A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 564 True Identity Exposed!
Shen Tang gently pressed Xue Yinzhou's hand against her cheek, her bright eyes looking at him firmly. "I'm only taking him in temporarily. He'll leave once A-Lian recovers. But you are my most important family member. If... if you really can't accept him, I'll arrange for someone to send him away."

A warm current quietly flowed through Xue Yinzhou's heart, and his whole heart softened.

The beloved female has already put it this way.

How could he bear to refuse her?

"Let him stay here for now," Xue Yinzhou said softly.

Shen Tang was still pondering how to tactfully communicate with A-Lian when she heard this answer, and her round eyes widened even more. "Huh?"

Xue Yinzhou's slender fingers gently brushed against her eyelashes; her eyes were always so gentle and clear. He sighed softly, "You are too kind."

"No matter what happens, I will protect you. Since you want him to stay, then let him stay."

Because of the trauma of being hunted down in his childhood, Xue Yinzhou has an exceptionally keen sense of danger and a suspicious and cautious personality. He will eliminate any potential threat immediately, preferring to kill the innocent rather than let the guilty go free.

But at this moment, he was even more unwilling to put Shen Tang in a difficult position, and unwilling to let a strange male affect their relationship.

"I promise you, I will never lay a hand on him again."

Shen Tang immediately beamed and planted a kiss on his cheek. "Zhouzhou is the best! You're truly the gentlest and kindest snake beast in the world~"

He is not.

Xue Yinzhou turned his face away somewhat uncomfortably, a suspicious blush rising on his fair skin? Shen Tang blinked, but before she could see clearly, he reached out and covered her eyes, his deep voice sounding in her ear, "The wild fruits here taste quite good, would you like to pick some to take back?"

Shen Tang's attention was immediately diverted. She got up from his arms and realized that she was in front of a wild fruit forest.

Some fruits taste unripe, while others are exceptionally sweet, their rich aroma reminiscent of delicious jams and juices.

Xue Yinzhou followed silently behind her, watching the little female's joyful figure frolicking in the moonlight, his cool purple eyes filled with tenderness.

Some of the fruits were hanging too high, and Shen Tang couldn't reach them even when she stood on tiptoe.

Xue Yinzhou stepped forward, supported her waist, and easily lifted her up with one hand, sitting her in the crook of his arm.

He was already tall and slender, standing out even among the generally robust male beasts, and in his half-snake form, he was nearly three meters tall. Shen Tang's vision suddenly broadened, and she couldn't help but gasp softly!
She had just looked up when a fruit hit her on the head. Angrily, she tore off the culprit and took a bite. The flesh was crisp and sweet, like an apple.

"Those little fruits over there look like wild dates, let's go take a look!"

"it is good."

Xueyinzhou led her on a walk through the woods.

The silvery-white snake tail swayed gently on the grass, leaving a winding trail. He casually picked up a few supple vines, and his nimble fingers quickly wove them into a small basket, taking the fruit picked by the little female.

Before long, the basket was filled with fresh wild fruit.

A gentle night breeze made the moonlight even brighter.

Shen Tang felt that they had picked enough fruit, so she put the fruit basket into her spatial storage. "It's getting late, let's go back."

Xue Yinzhou stood still.

He gently placed her back on the ground, looked down at her face, and lightly traced her lips with his fingertips.

Shen Tang's heart raced and her cheeks flushed under his gaze. "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

The young female was completely unaware that her lips were stained with bright red berry juice, making her already beautiful lips appear even fuller and redder, and exuding a sweet fragrance.

Xue Yinzhou's heartstrings were slightly touched, and he lowered his head to gently lick her lips.

His cool lips and tongue savored the sweetness of her lips, and his slender forked tongue slipped into her tender lips, greedily absorbing the sweetness from her mouth.

Shen Tang could barely breathe, her body gradually went limp, and her hands unconsciously wrapped around his slender neck.

Sensing the female's receptiveness, the man became even more excited. He took out bedding from his spatial storage and spread it on the ground, gently laying her down on the soft, cloud-like fabric. The next second, his silver-white snake tail transformed into long, slender legs, forcefully squeezing between her thighs.

Sensing his burgeoning passion, Shen Tang's face flushed instantly, too shy to lower her head. Even though they were an old married couple, she still felt shy during intimate moments…

My heart was filled with both anticipation and a touch of trepidation.

Absolutely! The serpent beast is exceptionally gifted!

This is absolutely abnormal!

Even though Xue Yinzhou would always pity her and that mating in human form wouldn't last long, each time they were intimate, she was still exhausted.

Scattered clothes lay on the grass.

Xue Yinzhou's hand caressed the woman's slender waist. Noticing her tension, he gently kneaded the soft flesh around her waist, his cool voice carrying a seductive tone, "Be good, relax."

"Hmm~"

Shen Tang's eyes gradually became hazy, and the twinkling stars in the night sky gradually blurred. It was as if she saw dazzling fireworks blooming in front of her, or as if countless shooting stars streaked across the sky.

The man's breathing grew heavier and heavier in her ears.

He bent her legs and placed them on his shoulders, slowly lowered his body, and kissed her lips.

One big mouthful, one small mouthful.

Slowly devour her.

A gentle breeze rustled through the leaves in the woods, occasionally punctuated by the chirping of insects and birds, blending with the lingering, ambiguous sounds to compose a moving nocturne...

This precious night, meant only for the two of them, was one they didn't want to be disturbed by anyone else.

The two didn't return until the next morning.

