Chapter 346
Zaxxis stared red-eyed at the newborn little black snake in the incubator, its body wiped clean of mucus, yet still looking very weak.
His chest heaved violently, clearly furious to the extreme. The child he hoped for so long turned out to be a nameless bastard!
This damn woman bore the child of that male slave, and then dared to use this child to threaten him, making him do so many foolish things!
Zaxxis suddenly flew into a rage, smashed the incubator with a punch, and grabbed the black snake hatchling, which let out a hiss of distress.
Lying on the hospital bed, Shen Qingli just woke up from her coma, and the first thing she saw was this scene. Her face turned pale, struggling to get out of bed, desperately pleading, “No, don’t p>
Unfortunately, at this moment, she was helpless, unable to do anything.
The frail little black snake struggled weakly in the man’s hand twice before losing its breath, becoming lifeless.
Shen Qingli’s gaze turned suddenly gray, her blood flowed backwards, chilling her to the bone. Choking, she couldn’t utter a single word.
She didn’t want this child, but after all, it was the child she gave birth to personally. Zaxxis killed this child in front of her, which is different from her voluntarily getting rid of it!
Moreover, it was Mo Qi’s child!
Mo Qi was ruthlessly killed by Zaxxis, and the only child left in the world was also killed by him.
Perhaps out of anger, perhaps out of pain, Shen Qingli’s tears flowed uncontrollably, and in her heart the seeds of hatred for this ruthless man were completely sown.
Zaxxis tossed the dead hatchling to the ground like trash, turned to look at Shen Qingli’s red eyes and tear-streaked face, yet he felt none of his former tenderness and became even angrier!
He strode forward, grabbed Shen Qingli’s chin fiercely, squeezing so hard as to nearly crush it, and spat out in a sinister voice from between thin lips, “What, I killed this bastard and you’re so upset p>
Shen Qingli glared at him with stubborn hatred, her eyes shimmering with tears, unable to speak.
Zaxxis’ expression turned even more sinister, his entire body exuding a chilling coldness, “Heh, what kind of look is that? I killed that damn slave and his child, surely you won’t hate me for it! Haha, you actually have true feelings for a male beast, well then I’ll fulfill you by sending you to Hell to join them p>
Zaxxis’ palm moved down, viciously squeezing Shen Qingli’s neck, as an unloved female has no need to live!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside, followed by a warm, low voice saying, “Commander, the Necro Leader wants you to come over p>
Hearing that name, Zaxxis finally regained his sense from rage.
He let go of Shen Qingli and threw her onto the ground, casting a cold glance at her, his voice chilling and sinister, “I’ll deal with you when I come back p>
Then, he walked out of the room, spoke a few words with the beastman at the door, and then left briskly.
“Cough cough Shen Qingli clutched her neck, turned her head to look at the door.
What met her eyes was a young beastman with light green curly hair, looking fresh and slender. This was the new vice-captain Mi Li, who, due to his outstanding talent, was specially promoted by Zaxxis as his personal vice-captain, and received his heavy trust.
Seemingly sensing the female’s gaze, the young beastman glanced at her.
Shen Qingli’s features were exquisite and beautiful, her skin snowy white, but she was overly pale and haggard, with tears brimming in her eyes. However, her disheveled appearance added to her pitiful charm, making her evoke sympathy.
Whether glimpsed from afar before or this time up close, such captivating beauty and fragility were enough to stir a male’s heart with compassion.
Their gazes collided in the air, seemingly stirring up another kind of emotion.
Mi Li hesitated slightly, then entered the room to clean up the shattered glass on the floor and the dead hatchling.
He handed Shen Qingli a healing medicine.
He said softly, “The Commander’s temperament is like this, don’t take it to heart. Once his anger subsides, he should be fine p>
“I… I’m so scared… scared he’ll come back and kill me.” Shen Qingli shook her head frantically, wrapping herself in the blanket, her beautiful eyes glimmering with tears, her face covered in tear stains yet to dry.
Seeing her so delicately pitiful, Mi Li’s heart flashed with pain and pity, but ultimately he said nothing more, cleaned the mess on the floor, and then turned to leave.
At the door, he heard the female’s weak and lamentable sobbing voice, “Can you please properly lay that child to rest p>
His heart softened, he nodded slightly, and left.
The twilight fell, the night wind scattered the sunset glow at the horizon, and the wind on the city walls grew colder.
Shen Tang stood on the city wall, anxiously waiting from morning till evening.
Watching as the distant forest was slowly engulfed by darkness, she still hadn’t seen the one she longed to meet.
Her heart was full of anxiety and worry.
Xue Yinzhou was very powerful, once the chip seal was unlocked, he should be able to return safely.
But the rebel army’s base camp was full of dangers, and the other two commanders hadn’t shown up yet, perhaps he’ll encounter unexpected troubles.
Shen Tang wished she could lead the troops herself to rescue him, but now she was the Empire’s Monarch, every word and action represented the future direction of the Empire, she couldn’t be as reckless as before.
Going head-to-head.
They might not necessarily be a match for the rebel army.
Not to mention, over there was still the enemy’s territory, the Imperial Army did not have the advantage.
For now, Shen Tang could only send Xiao Jin and the others to support, hoping for a safe and uneventful return.
The sky darkened, deep into twilight.
It was difficult to see the distant scenery anymore.
Shen Tang’s eyes showed a trace of sadness, it seems Xue Yinzhou won’t be coming back tonight.
A young brunet came over to remind her, “Your Majesty, it’s late, please hurry back and rest p>
“No problem, you all go about your business, no need to mind me p>
“Your Majesty, take care of your health.” The beastman left and continued to patrol.
Shen Tang stayed in place, waiting a long time.
The pitch-black sky was studded with stars, the night breeze of late winter still bone-chilling cold, Shen Tang wrapped herself tighter in her coat, her nose turning red from the cold.
When she couldn’t endure it anymore, sighed, and turned to leave.
A pair of long, strong arms suddenly embraced Shen Tang from behind, the domineering aura wrapped around her fully, cold lips forcefully kissed her.
Feeling the familiar aura of the man, Shen Tang’s tense heart suddenly relaxed, her beautiful eyes brimmed with tears, she closed her eyes tightly, embracing him, responding passionately to his demand.
Xue Yinzhou’s breath grew hurried, his aura fiery, feeling like his body was about to be ignited by her passion!
Not far away, the night guards saw this scene, all shyly turned away, not daring to look more, dutifully avoiding.
Shen Tang bit hard on his lip, as if punishing him, pushing him away.
She was about to cry out of anxiety, “Why are you only coming back now? Do you know how worried I’ve been about you these days? You sneaked away to the rebel army’s base without a word, what if something happened? Have you ever thought about the consequences p>
This nagging inquiry, heard by Xue Yinzhou, yet felt long-lost warmth.
He lowered his head, looking at Shen Tang’s tearful eyes, under the moonlight reflecting a glimmer, causing his heart to ache slightly, but soaked in gentle love, as if he had melted into a pool of spring water.
He pulled her hand to his heart, lowered his head to kiss her eyes, using his warm snake tongue to gently lick away her tears at the corners, comforting her, “Rest assured, I’m fine p>
“I said I will protect you forever, nothing will happen p>
