A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 6: Watching with cold eyes
Lu Xiao sent an orc to deliver fresh beast meat to Shen Tang's home.

She left the market and led the orc home.

Before I even reached my doorstep, a strong stench hit me.

Oh no! Shen Tang remembered that the garbage piled up at the door last night hadn't been cleaned up yet, and it had already attracted a lot of flies.

The male orc almost couldn't hold back his urge to vomit.

"Um, I have a mission, so I'll be going now..." He forced back his curses, made up an excuse, handed the meat to Shen Tang, and hurriedly left with a grim expression.

Shen Tang awkwardly dug her toes into the ground. She could almost imagine what people would say about her behind her back. Her reputation was already bad, and this was just making things worse—she was universally disliked!
She really didn't do it on purpose. There was just so much trash, and she didn't know what to do with it, so she could only leave it piled up at the entrance for the time being.

"Damn it, you fat bastard, are you out of your mind? Can you stop doing these disgusting things all day long! You pile up garbage here, how are we supposed to live... Ugh, it stinks!" A sharp female voice suddenly rang out.

Song Fang from next door came over with her beastly husbands, cursing and swearing.

Shen Tang knew this neighbor, Song Fang, who was a female wolf. Because her father had committed a crime, her whole family was exiled here, which was an undeserved misfortune.

Compared to the thugs in the city, Song Fang's personality was quite good, but because of the original owner's terrible temper, their relationship was always very tense.

Song Fang was on the verge of a breakdown. Last night, she vaguely smelled a stench while going to bed, and when she woke up this morning, she discovered that her fat neighbor had piled up garbage outside her yard. The two houses were only a few hundred meters apart, and the stench of the garbage had wafted into her home.

Song Fang had long heard of Shen Tang's reputation—an exiled princess, though weakened, was still formidable. She had no intention of clashing with her, and usually she could tolerate it, but today she simply couldn't take it anymore!

Song Fang rushed forward, leading three beastly men to block Shen Tang at the door. Her face was ashen, and she pointed at Shen Tang's nose, cursing, "Are you out of your mind? You've piled up garbage here, are you trying to suffocate our whole family?"

Shen Tang wished she could disappear into the ground. "I'm sorry, I really don't know how to deal with this trash... I didn't mean to."

Song Fang was stunned. She had used such foul language, and it was already a favor that this fat woman didn't fight her on the spot. Instead, she even apologized to her in a nice tone.

She frowned, looking at Shen Tang with a skeptical expression. "You don't know how to dispose of trash? Are you kidding me? You've lived here for so long, and you don't even have this much common sense?"

Shen Tang shook her head. "I...I really don't know. These things were always handled by others before. I've never been involved."

She was telling the truth. The original owner was a princess who never lifted a finger. In the past, these chores were handled by her beast husbands. But now, her beast husbands don't care about her anymore and leave her to fend for herself.

Song Fang rolled her eyes, her tone full of sarcasm, "Heh, as expected of a princess, even such a small thing requires others to serve you! Fine, let me tell you, submit an application using your personal terminal, spend 500 star coins, and someone will come to clean up the trash. Such a simple thing, you don't even know how to use a personal terminal?"

Shen Tang said awkwardly, "I...I really don't know how to use a quantum computer."

Song Fang was almost laughing in exasperation. She stared at Shen Tang for a few seconds, took out her personal computer, quickly operated it a few times, and then said impatiently, "Fine, I've already applied for it for you, and I've paid the money. I'm really fed up with you; you even have to have someone else clean up your mess for such a small thing."

Shen Tang looked up, her face full of apology and gratitude. "Thank you. I will pay you back."

Song Fang waved her hand, her tone still impatient, "Come on, it's just 500 star coins, I don't need that little bit of money. But you, don't do such stupid things again, I don't want to live with the smell of garbage every day."

Soon, a garbage truck slowly drove up, and several workers got out and quickly began cleaning up the garbage at the entrance. The stench gradually dissipated, and the air became much fresher.

Looking at Shen Tang, Song Fang felt a little puzzled. This fat woman was usually arrogant and domineering, but the Shen Tang she saw today was completely different from usual, which made her feel less disgusted.

"Did you take the wrong medicine today? Why are you being so obedient?" Song Fang couldn't help but ask, her tone tinged with inquiry.

Shen Tang twitched her lips. She couldn't very well say that this body had a different soul!
Shen Tang earnestly assured, "I was wrong before and caused a lot of trouble for everyone. I will be more careful in the future."

Song Fang frowned, her dislike for Shen Tang lessening slightly. She snorted and turned to walk back, muttering, "I hope you keep your word and don't cause any more trouble."

Watching Song Fang and the beastman's departing figures, Shen Tang breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that her reputation in this world was terrible, and it wouldn't be easy to change other people's opinions, but at least today was a small beginning.

"Gulu~"

Shen Tang felt hungry. She hadn't eaten since morning, so she quickly went to the kitchen to cook. She planned to study the quantum computer of this world properly after she finished eating.

The meat that Lu Xiao brought weighed twenty or thirty pounds, enough for her to eat for a week. Shen Tang wanted to lose weight, so she only cut off a small piece of meat for lunch today and put the rest of the meat in the refrigerator.

