Chapter 113: Chapter 113 - 107: No Debts Owed

Shen Tang’s voice echoed powerfully, causing the Beast Husbands present to fall silent.

Xue Yinzhou stared deeply at her, his thin lips pressed tightly together, saying nothing.

Shen Li’s brows slightly furrowed; he never imagined Shen Tang would actively release Xue Yinzhou today.

He had watched her from childhood, knowing her love and hate for this Snake Beast were intertwined; how could she just give up?

But seeing her determined expression and the divorce agreement she presented, he realized Shen Tang wasn’t joking; she truly meant it.

Xue Yinzhou’s formidable strength would greatly benefit the family, but recalling his repeated harm to Shen Tang, Shen Li swallowed his words of persuasion.

A bloodthirsty weapon, if uncontrolled, is most dangerous to its master!

Xiao Jin appeared surprised but quickly regained composure. One less rival was naturally a good thing for him; he hoped Shen Tang would divorce the other three as well.

Lu Xiao’s expression was calm, as if he’d long anticipated this. Shen Tang’s attitude toward Xue Yinzhou differed from the other Beast Husbands; this day was bound to come eventually.

He thought, it’s just one less pair of chopsticks for the household.

Given Shen Tang’s promiscuous nature, she might soon take a new Beast Husband. Who the fifth Beast Husband would be made no difference to him.

Jia Lan struggled to comprehend, his beautiful azure eyes fixed on Shen Tang.

Shen Tang once told him she would let him go too. He initially thought such a greedy and lascivious female couldn’t possibly let them go, but at this moment, he realized Shen Tang’s past words were genuine, not deceitful.

The ugly greedy image she once held... had drastically changed.

Jia Lan suddenly couldn’t quite recall just how vile she used to be.

Yet now, upon hearing the words "divorce agreement," a resistance arose within him, even a hint of panic.

He wondered if Shen Tang’s next sentence would be about giving him a divorce agreement too.

Had it been before, he would have gladly packed up and returned to New Atlantis to resume his noble position.

But now, Jia Lan found himself resistant to her saying the same to him.

Realizing his emotional change, Jia Lan’s face turned peculiar, his gaze complex as it fell on Shen Tang.

No way, he absolutely couldn’t end up like that silly leopard and fall for this female; he merely sought her spiritual solace.

The feeling was too exhilarating.

Making him yearn for it every night.

Jia Lan’s unique constitution made it extremely hard to find such a compatible female even in Sea Country, someone capable of soothing his mental unrest.

This female still held use to him; he couldn’t leave her so soon!

Thinking so, Jia Lan calmed his mind, his gaze once more resting on Shen Tang, finding her not as unbearably ugly anymore.

As long as she didn’t act as crazily as before, he could continue to stay in this chaotic household.

The atmosphere inside grew silent, the Beast Husbands’ expressions varied, their thoughts uncertain.

Shen Tang didn’t care much for them, solemnly looking at Xue Yinzhou, her voice distant and aloof, "I’ve made myself clear, sign the divorce agreement now."

"...Without any discussion, you’ve sentenced me to death like this?"

Xue Yinzhou’s thin lips let out a cold snicker, like derision, "Shen Tang, I initially thought you’ve changed a lot, but now it seems you’re as selfish and indifferent as before."

"You summon me when you want, not hesitating to seize at all costs; and when you tire, I’m discarded like an abandoned dog."

Shen Tang’s expression froze; she knew how much this Snake Beast hated her, hence never considered him objecting, directly speaking since announcing unilaterally would result in the same outcome.

Yet now, it seemed different from what she had expected?

Xue Yinzhou gazed at Shen Tang for a long time, making her hair stand on end, subconsciously stepping back two strides. Shen Li and the others stood by her protectively, coldly confronting him.

Only then did he withdraw his gaze.

Xue Yinzhou realized Shen Tang truly didn’t plan to keep him, his expression somber, lips twisting in a smile, "Fine, I’ll leave this home."

With that said, he turned to leave.

Shen Tang stepped forward, chasing a couple of steps, "Wait, this divorce agreement—"

Xue Yinzhou’s figure halted, his tall slender silhouette seeming even more rigid,

a cold voice came from ahead,

"It’s just an agreement, signing or not makes no difference to me."

As black fog descended, Xue Yinzhou’s figure vanished.

The tense atmosphere inside resumed its flow.

Shen Li gazed in the direction Xue Yinzhou left, feeling a tinge of regret but knowing Shen Tang’s decision was correct; keeping a time bomb nearby was too perilous.

Releasing the tiger into the wild outweighs the drawbacks.

Shen Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

With one less person at home, it was slightly unsettling at first. Yet, Xue Yinzhou was often unseen normally, his presence was minimal, and soon everyone became accustomed, life remaining unchanged as before.

Since that day, Shen Tang hadn’t seen Xue Yinzhou again. Even before, sightings of this Snake Beast were rare, though she knew Xue Yinzhou lingered nearby, sometimes catching traces of his aura. This time, however, it vanished without a trace.

An inquisitiveness arose in Shen Tang, wondering if Xue Yinzhou was still in Greenfield City.

Had he moved to another part of the city to live, or left the city entirely?

She asked Shen Li and the others several times if they had seen Xue Yinzhou while hunting outside the city, and they all said no.

Shen Tang asked the system, "Do you know where Xue Yinzhou went to now? Is he still living near Greenfield City?"

Xue Yinzhou was no longer Shen Tang’s target for strategy, but the system archive had backed up his data, and it quickly tracked his whereabouts, [The day you freed him, Xue Yinzhou left Greenfield City, heading southeast, traveling day and night for thousands of kilometers, beyond the system’s maximum detection range, unknown where he went.]

Shen Tang’s face showed surprise; she hadn’t expected him to leave so quickly and silently.

In just a few days, he fled thousands of kilometers away; it seemed he had long awaited to escape her.

Shen Tang’s emotions were mixed, recalling the southeast direction mentioned by the system, furrowing her brows slightly.

She wasn’t very familiar with the map of Beast World, only knowing there was a vast Acid Fog Swamp south of the Empire.

Could Xue Yinzhou have gone there?

Within the Acid Fog Swamp, mutant beasts and swamp creatures abound, it’s renowned as one of the five major restricted zones of Beast World.

Few live to come out.

Xue Yinzhou’s destination likely was the Acid Fog Swamp.

In the struggle between life and death, beastmen can rapidly enhance their strength.

Such perilous restricted zones are quite suitable for his training ground.

But in these zones, survival is uncertain, even the powerful Eighth Rank Beastman entering the swamp could very likely turn into a pool of blood.

Anxiety crossed Shen Tang’s mind, yet now they were no longer connected, owing nothing to each other.

Whether he lives or dies, it has nothing to do with her.
