Chapter 91: Chapter 91 - 85: Obedience Spray
The City Lord’s face flashed with struggle, but time waited for no one. He finally gritted his teeth and agreed to let Shen Tang come over to save the person.
The attendants in the room were all dismissed.
Shen Tang walked to the bedside, took off the City Lord’s wife’s clothes; seeing that both of them were female, the City Lord didn’t say much.
Shen Tang’s face was grave; the City Lord’s wife’s condition was worse than she had imagined, her entire body exuded a decaying, lifeless aura, and pale skin even faintly showed blood clots.
Shi Ye, seeing this scene, was even more distressed, his fists clenched tightly, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins glistening with tears.
If Shen Tang could really cure Wan’er, he would agree to any request this female presented!
Unaware of the City Lord’s inner thoughts, Shen Tang focused intently, gathering warm green light in her palm to heal the City Lord’s wife’s damaged body.
The ulcerated wounds on the City Lord’s wife’s back quickly healed.
A look of joy flashed in the City Lord’s eyes, and he didn’t dare to even breathe loudly.
The room became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
As time slowly passed, the City Lord’s wife’s pale face gradually turned rosy, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Her eye sockets were gaunt and sunken, but one could tell her eyes were gentle and beautiful, and her gaze was very soft.
Song Wan had been in a coma for years, but often she could hear the sounds outside, she just didn’t have the strength to respond.
For years, Song Wan had always felt guilty for dragging Shi Ye down, and her heart grew increasingly painful. She never expected that one day there would still be hope for healing.
Song Wan, her eyes brimming with tears, grasped Shen Tang’s hand. Her voice was still weak, but her eyes were astonishingly bright, "Thank you... child... thank you for saving my life... I really don’t know how to repay you..."
"Madam, you’re too kind. I’m just glad to see you getting better." Shen Tang replied with a gentle smile.
The City Lord, seeing his wife restored to life, was overwhelmed with tears, unable to speak.
Feeling conscientious, Shen Tang got up, found an excuse to leave the room, giving the two an opportunity to embrace and share their feelings.
A while later, the City Lord, with red eyes, exited the room and saw Shen Tang waiting in the courtyard.
His gaze was complex, but his demeanor was much softer than before, and his tone was grateful, "I agree that you and your beast husband can stay in Greenfield City. Not just for two days, you can stay as long as you want! Staying permanently in the city is fine! If you lack anything in the future, feel free to tell me."
"Oh, I remember you’re staying in the outer city. The old houses there are quite shabby. I’ll have someone arrange a more spacious and brighter new place for you."
Overjoyed, Shen Tang returned and told Shen Li and the others about this matter.
After some thought, Shen Li gently smiled, "This City Lord does have a conscience, someone worth making connections with. Xiao Tang’er, I think we can settle in the city for now, no need to rush back to the Empire. Let’s talk about it once the situation stabilizes."
Shen Tang thought so too. Although the main quest could only be triggered by returning to the Imperial City, the situation there was complicated. She feared entering that den of tigers and being devoured with nothing left!
It’s better to find a stable place first to slowly gather strength and have confidence to contend with the heroine.
Greenfield City, being a small border town, was far away from polluted areas and the Imperial City, making it a good settling point.
The beast husbands did not object.
Xiao Jin, an orphan from the slums, without parents or family inheritance, and with no remaining merits, it made no difference to him whether to return to the Empire or stay in Greenfield City.
Jia Lan, having married from another country as a prince, had no preference either—to him, it made no difference where he stayed, as long as the noble Mermaid Prince could find a comfortable place to rest.
As for Xue Yinzhou, there was no need to say more; he only felt disgust towards the Imperial City.
The only concern Shen Tang had was Lu Xiao, as he was from a prominent family in the Imperial City and probably wouldn’t want to stay in such a small, shabby place.
Unexpectedly, he had no objections either.
Seeing Shen Tang staring straight at him, Lu Xiao displayed hesitation, an aloof smile hanging on his handsome, mature face, his voice deep and magnetic, "Do you have something to ask me?"
Indeed, Shen Tang did have something to ask him. Initially, she thought that Lu Xiao’s return was to discuss breaking off their engagement, but he had yet to bring it up.
Shen Tang couldn’t figure out what he was thinking at the moment.
Trying to laugh it off, she shook her head, "Nothing!"
Then, she looked at the other beast husbands, clapping her hands and saying, "Over the next two days, let’s pack up our things and move to the inner city."
The new place offered by the City Lord was a small three-story villa with a large yard. The conditions were much better than when in the polluted area.
Shen Li and the others didn’t move out and stayed with Shen Tang in this house.
The system continuously urged Shen Tang all day long, impossible to block out, [Host, don’t forget the side quests! Now that all the beast husbands are by your side, this is a golden opportunity! Host, hurry and take action!]
Shen Tang’s forehead veins throbbed wildly, "Why don’t you teach me how to get started?"
Telling a pure, innocent girl like her, who hadn’t even held hands with a handsome guy, to do such things, this damn system was really too demanding.
It’s said that in the Beast World, the genders prefer a wild and straightforward approach...
Must she really tell this group of damn men: I want to mate with you?
No way, no way, she was so embarrassed she could dig a Barbie castle with her own feet! She definitely couldn’t say such embarrassing words!
Xiao Jin and the others would surely throw her out to feed the wolves.
The system chuckled, [Host, don’t forget the Obedience Spray you were previously rewarded with. Once the host sprays it on the target, he will become like an obedient puppy, completely compliant with you, readily agreeing to any absurd request.]
Shen Tang was taken aback. Obedience Spray?
She remembered there seemed to be such a reward.
She instinctively asked, "How long does this Obedience Spray last?"
[Three hours.]
Shen Tang’s mouth twitched slightly. Three hours, even with how mighty the Beast World’s men were, should be enough, right?
No, no, how could she use such a despicable method!?
In her mind, Shen Tang wrestled with herself, ultimately refusing, "No way, that’s too shameless. I would be no different from the original host. Even if I completed the task, those damn men would definitely kill me afterward!"
Shen Tang gave up on this plan.
After finishing the meal, Shen Tang had the beast husbands stay behind, "I need to discuss something important with you all."
Xiao Jin, arms crossed, leaned against the wall, his golden eyes giving her a faint glance, opening with a teasing tone, "Speak quickly, if you have something to say. Don’t interrupt my rest."
Shen Tang gave him a fierce glare but maintained her smile, scanning the beast husbands with diverse expressions, speaking gently, "Ahem, you all know how much trouble I attract. Just a few days ago, I survived an assassination attempt; surely, they won’t give up easily."
"For my personal safety, I have decided—"
"To continue upholding the fine tradition of sleeping with company at night."
"So, tonight, which one of you is first?"
