A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 633 I Want to Kiss Her

The corpses of the ape tribe beastmen instantly froze into ice sculptures, then shattered with a "crack," turning into a shower of ice powder, leaving not a trace of remains.

Shen Tang turned to look at Yue Lin, "Will the young master be able to explain this when he goes back?"

Yue Lin sneered, full of disdain, "A mere Spirit Ape Clan is not worth my attention."

Although the Spirit Ape Clan was a powerful and influential family, they were ultimately nothing more than vassals of the Moon Wolf Clan. They were inherently wicked, and their current predicament was entirely their own doing.

Even if they harbor resentment and want revenge, they should first consider whether they have the ability to do so!

The remaining orcs in the group were all Yue Lin's subordinates, and naturally dared not say a word about their young master's decision. They all felt that the spirit apes deserved what they got.

Of all people to scheme against, why did they have to scheme against the young master? Isn't that just courting death?

Furthermore, the riots inside the restricted area are becoming increasingly serious.

Large areas near the abyss are constantly collapsing, and the cracks in the ground are becoming more and more numerous and larger, like giant mouths that are ready to devour people. They open and close with the ground shaking, and if you fall in, you won't be able to get back up.

At this rate, this place probably won't last long before it's completely reduced to ruins.

Yue Lin's voice was icy cold, "Stop fighting, just retreat!"

All the mutated beasts lurking in the restricted area rushed out and charged at the remaining small team like madmen.

While dodging the constantly collapsing ground, Yue Lin and his companions also had to deal with the fierce attacks of the mutated species. They were stretched thin, and even with a beastman of the Yuan Beast level in the team, it would be extremely difficult to escape unscathed.

"Yin Luo, is the teleportation array ready yet?" someone in the team called out anxiously.

After several fierce battles, everyone was in poor condition, almost all of them were injured, and one seriously injured person had completely lost his fighting ability. The one being questioned was Yin Luo, the brown lop-eared rabbit female orc in charge of spatial teleportation.

Yin Luo has short brown hair and a slender, petite figure, looking like a handsome, underage boy. She comes from a commoner background, but has awakened a rare spatial teleportation ability. Although she is only at the ninth level, she was still exceptionally recruited into the team.

She was also injured at this moment, her voice trembling with nervousness, and even the supernatural power in her hands began to falter, unable to form a complete magic circle. "I'm sorry... give me... give me a little more time..."

This was also her first time entering an S-class restricted area, and the scene before her almost terrified her.

Her injuries worsened, and her powers rapidly diminished; she was now barely holding on by sheer willpower.

Shen Tang quickly walked over, took Yin Luo's hand, and transferred her healing power to her, rapidly healing her wounds.

Yin Luo felt a gentle energy surge through his body, the pain quickly subsided, and his power gathered, gradually making the teleportation array in front of him clear and distinct.

She looked at Shen Tang in surprise, her cheeks slightly flushed, and whispered, "...Thank you."

Yin Luo was timid and cowardly. When those people bullied Shen Tang, although she felt angry, she didn't dare to stand up and stop them, becoming a silent bystander like everyone else. Therefore, she always felt guilty towards Shen Tang, never expecting that the other party would take the initiative to help her.

"Don't mention it, keep going, we're all counting on you now." Shen Tang smiled at her, and after healing Yin Luo's injuries, she quickly treated the other orcs in the team.

The orcs in the group originally thought that Shen Tang got in through connections because of her beauty, which was why Yue Lin treated her differently. They looked down on her to some extent, so they didn't stop Sun Jing's malicious schemes at first. But they didn't expect that she really had healing abilities and helped them without holding a grudge.

For a moment, they were all filled with shame and dared not even meet her gaze.

Shen Tang didn't mind. She was just a temporary member of the team and had only done what she could.

Finally, Yin Luo successfully set up the teleportation array, teleporting everyone directly to the shelter closest to the purification zone.

