Chapter 169: Chapter 169 - 163: Back to Reality

At this moment.

The ceremony site was in complete chaos!

Everyone present was startled by the sudden situation.

During the ceremony, just after the newly appointed Princess finished her speech, in front of a large audience, and under countless gazes, she suddenly disappeared?

The stationed troops surrounded the entire auditorium, searching layer by layer, but couldn’t find her.

It was as if she vanished into thin air, never having been there.

If not for so many people witnessing it, they would have thought they were hallucinating.

The only person calm at the scene was probably Shen Qingli. This was the assassin she brought in; everything was within her plan.

However, her expression was ugly, staring fiercely at the stage, her nails digging deeply into her palm out of extreme anger and shame!

The Xue Yinzhou beside her had vanished.

At the moment that wench was swallowed by space, he also followed suit.

Shen Qingli was perplexed. What on earth was going on?!

Wasn’t Xue Yinzhou supposed to hate that wench to the bone, why meddle in other people’s business?

Could it be that he wanted to kill her personally?

It didn’t seem like it.

His actions were swift, unlike going to kill and eliminate an enemy, more like... a rescue!

Shen Qingli’s face turned pale, her heart in turmoil.

Could she have been wrong all along?

No, no, no, she didn’t want to believe it. What made that wench worthy of these males braving fire and water for her?!

Shen Qingli was filled with extreme resentment.

She was Xue Yinzhou’s savior, he should have loved her!

And the most flustered in the whole scene were Xiao Jin, Shen Li, Jia Lan, and Lu Xiao, the four Beast Husbands.

They were the closest to Shen Tang, especially Xiao Jin, who reacted the fastest, rushing up and almost grabbing her, but was still a second too late.

No one expected such an incident to occur today.

Xiao Jin saw it with his own eyes, Shen Tang did not disappear suddenly, but was instantly engulfed by something.

His eyes turned red, full of guilt, "I’m sorry, Tangtang, I didn’t catch you; where are you, come out now!"

He frantically transformed into beast form, searching the entire venue, turning over every corner and table, desperately wanting to dig three feet into the ground, yet still couldn’t find her.

Shen Li’s face was cold and stern, "It’s a Space Beastman."

Lu Xiao frowned, "Why would a Space Beastman appear here, and target her?"

The space ability is a very special power, extremely rare, with only a few in the whole Empire.

This person blatantly abducted someone from right under their noses, indicating that his power was formidable, definitely beyond theirs!

This person’s identity must be unusual, obviously well-prepared. Why target Shen Tang?

Space Beastmen can set spatial entrances very covertly, common Beastmen simply can’t find them, and it’s almost impossible to forcefully attack from the outside.

Unless, it’s breached from within the space, or there’s a space beastman of the same rank aiding in entry.

Shen Li and the others were unsure who abducted Shen Tang, but they knew she was not a match for her captor and couldn’t breach from within the space.

They also saw Xue Yinzhou rush in.

But whether he was an enemy or friend was still unclear.

The greater likelihood is that he’s an enemy.

If Xue Yinzhou and the other party were alludes, Shen Tang would be dead with no burial place.

Jia Lan was extremely anxious; he activated his Light Computer, intending to seek help from the Sea Country.

The Sea Country had a few powerful space system individuals, but it would take time for them to arrive. By then, Shen Tang might have nothing left.

Fortunately, as they were all extremely anxious, there was a sudden fluctuation in the air.

Shortly after.

A familiar head popped out.

And then the whole person followed.

Shen Tang emerged from the space entrance, but not realizing there was nothing below, she stepped into the void, falling from a height.

Shen Tang exclaimed: This is deadly!

Luckily, before she could end up breaking into pieces, she fell into a wide, fiery embrace.

Xiao Jin rushed forward immediately, catching Shen Tang, holding her tightly in his arms, his chest heaving violently, his eyes bloodshot.

He anxiously said, "Are you okay, Tangtang? Where did you go just now? Who took you? I’ll go and fight him to death right now!"

Shen Tang breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly soothing him, "Relax, I’m fine, let me go first... If you keep squeezing me, I really will be in trouble!"

Xiao Jin quickly released her, spun her around to make sure she was not hurt, letting the huge weight on his heart fall away.

Shen Li and the others saw Shen Tang return intact, also breathed a sigh of relief, quickly stepping forward to encircle her.

Shen Li gently said, "It’s a relief you returned alive; we were all very worried about you."

Jia Lan’s blue eyes glinted with ice, his voice unusually cold and deep, "What on earth happened? Who is trying to harm you?"

Shen Tang sighed, "This matter is a bit complicated; I haven’t figured it out yet. I’ll explain after we return."

After confirming she was unharmed, they noticed another person emerging.

Xue Yinzhou lay unconscious on the ground, covered in blood, as if he’d been through a murder scene.

The four of them wore varied expressions; what was his deal?

Shen Li keenly perceived that Xue Yinzhou’s strength had increased after going inside.

Originally at the Peak of the Eighth Rank, his power had risen to a Ninth Rank Beastman!

This was truly... unbelievable.

Shen Li and the others initially thought Xue Yinzhou had gone in to kill Shen Tang, but now it seemed not to be the case. Shen Tang’s strength couldn’t inflict such injuries on him.

The two hadn’t fought each other.

Unless another strong opponent, matching Xue Yinzhou’s strength, was hidden in the space.

This seemed to be the mastermind who abducted Shen Tang.

Was Xue Yinzhou protecting her?

Lu Xiao glanced at the unconscious Xue Yinzhou, eyes narrowing slightly, then turned to Shen Tang, "What should we do with him?"

Shen Tang’s emotions were complex, "Xue Yinzhou got these serious injuries saving me, let’s take him back."

Shen Li and the others, hearing her words, understood a bit.

Xue Yinzhou didn’t sign the divorce papers back then, so Shen Tang and he were still nominally legally married. As long as he wished to return, or Shen Tang agreed to let him return, he could rejoin the family at any time.

They did not know what had happened between the two in the space.

But Shen Tang’s decision to take him back today suggested she might not drive him away again after his return.

"This guy really has survived adversity and even managed to breakthrough a rank." Xiao Jin stepped forward, lifting Xue Yinzhou onto his shoulder.

He felt a bit irritated, given that too many cooks spoil the broth, and with one more family member, there were fewer opportunities to eat meat and drink soup.

However, there is a clear distinction between private rivalry among the Beast Husbands and serious matters, and when it comes to facing external enemies together, they will not resort to petty jealousy and deliberate exclusion.

The most important thing in this world is the safety of the Female Master.

No matter how unpleasant they found this Snake Beastman, they all acknowledged Xue Yinzhou’s strength in their hearts.

The family needed strong males to guard it, to better protect the females.

If they encountered such a situation again, they wouldn’t be at such a disadvantage.

As long as Xue Yinzhou didn’t plot against Shen Tang again, they were willing to accept him back into the family.
