Chapter 9 Cheating
Shen Li then turned his gaze to Shen Tang's face. He hadn't looked at the woman in front of him properly in a long time, and only then did he notice that she had fewer pimples on her face. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but she seemed to have lost some weight.

He noticed that her cheeks were slightly red and swollen, and asked, "What happened to your face?"

Shen Tang thought he was asking about the pimples on her face, so she made up a reason, "I went to see a doctor in the city and bought some ointment, which is quite effective."

"No." Shen Li touched her face with his finger, and when he touched the swollen and red spot, Shen Tang hissed in pain. Her face was swollen like a steamed bun, making her look even uglier.

Shen Li resisted the urge to look away and asked calmly, "How was this done?"

The ointment Song Fang gave her worked quite well. After two or three hours, the redness and swelling on her face had subsided by more than half, but it was still faintly visible.

Not wanting to cause any more trouble, Shen Tang smiled casually and said, "It's nothing. I just accidentally fell this morning. It's just a common injury, and it'll be fine in a couple of days."

How could a wrestling match result in such a terrible state? Shen Li frowned in confusion, but didn't ask any further questions. Whether the female was alive or dead was none of his concern. He had never bothered to even glance at her before, let alone care about her injuries.

Thinking of this, his face darkened slightly. He must have been bewitched today. Why did he suddenly start caring about Shen Tang?

Although her acne had decreased and her skin had become fairer, making her less unsightly, she was still unattractive. In particular, her body was covered in fat, which piled up around her waist and caused her to wobble when she walked. Her two large breasts were almost hanging down to her waist, making her look like she wanted to chop them off with a knife.

Shen Tang suddenly felt a chill, as if she were being stared at by a wild beast. Shen Li's gaze swept over her, then looked away, and walked towards the cabinet next to her, saying with disdain as he went, "Eat less, or one day you'll be so fat you can't walk, and no one will carry you."

Shen Tang would never allow herself to become like that!
Shen Tang was afraid that this fox would drive her to her death, so she turned to leave.

But a cold rebuke came from behind:

"stop."

As soon as she turned around, Shen Li shoved a bottle of medicine into her hand.

"This is a top-grade military-grade wound medicine. Apply it for half an hour and the swelling will go down." He said indifferently, as if he were just giving it away casually.

Shen Tang glanced down and immediately recognized that this medicine was much better than the one Song Fang had given her.

She was about to thank him when she heard the man's disgusted voice again, "Your head is swollen like a pig's, and you're still wandering around. You're not ashamed, but I am."

"..."

Shen Tang gritted her teeth and cursed inwardly: Could this bastard man die if he talked less?

But considering how much these beastly men loathed her, she naturally couldn't say anything nice.

On her way to see Jialan, Shen Tang heard a system notification in her mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Male lead Shen Li's favorability has increased by 20!]

I never expected that the sly fox would actually increase my favorability towards him?

It seems he was won over by his own skills!

Shen Tang smiled broadly.

As long as she's attentive enough, I don't believe she can't get those five tough nuts to crack!

That said, Shen Tang hadn't met Jia Lan yet. This beast husband was a mermaid prince from the alliance between New Atlantis and the Nightfall Empire. The original owner of this body hadn't met him much, and she wasn't sure about his personality, but mermaids were such beautiful and pure creatures that they should be easy to get along with.

[Host, would you like to view the male lead Jia Lan's basic information?]

Shen Tang nodded. "Check it out."

Suddenly, a system light screen appeared before my eyes.

Jialan

Beast Transformation: Deep-Sea Mermaid (Royal Family)

Ability Level: Tier 6

Genetic evaluation: Grade S

Favorability: Dislike 90】How could the dislike value be so high?

Shen Tang was surprised and then pulled up the list of the five male leads' favorability ratings.

Xiao Jin, Darkened 60
Shen Li, dislikes 30
Jialan, dislikes the 90s
Snow Hidden Boat, Dislikes 99
Lu Xiao, dislikes 60】

Shen Tang's lips twitched, and she sighed inwardly: One has turned evil, and four others despise me. This road to winning them over is truly long and arduous!
The system manual clearly states that the male protagonist's favorability is divided into six levels: Darkened, Dislike, Normal, Favorable, Like, and Deeply in Love.

