A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 229 The Female Master's Birthday, I'm Late (Bonus Chapter for Donations)
Hearing the exclamations and murmurs around her, Shen Tang was so shocked that she didn't know what to say.

them……

They all remembered her birthday and even prepared such a precious gift.

It's obvious that Jialan brought this crown from the Sea Kingdom. Even in the wealthy Sea Kingdom, this crown is incredibly valuable. I wonder if his mother knows this.

Seeing that she was standing there dumbfounded, unable to even speak, Jialan chuckled softly and simply raised the crown and placed it on her head.

He narrowed his deep blue peach blossom eyes, a smile playing on his lips, clearly very satisfied.

She couldn't resist making a sarcastic comment, "You would have looked even better in that blue fishtail dress today."

Shen Li glanced at him, her smile gentle, "Little Tang'er is more beautiful than flowers, she looks good in anything."

Compared to the relaxed banter here, Shen Qingli and Yun Han's feelings were much more complicated.

Just then, a servant outside the door announced something.

"Young Master Lu Xiao, please come in!"

Shen Tang turned to look at the door, her face showing surprise. She hadn't expected Lu Xiao to be back today as well.

Lu Xiao had told her beforehand that he was very busy with many things at the military and family levels, and he also needed to take time to return to the Air Force for an important ceremony. She had thought he wouldn't be back for a while, but she hadn't expected him to return earlier than planned.

Lu Xiao walked into the hall. He was tall and imposing, with handsome and upright features, and exuded a unique and extremely attractive aura!

He must have just rushed back from the Air Force overnight. He hadn't even had time to take off his dark blue general's uniform yet, with golden tassels flowing down his shoulders. His nearly two-meter-tall body stood tall and straight like a pine tree, exuding a strong sense of pressure. His military uniform was stretched taut, with sharp creases on his chest.

The restless crowd quieted down instantly.

Many noblewomen's eyes fell on him, their longing barely concealed. You must know that in the past, Lu Xiao was undoubtedly among the top three most popular men in the capital!
When it comes to the most desired marriage alliances, this is undoubtedly number one.

She is top-notch in terms of appearance, figure, family background, and personality.

A perfect marriage partner.

It's a pity she was destined to marry into the royal family; otherwise, they would have taken action long ago.

Lu Xiao ignored the various gazes around him, and walked straight up to Shen Tang without looking to either side.
With a look of guilt, he said, "I'm sorry, Mistress, today is your birthday, I'm late."

"...Did you come back specifically because of this?"

Shen Tang's gaze fell on the medal on his chest, her throat tightened slightly, and she said solemnly, "I've already said, your matter is the most important, there's no need to come back halfway."

"But in my heart, matters concerning the female master should come first." Lu Xiao wasn't one to say sweet words, but every word he spoke was from the bottom of his heart.

He took her hand and knelt on one knee.

With the highest courtesy.

Present a congratulatory gift.

"Please open it yourself, Mistress."

Shen Tang's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the brocade box he handed over, her fingertips curled slightly as she solemnly accepted it.

Upon opening, there were no fancy decorations; instead, a ring that shimmered with a cold light lay quietly on the velvet.

After Shen Tang took it out, she could finally see the engraving on the ring under the light—

It's the Lu family seal!?
This completely shocked the entire audience!
Not only those young and vain scions of noble families, but also the heads of several noble families present stood up and stared intently at the ring in Shen Tang's hand!
This is the family crest of the Lu family, one of the two top aristocratic families.

Whoever possesses this ring will be able to control the entire Lu family and all the forces under its command!
It not only represents an honor above all others and unparalleled power, but also one-third of the empire's military power!
Lu Xiao actually gave this family crest to his partner!?
After marriage, most males hand over their property to the female, although this is not explicitly stipulated by law. Human nature is inherently selfish and self-preserving. Males and females unite for love, desire, offspring, and interests. However, males from powerful families are very clever. They will hand over their property after marriage, but they will never relinquish their real power to the female. Otherwise, if the relationship breaks down, they will lose everything.

History has taught them many painful lessons, making them even more cautious and determined not to relinquish power easily.

Even Yun Han, the beloved and affectionate beast husband praised by everyone, never thought of handing over the family crest to Shen Qingli.

At this moment, Yun Han was also deeply shocked.

His face was tense, his narrow black eyes became even more profound as he stared intently at Lu Xiao and Shen Tang, unable to understand why Lu Xiao, his intelligent rival and colleague, would do such a stupid thing.

The family leaders present were inwardly turbulent.

They are experienced and knowledgeable.

To be honest, those precious treasures that people admire don't have much practical value in their eyes.

No matter how precious or rare the gifts Yun Han and the others give are, they are just beautiful decorations. How can they compare to real power?

Not to mention, it is supreme military power that can change dynasties!

Crazy, really crazy!
These young people are all crazy!
Shen Qingli's face turned extremely pale. She refused to believe what she was seeing. She had initially thought the necklace was beautiful and precious, and was overjoyed.

Compared to this, it's nothing but beautiful trash, utterly worthless!
That damn bitch, she stole her thunder again.

Why?
Today is clearly her birthday party, but this bitch has repeatedly thwarted her and embarrassed her!

Shen Qingli even suspected that this bitch had taken on a mission specifically to disgust her.

When the thought flashed through her mind, Shen Qingli was startled. But when she seriously recalled the earth-shattering changes since Shen Tang came back, it was as if he had become a completely different person, both in appearance and personality.

Is it possible that this bitch... wasn't the same idiot she was before?

Shen Qingli opened the system page and found that the system upgrade was 95% complete. She would get the answer in two more days at most.

……

Yun Han sat on the sofa, his eyes fixed on Shen Tang, gripping the wine glass tightly, his aura turning cold and gloomy.

Did she do it on purpose?

Is it because he hurt her back then that she's putting on a show for him today, trying to humiliate his pride?
Don't think he didn't notice that the beastmen Shen Tang later found all had some of his traits.

Yun Han let out a short, mocking laugh. She had been infatuated with him back then, and had even said that she could not live without him. But after she could not have him, she found a substitute to replace him.
The fact that she came here specifically to humiliate him today proves that she still can't forget him.

She still loved him.

Back then, Yun Han felt nauseous at the thought of being constantly on Shen Tang's mind, but for some reason, that feeling disappeared now, and a strange feeling rose in his heart. He thought that she would definitely come to find him after the banquet.

Yun Han swirled the wine glass in his hand for a long time, but didn't drink a drop.

But this continued until the banquet was almost over.

Shen Tang spent the entire time drinking and chatting with the beastmen, laughing and joking, creating a harmonious and cheerful atmosphere, without even glancing in his direction.

Yun Han's handsome face grew even more tense, his brows and eyes deep and unfathomable. He stroked the wine glass in his hand. Seeing Shen Tang suddenly get up and leave, he hesitated for a moment, then made up an excuse to go over as well.

Shen Tang got a free ride to a birthday party and was in a great mood, so she ate a little too much without realizing it.

She had just come out of the restroom when she turned around and bumped into Yun Han!

Good night~
