Chapter 112: Chapter 112 - 106: Divorce

Shen Tang felt a pang of disappointment in her heart—did he just leave like that?

Could it be that her earlier words had hit Shen Li’s sore spot.

Ah, she was too impatient.

Haste makes waste, as they say.

After pouring Shen Tang a cup of hot water, Shen Li found an excuse to leave.

Shen Tang completely abandoned her thoughts.

As she stepped out of the room, she unexpectedly bumped into a figure.

Xue Yinzhou stood not far away, staring intently at her, half of his slender form hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to read his expression.

"Do you need anything? Are you here to see Shen Li or..." Shen Tang swallowed hard and instinctively took two steps back.

To be honest, she was a bit scared.

Even as she asked, she was quite aware that this snake was definitely not here to see Shen Li. The two of them hardly had any interaction, let alone spoken a few words. Xue Yinzhou wouldn’t have come all the way to the room looking for Shen Li.

This snake beast must be here for her.

Shen Tang recalled the unpleasantness in the kitchen, fearing that Xue Yinzhou might be embarrassed and angry, about to lose control again.

As she looked for an opportunity to flee, Xue Yinzhou suddenly stepped forward, pulling out a long whip.

Shen Tang was dumbfounded.

What was the situation here?

Xue Yinzhou took off his shirt, revealing his perfectly sculpted body.

His build wasn’t as overly muscular and robust as Xiao Jin and Lu Xiao’s, but it carried a hint of explosive power more than Shen Li and Jia Lan’s well-proportioned silhouette.

Broad shoulders, a narrow waist, firm muscles, skin cool white, flawless without a single blemish.

But upon closer inspection, Xue Yinzhou’s body bore many fine scars, the kind that seem to have been there for a long time, gradually fading over time but never disappearing.

The last time Shen Tang glanced from afar, she didn’t notice these details.

Witnessing them now, she was taken aback by how many he had.

Were these...left by the original owner?

Fixing his gaze upon her, Xue Yinzhou spoke in a low voice, "I know you harbor resentment towards me. You can vent it out on me, until you’re satisfied."

Xue Yinzhou recalled how Shen Tang detested snake beasts, yet was infatuated with him, imprisoning him in a basement back then, just to see his face in tears, begging.

However, he never satisfied her perverse desires, leading to the deterioration of their relationship.

Now, he wanted to try saving it.

"Don’t you like to torment me?" Xue Yinzhou took a step forward, handing her the long whip with hooks, "Start now, I won’t resist."

Shen Tang was terrified, the whip felt like a burning hot potato in her hand.

Her hand trembled, and she tossed the whip to the ground, hurriedly speaking, "I don’t think that way!"

What madness was this snake on?

If she dared to hit him, wouldn’t he kill her?!

Besides, Shen Tang didn’t have such a twisted hobby!

Xue Yinzhou looked at her with confusion; she wasn’t even interested in his body?

He hesitated, then spoke softly, "What do you want to do, to accept me again?"

Shen Tang was stunned; she didn’t think Xue Yinzhou would notice.

Though she never deliberately ignored him, she had indeed maintained a certain distance, never initiating to be close.

Even Xiao Jin and the others noticed that Xue Yinzhou was constantly excluded.

He was merely a Beast Husband in name.

Shen Tang looked at him earnestly,

"Actually, I’ve already planned to divorce you."

Xue Yinzhou’s body suddenly stiffened.

He stared dumbfounded at Shen Tang, his dark purple eyes swirling with complex emotions, thinking he misheard.

She was obviously clingy and entangled with him, how could she just let go so easily?

She was intentionally saying this, wasn’t she?

Shen Tang opened the divorce agreement she had prepared long ago from the Light Computer, showing it to him.

"Take a look. If there’s no problem, let’s get divorced."

"I set you free."

Shen Tang truly meant it, which is why she had prepared the divorce agreement long ago, only never found the right opportunity to bring it up with him.

Xue Yinzhou’s natural talent is strong, his superpower unique. He should have achieved greatness, but the original owner imprisoned him for selfish desires, attempting to extinguish his wild nature, hindering his strength’s further progress. This was tragic for a male beastman yearning for freedom.

Originally, Shen Tang kept Xue Yinzhou by her side because the Beast Husbands were all disgusted by her, leaving her unprotected. As long as this Hidden Guard didn’t lose control, it was a layer of security.

But now, Xiao Jin has fallen for her, and he would surely protect her wholeheartedly.

Shen Li and Lu Xiao wouldn’t ignore her either.

Xue Yinzhou’s role as the personal Hidden Guard became somewhat awkward.

He was no longer necessary to stay by her side.

Moreover, Xue Yinzhou was not Shen Tang’s target to pursue anymore, constantly seeing her flaunt with the Beast Husbands made Shen Tang also feel uncomfortable.

Looking at the ten-page divorce agreement, Xue Yinzhou realized she had long decided, wasn’t deceiving him, nor acting on impulse.

She made up her mind to divorce him long ago.

That’s why her attitude towards him had been so cold these days.

Because in her heart, he was no longer her partner.

Xue Yinzhou couldn’t utter a single word; this was what he always wanted, but now, he found the agreement irritatingly obstructive.

He suddenly recalled her words that day.

She said when they returned to the Empire, she would set him free.

At the time, Xue Yinzhou thought it was merely a whimsical ploy of expediency by the female, unexpected that she genuinely intended it.

She fulfilled her promise to him.

Xue Yinzhou’s voice was hoarse, "Are you really planning to divorce me?"

Shen Tang was startled; wasn’t this snake beast always wanting to divorce her?

She presumed that after receiving the divorce papers, Xue Yinzhou would hastily sign them and leave, both going their separate ways, never meeting again.

Yet seeing his expression now, he seemed somewhat lonely.

But her mind flashed back to that day he pushed her off a cliff and with his tail wound tightly around her, the icy sinister gaze as she drowned.

Shen Tang shivered, and keeping her eyes downcast, she softly said,

"Yes."

"Once I return to the Imperial City and find the key, I’ll unlock the chip for you, never to threaten you again."

"You just have to sign this divorce agreement, I’ll set you free, and from now on, we will have no relation."

Xue Yinzhou suddenly chuckled, "Shen Tang, aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?"

Shen Tang trembled, retreating several steps, "I promised to set you free! If you still think it’s insufficient, I’ll compensate for the harm I caused before... Do you need money? I can give it to you!"

With that said, she opened her Light Computer account.

Her account contained over a billion Star Coins, she might as well give it all to him, enough for his lifetime!

"I don’t need this." Xue Yinzhou suddenly moved closer.

Just then, Shen Li returned.

Shen Li’s expression changed abruptly, swiftly pulling them apart, shielding Shen Tang behind him with a cold face, "What are you trying to do now?"

The commotion here also alerted Xiao Jin and the others.

The three Beast Husbands hurried over, saw the scene, their faces subtly changed, all thinking Xue Yinzhou was trying to take a lethal move on Shen Tang again.

Xiao Jin cursed coldly, "This damn snake is really haunting, constantly coming up with nasty tricks, a male wanting to take a lethal move on a female, when will you be satisfied?"

Shen Tang hastily explained, "No, you’ve misunderstood, Xue Yinzhou didn’t want to kill me."

She didn’t know what Xue Yinzhou intended, but Shen Tang didn’t sense any murderous intent from him.

"Then what are the two of you here for?" Shen Li frowned suspiciously.

Looking around, Shen Tang noticed Beast Husbands were all present, it was a good opportunity.

"Just in time, I’m announcing something."

"From today on, I will terminate the relationship with Xue Yinzhou."