Each level has a score of 100, and the system's task requires Shen Tang to raise the male lead's favorability to "deep love" or above, while preventing the male lead from turning evil.

The higher the male protagonist's corruption level, the greater her probability of death. Once the corruption level reaches 100, she will definitely die!

Xiao Jin's corruption level had reached a staggering 60, and Shen Tang dared not face him. Forget it, she should first think of how to get rid of this bowl of meat soup; after all, the mermaid's level of disgust towards her was also quite high.

The original owner's residence was in the south of the city, but Jia Lan, in order to stay away from her, deliberately moved her residence to the northernmost part of the shelter, nearly ten miles apart. Shen Tang's legs were almost worn out from walking all this way.

This time, she didn't dare to trespass on the house again and cautiously pressed the doorbell.

A little while later, just when she thought no one was home, the door opened.

The man who opened the door was elegant and refined, with short, slightly wavy, flaxen hair, deep blue eyes, curled eyelashes, a straight nose, and warm, light red lips. His features were delicate and pale, exuding a cool and beautiful aura.

His physique was somewhere between that of a boy and a young man, possessing the slender build of a young man yet retaining the delicate elegance of a boy, like a perfect sculpture from ancient Greece, with every detail meticulously crafted.

However, his collar was disheveled, and a red mark could still be vaguely seen on his neck, as if he had just experienced a passionate encounter.

Shen Tang was slightly taken aback.

Jialan was surprised to see her, then her eyes darkened and her face was full of cold disgust. "Who let you come here!"

"Darling, who are you talking to?" A charming voice came from behind the man, and then a beautiful woman in a bathrobe walked over and put her arm around his waist.

The woman's beautiful eyes darted around, and when she saw Shen Tang's appearance, she was startled and screamed, "Ah! Where did this scavenger come from? What are you doing standing in front of our door?"

Then, as if she remembered something, she slapped her forehead, her face full of fake apology, "Oh, right, I remember now, you are Ms. Shen Tang, Alan's wife, right? I'm sorry, I thought you were another scavenger begging for food."

Those scavengers at the bottom of society in the city cannot afford nutritional supplements and often eat contaminated food, which causes their bodies to become distorted, ugly, and obese.

Shen Tang looked at the two people cuddling together, her expression turning somewhat unpleasant. This was her beastly husband; why was he with another female?
"It's alright, you go to sleep first, I'll handle this." Jia Lan smiled gently at the woman, then looked at Shen Tang standing outside the door, her smile instantly turning gloomy and filled with uncontrollable rage, "Aren't you going to get out? Do you want me to personally kick you out!"

Shen Tang spoke with difficulty, "I came to find you."

She tried to hand the lunchbox to the man, but he acted as if he had seen some monster and pushed her away.

Luckily, Shen Tang was heavy enough; her weight of over 300 pounds gave her a stable center of gravity, otherwise she would have almost been shoved to the ground by this man. Rolling down those seven or eight steps would have at least left her bedridden for three days, if not completely bruised and battered!

Jialan's gaze towards her was not filled with pity, but rather with disgust, as if she were looking at some filthy garbage, making her feel nauseous even to look at it.

Get lost, and don't let me see you again!

Seeing this ridiculous scene, Gu Lian suppressed the cold smile on her lips. This ugly fat woman wanted to steal her man? She was dreaming.

Jealousy flickered in his eyes. Jia Lan was a member of the merman royal family; how could this female be worthy of him?

But it was thanks to this ugly, fat woman that she met a man who was unattainable in her life, and she naturally couldn't let this opportunity slip by.

Gu Lian's voice was soft and sweet, "Alan, you haven't told her about our relationship yet?"

Jia Lan sneered, "Does this prince need her permission to want other women?"

Gu Lian was smug. This fat woman had been completely abandoned by Jia Lan. She no longer hid her intentions, raised her chin, and looked at Shen Tang with a provocative gaze. "A Lan promised to marry me. If you have any self-awareness, then take out half of your property and sign this divorce agreement."
