A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 434 Adding an Extra Layer of Protection (Bonus Chapter for Donations)

Fu Teng pulled out a few branches and pretended to weave a flower wreath, but his eyes kept falling on Shen Tang. When he saw her lying on the chair and slowly falling asleep, he stopped.

He walked to the recliner, and a shadow fell over him. After staring intently for a few seconds, his long, slender, white fingers slowly transformed into emerald green vines, hanging down to the ground like bamboo leaves.

Shen Tang's heart skipped a beat, thinking that this guy was about to launch a sneak attack—

Unexpectedly, he tore off the vines that his fingers had transformed into, nimbly and quickly weaving them into a hammock which he hung on the tree. Turning to her, he said, "Little darling, this chair isn't comfortable. Come sleep here!"

"..." This guy is really perceptive.

Shen Tang couldn't pretend to be asleep any longer. She opened her eyes, got up and walked to the hammock. She tugged at the vine ropes and found that they were quite sturdy.

The ancient tree casts a shadow, and light filters through the gaps in the lush foliage, scattering dappled patterns.

The lush green leaves rustled melodiously in the wind, as if someone were playing a beautiful melody in my ear.

Shen Tang lay in the hammock with her eyes closed, enjoying a unique kind of comfort.

Suddenly, she felt a cool sensation on her leg. Shen Tang opened her eyes and saw that several emerald green vines were quietly wrapping around her calves and slowly climbing upwards.

She gave a half-smile. "What? You want to assassinate me while I'm asleep?"

"How could I dare? I heard you've been working too hard lately, so I wanted to give you a massage to relax your muscles and bones." As Fu Teng spoke, the emerald green vines rubbed against her calves in a friendly manner, then rolled up nimbly and massaged her legs with just the right amount of pressure.

He was very attentive to his customers, gently asking while giving the massage, "Sweetie~ How's the pressure?"

Shen Tang squinted comfortably and raised an eyebrow. "I heard? You're locked up in your space all day, where did you hear that from?"

"These plants in the yard told me that you're so busy every day, sometimes you don't even have time to eat. It breaks my heart."

"You can even talk to plants?" Shen Tang asked in surprise.

"Yes, I am a plant myself, and a lord-level overlord among plants! ... Of course, that's all in the past."

His voice was low and sounded rather aggrieved.

Shen Tangqian narrowed her eyes, lost in thought. She hadn't expected that the vine could communicate with plants. No wonder he knew her identity all along and had pretended for so long; he was truly cunning!
However, his skill is quite useful.

"How about it? Little darling, don't you think I'm amazing? I'm useful?" He smiled and leaned closer, his cloud-like dark green hair entwining around her jet-black hair, like a puppy begging for a reward.

"Hmm, very impressive. As long as you no longer harbor any malicious intentions, I can forgive and forget and coexist peacefully with you." Shen Tang said these words of praise, but in reality, she remained unmoved, slightly increasing the distance between them and keeping a watchful eye on his every move.

Shen Tang knew very well that this plant had no feelings. No matter how well it acted or how sweet its words were, it was all an act, and it could turn on her and betray her at any moment.

Never let your guard down, and never be fooled by his sweet words.

Bright sunlight streamed through the window, but it couldn't illuminate the entire room.

The bed curtains were drawn, casting shadows.

Shen Li lay on the bed, one hand propped up on his forehead, staring aimlessly at the ceiling, or as if looking at some empty air.

These days, Shen Li has stayed in her room and hasn't gone out much.

Apart from the night he was seriously injured and unconscious, his injuries had long since healed, and he rarely stepped out of his room, perhaps knowing that the other party did not want to see him.

At that moment, he felt it was time to go out for a walk.

Through the connection of the Blood Soul Pearl, he could clearly sense the other party's location.

Shen Li got up, opened the door, and went into the courtyard, only to unexpectedly bump into an unsuspecting figure.

"...You're still alive?!" Shen Li's face showed shock when he saw Fu Teng.

