A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 328 I can be even worse, do you want to try?
Shen Tang's eyes lit up. She almost forgot that Xiao Jin had awakened the teleportation ability. He arrived in Green Field City in the blink of an eye. Now he had advanced to the ninth level, was powerful, and had a war-related buff.

Sending Xiao Jin to quell the war is the most appropriate thing to do!
Shen Tang turned to look at Shi Ye and the others, nodded and said in a deep voice, "Alright, then it's decided. I will immediately order Xiao Jin to lead the troops back to the city with you to provide support. We must quell the riot and ensure the smooth completion of the city wall!"

As she spoke, she turned to look at Xiao Jin, "Would 10,000 men be enough for you?"

"I can handle this small matter all by myself!"

Xiao Jin wasn't just boasting in front of the females. Back in the day, he was able to single-handedly storm into the enemy camp of the rebels and behead their commander.

It's more than enough to deal with rebellions in border cities.

Shen Tang was both amused and exasperated. "Don't be reckless. You can't fight against a thousand hands with two fists. Even a tiger fears an ant. If you go alone to face a thousand troops, you will be caught off guard. They may fail countless times, but if you fall into their trap even once, you're finished."

This stinky leopard is all muscle and no brains. His opponent may not be as strong as him, but if they use their brains a little, they might just fall into his trap.

Shen Tang was not comfortable letting the silly leopard go alone.

"Give me five thousand elite troops, that will be enough." Perhaps recalling what happened last time, Xiao Jin was still shaken and suddenly felt much more at ease.

However, this scoundrel's tone was still incredibly arrogant and domineering, making him absolutely irritating. "I hereby pledge that within five days, I will quell the rebellion! I will help you subdue those rebels! Otherwise... I'll go out and guard the gate!"

Before Shen Tang could scold him, Xiao Jin rushed forward, wrapped his arms around her waist, and kissed her!
Shen Tang's eyes widened suddenly, and Shi Ye and the others next to her quickly lowered their heads, pretending not to see anything!

Shen Tang's pretty face flushed slightly. With so many people watching, that stinky leopard is really bold!
She raised her hand, intending to punch him to vent her anger. But before she knew it, Xiao Jin, having successfully stolen a kiss, expertly turned and ran, disappearing in an instant.

Shen Tang couldn't help but laugh; she really had no way to deal with him.

After half an hour.

Shen Tang stood on the city wall, looking down at the army that was fully prepared for battle.

Five thousand elite troops marched in a mighty and imposing manner.

Xiao Jin stood at the forefront of the army.

After Shen Tang was officially crowned as the monarch, he restored Xiao Jin's military rank.

This was the first time she had ever seen Xiao Jin properly dressed in military uniform.

Xiao Jin and Lu Xiao were both from military backgrounds, but the feeling she got from them was completely different.

Xiao Jin's face and physique were impeccable. The military uniform looked incredibly charming on him, but he also exuded a carefree and arrogant aura, unlike someone from a regular army.

If Lu Xiao were an unsheathed blade, simply having it there would be enough to awe and instill fear in people.

Xiao Jin was like a long sword without a sheath, a loaded pistol ready to fire at any moment, as if he was born to stand on the battlefield, fight bloody battles, and be accompanied by life and death.

This dog of a man is quite docile and quiet at home, but you can tell that as soon as he hears that he's going out to fight, he becomes arrogant and excited!

Shen Tang watched as Xiao Jin led his troops away, disappearing behind the horizon.

She turned and went back into the courtyard.

They were escorted by servants throughout the journey.

The beastmen had mixed feelings when they saw that His Majesty was still living in such a remote and old courtyard after his ascension to the throne. The courtyard was very clean and cozy, but it was really out of place with the king's style. If this got out, what would foreign countries think?

Someone suggested, "Your Highness, now that you've ascended the throne, shouldn't you consider rebuilding the palace?"

The newly enthroned emperor would normally use the palace inherited from previous dynasties, and if renovations were needed, they could be planned in advance.

