A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 60 Fear
The white lizards and their group had ashen faces and growled angrily.

"Xue Yinzhou, what are you trying to do? She's a serious criminal; what you're doing is protecting a criminal!"

"The city lord personally ordered the arrest of this wicked woman for harboring a fugitive; she will be punished the same way!"

"If you don't release them, don't blame us for being impolite!"

Everyone pulled out their guns and fired at the tree.

An invisible black mist formed a barrier, completely blocking the attack.

Ignoring the group of furious orcs below, Xue Yinzhou leaned lazily against a tree, his clear, moonlit silver-purple eyes narrowed as he leisurely enjoyed Shen Tang's disheveled appearance.

His clothes were torn to shreds, and his hair was a mess, like a bird's nest.

She was already ugly, and now she looks even more like a beggar living on the streets.

However, no beggar could be as fat as her.

He curled his thin lips into a cold, mocking smile, "We've only been gone a day, and you've already made yourself look so disheveled. Shen Tang, you really know how to stir up trouble."

Shen Tang ignored his sarcastic remarks. She took off the damaged snake skin from her body and held it like a precious treasure, feeling extremely distressed.

Such a useful self-defense item is now broken; she has no way of taking another one from that stinky snake.

Xue Yinzhou noticed the sadness in her eyes, frowned, and glanced at the tattered snake skin in her hand.

"..."

For a fleeting moment, he realized that Shen Tang really liked his shed snake skin.

But he knew all too well that this fat woman loathed snakes and beasts. More than once, during his most vulnerable period of transformation in his youth, she insulted and beat him, ignoring his pleas and cries, and declared that his snake molt was utterly disgusting, and sent people to burn it all.

Xue Yinzhou was terrified of this eccentric princess back then, but he couldn't resist and could only endure being beaten and scolded. Later, every time he was close to his molting period, he would secretly run to a corner where no one knew him, and come back after he had molted. This was how he secretly preserved the snake skin that followed.

Now, this fat woman, in order to save her life, has wrapped herself in the most disgusting snake molts, which is truly laughable.

Shen Tang was unaware of Xue Yinzhou's thoughts. Suddenly, she sensed that the man beside her had become cold and frightening. The icy snake tail that was wrapped around her waist suddenly swung downwards, and she was thrown upside down and suspended in mid-air.

The black fog barrier has been withdrawn.

Her terrified gaze met the pursuers above and below.

A man's cold, mocking voice slowly rose from above.
"You want her? Okay, you'd better pick the right one."

The group of white lizards had different expressions, not keeping up with the plot. They originally thought that Xue Yinzhou was in cahoots with this fat woman and wanted to oppose them, but it turned out that he was deliberately humiliating and insulting her, which made them breathe a sigh of relief.

Shen Tang's expression changed drastically; this bastard was trying to harm her again!
Just as the snake's tail was about to loosen its grip, Shen Tang's adrenaline surged. She grabbed the thick, long snake tail tightly, her fat body pressed against the cold, hard scales. The snake tail in her arms suddenly stiffened, as if it wanted to throw her away.

Xue Yinzhou's forehead veins bulged, and his face was so dark it seemed to drip ink. "Get out of my way!"

"I won't let go! You're my beastly husband, you have to protect me!"

You think you can get rid of her? No way!

Shen Tang knew her behavior was shameless, but since this snake wanted to kill her, she couldn't care less about saving face.

Shen Tang's face turned purplish-blue, and he was almost suffering a concussion from being shaken so badly. He used all his strength to hold on to the snake's tail and refused to let go, no matter how furiously the snake shook him, he couldn't shake it off.

Xue Yinzhou's aura was icy and terrifying. Even the White Lizard and his group felt an instinctive fear and retreated. In the blink of an eye, the two people in the tree disappeared without a trace.

"No, chase!"

On the other side of the hill, the river flowed swiftly along the mountain stream. "Bang!" Water splashed everywhere.

Xue Yinzhou flicked the snake's tail into the rushing river, a cold and sinister smile flashing across his handsome face. "Shen Tang, are you tired of pretending these past few days? You even managed to fool Shen Li and the others. Let me help you wash your face properly so I can see just how disgusting you really are!"

Caught off guard, Shen Tang was forced to swallow a mouthful of icy river water. The suffocating pain made her face flush red. Slowly, her body lost strength and released the snake's tail, drifting further and further away with the direction of the river.

Xue Yinzhou showed no pity whatsoever, as if he had just thrown away a piece of disgusting garbage.

These days, Shen Tang's temperament has changed drastically. She is gentle and diligent, as if she has become a different person. However, Xue Yinzhou does not believe that this ugly and hypocritical female can change her ways.

This isn't the first time she's deliberately feigned gentleness and kindness to gain their trust. This time, she's just putting on an even better act, waiting to pounce on them and drain their blood once they lower their guard.

He wanted to expose her hypocritical facade.

Xue Yinzhou's face was cold and gloomy. He let out a mocking laugh, turned around and took two steps, but no female curses came from behind him.

He stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the riverbank, but the female was nowhere to be seen.

Could it have been swept downstream by the current?

Impossible. That female can swim; this little bit of river water wouldn't drown her at all.

What he didn't know was that Shen Tang, who had transmigrated, was a complete landlubber.

"Help...help me..."

Shen Tang was thrashing about in the river, his mouth and nose filled with icy water, and he could barely breathe.

A red figure suddenly appeared, enveloped in a familiar, alluring fragrance.

"Xiao Tang? What are you doing here? And you fell into the water?"

Shen Li was hunting mutants nearby when he suddenly heard cries for help not far away. The cries sounded very familiar, so he rushed over and found Shen Tang drowning. He quickly pulled her out of the river.

Shen Tang was soaked to the bone, lying on the ground vomiting water, her face as pale as a ghost, trembling and curled up with her legs drawn up to her chest, her face full of fear.

Shen Li thought she was too cold, so he quickly lit a campfire to warm her up.

But she was still trembling all over, as if she had been frightened by something.

Could it be that we've encountered a mutant?
Also, it's hunting season now, how come she's here?

Shen Li's eyes were full of affection and doubt, knowing that now was not the right time to ask.

He took off his coat and draped it over Shen Tang, forgetting how much he used to hate this female. He squatted down on the ground, held the trembling Shen Tang in his arms, and gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your brother is here."

Water was still dripping from her wet hair. A faint red light emanated from Shen Li's palm as he helped dry her hair and soaked clothes.

The biting cold and dampness transformed into a warm force, and Shen Tang's face finally wasn't so pale anymore. Her eyes regained focus, and she looked at Shen Li, who was gently coaxing her. She pursed her lips and shed two tears.

At this moment, the confusion, panic, fear, and anger buried deep within her heart broke through the critical point.

She burst into tears.

Grass.

Did she blow up the galaxy in her past life? Why is God treating her like this?
Shen Tang hugged Shen Li and cried uncontrollably.

Xue Yinzhou appeared not far away, looking at the female who was crying with her head in her hands. He was slightly stunned and suddenly didn't know whether he should go over.
