A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 390 Snake and Fox Fight
"Shen Li, he's not dead..."

"He is Emperor Yiyuan, Ji Jiuli..."

"He lied to me, it was all a lie..."

"He also tricked me out of the Earth Source Core. I was so stupid and naive to believe him..."

Shen Tang threw herself into Xue Yinzhou's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

Listening to her intermittent sobs, Xue Yinzhou could guess seven or eight parts of the reason.

A cold killing intent flashed in his dark purple phoenix eyes. He pulled the female tightly into his arms, lowered his head to kiss her forehead, and whispered, "Let's go back first."

The female in his arms had cried until she was too weak to continue, and quietly nestled in his embrace.

Xue Yinzhou couldn't know what she was thinking; most likely, her mind was blank, and she didn't want to think about anything anymore.

But he knew she needed him.

Xue Yinzhou gently brushed her hair, picked her up steadily, and walked towards their residence.

On the way back, the system softly asked, "Host, would you like to drink the potion of forgetfulness?"

Shen Tang closed her eyes.

This time, she didn't refuse.

The moment she drank the potion of forgetfulness, a scalding tear slid down her cheek, and then, an inexplicable force ripped all her feelings for Shen Li from her heart.

Love and hate have vanished, leaving only tranquility.

After returning to her residence, Xue Yinzhou noticed that Shen Tang's emotions had stabilized, but fearing that she was just pretending to be calm, she asked, "Tangtang, are you alright?"

Shen Tang wiped away her tears and smiled, "I'm fine now."

Xue Yinzhou frowned and felt even more heartache when he saw her like this. "If you want to cry, you can cry out loud. There's nothing shameful about it."

When he was a child, he would hide in a corner and cry when he was sad or in pain. After crying, he would feel much more relaxed.

Shen Tang forced a calm smile. "I'm really fine now. I've come to terms with it along the way. It's a fact that he lied to me and stole the core. No matter how sad I am, it won't change anything." She shrugged. "You learn from your mistakes. Life isn't always smooth sailing."

Xue Yinzhou looked at her suspiciously, "...Have you really come to your senses?"

Shen Tang suddenly hooked her arms around his neck, pulled him down, and tilted her head back to kiss his slightly cool lips. "Hmm~ I still feel a little sad..." Her voice carried a hint of coquetry, "Do you want to comfort me?"

Xue Yinzhou's purple snake eyes suddenly contracted, the hand on her waist tightened involuntarily, and his breathing became heavy.

He understood that she needed a moment of indulgence to release her emotions.

In the latter half of the night, the two had a brief but passionate encounter.

After being comforted, Shen Tang fell into a deep sleep.

Xue Yinzhou looked at her beautiful but slightly haggard sleeping face, his slender fingers gently brushing across her slightly furrowed brows, his face full of tenderness and pity.

He then dressed, got up, and went outside.

The tenderness in his eyes vanished, replaced by a chilling murderous intent!
That damned fox... how dare it hurt her like that!

Xue Yinzhou waved his hand, and thick black mist instantly enveloped the entire room.

His figure gradually blended into the night and disappeared without a trace.

……

Meanwhile, outside the emperor's bedroom.

Qiu Yang was temporarily dispatched by Ji Jiuli to carry out a mission yesterday afternoon. On the way, he heard the news that His Majesty had been assassinated last night, and he immediately panicked. He rushed back to the palace in a hurry and paced anxiously outside the hall.

The strange female he encountered yesterday had been unsettling him. Although she was plain-looking, something about her felt off. What worried him even more was that his secret plot to assassinate the King of Nightbright was like a sword hanging over his head, ready to fall at any moment!

They thought the elite assassins they sent would be more than capable of dealing with a female, but they haven't received a reply yet, so they've probably failed.

Will that foreign female expose this?

Qiu Yang's eyes hardened; this hidden danger had to be eliminated as soon as possible!
Just as Qiu Yang made up his mind to take action himself, a suffocating pressure suddenly descended!

Before the guards in front of the palace could react, they were instantly overturned by a dark figure.

"Who dares to act so arrogantly here!" Qiu Yang's eyes widened in anger, and he roared. Eight dark red fox tails suddenly unfurled, and towering flames swept out.

