Chapter 212: Chapter 212 - 206: Quest: Get Intimate with the Eagle

As soon as the words were spoken, the entire venue fell silent.

The Beastmen stopped their tasks and looked towards the Snow Owl Beastman, their eyes filled with surprise, "Lin Yu, are you serious? Wasn’t that useless woman stripped of her princess title? How can she still come back?"

"Absolutely true! People from the Imperial City said she embarrassed Your Majesty and the Empress before the whole nation’s populace, threatening Your Majesty to reinstate her princess title!"

Lin Yu grew angrier as she spoke, "Not only that, the ugly hag also wants to fight Princess Qingli for the right to inherit!"

The Beastmen were filled with righteous indignation upon hearing this, "Damn it, what right does that useless ugly hag have? Truly shameless!"

"She should look at herself in a puddle, she’s even more disgusting than before, stupid enough to make one nauseous!"

The man sheathed his Ice and Snow Long Sword, chuckling from beneath his cloak, "Heh, ugly people always stir up trouble, don’t bother with it."

His voice was noble and pleasant, yet it carried a heavy tone of disdain and ridicule, seemingly not caring about the matter.

After all, who cares about trash.

Yun Han looked up at the gray sky and spoke slowly, "The training here is over, we should head back."

The Beastmen’s anger subsided slightly upon hearing this, and they laughed teasingly,

"Oh~ Young Master used to stay out for at least half a year during training, but it’s only been a few months this time, and Young Master is eager to return? Seems he misses Princess Qingli intensely."

"The two tribes have been engaged for a long time, so when Young Master returns this time, he’ll marry the princess!"

"Princess Qingli is beautiful and kind, she’s the most suitable match for the Young Master in the Empire. The union of the two tribes is a great story in the Empire, countless young male beasts covet His Highness, Young Master will surely be eager to make her his own this time!"

"Speaking of which, I recall that useless ugly hag Shen Tang, tearing up the marriage contract back then was the best decision His Highness could make!"

"She must still be hung up on Young Master, afraid that when she gets back, that ugly female will cling on endlessly... otherwise His Highness wouldn’t have had to avoid her by coming to this godforsaken place."

"As if our Young Master would be kind to her? If she dares humiliate herself again, we’ll definitely make that ugly female unable to clear her name, ruining her reputation!"

"Hahaha... that’s right, we’ll just wait and enjoy Young Master’s wedding banquet!"

Yun Han thought of his beloved Shen Qingli, his mood uplifted, forming a charming, tender smile.

As for the other useless ugly woman, he didn’t care at all.

He turned to the Beastman beside him and instructed, "Clean up the game, bring it all back, and gift it to Qingli and Your Majesty."

"Yes, Young Master."

The subordinates quickly cleaned up the advanced game, extracting Beast Crystals, and storing precious Beast Bones and skins away in space.

After cataloging the spoils, the group left the Icefield and returned to the Imperial City.

...

Meanwhile, Shen Tang and Jia Lan returned to the spaceship, en route to the Night Glow Empire.

She was eating dinner when she suddenly sneezed, rubbing her reddened nose and complaining, "Who’s bad-mouthing me behind my back?"

"Maybe it’s those pesky leopards missing you." Jia Lan added dryly.

A thought of returning made his mood quite sour.

Jia Lan had privately deliberated, deliberately delaying with Jialouluo for several days.

Ultimately, they reached the day of their return journey.

He had to seize the time to genuinely enjoy their final days of a two-person world.

Shen Tang thought about being gone for almost half a month, wondering how impatient Xiao Jin and the others were at home, they’re all famished wolves! Who knows how brutal the chaotic scene will be when she returns, she shuddered quietly!

After finishing dinner and going back to her room to rest, her mind suddenly received a system notification,

[Beep! A side mission is now issued to the Host: Have intimate contact with Lu Xiao! Mission Reward: 10 tubes of Anti-pollution Serum! Mission Deadline: Within three days, please act quickly Host!]

Shen Tang’s mouth twitched, already suspecting the damn system was up to no good.

She curiously asked, "What’s the use of the Anti-pollution Serum?"

[When Beastmen are scratched or bitten by high-level mutants, there’s a certain chance of mutation; this serum can halt the mutation process, allowing Beastmen to return to normal.]

