Chapter 136
The system chuckled proudly, “Of course not. I’m the latest version of the system, with countermeasures against those old, outdated probes p>
Shen Tang arched her brows slightly, secretly relieved, and said with a smile, “I didn’t know you were quite capable p>
“Of course,” the system said proudly.
Shen Tang found this damn system becoming more and more personable.
At first, this guy was just an emotionless machine, ruthlessly assigning tasks. Although its nature of assigning shameless tasks remained unchanged, in daily interactions, it was becoming more and more like a little companion.
The system explained, “After binding with the host, the system’s personality is influenced by the host and the surrounding environment, gradually simulating a baseline personality p>
“Oh, there’s also good news to tell the host. After your stunning appearance this time, the male leads’ affinity has significantly increased p>
“Xiao Jin’s affinity +20 p>
“Shen Li’s affinity +20 p>
“Lu Xiao’s affinity +20! Reached the affinity stage, reward: a bottle of Superpower Breaking Potion”
“Jia Lan’s affinity +30! Reached the liking stage, reward: special skill, Splendid Dance Steps p>
Shen Tang slightly raised her brows. She understood what the Superpower Breaking Potion was, literally something that could help her break through her superpower level.
But what are these Splendid Dance Steps?
The system explained, “This skill can help the clumsy host become a dance master, the dance steps have a splendid and dreamlike effect. The host just needs to try it p>
Shen Tang twitched the corner of her mouth, not much interested in this skill, even feeling it a bit useless. She would rather be rewarded with another powerful attack skill!
Shen Tang took out the Superpower Breaking Potion from the space.
To prevent giving herself away, when system items appear in front of outsiders, they automatically transform into the most suitable appearance for the current environment.
For example: this glass of red wine in her hand, contains the Superpower Breaking Potion.
The spiritual power of the former host was S-level, unable to break through further, so it could only be slowly repaired.
After her and Xiao Jin’s, Shen Li’s efforts these days, their spiritual power had recovered to 15 p>
As long as the spiritual power can slowly recover, there’s no need to worry.
Which should be upgraded first, Healing Ability or Earth Element Ability?
Shen Tang leaned more towards the Healing Ability.
The Healing Ability sounded more useful and precious than the Earth Element Ability.
However, in most of the scenes Shen Tang currently encounters, Basic Healing Ability is enough to solve issues.
On the contrary, the Earth Element Ability was somewhat weak.
Both in offense and defense, it was a bit lacking, often not strong enough to fight high-level Beastmen.
Shen Tang seriously thought about it and decided to upgrade the Earth Element Ability first.
After taking the potion, her Earth Element Ability surged significantly, advancing to Intermediate Earth Ability, equivalent to the combat power of Beastman Rank Four or Five.
As long as she doesn’t encounter very powerful Beastmen, there should be no problem, enough to protect herself.
The gaze of the Beastmen occasionally fell on Shen Tang, but she ignored it.
Xiao Jin and the others looked displeased, discreetly shielding Shen Tang from the prying eyes of those damned male beasts.
A foreign envoy stood up to propose a toast, congratulating the Emperor, “Your country has two beautiful and wise princesses, truly fortunate, making others envious p>
Shen Qingli heard this and the anger she barely suppressed flared up again; this was not what she wanted to hear!
Clearly, all the attention should have been on her today. She is the Empire’s invaluable Princess, how could this impostor have the right to be mentioned in the same breath as her p>
Both the Emperor and the Empress had odd expressions hearing this, but they could only smile and respond.
The Empress glanced curiously in Shen Tang’s direction several times, wondering what was going on. Shen Tang looked so ordinary before, but went to the contaminated land and not only didn’t become uglier, but became more beautiful.
Even high-tech cosmetic surgery couldn’t achieve that.
The Empress touched her own meticulously cared-for, but slightly aging face, puzzled yet not willing to lower herself to ask.
After the ceremony, there was another banquet where the males and females could invite their objects of affection to dance.
Shen Qingli’s gaze occasionally swept over to Shen Tang and her table, growing more furious, almost exploding with rage.
The sealing ceremony was completely beyond her control, and in desperation, Shen Qingli used a Charm Buff, barely reversing the disastrous situation.
However, it still didn’t reach the effect she envisioned, and she wasted a chance to use her charm.
She only has one Charm Buff left now and is reluctant to use it.
It’s all Shen Tang, that foul woman’s fault!
She must make her pay for this!
Shen Qingli’s eyes lit up as a plan came to her. Shen Tang, this foolish female, has been in the Imperial Palace for more than ten years but is stupid and clumsy, clueless about etiquette and dance, unlike her.
If Shen Tang embarrasses herself at the dance, the Beastmen’s impression of her will surely plummet.
By then, she will shine and reclaim the spotlight that should have been hers!
Ha, what if this ugly duckling got prettier through surgery?
A fool at heart, no matter how beautiful the skin, can’t change this fact.
Thinking this, Shen Qingli poured a glass of red wine and gracefully approached Jia Lan and Shen Li, smiling warmly, “I wonder if this princess could have the honor of inviting you to a dance p>
Xiao Jin and the others wore strange expressions; they had nothing to do with this princess, so why invite them to dance?
Afraid of getting entangled, Xiao Jin immediately declined, “I can’t dance, better you invite someone more skillful p>
Shen Qingli’s expression slightly changed, not expecting him to refuse so quickly, but thinking about it, this leopard was born in the slums and never received high-society etiquette; it’s normal for him not to dance.
She softened her smile, turning to Shen Li and the others.
Shen Li smiled slightly, “I’m sorry, I am not well-versed in court dances and fear I may disturb Your Highness’s enjoyment p>
Lu Xiao glanced at Shen Tang, also declining softy, “With the Female Master by my side, it’s inappropriate p>
Their refusals had a proper pretext, but Jia Lan’s words nearly made Shen Qingli lose her composure.
The best court dancer, Jia Lan, simply said, “I broke my leg, can’t dance p>
Shen Qingli gritted her teeth; how could he attend a banquet with a broken leg?
This damn man can’t even come up with a better excuse.
Shen Qingli had been most confident about winning over Jia Lan, after all, Mermaids have high aesthetics and love beauties. She thought her face would be enough to capture his heart, but unexpectedly, this Mermaid’s attitude was the sharpest, almost breaking the artificial smile on her face.
Jealously, Shen Qingli looked at Shen Tang, determined to make her embarrass herself today, to show those damn men who really is their perfect match!
She intentionally spoke loudly for everyone to hear.
“Why don’t we have Shen Tang dance for us instead p>