The shelter is thousands of miles away from the S-class restricted area and has not been affected, so it is relatively safe for the time being.

The team reassessed the danger level of this restricted area; the energy fluctuations there even exceeded those of a normal S-level restricted area.

The squad suffered considerable losses this time, and Yue Lin ordered them to rest overnight at the shelter before setting off back to the royal city the next day.

After dinner, Shen Tang had just returned to her room when Yin Luo came over and handed her a rabbit-shaped token. "Afu, thank you for your help this time... and also apologize for our previous prejudice against you! This is a small token of my appreciation, please accept it!"

There were sixteen orcs in the team, only two of whom were female: Sun Jing and Yin Luo. Yin Luo had previously been prejudiced against Shen Tang and hadn't spoken to her much. After this experience, she was genuinely grateful to Shen Tang and wanted to be her friend.

Capable people tend to appreciate each other, and being female adds to that sense of shared identity.

Shen Tang readily accepted it, "No need to be polite, I really like this gift... Hmm, I can feel energy fluctuations on it, did you also infuse a trace of your own supernatural power into it?"

Yin Luo's rabbit ears trembled slightly as she said shyly, "Yes, this is a teleportation token containing a wisp of my sealed supernatural power. It can be used ten times in total."

"As long as the token is activated, random teleportation can be initiated at any time, and you can also specify the location to be teleported to."

“You can set a mark at a fixed location or on a living person,” Yin Luo added. “You can also bring companions with you when you teleport, but each additional person you bring will consume one more use.”

Shen Tang's eyes lit up; this was exactly what she needed right now!

The system's teleportation function cannot be used casually, so this token is a godsend.

Shen Tang happily reciprocated by giving Yin Luo some gifts.

Although she didn't have any rare treasures, food and medical supplies were the most precious things here, almost like hard currency.

The two chatted for a while longer, and seeing that it was getting late, Yin Luo decided not to disturb them any longer and got up to leave.

As soon as she stepped outside, Yin Luo bumped into the silver-haired man walking towards her.

Yin Luo paused for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Captain, are you here to see Afu?"

Yue Lin hadn't expected to run into a teammate. She coughed lightly, her face still calm, and simply nodded indifferently, "Yes, I need to talk to her about something. Is she asleep?"

"Not yet~ I just came out of her room."

"Okay, you go ahead and do your work, I'll go check on her."

As Yin Luo watched the captain walk into the room, a scream practically went off in her head, her gossip-loving soul burning brightly!

What's happening here! ?

She'd been by the young master's side for two or three years, and this was the first time she'd ever seen him actively approach a female! Could it be that the young master really liked Xun Fu?

Unfortunately, the team is all male, and there's not even anyone to gossip with!

……

The knocking sounded at the same time as the man's deep, clear voice.
"Xiao Fu."

Shen Tang put away the token. "Captain, please come in."

Yue Lin pushed open the door and entered, his gaze falling on her, a flicker of emotion passing through his eyes.

She looked like she had just taken a bath; her long, black hair was still wet and draped over her back. She had changed into a loose-fitting long dress and exuded a faint fragrance. She was no longer the disheveled woman she was during the battle, nor did she look like a dirty little beggar as she did when they first met.

Her skin was as white as a handful of fresh snow on a mountaintop, her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, her face was exquisitely beautiful, her nose was straight and high, her lips were bright red, and her dark eyes were exceptionally moist and charming.

The female tilted her head slightly, her thick, curled eyelashes fluttering gently, as if curious about why he had suddenly come over.

Looking at the young and beautiful figure before him, Yue Lin felt his heart beat faster for no reason, and his body felt faintly hot. His hands, hanging at his sides, clenched unconsciously, making him feel somewhat at a loss.

Having lived for over twenty years, this was the first time he had ever felt this way.

"I...I just came to see you...How are you? Are you alright?" Yue Lin touched the back of his neck. This noble young master of the Moon Wolf Clan, at this moment, resembled a lovesick young man. "Back then at the bottom of the cliff, you were so badly injured, I thought you..."

