A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 560 Late Night Chat
Upon hearing this, not only did Xiao Jin's face darken immediately, but even Yun Han's expression turned ugly. If there weren't so many people watching, they would have already punched this guy!

Where did this wild male come from?
How dare they try to steal someone from him!
What makes that brat so special!
Xiao Jin was so angry that he couldn't hold back any longer. He grabbed the young man by the collar and said fiercely, "What did you say? Say it again if you dare!"

The young man turned pale with fright. "Brother, please don't hit me! Please don't hit me! I really love your partner so much, I just couldn't control myself and said those hurtful things..."

Shen Tang was also shocked by these direct words.

When she came to her senses, she saw that Xiao Jin was so angry he was practically fuming, and he grabbed the young man by the neck, ready to strike him hard!
The surrounding orcs rushed forward to stop them, but they couldn't get close at all and were blasted to the ground by the powerful supernatural energy.

Shen Tang quickly spoke up to stop him, "Ah Jin, don't be impulsive, release him immediately!"

Xiao Jin, this volatile wild leopard, only listened to Shen Tang. He snorted unwillingly, released the young man in his arms, and threw him to the ground.

The young man's face turned pale with fright. He coughed lightly twice, making him appear even more frail and pitiful.

The burly man next to him quickly stepped forward to help the young man up, explaining with a smile, "Please don't be angry, gentlemen. My young master is a man of strong emotions. It's just that this beautiful woman's charm is too captivating, truly unparalleled, making it impossible not to admire her!"

One of them scoffed, "This is our Emperor, of course he's not someone ordinary people can compare to!"

The beastmen in the caravan looked at Shen Tang in surprise upon hearing this.

The snowstorm was too intense and the situation too urgent; they hadn't even noticed that this was the esteemed emperor of the Night Glow Empire!
This is truly rude! So rude!

Unexpectedly, the young man's gaze towards Shen Tang became even more ardent, and he blurted out without hesitation, "I am willing to represent the Empire in a marriage alliance!"

Before Xiao Jin and the others could get angry, Shen Tang quickly smiled helplessly and said, "Young master, please stop joking. Let's talk about your business first."

After some investigation, Shen Tang learned that this was a merchant caravan sent by the imperial city of the Yongdong Empire. It was not just a simple civilian caravan, but also a semi-official team.

They brought a lot of supplies this time. Although some of them were lost on the way, a large amount of supplies were still preserved, which were mostly crystal ores containing rich energy.

The young man leading the group was named Lin Xi. According to the burly man in charge, he was the young master of their merchant guild. He insisted on coming along, saying he wanted to broaden his horizons and see a more prosperous place.

Shen Tang and his team escorted the caravan back to a safer city, provided them with a courtyard to live in, and prepared a delicious feast as a welcome banquet.

The orcs in the caravan seemed to have not eaten such hot food in a long time, and they were so moved that tears almost streamed down their faces.

"The Nightfall Empire is indeed a prosperous place. I have never eaten such delicious food in my entire life."

"Yes, yes, I don't know what spices were used to marinate this meat, but the meat is so tender and there is no fishy smell at all."

"This bread has a soft and sweet wheat flavor, it's absolutely delicious."

"This soup is also very delicious, it's creamy and tender, it's so good."

The orcs in the caravan were full of praise.

Shen Tang also sent people to treat them well in the following days.

On the day of departure, the caravan was very reluctant to part, but had no choice but to set off again.

Since they killed those ice beasts, the north has been much more peaceful. The raging blizzards seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and calm returned to normal.

The caravan brought back a lot of energy crystals, which they exchanged for an equal amount of food and supplies before returning to the Eternal Winter Empire.

The orcs in the caravan couldn't help but marvel at how powerful the Nightfall Empire was becoming.

Although the Night Glow Empire was once a prosperous country, its overall national strength was always at a medium level. While it was considered relatively powerful among small countries, it was always suppressed by several top empires.

The Night Glow Empire is growing stronger and stronger, and even the Eternal Winter Empire can't help but feel awe towards it.

When it was time to see them off, Shen Tang personally came to see the caravan off and talked about the Dawn Alliance.

As a neighboring country of the Night Glow Empire, the Eternal Winter Empire would receive tremendous support from the Dawn Alliance if it could be invited to join.

The caravan was in a dilemma. "I understand His Majesty's feelings. We also hope that our two countries can establish peaceful and stable diplomatic relations... Unfortunately, these depend on the will of our Emperor and the thoughts of our high-ranking officials, which is beyond our control."

"However, we are willing to pass this message on to the Imperial high command."

Shen Tang also said, "Then thank you very much. I really hope to form an alliance with the Yongdong Empire. If we can get the opportunity to talk, we are willing to offer generous rewards."

