A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 591 A Little Snake as Cute as You
The atmosphere on the scene suddenly became tense, and Xue Yinzhou took the initiative to attack Xiao Jin, and the two instantly started fighting.

Crackle, boom, boom!
The commotion was so great that it almost demolished the entire palace!

The orcs outside the palace were already used to this, and the clever ones had already taken the initiative to ask the repairman for help.

Shen Tang hurriedly wrapped a coat around her waist, her face still flushed. Looking at the shattered vases, overturned clothes racks, and smashed wardrobes scattered all over the floor, with several dents in the wall, she was on the verge of tears. "Stop! Stop fighting!"

Unfortunately, the males, who were in a state of high excitement, couldn't listen to her at all. They only had one thought in their minds: to defeat the other and win the right to mate with the female!
Seeing that she couldn't stop them, Shen Tang could only shout angrily and anxiously, "If you want to fight, go outside and fight! Don't fight in the palace!"

Fortunately, the two didn't fight for long before a winner was decided.

Xiao Jin was even faster, slashing his claws hard across the snake-beast, leaving several bloody wounds. But Xue Yinzhou was not to be outdone, biting down on his body, his sharp fangs instantly piercing through the flesh and injecting venom.

The poison spread rapidly, and Xiao Jin felt a blur before his eyes, his body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, only able to watch helplessly as Xue Yinzhou swept up Shen Tang and drove away.

"Ow—"

A short, mournful wail.

That damned serpent beast!
Next time, he definitely won't let him off the hook!
He will definitely take revenge!
Lu Xiao was handling official business at the Lu family residence when he heard the news of the incident in the palace, so he immediately rushed back.

As soon as he stepped into the palace courtyard, he smelled the lingering scent in the air, a sweet, cloying fragrance unique to females in heat. He paused slightly, his Adam's apple bobbing dryly, but his face remained as calm and composed as ever.

The black leopard lay listlessly in the yard, its tail languishing on the ground, looking dejected and aggrieved.

Looking at him again, he was covered in wounds, with two bloody teeth marks on his thighs particularly noticeable. The surrounding hair had fallen out, and the skin had turned black.

Lu Xiao could guess what had happened without even asking.

"My Tangtang, woof woof woof—"

The wailing was drawn out and sounded like the howling of ghosts and wolves.

He's almost dead, and he's still thinking about females.

Lu Xiao rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache, and ordered his men to take him to the hospital.

Although Xue Yinzhou showed mercy, the toxins remaining in the body are ultimately harmful, and the sooner they are treated, the faster the recovery will be.

……

As dusk settled, the crescent moon quietly climbed above the treetops, and the grey-blue sky was dotted with starlight. The only sounds in the silent forest were the wind and the chirping of insects. Xue Yinzhou brought Shen Tang to the outskirts of the city.

He has always preferred quiet and disliked being disturbed, especially wanting to find a secluded place where only he and Shen Tang are there.

Held in her arms, Shen Tang still looked back with concern, "Is Xiao Jin... alright?"

Xue Yinzhou said coldly, "He won't die from the poison."

He injected diluted snake venom. The elemental beastman wouldn't die so easily; at most, he'd be weak for a few days, so as to prevent him from causing trouble.

He pinched her chin, a little displeased, "You're not allowed to think about anyone else."

After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.

The man's lips were thin and cool, not hot or intense, but like fine jade, gradually absorbing her warmth, intertwining and dancing together.

Shen Tang quickly became immersed in this tenderness. When she came to her senses, Xue Yinzhou had already carried her into a clean and secluded cave.

The floor was covered with bedding and soft pillows.

He laid her down on him and pressed down on her.

An irrepressible desire surged within Shen Tang, and she lost all interest in thinking about anything else, so she took the initiative to cling to him.

The female's advances greatly satisfied Xue Yinzhou, and his initial jealousy and gloom vanished, leaving him in a cheerful mood.

His movements softened, gently licking her cheek and carefully attending to her feelings.

He liked Shen Tang during her heat cycle.

It wasn't just about desire; it was because only in these moments did he feel closest to her. Their intimacy and inseparable bond made him feel that she belonged entirely to him, bringing a satisfaction that transcended mere lust.

It was an indescribable joy that filled my body and soul.

Unfortunately, the females of other races were still too weak for the snake beasts to bear his prolonged affections. Xue Yinzhou usually had to restrain his desires so as not to make her uncomfortable. Only during her heat cycle could she fully accept him.

Although intermarriage among the various races of the beast world is commonplace, and a wider range of mates often means more and better choices, initially, most beastmen still preferred to marry within their own race because the two were more compatible and it was easier to reproduce.

