A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 431 Sourness
Last night, the system said that her recent treatment was effective in treating Shen Li's severed tail.

Shen Tang wanted to get rid of the person as soon as possible, so she wouldn't have to see them and be bothered by them.

We've decided to give him another treatment during the day!
Two treatments a day, morning and evening, should help him recover faster.

Besides, after last night's unpleasant experience, it would be a bit awkward for the two of them to meet again. Bringing a tilapia along as a third wheel would at least ease the awkward atmosphere a little.

With outsiders present, Shen Li, a person who cares about his reputation, would definitely not talk nonsense or do those outrageous things.

……

Inside the room, Shen Liping lay on the bed, one hand on his forehead, one long leg bent, his eyes closed, seemingly lost in thought.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, looked towards the door, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and a slight smile appeared on his rosy lips.

"Little Tang'er, why are you here so early today?" He got up and opened the door, smiling warmly, like a gentle spring breeze.

But when Shen Li saw Luo Fei next to Shen Tang, his smile suddenly froze.

Who is this?
Why are there other unfamiliar males around her?
Shen Li frowned slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

Perhaps it was male instinct, but the moment Shen Li saw Luo Fei, he began to scrutinize the orc in front of him.

He doesn't look very old, but his features are quite handsome and well-proportioned. He has a strong and tall build, dark skin, and a rugged and wild temperament. He is also quite strong, being at the early stage of the ninth rank.

This person reminded her of a wild leopard that had escaped from the slums, but he was more savage and unkempt. He probably wasn't her type.

However, it's also possible that she might change her taste.

Most females prefer passionate and straightforward males.

She is no exception.

Shen Li's eyes darkened slightly, and his smile faded.

Normally, Shen Li wouldn't have paid any attention to these orcs; at most, he would have thought they were quite strong and could be recruited.

But today, he was unusually attentive and critical.

Luo Fei was a rough and uncouth man, but to become the leader of Black Wind Stronghold, he was far from being as simple and honest as he appeared on the surface. Moreover, the orcs had keen senses, and he noticed the hostility that the male opposite him had revealed in an instant.

Luo Fei stared intently at the beautiful fox spirit before him, his face tense, and gritted his teeth inwardly: Sure enough, someone's trying to steal my spot!
Luo Fei had never met Shen Li before and did not know his true identity. The thought that His Majesty had been eating and living with this wild fox these past few days, while he had been with her for so long and had not received such good treatment, filled him with jealousy!
In the brief instant the door opened, both men were thinking about a lot of things, and a faint smell of gunpowder filled the air.

Shen Li withdrew his gaze and looked at the beautiful bouquet in Shen Tang's hand. His long eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression softened.

He extended a long, slender finger and gently touched the damp flower stamen, a charming and gentle smile curving his thin lips. "Little Tang'er, is this for me?"

"Hmm? This is a gift from Luo Fei. If you like it, you can keep it here. There's an empty vase on your desk anyway." Shen Tang handed him the bouquet and stepped into the house.

Luo Fei's eyes widened, and he muttered aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, this is a gift for you. How could you... how could you just give it to another male like that?"

"I have too much stuff in my room, there's nowhere to put it. Besides, he won't be staying here for long, so it doesn't matter which room I put it in," Shen Tang replied casually.

Luo Fei's mind raced. Could it be that this fox would leave once it recovered from its injuries?

Anyway, the flowers have already been sent, and she knows his feelings; she can put them in whichever room he wants.

His gloom vanished instantly, and he eagerly followed to help.

Shen Li stared at the bouquet in her hand, stunned.

The bouquet was vibrant and glistening with morning dew, clearly freshly picked that morning. It wasn't some rare or expensive flower; it was just a common roadside wildflower.

She's busy with official duties these days, so she probably doesn't have time to go outside and pick wildflowers. So, it was this male beast that gave them to her?

The meaning behind a male giving flowers to a female is self-evident.

Shen Li's expression was rather unpleasant.

He pursed his lips, turned to look at the two people in the room. Shen Tang was rolling up her sleeves and handing Luo Fei a medicine packet, instructing, "Go get me a basin of water. I'm going to wash my hands. Remember to soak the medicine packet in it for about five minutes."

"Okay, Your Majesty."

"Just fill a basin with warm water, not too hot or too cold."

"I understand!" The two spoke familiarly, the atmosphere relaxed.

They've obviously known each other for a long time.

During the time he was away, did someone new appear in her life?
Shen Li's smile vanished completely, his eyes darkened, he clenched the bouquet in his hand, turned to look at the empty vase on the table, and inserted the flowers into the vase.

Soon, Luo Fei brought over a basin of warm water and placed it on the stool.

The herbal sachet soaked in water has disinfecting and moisturizing effects. Shen Tang would soak her hands in the herbal sachet before each treatment for Shen Li.

Shen Li sat on the chair, propping her face up with one hand, her long eyelashes drooping slightly, while she twirled a vase in her other hand, exuding an indescribable quietness, as if she were truly just a patient waiting for treatment.

His gaze unconsciously fell on the two busy people.

They're... really close.

Why do people talk so close to each other?

Will I die if I stay away?

Anyone could see the male's attentiveness and attempts to please the female, and she didn't refuse, even returning a smile from time to time.

The familiar and harmonious atmosphere between the two made Shen Li feel out of place, as if she were an outsider.

But clearly, he is hers—

The vase in Shen Li's hand stopped spinning and tightened slightly.

"Your Majesty, let me do it!" After Shen Tang finished washing his hands, Luo Fei quickly stepped forward to help carry away the basin of water.

His hand landed on Shen Tang's hand, a very light touch, but it was by no means unintentional.

"Snapped!"

The crisp sound of a vase shattering!
Startled by the sudden commotion, Shen Tang turned to look at Shen Li and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Shen Li looked down at the broken pieces and scattered flowers on the ground, her smile gentle. "Sorry, my hand slipped."

"You—" Before Luo Fei could even savor the tenderness, he saw the flowers he had picked that morning thrown on the ground, and he was furious and embarrassed.

That vixen is definitely doing this on purpose!
Shen Tang spoke first, "It's nothing, it's just a vase, as long as no one is hurt."

As she spoke, she went to find something to dispose of.

Luo Fei quickly stepped forward to help, "Your Majesty, please rest, I'll do it."

It's a pity the bouquet was smashed to pieces; it can only be disposed of along with the vase.

This little incident passed quickly.

After completing today's recuperation.

Shen Tang handed Luo Fei a bag of prescriptions, saying, "These are nourishing herbs I got from the hospital. Go and help me brew them into a medicinal soup."

She was determined to use multiple methods; she refused to believe that the fox's tail wouldn't grow back!
Luo Fei suppressed his displeasure and obediently went to do his work.

After he finished brewing the medicine, he brought the bowl to Shen Li and said, "Drink it quickly."

Shen Li glanced indifferently at the bowl of dark, murky medicine. "I don't need it."

"Don't worry, there's sugar in the medicine packet, so it won't be bitter." Shen Tang looked at him considerately and said, "I specially asked someone to prepare it for you. It's very good for your health, and once you're fully recovered, you can leave sooner."

"You drink what His Majesty tells you to drink. What patient wouldn't listen to their doctor!" Luo Fei thought to himself that this fox was really taking advantage of his favor!
As Shen Li listened to the two of them singing in unison, a sense of melancholy flashed through his heart.

Does she really want him to leave?
Shen Li took the medicine bowl and drank it down in one gulp.

It's still very tough.

He didn't like bitterness, but he hoped the medicine would be even more bitter to mask the slight sourness in his heart.