Shen Tang yawned repeatedly, her eyelids so heavy she seemed ready to fall asleep at any moment. Xue Yinzhou, on the other hand, looked completely satisfied, radiating a joyful aura. He carefully held the drowsy female in his arms, making sure she was wrapped tightly in his coat in the heavy morning dew, afraid she might catch a cold.

Xiao Jin saw this from afar and was so angry he gritted his teeth.

This snake dares to talk about others; isn't it just as bad itself?
The inherent weaknesses of male masculinity!
Lu Xiao was used to it and didn't say anything. He simply instructed the kitchen to prepare a meal so that they could rest after they finished eating.

These days, Ah Lian has been living in the palace and has been behaving herself.

He was gentle and polite, and often took the initiative to help others. He quickly became friends with the palace guards, and everyone liked the young man.

"Grandma Lan, let me help you sweep the floor." Ah Lian took the broom from an elderly woman.

Although most of the servants in the palace were male, the monarch was, after all, a noble woman, and it was not convenient for males to do some of the work. Therefore, the palace would also employ some older female nannies, who were mainly responsible for daily personal service.

The old woman liked this sensible and diligent boy very much, and often chatted with him in her spare time.

Ah Lian asked casually, "Grandma Lan must have been in the palace for many years, right? She must have served His Majesty for a long time."

Grandma Lan said proudly, "I've been in the palace for almost twenty years! I served the late Empress, and after His Majesty ascended the throne, I came to serve him. You could say I watched His Majesty grow up from a princess to a monarch..."

From the old woman's story, Ah Lian heard many of His Majesty's past experiences and couldn't help but sigh, "His Majesty's journey has truly been difficult."

"Yes, who would have thought that an adopted daughter who was exiled back then could reach this position today? The journey has been so full of hardships."

While feeling sentimental, Ah Lian also had some doubts. "It's strange, really. When His Majesty and that princess were born, they were switched at birth by the hospital. Looking back now, it's such a huge joke."

Even the old nannies in the palace felt that the incident back then was quite strange, but life is full of coincidences. "His Majesty and the late princess were both cats, and the newborn kittens looked very similar, so it is understandable that they were switched at birth."

"Your Majesty and the late princess look very alike?"

"Yes, you haven't seen it before, it's exactly the same."

Ah Lian asked curiously, "What does His Majesty's true form look like?"

"It's a small black and white female cat. It was very cute when it was a kitten, but His Majesty seems to be a little troubled by its appearance and rarely reveals its true form in front of people."

The boy paused, then asked softly, "Do you have a photo?"

"We wouldn't dare to take pictures secretly; we've only seen it a few times by chance."

"Could you tell me in detail what His Majesty's true form looks like?"

The old nanny didn't shy away from the topic and described it in detail: "Although His Majesty is a rare black and white cat, he is quite different from ordinary black and white cats. He looks particularly unique and cute."

"Half of her body was black, and the other half was white... I don't remember the other details very well, I'm getting old and my memory isn't what it used to be... But I remember that Her Majesty's tail was pure white! It was fluffy like snow, so adorable!"

The old woman suddenly slapped her forehead as she spoke, "Oh dear, I was so busy chatting that I almost forgot I had things to do. I'll be going now."

After she left, the boy stood alone in the same spot, his aura suddenly becoming calm and eerie, a faint red glint flashing in his eyes.

He stared blankly in a certain direction.

If someone were to follow his gaze, they would surely recognize that it was the location of the emperor's bedroom.

The boy slowly closed his eyes, his voice no longer gentle and weak, but instead revealed a hint of deepness and eeriness.

He whispered softly,
"Little Cuihua... Shen Tang... what is the truth behind all of this?"

In the past six months, Fu Teng has worked diligently for the empire, and at least half of the credit for the rapid spread of the Purification Tree across various regions and countries is due to him.

Shen Tang gradually relaxed her vigilance towards him, granting him a certain degree of freedom and allowing him to travel freely to and from the capital without having to stay in the polluted area for an extended period.

He had originally planned to see Shen Tang on his way back to the palace, but he encountered a stranger on the way.

At first, they thought he was just a newly arrived servant in the palace and didn't pay any attention to him.

Unexpectedly, the man called out to him, his voice smiling, "Long time no see, Fu Teng."

That greeting was casual and understated, like a casual exchange of pleasantries on the street.

But the chilling aura emanating from him sent a shiver down Fu Teng's spine, making his whole body stiffen. He abruptly turned his head to look at the boy who was waving at him.

The boy had gray hair, a plain and ordinary face, but an unusually pale complexion and a thin build, as if he had been suffering from a long illness.

Only those eyes were black as an abyss, and at the end of that abyss, there seemed to be a flash of scarlet.

“You…you are…” Fu Teng’s breath caught in his throat. A long-lost fear gripped him, almost making him turn and run away.

A blood mark suddenly appeared between the boy's brows. Immediately afterward, countless blood-red threads emerged from the void, fiercely wrapping around the body of the binding vine, firmly embedding the blood mark into his body.

The young man approached unhurriedly, his voice languid and arrogant.
"Do you think you can escape forever, even if you can escape for a while?"

"It's ridiculous."

"You are ultimately my defeated foe, my captive."

That tone—it was none other than Necro!
Fu Teng was greatly shocked. How did he find this place?!

Necro was equally puzzled: Why would Futeng appear in the palace of the Night Glow Empire?

Images flashed through his mind: the foreign female who had fled with Fu Teng, and Xue Yinzhou and his group who came to his rescue...

"Now, I have a few questions for you."

Necro's voice turned somber.
“You answered truthfully.”