Secondly, they will also choose orcs who, although not of the same race, belong to the same major category.

For example, Lu Xiao's parents were a falcon and a golden-feathered roc, both powerful and enormous feathered creatures. They had Lu Xiao in less than half a year after they got married.

Xue Yinzhou didn't care much about offspring, but he longed for a more harmonious intimacy with his partner and cared more about her feelings. He had thought that it would be better if Tangtang were a female snake, but nothing in this world is perfect. Having her was already the greatest fortune of his life.

Therefore, like Lu Xiao, Xue Yinzhou was usually rather indifferent to matters of the heart and indulged Xiao Jin to some extent. But when a female was in heat, that was a different story.

He wanted to possess her more during this short but precious time.

The fact that they didn't kill Xiao Jin directly was already a consideration for Shen Tang's feelings.

Otherwise, given the serpent beast's cold and ruthless nature, he would never be willing to share a mate with any male.

At this moment, the female was moist and tolerant, and he didn't even need to fully transform into human form to possess her so closely, letting out a long sigh of satisfaction.

Shen Tang hummed softly twice, then looked at him with her big, watery eyes. Xue Yinzhou chuckled softly, reached out and covered her eyes, then lowered his head and kissed her lips again.

The cave was unusually quiet for a moment, with only two intertwined breaths and a few ambiguous sounds. The tranquil moonlight gently shone in, and Shen Tang seemed a little uncomfortable, perhaps because a pebble under the blanket was pressing against her, and she hummed softly twice.

Xue Yinzhou then rolled over and let her lie on top of him, gently stroking her hair. "Would this feel better?"

He wasn't impatient, perhaps due to the characteristics of his serpentine race. Shen Tang actually quite enjoyed doing this with him. Looking at the handsome, aloof man beneath her, she suddenly felt a tingling sensation and slowly regained control.

Xue Yinzhou showed a somewhat surprised expression.

Soon, he narrowed his eyes, his slender fingers running through her hair, gently combing it.

The female was unexpectedly enthusiastic and proactive.

He found it intriguing, so he stopped moving and let her explore little by little.

He simply placed his hand on her waist and gradually increased the pressure.

Shortly after, Shen Tang let out a muffled groan and lost her strength.

Xue Yinzhou then flipped over again, pinning her down beneath him.

Shen Tang was like a floating duckweed, rising and falling with the wind and waves.

Xue Yinzhou would kiss her gently each time.

As dawn breaks outside the cave, the sky changes from dark to light, then back to dark, in a continuous cycle.

After a long while, the commotion inside the cave gradually subsided. Xue Yinzhou, out of pity for her health and fearing she might go hungry, deliberately left midway to hunt down a plump wild beast.

After a satisfying meal, Shen Tang nestled contentedly against him, reflecting on the intimacy of the past few days. She felt a bittersweet mix of sweetness and absurdity, but undeniably, she was utterly satisfied, both physically and emotionally.
She gave him a light kiss on the lips.

This seemingly unconscious gesture brought a smile to the snake beast's cool and handsome face. He touched her round belly, his eyes becoming deep.

Shen Tang's mind cleared up a bit, and suddenly she thought of something and exclaimed, "Could it be that I..."

Xue Yinzhou knew what she was worried about and said firmly, "Don't be afraid, it won't happen."

Shen Tang wrapped her arms around his neck, looked at him curiously, and pouted her rosy lips slightly, "How can you be so sure?"

He didn't seem very happy?
Don't males in the beast world especially love children? Even if she really is pregnant, I don't think he would be very happy.

Shen Tang had a deep bond with her beast husbands and had considered having children. To be honest, she didn't dislike cubs, but she wasn't ready yet. Besides, she had more important things to do right now, so she didn't have the time or inclination to think about these things.

Sigh, you really can't just go for the momentary pleasure; you'll regret it once you sober up!

However, she had been with her beast husbands for two or three years, and she really couldn't keep avoiding the issue.

Xue Yinzhou comforted her, "I took the medicine, you won't get pregnant."

"Huh?" Shen Tang's eyes widened in shock. "Why didn't any of you tell me? Where did this medicine come from?"

“Lu Xiao gave it to me. Sometimes he would put it in my food, but when you are in heat, I will ask him for it.”

Shen Tang froze, too shocked to speak.

Lu Xiao...

He's really hiding his true abilities!
Is this a beast-world version of Yixiu?!
They actually keep something like this on hand?!
No wonder she hadn't used the system for contraception, only trying to avoid her estrus period. Sometimes when the urge came, she couldn't care less, and nothing would happen. She thought it was a physical issue, but it turns out they'd been planning this all along!

