Chapter 164: Chapter 164 - 158: Entering the Spiritual Illusion Realm

Xue Yinzhou’s body was surrounded by thick black mist, filled with an ominous aura that inspired fear.

Suddenly, he transformed into his true form—a giant snake—and rolled around madly on the ground, his thick tail thrashing and demolishing walls and trees alike.

Shen Tang was nearly hit and hurriedly used her Earth Element Ability to evade.

She shouted angrily, "Xue Yinzhou! Get a hold of yourself!"

This cry not only failed to stop Xue Yinzhou but also helped him spot her, the lone escapee.

The upper body of the White Snake rose towering five or six meters high, and with a hiss-like scream, he swiftly lashed his tail towards her.

"Ah!"

Shen Tang’s face turned pale with fright as she began to run.

The thick tail wrapped around her, suspending her high in the air, the force almost suffocating Shen Tang, her bones aching intensely as if to shatter.

Her entire body was drenched in cold sweat as she lowered her gaze to meet the terrifying crimson serpent eyes, almost drawn into two thin lines.

These eyes had completely lost rationality, replaced by extreme, violent killing intent and beastly nature!

Even more terrifying and dangerous than the black-clad man from earlier!

The system issued a danger warning, [This is bad, Host, I’ve detected Xue Yinzhou’s Frenzy Value increasing rapidly. It has now broken through to 90 with no signs of stopping; within three minutes, he will suffer a complete mental collapse and lose control!]

"How did it come to this?" Shen Tang’s lips turned white.

The system explained, [After Beastmen advance, the significant fluctuations in their internal power can easily trigger mental instability, let alone Xue Yinzhou who just went through a life-and-death struggle—it’s surprising he didn’t go mad on the spot with such a double buff stack.]

[The original host never provided any mental comfort for Xue Yinzhou; he’s suppressed it for too long, and when it finally erupts, it’ll be very tricky!]

Shen Tang was unsure if she could provide mental comfort to Xue Yinzhou now, given their vast difference in power; using an inhibitor seemed more reliable.

Luckily, she had a few samples of inhibitors in the space.

Shen Tang hurriedly retrieved an inhibitor from the Light Brain Space and swiftly injected it into the snake tail coiled around her waist.

Unexpectedly, a black mist suddenly struck, knocking the inhibitor from her hand to the ground.

Shen Tang quickly retrieved another tube of inhibitor from the space.

The system chimed in, [It’s useless, Host. Xue Yinzhou has been relying on inhibitors for suppression all these years, and his body as a special venomous snake is nearly immune to the inhibitor’s components. The system’s inhibitors can provide relief but have minimal effect.]

Xue Yinzhou noticed Shen Tang’s small actions, his crimson eyes deepening as if enraged.

He pinned Shen Tang against the wall, the snake tail coiling tightly around her in an aggressive, possessive manner.

Leaning closer to her ear, his usual cold breath became tinged with heat,

"Why are you trying to drive me away?"

"..."

Shen Tang was stunned upon hearing this.

Beastmen’s mental instability reveals instincts and suppressed inner thoughts.

Why would he ask her this?

Wasn’t it him who wanted to leave back then?

Stunned, Shen Tang raised her head, meeting his bloodshot, dark purple snake eyes, turbulent with madness and danger, yet seemingly suppressing some emotion.

Simultaneously, the snake tail gently caressed her waist, exuding a hint of indescribable ambiguity.

The next second, Shen Tang’s body suddenly trembled, stiffened and shivered.

The icy tail unexpectedly lifted her skirt and slid inside!

Her mind went blank as she frantically called out to the system, "What the hell is going on? Wasn’t this guy trying to kill me all along? What is he doing now?"

Her flushed face burned red, her body tense and quivering, unable to control the trembling in her voice.

The system was also somewhat embarrassed, quickly cutting off the view, explaining [Host forgot that mental frenzy can trigger a Beastman’s mating season. Xue Yinzhou is a normal adult male beast; though he usually doesn’t show it, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t have such urges.]

[Any repressed desire for too long will eventually explode.]

[This time, losing his mind has triggered his deepest beastly nature and mating urge.]

[So now, Host understands...he wants you.]

Shen Tang blushed and gritted her teeth; the snake was not in his right mind now, driven by instinct. If he regained his senses later and realized what they had done, he’d likely be indignantly intent on killing her.

No way, she had to stop him.

The System Mall did have sedatives and anesthetic agents, but given Xue Yinzhou’s current lack of control, these agents probably wouldn’t be very effective.

Moreover, her hands were tightly bound by him, making it impossible to retrieve any agent.

Shen Tang moved her thoughts, manipulating the earthen wall above to collapse.

Xue Yinzhou, lacking rationality, still retained the instinct to avoid danger, immediately halting his actions, quickly taking Shen Tang to escape the falling debris, and the force of the snake tail relaxed as a result.

Shen Tang promptly extracted her arms, a white light appearing in her palms, attempting to dispel the black mist around him.

But she found it not very effective.

The system advised, [The gap between your powers is too significant; Xue Yinzhou’s frenzy level is too severe for ordinary mental comfort to be significantly effective unless the Host employs a more intimate method of comfort~]

Shen Tang’s face flushed; she naturally understood this perverted system was sneakily hinting at obtaining genetic samples, but given Xue Yinzhou’s current unclear mind, not to mention whether he’d become indignant upon regaining clarity, in his current frenzied state, Shen Tang dared not engage in any in-depth interaction.

If he were provoked, becoming even more excited and accidentally killed her, then what?

"No way, no way, try a different method. Is there no other way?"

The system felt rather disappointed but still earnestly explained, [There’s another way, but it’s somewhat risky; is the Host sure about going through with it?]

"Enough talking...just tell me!" Seeing the snake tail coiling and drilling in again, Shen Tang suppressed the trembling in her voice, furiously retorting.

[Thanks to the Host and Beast Husbands’ tireless efforts, the Host’s spiritual power has recovered to 20%, equivalent to A-level Spiritual Power, making you a formidable presence among the Empire’s females and enabling deeper spiritual comfort for males. The Host can try.]

Shen Tang asked doubtfully, "How does this differ from ordinary mental comfort?"

[Deep spiritual comfort allows you to directly enter the target’s mental environment, the inner world; but this process is complex. If the Host fails, not only will you be unable to provide the target with mental comfort, but your spiritual power will also suffer an irreversible, severe trauma!] The system’s voice carried an unusually somber tone.

Shen Tang had no time to contemplate further; delaying would lead this Snake Beast to truly act right there!

She immediately closed her eyes, following the method described by the system, mobilizing all her spiritual power.

A platinum mark appeared on Shen Tang’s forehead, from which a pure white Spiritual Thread emerged, piercing Xue Yinzhou’s brow.

He halted, his frenzied crimson eyes losing focus, as if caught in some memory.

Simultaneously, Shen Tang’s body fell into a coma.

Her spirit body entered Xue Yinzhou’s Spiritual World.
