A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 94 Last time... I didn't intend to kill you.

Shen Li, who had been lost in thought with a sullen expression, snapped out of his reverie upon hearing her voice. A gentle, alluring smile spread across his handsome face, his fox-like eyes curving into crescents, and his voice soothing and pleasant.
"What are your orders, Xiao Tang'er?"

When Shen Tang met his smile, a look of amazement and disbelief flashed across her face; she had been thoroughly bewitched by this cunning fox.

It has to be said, Shen Li is really good-looking.

His beauty is unique.

He possesses a captivating allure rarely seen in male beastmen, yet retains a masculine handsomeness and cold resolve; the blend of these two distinct qualities makes him exceptionally attractive.

She coughed lightly, looked away, and pointed to the field. "Could you help me dig holes in the field?"

Shen Li's smile froze, and his expression inexplicably darkened.

He thought she had called him because she wanted something important.

They actually asked him to dig a hole in the ground.

Shen Li glanced at Xiao Jin digging in the ground, the soil flying everywhere, his clothes covered in dust. His lips twitched slightly, and he said with a gentle smile, "...Let me help you sow the seeds."

He looked at the large bag of seeds on the ground.

Shen Li had never worked in the fields, but he knew that these seeds must have been sown in these holes.

Shen Tang thought to herself that this cunning fox was quite good at picking easy tasks for her, so she didn't say much. After explaining the precautions for burying the seeds, she smiled and looked at Lu Xiao and Jia Lan not far away, "You two shouldn't just stand there watching, come and help."

Jialan's face was full of anger, "You want me, Your Highness, to work in the fields for you?"

"It's not like I'm asking you to work for free. Once they're grown, I'll make you lots of delicious food," Shen Tang coaxed.

Hearing this, Jialan's expression softened slightly. She gave a soft hum, snatched the hoe from her hand, and started digging a hole.

Lu Xiao took the wheat seeds, gathered wind in his palm, and precisely dropped three seeds into each pit.

Shen Tang was dumbfounded. This superpower was really useful for farming!
She assigned tasks to the animal husbands and watched them diligently farm, feeling a great sense of satisfaction.

Suddenly, a tall, slender shadow loomed over her, and a cool, deep voice rang out.

"What do you need me to do?"

Shen Tang's expression froze.

She looked up at Xue Yinzhou approaching, her eyes filled with surprise.

Unexpectedly, this snake-beast, which had always ignored her, took the initiative to talk to her.

Xue Yinzhou stared intently at her with his cold, narrow purple eyes, as if waiting for her to give him orders and assign him some tasks.

Shen Tang pursed her lips, glanced at the field, and smiled somewhat unnaturally. "There's not much work to do. The four of them can handle it. You don't need to help. You can rest for now."

Seeing the aloofness in her eyes, Xue Yinzhou's expression softened slightly, and a strange feeling rose in his heart.

He pursed his thin lips and said coldly, "You treat me differently than you treat them."

Even if he's slow to realize it, he would have figured it out by now.

She used to treat everyone the same and treat them all badly, but now she is visibly dependent on and relaxed towards Shen Li and the others, and even mated with that leopard.

But when facing him, Shen Tang was inexplicably distant, and there was a hint of nervousness and fear in her eyes.

Xue Yinzhou recalled the past, his brows furrowing slightly as he whispered, "That time, I didn't intend to kill you."

"I know." Shen Tang's smile was forced; otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed back to find her afterwards.

But the damage was irreversible; he himself had said he wanted to kill her.

Shen Tang couldn't forget it. Normally, she could get along well with Xue Yinzhou, but whenever the two of them were alone, especially when he was close to her, Shen Tang would subconsciously recall the feeling of being on the verge of death. Her body, still shaken, would instinctively tense up, and she couldn't help but want to back away from him.

The two sat facing each other in silence, the awkward atmosphere making her scalp tingle.

Shen Tang suddenly remembered the fertilizer that the system had rewarded her with, which was said to be able to greatly shorten the growth cycle of crops. So she quickly took out the fertilizer from her space and assigned it to Xue Yinzhou, "After they finish sowing, you can sprinkle the fertilizer on them."

Xue Yinzhou looked at the fertilizer on the ground and was surprised. When did she buy it?
He had never seen this kind of fertilizer in the city.

Xue Yinzhou didn't ask any more questions. After giving Shen Tang a deep look, he silently used his tail to pick up the fertilizer and dragged it to the field.

Shen Tang found a shady spot to sit down and rest, happily planning that, according to the system, the wheat would grow in about a month after fertilizing, and then she could make delicious pasta.

If the harvest from this experimental plot is good, she will plant rice, corn, and sweet potatoes. Thinking about it, life is getting more and more promising.

However, as time went on, she couldn't keep asking Shen Li and the others to farm every day; that would be a waste of their talents. They also needed to go out hunting and fighting to improve their strength.

As more and more land is reclaimed in the future, even five or six of them will not be enough to manage.

Shen Tang was thinking about where to find some cheap labor, preferably free labor.

She asked the city lord for advice.

After thinking for a moment, the city lord said, "There are some old orcs in the city who have lost their ability to hunt. They also have no means of livelihood. If you are willing, you can hire them for a fee. However, if you are short of money, I can send those laborers from the prison to work in the fields for you for free."

Upon hearing the city lord's words, Shen Tang recalled the orcs who had tried to assassinate him, and a complex mix of emotions flashed through his mind.

Those orcs are quite strong; it's a waste to leave them in prison. If we could recruit them, they would be a great asset.

Unfortunately, most of the orcs loathed and hated her, even wishing they could kill her, making it too difficult to subdue her.

But she still wanted to give it a try.

Among a group of people, you can always pick out two who don't hate her that much.

"Lord of the city, may I go and see those labor camp inmates who were imprisoned last time?" Shen Tang asked.

The city lord looked surprised. "What do you want to see them for?"

Shen Tang hesitated, "Some of them have some misunderstandings about me. I want to meet them and see if we can clear up the misunderstandings."

The city lord's expression was complicated. It couldn't be called a misunderstanding; it was just that what she had done in the past was too much... But he had now changed his opinion of Shen Tang. If he could really change the prejudice of the orcs in the city against her, he might as well give it a try.

The city lord nodded in agreement.

The following morning, the city lord instructed the prison warden to release all the newly arrived convicts and gather them in the square.

He also mentioned that Shen Tang wanted them to go outside the city to reclaim wasteland, and that if they behaved well, their prison time could be reduced.

Shen Tang thought no one would respond, but to her surprise, a slightly tall, thin, and hunched figure walked out with a limp, saying, "I'm willing to go farm."

Shen Tang looked over in surprise and found the figure somewhat familiar.

She remembered that this was the wolf that had tried to ambush and assassinate her that day.

The wolf turned to look at Shen Tang, its eyes filled with complex emotions, but without the manic coldness of that day.

The woman is right; she gave her life for his, so she owes him nothing.

His hatred for her should also be offset.

After the wolf stepped forward, a commotion broke out in the crowd, and soon several more orcs stepped forward as well.

A smile appeared on Shen Tang's face.

Suddenly, a blur of motion rushed forward and tackled her to the ground!
