A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 600 Mind Reading (Bonus Chapter for Donations)

Unfortunately, what use would it be if they knew this secret? The mark is on their bodies, and this isn't some primitive beast world where people are barely clothed; how could it be seen when they're wearing clothes?

Besides, someone like Bi Yu would definitely be aware of the risks of exposing his mark, and would absolutely try every means to cover it up, so it wouldn't be so easy for anyone to discover it.

“No lie or disguise can be hidden in front of the ‘Eye of Insight’!” Tianxi casually plucked a hair, which instantly transformed into a magnificent feather.

It was a bluish-brown feather covered with golden patterns, which converged at the rounded end of the feather to form a lifelike "eye".

Those eyes were so lifelike, as if they were really watching you, leaving no place for your innermost secrets to hide, and making you feel uneasy.

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Tianxi laughed smugly, "Hehe~ This feather contains my original power, including a special ability called 'Eye of Peeping,' which can ignore disguises and see through the truth... I'll give it to you, sister-in-law, I think you'll definitely need it!"

Shen Tang found it amazing, "You've always had this ability?"

Tianxi shook her head, "No, that's not it. This ability is extremely rare and powerful. It was only awakened by me recently after my bloodline awakened and broke through to the tenth level. It should be the bloodline power from my father's side."

Tianxi is a hybrid of the Golden-feathered Roc and the Spirit Sparrow.

The Spirit Sparrow Clan is now a fallen ancient clan with few members and generally low strength, but Tianxi is clearly the lucky one with extremely high talent!

Before she truly awakened her "eye of insight," she had a vague feeling since childhood that she was different from others, and sometimes she could even hear other people's thoughts.

It is precisely because of this ability that she can get along well with anyone and always avoid danger.

Shen Tang was even more surprised after hearing this.

She remembered a particularly rare and precious superpower called "mind reading," and Tianxi's superpower should be similar. That's really amazing.

"Thank you, I really need it." Shen Tang accepted the feather.

"Sister-in-law, don't be so polite. We owe you a lot this time. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

Later, the topic shifted to the issue of succession.

The original rules of the competition stipulated that whoever successfully awakened their bloodline would become the heir.

Unexpectedly, both princes awakened and broke through to the tenth level. It was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune, completely exceeding everyone's expectations.

According to past practice, both Tianchen and Tianxi are excellent successors, but two tigers cannot share one mountain, so one must be chosen.

The Azure Sky King looked at the two children and suggested, "How about another match?"

Tianchen took the initiative to speak, "I concede, and the throne will be handed over to Third Sister."

The Azure Sky King asked in surprise, "Are you really willing to admit defeat? Aren't you going to fight anymore?"

Tianchen said nonchalantly, "I wanted to compete, but a loss is a loss! My third sister and I made a bet, and a bet is a bet. I can't bully her!"

The competition was one thing, but Tianchen also genuinely admired his younger sister.

He could see that Tianxi's talent surpassed his own, making her more suitable to be king.

He accepts this result!
The issue of succession was thus resolved smoothly.

The Azure Sky King officially drafted an edict, establishing the Third Princess, Tianxi, as the heir to the throne.

Tianxi invited Shen Tang to attend her investiture ceremony.

Shen Tang readily agreed.

That's settled then, but of course, some people are happy while others are sad.

Tianxi went to the master of ceremonies to prepare for the ceremony and bumped into someone rushing over.

"Xi'er."

Xingye tried to take her hand, but she dodged it.

Tianxi looked at the tall, handsome young man in front of her, pursed her lips, and said in a cold tone, "I told you not to come looking for me, why did you still come?"

In the past, Tianxi might have actually married Xingye, but now that she is the next King of the Azure Sky, it is impossible for her to marry into another clan, and the two are destined to have no future together.

They were destined to be apart, and their story ends here.

Xingye was very sad and wanted to say something, but couldn't bring himself to say it.

Tianxi just looked at him with disappointment, and in the end said nothing, turned around and left.

Xingye hesitated for a moment, clenched his fists, and followed after them.

……

Late at night.

The deep blue sky was dotted with stars, and the cool moonlight shone down.

The palace was built on a floating city-state, at a higher elevation, making even the moon appear larger and rounder, and the starry sky more dazzling. Shooting stars could be seen streaking across the sky from time to time, creating a scene of breathtaking beauty, like a painting. The night view here was stunning. Lu Xiao led Shen Tang to a pavilion, the highest point in the entire palace, offering the best view.

The two lay side by side on the rooftop, snuggling together and whispering sweet nothings. Even the most mundane things seemed peaceful and tranquil at this moment, allowing them to completely relax.

