A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 463 Will I Regret It?

"This... Didn't Linlang Pavilion stop selling them a long time ago? You bought that raw stone in the store?!" Shen Tang quickly realized what was happening, her eyes widening in disbelief.

"Hmm." Shen Li looked at her, a charming smile curving his lips, and said gently, "When I first saw you, I felt that you were a perfect match."

Shen Tang was both amused and exasperated. "I made a special trip there just to buy this piece of jade. I've been thinking about it all the way there, but I never expected that someone else would buy it before me. And I never expected that person to be you!"

"Does this mean that Xiaotang'er and I are telepathically connected?" Shen Li's slender, jade-like fingers entwined a strand of her hair, and he gently sniffed it.

The atmosphere between the two seemed to melt away, becoming much warmer.

Shen Tang felt a little awkward, but she didn't push Shen Li away again. She blinked, her clear, dark cat-like eyes meeting his, and pouted, complaining, "Oh~ you're such a domineering emperor, buying all the raw stones, leaving me nowhere to buy any."

She raised an eyebrow, speaking in a bossy tone, "Then you must still have quite a bit of jade left, right? Could you give me some?"

Looking at her spoiled little face, Shen Li smiled even more broadly and shook his head regretfully, "No more."

He did want to give it to her to please her.

Unfortunately, it's really impossible to get it out now.

"How is that possible?" Shen Tang stared wide-eyed in disbelief, then looked at the jade carving in her hand, which was less than half the size of her palm, and frowned. "You bought such a big piece of raw stone, and only used such a small piece. There must be a lot left."

"I've failed many times, but I've only succeeded this time," Shen Li explained.

He is a rather easygoing person.

They were overly critical only on this small matter.

If a single engraving is made incorrectly, or even slightly off-target, the entire piece will be destroyed.

From such a large and precious raw stone, only this small finished product remains.

Shen Li's long, jade-like fingers rested on her soft palm, and he extended a fingertip to gently stroke the head of the kitten jade carving.

The kitten is exquisitely carved, with each whisker clearly defined, but when it is angry, its whiskers are slightly curled up.

That lifelike little expression is probably one of a kind in the whole world!

Not to mention the shoddy fakes on the street stalls, even the so-called master-level carvings of Linlang Pavilion are not as good as them!
Shen Li gazed intently at Shen Tang's face, not missing a single subtle expression. He asked nervously, "Little Tang'er, do you like it?"

Shen Tang looked at the lifelike jade cat carving in her hand and gently stroked it. The top-quality jade and the craftsmanship made her love it so much that she couldn't put it down.

She nodded sincerely, "I like it very much!"

After saying that, Shen Tang leaned forward and kissed his lips.

Shen Li's pupils contracted sharply, and his blood boiled with desire!

Shen Tang turned her face away, somewhat awkwardly saying, "Ahem, don't overthink it, this is... a thank-you gift!"

Shen Li grasped her waist, turned her around and pressed her down, his large hand cupping the back of her head, and lowered his head to deepen the long-awaited, lingering kiss.

He says,

"But I'm not."

He wanted to kiss her.

I want to hug her.

Want her.

That's it.

Shen Tang was overwhelmed by Shen Li's domineering and passionate feelings, which made her feel shocked and a long-lost infatuation.

Shen Li used to be aloof. He seemed very gentle and warm towards her, but Shen Tang could sense a hidden distance between them, a boundary he drew between them.

She could never truly understand him.

But this time was different. Shen Li completely opened his heart and soul, embracing her with all his might.

He was the one who took the initiative to embrace her, trying to melt her heart as much as possible, instead of her desperately chasing after him...

Shen Li released her lips just before she was about to suffocate, but he was still not satisfied.

He gently kissed the corner of her lips soothingly, then her eyebrows, her eyelids, and finally gently nibbled on her jade-like earlobe.

The warm, wet kisses slid down the neck, lingering on the collarbone.

In a state of arousal, a male will uncontrollably exhibit a degree of bestiality, his canines becoming sharper as he licks and bites her collarbone, sending a tingling, electric-like sensation through his body—a mixture of pain and pleasure!

Shen Tang wrapped her arms around him like soft vines, letting out a low moan.

His robe slipped down, revealing Shen's well-defined back, crisscrossed with faint red marks, like red plum blossoms blooming in the snow.

Nine fox tails, like flowing clouds, wrapped around her waist and gently swept over her.

The tip of its tail was damp with arousal, teasingly subtle.

The sweet scent of a female in heat permeates the air, growing ever stronger, enough to drive any male mad.

A dangerous tenderness lingered in Shen Li's eyes as he pulled the person deeper into his embrace.

Shen Tang lowered her head and bit his shoulder, leaving crescent-shaped red marks between her teeth. Her voice became increasingly unsteady, "It's not too late to regret it now."

The fox tail tightened gently, and Shen Li kissed the top of her head, saying contentedly, "I have no regrets."

"Then aren't you afraid..." She frowned slightly, tears welling up in her eyes. She bit his chest in a fit of pique, and said haltingly, "That prophecy, the prophecy of your master, the High Priest..."

As for resentment towards Shen Li, so much time has passed that it's long gone.

On the contrary, she felt more gratitude towards him; otherwise, she wouldn't have made a special trip to save him.

This is what Shen Tang has always held a grudge about.

If she and Shen Li were to be together, it would truly lead to a tragic ending; it would be a predetermined mistake.

The two should indeed separate and remain strangers or ordinary friends.

Instead of being as close and inseparable as we are now...

Shen Li's kiss paused for only a moment before he buried his face deeper into her neck. "Prophecies may not come true." His burning lips brushed against her pulse. "Fate is always unpredictable."

“Master’s prophecy may not necessarily come true.”

He gently combed through her sweat-dampened hair with his fingertips, his voice hoarse with passion, "Besides, how could such a vast empire, with its foundation built over thousands of years, possibly perish because of a mere female?"

That does make sense.

Shen Tang was still uneasy. If this thing didn't happen, why did the high priest receive this prophecy for no reason?

Moreover, the High Priest was a person even the Emperor of the Yiyuan Empire respected, and the prophecies he obtained through divination by burning his lifespan were almost always true.

The system reassured, "Host, the High Priest only spoke of foreign females, not specifically you. Who knows, your arrival might break the prophecy!"

Shen Tang's forehead twitched, and she gritted her teeth, "You damn system, you want to die!"

【I'll get out of here right now!】

"...Come back. This time, I'll let it slide. Just explain yourself!"

The system covered its eyes and stated logically, "[The host is a soul from another world who accidentally arrived in the Beast World. You were never originally destined for this world. Your arrival has also altered the original plot. Perhaps the High Priest prophesied about someone else, such as the original female lead, Shen Qingli.]"

[If the host hadn't interfered, she would have been the female who was with Shen Li.]
