This swift and powerful strike left ordinary Beastmen no time to react, not even a chance to evade.
At the brink of life and death, one often forgets to disguise themselves, only showing their true self.
If the young man could successfully dodge this strike, then his true strength was definitely not as delicate as it appeared!
If he couldn’t avoid it...
That would just prove his innocence and harmlessness.
As for the result, Xue Yinzhou didn’t care.
At the moment when the force was about to hit Ah Lian, the young man fell to the ground in fright, and simultaneously a wall of earth rose to just barely shield against the attack.
Xue Yinzhou’s pupils suddenly contracted as he quickly withdrew his attack, frowning while looking toward the hastily arriving female, his tone somewhat unnatural, "...Tangtang, why are you here?"
"If I hadn’t come, would you have really killed him?" Shen Tang glared at him angrily, then quickly stepped forward to help up the young man who had fallen to the ground.
Ah Lian’s face was pale, his body trembling slightly from fear, his thin fingers gripping tightly onto her arm, looking fearfully at the sinister Snake Beast not far away, hiding behind her, tears appearing in his eyes, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry... I didn’t mean to..."
Even though he was the victim, he felt he had upset others, thinking everything was his fault.
Shen Tang was even more heartbroken, "It’s not your fault."
Looking at the young man’s appearance, Xue Yinzhou furrowed his brows even tighter. Could it be... he truly had a petty heart?
Yet seeing Shen Tang’s care for other males, still a surge of irritation rose in Xue Yinzhou’s heart, making his aura even colder.
"Xue Yinzhou, you really went too far this time, come over and apologize to Ah Lian!" Shen Tang angrily looked at him.
Xue Yinzhou’s heart felt as though it was pricked by needles, unable to bear the Female Master siding with a strange male of unknown origin. Why should he apologize? He was only worried about her safety.
He said nothing, turned around, and left.
Shen Tang was stunned.
Instinctively, she wanted to chase after and cajole him back, but after stepping halfway forward, she ultimately held back.
Though Xue Yinzhou usually treated her with utmost gentleness and patience, in his bones he was cold and unfeeling. To recklessly strike a defenseless Beastman youth, if not taught a lesson, he may become even more audacious in the future!
This matter was his fault from the start, there was no reason she should coax him. Otherwise, wouldn’t it indirectly tell him that what he did was right!
Shen Tang angrily thought, finally suppressing the urge to coax.
She turned to look at the young man who was gradually calming from fear, softly comforting, "Are you okay?"
The young man shook his head, "Do they... all hate me?"
Shen Tang hesitated, the truth was hardly pleasant, so she had to gently say, "Don’t be scared, I call the shots here. Since I agreed for you to stay, I will definitely ensure your safety."
"But as you’ve seen, the Beast Husbands in my home may be somewhat... um, exclusionary. If you’re unhappy staying here, I can arrange a new place for you, wherever you’d like to go, just tell me."
The young man lowered his long lashes, nodding sadly, "I understand."
Seeing him like this, Shen Tang lightly sighed and patted his head, "I’ve had the kitchen prepare some food, eat well and rest afterwards."
"Mm, sister, would you stay and have a meal with me?"
Shen Tang did not refuse.
After the meal, she returned to the palace, yet at night she tossed and turned, constantly thinking about Xue Yinzhou, wondering if he was still angry...
Though she thought of teaching this damn man a lesson, not allowing him too much freedom, there was always a knot in her heart.
Eventually, she sighed, slipped on shoes and casually threw on a coat, heading to Xue Yinzhou’s palace.
Upon arriving, she found him absent.
The palace was empty, not even a single lamp lit.
Xue Yinzhou was solitary by nature, liking tranquility, not wanting to be disturbed, so his palace had few attendants, with him living there alone.
Shen Tang’s heart tightened; could this damn man have run away from home?!
"System, help me check Xue Yinzhou’s current location."
[Alright Host, I’ve located him, 2.5 kilometers away in the North City Suburb.]
Shen Tang directly let the system teleport her there.
The moon was bright and sparse, shadows of trees swaying.
After searching around and not finding him, the system finally prompted, [Host, he’s in the tree.]
Looking up, Shen Tang then saw, among the dense foliage not far away, a faintly visible silvery white snake. It had concealed its entire aura, entwined around the trunk like vines, hardly noticeable unless closely examed.
