A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 234 Revenge Was Received
After Xiao Jin was taken to the police station, the surveillance footage was reviewed and a statement was taken.

It was indeed Liu Chen and his group who provoked first. Although Xiao Jin went a bit too far, theoretically it could be considered legitimate self-defense.

Moreover, he was very careful in his attack. Anyone with eyes could see that although the beating was quite severe, it did not result in a fatal injury and could not be classified as a major injury.

The police investigated his file and learned that he was a major general who had risked his life for the empire back then, and was now Princess Shen Tang's lover. After some maneuvering, they had no choice but to release him.

……

After reading the whole story, Shen Tang fell silent, his face unusually cold and stern.

Okay, she remembered it: the Liu family of the imperial city!
It's one thing to insult her, but to dare to bully her beastly husband is another.

She made note of this!

They completely forgot how badly Xiao Jin had beaten that young master.

After calming down from her deep thoughts, Shen Tang turned to look at Xiao Jin, who was engrossed in eating and acting as if nothing had happened.

The dog-man seemed to sense her scrutinizing gaze, and the round black panther ears in his hair drooped down even more, clearly showing he had a guilty conscience!

Shen Tang's lips twitched, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Ultimately, the matter was not exposed.

After finishing her meal, Shen Tang went to rest on a rattan chair in the hotel courtyard.

After the beastmen went about their business, she called Xue Yinzhou over alone, "Go and keep an eye on the Liu family for me, especially that young master of the Liu family. I wonder if he has been discharged from the hospital yet."

"The Liu family?" Xue Yinzhou looked puzzled. In his memory, they had never had any conflict with the Liu family.

Shen Tang explained, "I've heard some rumors before. It seems that Xiao Jin was injured that night because of a conflict with one of the young masters of the Liu family... Anyway, keep a close eye on things, and tell me immediately if there's any trouble!"

"Okay." Xue Yinzhou nodded and was about to turn and leave.

"Wait!" Shen Tang suddenly remembered something and quickly called out to him, "Come here first."

Xue Yinzhou turned to look at her again, his clear, cold phoenix eyes filled with a hint of confusion, but he still obediently stepped forward.

Then, his body stiffened!
The female boldly pulled open his collar, revealing a large expanse of his pale, muscular chest, which shone with a jade-like translucence and delicacy under the sunlight.

This piece of jade, which should have been flawless, clearly has a flaw.

A shallow scar appeared on his left chest, right in the center of his heart.

This shallow scar is not visible from a distance, but it becomes immediately apparent upon close inspection.

That was the spot where he plucked the scales from his heart.

Shen Tang gently traced the scar with her slender white fingers, and asked with a complicated expression, "Will this leave a scar? Why didn't you tell me?"

“Before, there were more scars here.” Xue Yinzhou took her hand and placed it on his chest. “But this time, it’s my own choice. You don’t need to feel guilty.”

He looked down and saw Shen Tang's distressed expression.

Ah... she felt sorry for him.

Once again, he saw her heartbroken for him.

This scene stirred Xue Yinzhou's emotions. For some reason, it made his mouth dry, and every nerve and cell in his body radiated an indescribable joy and heat... But he hid his emotions very well, his face was cold and composed, and he did not let the female perceive the change in his mood.

Xue Yinzhou's fingertips twitched, but he couldn't resist and hugged Shen Tang in his arms.

He lowered his head and kissed her neck.

The cool snake tongue gently licked.

Shen Tang's heart beat faster and faster, and a faint blush appeared on her face.

Xue Yinzhou asked with restraint, "Is it alright, Tangtang?"

Ever since he angered her last time, he hasn't asked her for anything like that again.

Xueyinzhou was, after all, a serpent beast, and its instincts were difficult to control.

She wasn't really angry.

Shen Tang couldn't bear to refuse him, and besides, his words had stirred up her deepest desires.

"Don't forget the important matter... tone it down!"

Upon hearing her agree, Xue Yinzhou's handsome face broke into a gentle smile. "I will be gentle." Then, he carried her back to the room.

After a night of passion, Shen Tang was awakened by an alarm from the system in her mind.

[Something terrible has happened, host! Your leopard husband is in trouble!]

Shen Tang's morning grumpiness vanished instantly. Her eyes widened, and she asked nervously, "What happened again after only one night?"

[Is that even a question? It's obviously revenge!]

The system reported, "[That young master of the Liu family was severely beaten by Xiao Jin last time and harbors a deep grudge. He recuperated in the hospital for several days and was just discharged today. He immediately summoned all the experts in his family and offered a hefty bounty on over a hundred elite beastmen, all of whom are at least sixth-rank or higher, along with more than a dozen seventh-rank beastmen and one mid-eighth-rank beastman, whom he obtained from his father. This morning, they surrounded Xiao Jin, determined to avenge their humiliation and exact revenge!]"

[That incident last time caused quite a stir; even the head of the Liu family found out and was furious, determined to teach him a lesson!]

Xiao Jin is now on the entire Liu family's blacklist; he's likely doomed this time!

Shen Tang's mood was extremely gloomy. No matter how good Xiao Jin was at fighting, he couldn't possibly take on a hundred people by himself, especially since there was also an eighth-level beastman on the other side!
This isn't a brawl; the other side is aiming for a brutal massacre!
Xue Yinzhou woke up as well and saw Shen Tang's pale and anxious face. His heart tightened, and he got up to hold her in his arms, asking in a low voice, "What happened?"

"Yinzhou, Xiao Jin is in trouble! Take me there right away!" Shen Tang was so anxious she was almost crying.

Xue Yinzhou didn't ask any further questions. The two dressed quickly and hurried out of the city.

……

On the other side, atop a certain Century Building.

Yun Han sat languidly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

He had a view of the prosperity of half the imperial city, but he had no interest in looking at anything else.

A cigarette was held between his long, slender fingers, the smoke blurring his chiseled, cold, and perfect face, yet somehow making him appear somewhat irritable.

For some reason, I keep thinking about Shen Tang, that female.

It's impossible for him to like her.

However, he was so curious about her changes that he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

Yun Han usually didn't care about anything related to Shen Tang, and could even be said to avoid it altogether. But this time, he flicked his cigarette ash and turned to look at the beastman serving him. "What exactly happened while I was away?"

His voice was deep and languid, with a hint of smokiness.

"...Tell me about Shen Tang."

The waiter looked surprised and dared not ask any more questions. He told Yun Han everything that had happened in the past few months, especially the part about Shen Tang.

A hint of surprise flickered in Yun Han's deep, narrow black eyes. What he had learned from Lin Yu and the others was far too superficial.

Only after hearing this did he realize how much had happened to her.

She also led a nearly bankrupt research institute to develop a new drug.

Not long ago, the first batch of the drug was officially launched on the market, causing a huge sensation.

The price of the drug is far lower than those exorbitantly priced inhibitors on the market.

There's hardly any profit to be made; you only earn a meager living through hard work.

This move angered many pharmaceutical companies, who secretly suppressed and smeared her, and even sent assassins to try to kill her. She escaped danger several times. Not only did she not bow down to those forces, but she also secretly eliminated many of them. This move further inspired more people to protect and support Shen Tang!

That greedy, useless female actually did so many things?

Would she really be so kind?
Yun Han's expression was complex and incredulous.

The cigarette slowly burned out from between his fingers, a wisp of ash burning on the cold, white back of his hand, as if he hadn't noticed.
