Chapter 260: Chapter 260 - 252: Whose Tent Will You Visit Tonight?
Shen Tang supported Jia Lan back to the tent to rest.
Xue Yinzhou, with nothing to do, decided to take a team to scout around nearby, checking if there were any rebel spies left undiscovered.
On their way, they encountered refugees in distress. He pointed them in the right direction, guiding them to this centralized makeshift refugee camp for healing and treatment, where there was also plenty of food and water available.
The refugees were overjoyed and hurried over.
In just half a day, several groups of refugees arrived at the camp with their families, keeping Shen Tang and Doctor Goya extremely busy, frantically managing without a moment’s rest.
When Xiao Jin brought his team back, he saw Shen Tang not far away, squatting on the ground, concentrating on healing a wounded person.
As she finished the treatment, she wiped the sweat off her forehead. After squatting for so long, her legs felt a bit swollen when she stood up. A pair of long and strong arms lifted her up horizontally, holding her steadily.
Shen Tang exclaimed in surprise, looking up to see Xiao Jin’s handsome face with a masculine sword-like brow, deep and cold, narrow golden eyes, and a high-bridged nose. His thin lips were slightly lifted, always seemingly carrying a faint smile, with well-defined jaw lines, familiar and strikingly handsome as always.
However, having just returned from the battlefield, he looked a bit disheveled, with several scars on his face and nose, making his golden eyes even brighter and more intense. His appearance wasn’t diminished but instead carried a raw, wild appeal.
Especially when Xiao Jin saw her, he smiled broadly, revealing a dazzling grin. His eyes were as bright and captivating as the sun, making Shen Tang pause for a moment.
"Tangtang!"
Unable to express his longing in words, Xiao Jin resorted to his usual actions, wrapping his large hand behind Shen Tang’s head and bending down to passionately kiss her soft, rosy lips.
The kiss was tangled and inseparable.
Shen Tang almost couldn’t breathe.
The male beastmen in the team, witnessing the scene, were elated, despite being injured, they released a few excited cheers.
"Let me go!" Shen Tang’s face flushed red, annoyed as she twisted on his strong arms.
Xiao Jin winced in pain, sucking in a breath of air before hastily letting her go, his gold eyes looked at her mistily, "Tangtang, do you want to murder your husband?"
"Put me down quickly. I’ll help you heal first." Shen Tang glared at him in embarrassment and rage, knowing that this stupid leopard loved to put on a brave face, especially in front of others. No matter how badly injured he was, he always pretended to be fine.
Seeing him like this, Shen Tang was more certain that his injuries were definitely more serious than they appeared on the surface.
Doctor Goya, with insightful timing, came over with others, smiling, "Those who need treatment, come over here, I’ll help bandage your wounds."
The injured Beastman Warriors quickly went over.
Soon, everyone nearby had left, leaving only the two of them.
Having nothing to hide anymore, Xiao Jin lay on the ground obediently, pulling her soft hand to his waist, "I’m injured here..."
Shen Tang slapped away his restless paw, rolling her eyes helplessly, "Behave, don’t mess around."
This dog of a man had used the same trick many times, she wouldn’t fall for it easily again.
Now was the time for serious business; she wasn’t in the mood to do anything else with him.
Xiao Jin let out a suppressed groan, looking pitiful, "I, I’m really injured here, it hurts."
With that, he lifted his shirt, revealing his firm, lean waistline.
There were hardly any intact places on his body, and his right leg was unnaturally bent, like the aftermath of being forcibly healed with a potion after breaking.
Especially the wounds on his abdomen and chest, which were severe, with several deep claw marks cutting to the bone.
No one knew who he fought with, but the wounds were toxic, with several pieces of flesh blackened and rotting. Not even a healing potion could be used.
If an ordinary beastman suffered such a severe injury, they probably wouldn’t be able to stand, only to be carried back. Yet, he still led his team back personally, damn, he really has a charmed life!
