A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 222 The Lantern Festival: A Fleeting Glimpse

As Shen Li walked, he suddenly smelled a captivating and alluring fragrance.

He paused, his pupils dilated instantly, and a look of disorientation appeared on his face.

This fragrance...

He snapped out of his daze, sniffed around carefully, and finally his gaze fell on Shen Tang, who was following behind him.

Shen Li frowned and sniffed several times, confirming that the alluring fragrance was emanating from Shen Tang. Strange, it wasn't there just a moment ago, how come this little female suddenly smells so good...

The fragrance seemed to instantly arouse the desires in a male's heart, making even a man with a strong mind somewhat dazed. For other males, it was practically a walking aphrodisiac!
Shen Tang didn't expect Shen Li to suddenly stop. She couldn't stop in time and bumped into his back, letting out a soft cry.

She rubbed her nose, but before she could say anything, the man pulled her into his arms and held her close.

Shen Li buried his face in her neck, inhaling deeply with a blissful sensuality, his voice low and seductive, "Little Tang'er smells so good tonight~"

Shen Tang didn't expect the body fragrance pills to work so quickly!

She smelled it on her body but couldn't detect any odor. Apart from the added points to her personal information, she couldn't see any difference from before, so she naturally didn't understand the wonders of this pill.

[By the way, host, there's something else I haven't told you yet—an additional effect of the body odor pill.]

[For the host's convenience and safety, the host's body odor will have different effects on male beasts with different talents.]

[Ordinary male and female beasts smell of a faint floral fragrance, which is pleasing and evokes an instinctive sense of closeness, but its seduction effect is relatively low.]

[This will produce a stronger and more stimulating effect on male orcs of rank A or higher.]

The higher a male orc's talent, the more effective their body odor in attracting attention!

If the host wishes to modify the body odor parameters, they can do so through the system interface.

"..." This is quite convenient, but Shen Tang doesn't have any requirements for body fragrance, so she just uses the system's default parameters.

Many passersby stopped to stare. Shen Tang's cheeks flushed red, and she nudged his chest, saying, "Behave yourself in public!"

Shen Li let out a muffled chuckle, obediently released Shen Tang, lowered his head and kissed the tip of her nose, sighing softly, "Little Tang doesn't know how charming she is."

"This year's lantern festival is very grand, and many noble sons and young men will come."

"I don't even want to take you there."

Shen Tang chuckled, "It's not that exaggerated. Didn't you say the lantern festival is held every three years? If we miss it this time, we'll have to wait another two years. Let's hurry over!"

"it is good."

……

The riverside lantern festival drew huge crowds.

The nearby long street was covered with gauze lanterns, red, white and yellow, floating in the night and reflecting on the water, making it look mottled.

Many vendors set up stalls everywhere, selling uniquely shaped ancient lanterns. The lanterns were somewhat crudely and simply made, but for the orcs of this era, they were considered rare and interesting things.

Shen Qingli and Yun Han were also walking and shuttling on the street next door.

Shen Qingli took a fancy to a rabbit-shaped lantern, and Yun Han, wanting to make the beauty smile, went to the stall and bought the lantern.

He turned around, but the person was gone.

The road was bustling with pedestrians, a sea of ​​people, and if you weren't careful, you could be swept away by the crowd and disappear without a trace.

The smells in this place were too mixed, and Yun Han couldn't smell her scent for a moment.

"Qingli!" Yun Han called out anxiously as she weaved through the crowd.

Suddenly, Yun Han smelled a faint fragrance.

He stopped in his tracks, his face blank with shock.

He thought he was mistaken, but this faint fragrance stood out amidst the chaotic aromas, like a pure white jasmine flower blooming amidst the wild grass, captivating his soul.

His mind went blank, and almost instinctively, he headed toward the source of the fragrance.

Not far away, a beautiful and graceful figure was standing in front of the stall, picking and choosing.

