Chapter 17
Now it was deep night, and the gray fog in the pollution zone was growing thicker, making it impossible to continue the journey.
The troops found a piece of high ground to set up camp.
Simple electric grid was set up all around, and traps were placed on the outskirts of the camp to prevent pollution creatures from ambushing.
The Beastman Warriors, after a day of fighting, were most eager for feminine comfort.
Most females sleep in tents with their Beast Husbands, providing both safety and privacy.
Shen Tang was very self-aware, so she didn’t disturb Shen Li. She slept alone in an armored vehicle, a few hundred meters away from the camp.
When she stepped out, she saw Jia Lan leaning against a tree nearby and thought she was dreaming.
“Why are you here p>
The young man turned his head to look at her, his blue eyes as cold as ice and snow.
Jia Lan’s face was originally stunningly handsome, like the perfect god statue from Ancient Greece, with thin moonlight falling on him, his skin as cold and white as jade, his figure long and lean, like a sea monster just learning to walk on land, anyone’s gaze would involuntarily fall on him, falling for him.
This prince, who came from an allied marriage with a neighboring country, was indeed extremely good-looking.
The original host truly didn’t shortchange herself; the Mermaid Queen of New Atlantis has hundreds of offspring, and she specially chose the most beautiful one.
If it weren’t for the original host, Jia Lan wouldn’t have suffered these grievances.
So when Shen Tang saw Jia Lan appearing here in the middle of the night, she was very surprised, looked around, and confirmed that there was no one else around.
She approached and teased, “Wouldn’t it be that you came here on purpose to find me? Worried about me p>
Jia Lan sneered, “Don’t flatter yourself, I’m just passing by p>
“Haha, this place is so far from the camp, you just happened to pass by the armored vehicle for females, do you believe your own words? Or are you looking for another female p>
“Does His Highness need to seek out others? It’s always others who send themselves over voluntarily p>
Saying this, Jia Lan narrowed his long blue eyes, disdainfully scanning her face, even more satirical, “Tonight, I’m on patrol, happened to come here to check if you died p>
Shen Tang’s mouth twitched, this man’s words are truly unpleasant!
“What, I’d die, so you can find the next one p>
This fish just can’t stop talking about divorce!
Shen Tang suddenly remembered him and that mistress, wondering how their feelings were progressing after that day, with a sarcastic curl of her lips, “Weren’t you clamoring for a divorce before? So, have you thought it over today? Want to find a deserted place to kneel before me p>
“You should really sew up that mouth of yours, being mute would be best p>
Jia Lan chuckled, not angered.
His azure eyes hesitated slightly as he scanned Shen Tang again, his loathing barely subsiding, with a hint of surprise.
“How come I find you suddenly thinner?” Jia Lan suddenly leaned forward, pinching her chin, examining repeatedly, confirming he wasn’t mistaken.
This fat woman was indeed thinner, her skin tight and smooth, even those disgusting fat marks on her body like crawling insects had disappeared.
He had seen her that afternoon, and she hadn’t changed so much in such a short time p>
How did she do it?
“Did you have liposuction?” His gaze probing, meaningful.
She was so ugly before.
Tonight, she appeared a lot more pleasing.
Recalling these days, the changes on this fat woman made him incredibly puzzled.
Jia Lan cannot deny, he indeed developed a bit of curiosity about this fat woman, what secret does she have hidden?
Being too close, Shen Tang could smell the fresh ocean scent from the young man, making her dizzy, but she remembered his former attitude, leaving her speechless.
He previously wouldn’t even give her a glance out of disgust, and now he would actually touch her actively.
“What has it to do with you, ex-husband!” Shen Tang slapped his hand away and fled.
She didn’t have a good excuse yet, but sometimes, the more a mystery lacks an answer, the more it attracts people.
When a man becomes curious about a woman, he is not far from falling.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, Jia Lan affinity +20 p>
Upon hearing the system broadcast, Shen Tang’s mouth twitched.
This mermaid really is a looks-centered!
Her spiritual power awakening, such a crucial matter, only added 15 affinity points, and slightly improved appearance directly added 20 affinity points!
Shen Tang patted her face, planning to find Xiao Jin, didn’t expect to encounter Shen Li halfway.
Shen Li’s gaze landed on Shen Tang, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he didn’t question further, handing her a milky white Crystal Stone.
“What is this?” Shen Tang was surprised, didn’t expect Shen Li would give her a gift, seems he came to find her on purpose.
“You’ll know after you take it.” Shen Li’s tone unchanged, “Originally, this was meant for you, but before p>
He glanced at Shen Tang, no longer speaking. Shen Tang understood his meaning, the original host squandered recklessly, gift her good stuff today, and it turns into casino ransom by tomorrow.
The system already told her, this white Crystal Stone is for nourishing spiritual power, a rare treasure.
Shen Tang wasn’t fussy, promptly swallowed the white Crystal Stone.
The stone instantly melted into a warm stream, merging into her limbs, finally gathering into the Spirit Tree sapling in her sea of consciousness.
The sapling visibly grew a little.
On the personal attribute page, skill tab, her spiritual power rose from 1% to 5 p>
An improvement not very large but an unexpected delight.
The system told Shen Tang, now rescuing an S-level Beastman wouldn’t cause her to immediately faint.
Shen Tang hadn’t had time to thank him, Shen Li spoke first, “When did your spirit recover? Why didn’t you tell us p>
Shen Tang casually made up a reason, “I felt it vaguely these days, didn’t expect it really recovered, but only at C-level, maybe it’s just a flash in the pan p>
“I know.” Shen Li had heard about her test, at least it’s better than before.
Shen Li’s gaze fell on Shen Tang’s face, suddenly noticed her pimples were nearly gone, fat diminished a lot, features appeared less squeezed, looking quite pleasing.
Shen Li didn’t even notice his tone towards Shen Tang became less cold.
But, absolutely devoid of other feelings.
He spoke coolly, “Didn’t think you’d actively step up to save Xiao Jin today, this Crystal Stone, consider it as thanks p>
Implying not to overthink.
Shen Tang, “You are my Beast Husbands, providing spiritual comfort for you is what I should do p>
Shen Li was about to turn and leave, hearing the voice behind him, he paused on the spot, his charming red pupils slightly contracted, suspecting he heard wrong.
Shen Li already sensed suspicion towards the changes in Shen Tang these days, at this moment his gaze on her carried even more profound scrutiny.
The frantic Beastman is extremely dangerous, even if Shen Tang’s spiritual power truly recovered, there’s still risk of injury.
This fat woman has always been selfish and cowardly, yet she resolutely saved Xiao Jin, and tonight said such words.
Did she take the wrong medicine?
Or truly turned a new leaf?
