A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 478 Let's talk in my palace?

The success or failure of this meeting was not what Shen Tang cared about most.

This is the first time in recent years that the major empires have held such a grand online joint meeting, and Shen Tang also wants to take this opportunity to put forward her true demands.

This is also what she has always wanted to do.

Shen Tang's gaze swept across the entire room, and he spoke with a firm and resounding voice, "With leaders from all countries gathered here today, I also have something to say. The expansion of contaminated areas is an unstoppable trend. Our country has even discovered two precedents for the construction of illegal laboratories. Behind the rampant expansion of contaminated areas, there is a high possibility that someone is deliberately pushing it. These malignant tumors hidden behind the scenes are the real enemies of us orcs!"

"Orcs are all destined to be one, but they have been wasting themselves in endless infighting and war, giving their true enemies an opportunity to exploit them."

"I sincerely hope that all the great empires can put aside their prejudices, unite, and work together to fight against external threats!"

The female's voice was calm, steady, and dignified, quickly silencing the restless crowd. All the beastmen present could hear it clearly.

Jia Lan, Lu Xiao, Xue Yinzhou, and Shen Li looked at the confident and dignified female before them. She was beautiful, dazzling, and radiant, making it impossible for them to look away. Their hearts were pounding. This was their mistress, the one they loved most and the one they were most proud of!

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Jialan's favorability has increased by 5!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Xue Yinzhou's favorability has increased by 5!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Lu Xiao's favorability has increased by 10!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, Shen Li's favorability has increased by 10!]

Tianhui and Garuda looked at Shen Tang, who was speaking eloquently on the stage, with loving expressions, as if they were seeing their younger selves. Their smiles were full of satisfaction.

It's not just that mothers are satisfied with their sons' partners; more importantly, they see a rising star.

The high-ranking officials from various countries present listened to the female's sincere speech, and a strange feeling arose in their hearts.

This newly enthroned monarch, who has only been in power for a little over six months, is so young and inexperienced, yet he is more decisive and farsighted than they imagined, and is worthy of admiration.

Shen Tang's remarks received the approval of many high-ranking officials in various countries.

"King Nightbright is right. We orcs are a community with a shared destiny. The spread of the contaminated land will harm the people of all nations. We should stop our civil war and unite our forces to fight against the contaminated creatures!"

Some countries have not yet expressed their stance. "We will also give this matter serious consideration and look forward to more cooperation with other countries."

A very small number of countries that want to make money and expand their territory through war don't care, but they don't say much and just remain silent.

Shen Tang scanned the various orcs present and understood the situation clearly. He realized that it was not a task that could be accomplished overnight to promote unity among the orcs to fight against the mutated species.

If her remarks today can inspire orcs in many countries, then they will have some value!
[Congratulations, host! National public support +10!]

[Congratulations, host! Your Monarch Prestige has increased by 300!]

[Congratulations on reaching 2000 Monarch Prestige, obtaining the title [Highly Respected], and unlocking new features: ① Character Insight! ② Upgraded teleportation function, no map unlock required]

[Character Insight Details: You can view detailed attributes of important ministers and generals (such as personality, ability value, and loyalty level), helping you see the true colors of those around you and distinguish who can be relied upon and who needs to be guarded against.]

Shen Tang was overjoyed as she listened to the system's announcement in her mind. It was very difficult to improve public opinion and monarch prestige. She hadn't made any gains for a long time since the Night Glow Empire recovered its lost territory. This time, however, she got lucky!

The newly unlocked feature, "Character Insight," is also very useful. It can help her identify treacherous officials and loyal ministers. Next time she encounters an old conman like Fu Teng who is good at acting, she won't have to worry about being deceived again.

After the meeting, the farce officially came to an end.

This time, Rossonia has really lost more than it gained, and they must be very resentful. However, they are now under suspicion and being watched by many countries, so they certainly won't dare to commit any more crimes in the short term.

Shen Tang couldn't be certain that the experimental base was truly built by Rosenia; otherwise, judging from the arrogance of the old emperor and his officials, their acting skills wouldn't be that good. However, there was definitely some connection between the two. In terms of economic strength, Rosenia was just an ordinary neighboring country with average overall strength, and shouldn't be able to build an experimental base of such a scale. It was most likely that they were being used as pawns.

The real executioner is still hiding behind the scenes.

"Little Tang'er, I have something I want to say to you alone." Shen Li looked at her, his captivating fox-like eyes filled with an irresistible affection.

Shen Tang pursed her lips, turned to look at the beastmen beside her, "...You all go ahead with your business, I'm going to say a few words to Shen Li."

"Alright, I'll head back to the Lu family now. Call me if the mistress needs anything."

Just then, his deputy, Shu Feng, needed to speak with him, so Lu Xiao left first.

Xue Yinzhou was somewhat unwilling, but Jialan dragged him away.

Shen Tang looked at Shen Li, somewhat hesitant, "To my palace?"

Shen Li's eyebrows curved into a smile, and his thin lips curved into a charming smile, "I couldn't ask for more."

"..."

The lingering heat of late summer gradually dissipated, and autumn quietly crept onto the branches. The two walked side by side in silence, without uttering a word.

The leaves of the roadside trees have turned mottled yellow. A cool breeze blows, and a fallen leaf swirls gently and lands softly on Shen Tang's shoulder.

A hand with distinct knuckles brushed away the fallen leaves for her, its fingertips brushing casually against her earlobe, accompanied by a soft sigh, "Are you still angry with me?"

Shen Tang stopped, turned around, and shook her head. "We each have our own interests. I don't need to get angry about this. Besides, if I really hated you, I wouldn't..."

A blush appeared on her beautiful face, as enchanting as the sunset.

Shen Tang coughed lightly and turned her head away. "Anyway, thank you for coming. You've helped me a lot, both in the past and now."

Shen Li gazed intently at her, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes, while his thin lips still held a captivating smile. "Little Tang'er, the Emperor of the Yiyuan Empire has come in person, not just for you. Once the polluted land expands, it will threaten everyone."

He took a step closer to her and said in a low voice, "This is cooperation between our two countries, not a personal matter but a public one. You don't need to feel burdened by it."

"..." Shen Tang's expression became somewhat unnatural after this cunning fox saw through her thoughts at a glance. She did not reject his approach, but lowered her head with some melancholy and confusion. "So many people saw you and me. The nobles and ministers of the Yiyuan Empire must know about it too. How are you going to handle this?"

The two didn't exactly make their relationship public, but it wasn't far off. Anyone with eyes could see that their relationship was more than just casual.

This was precisely what troubled her all along.

Shen Tang had initially thought that if they were just lovers, she would accept it! But she hadn't expected Shen Li to do this, and now she was worried about him instead!

"Little Tang'er, do you not trust Brother Li?"

Shen Li gently twirled a strand of her long hair between his fingers, playing with it as he spoke, his voice carrying a subtle allure, "I haven't been working for nothing these past few days. Breaking through to the Ten-Tails level, though unexpected..."

He leaned closer, his breath brushing against her ear, "But it is the most fortunate opportunity I have, because of you, Xiao Tang'er."

"You are my good fortune and a hero of the empire; no one dares to speak ill of you."

Shen Li smiled slightly, "The Ten-Tails is a supreme king that surpasses the Nine-Tails. When I return this time, the news of my breakthrough to the Ten-Tails will be announced to the world. Even if someone is unwilling, they will not dare to openly say anything."

Every move he made was like a meticulously planned game of chess, precise and unstoppable.