But the raging fire was instantly swallowed up by the black mist, leaving not even a spark.

"How is this possible?!" Qiu Yang's expression changed drastically.

He's a tenth-tier orc, yet his full-force attack was so easily neutralized?!

Dark clouds surged in the night sky, obscuring the moon.

A tall, slender figure in silver-white appeared in the darkness. His vast, snow-white hair was like cascading moonlight, and the terrifying killing intent emanating from him caused the surrounding temperature to drop several degrees!
He arrived outside the palace silently, like a ghostly figure seeking to claim a life!
After several rounds, Xue Yinzhou knocked Qiu Yang to the ground with a heavy blow, and the guards outside the hall were no match for him.

He walked straight into the palace as if it were empty!

Inside the imperial bedchamber, the handsome, red-haired emperor was recuperating on his bed.

Wu Qing served attentively by her side, but the medicine in her hands shattered the moment she saw the intruder—

"Ah!" Her pretty face turned deathly pale, and she screamed, "Who...who are you?! Help! Help!"

Amidst the panicked cries, she then discovered that the guards outside the palace were already lying scattered on the ground, and she was so frightened that her legs went weak.

"You can go out first," Ji Jiuli said calmly. "I have some private matters to discuss with this... old friend."

Wu Qing bit her lip, glanced worriedly and fearfully at the murderous silver-haired man, then at the still seriously injured Emperor, but her fear of death prevailed, and she ran away as if fleeing.

She didn't dare to look at that terrifying figure even once!
Xue Yinzhou didn't stop him. After all, he had no grudge against him and wouldn't kill a female for no reason.

"Ahem." Shen Li coughed lightly, covering his mouth, and looked up at Xue Yinzhou, who was filled with murderous intent. His expression was calm. "Yinzhou, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

"Tonight, I've come to take your life." Xue Yinzhou sneered, and the black mist around him instantly transformed into countless sharp blades, whistling as they hurtled away!

Shen Li's gaze darkened, and nine fiery red fox tails suddenly appeared, closing together like flower petals to form a blazing barrier in front of him.

The next second, the fox tail suddenly bloomed, and the energy ripples it generated made the entire palace tremble!
"boom!"

The Snow-Hidden Boat's snake tail swept across, shattering all the furnishings in the hall, and slammed heavily onto the bed.

In the blink of an eye, the figure on the bed vanished, and crimson foxfire suddenly burst forth from the ground, instantly engulfing Xue Yinzhou!

The next second, black mist burst forth from the flames, and Xue Yinzhou's figure appeared like a ghost.

The white snake, with its menacing fangs, bit down on one of the fire fox's tails, sending a shower of fox fur flying like a bloody rain.

Shen Li winced in pain, his handsome face contorting slightly. He instantly transformed into his true form, his enormous fire fox body swelling dramatically, and the violent energy sent the white snake flying several meters away!

The burning claws sliced ​​across the snake's tail, leaving a trail of blood droplets, and flesh instantly flew off.

The Fiery Fox leaped onto the roof beam, but Snow Hidden Boat seemed oblivious to the pain, relentlessly pursuing it like a leech.

The two figures clashed fiercely inside the hall, causing walls to crumble and pillars to collapse in their wake!
Hundreds of rounds passed, and the entire palace was reduced to ruins, yet the two remained evenly matched!
However, Shen Li was still recovering from serious injuries and clearly could not hold on for long.

A large number of elite troops quickly gathered around, including many eighth and ninth-tier experts, who surrounded the two. If the fight continued, even Xue Yinzhou, a tenth-tier orc, wouldn't gain the upper hand!
Shen Li transformed back into human form, clutching his chest, his face pale. "Yin Zhou, your talent and strength are indeed formidable, but the Yi Yuan Imperial Palace is not a place for you to run wild. If you continue to act recklessly, don't blame me for turning ruthless!"

Xue Yinzhou sneered angrily, "You deceived Tangtang and even tried to kill her, you deserve to die!"

Shen Li was taken aback, then vehemently denied it, "Nonsense! I never intended to kill her!"
