Chapter 366
It was late, and Shen Tang had been busy all day, scrambling to organize the Beastmen to clean up the ruins and personally distribute disaster relief grain.
The more Luo Fei watched, the more he felt that this Emperor… no, this female was truly impressive! Responsible! Definitely better than her useless foster father.
He realized that he had indeed been wrong about her before.
Thinking of this, Luo Fei scratched his head, feeling a little guilty and a bit shy, saying, “Uh, I have something I want to tell you p>
Shen Tang looked around; it was just the two of them, so it seemed this guy wasn’t calling the wrong person.
But what was this big brute doing coming to find her at night for no reason?
She raised an eyebrow, deliberately teasing, “In the dead of night, alone male and lone female, you wouldn’t be thinking about proposing to me, would you p>
Luo Fei hadn’t expected her to be so direct, and his dark face couldn’t help but flush red as he retorted, pretending to be aggressive, “Why don’t you say I’m here to assassinate you instead p>
The system chimed in slyly, [Oh my, Master, this man seems to have some feelings for you, I can see his affinity rating starting to rise. Why not strike while the iron is hot and accept him? It wouldn’t be a loss anyway, and you could gain a lot of rewards p>
Shen Tang’s mouth twitched, even more surprised internally. Wasn’t this bandit leader supposed to hate her? Could he really have feelings for her? The development of this plot was truly unexpected!
She teased, “Then I might have to call for help p>
“No, no, no! I’m just saying it casually. I really admire you now, and I would never do something so stupid! I, I just wanted to say, I was wrong about you before. You really are capable, and I acknowledge you as the Monarch… Also, uh, I’ve fallen for you! I’m willing to wash your feet, warm your bed, work like a horse to serve you well p>
She raised her head high, giving Luo Fei a once-over. His face was rather handsome, but it was a pity that his skin was dark and slick, with exaggeratedly large muscles all over his body. He must be over two meters tall.
Her mouth twitched, “What species are you p>
Luo Fei’s figure stiffened, but he said nothing.
His face looked somewhat embarrassed and ashamed.
Shen Tang asked the system, “What animal form is he p>
The cheeky system giggled, [He’s a strong and mighty wild boar p>
Shen Tang nearly burst out, Ugly reject p>
That was too heavy for her taste, she really couldn’t accept it!
Seeing her not respond, Luo Fei got anxious, “Didn’t you just lose a Beast Husband? You are short on people around you; why not accept me, it wouldn’t be a loss p>
“Shut up p>
Shen Tang, who had been pleasant earlier, suddenly changed her expression upon hearing this, her eyes turning cold, sending a shiver through Luo Fei and making him realize he had said the wrong thing.
He immediately regretted it, wanting to slap his stupid mouth. He really was annoying!
Hu Yun arrived just in time to hear their exchange and face-palmed helplessly.
This bandit leader was really beyond saving, probably traded all his brains for muscles!
“What did he say to you?” Xue Yinzhou walked over, taking Shen Tang into his embrace, his snake eyes dangerously eyeing Luo Fei, as if he would eat him alive!
Luo Fei, despite being naturally gifted and never fearing anyone, felt chills under the gaze of this Snake Beast and reflexively stepped back.
Before Shen Tang could speak, Luo Fei hurriedly explained, “Uh, I just came to ask His Majesty something, it’s getting late! I’ll… I’ll go rest now p>
With that, he fled as if a ferocious beast were chasing him.
After Hu Yun and Shen Tang exchanged goodnights, they too left.
Hu Yun watched Luo Fei disappear into the distance and let out a breath of relief, oddly feeling a bit thankful.
If His Majesty really took a liking to that guy, he would feel even worse inside!
Having a struggling partner was somewhat comforting.
After returning to the tent to rest, Shen Tang received a message from Xiao Jin,
“Tangtang, I’ve got some bad news. That little panda we adopted last time is gone p>
Shen Tang, “What happened p>
Xiao Jin replied frustrated, “I’m not sure either. I’ve been looking for it all day but found no trace of it. Don’t know if it was taken or ran off on its own p>
Thinking of the cute little panda, Shen Tang felt a bit of a pity and sighed, “Well, if it ran away, it ran away. Sometimes things just aren’t meant to be p>
And that matter was put to rest.
Within the following month, Shen Tang led her army and rode the momentum, not only successfully reclaiming lost ground but also taking over Owl City in one fell swoop!
She beheaded the Warlord leaders and hung them on the city walls for three days and nights, warning the world.

[Updating territory information for Host]
Rebel army territory, Central Tower.
Ever since Zaxxis found out the child wasn’t his, he’s been cold to Shen Qingli to the extreme, severely punishing her once, but in the end, couldn’t bring himself to be ruthless and kill her.
Later, Shen Qingli did her utmost to please him, just to survive.
In time, through remedying, their relationship finally eased, regaining their previous affection.
That day, Zaxxis returned from outside, battered and bruised, clearly having encountered a strong enemy while battling outside.
Over the years, the rebel army not only attacked the Night Glow Empire but also occupied many other nations’ territories, so encountering many strong foes wasn’t uncommon.
Zaxxis would occasionally suffer some losses.
“Quick, lie down, let me heal you!” Shen Qingli expertly picked up the medicine, approaching with concern.
Zaxxis looked at the now gentle and considerate Shen Qingli, feeling quite pleased.
No male disliked a beautiful, gentle female; this was an instinct ingrained in male genes.
Shen Qingli promised him she wouldn’t do anything foolish again, to stay with him properly, and bear him another child in the future.
So Zaxxis couldn’t be bothered to dwell on past unhappiness.
As he embraced her, about to speak, the blade hidden in the medicine box suddenly plunged into his chest!
“Uh! How dare you Zaxxis staggered, eyes wide in disbelief.
Shen Qingli thrust the dagger deeply, her enchanting face filled with a crazed smile, “What right do you have to control me? You killed Mo Qi, killed my child, today I’m going to make you pay in blood p>
Zaxxis, whether from anger or pain, his eyes filled with blood.
This female had promised him to serve him wholeheartedly, yet dared to betray him!
She had disguised herself all this time, just to gain his trust, to assassinate him!
Zaxxis sneered, “You think you alone can kill me—ugh p>
He hadn’t finished speaking when another icy blade pierced through his back.
The green-haired young Beastman came up behind him, quietly whispering, “Commander, mind if I join in too p>
