Chapter 330: Chapter 330 - 322: [Unrequited Love] Completed

Shen Tang was quite surprised. Thinking of Yun Han’s hesitant expression last night, was he trying to say goodbye to her?

But he left so abruptly. Wouldn’t Old Granpa Yun be furious upon hearing this news?

The next day at the Ministry of Rites, Shen Tang actually ran into Yun Hong. The old man, with a red face, was joking and chatting with acquaintances, showcasing an energetic spirit, looking pretty cheerful.

This didn’t seem like the reaction of a parent whose beloved child had run away from home.

Shen Tang seized the opportunity to talk, "Head of the Yun Family, has Yun Han really left the Imperial City?"

"Sigh! That unfilial son left just like that, and even if I wanted to stop him, I couldn’t! Honestly, if he truly wants to leave, I can’t hold him back either." Yun Hong sighed lightly, but there wasn’t much sadness on his face, instead, there was a slight sense of relief.

Seeing Yun Hong in this manner, Shen Tang roughly understood.

No matter how stubborn that foolish wolf Yun Han was, he wouldn’t really abandon his family. From their conversation the previous night, it seemed he was letting go of the past and planning to take over the family. Before leaving, Yun Han probably left a message for the old head of the Yun Family, and Yun Hong didn’t make it public, presumably to protect his son.

Shen Tang also felt a quiet sigh of relief, as long as Yun Han isn’t looking for trouble, she doesn’t really care about the rest.

Shen Tang said, "Everyone has their own aspirations, it’s his own choice, the Head of the Yun Family shouldn’t worry."

Yun Hong chuckled lightly, "Your Highness is right! Speaking of which, this old man is getting on in years, and these past years my mind has been slowing down, it’s time to retire and enjoy a few peaceful years. This unfilial son can’t be trusted with responsibilities, giving the military power to Your Highness puts my mind at ease!"

Shen Tang froze, "...Military power?"

Seeing her bewildered expression, Yun Hong angrily slammed the table, "Could it be that unfilial son didn’t hand over the military power to Your Highness? It infuriates me! I explicitly instructed him gently the day before yesterday to personally give the family seal ring to Your Highness! If he failed in even this little thing! See if I don’t personally drag him back and give Your Highness an explanation!"

"...Please calm down, Head of the Yun Family! I seem to remember something, let me go home and check!"

Struck by a sudden thought, Shen Tang hastily took her leave to return home and find the coat she had worn downstairs that night.

The coat had two very deep pockets at the waist.

She reached into the right pocket and felt something hard.

She hurriedly turned the pocket inside out, finding the Yun Family seal ring!

Yun Han indeed seized the moment when holding her waist to sneakily put the seal ring into her pocket.

With mixed emotions, Shen Tang didn’t know what to say!

That foolish wolf really wanted to give her the seal ring, so why not hand it over openly? If she had been a bit careless, she wouldn’t have discovered it, thinking he was just fooling around.

Such an important thing given so casually, wasn’t he afraid it might get lost!

Really complicated!

Shen Tang quickly reported this to the old head of the Yun Family to assure him that the seal ring was in her possession, no need to worry.

Just then, a voice from the system echoed in her mind, [Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the side quest to win over Yun Han, earning the title "Love Unattainable"!]

[Congratulations to the host for fulfilling the original owner’s desire. The last remnant and obsession of the original owner in the host’s body will completely dissipate! The host can further modify the body, which will officially bind with the host’s soul and fully belong to the host!]

As the system finished speaking, Shen Tang felt a certain obsession within her completely fade away, an unspeakable lightness.

[By the way, host, would you like to temporarily bind Yun Han as a strategy target? This way, the rewards for winning over Yun Han will all be given to you, and if you don’t like it, you can unbind after receiving the rewards.] The system suggested in a very user-friendly manner.

Opting for the rewards was a natural choice for a clever person like Shen Tang, "Agree."

[Congratulations to the host for binding Yun Han as a strategy target!]

[Ding! Yun Han’s affinity has reached [Dislike], congratulations to the host for obtaining an Ancient Recipe Book, containing detailed recipes of delicious dishes from ancient to modern times worldwide!]

[Ding! Yun Han’s affinity has reached [Ordinary], congratulations to the host for obtaining 100 bags of Special Effect Fertilizer!]

[Ding! Yun Han’s affinity has reached [Favorable], congratulations to the host for obtaining a Resource Gift Package!]

[Ding! Yun Han’s affinity has reached [Like], congratulations to the host for obtaining a Rebound Talisman, which can rebound any physical or magical attack. This is a one-time-use item, use it wisely!]

[Ding! Yun Han’s affinity has reached [Deep Love], congratulations to the host for obtaining a war buff [War Intent], increasing the maximum combat power of your faction’s army by 15%! A Spiritual Power Crystal Stone is awarded to the host! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a special golden item: Infinite Box! The Infinite Box can lock any physical or non-physical power within, and unless actively opened from the outside, the contents will never escape!]

[Ding! Awarding the host 500 points, balance owing cleared, happy shopping to the host!]

This wave of rewards left Shen Tang dizzy and ecstatic.

Just when she needed a pillow for a nap, Shen Tang was thinking about how to teach the Empire’s citizens cooking methods. Unfortunately, her cooking skills were considered merely a small cook in the Beast World, while in the modern world, she was just an ordinary person, capable of making some common home-cooked meals. When it came to seriously studying cooking, she fell short by a lot!

With this recipe book, Shen Tang would transform into a gourmet chef! Capturing more Beastmen’s appetites!

Just in time as the last reward of fertilizer was running out, an additional hundred bags of fertilizer would last quite a while.

The Empire was currently in a period of recovery, in dire need of resources, and the Resource Gift Package would be very useful, enabling the construction of sturdier special buildings.

For instance: building an arms factory to develop and manufacture high-end weapons, enhancing the army’s overall combat capability.

The Infinite Box sounded rather impressive, though for now she couldn’t think of a use for it, so she put it in storage, to deal with later.

What Shen Tang wanted most, naturally, was the Spiritual Power Crystal Stone. She immediately refined the crystal, successfully elevating her spiritual power to 75%, inching ever closer to complete recovery!

After gathering the rewards, the system also swiftly removed Yun Han from the strategy target, as the host and system jointly exploited a system loophole!

Humming a cheerful tune, Shen Tang was planning to go out and discuss the arrangements for the day after tomorrow’s ceremony with the Beast Husbands when suddenly, her vision darkened, and a needle-like piercing pain struck her mind!

"Ah—"

She let out a cry of agony, collapsing to the ground.

Lu Xiao and the others, hearing the commotion, urgently put down their tasks and rushed over.

Xiao Jin, seeing Shen Tang lying on the ground, his expression turning frantic, rushed forward to hold her in his arms, his eyes reddened with worry, "Tangtang? What’s wrong? Is your body unwell? I’ll take you to the hospital!"

Shen Tang, dizzy and with blurred vision, was in too much pain to speak.

The system issued a warning, [Something’s wrong, host, someone is trying to possess your body!]

"...What? Who?!"

Wasn’t the original soul supposed to have completely departed? Who was trying to possess her!

The system replied solemnly, [It’s Shen Qingli! She still has a special Destiny Card in hand, and she’s lucky enough to have drawn a Possession Destiny Card.]

[Having nothing left, she’s desperate, trying to possess your body, replace you, and obtain everything you have!]