Seeing that he was still with Shen Tang, Shen Li's eyes flashed with tension, and foxfire quickly ignited in his palm to extinguish the vine.

"Little Darling, save me!" Fu Teng was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he quickly hid behind her for protection.

"Little Tang'er, come here quickly, this thing is dangerous!" Shen Li said anxiously, quickly walking over and trying to pull her into his arms.

Shen Tang waved his hand away and explained with a smile, "Don't worry, Fu Teng's strength has dropped drastically. He can't even beat a beastman cub. I put a blood curse on him, so he won't be able to cause any trouble for a while."

"...What? What exactly is going on?" Shen Li frowned, his handsome brows furrowing.

Shen Tang explained the whole story to him.

Shen Li hadn't expected that this vine had left a secondary vine in her space, making her think it was even more cunning! Moreover, Shen Tang's blood curse power was limited, and it was too risky to completely control the binding vine.

"It's best to keep such unstable factors away from you," he advised.

Shen Tang nodded, "I understand what you mean, but I also have my own considerations. Fu Teng's ability can restore the burned area of ​​the old imperial city. Keeping him around is more beneficial than harmful for now."

“Little Darling is right! If you let me stay, I’ll help you with the work!” Fu Teng hugged her arm, looking pitiful.

Shen Li's expression darkened further, and his right hand suddenly transformed into a beast, emitting foxfire. "Get out of my way and let me kill him."

"I said no, and that's final. This is still my territory. What do you take my words for?" Shen Tang's expression turned cold. "I'm grateful that you saved me, but this has nothing to do with you. You don't need to meddle. I'll bear the consequences myself."

Looking at her cold and distant eyes, Shen Li felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. She would rather believe a stranger who had recently seriously injured her than listen to him.
Shen Li took a deep breath, his voice low and husky, "Are you deliberately trying to annoy me?"

Shen Tang rolled her eyes speechlessly. "Why would I deliberately try to annoy you? Keeping him around is actually quite useful!"

Fu Teng listened to their conversation and a hint of surprise flashed through his mind.

The two don't seem to have a good relationship.

So, this fox isn't favored!
Fu Teng deliberately hugged Shen Tang's arm tightly, rubbing against her shoulder, and said pitifully, "Don't worry, little darling, I would never hurt you. I'm willing to stay here forever. I'll do anything you ask!"

As he spoke, from an angle that Shen Tang couldn't see, Fu Teng gave Shen Li a provocative look.

Let that damned fox burn him; he'll make him furious today!
Shen Li's face darkened suddenly. Foxfire transformed into a blade, piercing his left palm and drawing out gushing blood.

The moment he smelled the sweet scent of blood, Fu Teng's expression brightened, and he couldn't help but swallow hard as an overwhelming desire surged through his heart!
Shen Li used his hand as a brush and blood as ink to draw a rune in the air. "Alright, then I'll add another layer of protection for you. He definitely won't be able to escape before he recovers to the tenth level."

As soon as he finished speaking, the runes were injected into the body of the binding vine.

"Ah!" Fu Teng collapsed to the ground in pain again. This time, the power of the blood curse was even stronger. The pain of being forcibly suppressed by the contract was indescribable!
Damn it, he's powerless to resist now, he'll definitely get his revenge one day!
Shen Li looked at the weak Fu Teng lying on the ground, her crimson lips curving into a gentle and charming smile. "You'd better behave, or I can take your life at any time."

Fu Teng wasn't completely killed last time, but this time he was almost driven to death by anger.

If Shen Li is displeased, he can unleash the power of flesh and blood to kill him!
Now, Fu Teng dared not act recklessly anymore and became much more obedient.

Shen Tang glanced at him indifferently, but didn't say anything more.

Adding an extra layer of seal is equivalent to adding an extra layer of protection, so why not?

In the afternoon, Shen Tang received good news from the front lines: Xiao Jin and his troops, under the influence of the serum, had completely wiped out the zombie army.

Without the help of the undead army, the rebels probably won't be able to hold out for long.

At most half a month, Lu Xiao and his men will be able to return to the capital.
