A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 382 Going to Another Country

Shen Tang was taken aback, feeling an inexplicable familiarity with the name.

She recalled that on the day of the volcano, the assassins who suddenly appeared seemed to have mentioned this name; they called Shen Li "Your Highness Jiuli".

Shen Li was an orphan adopted by the royal family, so this name was naturally not real.

It seems that's his real name.

But the situation was too urgent at the time, and Shen Tang didn't hear very clearly. To be honest, she wasn't sure if she had misheard.

Do these things have anything to do with Shen Li?
Even though Shen Li has been gone for so long, and perhaps because his body has never been found, Shen Tang still doesn't want to believe he is dead.

These two words stirred a ripple in her heart.

Today's assassination attempt was not unfounded. The Yiyuan Empire is powerful, and if someone there really wanted to kill her, there would probably be no way to stop them.

She had to find out the reason.

Shen Tang discussed with the beastmen, "I need to go to the Yiyuan Empire."

The beastmen strongly disagreed with this statement.

Jialan said worriedly, "The Night Glow Empire and the Yi Yuan Empire have not been on good terms for many years. As the ruler of the Night Glow Empire, going there would be like a lamb being led to the slaughter. No, this is too dangerous and too reckless. I don't agree!"

Xiao Jin flicked her forehead with his finger and rarely agreed, "Tangtang, what are you thinking with that little head of yours? If the beastmen over there find out you went there, they'll be the first to detain you. If you really want to find out the truth, why don't you send us over?"

Xue Yinzhou's deep gaze fell on her. He was not a talkative person, but he made it clear that he did not agree.

“The two countries haven’t gone to war yet, at least not openly, so they’re not enemies.” Shen Tang sighed, his eyes darkening. “Besides, I feel there’s something strange about this. I have no grudge against the Yiyuan Empire, so the emperor shouldn’t need to send assassins to kill me. Could there be some other hidden story? I need to find out about this myself.”

Seeing her like this, Xiao Jin, Jia Lan, and Xue Yinzhou knew that she had already made up her mind.

She's very stubborn; any further persuasion will probably be useless.

Xiao Jin stroked his chin and offered a suggestion, "As the saying goes, when two countries are at war, envoys are not to be killed. Now that the Emperor of the Yiyuan Empire has just consolidated power, why don't we send an envoy in the name of the state to congratulate him? You can just find any identity to go with him."

"No, relations between the two countries are tense. If it weren't for the Forgotten Sea blocking our way, the Yiyuan Empire would have already wanted to annihilate you. Sending an envoy would only make us easy targets. If they have bad intentions, we would be fish on someone else's chopping block on their territory."

Jialan shook her head, quickly denying it.

Xiao Jin frowned and said, "Then tell me, what should we do?"

Jialan thought for a moment, then raised her clear and beautiful peach blossom eyes and said seriously, "I know a big boss who has been traveling around to other countries for many years and has businesses in many places, including other neighboring countries."

“In a couple of days, he will be leading a caravan to the Yiyuan Empire. I can discuss this with him.”

Shen Tang understood. "You mean you want me to infiltrate the caravan and go with them to the Yiyuan Empire?"

Jialan nodded. "That's right. Your identity is too special. With tensions between the two countries, a caravan is the safest option."

“That boss has been traveling all over the country for many years, and his caravans are very experienced. They also have skilled guards protecting them on the road. Although they can’t compare to a regular army, there shouldn’t be any accidents on the road. If you think it’s safe, I’ll go and discuss it with the boss.”

After careful consideration, Shen Tang felt that this method was excellent and flawless.

Jialan is quite reliable in handling matters.

The next morning, he brought good news: everything had been arranged with the boss.

We can set off early the day after tomorrow. Shen Tang will disguise himself, use a fake identity, and board the spaceship with the caravan.

To ensure her safety, she also needed to have a trusted orc by her side for protection, in case any other accidents occurred along the way.