He even prepared for the worst.

A frail female falling into an abyss is almost a death sentence, yet he jumped without hesitation, not even knowing why.

But many things in this world don't need a reason.

Just like...

Yue Lin gazed intently at the female before him, the tips of her ears turning slightly red.

Fate is truly wondrous.

The two met by chance, then unexpectedly reunited, and she even joined his team, and then they went through so much...

He seemed to be interested.

Shen Tang didn't notice the man's subtle thoughts, and just smiled smugly, "Thank you for your concern, Captain. Don't forget, I have healing abilities, I'm fine now! But I really have to thank you for coming to save me, otherwise I'm afraid I really wouldn't have made it up here."

"Well, since you're my team member, ensuring your safety is also my responsibility," Yue Lin said in a businesslike tone. He actually wanted to say something else, but didn't know how to start.

He realized that he didn't know much about Xun Fu, and didn't even know why she went to the S-class restricted area in the first place.

He had no experience in flirting with women, and was somewhat reserved when he was alone with her.

Damn it, he's the young master of the Moon Clan, what kind of females hasn't he seen? Why can't he say anything at a time like this?

Shen Tang initially thought Yue Lin had something important to discuss with her, but he stood there without saying a word, and his expression seemed somewhat unnatural, which made her a little puzzled.

The air fell silent for a few seconds, creating an awkward silence.

Shen Tang pulled up a chair and broke the silence. "Captain, please sit down. Did you come to see me tonight because you have something else to say?"

Yue Lin stared at her for a long while before asking in a low voice, "Why...why did you go to the S-class restricted area back then?"

On the way, he thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

Shen Tang's strength was indeed beyond his expectations. She was not a weak female, but her abilities were not outstanding either. Going to the S-level restricted area alone was too risky.

Without a compelling reason, he would find it hard to understand why she would go to such a dangerous place.

Shen Tang said, "To earn points."

"To earn points?" Yue Lin was somewhat surprised, seemingly not expecting such a simple reason.

Ordinary females also need points to improve their lives, but compared to males, they actually have an easier path.

Especially for a young and beautiful female like her, instead of risking her life to earn points, she could completely strengthen her male through a contract, or even use her looks and fertility to get to know noble males and achieve upward social mobility.

Yue Lin didn't want to deny her efforts, nor did he say anything offensive. He only felt that Xun Fu was so different from others, which made him appreciate her even more.

"Besides earning points, what are your plans for the future?" Yue Lin asked again.

Shen Tang nodded. "I want to find someone."

"Family? Or friends? I can help if needed."

"Thank you, Captain~" Shen Tang smiled gratefully, but Yue Lin vaguely sensed that the female did not seem as happy as she appeared, as if she was shrouded in a faint sense of loss and sadness.

When did it start?

He thought back and realized that ever since she came back from the abyss, she seemed somewhat lost and disoriented, as if she was thinking about something sad.

Yue Lin assumed she was just frightened, pursed her lips, and awkwardly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you from now on and I will never let you encounter such danger again."

Shen Tang's heart stirred slightly as she stared blankly at the handsome wolf youth before her. He looked so much like the person in her memory, yet the feeling was completely different.

So what about the man we saw at the bottom of the cliff, and Xiao Jin?
Shen Tang admitted that she was still too emotional.

Or rather, when a deceased loved one appears alive before your eyes, it's difficult for anyone to remain rational.

She couldn't remain as calm as she had been when she first met Yue.

At that moment, she almost lost the ability to think. Like a moth drawn to a flame, she rushed over without thinking, wanting only to hug him one more time, even if it might just be an illusion.

Now that she has calmed down, she has begun to think about more of the doubts.

Even if Yue Lin and Yun Han's situation was just a coincidence, the occurrence of a second similar event could never be explained by coincidence again.

Moreover, Shen Tang witnessed Xiao Jin's body self-destruct, with only one crystal core remaining, which was taken away by the laboratory.