There are no officially produced drugs like this in the Beast World; most of them come from illegal pharmaceutical companies and the black market. Shen Tang was worried that the drugs would have a negative impact on their health, so he didn't allow them to take them.

Male beastmen value their abilities highly, but Xue Yinzhou doesn't seem to care. She probably only takes it during her heat cycle, so the effect shouldn't be significant.

In fact, Shen Tang's thinking was too simplistic. Xue Yinzhou didn't care at all whether he had offspring or not. The fact that his lineage would never go extinct meant nothing to him. He also didn't particularly like cubs. He couldn't imagine what it would feel like to be chased by a cub calling him "father beast." He probably would find it a bit annoying.

If she wants to have the baby, he's willing to; if she doesn't, then he won't.

However, he also does not want other males to have children with her.

If Shen Tang knew what he was thinking, she would probably find it both helpless and funny.

Having eaten and drunk its fill, the serpentine beast lazily transformed back into its true form and coiled around her. Its beautiful purple eyes gazed at her, its slender forked tongue gently licking her cheek, its gaze soft and tender.

Shen Tang felt a little breathless as the enormous snake head pressed against her chest, but she still indulgently refrained from pushing it away.

She used to be afraid of snakes, but now she finds him incredibly cute. She cupped the round snake head in her hands and gently kissed it. "Once things settle down, we won't need the medicine anymore. Maybe... we'll have a cute little white snake someday, just like you."

Xue Yinzhou's breath hitched, and even his forked tongue froze in mid-air, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Shen Tang looked at him with amusement. "What? You don't believe me? I've never said anything like that to anyone else."

Xue Yinzhou instantly transformed into human form and embraced her tightly. After a long silence, he softly replied, "Okay."

Whether she said it to make him happy or not, he was content.

For a male beastman, the deepest love confession from a female is, "I'll have your child." He never dared to hope that he would ever hear those words in his lifetime.

Or rather, before meeting her, he never imagined he would find love, let alone have children.

After all, aside from the females of their own tribe, very few females from other tribes would be interested in snake beasts. Yet Shen Tang had said she liked him more than once, and even took the initiative to say that she was willing to have a child with him in the future.

Even if it was just a half-joking promise, it was enough to make him happy.

He felt that the female loved him very much.

She also said she wanted to have a little white snake as cute as him.

Is he cute in her eyes?

Xue Yinzhou's face showed a rare hint of boyish shyness.

Seeing him like this, Shen Tang thought to herself how adorable he was. After all, she rarely saw this side of Xue Yinzhou, and couldn't help but give him another kiss. "Hehe, so cute~"

Xue Yinzhou's heart softened like spring water. He had never been good at sweet talk, nor was he as passionate and straightforward as that leopard. He only felt that being able to stay by her side for the rest of his life was the greatest happiness.

"Tangtang is the cutest." Xue Yinzhou's words sounded like a young man experiencing his first love describing his beloved female, carrying a touch of naivety, like "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

But the way he stared intently at her made Shen Tang's cheeks burn, and she felt that Xue Yinzhou was very different from usual at this moment.

Thinking about it carefully, Xue Yinzhou was hunted down since childhood, and was captured and sent to a slave farm when he was young. He served the original owner as a slave and was often beaten, scolded, and locked in a dark room...

His life before adulthood was probably bleak and colorless.

He had almost no "youth" to speak of; perhaps that period of his life was the one he hated most and most wanted to forget.

She couldn't help but imagine that if Xue Yinzhou had grown up like an ordinary beastman, perhaps he wouldn't have become so gloomy and indifferent, unable to establish normal emotional connections with anyone other than her, and always so out of place.

He should have a more fulfilling life.

Shen Tang looked at him and smiled gently. Fortunately, she would always be by his side from now on.

Looking at the female's bright smile, Xue Yinzhou's heart beat faster. He tightened his arms and pulled her closer to his chest, letting her lean against his chest.

He secretly thought to himself, what if...

If the two of them were to have a child in the future, he would actually prefer it to be a kitten.

Like her.

It must be very cute.

Thinking about it this way, the cubs aren't so bad after all.

[Congratulations, host! Xue Yinzhou's affection points have increased by 20!]

The system emitted a joyful announcement.

Shen Tang smiled gently. She knew that her beast husbands loved her very much, and that many times, abstract numbers didn't mean anything.

However, she still really wanted the system's rewards, so she opened the system interface and took a look at the current favorability ratings of the beastmen—

Xiao Jin: Deep Love 50
Shen Li: Deeply in love with 100
Jialan: Deeply in Love 99
Lu Xiao: Deeply in love with 45
Snow Hidden Boat: Deep Love 80】
