Chapter 261: Chapter 261 - 253: Embracing Left and Right, the Other Three Gatekeepers

Shen Tang didn’t think much and casually said, "Come together, I can handle it."

Calming them one by one is too troublesome. It’s easier to do it all at once. Times have changed, she can totally hold it down now!

As soon as she said this, the whole place fell silent!

The Beast Husbands all looked at her with strange expressions, their colorful eyes brewing a storm of shock.

Turns out she actually likes...

This way?

Seeing the Beast Husbands’ unreadable expressions, as if holding some kind of excitement, a sudden sense of indescribable danger arose in Shen Tang’s heart. She swallowed nervously and belatedly realized they might have misunderstood, her cheeks flushed red, and quickly corrected her words,

"I! I mean spiritual comfort! Don’t think too much!"

Under these circumstances, she had no interest in doing that sort of thing, especially with temporary tents so densely packed and people everywhere. Any slight noise outside could be heard clearly.

Perhaps they might even bump into some embarrassing scenes.

The prestige she, the Princess, had painstakingly accumulated would then be gone!

In reality, Shen Tang was overthinking it. The beastmen were very open about these matters. If they stumbled upon it, they would sincerely admire how the Princess is truly impressive and charming, able to tame five husbands at night! A model for females!

However, no matter what, Shen Tang was modern at her core, accepting her current identity, but she couldn’t accept such bold and shameful acts as a public display.

The Beast Husbands heard her explanation, their expressions returned to normal, but somehow they still felt a bit disappointed...

Shen Tang called them all into the tent.

Together, they engaged in spiritual comfort.

Pure white spiritual power floated from her body and entered the Beast Husbands, bit by bit cleansing their bodies of wild energy.

Though there are inhibitors nowadays, which have good calming effects, they are expensive on one hand, and mostly used in emergency situations or by single Beastmen without partners.

For male Beastmen with partners, unless the female cannot satisfy them, it’s rare for inhibitors to be used.

Inhibitors only calm the body’s turmoil. Having a partner provide personal spiritual comfort is double the comfort for body and mind, making them desire happiness more, and the effect is better.

Once the spiritual comfort was completed, evening shadows deepened, and the moon had risen.

Shen Tang had a tiring day and worked late into the night, feeling extremely sleepy.

She yawned, planning to send the Beast Husbands away to rest in their respective tents.

But Shen Li was a step ahead, curling his fox tail around her waist, gently pulling her into his embrace, holding her as they lay on a soft mattress.

The fluffy fire-red fox tail gently swept across her waist and cheeks, its tip swirling slightly like a lure.

"Deep in the night and dew is heavy, Xiao Tang’er will surely catch a cold sleeping alone. How can you be without a male by your side? Let me sleep with you~"

Shen Li’s embrace was warm and gentle, carrying a faint aroma. For some reason, despite having fought outside for so long, he hardly had any unpleasant scent of blood or smoke, only a clean and pleasing fragrance, making people feel relaxed and attached.

Shen Tang lay in his arms, unable to resist taking several deep breaths.

Xiao Jin didn’t look pleased, "Hey, you stinky fox, get up and don’t disturb Tangtang’s rest!"

Shen Li raised a hand, casually playing with the long hair of the female in his arms, his slender fingers like jade, smiling gently and indulgently, "Oh, has Tangtang said she wants to kick me out? This tent can hold three people, I won’t crowd her. Besides... Brother Li smells nice, Tangtang, don’t you think?"

Hearing this, Xiao Jin ground his teeth in frustration, unable to argue!

Seeing there’s room beside Shen Tang, he quickly moved to lay down, only to be flicked away disdainfully by the fox tail.

"Look at yourself, all dirty and foul-smelling, stay away, don’t get so close. You’ll stink up Xiao Tang’er, making her unable to sleep."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin bristled instantly.

This stinky fox dared to say he stinks!

Still, he instinctively lowered his head to sniff, realizing his smell was indeed unpleasant, mixed with various chaotic scents, especially the prominent scent of blood. Males might be more desensitized to these smells and not mind, but females would likely find them very stinky.

On the other hand, Shen Li showed no signs of messiness; his clothes were clean and tidy, without a trace of blood, even his fluffy fire-red fox tail was smooth and clean without a speck of dust, so elegant and noble that he didn’t seem to have been on the battlefield like a noble young lord.

Shen Tang closed her eyes, lying quietly in Shen Li’s arms, pretending to sleep, softly surrounded by his fluffy tail like lying on a soft bed.

Sorry, stinky leopard, but she preferred sleeping with sweet and soft Brother Fox!

Seeing her this way, Xiao Jin became even more exasperated, realizing he was rejected by the female. Unfortunately, there was no condition to bathe now, so he could only mutter and grumble, guarding outside the tent at night.

Jia Lan slept on Shen Tang’s left side.

Xue Yinzhou coldly glanced at him but didn’t speak further, turned away, and looked outside calmly. Finally, he transformed into his true form, lying in the corner, his long snake body encircling the tent, forming a flesh-and-blood wall.

Lu Xiao wasn’t much concerned about this kind of vying for affection, feeling a bit disappointed but not overly bothered, transforming into his beast form, and resting on the tree outside the tent with a few Eagle Beasts. Anything stirring would be immediately noticed.

In the night, all was silent.

In front of the tent, the campfire crackled and burned, warm and bright flames illuminating the tranquil night. In this war-torn wasteland, it surprisingly revealed a touch of warmth.

Yun Han stepped out of the night, paused, and stared fixedly at a particular tent.

A faint light seeped through the ajar curtain, sounding quietly peaceful in the overly silent night.

He was like a White Moth drawn to the flame, unable to control the desire stirring within him.

The Wolf Beast has strong night vision, even from this distance he could see clearly the familiar beautiful figure in the tent. She was nestled in the embrace of two larger males, lost in a sweet dream.

This scene was indescribably warm and beautiful, yet it inexplicably stung the heart.

Yun Han came to his senses, a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes, turned, and strode away.

He reached a secluded grove, summoning his troops,

"Tonight, leave the city with me."

Lin Yu was surprised, "Young Master, leaving now? Princess Shen Tang specifically instructed during the day not to privately lead teams out of the city. Should we inform her about this?"

"No need." Yun Han’s stern face hidden in the darkness, revealing no emotion, his voice cold and deep, "Tonight we’re rescuing Qingli. Shen Tang and Qingli have always been at odds, she definitely won’t agree to this. Besides, you’re my Yun Family’s army, no need to obey her."

Shen Tang may now be the widely acknowledged Princess, but she still isn’t a true Emperor. She has no authority to command the Yun Family’s guards, and Yun Family’s army doesn’t respond directly to her.

Lin Yu hesitated, "But having fought for so long, none have rested yet, everyone’s quite tired. Shouldn’t we wait for a day, rest first, and go tomorrow night?"

Yun Han insisted on leaving the city, "The rebel army is also fatigued and relaxed now. Tonight is the best opportunity for a surprise attack on the enemy camp!"

With words said to this extent, Lin Yu and the others couldn’t argue, having to comply with the Young Master’s wish.

As night fell, Yun Han led a team out of the Imperial City without anyone knowing.