However, the coronation ceremony was too rushed, and the successor was also hastily selected. Everything was done in a hurry, but fortunately the result was amazing and perfect, more sensational than any coronation ceremony in history!
Unfortunately, the old imperial city was destroyed, and the palace needed to be rebuilt, which would consume a great deal of time, manpower, and money, making it a huge project!

However, this is still a matter of face that the emperor should have. Otherwise, it would be too outrageous not to even have a place to receive envoys! "There's no need to rush this matter. We can discuss it later." Shen Tang sighed. "Right now, the empire is in the midst of war, and resources in various places are very scarce. Rebuilding the palace now is not a wise move. We should send as many resources as possible to aid the disaster-stricken areas and resettle the displaced people and refugees."

The beastmen were deeply moved upon hearing this; it was the first time they had ever encountered such a wise and virtuous ruler!

[Ding! Congratulations, host! The morale of the imperial city has increased by 10!]

The matter was temporarily put aside, but Shen Tang was more worried that the riots in Qingchuan City were not accidental, but inevitable.

If the current situation does not change, more cities will experience riots.

Throughout history, military force has always been the most effective way to suppress riots!
The imperial city must possess a strong military; otherwise, it will inevitably be overthrown by other local regimes sooner or later.

Shen Tang then arranged for a group of workers to build a basic military factory, which could produce high-end weapons and quickly increase troop strength!

Building an arsenal requires a lot of resources, but fortunately Shen Tang has a resource package to ensure the project is completed smoothly.

Since ascending the throne, Emperor Shen Tang has barely enjoyed her life of luxury. She has been busy with various matters every day, and she looks quite haggard. Lu Xiao and the others felt extremely sorry for her, but they knew there was no other way. This was something she had to do on her path to becoming emperor.

As a beast husband, Lu Xiao could only be more gentle and considerate, helping her manage the affairs of the court and the household.

In the evening, as usual, Lu Xiao drove to the entrance of the household registration department to pick up Shen Tang, who had just finished her meeting, and take her home.

Shen Tang looked like a donkey that had just finished pulling a millstone, slumped in the passenger seat, too tired to even move a finger.

A short while later, she tilted her head and leaned it against the man's broad, straight shoulder.

Lu Xiao turned his head and saw that she had closed her eyes and fallen asleep from exhaustion. "..."

The vehicle slowed down.

What should have been a ten-minute journey took more than half an hour.

When Lu Xiao arrived at his doorstep, he parked the car, his shoulders aching.

He turned his face, his thin lips brushing against the woman's hair, as if bestowing a gentle, breeze-like kiss.

A deep, magnetic voice sounded in my ear, "Mistress, we're home."

Shen Tang woke up from her sleep and found herself leaning on Lu Xiao's shoulder, not knowing how long she had been leaning on him.

Just as Shen Tang was about to get up, Lu Xiao reached out and placed his hand on her waist. In a flash, she was sitting on his long, strong lap. His deep, rich aura enveloped her, making her feel incredibly safe.

Lu Xiao lowered his head and kissed Shen Tang's forehead, saying gently, "Do you want to rest for a while? I'll give you a massage to relax your body."

"..." The ambiguous atmosphere in the car, the intertwined breaths of the two people, suddenly made Shen Tang think of some indescribable massage method. There were pedestrians passing by not far away. "This is not very appropriate!"

Lu Xiao noticed that the female's pretty face was slightly flushed, and knew that she was thinking about something. He chuckled and said, "You naughty woman."

Shen Tang rarely saw him with a teasing expression, and suddenly a mischievous thought popped into her head. Her back and legs no longer ached. She wrapped her arms around his neck, leaned closer, and breathed, "Hmm~ I can be even more mischievous, do you want to try?"

Lu Xiao gently massaged her waist, a half-smile on his face, "May I ask, my lady, when the Ministry of Revenue questions me tomorrow about why His Majesty didn't come, how should I answer?"

"..."

The king's dignity must not be lost!
In the end, Shen Tang didn't have the guts to do anything wrong and obediently let Lu Xiao massage her to relax.

Well! I have to say, Lu Xiao's perfect score in the course is truly impressive.

She was very satisfied with how well he took care of her in every way!
