A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 84 She's a philandering slut!

"Host, aren't you curious about what the mysterious grand prize is?" the system coaxed gently.

Shen Tang rolled her eyes. "Curiosity killed the cat, don't you know that? No amount of mysterious prizes is as important as my life. I refuse this mission!"

"Host, think it over some more. Anyway, there's no rush. It's only natural for the female master and her beast husband to do this kind of thing. Why not sleep with a top-tier handsome guy?" the system said anxiously.

Shen Tang's lips twitched slightly. It was true that she was lustful, but she wasn't stupid enough to court death.

She blocked the system's wailing.

"Little Tang'er, why is your face so red? Are you sick?" Shen Li asked gently.

"...It's nothing, I'm just a little tired from exhaustion, I'll go back and rest first!" Shen Tang remembered the absurd mission issued by the system, so she didn't dare to look them in the eye. She made up an excuse and fled back to her room.

Shen Li watched her fleeing figure, raised an eyebrow, turned to Xiao Jin and said with a playful smile, "Little Tang'er is acting a bit strange tonight."

"Heh, what's so strange about that? She just couldn't hold it in anymore, and her true nature was revealed. What a philandering slut!" Xiao Jin didn't believe that she hadn't sought treatment earlier or later, but instead chose to sneak into a male's room in the middle of the night.

Knowing her personality, she'd definitely try to take advantage of the situation!
Xiao Jin touched his lips, his eyes deep and unfathomable, a strange sense of unease rising within him.

He then sized up the mermaid with a sullen face. She wasn't much better looking than him, and her figure wasn't as good either. Why would this fat girl be interested in such a thin dog?

Seeing Xiao Jin staring intently at her, Jia Lan's face darkened. "Get out."

"You all get out of here!"

……

Meanwhile, the City Lord's Mansion has been quite unsettled these past few days.

Although City Lord Shi Ye agreed to let Shen Tang and her companions stay in the city, he was still very worried and sent people to secretly monitor her every move.

The guards had to report more than ten times a day.

"Reporting to the city lord, nothing happened today. The female was very well-behaved."

“Yesterday, the hunting party in the city encountered her two beastmen. Her beastmen are very strong and even helped us hunt several high-level prey.”

"Shen Tang went to the market this morning and bought three catties of Gugu chicken. After returning home, she stewed a pot of old hen soup."

“These days, she often feeds the stray cubs in the city... Her cooking is really good; the aroma can be smelled from three miles away.”

"At night, she would wrap chicken in broad leaves, then smear a lump of mud on the outside, and roast it over charcoal. I think it was called beggar's chicken. It smelled so good that my men's mouths were watering."

"She made garlic steak that day, it smelled so good."

"She made peppered meat soup for lunch."

"What she did at night was..."

The city lord's face darkened as he roared, "I sent you there to monitor her every move, not to recite menus to me!"

The guard swallowed hard, then said timidly, "But that's what she does all day long."

The city lord's face was grim, his brows furrowed. "Is that female so well-behaved? Didn't you notice any strange behavior from her?"

The guard shook his head. "She's very well-behaved. The only thing that surprised me was that she often fed stray animal cubs. And I checked, there was no poison in the soup or meat... Could it be that we're overthinking it?"

The city lord lowered his head in thought, remaining silent. Someone outside came to report, "Reporting to the city lord, Lord Shen Tang has arrived."

"What is she here for?"

The city lord frowned deeply, then relented and said, "Fine, let her in."

After entering the house, Shen Tang exchanged a few pleasantries with the city lord before getting straight to the point, "Thank you for your hospitality these past few days, city lord. I have a favor to ask of you. I would like to stay in the city for two more days. I can pay double the rent!"

Jia Lan had just recovered from serious injuries when he and Shen Li were attacked. They traveled day and night, barely catching their breath, and now they had to continue their journey. It was too much for them.

Shen Tang wanted to stay in the city for two more days.

If it were before, the city lord would have refused without a second thought, but this time, remembering what the guard had said, he hesitated.

After all, the other party had only made a trivial request, and if he refused even that, he would seem narrow-minded.

Just as he was hesitating, an orc outside urgently reported, "It's terrible, Lord! The lady's condition has worsened again. You must go and see her quickly!"

Upon hearing this, the city lord's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly left.

Shen Tang was surprised. She remembered that she had heard someone mention at the market a couple of days ago that the city lord's wife was frail and sickly and rarely went out. It seemed that her condition was more serious than the rumors suggested.

On a whim, she followed.

Shen Tang arrived at the room in the backyard and saw from afar a female lying on the bed, her face pale and sunken, critically ill, barely breathing.

The city lord, holding the female in his arms, was furious, his eyes red with anger, and he cursed, "You bunch of quacks! Did I pay you all to eat for free? You can't even cure this little illness!"

The doctors spoke with trepidation.

"I'm sorry, City Lord, but we are really limited in our abilities. The lady's illness is not caused by disease. She has congenital cancer, and no special medicine can help her."

The elderly doctor at the head of the group looked at the city lord with a sorrowful expression, but there was no hope in dragging this out, so he subtly reminded him to prepare for his funeral.

The city lord, a burly man, actually shed tears. "Could it be that Wan'er's fate is sealed, and there is no way to save her?"

The elderly doctor spoke with difficulty, "If you want to save the lady, there is another way: a healing orc is willing to help."

Upon hearing this, the city lord's face turned ashen, and he felt utterly dejected and powerless. Healing orcs were extremely rare in the empire, high above others, and difficult to hire even with a large sum of money. How could they possibly come to such a remote and dilapidated little town?
Upon hearing the witch doctor's words, Shen Tang's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward and said, "I can try to treat Madam."

The city lord frowned at her and angrily rebuked, "What are you doing here?"

His anger surged, and he suspected the female had ill intentions. He ordered the guards to throw her out.

Shen Tang quickly demonstrated her healing abilities, "I am also a healing-type beastman. If the city lord doesn't mind, you can let me give it a try!"

When the city lord saw the green light in her palm, his expression suddenly froze, his breathing became rapid, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

He only regained his senses when the frail female in his arms coughed twice.

The city lord looked at Shen Tang with a troubled expression, but he really had no other choice but to try anything as a last resort.

He warned in a deep voice, "If you dare to play any other tricks, I will make sure you never leave the city lord's mansion!"

Shen Tang sighed helplessly, "Don't worry, City Lord, I have already retired from this life and would never do anything to harm the beastmen in the city. I really only came here to express my gratitude, but I didn't expect to run into Madam's matter, so I wanted to lend a hand. City Lord, you don't need to be so wary of me."
