A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 247 Self-deception
After saying this, Shen Tang didn't care what Yun Han thought anymore and turned to leave.

Yun Han's eyes surged with intense emotions. His hands, hanging at his sides, clenched tightly as he stared at her blankly, as if staring at some empty space.

It wasn't that he couldn't understand human speech; it was just that he didn't want to delve into it or believe it... Seeing Shen Tang turn and leave decisively, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he subconsciously strode forward, trying to grab her.

Shen Tang had no desire to have any contact with him.

Before Yun Han could even touch her hand, Shen Tang shoved her away forcefully.

She turned to look at him, her dark eyes gleaming with a chilling light that sent shivers down one's spine. Her pale, chapped lips uttered a calm voice, "Young Master Yun Han, don't forget your place. You are now a married man. It's inappropriate for you to be touching other women like that, isn't it?"

As she spoke, a hint of mockery crept into her slightly hoarse voice carried by the wind.
"Aren't you afraid that your sister will find out about this when she gets back?"

Xue Yinzhou quickly stepped forward to protect Shen Tang, standing like an iron wall between the two, blocking Yun Han, whose expression was complicated, and preventing him from taking another step forward.

Xue Yinzhou's silver-purple snake eyes were icy cold, and his thin lips slowly uttered, "Take one more step closer, and I'll kill you."

He exuded a chilling murderous aura; he truly believed it and was ready to act on it at any moment.

Yun Han's expression darkened further, but he was speechless.

Shen Tang's words pierced his heart like a thousand needles. She was right; he had absolutely no right to get close to her.

Yun Han stood frozen in place, head bowed, looking utterly lost and dejected.

As Xue Yinzhou escorted Shen Tang away, he turned around and glanced indifferently at the pitiful male, his heart filled with mockery and amusement.

He had witnessed the entire scene of Shen Qingli and Zackis's illicit affair in the secret room. He didn't know what kind of spell that female had cast on Yun Han, that he genuinely believed she was an innocent woman. Even though she had made it so clear, he still refused to believe her.

Ah.

Some people are happy to deceive themselves, so they deserve to be kept in the dark, and it would be best if they never woke up.

Anyway, it couldn't be better for him.

Xue Yinzhou was not one to meddle in other people's business, so he withdrew his gaze and turned to leave.

Shen Tang continued his work in helping the people.

He led the suffering refugees in the city to escape the imperial city through underground passages.

When Yun Han followed, he stopped in his tracks, unable to look away as he watched the female figures busily working amidst the flames of war and ruins.

His throat was dry, and he clutched his chest in despair, the dull ache growing stronger with each passing moment.

But, why?
The woman he married was Shen Qingli, and the woman he consummated his marriage with was also Shen Qingli. The woman he truly loved was her.

But his gaze was uncontrollably drawn to another female.

She was beautiful and brave, strong yet gentle, exuding endless charm in every gesture, which irresistibly attracted him.

Throughout his journey, he kept thinking about Shen Tang, not the missing Shen Qingli.

Realizing this, Yun Han's expression grew even more strange and ugly. He clenched his fists and pounded his head desperately, trying to stop this absurd thought that shouldn't exist.

No, he loves Qingli, and will only ever love Qingli in this life!
Qingli is so gentle, kind, beautiful, and intelligent; she is the one he should always follow and love!
Shen Tang and Qing Li have never gotten along. She has always been jealous that Qing Li married him. Her words just now were definitely meant to deliberately sow discord between the two.

Yes, that’s definitely the case!
He must have lost his mind to let the words of a mere outsider shake his faith in Qingli's loyalty and love for him.

Thinking of this, Yun Han's previously conflicted and pained gaze gradually cleared, and his gaze towards Shen Tang in the distance was tinged with doubt and coldness. Recalling Shen Tang's insults at the banquet last time, he became even more certain that her words today were deliberately meant to cause him pain, and anger welled up inside him.

Shen Tang has indeed changed a lot, and he truly admires her. However, her petty and despicable behavior is still the same as before, making her unpleasant to behold!

Qingli is more innocent, kind, and lovable.

Thinking this way, the strange emotion in Yun Han's heart disappeared, and he believed that his choice back then was correct, and that Shen Qingli deserved his sincerity and love even more.

If Shen Tang knew what this jerk was thinking, she would roll her eyes in utter speechlessness and feel so regretful she'd vomit blood!

She's really being ungrateful; she must be out of her mind to remind him like that!
That female lead is quite cunning. Even after she's put it this way, Yun Han still firmly believes in her innocent persona. He won't believe her unless the facts are presented to him.

Fine, if someone is willing to remain unconscious, then she's too lazy to save them anymore.

After hesitating for a moment, Yun Han also went to help. After killing the rebels, he helped the suffering people with their families pack their belongings.

Some civilians suffered injuries from the bombing and were unable to move forward. Yun Han led the team in beast form and led the disabled civilians to the entrance of the underground passage.

Everything is proceeding smoothly and in an orderly manner.

Suddenly, a huge change came from the palace, and Yun Han and his group were urgently summoned back to the palace to protect the emperor!

Shen Tang saw from the system map that an elite rebel army was attacking the palace, and the troops stationed outside the palace were about to be overwhelmed.

She quickly led her people to follow Yun Han to the palace.

When they arrived, a fierce battle was raging outside the palace, with a large number of dead and wounded. From a distance, the sandbags piled up at the palace gate were actually human walls made of the corpses of soldiers and civilians, forming the strongest yet weakest barrier to temporarily hold back the rebel invasion.

Shen Tang's aura was extremely cold!

After dealing with the rebels, she and Xue Yinzhou quickly went to the palace to check on the situation.

On the way, they bumped into Lin Yu and his group, who were disguised as the emperor and empress, along with several attendants and servants.

Shen Tang learned from the system map that the old emperor returned to the palace to take away all the valuables in the palace—his imperial seal, treasured items, the safe locked in the dark room, and all the valuable treasures in the national treasury. He looted them all and put them into his spatial storage.

The old emperor reigned for decades, plundering the people's wealth and possessing unimaginable riches—all the fruits of his life's labor.

He had five or six personal computers on his two wrists, but they couldn't hold all his wealth.

He had his servants pack all the gold and silver treasures that couldn't fit in the bag into tattered sacks, covering them completely, and then secretly carried them away on their shoulders.

Upon seeing this scene, Shen Tang felt a sense of mockery and wanted to laugh.

At a time when the nation was facing a formidable enemy and its very survival was at stake, the old emperor did not think of personally leading the army to boost morale and lead the people to resist the foreign invaders. Instead, he cowardly fled and hid, ordering soldiers and civilians to go outside the palace to resist the enemy. He hid behind the human wall they had built with their lives, delaying the inevitable and taking away the wealth that would allow him to continue to enjoy wealth and honor for the rest of his life!
this moment.

Shen Tang realized this deeply.

With such a muddle-headed and incompetent old emperor, this country is doomed.

　I'm working on the outline today, no extra updates.

　　There will be one more update later, so I'll go to sleep now and read it again tomorrow.
