A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 410 Blowing on it will make it stop hurting
As dawn approached.

Xiao Jin and Xue Yinzhou have finally returned.

Both men were wounded, clearly having been in a fierce battle, and had also taken care of a few assassins on their way back.

Xiao Jin shook his aching fist and gritted his teeth, saying, "Damn it, that cunning fox got away!"

Xue Yinzhou's face was even more gloomy. He couldn't quell his hatred for not being able to kill the fox with his own hands.

With a sweep of his thick, long snake tail, he threw the blood-soaked Qiu Yang into the room, then looked at Shen Tang on the bed and said, "You decide how to deal with him."

"It's all that old bastard's fault for showing up halfway!" Xiao Jin kicked Qiu Yang angrily, saying resentfully, "Otherwise, we would have taken down that dead fox long ago!"

Xue Yinzhou and Shen Li were both at the tenth level, with similar strength. With Xiao Jin also present, and on their own territory, taking down Shen Li would have been a sure thing. But then this old fox came and messed things up, causing them to suffer a crushing defeat. He deserves to die!
Shen Tang glanced at Qiu Yang, who was willing to die to protect his master, closed her eyes, and said with reluctance, "Forget it, let's have the doctor come and treat him first. Let's just let this matter go."

Xiao Jin said angrily, "You were almost stabbed to death by that fox's claw, how can you just let it go?"

Looking at her pale and haggard face, he felt his heart break!
The heart relived that deep-seated fear.

She had no idea he was almost driven mad!
Xue Yinzhou exuded a terrifying chill. If he hadn't been in a hurry to come back and check on her injuries, he probably would have already chased her all the way to the Yiyuan Empire and fought her to the death.

Looking at their expressions, Shen Tang sighed softly, "Shen Li... didn't actually intend to kill me."

Shen Tang explained the whole story of the earring to them.

According to the system, these earrings were forged from a Blood Soul Bead formed from the essence of blood, and now they have merged into one within her body.

Shen Tang did indeed feel a warm, fiery force nourishing her heart!
She had lost a lot of blood, and her face looked pale and haggard, but in fact, Shen Tang could feel that her physical strength was greater than before.

The bottleneck of the eighth-level peak, which had been stagnant for a long time, was broken through to the ninth level in one fell swoop!

The beastmen noticed the change in Shen Tang's aura and fell silent after hearing what she said.

How come I never noticed before that this fox was so crazy?
Shen Tang rubbed her temples. "I was a bit impulsive tonight and provoked him. Anyway, let's leave it at that and not mention it again."

In any case, the two will never have any contact again.

These earrings were also given to her by him when he was known as Shen Li.

Consider it a farewell gift from her brother.

Instead of Ji Jiuli.

"Are you dizzy? Let me rub it for you." Jialan sat down on the edge of the bed and gently reached out her hand.

Shen Tang shook her head. "I'm fine."

She turned to Xiao Jin and Xue Yinzhou, and beckoned them over, "Come here, I'll heal your injuries first."

Xiao Jin grabbed her hand, his brows furrowed, and said with concern and worry, "It's just a minor injury, why did you have to take action? You need to rest and recuperate right now, don't waste your energy."

As he spoke, his gaze unconsciously fell on her chest—although the wound had healed, the thought of that horrifying bloody hole still made him shudder!
Xiao Jin reached out and gently touched it. "Does it still hurt here? Let me rub it for you and blow on it, and it won't hurt anymore."

Shen Tang blushed and glared at him, both amused and annoyed. If it weren't for the fact that this lecherous leopard was unusually serious, she would have suspected he was taking advantage of the situation!

Xue Yinzhou walked to the bedside, pulled her into his arms, and turned to look at Jialan, "What did the doctor say?"

"Tangtang has a strong healing ability, and her body is fine, but she lost too much blood. She needs to be well nourished in the next couple of days so she can rest and recuperate."

