Chapter 62
“Revenge?” Shen Li put down the bowl and chopsticks, looking at Shen Tang in surprise. “Do you know who the culprit is who harmed you p>
“It’s Gu Lian, she sent her Beast Husband to assassinate me p>
Shen Li’s slender fingers lightly tapped the tabletop, his smile rich with meaning. “I’m still investigating this assassination incident, how did you find out p>
Of course, the system told her, but she couldn’t say that openly.
Shen Tang stared directly at this cunning fox’s probing gaze, confidently raising her eyebrows, analyzing the situation with meticulous reasoning. “I guessed it. I had just left Jia Lan’s house and then got ambushed. How could such a coincidence happen? Everyone in the city knows Jia Lan and Gu Lian are involved. She must have thought I stole her male, wanting to irk me before leaving! If they managed to kill me smoothly, that would be even better p>
Shen Li pondered for a moment, nodding in agreement. “So how do you plan to get back at her p>
Shen Tang’s face displayed a mischievous smile, waving him over.
Shen Li hesitated for a moment, leaned in to listen, and his fiery red fox ears gently trembled under her breath, making one feel strangely itchy.
Ahem.
Shen Tang resisted the urge of the salty pig’s hand.
After hearing her plan, an unexpected look flashed through Shen Li’s narrow fox eyes, then he laughed uproariously, “Hahaha… Xiao Tang, you really are a little rascal who always seeks revenge, but brother likes it p>
In the past, she was arrogant, foolish, deceived so thoroughly she didn’t even have underwear left, yet helped others count money.
Now she’s smart, cunning, avenging her grudges without being wronged, her heart full of calculating schemes against others… truly making one like her more and more!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, Shen Li affinity +10! Please continue to work hard p>
Shen Tang’s expression slightly shifted, this sly fox’s affinity is really easy to accumulate, if only those other dog men were as easy to strategize as him.
However, Shen Tang is not interested in the affection of these men. They are merely tools for her to earn points.
Shen Tang looked out the window, a coldness flickering in her eyes. Now that the assassination failed, Gu Lian’s family must be fearing exposure, probably rushing to pack up and flee.
But it’s the perfect time for a robbery!
After eating her fill, it’s time to get down to business with the sly fox.
Meanwhile, on the other side, upon learning of the failed leopard assassination, Gu Lian’s face twisted in rage, she fiercely slapped him, “Useless, idiot, can’t even kill a female, what’s the use of having you p>
Leopard Beast clutched his swollen slapped face, pitifully saying, “You don’t know, that fat woman is very strange! I clearly shot her heart, but she was unharmed! I wanted to shoot another arrow, but Shen Li came with people, so I had to run p>
“What? Shen Li saw it too?” Gu Lian’s face turned pale, biting her lower lip tightly.
She only wanted to get back at that damned fat woman, not to implicate herself.
If Shen Li starts investigating, he’ll surely find some clues, and if traced back to her, she’s finished!
“So what should we do now?” Leopard Beast asked flatteringly.
Seeing his swollen slapped face, Gu Lian was even more frustrated and angry, her heart burning with fury, “It’s all because of your incompetence, what else can we do? Quickly pack up anything valuable in the house, we need to run now! Even if the military investigates, they won’t find us p>
“Alright, alright, I’ll pack right away p>
A dozen Beast Husbands quickly gathered their valuables from the house, rushing off to escape.
At the shelter’s city gate, a small aircraft was parked, specifically intended to transport Beastmen who completed their redemption away from the polluted area to the Empire’s safe zone.
Gu Lian’s family hurriedly carried big bags, rushing towards the aircraft.
A tall, slender figure appeared in front, blocking their path.
Shen Li stood with arms crossed, leaning against a tree, smiling as he watched them, his fiery, fluffy fox tail swaying behind, like flowing dusk. “Oh, why such a rush to leave? Why not stay for a meal before hitting the road p>
Gu Lian’s face turned pale, unable to speak from fear. How could Shen Li be here?
Could it be that their plan was exposed?
Impossible!
Even if they checked the surveillance, it shouldn’t trace back to them this quickly!
Leopard Beast stepped forward, putting on a fake smile, “How come Captain Shen Li is here? We’ve already submitted a departure request, is there another task in the city lacking personnel p>
Even as he spoke flatteringly, Leopard Beast knew that their plan was eighty percent exposed, or Shen Li wouldn’t appear here.
The hand he hid behind his back transformed into a sharp beast claw, subtly signalling other Beast Husbands – attack!
A dozen Beastmen moved positions, encircling Shen Li.
A Wolf Beast snuck behind Shen Li, its slanting eyes gleaming with ferocity, crouched legs pushed hard as it charged at him, sharp teeth gleamed with icy cold light.
Shen Li remained motionless, his handsome face adorned with a calm smile, raising his hand to conjure a Fire Blade, then flung it backward.
The Wolf Beast’s slender body was instantly pierced by the Fire Blade. Before it could utter a cry of agony, it was cleanly sliced into halves from head to toe, blood mist bursting in the air like scattered flowers.
“Wolf Roar!” Gu Lian cried out in anguish, her heart filled with fear. Seeing the Wolf Beast brutally sliced into pieces made her nauseous, almost to the point of vomiting.
Shen Li took out a clean handkerchief, wiped his hands, his handsome face still wearing a gentle smile, “I merely invited everyone to take a break before leaving, no need to ruthlessly attack, right p>
Dammit!
Who exactly is ruthlessly attacking!
The Beastmen’s faces turned extremely ugly. Even fools could see this fox was here for revenge. If they didn’t deal with Shen Li, they wouldn’t leave the city alive today!
“Attack together, kill him!” Leopard Beast roared, enveloped in invisible Wind Blades, before lunging at Shen Li.
Shen Li, being a Seventh Rank Beastman, was undoubtedly powerful, but they were also considered strong in the city. Thirteen against one, victory wasn’t impossible!
While the Beast Husbands blocked Shen Li, Gu Lian paled and hurried towards the aircraft, not noticing the earth block formed beneath her feet, causing her to fall face-first in the dirt.
The package in her hand also rolled not far, picked up by another chubby little hand.
“Oh my, so many Beast Crystals. Gu Lian, your Beast Husbands do have some skill, not all complete idiots p>
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Gu Lian suddenly looked up, seeing the face she wished could be torn apart.
Seeing Shen Tang opening the package, throwing Beast Crystals and valuables into the Light Brain Space, Gu Lian’s head spun with anger, she cursed sharply, “Bitch, give me back my stuff p>
“What I picked up along the road is mine. Where’s your proof these belong to you? Why don’t you call them to see if they respond?” Shen Tang curled her lips with a cold smile.
“Ah! You damn bitch, I will kill you!” Gu Lian scrambled up from the ground, her hair disheveled, eyes bloodshot, no longer bearing her usual breathtaking beauty, more like a vengeful ghost.
As Gu Lian lunged at her, Shen Tang’s thoughts moved, earthen walls rose from the ground, trapping the female within.
Then, Shen Tang slowly stepped forward, removed the Light Computer from Gu Lian’s wrist.
In the polluted area, there’s an unspoken rule that redemption points can be acquired through tasks and hunting alien species, or by plundering others’ redemption points.
The Beast Husbands’ redemption points are stored in the females’ Light Computer accounts.
Gu Lian realized what she intended, letting out a desperate scream, “No p>
Too late.
[Light Computer Account credited, 1.365 billion points p>