Xiao Jin usually wore black tight T-shirts, making it difficult to see how severe his injuries were. The chaotic scent of blood on him suggested to Shen Tang that his injuries were serious, but she hadn’t expected it to be this bad.
And he still had the mind to flirt with her, this dog of a man really...
Was using all his energy for this!
Shen Tang quickly finished treating his wounds.
Before long, Xiao Jin was back to being lively, showing no signs of his previous condition.
As Shen Tang stood up, he pulled her waist, pressing her down on top of him. Just as he was looking for an opportunity to do something, she slapped him away and sent him back to the tent to rest.
Not long after, Lu Xiao and Shen Li also returned with their injured subordinates.
They both had injuries as well, but luckily none were too severe.
After Shen Tang treated the two, they too went back to their tents to rest.
Shen Tang and Doctor Goya were incredibly busy, rushing around without even time for a drink of water. Fortunately, the situation had stabilized for the time being, but they still couldn’t let their guard down.
The remnants of the rebel army continued to camp outside the city, not retreating yet. Their momentum wasn’t as strong as before, but Shen Tang felt that things might not be as simple as they seemed.
A main general inquired whether they should seize the opportunity to eliminate the remnant forces of the rebel army.
"We shouldn’t act rashly. Don’t chase a cornered enemy," Shen Tang sternly refused.
Simultaneously, she ordered the main generals of the leading teams to remain calmly guarding the city, taking this chance to recover and restore their military strength.
The rebel army wouldn’t be easy to completely crush. In the original story, Zaxxis was an extremely cunning and deceitful person. They couldn’t act without careful consideration. For now, defending would be the most secure strategy.
As long as they held the city gate, no matter what the rebel army tried, they wouldn’t easily break through.
Shen Tang commanded, "The rebel army is also heavily wounded; they likely won’t make any major moves in the next three days, but they might secretly test us. During this period, everyone should stretch and relax, but don’t slack off completely... Each division will take turns standing guard, and any unusual activity should be reported to me immediately."
"Yes!" The major generals obeyed.
Shen Tang looked over the exhausted large troop in front of her, her voice gentle as she reassured them, "The situation is much better than a few days ago. Everyone, take the time to rest well, have a good sleep!"
Xiao Jin and other beastmen warriors, hadn’t closed their eyes for days. Even with their strong physiques, it was difficult to endure such intense battle and they needed a good rest.
The twilight was setting, stars beginning to dot the sky.
The night breeze was a bit chilly.
After arranging everything, Shen Tang had just about returned to the tent when Xiao Jin approached, holding her in his arms, whispering near her ear, "Tangtang, have you forgotten something? It’s been a while since you gave me any mental comfort. Come to my tent tonight!"
Since leaving the polluted area, the pollution levels in Xiao Jin and the others decreased, and with Shen Tang occasionally providing them with ’night comfort,’ they no longer needed separate mental reassurance on a regular basis.
However, after prolonged battles, the mental agitation levels in beastmen would rise significantly. Xiao Jin clearly felt the unrest in his body, desperately craving the comfort of a female.
Just then, Jia Lan also stepped out of the tent, his delicate and cool face a bit pale and weak, lightly coughing twice, clearly more severely injured than Xiao Jin.
His blue peach blossom eyes were as deep as the sea, looking at Shen Tang with unspoken words, his thin lips slightly moving, "Tangtang, I also need mental comfort. Come to my tent tonight."
Hearing the commotion, Shen Li and Lu Xiao also came out of their tents.
Shen Li gently swayed his fiery, fluffy fox tail, his narrow fox eyes alluring, his voice mysterious and seductive, "Little Tang’er, Brother Li also really needs you, you want to sleep with me tonight?"
Lu Xiao didn’t speak but looked at Shen Tang with deep eyes, the meaning clear without words.
Xue Yinzhou also approached and directly asked her, "Whose tent are you going to tonight?"