Even though it was just a silhouette, with her face hidden, her graceful figure and noble aura set her apart from the ordinary people around her, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

Qingli?

Yun Han was taken aback, thinking that she had changed her clothes in the short time that had passed. However, her figure seemed to be fuller and more graceful.

Yun Han didn't think about it too much and strode over.

In the blink of an eye, a group of orcs walked past. When Yun Han hurried over, the person had already vanished without a trace, like a graceful butterfly fluttering away under the moon.

He looked around anxiously.

Suddenly, Shen Qingli's urgent voice came from behind, "Brother Yunhan, I'm here! I've finally found you!"

Yun Han paused for a moment, then turned around to look behind him.

Shen Qingli pushed her way through the crowd and walked toward him.

Yun Han's eyes were filled with astonishment. Qing Li was behind him? Who was that female who was in front just now?
He admitted his mistake?

Looking across the entire imperial city, apart from Shen Qingli, which noble lady from any other family has such a figure and temperament?
Yun Han regretted not being able to see her face clearly, but he could imagine that she was an absolutely stunning and breathtaking beauty.

But that's strange, how come he's never seen him before?
Yun Han fell into deep thought for a moment, not even hearing Shen Qingli call him several times.

Seeing Yun Han standing there blankly, seemingly lost in thought, Shen Qingli was furious. She quickly squeezed through the crowd, grabbed his arm, and said coquettishly, "Brother Yun Han, what are you thinking about? You didn't even come to pick me up! That crowd almost pushed me out of the picture!"

Yun Han came to her senses and saw her beautiful and charming face, but she could no longer smell that alluring fragrance.

He smiled and changed the subject, "Where did you go just now?"

“I saw a light show performance over there and wanted to call you over, but you got pushed away before I knew it.”

"Okay, let's go take a look."

Yun Han took her away.

Before leaving, he subconsciously looked towards the stall, but he didn't see that figure again.

Strange, could it be that he really saw it wrong?

……

Meanwhile, Shen Tang was picking out masks at a stall when Shen Li suddenly dragged her to the riverbank.

She said angrily, "I haven't even paid yet, why did you drag me here?"

"Look, the river lanterns here are very beautiful. I heard that if lovers make a wish on the river lantern, it will come true." Shen Li's slender fingers brushed through her slightly messy long hair by her ear, his face smiling gently and alluringly.

Shen Tang didn't think much of it and looked towards the riverbank as he said.

Along the riverbank, there were many young people in pairs, groups of three or four, standing under trees or squatting by the river, each holding a lantern in their hands.

Lanterns floated on the river, their flames flickering, drifting downstream and weaving a galaxy of stars.

Shen Tang was instantly intrigued and excitedly ran to the riverbank.

Shen Li smiled, her red lips curving upwards, and slowly followed.

Shen Tang was eager to try it out. Just as she was about to turn around and ask him to buy a river lantern, his slender, jade-like hand took the mask and put it on her face, instantly narrowing her vision.

Shen Tang curiously touched the pattern on the mask; it was the cat mask she had picked out at the stall.

She looked up at the tall, handsome red-haired man in front of her.

Shen Li took a fox mask, put it on her face, and concealed her stunningly beautiful and alluring features.

His fiery red fox tail swayed gently like a fan behind him, reflecting the starry sky. His hair fluttered in the wind, making him look like a mysterious and beautiful spirit, as if he might run into the deep forest and disappear at any moment.

Shen Tang couldn't help but hold her breath.

Shen Li leaned down and chuckled, "Little Tang'er is staring at Brother Li without blinking, are you mesmerized?"

He said it so bluntly that Shen Tang blushed and turned her head away, "I didn't!"

Shen Li pinched her chin with his fingers, turned her around, looked at the mask on her face, and suddenly spoke, "What an adorable and adorable little kitten. Speaking of which, I haven't seen your beast form yet, Xiao Tang'er..."