She was still unsure whether the laboratory and the system were connected, but since the system could even revive her, it was theoretically possible for it to reshape Xiao Jin's body as well.

The laboratory can even tamper with memories and change a person's temperament.

Could the person she met in the abyss be Xiao Jin after his resurrection?
Or perhaps not?
Shen Tang's thoughts were in turmoil, and she felt a tightness in her chest, making it hard to breathe.

After all, Yue Lin has a complete growth trajectory that can be traced, so she can make a judgment. But the man in the abyss is clearly not one of them.

When Yue Lin saw Xun Fu looking up at her intently, her breath caught in her throat, her heart pounded faster and faster, and a tingling sensation spread from her chest throughout her body.

The two were very close, and Yue Lin could smell the fresh fragrance of her body after her bath, as well as her faint natural scent, which made him feel uneasy and his mind slowly went blank.

He looked down at her alluring red lips, his Adam's apple bobbing.

Dry mouth.

At that moment, he felt an urge to kiss her.

The man leaned down slightly, moving closer to her lips.

Shen Tang suddenly took a step back and avoided it.

The momentary tranquility was broken.

"...Captain?" Shen Tang looked at him somewhat awkwardly, a faint blush rising on her fair cheeks. She seemed to feel that the distance between them had been too close, and her expression was a little uncomfortable.

Yue Lin seemed to wake up suddenly, taking a step back to create distance. Her face flushed, she quickly changed the subject, "By the way, the reason I came tonight was to ask you, did you see anything strange down in the abyss?"

Shen Tang also remembered, "Captain, you mean the legendary monster sealed in the Abyss of Death?"

"Yes, we came here to investigate the true nature of that monster."

Shen Tang hesitated for a moment. She was unsure whether she should tell Yue Lin about Xiao Jin, but Yue Lin seemed to be honest and reliable, and she urgently needed to know Xiao Jin's whereabouts.

As the young master of the Moon Wolf Clan, he might be able to receive the news more quickly.

So she didn't hide it, "I did see that 'monster,' but he wasn't the legendary demon, nor was he a mutant; he was a living orc."

Yue Lin's expression changed drastically. Forgetting all sentimentality, he pressed on in a deep voice, "Continue. Did you identify his race? What are his distinguishing features?"

Shen Tang feigned difficulty recalling, then revealed a hint of fear, "If I'm not mistaken... that should be a black panther beastman! Its superpower is extremely powerful lightning, its body seems to be wrapped in dark golden patterns, and its eyes are also golden..."

Yue Lin's expression grew even more solemn as he muttered to himself, "So the rumors were true..."

"Captain, do you know who he is?"

Yue Lin nodded. "Yes, if I'm not mistaken, his name is 'Jin'."

"The mysteriously missing young master of the Hunting Leopard Clan, Hunting Ash."

Upon hearing the name, Shen Tang felt a sudden tremor in her heart, but she tried her best to remain calm and not show her emotions.

Yue Lin continued, "Actually, the reason I personally led this team out this time is to uncover a secret."

Before Shen Tang could ask, there was a knock on the door. "Captain, Xun Fu, are you there?"

Another orc from the team arrived, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Um, I didn't mean to bother you! I heard from Yin Luo that you were here, Captain, and I have something important to report."

Yue Lin looked at Shen Tang and said, "Then you rest first, I'm leaving."

"Okay, take care, Captain."

Curious about what urgent matter it was, Shen Tang waited until Yue Lin was out of sight before secretly opening the system map to eavesdrop on their conversation.

The monster that was in the S-level restricted area has escaped, and the Leopard Clan has dispatched a large number of experts to capture it.

Yue Lin and his group had come for this very reason, and they couldn't just stand by and do nothing, so they immediately decided to rush over to provide support.

Upon hearing this, Shen Tang immediately decided to follow suit.

Yue Lin couldn't refuse her, so he had no choice but to take her along.
