"Ah?" Shen Tang’s pretty face flushed with embarrassment... She knew Xiao Jin was very enthusiastic about this sort of thing, but, but not to this extent, right?
She playfully scolded, "This is the hospital, you’ve just woken up, you should rest properly, don’t always think about such nonsense!"
Usually, she would scold him a bit, and Xiao Jin would lose that intensity, but this time he was rather persistent, foolishly pecking at her lips, urgently yet plaintively, "Tangtang, just once, okay? I really want you."
Shen Tang thought it might be the effect of the mating season, or perhaps this nightmare made him feel insecure, so she shyly agreed, "Just once, hurry up then..."
This was her private ward, not much different from an apartment room, with great soundproofing, and there shouldn’t be any rude outsiders barging in.
Xiao Jin leaned in to kiss her lips, contentedly saying, "Tangtang, I love you!"
...
After a brief yet passionate moment of pleasure.
Shen Tang was inexplicably exhausted.
She hugged the man’s slender waist, slowly drifting into sleep.
From an unnoticed angle, pure white spiritual power spread from the female’s body, enveloping the man...
Shen Tang also had a dream.
To be precise, it was a nightmare.
It was as if she accidentally fell off a cliff, the sudden sense of weightlessness made her heart race and scream, the wind howled past her ears, as if it could shatter her eardrums.
The temperature then sharply dropped.
Cold, an indescribable cold.
She shivered uncontrollably, as if her blood was frozen solid, unable to move at all.
In front, all was pitch black, nothing could be seen, Shen Tang didn’t know where she was, the air was unbearably thick and heavy, with so little oxygen it suffocated her.
Vaguely.
She seemed to hear the sound of chains from afar, accompanied by the frantic roars of beasts, and the sounds of fleeing...
Finally, her consciousness plunged into darkness, nothing could be seen.
...
When Shen Tang woke up, it was still daylight outside, she glanced at the time on the Light Computer and found that just over an hour had passed.
She helped tidy up their clothes.
Xiao Jin had not yet woken up.
Shen Tang chuckled inwardly, was it really that tiring?
She hadn’t even let him exert much effort~
She stuck out a finger and poked his face, "Wake up, you’ve been in a coma for so many days, get up and eat something."
Xiao Jin did not react at all.
Quickly, Shen Tang realized something was wrong, and she shook his shoulders, her voice growing more anxious with each call, "Ah Jin, wake up, Xiao Jin!"
Xiao Jin remained unresponsive, as if trapped in a nightmare from which he would never awaken.
Shen Tang’s face turned ashen instantly, she staggered back a couple of steps, feeling as if the warmth earlier had been a dream, that Xiao Jin had never actually woken up at all...
Meanwhile, a more shocking event occurred; Xiao Jin’s power began surging violently, sometimes leaking, sometimes retracting.
His body also started rapidly inflating, the veins on his arms and neck bulged, and he resembled an inflating balloon, on the verge of some kind of mutation!
Xue Yinzhou was about to force his way in but was held back by Shen Tang, "Don’t worry, I’ll go see him alone, you stay at the door, in case anything happens, you can respond promptly."
Being a Ninth Rank Beastman with Space Mutation System and Teleportation Ability, very few in the world could threaten her. Shen Tang wanted to see what exactly Vine was up to!
Although Xue Yinzhou, Lu Xiao, and Jia Lan were worried, they had no other choice but to wait outside.
Vine was still sitting in the outer lounge, holding a cup of coffee in one hand and a research report in the other, appearing relaxed and leisurely, as if unfazed by the events outside.
He heard footsteps, put down the experimental report, looked up at her with a gentle and courteous smile, "As I expected, Your Majesty, you came."
Shen Tang coldly glared at him, unwilling to engage in small talk, speaking bluntly, "Who exactly are you?"
Vine’s smile remained unchanged, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this, haven’t you already reviewed my identity information?"
Shen Tang sneered, her gaze sharp as a knife, "Stop pretending, your identity is not that simple, how much inside information do you know, and what connections do you have with that illegal experimental base?"
"Has Your Majesty ever heard of this saying?" the young man in a white coat unhurriedly put the coffee cup on the table, making a crisp tapping sound, "Sometimes, knowing too much may not be a good thing."
He lifted his eyes, his gaze deep, "You just need to understand that I am on your side, hasn’t my great contribution to the Empire been enough proof of my loyalty?"
[Warning! Detected target loyalty value in negative!]
The system suddenly alarmed urgently.
Shen Tang’s expression changed drastically, "Fine, since you’re being vague and mysterious, don’t blame me for being impolite!"
Xue Yinzhou barged in with a team, instantly surrounding Vine.
Shen Tang approached him step by step, "There’s no escape for you now, tell me everything you know, completely and truthfully!"
