Chapter 66
The faces of the White Lizards’ group turned grim as they growled in anger,
“Xue Yinzhou, what do you want to do? She’s a serious criminal, and helping her is harboring a criminal p>
“The City Lord personally ordered the capture of this wicked woman, and harboring a fugitive will punish you as an accomplice p>
“If you don’t let her go, don’t blame us for being rude p>
The group drew their guns and fired at the tree.
An invisible Black Fog formed a barrier, blocking all the attacks outside.
Xue Yinzhou ignored the group of enraged Beastmen below. He leaned lazily against the tree, his silvery-purple eyes, cold as moonlight, narrowed slightly, leisurely enjoying Shen Tang’s wretched state.
Her clothes were torn to tatters, her hair a disheveled mess like a bird’s nest.
She was already ugly, and now she looked even more like a beggar on the streets.
However, no beggar could be as fat as her.
His thin lips curled into a mocking sneer, “We’ve been gone for just one day, and you’ve got yourself into such a mess, Shen Tang, you really know how to stir up trouble p>
Shen Tang couldn’t be bothered to respond to his cold sarcasm; she removed the damaged Snake Shedding from her body, cradling it like a treasure, feeling heartbroken.
Such a useful self-defense object, and now it’s ruined. There’s no way she could snatch another one from this damned snake.
Xue Yinzhou noticed her sadness, frowned, and glanced at the ragged Snake Shedding in her hands.
For a moment, he thought Shen Tang actually liked his Snake Shedding.
But he knew all too well that this fat woman deeply despised Snake Beasts and had insulted and scolded him more than once during his weakest metamorphosis period, ignoring his pleas and cries, claiming that his Snake Shedding was utterly disgusting, and even ordering people to burn them all.
Back then, Xue Yinzhou was terrified of this eccentric Princess, but he couldn’t resist, so he endured the abuse. Later, every time he was about to undergo metamorphosis, he would sneak away to a secluded corner and only return after shedding, managing to keep the Snake Shedding.
Now, this fat woman wrapped the most disgusting Snake Shedding around her for survival, which was really laughable.
Shen Tang had no idea what Xue Yinzhou was thinking. She suddenly sensed the man’s presence beside her turn chillingly cold, and the icy snake tail wrapped around her waist suddenly swung downwards, causing her to spin and fall in mid-air.
The Black Fog barrier dissipated.
Her terrified gaze met the pursuing soldiers below.
The man’s cold, teasing voice slowly echoed above,
“You want her? Sure, but catch her properly p>
The expressions of the White Lizards’ group varied, unable to keep up with the plot’s progression. They initially thought Xue Yinzhou and this fat woman were in cahoots, intending to oppose them, but it turned out to be a deliberate humiliation of this fat woman, which made them breathe a sigh of relief.
Shen Tang’s face changed drastically; this damned man was trying to harm her again!
Just as the snake tail was about to let go, Shen Tang’s adrenaline surged, and she grabbed the thick, long snake tail tightly, her entire fatty body clinging to the cold, hard scales, causing the snake tail in her arms to stiffen, desperately wanting to fling her away.
Xue Yinzhou’s forehead veins bulged, his face dark as ink, “Let go p>
“No, you are my Beast Husband, you must protect me p>
Want to shake her off, no way!
Shen Tang knew her actions were shameless, but this snake wanted to kill her, so she didn’t care about saving face.
Shen Tang’s face turned bluish-purple, almost suffering a concussion from the shaking, but she clung to the snake tail with all her might, refusing to let go, no matter how angry he became.
Xue Yinzhou’s aura turned chillingly frightening, and even the White Lizards felt an instinctive fear and retreated. In the blink of an eye, the two people in the tree disappeared.
“Not good, hurry and chase p>
Meanwhile, on the other side of the mountain, the river water flowed along the ravine.
“Splash!” Water splashed everywhere.
Xue Yinzhou directly flung the snake tail into the rushing river, his handsome face filled with a sinister and enigmatic smile, “Shen Tang, are you tired of pretending these days? Deceiving even Shen Li and the others, let me help you wash your face clearly and see what a disgusting thing you truly are p>
Shen Tang, caught off guard, was submerged with a mouthful of icy water, the suffocating pain turning her face red. Slowly, her strength waned, and she let go of the snake tail, drifting further away with the river.
Xue Yinzhou’s face showed no trace of pity, as if he had discarded a piece of nauseating trash.
These days, Shen Tang had changed her demeanor to be gentle and diligent, as if she were a different person. Still, Xue Yinzhou didn’t believe that the ugly and deceitful female could truly reform.
This wasn’t the first time she pretended to be gentle and kind to win their trust, only to pounce and drain them dry once they let their guard down.
He wanted to expose her fake facade.
Xue Yinzhou’s face remained cold and brooding, issuing a mocking laugh, turning to leave. Yet, he didn’t hear the female’s cursing from behind.
He paused, turned back to the river’s edge, but could no longer see any trace of the female.
Could it be that she was washed downstream?
Impossible, that female could swim, this bit of river water couldn’t drown her.
What he didn’t know was that the newfound Shen Tang was a complete non-swimmer.
“Help… help p>
Shen Tang flailed wildly in the river, her mouth and nose filling with icy water, barely able to breathe.
A red silhouette suddenly appeared, enveloping her with a familiar intoxicating fragrance.
“Xiao Tang? How did you end up here, and in the water p>
Shen Li was hunting Mutant Species nearby when he heard cries for help not far away, the voice sounding peculiarly familiar. He rushed over and found the drowning Shen Tang, hurriedly pulling her out of the river.
Shen Tang was soaked through, lying on the ground, vomiting water, her face pale as a ghost, shivering as she curled up with fear written all over her face.
Shen Li assumed she was just cold and quickly built a bonfire to warm her up.
But she continued shivering uncontrollably, as if petrified by something.
Could it be she encountered a Mutant Species?
Besides, it was the hunting season, why was she here?
Shen Li’s eyes were filled with compassion and confusion, knowing it wasn’t the right time for questions.
He took off his coat and draped it over Shen Tang, forgetting how much he once disliked this female, squatting beside her, cradling the trembling Shen Tang gently, comforting her softly, “Don’t be afraid, Brother Li is here p>
Her wet hair still dripped water, Shen Li’s palms exuded a faint red glow, drying her hair and soaked clothes.
The bone-chilling cold turned into warmth, and Shen Tang’s face finally lost some of its paleness. Her eyes focused again on Shen Li, who was softly coaxing her, and her mouth quivered, shedding a couple of tears.
Her deeply buried confusion, panic, fear, and anger reached a breaking point at that moment.
She let out a wail and cried aloud.
Damn.
Had she blown up the galaxy in her previous life? Why was God treating her this way?
Shen Tang clung to Shen Li, crying her heart out.
Xue Yinzhou appeared not far away, watching the female sobbing with her head in her hands, his expression slightly stunned, suddenly unsure whether to approach.
