Shen Tang really didn’t need to worry about him.
The two of them entered the inner chamber and dismissed the serving Beastmen. She personally brewed a cup of flower tea and handed it to Shen Li, "This time you’re leaving, without other matters, you probably won’t come again for a long time, right?"
Even though the two had opened their hearts and were no longer concerned about past matters, the fact was there—they were kings of two great empires, living apart, both busy with governance, and had little time to meet.
"Yes, I don’t know if Xiao Tang’er will forget me. Here’s a little something for you, so when you see it, you can think of me." Shen Li opened his palm, revealing a fiery red little fox jade carving, lifelike.
Clearly a static little object, yet the ten fluffy, long tails seemed to sway gently in the wind, full of adorable charm.
Shen Tang’s cat-like eyes widened, "This... isn’t this the one I carved earlier?"
"Hmm~ Xiao Tang’er heartlessly left it in the palace, lonely, so I saw it and picked it up."
Shen Li reversed his grip, holding one of her palms, placed the little fox in it, and then closed it, "This time, you must protect it well, don’t lose it again."
"... I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to lose it."
Shen Tang touched the little fox in her palm. She had only carved a half-finished piece when she received news of Xiao Jin and Xue Yinzhou’s incident, and hurriedly teleported away.
Shen Li finished it for her, with exquisite skills, the finished product was livelier and more beautiful than she imagined.
She said, "It’s beautiful, I love it!"
The ten fox tails behind Shen Li swayed lightly, like a blooming peony flower, emitting a hint of joy, "I’m glad you like it."
Shen Tang thought for a while, took out a black and white little cat jade carving from her space, looked up at him with a beautifully exquisite face, and said with a gentle smile, "I’ll give this back to you, so when I’m not by your side, you can look at it and think of me."
Shen Li looked at her beautiful and enchanting smile, and for a moment, his mind wandered.
His Adam’s apple bobbed, unable to restrain himself, he reached out and pulled Shen Tang into his embrace.
Leaning close to her ear, he whispered softly,
"But I came here just for you."
"..."
The Monarch of the Yiyuan Empire came for the kingdom and its establishment.
But Shen Li came just for her alone.
He didn’t suppress his feelings anymore, kissed her lips, and amidst the warm, gentle caresses, a whisper of a sigh leaked out, "Xiao Tang’er, I love you far more than you imagine..."
Shen Tang didn’t even know how things progressed later; when she came back to her senses, she had already been led to the bedchamber by this sly fox!
The reason seemed to be something like "to see her sooner, he had been traveling day and night with great exhaustion, could he have a place to stay?"
With such an endearing act, Shen Tang, being a kind-hearted girl, couldn’t bear to refuse!
The curtains drew close, and the light inside the room became dimmer, the surroundings quieter. Only the sound of their intertwined breaths and the subtle sound of water could be heard.
The man’s long hand easily bound her wrists, and Shen Tang was pinned against the wall by his single hand. With the other hand clasping her waist, the deep, enveloping kiss nearly took her breath away!
Her face was flushed, her mouth turned redder from the kiss, she mumbled indistinctly, "Aren’t you tired..."
How does he still have the strength to do this?
"Yes, I should rest." Shen Li chuckled, slightly releasing her, pulling her onto his lap as he sat on the bed.
However, she deliberately retained the cat ears and tail, which were larger than in beast form, especially her long cat tail, resembling the tail of a Leopard Beast, though thinner, instinctively curling around the man’s slender waist.
Shen Li’s smile deepened, his big hand caressing her delicate waist, moving up and down, his breath growing deeper and unsteady, "Looks like... Xiao Tang’er can’t wait?"
Shen Tang jolted, only realizing after the fact that she wasn’t wearing clothes upon returning to human form!
She was stark naked, held in the man’s embrace, this... this was like lightning striking fire, ready to ignite!
Shen Li sensed the female in his arms tense suddenly, his throat let out a deep, pleasant laugh, "What’s there to be nervous about, it’s not like this is our first time."
Shen Tang looked at him, indignant, this damn man was dressed properly, yet tricked her into undressing!
It’s like the man saw through her thoughts; he guided her hand inside his collar, slowly unbuttoning, revealing a piece of cool, firm chest.
At the same time, his other hand gently stroked her smooth back, from top to bottom, caressing the furry cat tail from root to tip—
Shen Tang let out a soft moan between her lips, tightly embracing his body, her flexible cat tail uncontrollably wrapping around the man’s long, sturdy arm, trembling lightly.
Here was undoubtedly one of the most sensitive areas for a Beastman; Shen Tang could hardly describe her body’s reactions, not to mention the longing for that aspect!
"You! Stop moving!" she said fiercely, gasping for breath.
"Hmm? Why can’t I touch it, doesn’t Xiao Tang’er love touching my tail like this?" Shen Li smiled even deeper, feigning confusion as he looked at her, his hand continuing its movements.
Shen Tang bit her lip hard, deeply burying her head in his embrace, her ear tips burning red.
Her legs hooked around his waist, surrendering, "...I want you!"
