Chapter 51: Chapter 51 - 45: Where Did This Fat Lady’s Waist Come From?
"Since I didn’t expose you, could you agree to one request of mine?" Shen Tang negotiated pleasantly with him.
"You dare to make requests of me? Where do you get the nerve?"
Xue Yinzhou’s face became increasingly cold and violent, his gaze downcast and full of mockery, a smile of rage tugging at the corner of his lips, "Shen Tang, you’d better understand your situation now. I can kill you silently, dump your body in the wilderness, and no one would know, not even the surveillance would detect it... If you were smart, you wouldn’t appear in front of me tonight seeking death!"
A thick snake tail suddenly wrapped around her waist with force, the terrifying constriction enough to kill large prey within moments!
But suddenly, the snake tail paused, and the man’s cold and gloomy face took on a strange look.
Huh, where did this chubby lady get a waist from?
Xue Yinzhou thought it was his illusion and used the snake tail again to measure her, realizing she had indeed lost weight.
He distinctly remembered this chubby lady’s waist being as thick as a barrel, layers of fat stacked, just one look was nauseating, yet now there was a noticeable curve at her waist and hips, the sensation around the tail... unexpectedly decent.
And it was this moment of hesitation that allowed Shen Tang to break free of the snake tail’s restraint, hurriedly rushing towards the door, failing the task was one thing, but she didn’t want to lose her life over it!
This dog man radiated murderous intent even more terrifying than the last time!
Unexpectedly, before she could run out the door, her waist sank again, dragged back to the man’s side by the snake tail.
Shen Tang cried, "I know I was wrong, I shouldn’t have threatened you, let me go, will you? Pretend tonight never happened, it was just a nightmare you had!"
Xue Yinzhou smirked coldly, this chubby lady was somewhat self-aware, dreaming of her really was a nightmare!
"Click!"
The tip of the slender snake tail flicked the bedroom light switch at the door.
The room was instantly illuminated.
Xue Yinzhou looked down at the poor female held by the snake tail, it wasn’t his illusion, this chubby lady had indeed slimmed down a lot.
Snake beasts have poor vision, the room was too dark earlier, he didn’t see clearly.
Perhaps because she was on the verge of tears, her eyes brimmed with mist, looking lively and unexpectedly carrying a trace of unique, charming allure.
Xue Yinzhou’s silver-purple cold eyes showed a hint of hesitation.
How did this chubby lady become not so ugly?
"You! Could you put me down first, you’re really going to strangle me to death!" The terrifying force of the snake tail’s constriction left Shen Tang struggling for breath.
Xue Yinzhou glanced at her coldly without releasing the snake tail, "First, tell me, why did you break in tonight?"
He casually asked, already having the answer in his heart. This female had a gambling problem, she was short on money and came to steal from his room.
If she couldn’t find cash or star cards, she’d steal something valuable to sell.
This wasn’t the first time Shen Tang had done such a thing, Xue Yinzhou’s tolerance for her had reached its limit, on the verge of collapse and madness.
This time he simply wanted to hear what kind of excuse this odious female would make up to deceive him.
"I... I just wanted your snake shedding." Shen Tang mustered her courage to say.
Before Xue Yinzhou could smirk, he froze, pupils dilating, eyes flashing with disbelief, doubting if he heard wrong?
Didn’t this odious female hate slimy disgusting reptiles like snakes the most?
She had said to his face multiple times that he was disgusting, if it weren’t for his human form’s good looks as a child, she wouldn’t have bought him as a slave back then, even wanting him as her bed slave.
Remembering this, Xue Yinzhou’s face darkened instantly, "What do you want my snake shedding for?"
This female despised snake beasts, why would she suddenly want snake shedding? Could it be she just came up with a random excuse to fob him off?
Shen Tang curiously asked the system in her heart, "Yes, why do you insist on me taking his snake shedding? What use is it?"
[Host doesn’t understand. Snake shedding can be made into intimate apparel. When a male gives snake shedding to a favored female, it represents affection. The female wearing underwear made from the snake shedding also symbolizes liking the male. The host is originally his female master, taking his snake shedding is rightful!]
"...If you want me dead, just say so. Do you think Xue Yinzhou would believe such a reason? He probably can’t wait to kill me!"
So the system provided another reasonable explanation, [Xue Yinzhou is powerful, with a special superpower, his snake shedding carries his scent, having a deterrent effect on mutant species below Eighth Rank. Host can carry the snake shedding around, offering an extra layer of protection in the contaminated zone.]
This reason would work.
Shen Tang looked up at the cold-faced man and sincerely responded, "Last time I was framed and stranded in the contaminated zone, I was almost eaten by those terrifying mutant species! I was terrified, thinking your power is strong, those mutants avoid you, the snake shedding carrying your scent would surely be somewhat effective."
Seeing her sincere expression was not feigned, Xue Yinzhou slightly relaxed the force of the snake tail.
Shen Tang seized the opportunity to slip out, noticing the killing aura faded from the man’s body, she plucked up the courage to grab a stack of snake shedding from the closet, and bolted out the door, "You wronged me so badly last time, consider this compensation, I promise I won’t bother you again!"
Xue Yinzhou, in a moment of distraction, saw the female take advantage and disappear without a trace.
"..." Covered with fat, but she runs quite fast.
Xue Yinzhou’s expression was peculiar.
Did this chubby lady really risk her life in the middle of the night just to take snake shedding?
Snakes are inherently lazy, and Xue Yinzhou couldn’t be bothered to chase after her. Besides, the snake shedding was worthless to him now, if it bought a few days of peace from this chubby lady, it was a worthy trade.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, Xue Yinzhou’s affinity +10!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest: Obtain Xue Yinzhou’s snake shedding. Reward: Inhibitor Manual! The reward has been automatically issued to the system backpack, please check yourself.]
As Shen Tang ran in confusion and chaos, hearing the system’s two notifications, a flash of surprise crossed her mind. She hadn’t expected the affinity to increase, she thought the snake would be enraged, and the affinity would plummet!
She turned to look behind her, the terrifying snake beast hadn’t chased her, or she would’ve already been caught.
Relief washed over her.
Upon returning home, Shen Tang was mentally and physically exhausted, having not closed her eyes all night, with the sky faintly lightening outside.
She wasn’t in the mood to check the system reward’s inhibitor manual, collapsed on the bed, and fell asleep, not waking until noon the next day, her stomach growling with hunger.
Shen Tang went downstairs to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator.
The previously empty fridge, with only a few bottles of nutrient liquid, was now stuffed full of vegetables and fresh meat, brought by Shen Li and Lu Xiao in the past few days as payment for their freeloading.
