Chapter 263
Shen Tang was so angry she nearly laughed. This arrogant jerk wasn’t just full of himself, he didn’t know a good thing when he saw it.
She went out of her way to help him, and he dared to give her the cold shoulder?
Did he really think she had no temper?
Honestly, if it weren’t for the Yun Family being founders of the Empire and the original owner’s wishes, Shen Tang wouldn’t have bothered to come rescue him. But anyway, Yun Han wasn’t inherently bad, and he’d put in quite a bit of effort these days.
A Ninth Rank Beastman couldn’t be wasted for nothing.
Her willingness to save him was entirely for the sake of the Empire.
“Don’t you want to rescue Shen Qingli? Are you planning to drag your crippled body to save her? You two would make a great pair of doomed lovers.” Shen Tang glanced at his crippled right arm and ruthlessly pierced his pride.
Yun Han’s forehead veins throbbed, and he clenched his fists but remained speechless and unretortful.
When Shen Tang came to heal him again, he kept his mouth shut this time.
No male willingly wants to be a cripple.
Especially not the proud Young Master of the Yun Family.
Shen Tang instructed him to take off his shirt.
Yun Han hesitated, thinking that his clothes were already in tatters, so it would make no difference whether he took them off or not. With a big gesture, he ripped his shirt to shreds, revealing a strong, youthful body with well-defined muscular lines full of power, exuding a strong masculine aura.
As expected of the male lead, that physique was quite impressive, on par with Xiao Jin and the others.
Shen Tang wasn’t in the mood to admire right now. Yun Han’s injuries were severe, but the other wounds were manageable. With medication and the powerful recovery ability of a Ninth Rank Beastman, they weren’t life-threatening.
But his right arm was completely useless.
The nerves and muscles were all dead, incapable of being treated with medication.
With that arm gone, his power would greatly decrease, his rank falling to the Eighth Rank.
Shen Tang didn’t want to lose a Ninth Rank general in vain, so she hesitated for a moment, and while bandaging and treating his wounds, she secretly used a bit of her healing ability.
Yun Han leaned against a tree, temporarily away from the war zone. Seeing the female seriously bandaging his wounds, he felt a flicker of emotion.
Suddenly he felt that the words he said earlier were too harsh.
His throat dry and rolling, he opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.
He looked down bleakly at his bloody, fleshless right arm, fully aware that a crippled male beastman was essentially useless.
Falling in rank, becoming a cripple.
All past glory would cease to exist.
For Yun Han, this was undoubtedly the biggest blow he had ever suffered, and he was likely to never recover.
Having lived for over twenty years, to fall from the clouds to the dust in one day, the pain he felt at this moment was only known to himself.
But he fully deserved it; he couldn’t blame anyone else.
In Yun Han’s moment of despair, he suddenly felt a very faint yet gentle power entering his body, seemingly restoring a multitude of life, quickly healing the nerves and flesh of his right arm that had long since died.
The dead arm gradually regained sensation.
He could even feel the soft fingers of the female slowly wandering over his skin, causing his mind to seem as if tickled by a feather, stirring indescribable ripples.
This is p>
Yun Han’s body trembled, his eyes filled with astonishment, his heart surging with waves, even doubting if he was dreaming.
His injury was healing?
This thread of power was extremely faint, well hidden, but Yun Han, after all, was a Ninth Rank Beastman, with a very keen sense of power. There was no way his perception could be wrong!
Besides, he was clearly aware of his injuries, utterly beyond salvation, unless… he had top-level healing ability!
Yun Han squinted his long, sharp black eyes, staring at Shen Tang with probing eyes sharp as swords, his heart full of disbelief.
How could this be possible?
She had already awakened a second superpower, how could she still have healing ability?
This was unheard of!
But the wound on his arm that was healing was real.
“You awakened a third superpower?” Yun Han’s black eyes fixed on her, his voice low and hoarse.
Shen Tang’s heart jolted, not expecting him to notice. She had healed severely injured and near-dead beastmen before, but had always done so discreetly. Those beastmen had lower ranks and couldn’t perceive it, only thinking they were lucky to survive. She hadn’t expected Yun Han to notice so fast, as expected of the male lead.
Shen Tang quickly withdrew her power, her expression unchanged, “Your injury looks quite severe, but fortunately your body is tough, and you can be saved… I’ve bandaged you up. Don’t be so reckless in the future, rest well p>
With that, she quickly stood up to leave.
Yun Han, not getting the answer he wanted, couldn’t possibly let her go so easily. He extended his long arm, grabbing Shen Tang’s wrist and pulling her into his embrace.
Shen Tang was unprepared, unexpectedly falling onto him.
Who knows what she bumped into.
Yun Han’s face turned pale, his forehead veins slightly jumping, as if he pulled an injury, letting out a muffled grunt from his throat.
His dark eyes also briefly showed a dazed and unfocused glimmer.
However, Shen Tang felt something, her face changing dramatically, freaking heck, could it be p>
She scrambled to her feet, her face flushed with embarrassment, and slapped him across the face.
Her voice as cold as ice, “Yun Han, I’m warning you for the last time, you’re a married man now, watch yourself p>
Back then, because of what the system said, Shen Tang had briefly considered winning over Yun Han, but now she knew that Yun Han and Shen Qingli had mated, and she had no interest in married men, let alone having such interactions with him.
Yun Han flusteredly came to his senses, his handsome face showing a hint of embarrassment, hastily adjusting his posture to cover up the awkwardness.
He didn’t even know why p>
But bodily reactions don’t lie.
Yun Han didn’t know how to explain, his handsome face growing even more unsightly, not daring to look at her anymore, he propped himself up with a long sword to get up from the ground, wanting to flee.
Leaving just like that would be too ungrateful.
Yun Han pursed his lips, just about to lower his stance to thank her, when he suddenly caught sight of Xiao Jin hurrying over from afar.
Xiao Jin’s handsome face slightly darkened, taking Shen Tang’s hand and giving Yun Han a hostile look, his voice deep, “Tangtang, let’s go, stay away from him p>
Shen Tang nodded and left with him.
Yun Han watched the two leave, his fists clenching and unclenching, then drank a bottle of recovery potion and turned to head to the other side of the battlefield.
After meeting up with her Beast Husband, Shen Tang also discussed the next step of the plan.
This sudden incident tonight wasn’t entirely a bad thing.
At least it exposed a hidden main force of the rebel army.
Now that they’ve shown themselves, there’s no reason to let them go. They should seize the opportunity to gather forces and try their best to annihilate them, not giving them another chance to take advantage.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
At the enemy camp stationed several dozen kilometers outside the Imperial City, on a hidden hillside.
Inside the camp, there was a large tent.
Shen Qingli lay on the bed covered in injuries, her clothes in disarray, with hardly any intact spots on her exposed skin.
Her mouth was nearly bitten to the point of bleeding, her eyes teary, swollen from crying, who knows for how long.
She cursed loudly at the empty tent, “That damn pervert dared to treat me like this p>
Zaxxis was displeased with her marriage to Yun Han and captured her, punishing her harshly for several days and nights.
Shen Qingli was tormented to the brink of death, suffering extreme humiliation! Seething with hatred!
The system calmly informed, [Host, there’s some bad news to tell you p>
“What could be worse news than my current situation?” Shen Qingli was about to explode with rage.