Let's make a pot of meat soup!
Unfortunately, she could only buy the most basic oil and salt at the market and couldn't find any other seasonings, but it was still better than eating it raw.

Shen Tang had just put the prepared meat into the boiling soup when steam rose from the pot, and thick white foam appeared on the surface.

She wiped her hands and was about to sit down to rest when there was a sudden, urgent knocking at the door.

She frowned. Who would come looking for her in broad daylight? The five beastly husbands avoided her like the plague. Could it be Song Fang from next door?

Shen Tang went over and opened the door.

The door had barely opened a crack when a powerful force burst through, nearly shoving her to the ground.

"Snapped!"

Before Shen Tang could react, she was slapped hard across the face.

A burning pain instantly spread from her cheek, and her face quickly became red and swollen, with a buzzing sound in her ears.

Standing outside the door was a pretty female, Shi Yin, the daughter of the sanctuary's city lord. She was dressed in a luxurious dress, but her brows were full of hostility, and her eyes revealed undisguised disgust and contempt.

Shi Yin was always arrogant and domineering, and she was extremely infatuated with Xiao Jin. Therefore, she hated Shen Tang to the core and opposed her at every turn. Behind Shi Yin were dozens of uniformed guards, holding stun guns and handcuffs, standing menacingly behind her as if they were ready to attack at any moment.

Shen Tang covered her face, her heart filled with panic, and she forced down her fear. "What...what are you going to do?"

"You still have the nerve to ask?!" Shi Yin sneered, her eyes filled with anger, and raised her hand to slap Shen Tang again.

Shen Tang instinctively tried to dodge, but was firmly held down by two tall and strong orcs, unable to move.

"Snapped!"

Another resounding slap landed on her face, the burning pain causing Shen Tang's vision to go black for a moment.

"You shameless wretch! How dare you drug Brother Xiao Jin! Why don't you just die!" Shi Yin's voice was sharp and piercing, filled with anger and jealousy.

Shen Tang's face was swollen beyond recognition, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth. She wanted to refute, but found that she couldn't speak at all, nor could she refute.

It's unclear who leaked the news, but the fact that the original owner drugged Xiao Jin became common knowledge and a laughing stock in the city.

Shi Yin was furious when she heard the news and immediately brought her people to cause a scene.

She looked at Shen Tang's swollen face, still not satisfied, and raised her hand to hit him again!
At this moment, a tall, handsome, gray-haired orc stepped forward, gently took Shi Yin's hand, and asked with concern, "Yin Yin, stop hitting, does your hand hurt?"

As he spoke, he even blew on Shi Yin's hand in a flattering manner, as if she were the one who had been wronged.

“Leave the dealing with this bastard to us, don’t dirty your hands,” another brown-haired male orc said obsequiously.

When their eyes swept over Shen Tang, they were filled with disgust. How could there be such an ugly and fat female in the world? Just looking at her made one want to vomit.

The commotion had already attracted a crowd of onlookers, who whispered among themselves, their expressions full of schadenfreude.

"Look, isn't this Shen Tang? Isn't he usually so arrogant? Why is he in such a sorry state today?" A middle-aged woman covered her mouth and laughed, her eyes full of sarcasm.

"Serves her right! Who told her to be so ungrateful as to provoke Miss Shi Yin? Doesn't she know her place now?" another orc sneered in agreement.

"Tsk tsk, your face is swollen like a pig's head, what a disgrace!"

A burst of laughter erupted from the crowd.

Shen Tang was furious and wanted to take revenge on the woman in front of her, but the two tall and strong orcs held her down and she couldn't move.

Shi Yin said smugly, "Guards, lock her up in jail! Treat her well!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the guards around her stepped forward, preparing to forcibly drag Shen Tang away.

Shen Tang struggled desperately, "Let me go!"

Hearing the commotion, Song Fang from next door came out and was terrified by what she saw. She shouted, "It's forbidden to harm females in the city, and it's even more forbidden to arbitrarily detain females because of personal grudges! What you're doing is illegal!"

"Ha, the city lord is my father, who dares to mess with me!"

How dare a lowly commoner come to judge her!

Shi Yin's lips curled into a cruel smile. Anyone who dared to lay a hand on the man she had her eye on, she would make Shen Tang wish he were dead!
Shen Tang was filled with fear, and her body trembled uncontrollably. She knew that once she was imprisoned, endless torture and humiliation awaited her.

Suddenly, a black mist swept in from afar, coiling around the two orcs who were pinning Shen Tang down like a venomous snake, before abruptly swatting them away.

Bang!
The two orcs crashed heavily to the ground, their faces turning an unnatural bluish-green, their lips turning purple and white, and blood flowing from their seven orifices.

Someone trembled as they stepped forward to check, only to find that the two orcs were already lifeless. They were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly, exclaiming, "They're dead!"

"Who?! Who's behind this?!"

Shi Yin's face turned pale instantly, and her voice trembled slightly.

She looked around, trying to find the source of the black mist, but found nothing.

The crowd instantly panicked. Passersby who had been watching the spectacle scattered in all directions, fearing they would also be affected by the eerie black mist.

Shen Tang was also startled by this sudden change. She caught a glimpse of a white shadow flashing by in the distance, and at the same time, the system's announcement came to her mind.
