Chapter 77
Shen Li forced himself to stay awake in the first half of the night, fearing that Shen Tang might sneak into bed and try something inappropriate.
He endured until the latter half of the night.
But this female didn’t make any moves, instead, she was extraordinarily quiet.
Shen Li got up and walked to the bedside, seeing Shen Tang already fast asleep like a dead pig, limbs sprawled everywhere, the quilt kicked to the foot, not a bit of beauty.
He twitched his mouth, suddenly feeling he was overthinking.
Shen Li thought for a moment, then decided to cover her with the quilt to prevent her from catching a cold and getting sick.
A night of sweet dreams.
Shen Tang was awakened by the sound of knocking.
Meanwhile, a system prompt sounded in her mind.
[Beep! The host’s side task progress has completed 1/4, please keep up the good work p>
Shen Tang quickly woke up, turned her head to glance outside the window, the sky was clear.
The time was around eight or nine in the morning.
Shen Li was not in the room, but he likely just left not long ago.
It seemed that as long as she spent a night in the room with the Beast Husbands, even just chatting under the quilt worked.
This damn system actually had some conscience.
If she tried to force her way, these damn men would tear her apart.
But thinking of the remaining three men, especially Xiao Jin, it was still very difficult!
Except when begging for food, that guy Xiao Jin was too lazy to even deal with her, let alone spend a night with her.
Shen Li knocked on the door for a long time with no response, directly opened the door and came in, seeing Shen Tang awake, he warmly said, “Xiao Tang’er, the food is ready, quickly get up and eat, otherwise it’ll get cold and need reheating p>
Shen Tang didn’t expect food right after waking up, she thought these damn men would wait for her to cook.
She came to the cabin, Lu Xiao ladled a bowl of meat soup and placed it on the table, without needing to think, today’s breakfast was definitely made by him, not realizing this man was quite considerate!
Shen Tang, in a great mood, decided to give him a reward.
“Lu Xiao, tonight you’ll sleep with me p>
Lu Xiao’s large hand shook, nearly spilling the meat soup.
It was as if he was shocked.
Xiao Jin burst into laughter beside them, his thin lips crookedly raised in ridicule, “You really have guts, out of all people, you dare set your sights on Lu Xiao? It’s good if he doesn’t throw you out p>
Shen Tang glared fiercely at this dead leopard, always being a blabbermouth!
However, she was worried in her heart. Lu Xiao had no feelings towards her or the original host, he was completely forced into this, only because the Lu Family was loyal to the Royal Family, being close as founding ministers, the families traditionally intermarried to solidify rule.
Back then, the original host was the only Empire Princess, and unsurprisingly, would ascend as the future Empress.
Lu Xiao, as the excellent eldest son of the Lu Family, was just in a traditional marriage alliance.
Rather than marrying her, it’s more like Lu Xiao would only marry the Empire’s future heir.
And now Shen Tang was stripped of her Princess status, far away in the Empire, Shen Qingli was the true future Empire successor.
Unsurprisingly, when they return to the Empire, Lu Xiao would look for an opportunity to talk about breaking the engagement.
Anyway, they were only nominally matched, at this critical moment, he certainly wouldn’t want more entanglement with her.
Shen Tang cleared her throat, bluffing sternly, “Whatever the case, you are all currently my Beast Husbands, at least for now p>
“All along, only Shen Li accompanies me, what would that look like if spread around?
“Let’s do it like this, for fairness, you all take turns, each spending a night with me p>
Fair and square, so they can’t find fault, Xiao Jin and the others unwilling didn’t have grounds to resist.
Once everyone takes their turn, the task will be completed.
Lu Xiao gave Shen Tang a deep look, she was sharp-tongued now, utterly different from her previous foolish and brainless self, though he felt some resistance inside, he recalled that last night she didn’t cause any wild trouble with Shen Li, it should be fine.
Xiao Jin’s brows furrowed tightly, this plump chick is dreaming!
She wants to have each of them spend a night with her, dreaming during the broad daylight?
But Shen Tang’s words indeed left him with no ground for argument.
Xiao Jin felt unhappy, at worst, when it’s his turn, he would sleep in the cabin, he definitely won’t sleep with her.
Jia Lan observed these two in silence, a flicker of surprise in his deep blue eyes, naturally wanting to refuse, but the atmosphere felt off, so he swallowed his words of sarcasm.
The three of them each had different expressions, pondering something, but none refused anymore.
Shen Tang clapped her hands with a smile, “Since you all are silent, I’ll take it as agreement! Tonight we’ll start with… “
Shen Tang’s finger circled, deciding to first pick the softest target, “starting with Lu Xiao to rotate p>
Lu Xiao silently nodded, which was agreement.
The sooner it was over, the quicker peace.
That night, Lu Xiao, like Shen Li, used a floor sleeping mat, letting Shen Tang sleep on the bed.
Shen Tang wasn’t surprised, she didn’t say much, as long as sleeping in the same room worked.
The next morning, task progress rose to 50 p>
Only two hardest cases left.
Shen Tang initially wanted to pick Xiao Jin for her night’s company, but when she touched his cold, dangerous gaze, her heart trembled, so her finger slid, landing on the indifferent Jia Lan, “Tonight’s your turn p>
Jia Lan’s face turned cold and impatient, but since it was something he agreed to, he didn’t say much, snorted indifferently, and got up to leave.
That night.
Jia Lan also used a floor sleeping mat.
But this regal Mermaid Prince clearly didn’t intend to sleep on the floor.
He was imperious, issuing commands, “This Prince only sleeps in the bed, you sleep on the floor p>
Shen Tang’s mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Alright, alright, only you’re special, only you’re precious.
Her skin is thick, sleeping on the floor doesn’t matter, it’s no big deal.
Seeing Shen Tang obediently go to sleep on the floor, without acting up or making a fuss, unlike when she used to say those cringe-worthy things, his deep blue eyes showed surprise, and his gaze on her became more meaningful.
Could this female really be this well-behaved?
It didn’t seem like her character.
He pursed his lips, then made a pact.
“First, you’re not allowed to climb onto the bed, nor touch me, keep a meter away p>
“Second, no snoring, no teeth grinding, not disturbing my sleep p>
“Third… no repulsive thoughts towards me, or I’ll throw you out p>
To those knowing it seemed like they were married, to those unaware it seemed like they were enemies.
Shen Tang was so furious she ground her teeth, but for the task, she endured.
“Relax, I have no such thoughts towards you, tonight I’ll behave right here, within the floor’s domain, dead or alive, won’t step out p>
Shen Tang expressed disdain, sizing up Jia Lan intentionally to irritate him, “Looking at you, not much flesh on you, personality wise not as good as Shen Li, physique not comparable to Lu Xiao, I’d be blind to fancy you, if not for the two nation’s alliance, you think I’d marry you p>
“Shen Tang, if you’ve got the guts, say that again!” Jia Lan’s face turned cold instantly, fingers cracking loudly, clearly agitated.
