This statement gave both parties face and was spoken elegantly.
"This place is not suitable for detailed discussion," Shen Tang maintained her dignified demeanor and continued, "If the rebel army sincerely wants to join the alliance, we can choose another suitable time to talk in detail."
Necro did not answer, his gaze remained locked on her, making Shen Tang’s skin crawl, goosebumps rising on her body.
After a long time, he slowly spoke, "Set a date."
The aura around Lu Xiao, Xiao Jin, and Xue Yinzhou grew colder, almost unable to restrain the impulse to act.
Shen Tang stopped them, whispering, "Don’t act recklessly."
At the moment, the rebel army indeed did not intend to start a war. Shen Tang somewhat understood Necro’s personality; although arrogant and ruthless, he always hated beating around the bush when it came to serious matters. If he truly wanted to start a war, he would have already done it.
If he truly came with sincere cooperation, it would actually be a good thing for all countries. Continuing internal strife would just deplete everyone’s strength, not to mention fighting against polluted lands and the Alien Star.
Necro asked, "I wonder what day the Night Glow Country Master considers a good day? So I can prepare."
Under the watchful eyes, Shen Tang couldn’t evade and said after thinking, "In half a month, I’ll hold a banquet in the palace, inviting you for detailed discussions."
Her attitude was completely about business, without any personal feelings.
Necro deeply looked at her for a long time, then swept over her three companions beside her. His gaze grew deeper, leaving only the word "okay." His figure then turned into a blood mist and vanished.
The aggressive rebel army just casually retreated.
Some wanted to chase, but ultimately remained still.
The Beastmen present were very puzzled, not understanding what the rebel army intended with this disturbance today. Was it genuine repentance or a larger plot?
Shen Tang watched the rebel army leave, her legs feeling a bit weak.
Only she knew how nervous she was just now, afraid of being recognized by that scoundrel!
Fortunately, the situation seems stable for now, Necro probably only suspects but found no evidence.
She has to completely dispel his suspicions!
Lu Xiao also sensed her uneasy emotions, a hint of contemplation flashing in his deep gray eyes.
Recalling the past encounter between Shen Tang and Necro, and the question Necro asked upon arrival, along with the strange atmosphere between them, he felt the situation might not be simple.
Xiao Jin and Xue Yinzhou, though not understanding the specifics, also sensed something was off.
Shen Tang definitely has something she’s hiding from them!
Truly worrying!
Back home, the Beast Husbands almost couldn’t resist locking her in a dark room for questioning.
"Tell us, who exactly is Xiao Cui Hua?!"
"Female Master, what’s really going on here?"
"Did Xue Yinzhou find Xiao Cui Hua, is it you?"
Shen Tang was terribly headachy.
Back then, pretending to be Xiao Cui Hua and having that story with Necro was just an unexpected interlude. After losing contact, she didn’t expect future intersections, so she simply didn’t tell the Beast Husbands, afraid they might overthink, with explanations being difficult for herself.
Now the truth couldn’t be hidden anymore, she could only confess everything honestly.
She had to tell them the whole story from those days.
The Beast Husbands were terribly jealous after knowing!
Though she was pretending, and everything that happened was fake, just knowing there was a wild man outside eyeing their partner made them want to go back and fight.
Shen Tang quickly comforted them, saying she had to do it because of the system task back then.
Her current concern was how to face Necro in half a month.