Lin Xi said happily, "Your Majesty, please add me as a contact. We will definitely notify you as soon as we have any news."

“Sure.” Shen Tang didn’t refuse and readily exchanged personal contact information with him.

Lin Xi said with reluctance, "I will miss you when we part. I will definitely come to see Your Majesty again if I have the chance in the future."

Xiao Jin glared at him with a dark expression, clenched his fists, and couldn't help but want to hit him again.

Lin Xi was probably scared, and at most she only said a few words to express her longing, but in the end she reluctantly left with the caravan.

A few days later, Shen Tang received a message from Lin Xi saying that they had successfully reached the border of the Yongdong Empire and that there was nothing to worry about.

As for the icy plains in the north of the empire, the troops and supplies sent by the imperial city have been successfully delivered, buildings are being rebuilt, and people's lives are returning to normal. It's time for Shen Tang and his group to leave.

On the night before she left, Shen Tang still had some things she wanted to say and planned to talk to Yun Han again.

A warm campfire was lit inside the stone house, crackling and burning, which helped to break the overly quiet atmosphere.

Shen Tang took out a pot of wine from her spatial storage and poured a cup for each of them. "This is wine I brewed last winter. It's been more than a year now, and the wine tastes the best at this time. Try it and see how it tastes."

Yun Han picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and after savoring it carefully, praised it, "It's very fragrant and mellow, more mellow and rich than the strong liquor from the North. It tastes better and isn't so spicy or harsh on the throat."

He hadn't tasted such a fragrant and mellow wine in a long time.

It reminded him of the meal he had at Shen Tang's house that night.

Shen Tang chuckled and teased, "It seems your alcohol tolerance has improved quite a bit since then."

Yun Han nodded with a light laugh, "It's better now, at least I won't make a fool of myself anymore."

Shen Tang also recalled the past and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. After a moment of silence, she asked, "How have you been these days?"

"pretty good."

"The North is cold and desolate, and many people can't stand it."

"Our Yun family originally migrated from the north. This is the place where we have lived for thousands of years, so we don't feel anything special about it."

"But as the young master of the Yun family, you can't just stay here forever. When do you plan to go back?"

Yun Han remained silent.

After a moment, he said, "Although my strength has now broken through to the tenth level, I can't be of much help in the imperial city. On the contrary, the garrison in the north is weak and there is no strong force to guard it."

"Although the Yongdong Empire seems friendly at the moment, there is no guarantee that other situations may arise. It would be safer for Your Majesty to send me here."

Judging from his tone, it seems he intends to stay in the north indefinitely.

Shen Tang respected his idea.

The old master of the Yun family no longer has any superpowers, but he is still quite healthy and can work for another ten or eight years without any problem.

In a few years, Yun Han might change his mind.

Besides, he might have children by then, so there's no need to worry about the Yun family falling into the hands of others.

Think of it...

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Tang looked up at the handsome man in front of her and said, "Since you plan to stay here, you should find someone you like as soon as possible."

Yun Han stared at her blankly. "I..." He pursed his lips and shook his head. "I don't have that idea yet."

Shen Tang understood that he had just gone through a painful relationship. Although he had successfully escaped the quagmire, it would probably take time to gradually heal the psychological wounds left behind.

She herself is still very young, and she is not urging Yun Han to get married. She just hopes that he can get over it as soon as possible, and that he can look further ahead in the future and find someone he likes and who is right for him.

"You can't rush things when it comes to relationships. You can take your time to find someone you can spend your life with, but you have to keep that in mind. You can't just be indifferent to everything," Shen Tang said slowly. "There are many excellent and beautiful females in the Empire. I've also met several females in the Northern Territory who are interested in you. They're all quite attractive."

Yun Han gave a soft "hmm" and poured himself a glass of wine. "I know."

How could he not understand the implication in her words?

Shen Tang looked at him and continued, "Your father has always been worried about your marriage. I've talked to the Yun family patriarch a few times before. At his age, you're the only one he's worried about. He always wants you to bring a grandson back for him."

Yun Han downed the wine in his cup in one gulp and said with a wry smile, "My father is pressuring you to have a baby right now?"

"There's nothing we can do. The old man wants a grandson. Everyone in the city knows that. But old people are all like that, so you don't need to worry."

Yun Han nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Your Majesty. I will find someone to give it a try."

"If you think so, I feel relieved."

"It's getting late, you should go and get some rest too."

"it is good."

After the short yet seemingly endless dinner, Yun Han escorted Shen Tang back to her residence. The next morning, the group was fully prepared to return to the capital.

The 2000-word chapter I owed last night, plus the 4000-word update tonight, makes a total of 6000 words.

I'll add 3000 words first, and there'll be another 3000 words in the next chapter!
