A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 299 Black and White Cat Jade Carving

A chill ran down Shen Tang's spine; this was too strange!

【never mind. 】

Anyway, as long as they don't mate during their heat cycle, they probably won't get pregnant.

Shen Tang quickly put the matter out of his mind and let the beastmen go about their own business.

Lu Xiao returned to the military headquarters to continue making arrangements.

All factions are watching the coronation ceremony a month from now, and absolutely no mistakes can be made. They must be on high alert to ensure her safety.

Xiao Jin and Xue Yinzhou also went out hunting.

After Shen Tang turned around and returned to the living room, she saw Shen Li lying on the sofa, engrossed in a book, seemingly unaware of the noise outside. She wondered if he was too absorbed in his reading or simply hadn't heard anything.

His long, cascading red hair cascaded down his back. He rested one hand on his forehead, his long eyelashes drooping slightly. His movements were languid and casual. He wore only a white shirt with the collar slightly open, revealing his collarbone and a small patch of chest. His skin was as white as jade, dazzling in the sunlight.

The man had long, captivating eyes, a straight nose, and thin, rosy lips that beckoned one to kiss him. His demeanor was both noble and alluring, radiating an indescribable charm.

Shen Tang felt as if a feather was tickling her heart, making her unbearably itchy.

On a whim, she walked over and sat in his lap.

Shen Li snorted softly, put down the book in his hand, and loosely put one arm around her slender waist. His beautiful and deep fox-like eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at her with a half-smile, his voice alluring at the end, "Xiao Tang, have you finished discussing things?"

"I saw you were so engrossed in your book that I thought you hadn't heard me." Shen Tang wrapped her arms around his neck, brought her nose close to his neck, and took a deep, satisfying inhale of his alluring fragrance. She sighed, "Don't you have anything to say?"

“With Shen Qingli’s temperament, she is unlikely to achieve great things. Although the Yun family values ​​this child, they are not treacherous officials who cannot distinguish right from wrong. Moreover, you have done them a favor. Wolf beasts have always valued loyalty and righteousness. At least for now, they can’t cause any trouble. Don’t worry too much.” Shen Li gently rubbed her waist to relax her.

Shen Tang felt incredibly comfortable and couldn't help but want to collapse into his arms, even wanting to rub against him and snore!

After realizing what was happening, her face flushed slightly, and she quickly suppressed the impulse.

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the book Shen Li was almost finished reading and asked curiously, "What's this book about? I've seen you looking at it for ages, is it that interesting?"

The cover was yellowed and looked very worn; I wonder where he got it from.

Shen Li laughed and said, "It's just some random reading material I found in my spare time, something to pass the time when I'm bored."

"You really do enjoy reading."

"There is a wealth of knowledge in books; they can quickly help me understand what I want to know."

Shen Tang turned over to find a more comfortable position, her back pressed against his warm and firm chest. She grabbed his arm and leaned closer, glancing at the contents of the book.

She then discovered that a large portion of the text in the book was beyond her comprehension.

Wars broke out frequently between the major empires, and countries or regions often perished, while writing systems also continued to evolve.

She inherited the original owner's memories and knew the script of the Night Glow Empire, but the script in this book was a distorted ancient script.

This book is at least a hundred years old.

"Ruins...core...the struggle..."

She could barely recognize a few broken characters, and her head was spinning. "What does this mean?"

Shen Li felt the warm, soft body nestled in his arms, and his heart trembled slightly. He lowered his head and gently inhaled the fragrance of her hair, and couldn't help but kiss her hair and snow-white earlobe. His voice was lazy and pleasant, "This ancient book says that within the territory of every empire, there is a mysterious ancient ruin."

"Ancient ruins?"

"Yes, but these are all legends. No one has ever actually seen them; they are just made-up stories."

Shen Lihe put down the book and tossed it onto the sofa. "Some boring stuff, let's not talk about it anymore."

He wrapped his arms around her waist, pressing her against his chest, pecking at the back of her neck, his breath lingering like flames, his voice low and seductive, "When will you deliver the reward you promised, Little Tang'er?"

His long, jade-like fingers kneaded Shen Tang's waist, making her weak and causing her to nestle in his arms, her cheeks flushed with desire.

He even deliberately circled around, captivating the heart and soul!

Unable to contain her emotions, Shen Tang turned and pressed her face against his chest, leaning forward to kiss his lips. The man's breathing immediately became erratic.

From an angle unseen by Shen Tang, his enchanting fox-like eyes narrowed suddenly, a golden glint flashing across his pupils, but it vanished in an instant and returned to normal.

He chuckled softly, "The reward I want is not just this."

"Take whatever you want yourself~" Shen Tang's eyebrows and eyes revealed a hint of charm, her snow-white cheeks were as red as if they were rouged, and every frown and smile was like a cat's claw scratching at the heart!

Shen Li's Adam's apple bobbed violently as his large hand landed on her waist, about to tentatively untie it.

"Your Highness Shen Tang, are you there?"

Suddenly, an orc's voice came from outside the door announcing something.

It instantly shattered the idyllic atmosphere in the living room.

Shen Li's face darkened, revealing his anger.

The desire on Shen Tang's face quickly faded. She lowered her head and pecked him on the lips, then rolled off him. "I'll come see you again tonight."

She winked at him, and before walking away, she deliberately hooked his belt—it was simply... irresistible!
He ended up leaving himself at home to process it.

Shen Li took a deep breath, suppressing the slight heat in her body. Her narrow eyes were tinged with a faint red, making her look captivating and alluring.

He turned his gaze away from the doorway, chuckled, shook his head, picked up the book from the sofa, finished reading the last few pages, and then walked to the window.

A wisp of foxfire ignited at his fingertips, setting the book in his hand ablaze, the remaining ashes dissipating in the wind.

……

Kongdu City has been bustling with activity lately.

After the old imperial city was destroyed by the rebels, Kongdu City was established as the new imperial capital and ushered in a period of large-scale development.

A large influx of people, labor, and property poured into Kongdu City.

In addition, the coronation ceremony of the new emperor was scheduled for a month later, attracting many orcs who came from afar.

The roads were bustling with people and traffic.

Major shopping malls were packed with people, making a fortune.

Many idle orcs set up stalls by the roadside, selling things and earning a little extra.

In the city, at the largest market.

A young man in a cloak walked through the street. He was tall and slender, and his face was hidden by a mask. His clothes were somewhat peculiar, but with so many people passing by, no one would pay any special attention to him.

A strand of brown hair peeked out from under the hood.

He came to a stall selling jade carvings.

In an inconspicuous corner of the stall, there is a small jade carving in the shape of a cat.

I don't know what kind of stone it is, but the black and white colors are so lifelike that it's quite a peculiar and interesting piece.

The young man bent down, picked up the stone carving, examined it in his hands, and asked the stall owner, "How much is this?"

"Oh, we're closing up shop tonight, so I'll give you a discount, five hundred star coins."

The young man didn't haggle; after paying, he took the items and turned to leave.

The pedestrians nearby whispered among themselves.

"You heard it! Princess Qingli and the young master of the Yun family are going to hold their wedding ceremony in half a month!"

"Why are you so anxious?"

"I have a relative who works for the Yun family. I heard from a rumor that Princess Shen Qingli is pregnant!"
