A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 485 We are husband and wife, we shouldn't have secrets.

Everyone in the hospital was stunned.

They all thought Xiao Jin was beyond saving, even the sedatives had no effect, and the army had even surrounded the hospital to carry out the execution. But unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better!
Shen Tang looked at the frightened crowd and the messy ward, and said apologetically, "Don't be afraid, everyone. It's all over now. I will arrange for a construction team to rebuild the hospital tomorrow, and all the injured will receive compensation."

"Fortunately, His Majesty arrived in time, and there are no casualties." Doctor Goya breathed a sigh of relief and quickly told two orcs to carry the unconscious Xiao Jin to bed.

Shen Tang said softly, "You guys go back and rest first, leave this to me."

"Then, Your Majesty, please be careful. We won't disturb you any longer." Goya was a sensible person. She could tell that the two wanted to be alone. After going through life and death, they always needed the warmth of being together. So she led the other orcs away.

The hospital is now completely surrounded by the military.

Goya and the others encountered Lu Xiao, Xue Yinzhou, and Jialan rushing over in the corridor.

Goya hurriedly reported, "Please rest assured, my three husbands, Major General Xiao Jin is out of danger, and the crisis at the hospital has been resolved. I would be grateful if you could bring the troops to provide support."

Lu Xiao nodded. "It's alright, it's our duty. Let's go in and take a look."

Goya reached out to stop her, "This shouldn't be necessary! His Majesty arrived a while ago and is in the ward with Major General Xiao Jin. He probably doesn't want to be disturbed."

Jialan looked surprised. "...Tangtang? Wasn't she resting in her room? How did she end up at the hospital?"

Xue Yinzhou also frowned.

None of the three of them noticed that she had slipped out in the middle of the night.

What's even stranger is that Xiao Jin, who was clearly sentenced to "death," suddenly recovered.

Lu Xiao looked up at the light in the sixth-floor ward, a thoughtful look flashing in his deep, grayish-blue eyes.

The female master truly harbors many secrets.

……

Inside the hospital room, Shen Tang was completely unaware that Lu Xiao and the others had arrived. All her thoughts were focused on the man lying on the hospital bed, her fingertips gently tracing his thin cheek, "Ah Jin, get well soon..."

At this moment, Xiao Jin's face was pale and haggard, completely devoid of her usual flamboyant energy. This leopard, which always shamelessly clung to her, was now so quiet it was heartbreaking.

If peace had to be gained at such a price, she would rather he stay noisy forever.

"Why aren't you awake yet..." she murmured softly, then lowered her head and placed a light kiss on his lips.

Then they brought warm water and carefully wiped the blood and dirt off his face and body with a towel.

The man remained unconscious until late into the night. Shen Tang's heart was still heavy with worry, and finally, unable to resist her exhaustion, she fell into a deep sleep by the bedside.

"Uh……"

As the moon set, Xiao Jin slowly woke up, his whole body aching as if he had been run over.

But then he heard familiar breathing beside him. Turning his head, he saw the female sleeping by the bedside, and his breath caught in his throat. "Tangtang..."

The gentle moonlight fell upon the serene sleeping face of the female, her dark hair cascading down like a waterfall, a beauty that trembled in the heart.

Xiao Jin even held his breath, afraid of disturbing her peaceful sleep. His gaze fell on the basin of water and the towel by the bedside, recalling the events during her unconsciousness. His heart was filled with both sorrow and an indescribable happiness, overflowing with joy.

He carefully took the hospital gown, put it on, and quietly got out of bed, gently carrying the sleeping female onto the bed.

Silly Tangtang, it's so uncomfortable to sleep here.

In her sleep, Shen Tang vaguely felt herself falling into a warm and firm embrace.

A warm touch gently landed on her forehead, the movement so tender it made her heart flutter, then slowly moved to the tip of her nose, and finally gently kissed her lips.

"Stop it..." Shen Tang mumbled softly, her eyes drooping with sleep, as she snuggled closer into his embrace.

Xiao Jin gently wrapped his arms around her waist, rested his chin on the top of her fluffy hair, gazed at the sleeping face of the female in his arms, and couldn't help but lower his head to kiss her lips again, his eyes filled with rare tenderness and love.

