Xue Yinzhou originally maintained a cold demeanor, but when he saw her, his steps halted, his expression slightly surprised, "Tangtang?"
Shen Tang nimbly leaped into his arms, and Xue Yinzhou bent down to catch her, lowering his head to kiss her furry little face, he wondered, "Why are you here?"
"I missed you, came to see you~" Shen Tang licked his overly handsome face, giggling, "How did you recognize me at a glance? I was planning to tease you!"
Unexpectedly, the first Beast Husband to recognize her was the most silent Xue Yinzhou!
Xue Yinzhou looked at the little cat in his arms, his phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, a smile hanging at the corner of his lips, "After all, I’ve been following you since childhood as a Hidden Guard, and a long time ago, I accidentally saw this Empire Princess show her beast form a few times, once I was even severely reprimanded and beaten by her."
Now when he talks about those past events, he doesn’t mind at all, speaking in a calm tone as if recounting someone else’s story, only revealing a bit of warm affection when looking at Shen Tang, "You look quite similar to when you were young, perhaps there aren’t many cats in the world that look like this."
However, Xue Yinzhou also hesitated for two seconds. If she hadn’t enthusiastically jumped to him, he wouldn’t have dared to recognize her.
Xue Yinzhou lowered his head to kiss its pointed little ears and extended his serpent tongue to lick them.
So cute.
And fragrant.
... Really want to eat her.
This time, it’s genuinely tempting.
Fortunately, Shen Tang didn’t know the fleeting thought of a certain serpent, otherwise, she’d be frightened!
Xue Yinzhou roamed the city while holding Shen Tang, during this governance period, the rebuilding of Nanhe City was proceeding orderly. In about a month, the basic reconstruction work would be completed.
Any Beastman who had seen Xue Yinzhou was shocked at this moment.
They had never seen this killing god show such a gentle expression!
It’s truly unbelievable.
He even smiled, and smiled so tenderly.
It’s really like the sun rising from the west!
Usually when he smiles, someone’s in trouble.
As night fell, Xue Yinzhou held Shen Tang and returned to the room to sleep.
Xue Yinzhou had no idea of sleeping in tents alongside the soldiers and civilians; he killed the City Lord and occupied the City Lord Mansion, the courtyard was well preserved, requiring no extra furnishings.
Before sleep overtook Shen Tang, she always felt she had forgotten something important.
Until midnight, while sleeping soundly, a cold and slippery snake’s tail coiled around her waist, lightly rubbing her.
Shen Tang was jolted awake! Three days were up!
She opened her eyes, staring at the view that suddenly became normal, feeling somewhat unused to it.
The room remained unlit, the moonlight outside faintly filtering through the window spilled on the floor, as the man turned over, pressing on her, with a waterfall-like silver hair cascading down broad straight shoulders, strewn over her, mingling with her black hair.
Xue Yinzhou stared intently at her, those usually aloof silver-purple phoenix eyes, were astonishingly bright amidst the swirling dark.
The skin cold as jade stained with a scorching desire.
Tightly intertwined, felt so conspicuously clear, it scalded her.
Shen Tang glanced down, her face blushing bright red, exposed entirely!
She shyly attempted to retreat under the blankets, yet his large hands firmly trapped both of hers, pressing them overhead, his voice raspy with desire, "Tangtang..."
Xue Yinzhou hugged her waist tighter, lowering his head to kiss her lips.
"I want to mate with you."
Shen Tang barely managed to utter a whimper before being pinned down.
...
Xue Yinzhou’s strength as a Tenth Rank Beastman is unquestionable, but as the saying goes, two fists can’t beat four hands, with his individual power, defeating 100,000 soldiers isn’t feasible.
However, his skills are suited for assassination, any target in his sights would surely not see the sunrise tomorrow.
"General Gao’er, General Ma Ye, each of you will lead some elite units to harass and maneuver at the enemy’s borders, the aim isn’t victory but to scatter their forces, disrupting their formation."
"Once the enemy’s morale is shaky and exhausted, I’ll lead the main forces with other Generals to confront them head-on, then we coordinate from inside and outside, catching them off guard..." Shen Tang pointed on the map, consulting and negotiating with the leaders, confirming the final plan.
Shen Tang even personally hosted a grand banquet, feasting with all the city soldiers.
The soldiers were spirited and toasted in celebration.
"This time we’ll surely capture Black Blade City, reclaim the Empire’s lost lands!"
"Long live Your Majesty!"
...
On the final night before the march, the whole city was enveloped in the tense and excited atmosphere of a pending battle.
Shen Tang couldn’t sleep anymore.
She donned her pajamas, walked into the courtyard, looking up at the bright moon above.
A vivid, breathtakingly beautiful silhouette flashed in her mind.
Shen Li had left over a month ago.
Thinking of it still aches her heart.
Their marriage bond had been annulled.
Nothing was left, not even a lingering thought, as if he’d never appeared at all.
