Chapter 254: Chapter 254 - 246: Figure It Out Yourself (Bonus - for Tips)
At this moment, besides being shocked, Yun Han was amazed—more precisely, stunned!
He knew that Shen Tang had awakened a second superpower, but last time it was merely dealing with a few small fry. It surprised him then, but only to a certain extent, far from being soul-stirring or unforgettable!
But this time, it’s different.
He saw clearly and could feel the powerful aura and fierce killing intent radiating from her, showcasing the mighty strength of a Seventh Rank Peak, exceeding his expectations by far!
It was the only time in his life he had seen such a strong and beautiful female beast.
She was both gentle and cold; facing the ruthless and cruel rebel army without a trace of fear. Every move she made left people deeply shocked and mesmerized!
Yun Han stood rigid on the spot, his black eyes swirling with emotion. At this moment, he didn’t know what to think.
He still remembered how disdainful he was of Shen Tang in the past, openly labeling her as a waste, an idiot, laughable, with nothing from head to toe that matched him.
But now, Shen Tang was beautiful and dazzling, silently telling him: he was wrong.
Completely wrong.
Yun Han felt a dull ache in his heart, his eyes dimmed, even he couldn’t understand why.
As if sensing the intense gaze not far away, Shen Tang, who was wiping the blood off her hands, suddenly turned her head and looked over coldly.
Her eyes still had a tinge of scarlet icy killing intent, striking fear into hearts!
Yun Han knew all too well that those were the eyes honed on the battlefield—the eyes of a hunter.
Once she saw clearly that it was Yun Han and Shen Xu, Shen Tang restrained her killing aura, frowned, and asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"
Shouldn’t Yun Han now be protecting the old Emperor with the army? Why had he privately brought people out?
She walked over, her gaze falling on the unconscious Shen Xu, noticing the wound on his abdomen had been cleaned in advance, but blood still seeped through the bandage, staining a patch red, "...Is he injured? Where are you intending to go?"
Xue Yinzhou, having finished dealing with the rebel army on the other side, also walked over. He cast a glance at the two of them, his eyes devoid of any emotional fluctuation, as if merely looking at two dead objects.
Yet the warning dangerous aura emanating faintly was particularly directed at Yun Han.
Yun Han’s deep black eyes turned slightly darker, an unpleasant sensation flashed through his heart, but he said nothing in the end.
He glanced back at Shen Tang, his lips pressed into a thin line, and stated matter-of-factly, "Shen Xu is too severely injured. I don’t have any medicine with me, I’m taking him to the hospital."
Shen Tang didn’t like the two of them, but with the national crisis at hand, personal grudges were temporarily set aside. She reminded, "The hospital has already been taken over, the doctors have all gone. It’s pointless to go now."
Yun Han frowned, "Isn’t there at least medical supplies left in the hospital?"
Shen Tang shook her head, "We just came from there, the hospital’s supplies have been completely raided, those rebels are like locusts, not fools; they’ve taken all useful things or destroyed what can’t be taken, leaving nothing for us."
Yun Han’s throat tightened, unable to speak. Shen Xu was almost lifeless, his body gradually growing cold. During the journey, he even doubted whether the person he carried had already become a corpse.
Yun Han turned silently to leave, contemplating finding a place to bury him, but Shen Tang hurriedly called him back, sighing lightly, "Forget it, lay him on the ground, I still have some healing potion in my space, it might save him."
Yun Han turned around to look at Shen Tang in disbelief, his face darkened, hesitant to act, seemingly not trusting her goodwill.
Shen Tang rolled her eyes, "If you don’t lay him down now, he’ll really die. Besides, no matter how much I dislike him, he’s been my brother for many years, he took care of me when I was young; I’m not so cold-blooded to harm him."
"Of course, if you insist on digging a grave for your good brother, I won’t stop you~"
"You!" Yun Han was exasperated by her words, and after some thought, could only lay Shen Xu on the ground.
After all, there were no other options now, it was either life or death.
Shen Tang also crouched down, looking at the pale-faced Shen Xu, whose body temperature was unusually low, but he still had a faint breath left.
Her feelings were somewhat complex, the original owner had a love-hate relationship with this brother, but to her, there wasn’t any deep-seated hatred; with the Empire on the brink of danger, she just treated him as an ordinary beastman. After all, he had Sixth Rank Peak strength, more people was more power.
Shen Tang took out a healing potion from her space.
In truth, Shen Xu’s injuries were too severe, dragged on for too long, even the world’s top healing potion couldn’t save him, so Shen Tang secretly infused a wisp of healing ability into his body.
Soon, Shen Xu opened his eyes, still weak, unable to stand, but at least his life was saved.
Yun Han was utterly shocked, he had been ready to bury him, yet unexpectedly brought back to life.
He looked at Shen Tang in disbelief, today was the second time she had surprised him.
He had no idea where she obtained such an effective healing potion that could bring back someone half-dead!
Fortunately, no matter how stunned Yun Han was, he merely thought the potion’s healing ability was great and didn’t consider other possibilities.
After waking, Shen Xu learned of everything that happened, his heart filled with extreme complexity.
He looked at Shen Tang with eyes full of gratitude and remorse, finally voicing the words he always wanted to say, "...Thank you, Tangtang, I was wrong in the past, you really are a good person, and I didn’t cherish you!"
Shen Tang’s actions paused briefly, she remained silent.
If the original owner were still here, hearing these words might make her happy.
Unfortunately, she wasn’t the original owner.
Her heart felt no ripple of emotion.
No love and thus no hate, in her view, Shen Xu was just an ordinary beastman.
"Alright, I’ve re-bandaged your wound, after resting for two days, you should be fine."
As Shen Tang stood up, noticing Yun Han about to leave, she asked, "Where are you going?"
"Revenge!" Yun Han clenched his fists tightly, eyes filled with hatred and fury, "I’m going to find the spatial entrance and rescue Qingli!"
Yun Han was deeply worried, afraid the brutal rebel army would harm Qingli, a beauty so gentle and weak, likely to be bullied, mistreated, even killed!
His anxiousness urged him to rescue her.
"Finding the spatial entrance isn’t so easy." Shen Tang crossed her arms, smirking, "Besides, rest assured, she won’t be harmed, after all, no male would bear to kill the one they love."
No matter how twisted Zaxxis is, at least Shen Qingli is a female he likes, he might punish her, and that punishment might even end up on the bed, it’s absolutely impossible he would kill her.
Yun Han, hearing her words, froze abruptly, "What do you mean?"
He glared coldly at Shen Tang, his expression a strange grimace, eyes seeming to want to kill her!
Xue Yinzhou immediately stepped in front of her, confronting Yun Han, whose entire body emanated coldness, ready to act faster if he dared to make a move!
"Don’t worry, he won’t kill me."
Shen Tang tugged on Xue Yinzhou’s hand, shaking her head, she walked up to look at Yun Han’s somber face, shrugged, chuckling, "We’re all reasonable adult beastmen, do I really need to spell it out for you?"
"If Young Master Yun can’t understand, then ponder it over."