Shen Tang has been under constant stress these past few years, and she is really enjoying this rare moment of leisure.

The beautiful night sky, the cool evening breeze, and the gentle breathing and voice of her partner made her tense body gradually relax.

"Tangtang, if you're sleepy, lean against me and sleep," Lu Xiao said softly.

Shen Tang shifted her body, snuggled into his arms, closed her eyes, but couldn't fall asleep.

My mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts again, "...Do you think those agents will come back?"

“There shouldn’t be any major moves in the short term.” Lu Xiao gently combed through her long hair with his fingers, his voice like a cello playing softly in the night, melodious and deep. “We’ve fought them so many times, destroyed all their strongholds, and suffered countless casualties among the agents. Their internal strength is probably also severely weakened.”

Shen Tang pondered, "The Cloud Empire is an important battlefield. They must have committed all their remaining forces this time. The number of agents is limited, so they shouldn't launch a large-scale counterattack in the short term, but they can still send people through the Star Gate."

Lu Xiao nodded, "Yes, the key now is to find the location of the star gate. If we can completely destroy or seal the star gate, we can cut off the teleportation between the two sides."

Unfortunately, they still haven't found the Star Gate.

Shen Tang originally thought the Star Gate was likely in the sea, but Jia Lan had used the power of the temple and Jia Lou Luo to search for so long without finding it, so the Star Gate was probably hidden in a more secluded place.

Lu Xiao ruffled her hair. "Don't think too much. You need to rest. Even a monarch should take a vacation."

"Mmm!" Shen Tang put her worries aside, lay in his arms, and continued to enjoy this rare moment of leisure.

Lu Xiao lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "Go to sleep for a while. If you can't sleep, I'll tell you a story."

Shen Tang nodded lazily and gave a soft "hmm".

Lu Xiao then softened his voice as if coaxing a child, starting with a lullaby and continuing the story all the way to the modern history of the empire.

"..." Shen Tang's eyelids gradually grew heavy, and drowsiness crept into her body.

As the night wore on and the wind grew a bit chilly, Lu Xiao decided to take her back to the palace to rest.

On the way back, I happened to pass by a small grove of trees, from which I could faintly hear noises.

"Who goes there?" Shen Tang snapped out of her daze, thinking it was an assassin sneaking in, and immediately looked over.

The next second, her eyes widened, her face showing shock as if she had just heard a shocking piece of gossip.

Shen Tang swore she really didn't look on purpose; she just glanced at it out of curiosity. She could only blame it on her eyesight and hearing, which were too good after she entered the Yuan Beast stage. Even from hundreds of meters away, she could clearly see a man and a woman passionately kissing in the shadowy woods, getting into the mood.

Moreover, it was someone they knew!
Her face flushed red instantly.

The scene was so stimulating that she froze for a moment, forgetting to react.

Until everything went dark.

Lu Xiao reached out and covered her eyes, saying helplessly, "Don't look, it's not pretty."

You are not allowed to look or listen.

How could she look at other males...?

Lu Xiao was a sensible person and didn't intend to go over and disturb her. He put his arm around her and was about to leave.

Shen Tang grabbed his hand, glanced over there again, and whispered with a slightly flushed face, "That's your sister... I didn't expect Xingye to be with her..."

I thought they had broken up, but they're still entangled. I don't know whether to call it true love or a tragic fate!

Even without looking in that direction, she could still hear the suggestive sounds coming from time to time, which made her blush even more. She was both embarrassed and at a loss, yet the sounds stirred up a strange feeling in her heart.

Looking at the tall, handsome man in front of her, Shen Tang couldn't help but swallow hard, feeling as if a flame had been ignited in her heart.

Under the moonlight, Lu Xiao's bluish-gray eyes appeared even more profound. He remained calm and composed, as if he hadn't heard anything, but his voice was a little hoarse, "Third sister is an adult now, so let her do as she pleases. We don't need to interfere in such matters."

Shen Tang nodded awkwardly, "That's true, it wouldn't be good to go and disturb them at this time..."

She suddenly didn't know what to say, swallowed hard, and hesitated.

But the longing grew stronger and stronger. She looked up at him, her cheeks flushed, her watery eyes filled with shyness, "Ah Xiao..."

Lu Xiao took a deep breath, pulled her tightly into his arms, and breathed hot air into her ear, "Let's go back first..."

Before Shen Tang could respond, Lu Xiao had already picked her up and quickly returned to the palace.

As soon as they entered the room and closed the door, Lu Xiao pinned her against the wall and kissed her passionately!

"Ye Yuxin of Kalimnos Island" received an extra chapter as a reward from Baozi, and I will slowly add two more chapters later.

good night~
