Chapter 78
No male would want to be overshadowed by another male.
Especially when it’s said from a female’s mouth!
Jia Lan indeed didn’t like Shen Tang, but she was still a female. Her words instantly stirred his male instinct to compete!
In terms of appearance and status, how could he be worse off than those few Beast Husbands?
Even in terms of physique, he was still in his development stage and had been pampered all his life. Naturally, he wasn’t as strong as those burly men from the military camp, but he was definitely not lacking!
He had eight-pack abs and a Mermaid line, and in the sea area, there were countless noble females wanting to marry him. How dare this ugly fat woman disdain him!
She didn’t even take a look in the mirror!
How dare she p>
Jia Lan smiled coldly, “You better keep your word, or I’ll throw you out of the cabin door p>
Shen Tang saw his murderous gaze and felt somewhat scared, but didn’t back down verbally, “Hey, bet on it if you dare. See if I touch you tonight. I have no interest in skinny dogs p>
Although Jia Lan didn’t know what “skinny dog” meant, it was clear to anyone that it’s not a good term. His expression instantly became colder and more terrifying, wishing he could slice her into pieces.
The system urgently reminded, [Host, stop provoking him. The affinity you’ve managed to build up is about to drop again p>
Shen Tang was successfully intimidated and quickly dove into the bed, turning her back to him.
After glaring at her with vicious eyes, Jia Lan laid back in bed, put on his eye mask, out of sight, out of mind.
The two treated each other like air, and managed to pass the night uneventfully.
Fourth night.
It was Xiao Jin’s turn.
Just him left, nowhere to hide.
The two glared at each other, silent and speechless, the atmosphere was awkward.
Xiao Jin’s temple throbbed, he turned to open the door to leave, “You sleep here alone tonight, I’ll go to the hallway to sleep p>
“No way, stay in the room and don’t go anywhere!” Shen Tang hurriedly ran over to block him, insisting persistently, “If you go to the hallway, I go to the hallway too. Anyway, both of us have to stay in the same place tonight p>
Xiao Jin’s fierce, golden eyes swept over with danger. He sneered, picking her up like a chick and striding towards the hallway, “I see you’re itching for trouble p>
“You damn panther, let go of me!” Shen Tang struggled desperately.
Xiao Jin’s face showed impatience, about to say something, when suddenly a loud explosion echoed!
Something seemed to heavily hit the spaceship, the ground rolled violently, Xiao Jin scooped Shen Tang into his arms and rolled onto the ground, quickly found support to get back up.
The swaying spaceship emitted red alarm sounds.
This old spacecraft wasn’t equipped with a proper security system and would explode in at most ten seconds!
Xiao Jin instantly rushed over to grab the escape gear provided by the spaceship, and within seconds, quickly dressed both of them with parachutes, opening the emergency escape route.
“Quick, jump down p>
Xiao Jin shouted urgently.
Shen Tang almost blown away by the high-altitude airflow, looked at the clouds below, pale-faced, trembling with fear, wanting to retreat, “I, I don’t dare. How do I jump p>
She had never used a parachute before, didn’t know where to jump, and what if she ended up in the sea?
Xiao Jin’s forehead veins throbbed wildly, inwardly cursing this fat female for being both stupid and cowardly. No time left, he picked her up and threw her down.
The sharp explosion pierced through the clouds.
“Damn you, dead panther p>
“Ahhhhh p>
“Boom p>
Almost the moment they jumped, the spaceship behind exploded into fragments, the cloud dyed red by the flames.
The parachute mushroomed open in the air, descending into the forest, hung on a tree for a short while, the fragile branches snapped, followed by a “Bang!” heavy landing sound.
Shen Tang either passed out from fright or the fall, but she had fainted anyway.
Xiao Jin landed on a nearby hilltop, rolled on the ground twice, shook his head, and got up to examine the surrounding environment. It was a dense forest, with signs of trees being cut, there should be a city nearby.
He transformed into his beast form, followed the scent to find Shen Tang unconscious on the ground, called several times but she didn’t wake up.
A trace of panic flickered through his heart.
Black Panther nudged her body over to lie flat, lowered its head to sniff her face, finding she was still breathing, gently licked her face.
Licked clean the mud and fallen leaves stuck to her face.
The actions were intricate and tender.
Half-awake Shen Tang felt something wet licking her, thin barbs on it, seemed like it was peeling her skin off.
She suddenly opened her eyes, saw the imposing and sleek Black Panther before her, scared her face pale.
Shen Tang thought it was a wild panther in the forest trying to eat her, scared her to run off, but a sharp pain hit her leg, nearly causing her to fall, and Black Panther swiftly bit her clothes pulling her back.
“Why run? Did you hit your head?” Black Panther’s golden eyes fixed on her, a trace of human-like disdain in its eyes.
This fat chick wasn’t smart to begin with, surely even dumber now with a head injury.
That disdainful look, Shen Tang was very familiar with it.
It’s Xiao Jin.
Seeing the Black Panther wanted to come closer to lick her head, Shen Tang quickly raised a hand to stop it, awkwardly smiling, “Oh, it’s you. I didn’t react, thought it was a wild panther wanting to eat me p>
“Tsk, with all that fat, eating you might cause a fatty liver!” Xiao Jin scoffed.
Shen Tang didn’t bother with him, just wanted to get up from the ground, but her legs weak with no strength, looking down she saw her right calf scratched by something, half the leg bruised, knee wound still oozing blood.
She took out Healing Medicine from the space to apply, quickly stopping the wound, though some lingering pain remained, slowing her steps.
Xiao Jin noticed her odd walking stance, his golden eyes flashed, generously offered, “I’ll carry you p>
Shen Tang suspiciously eyed the dead panther, wasn’t this guy supposed to be repelled by females? Normally avoiding her, would he kindly carry her now?
Does he plan to tease her, just to mock her later?
Shen Tang puffed her cheeks, unwilling to indulge his bad humor, turned to walk slowly away.
Xiao Jin saw her stubborn demeanor, for some reason got irked, previously this fat chick couldn’t wait to stick to him, even attempted drugging, how dare she ignore him now?
He gritted his molars, quickly caught up with her slow pace, his long tail coiled around her waist, lifted her onto his back, coldly snorted mockingly, “Why pretend now, weren’t you annoying before p>
Suddenly airborne on the Black Panther, Shen Tang blinked in surprise. Then the panther trotted forward with her, purposely slowing its speed.
Shen Tang’s lips curled up, the meals these days weren’t in vain, managed to brush out some conscience from this pesky panther.
Delightedly petting the coarse, tough panther fur, not as nice as Shen Li’s silky fox fur.