This departure will take many days to return, and the beastmen are filled with longing and all want to go with them.

But with so many people around and no one watching the capital, Shen Tang was worried. In the end, Shen Tang decided to take only Xue Yinzhou with her.

Xueyinzhou is the strongest among them. The journey will take them through the Forgotten Sea, a place inhabited by many powerful polluted species. Even if the caravan avoids the waterways by using a spaceship, there are still many mutated birds and beasts there. Xueyinzhou's special ability is effective against the polluted species, so taking him there is the safest option.

Even though Jialan and Xiao Jin were unwilling, they had no choice but to agree.

After all, strength is a man's asset, and in this respect, they simply can't compete!
……

The day after tomorrow, early in the morning, before dawn, Shen Tang and Xue Yinzhou packed their things and set off.

Jialan had already made arrangements with the boss beforehand.

The boss dared not be negligent in the slightest, arranging the best room in the spaceship for the two of them, and even sending someone to clean it, arrange flowers, and spray expensive perfume.

Originally, this room was for the boss to sleep in. However, the spaceship's carrying capacity was too small, so in order to carry more cargo, ordinary employees had to squeeze in and sleep on the floor.

The room wasn't big, just a bed, a table, and a small, simple bathroom, enough to get by on the road.

The journey was bumpy from time to time, and Shen Tang, lying on the bed, soon began to feel sleepy.

Xue Yinzhou sat down on the edge of the bed, letting her head rest on his lap, his long, jade-like fingers brushing through her slightly messy hair.

It was as if even the smallest gesture was a silent pleasure for him.

His long, slender, cool fingers occasionally brushed against her face and pinched her ear, which tickled and felt very comfortable.

"We still have a long way to go on the road. Aren't you going to bed with me? Are you just going to sit here and watch me?" Shen Tang looked at the man's cool and handsome face, feeling a tickle in her heart. She reached out and hooked his collar, pulled it down, and kissed his slightly cool lips.

Xue Yinzhou said helplessly, "Do you think this bed can fit two people?"

Shen Tang turned her head and looked at it; it was indeed a little small.

This was originally the boss's own room, big enough for an adult beastman to sleep in. She was lying on the bed and there was still some room left, but Xue Yinzhou was so tall that he couldn't fit in.

We can't expect him to sleep on the floor for the next few days.

The next second, a flash of white light appeared, and Shen Tang transformed into her true form. She rolled over on his lap, wagged her tail, and said, "Now there's room, right? Come and sleep, I want you to hold me!"

Xue Yinzhou looked at the kitten rolling around affectionately in his arms, held his breath, pinched her pointed ears with his fingers, and then rubbed her furry belly.

Her cool purple eyes rarely softened with a gentle smile. "Okay, I'll hold you while we sleep."

He picked Shen Tang up and kissed her fluffy little face.

Shen Tang stared at the magnified, aloof, and handsome face before her, a stunningly beautiful sight right up close. His long, thick, silvery-white eyelashes were clearly defined, and his delicate, pale skin had almost no visible pores... It was clearer and more breathtaking than usual!
Her face flushed slightly from the kiss, but thankfully it wasn't noticeable.

Xue Yinzhou took off his coat, held her, and lay down on the bed.

Shen Tang was originally lying in his arms, but when she was about to fall asleep, somehow she ended up lying on his chest.

This snake-beast's body temperature was simply too low! Only its chest was a little warm.

Afraid of disturbing Shen Tang's sleep, Xue Yinzhou remained in one position and didn't dare to move.

Bang!
The spaceship lurched as it was attacked by a large flock of mutated birds and beasts.

Xue Yinzhou coldly gazed at the vast, dark expanse outside the window, a chilling killing intent flashing in his eyes. An invisible black mist emanated from his body, transforming into countless venomous snakes that darted out.

The spacecraft quickly stabilized.

He looked down at the kitten sleeping soundly in his arms, closed his eyes, transformed into his true form, and slowly coiled her around him...
