Shen Tang hadn’t slept this soundly for a long time, as if all the fatigue in her body had been completely swept away.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes, opened them and looked out the window, the light shining through the white gauze had already illuminated the bedroom, it should be around eight or nine in the morning, she hadn’t expected to sleep for so long.
"Miss Shen, breakfast is ready, come downstairs to eat."
A knock on the door and a man’s gentle and pleasant voice came from outside.
Shu, since his disguise was exposed, no longer wore a mask, nor did he disguise his voice; it was a warm and elegant voice with the deep magnetism of a mature male, very pleasant to listen to.
Shen Tang didn’t refuse this time, "Mm, I’ll be down in a bit."
Shen Tang’s clothes were damaged in several places during the battle, and her body was covered with dried filthy blood, it smelled quite unpleasant.
After quickly taking a battle shower, she wanted to change clothes but found nothing left in the space.
She slapped her forehead, remembering that she’d given everything in the space to Shen Li, opened the wardrobe in the room, and found a few sets of clothes suitable for females that matched her body shape quite well.
Shen Tang casually took a loose light beige home sleep dress, put it on, and found it indeed fitted her well, the fabric was very comfortable too.
She dressed and went to the dining room on the first floor.
Shu sat at the dining table, his figure tall and handsome, particularly eye-catching.
He had changed out of the previously heavy dark robe into a homey off-white long robe, the belt loosely tied around his waist, his chest slightly exposed revealing a hint of cool white skin, even the refined and beautiful collarbone could be seen.
His hair wasn’t pure black either, with a hint of flaxen brown, paired with exceptionally gentle, alluring lake-green eyes, the sunlight shining on him made him seem so fresh and beautiful, yet exuding a charming tenderness.
Shen Tang’s steps paused, her expression peculiar.
She couldn’t help but feel... a bit odd.
If she remembered correctly, they only met yesterday, right? Why does this feel a bit like living together for years...
Shu turned his head, offering a perfectly suitable smile, "Miss Shen, awake?"
Shen Tang replied with a hum, sat opposite him, and began eating quietly.
She spread jam on a piece of toast and bit into it, the taste was very rich and delicious.
The croissant he baked was crispy on the outside, fluffy and soft inside, she hadn’t expected him not to be a braggart, his cooking skills were indeed good.
In front of Shu was a cup of specially brewed black coffee, he poured her a cup of yogurt sprinkled with colorful cereal, resembling food for coaxing young cubs.
"...I want to know, why is the Divine Hall so persistent in capturing me? Is it just because I escaped their control?" Shen Tang slowly stirred the yogurt in her cup, watching the cereal rise and fall.
She initially thought Shu would refuse to answer, but he unexpectedly revealed a bit, "You hold an extraordinary significance for the Divine Hall, unlike those mass-produced experimental subjects, you are a specially created experimental subject... now you are ’mature’ to them, naturally you are ready for ’harvest’."
Shen Tang’s hand paused, the description really made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
She somewhat hid it by raising her cup and sipping the yogurt, hearing the man continue, "You and the No. 01 experimental subject, whom you know as Shen Qingli, both of you were cultivated from the same gene pool. But what the Divine Hall needs is a unique, perfect mature host, so they have to conduct an experiment to see who is the most suitable final product."
Shu looked at her, "So, the Divine Hall arranged different identities and scripts for you two to be sent into the Otherworld, forcing you to become competitors. The ultimate goal is to select that one and only winner."
Shen Tang’s fingers tightened slightly, a chill spreading inside her heart, "And what does the winner get? What kind of benefit?"
Shu smiled, "As you might think, they won’t end well."
Shen Tang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, Shen Qingli had fought desperately to defeat her, saying only by killing her could she survive... now it seems that at the time, Shen Qingli definitely knew more than she did, but the insider information she knew was probably fabricated by her system.
In reality, whether they win or not, they won’t end well.
This is their significance as experimental subjects, forever unable to escape the control of the Hand of Creation.
The female’s reddened lips had a bit of snow white milk stains left on them, Shu’s Adam’s apple rolled slightly, moving closer.
