Chapter 191
Xue Yinzhou frowned slightly but did not refuse. This was, after all, part of a Beast Husband’s duties. Anyway, the shift changes in three days, so it doesn’t matter.
He glanced at the map, noting a gravel mine five kilometers away. His cold eyes swept over the workers resting under the tree after eating, and in a flat, emotionless voice, he said, “Pack your things and follow me p>
The beastmen hadn’t had much interaction with Xue Yinzhou and were unfamiliar with this mysterious Snake Beast Husband. Especially since Xue Yinzhou’s aura was as cold and formidable as a glacier, projecting a terrifying chill that made their hearts tremble with fear, leaving them too afraid to approach and talk to him. For a moment, no one dared to follow.
Shen Tang noticed the situation and sighed softly: This Snake Beast has never really interacted with normal people, so he has no idea how to socialize.
So she clapped her hands with a smile and took the initiative to smooth things over, “The preparation work before starting is very tough. You’ve all worked hard during this period. Starting today, wages will be paid daily upon completion. Those who do well will receive a bonus at the end of the month p>
Upon hearing these words, the beastmen were instantly motivated and hurriedly grabbed their tools to follow Xue Yinzhou.
After everyone left, Xiao Jin, fully revived, transformed into human form and excitedly rushed over to her.
Shen Tang stepped back and blocked him with disdain, “You’re all sweaty and filthy; go wash up! Or you can forget about setting foot in the house today p>
Xiao Jin sniffed himself, his cool and handsome face blushing slightly. He usually wouldn’t notice such minor details when alone. Afraid of being disliked by the female, he turned his head and saw a river not far away, instantly transforming back into beast form and jumping into the river with a “splash!” sending up a large spray of water.
Soon after, a dripping wet black panther head emerged from the river and spat out a mouthful of water.
Seeing his comical appearance, Shen Tang felt both amused and exasperated: Silly Panther!
“Xiao Tang’er, the first batch of raw material extraction work is complete. I have detailed records of the accounts. Do you want to take a look?” Shen Li inquired warmly.
“Sure.” Shen Tang nodded.
Shen Li led her to a temporary grass hut.
Although the hut appeared quite simple from the outside, it was tidy inside.
Shen Li, being a very tasteful beautiful fox, had decorated the seemingly ordinary grass hut into a cozy and delightful space.
He had specially crafted windows with wooden strips on the sunny side, placing pots of wildflowers on the windowsills and corners that bloomed elegantly and beautifully.
The chairs and bed were also covered with soft and clean cushions.
Especially upon entry, Shen Tang could smell a faint fragrance that soothed her mood, making it more exquisite than a female’s!
Sitting on the chair, the cushion on the backrest seemed to be infused with Shen Li’s enchanting scent, permeating her senses and making her head a little dazed.
Shen Li brought over a large pile of account books, blocking his face.
Thump—
The books were placed on the table.
The wooden table trembled slightly.
Shen Tang quickly stood up to hold the mountain-like pile of account books, almost letting some fall, shocked, “So many p>
“The quantities of timber, iron, and gravel extraction, as well as the time for each shipment and manpower, are all recorded. Oh, and the wages for beastmen, including those who slack off, working half-day while counting as a full day, are noted. There’s also miscellaneous stuff, everything must be documented without oversight.” Shen Li explained seriously.
Originally thinking Shen Li’s task was easygoing, Shen Tang didn’t expect it to be so laborious. After flipping through just half a book, she was dizzy, yawning.
Seeing Shen Tang’s weary appearance, Shen Li’s throat rolled out a low laugh.
He walked forward, embracing Shen Tang in his arms, turned, and sat on the chair, positioning her to face him, sitting on his long, sturdy thighs.
Shen Tang was startled by Shen Li’s sudden move, her pretty face flushed. Instinctively intending to get off him, she was unexpectedly held tightly by Shen Li, pressed into his embrace.
The fluffy fox tail swayed gently, brushing against her cheek, as if teasing.
Shen Li leaned close to her ear, laughing softly, “Xiao Tang’er is indeed a diligent, working princess. Unfortunately, there are too many accounts; it won’t be finished quickly p>
His deep alluring voice floated like silk, charming and heartwarming,
The enticing tone made Shen Tang’s ears burn red.
She’s no naive little girl and naturally understood the sneaky fox’s insinuations.
Remembering they’ve only done it once since formally coupling, it seemed the fox was also impatient.
“Well, let’s focus on the account books now, and leave tonight for later!” There were many beastmen outside working, and anyone with a mind could see their intimate posture through the window.
Shen Tang did not want Shen Li to press her on the bed to do something now.
Being caught by outsiders would mean her highness wouldn’t have to stay in the city anymore!
“Xiao Tang’er must remember to keep your promise. Come to my room tonight; Brother Li will teach you how to read account books properly.” Shen Li’s slender enchanting fox eyes curved into charming crescents, his long hands lightly squeezing her soft waist.
The sensation made her tremble, and she quickly escaped from his lap, grabbing an account book to block the man’s playful gaze.
Shen Li chuckled, reminding, “Xiao Tang’er, that’s not how you read account books; you took it upside down p>
Hurriedly, Shen Tang flipped the book, realizing she had it reversed.
Noticing the sneaky fox was teasing her intentionally, her face reddened more, she glared at him fiercely, quickly correcting the book, focusing intently.
Yet her mind was filled with suggestive images, making her mouth dry, unable to read a single word.
“Tangtang, I’m back p>
Before finishing a book, Xiao Jin’s hurried voice came from outside the door.
He burst through the wooden door, rushing in, freshly washed.
He had run several circles outside, shaking off and drying all the water, exuding a refreshing scent.
The large, robust black panther filled almost half the narrow grass hut upon entry, knocking over several flower pots.
Seeing this, Shen Li’s temple throbbed, wishing to chase the annoying panther out.
Xiao Jin barged in, oblivious to such details, directly running to Shen Tang, rubbing his head on her leg eagerly, “This broken place isn’t worth staying; let’s go home! I’ll carry you p>
Shen Tang giggled at the tickling panther, petting its smooth fur, got outside, and mounted the black panther.
Xiao Jin carried her, excitedly speeding away.
The scenery rapidly moved backward, and soon the quarry turned into a black dot.
Shen Tang had to hold onto Xiao Jin’s neck, burying her head in his fur, smelling his sun-dried cat fur, which was quite pleasant.
Noticing her movement, Xiao Jin felt more thrilled, running even faster.
Seeing them disappear instantly, Shen Li shook his head, stored the accounts in the Light Brain Space, then summoned a clever-looking beastman, instructing a few things before transforming into beast form to follow.
