come back soon, this snake will go berserk.
