A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 274 Sleeping in Each Other's Arms (Bonus Chapter for Donations)
The system then spoke again, [By the way, host, I must remind you one more thing: the Resurrection Pill is a particularly important item, and each person can only use it once in their lifetime. Please use it with caution.]

Shen Tang almost laughed in anger. Xiao Jin was dead beyond dead, what was the point of saying these things now? If she didn't save him now, there would be no future.

"You don't need to persuade me anymore, my mind is made up."

[Okay, host. Xiao Jin's remains should be nearby. You can scan them using the system map. Please hurry.]

Suppressing her grief, Shen Tang quickly scanned the map using the system. Finally, she found Xiao Jin's severed limbs.

—Thrown on the ground, in trash cans, or in corners like garbage.

There was even an arm lying carelessly on the street, trampled beyond recognition, bloody and mangled, so much so that it was unrecognizable as a human arm.

Shen Tang was in so much pain that she could hardly breathe. She wished she could resurrect those demons and tear them to pieces again, but that wouldn't be enough to quell the hatred in her heart!

After Shen Tang retrieved the discarded limbs, she carried the body to a deserted wilderness... Xiao Jin, that bastard, was strong and incredibly heavy, but at this moment he was incredibly light, and she could carry him this far.

Shen Tang laid the body down on the ground and then pieced together the missing limbs bit by bit.

Finally, she took out the Resurrection Pill from her spatial storage and attempted to feed it to him.

How can a dead person open their mouth?

Shen Tang had no way of putting the pill into his mouth. She was both angry and annoyed, tears streaming down her face. "You damned leopard, open your mouth!"

"I...I command you to open your mouth. I am your mistress, and you must obey me."

"If you don't behave, I'll make you a gatekeeper from now on. I'm going to find Shen Li, and I'll never let you carry me again..."

Her voice was already choked with emotion, and she could no longer speak.

Normally, this stinky leopard would have bristled and jumped up in anger upon hearing these words, subtly and overtly belittling Shen Li, saying that this stinky fox was no better than him, both domineering and childish. But now he just lay quietly on the ground, neither refuting nor getting angry.

He's so quiet, it's not like him at all.

Shen Tang had no other choice but to put the Resurrection Pill into his mouth, where it liquefied into a ball of water.

She cupped the man's bloodied and mangled face and fed him the elixir.

She, who so dislikes dirty people and is afraid of ghosts, felt no fear or disgust, only tension and confusion...

The moment the elixir entered his body, the Soul-Destroying Needle that had pierced Xiao Jin's corpse turned into a wisp of black mist and dissipated.

His mangled body is rapidly recovering.

Countless granulation tissues sprouted from between the severed limbs, intertwining and slowly reconnecting and reforming...

The whole process was quiet. Shen Tang's tear stains had not yet faded. She stared blankly at her gradually recovering body, too nervous to make a sound. All she could hear was the howling of the wind and snow.

Shen Tang stayed by Xiao Jin's side the whole time, wanting to see him come back to life before she could feel at ease.

Unfortunately, time passed too slowly.

As the sun began to set, she gradually couldn't hold on any longer, so she leaned against Xiao Jin and closed her eyes.

For some reason, Shen Tang's mind suddenly became dizzy and her consciousness gradually became unclear.

She shook her head, trying to clear her mind.

Now that they've left the rebel-controlled area, these vengeful guys could hunt them down at any moment.

If she falls asleep and gets caught, she'll be dead for sure!

However, her body was out of control. Shen Tang felt as if she had been given a general anesthetic, and her vision suddenly went black, her consciousness fading into chaos.

The man and woman nestled together, motionless, as if in eternal sleep.

The wind and snow grew heavier and heavier, and after an unknown amount of time, the frost and snow buried the two of them.

suddenly--

Thump,

Boom!

Something vibrant within my chest began to beat again.

……

Xiao Jin seemed to be having a very distant nightmare. He was dead.

He was killed by the rebels.

His words ultimately became unfinished last words; he could not take her with him when he left.

Xiao Jin felt guilty before he died. If he could have fully awakened his second superpower, he could have taken Shen Tang away from here.

Unfortunately, his strength was ultimately insufficient, and he failed to escape with her.

Having lived so many years without fear of death, Xiao Jin felt fear for the first time, afraid of what kind of torture the two of them would suffer if they fell into the hands of the rebels.

He wasn't worried about himself; after all, he was just a worthless life, not worth much money.

But Shen Tang, as an imperial princess, and such a beautiful and noble young woman, falling into the hands of those bastards, was too painful for him to bear.

He was so unwilling.

He was so incompetent; he didn't even manage to run away with her.

The surroundings were dark and there was nothing there. Xiao Jin lingered in the same spot for a long time, thinking that this must be the hell after death.

In a daze.

A light appeared not far ahead.

Like a sharp blade piercing through the darkness, it became the only color in his eyes.

Slowly illuminating a wide road.

At the end of the road, a familiar and beautiful figure reached out her hand to him, as if waiting for him.

So beautiful, so dazzling.

So let him cherish... the taste of being alive.

Xiao Jin chased after him without regard for anything else.

When Xiao Jin opened his eyes again, he found himself lying in the snow and ice, with snowflakes falling all around him, almost burying him completely.

He stared blankly at the pale gray sky above, momentarily wondering if he had truly returned from the brink of death, or if it was just a simple nightmare.

As his frozen body slowly regained sensation, he felt the weight on his chest, looked down, and caught a glimpse of that furry head.

Shen Tang closed her eyes and lay quietly against his chest, seemingly asleep.

She held him tightly with both hands, her eyes full of affection.

Her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had been crying.

Xiao Jin had no idea what had happened. When he saw the two of them come out alive, he wondered what had happened while he was unconscious.
He was clearly dead, so why is he alive again?

Also, who brought them out?
Could it be Tangtang? But how did she lead him out of the encirclement?
All doubts paled in comparison to the joy of rebirth. Seeing that the two were almost buried in snow, Xiao Jin quickly swept away the snowflakes, held the female tightly in his arms, excitedly kissed her face, and happily called out, "Tangtang, wake up quickly, let's go back right away—"

His voice suddenly stopped.

He kissed her cheek and suddenly realized that her body was terribly cold, even stiff.

Xiao Jin suddenly stopped moving, his mind going blank.

He couldn't bear to think about that guess, and tears welled up in his eyes. He gently stroked her face, calling out anxiously again and again, "Tangtang..."

"Tangtang..."

"Wake up! We've escaped. I'll take you back."

No matter how he called out, the person in his arms did not wake up again. Her face was pale and beautiful, and her long black hair and curled eyelashes were covered with silvery snowflakes, almost blending into the snow.

Xiao Jin stared at her blankly, his eyes red and his breath almost stopping.

Finally, he raised his trembling fingers and placed them under her nose.

He stopped breathing.