Xue Yinzhou nodded, and when he looked down at the person in his arms, his usually cold snake eyes revealed a rare tenderness. "I'll go hunt a few Blood Essence Beasts to nourish you." After saying that, he got up and left, his actions swift and decisive.

Xiao Jin originally wanted to rush to go, but then he thought—it's good to have this dead snake do it for him, and he can stay here to take care of Tangtang.

Unfortunately, Jia Lan was there to serve tea and water, and Lu Xiao was there to prepare nutritious meals. Xiao Jin had nothing else to do in the room, so he simply let her play with his fluffy tail.

Shen Tang always liked to rub his ears and tail—although the fox's nine tails felt better, she had no choice now, he was the only person in the house she could touch and play with his tail!
Xiao Jin wasn't particularly good at taking care of people, but he was enthusiastic and talkative, and he quickly coaxed Shen Tang to sleep.

With the meticulous care of the beast-tamers, Shen Tang recovered her strength after two days of rest and returned to her official duties.

She didn't waste this opportunity to "severely injure" herself, and secretly had Xiao Jin and the others spread the word that she had been seriously injured.

Sure enough, those lurking demons and monsters couldn't hold back any longer and sent out spies and assassins. Shen Tang seized the opportunity to trap them like turtles in a jar, wiping out all these potential threats in one fell swoop.

The days that followed were not much different from before; time flowed by peacefully like water.

Under Shen Tang's rule, the empire grew stronger day by day. Not only did it successfully recover two more chaotic areas, but the magnificent new imperial palace was also nearing completion.

Later, news came from the Yiyuan Empire that Emperor Ji Jiuli had officially issued an edict to marry Wu Qing, the second young lady of the Wu family, as his empress, and the wedding would be held soon.

It is said that the entire Yiyuan Empire is immersed in celebration, and everyone is looking forward to this wedding of the century.

When Shen Tang heard this news again, her mood was already as calm as still water, but she still got angry when she thought of Shen Li's crazy behavior that night.

In the past, she had politely promised to personally bring a wedding gift to the wedding, but now she didn't even want to see him. She was afraid that she would be unable to resist stabbing him in the back again, so she simply handed the matter over to the Ministry of Rites.

Instruct the Ministry of Rites to prepare lavish gifts and send them over in the name of friendly relations between the two countries.

Then, we'll send Qiu Yang over as an envoy to deliver congratulations.

It's just a formality.

After giving her instructions, Shen Tang stopped thinking about it. Although the empire had passed its most critical moment, everything was in ruins and many problems left over from the previous dynasty needed to be solved. She really had no time to be distracted.

Xintuo City, like Green Field City, is a remote and backward city on the periphery. It is a small city with only tens of thousands of permanent residents.

There are many scattered small and medium-sized tribal villages around.

After the war, most orcs lived in poverty and were below the poverty line.

The soil here is very fertile, with rich and rare red soil resources, which can be used to grow high-value crops such as tea, fruit trees, sugarcane, mulberry trees, tung oil trees, etc.

It is used to process and produce a wider variety of delicious food products.

Shen Tang has great ambitions; she wants to expand her business to other countries and regions, not just within the Night Glow Empire.

She valued this land highly and implemented many subsidy and assistance policies.

Many elderly and disabled orcs in the city were unable to hunt or do other heavy work, so they went outside the city to cultivate wasteland and earn a lot of income, enough to support their entire families.

In a short time, many poor orc people joined the wave of cultivating fertile land.

As the sun set, a middle-aged orc wiped the sweat from his brow, preparing to end his day's work and go back for dinner.

He stretched his aching arms and walked home.

Sudden--

A rotting arm burst from the ground and suddenly grabbed his ankle!
"what--!"

A piercing scream shattered the twilight.

In the blink of an eye, his figure was dragged underground, leaving only the freshly turned soil and a few traces of struggle.

Adjust your sleep schedule, goodnight~