The experience of near death always feels strangely familiar.

He felt as if he were having that nightmare again, falling once more into a cold, dark abyss, a place of utter despair, like hell itself.

Until a ray of light suddenly appeared in the darkness; she tore through the void, opened her arms to him, and redeemed him from the abyss. Each time, it was she who pulled him back to the world of the living.

His Tangtang is the most precious gift God has given him.

Xiao Jin couldn't help but hug the person in his arms even tighter, wishing he could meld her into his very bones.

If only she could belong to him forever.

However, he was content to be with her forever, just like now.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Xiao Jin's favorability has increased by 30!]

Shen Tang was startled awake by the system's notification sound. The moment she opened her eyes, she was met with a pair of deep golden eyes, like the most dazzling and bright sun in spring, which seemed to absorb one's soul.

She was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to her senses, bursting into tears of joy, "Ah Jin, you're finally awake! That's wonderful, you're still alive!"

"Thank you, Tangtang." Xiao Jin hugged her tightly. "You saved me again."

Shen Tang hugged him back, gently kissed his chin, and choked out, "I love you, it's all worth it."

Xiao Jin's heart was melting like spring water. How could his Tangtang be so wonderful?
A leopard, who had lived a life of utter ignorance for over twenty years, experienced for the first time both attachment to and fear of life.

If one day he were to lose her... no, he couldn't even imagine that day coming.

"My lady, there are no available rooms at the hospital right now. Would you like to go back and rest?" Lu Xiao knocked on the door and came in. After seeing the two embracing, he coughed lightly.

Shen Tang blushed and released Xiao Jin, only then noticing that Xue Yinzhou and Jia Lan had also followed her in. The three beastmen's meaningful gazes fell on her, causing the air in the room to freeze slightly.

Xiao Jin glanced coldly at these clueless guys—didn't they see he wanted to spend more time with Tangtang?
Shen Tang quickly broke the awkward silence, "It's perfect that you're here. Xiao Jin is much better now. I'll have a construction team come to fix it tomorrow. Let's head back tonight!"

After leaving the hospital, Lu Xiao was about to return to the Lu family home when he suddenly called out to Shen Tang, "Mistress, can you come with me for a moment?"

Shen Tang thought something had happened to the Lu family, so she sent the other beastmen back to the palace first and left with him alone.

Upon arriving at the Lu family study, Lu Xiao casually closed the door and even carefully drew the curtains.

This sudden action made Shen Tang inexplicably nervous. She unconsciously swallowed and asked, "Ah Xiao, what's wrong? Is there something important you want to say?"

Lu Xiao's deep gaze fell on her, and he smiled slightly, "Yes, there is indeed something very important."

Shen Tang felt even more nervous and blinked before asking, "Is it about the Lu family? Or..."

"It's about you."

"what?"

"I want to know how many secrets the female master is still hiding."

Lu Xiao strode up to her, his tall figure completely enveloping her. He reached out and gently stroked her cheek, his voice low and tender, "Where...did you go tonight?"

Alarm bells rang in Shen Tang's mind as she stared blankly at the man before her. He still had that gentle and composed demeanor, but a scrutinizing glint flashed in his deep, bluish-gray eyes.

At this moment, Shen Tang suddenly remembered Lu Xiao from the past.

He is not actually as approachable and gentle as he appears on the surface.

He has always been a rational and detached person.

The reason I chose to help her and submit to her in the first place was because I valued her, or perhaps I just thought... she was mysterious and interesting?

Since they fell in love, Lu Xiao has always behaved gently and properly, making Shen Tang almost forget his true nature—the Lu Xiao who is extremely good at observing and exploring.

She was supposed to be resting in her room tonight, but she suddenly appeared at the hospital and even cured Xiao Jin, who was beyond the doctors' ability to treat.

This is really too strange.

If it were Xue Yinzhou, he probably wouldn't care at all.

If it were Jialan, she might be puzzled but wouldn't delve into it.

But Lu Xiao wanted to find out the answer.
