A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 427 Lover
As Shen Tang listened to his heartfelt words, the fortress of ice in her heart slowly melted... and crumbled...

Suddenly, she raised her hand, hooked it around his neck, pressed down, and kissed his lips.

Shen Li's breath hitched. He felt the long-lost passion of the female, which made his whole body tense up. His arms around her waist tightened, and the veins on his arms became more prominent.

Enjoying the female's initiative to get close, the man's narrow, fox-like eyes grew increasingly dark, and his breathing gradually became erratic.

Shen Tang kissed him very carefully and gently.

Neither of them dared to be too presumptuous.

She gently kissed the corner of his lips, then slowly deepened the kiss, like a kitten licking, leaving a soft, warm, and faintly moist mark.

Shen Li looked down at her, his hand slowly moving across her waist, his fingertips gently parting the curve to reveal a slender, fair waist.

The soft touch made his heart tremble, his Adam's apple bobbed, and a certain desire within him burned ever brighter.

"Don't press down on me, it's uncomfortable." Shen Tang's cheeks flushed slightly, showing some resistance.

Shen Li picked her up and leaned her against the headboard, bending one of his long legs so that she could sit cross-legged on his waist.

This action brought the two even closer, like dry firewood that had been left to dry for too long, ready to be easily ignited by the slightest spark!
Shen Tang was able to sense his changes perfectly.

A man and a woman alone, living together in the same room.

Keep going.

Things are likely to spiral out of control.

Thinking about their current relationship, Shen Tang took a deep breath and suppressed her emotions, "...It's getting late, I'll go back first."

She tried to climb off him, but Shen Li quickly pulled her back into his arms and pressed her waist down even tighter.

His eyes were filled with a hazy, lustful light as he looked at her, and his voice grew increasingly hoarse, "Don't leave tonight."

"Stay with me, okay?"

"I miss you so much, I miss you so much..." he said, lowering his head to kiss her lips.

The man's deep, sexy voice carried a longing and a hint of pleading, making it hard to refuse.

With a click, the light went out; I don't know who turned it off.

The room fell into darkness, and ambiguous sounds filled the air, gradually becoming more unrestrained and increasingly out of control.

Shen Tang closed her eyes. Reason told her that she should leave immediately, but her body felt frozen in place.

She could say that the man forced her to stay.

But people can't deceive themselves.

In the end, Shen Tang gave up resisting, closed her eyes, followed her body's instincts, and let him entangle her.

The moonlight outside the window grew clearer, illuminating the dim room and causing the air temperature to rise steadily, radiating a scorching heat.

Shen Li's suppressed longing gaze fell on her face, and he whispered her name softly in her ear again and again.

He held her hand, their fingers intertwined.

The delicate kisses caressed every inch of skin, enough to melt even the hardest stone into spring water.

However, they never managed to take that final step.

Shen Tang knew what he wanted, but someone had to stay rational. This kind of thing shouldn't happen between her and him.

At the same time, she also felt that Shen Li was too fiery tonight, like a long-dormant volcano about to erupt, making it difficult for her to control.

How long have they been holding back?
Males who have experienced sexual intimacy are always greedy and uncontrollable, especially when they are young and vigorous. The longer they restrain themselves, the easier it will be for them to lose control.

Shen Tang buried her face in his chest and whispered, "Aren't you going to marry someone else? You didn't marry anyone else..."

“No,” he said quickly.

His voice was hoarse and strained, almost distorted, "Little Tang'er, only you."

"I'm going crazy missing you so much..."

"Give it to me, okay?" Shen Tang could sense that he was in extreme pain, so she finally sighed and put her hand through his waist.

Shen Li's body trembled suddenly, and the shock in his eyes quickly turned into confusion and pleasure.

He squinted, his gaze unfocused, and looked down at her. He gently stroked her hair, then, unable to resist, kissed her soft, rosy lips.

Shen Tang treated him very gently.

As time passed, Shen Li's emotions grew increasingly turbulent and difficult to suppress.

When it was finally over, he shoved her away abruptly, his Adam's apple bobbing violently. "Go away."

"Didn't you want me to stay?" Shen Tang leaned closer to him, gently teasing him. Looking into his restrained eyes, her cheeks flushed, and her neck and ears turned bright red.

He leaned against the headboard, closed his eyes, and said in a hoarse, dry voice, "...This is your favorite piece of clothing."

"I don't mind." Shen Tang lowered her head and kissed his lips again.

In the moment Shen Li went mad, he grabbed her clothes.

The room returned to calm. After Shen Tang came out of the bathroom, she changed her clothes.

Shen Li lay on his back on the bed, one arm draped over his forehead, his chest heaving heavily.

Shen Tang sat down on the edge of the bed.

He turned over and pulled her into his arms, kissing her lips and enjoying a moment of tenderness.

Shen Li was much more sober and simply kissed him without doing anything else.

The two embraced and kissed quietly, while the chirping of insects and birds outside the window filled the air.

After a long while, Shen Tang got sleepy.

She wrapped her arms around Shen Li's waist, nuzzled him, and asked in a languid voice, "What are your plans after we go back this time?"

Shen Li's eyes were still red. He looked quietly at the female in his arms, his slender fingers gently playing with her slightly damp hair. He didn't answer for a moment, as if he was deep in thought.

Shen Tang was unhappy with his silence. She looked up at Shen Li's stunningly beautiful face. After eating and drinking his fill, his lazy and satiated appearance made him look more like a bewitching demon.

She pressed further, "When we get back, shouldn't you hold a wedding ceremony?"

Shen Li: "The wedding was handled by the Ministry of Rites, I don't know anything about it."

Shen Tang's expression stiffened slightly at his ambiguous answer. "What...do you mean?"

He said no more.

The budding romance slowly dissipated. Looking at the man's ambiguous smile, Shen Tang felt a surge of anger, but she suppressed it and asked calmly, "Will you still marry a fox?"

Shen Li looked at her quietly for a long time, then asked instead of answering, "What do you think?"

He gently stroked her hair with his fingers, his voice still slightly hoarse, "Little Tang'er, I am still the emperor of the Yiyuan Empire. I would never marry a female from another race, let alone share a wife with another male."

Shen Tang sensed the underlying meaning in his words, then abruptly pushed him away, her voice turning cold, "Did I wrong you before?"

Shen Li pursed her lips and said, "I didn't mean that. I've been very happy with you and I've never regretted it."

"So, you're still going to marry Wu Qing?"

"Even if I don't marry her, I still can't be with you legitimately."

A surge of shame and indignation rose within Shen Tang, leaving her speechless for a moment. Her mind went blank for a while before she finally managed to ask, "Then, what are you doing to me?... What kind of relationship do we have now?"

Shen Li's identity has been verified as deceased, and their marriage has long been dissolved.

Shen Li's meaning was very clear.

He is Emperor Ji Jiuli of Yiyuan, and it is impossible for him to marry her.

An invisible silence spread, gradually freezing the warmth.

Shen Li looked at her for a long time, then slowly said,
"lover?"