Shen Tang’s eyes lit up, this tool is very useful!

Post-pollution outbreak, purchasing serum with money is impossible.

She accepted the task, not to mention, Shen Tang originally planned to bond with Lu Xiao upon her return.

Last parting left an exchanged heart, with passion surging.

She certainly won’t leave him in suspense like before.

Shen Tang changed directions, just about to find Lu Xiao, but was suddenly caught horizontally by Jia Lan coming over.

"Urgh! What are you doing? Let me go." Shen Tang pushed against his chest, her cheeks flushed.

Jia Lan’s beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed, his voice low and hoarse, "What do you think I want to do?"

In the last few days, he certainly had to seize chances to get more benefits for himself.

Shen Tang planned to consummate with Lu Xiao tonight and wasn’t keen on getting affectionate with him, scrambling to find an excuse to refuse when, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a tall figure walking towards them.

Lu Xiao looked at them, his cold and deep face unreadable, routinely asked, "Female Master, tomorrow morning the spaceship can cross the border line, should we head straight back to Greenfield City, or make a stop somewhere?"

"St-straight back." Shen Tang felt awkward being caught by Lu Xiao in such a moment.

Earlier she saw him as an emotionless tool, upon deeper reflection, she realized every time he listened, who knows how complicated his feelings were.

"Okay." Lu Xiao finished asking, but didn’t leave, gazing at her with eyes seemingly brewing with different emotions, quietly asking, "...Female Master staying in Prince Jia Lan’s room tonight?"

"Is Tangtang going to find me, or you?" Jia Lan, showing impatience, wondered why the eagle was so oblivious today? This was clearly obvious.

Lu Xiao’s aura dropped a few degrees, his eyes ash-gray and deep calm, merely looking at Shen Tang, his lips parting, "Female Master, I was serious about what I said the other day, I can also do what others do."

Jia Lan perceived something amiss, his vast ocean-like beautiful blue eyes narrowed, and coldly swept towards Lu Xiao.

What did the two say?

This eagle seemed changed, perhaps intending to snatch someone halfway?

Understandably so, Shen Tang now has become wonderful, even if he’s Lu Xiao, he’d certainly birth other thoughts.

Jia Lan suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

Seems this sweet two-person world would prematurely end today.

Jia Lan felt a heavy heart, ignoring Lu Xiao, carried the female towards the room.

Lu Xiao’s face remained calm, fingers by his side slightly clenched but didn’t advance to obstruct.

In his education, a perfect Beast Husband must respect the Female Master’s wishes.

It’s her freedom to choose where to stay, he can’t rashly interfere nor should there be thoughts of jealousy, that’s an inappropriate and overstepping behavior.

Shen Tang originally wanted to get down from Jia Lan but seeing Lu Xiao’s calm demeanor, she felt anger rising.

She turned her black eyes, a hint of mischief brewing inside her.

A man too sensible and bound by rules, she wanted to see him lose control and go wild.

Such repression required some provocation to deeply stimulate him.

Otherwise, he’d never take initiative to show affection.

She intended to see how long he could endure.

Shen Tang turned her head, pretended not to notice the trace of longing glimmering in Lu Xiao’s eyes.

She hooked Jia Lan’s neck, her crimson lips approaching his ear, her voice sultry and intoxicating, "We’re not in the palace now, it’s not just the two of us, you~ don’t go too far~"

Jia Lan’s throat tightened, feeling his body burning up, he could no longer care for anything else, carrying her to the room, locking the door.

At the moment they vanished.

Lu Xiao’s aura instantly turned dark and cold, clenching his fists, azure eyes dimmed, intensely watching the locked door.

Ultimately, he still did nothing, turning to his own room.

All night, the sound did not cease.

Lu Xiao did not intentionally eavesdrop, but the Beastman’s keen hearing made the amorous sounds of female and male penetrate clearly in his ear.

Thread by thread, incredibly titillating.

His body reacted strangely, getting out of bed into the bathroom, with the pitter-patter of water sounding.

But it couldn’t block out the noise from there.

Lu Xiao deeply inhaled, closing his eyes, even envisioning the female’s passionate look, how seductive and enchanting she was in another male’s arms...
