Chapter 177: Chapter 177 - 171: Dining Table Turmoil

Xue Yinzhou stared straight at her, his cool and deep voice carrying a hint of huskiness.

He showed no intention of leaving.

Shen Tang’s pretty face was as red as the sunset. This Snake Shedding was as thin as a cicada’s wings and still semi-transparent. Wearing it as underclothes inside outerwear was fine, but wearing it for someone to see, that was just too...

It felt a bit like some kind of lingerie.

Even with Xiao Jin and the others with whom she’d had intimate encounters, Shen Tang would still feel shy wearing such clothes in front of them, let alone with the newly accepted Xue Yinzhou.

She coughed lightly, ambiguously saying, "Maybe next time! I’ll wear it for you when there’s another chance..."

But Xue Yinzhou seemed not to catch her implication, his expression cool and attitude firm. "This is my first time making clothes for someone. I haven’t taken your measurements beforehand. If it doesn’t fit, I can make early adjustments."

With those words, he cut off Shen Tang’s refusal, leaving her no way out.

Xue Yinzhou’s silver-purple phoenix eyes grew even more fervent, as if they would melt her. Shen Tang swallowed hard, unsure of what to do, when suddenly there was a knock on the door from outside.

Immediately after, Shen Li’s gentle and charming voice came from outside the door, "Xiao Tang’er, are you still asleep? Come down and eat something quickly."

The sudden disturbance shattered the intimate atmosphere they were brewing.

The tenderness in Xue Yinzhou’s eyes instantly restrained, he coldly glanced outside the door.

Shen Tang breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily Shen Li came. The Snake Beast’s gaze seemed eager to devour her! If this continued, she had a feeling something uncontrollable might happen today...

Shen Li, hearing no movement inside the room, turned the door handle and strode in.

Upon seeing the scene inside the room, his footsteps paused, and his handsome face’s smile froze, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

The two were disheveled and tightly embracing.

Especially Xue Yinzhou, his upper body was completely bare, revealing a sculpted, beautifully perfect body, his hand closely wrapped around Shen Tang’s waist, their bodies pressed tightly together, as if ready to engage in something special at any moment.

Shen Li took a deep breath, quickly sniffing the air, relieved to find no odd smell.

It seemed things hadn’t started yet, halted forcefully by his interruption.

Shen Li looked at Xue Yinzhou with a half-smile, scratching his chin, seemingly deep in thought, "Strange, how do I remember it’s not the Snake Beast’s mating season now..."

Xue Yinzhou shot him a cold glance, his gaze sharp as a knife, carrying a faint murderous intent.

Shen Li seemed oblivious, turning to Shen Tang, smiling enchantingly, "I hope I didn’t interrupt Xiao Tang’er’s pleasant affair~"

Shen Tang quickly got off Xue Yinzhou, blushing, and marched towards Shen Li at the door, "You didn’t interrupt. We weren’t doing anything. He just came over to give me some clothes! I was just thinking about going downstairs to eat!"

Shen Li nodded knowingly, wrapping his arm around Shen Tang’s waist, whispering with a chuckle in her ear, "Mm-hmm, indulging in broad daylight is too exhausting. Fill up on food first, gather your strength, then you have the energy to do bad things."

Shen Tang felt her ears burning, turning to glare at this sly, seductive fox, always feeling like he was sneakily making sarcastic remarks!

Xue Yinzhou frowned but said nothing more, quietly saying, "You go eat first."

Shen Li cast him a calm glance, a gentle smile at his lips, "At least someone has a bit of conscience. Xiao Tang hasn’t eaten much all day and ran out in the middle of the night to comfort you. If things get rowdy, her body can’t take it."

Xue Yinzhou’s expression grew colder, his eyes falling on her, a faint hint of pity appearing.

He had waited so long, he didn’t mind waiting a few more days.

Retorting sharply, "None of your business."

With smoke rising between the two, Shen Tang didn’t want to be drawn into a chaotic scene, quickly heading downstairs to eat.

Meanwhile, she wondered in her heart: How did Shen Li know she sneaked out last night?

Could it be that the other Beast Husbands also know?

Shen Tang went downstairs, finding the three Beast Husbands at the dining table, the dishes barely touched, the atmosphere carrying a bit of subtlety.

Unlike before, an extra stool was added beside the dining table, placed at the farthest from her usual seat.

"..."

Xiao Jin helped her pull out her chair, dominantly saying, "Hurry over for dinner, sit by me!"

He seized the initiative, taking the best spot right next to Shen Tang for serving, so the others didn’t bother competing with him and just kept sitting like that.

Jia Lan took Shen Li’s place when he went upstairs to call her, sitting to Shen Tang’s left.

Lu Xiao saw Xue Yinzhou coming out of Shen Tang’s room, but his always imperturbable, cold face still showed no emotion, merely stirring the broth in his hand endlessly.

Jia Lan noticed Shen Tang waking up close to noon, a shadow crossing the blue peach blossom eyes.

With the Beastman’s acute hearing, let alone them constantly keeping an ear on her movements, they naturally knew she sneaked out last night, they just didn’t expect her to go find that Snake Beast.

All in all, Xue Yinzhou had walked this path with them, Jia Lan and the others could accept his return, just seeing Shen Tang care about him like this, they felt somewhat jealous.

Shen Tang had just sat down beside Xiao Jin and was handed a steaming hot meat bun.

The bun was all crooked and not very appealing.

Shen Tang turned to Xiao Jin, giggling, "Is this made by you?"

Lu Xiao’s cooking wasn’t this bad.

Xiao Jin saw her teasing smile, his handsome face uncharacteristically flushing a bit, embarrassed and defensive, "My first time making them, my skills are a bit raw, not very nice-looking but try the taste, it’s absolutely delicious! I hunted the Long Mountain Pig meat this morning for this, females love this meat! Caught it just for you!"

Shen Tang found it amusing, yet felt her heart sweeten; this leopard once hated the kitchen most, he even declared his hands were born for guns, how could he work as a cook? Unexpectedly, because she liked buns, he’d take the initiative to help make them.

She took a bite of the meat bun, her eyes lighting up, unexpectedly this ugly-looking bun tasted wonderful.

It seemed Xiao Jin had also kneaded the skin himself, a bit thick, but the dough was soft and fermented well, with the filling of distinctly granulated vegetables and meat, one bite was salty, savory, and soft, extremely satisfying!

Xiao Jin, seeing Shen Tang enjoy eating, eagerly gave her a few more meat buns, while his long leopard tail sneakily hooked around her waist, his voice slightly aggrieved, "It’s been days since you came to my room, shouldn’t tonight be my turn?"

Shen Tang raised an eyebrow at him, so that’s why this leopard was being so attentive today, he wanted to keep his presence felt by her side.

Jia Lan slapped away Xiao Jin’s restless tail, this dead leopard already sneaked in the most. Yet he dared to beg for more!

His blue eyes chilled, his tone indifferent, "In broad daylight, touchy-feely, utterly shameless!"

Then, Jia Lan tugged at Shen Tang’s clothing, face reddening and voice low, "Didn’t you want more tears, those weren’t enough, were they? I can give you more tonight..."
