The moon hung on the branches, and it was very late. The patientās condition had stabilized, and the doctors advised her to go home and rest.
Shen Tang was indeed a bit tired.
She intended to leave with her Beast Husband, but when she turned around, she saw Yun Han sitting with his head bowed on the bed, lost in thought... still looking like he couldnāt be helped, making her furious!
Did all her efforts go in vain?
Alas, she was truly afraid that once she left, he might harm himself again!
Not to mention the old Family Head of the Yun Family would be fuming, she was almost at her witās end too.
Shen Tang was not a living Buddha reincarnate; she didnāt have time to focus on healing and saving people all day.
She coldly left a remark, "My Healing Ability wonāt be wasted on fools! If thereās a next time, I wonāt save you again."
"..."
Shen Tang was too lazy to see Yun Hanās expression, and after tossing that remark, she left the hospital with her Beast Husband.
The night wind outside was chilly, mixed with bits of snow, pricking the face like knives. She hadnāt gone far before her face and nose turned red.
The weather had been gloomy lately; she wondered if there would be good weather on the day of the ascension ceremony.
Lu Xiao took off his coat and placed it around her, "Female Master, be careful not to catch a cold."
Xiao Jin grabbed Shen Tangās hands, enclosing them in his palms, rubbed them, and blew warm breath on them, feeling sorry, "Your hands are so red, does it hurt? Why bother dealing with that stupid wolf yourself? If you want to slap him, just tell me, I can slap him awake in ten seconds with two hundred slaps!"
Shen Tang couldnāt help but laugh, "I just saved him; do you want to beat him to death now?"
Xiao Jin was indifferent, "With that stupid wolfās brain, he only brings you trouble while alive. If it werenāt for him blocking the way, Shen Qingli would have flaunted her arrogance long ago."
Shen Tang shook her head, "You canāt say that. The Yun Family, after all, are heroes of the Empire, sacrificing many family members through generations in the battlefield for the Empireās glory and hardship. Yun Han is the sole heir of the Pure-blooded Snow Moon Wolf line; losing him would be such a pity. Even if not for the Yun Family, if I can, Iād try my best to save him."
She added, "Of course, if Yun Han sincerely sought death, even gods couldnāt save him, and I would be at a loss."
As she spoke, Shen Tangās stomach growled, she blushed, "Letās stop talking about this! After running around all day, I havenāt had a bite of hot food yet. Letās go home."
Xiao Jin transformed into his beast form, carrying Shen Tang on his back, swiftly heading back to the courtyard.
Lu Xiao and others followed closely behind.
There was still quite a bit of leftovers from lunch; it was too late to cook again, so they just heated the leftovers and had a casual meal.
After eating, Shen Tang returned to her room to rest.
She had just opened the door when she was embraced into a cool hug.
"Tangtang, itās my turn tonight, isnāt it? Iāve missed you so much!" Jia Lan nuzzled his nose into her hair, his voice tender and suppressed.
The family didnāt have a clear patrol schedule, but the Beast Husband knew well. Competing for affections was fun, but everyone must get their fair share, while Shen Qingliās side served as an excellent counterexample for education.
Every other Beast Husband had their turn; tonight was supposed to be Jia Lanās.
Unfortunately, this mess wasted half the night, leaving him so frustrated he almost shed small pearls.
Jia Lan was so upset that he didnāt even feel like having dinner, so he took a bath and changed into a silky sheer garment to assert his claim to the sleeping rights!
The semi-transparent silk lay over his long and beautiful body, revealing his cold-white chest, teasingly tempting.
Shen Tangās eyes lit up, immediately captivated.
The youth stood at the bathroom door, with half-damp and half-dry curled hair, a face exquisitely stunning, blue eyes as deep as the sea, filled with such passion that could drown a person!
Not to mention his impeccable figure, broad shoulders, slim waist, long legs... This sheer garment literally made him a tempting sea monster, almost clear and tantalizing.
Her cheeks bloomed with a rosy hue; unable to resist, she reached out and touched him.
Jia Lan let out a soft sigh, his blue eyes growing deeper as he stared at her, like dangerous undercurrents in the deep sea, ready to swallow a person whole, leaving no trace!
"...you charming female!"
His face blushed, breath unsteady, yet his eyes narrowed with utmost pleasure.
Shen Tangās hands slid through the thin silk robe, embracing the manās firm and slender waist, her chin resting on his hollow collarbone, her expression full of irresistible charm, "Clearly you love it, yet so stubborn, want to do something... even more beloved?"
Feeling daring, she asked as he hesitated to answer; his handsome face continued to redden.
This charming female! Truly growing bolder!
When he didnāt respond, she released her interest, yawning while heading to bed, "Seems like you donāt want it that much; Iām tired anyway, so letās just sleep..."
Before she could finish, he wrapped his arms around her waist, pinning her onto the bed.
Jia Lan was nearly desperate; if tonight didnāt happen, heād be devastated.
"I like... I want it!" He buried his head in her neck, planting a series of urgent, dense kisses, muttering, "Tonight, Iām staying on top."
Shen Tang raised a brow, but that was out of his control.
The other Beast Husbands she couldnāt overpower, but with Jia Lan, she quite enjoyed the taste of control.
The sly system in her mind whispered, [Host, do you need to purchase some tools for successful subjugation? Our shop is very comprehensive with a wide range of products! Guaranteed value for the Host!]
Shen Tangās mouth twitched, shouldnāt this dog system be dormant by now?
Before she could block it, the system automatically listed related products.
Seeing those items clearly, her face blushed, inwardly cursing as a perverted system!
Yet, those looked quite nice, cheap, and only cost one point.
"Who are you thinking about?" Jia Lan, noticing her spacing out at such a moment, bit her collarbone in annoyance.
The force went a bit overboard.
The tips of his teeth rolled out two tiny blood beads.
Tasting the delectable flavor of her blood, Jia Lanās breath stalled, his blue pupils swiftly flashed a hint of enchanting purple-red.
Shen Tang didnāt notice Jia Lanās change, lashed out a hand around his neck, pulling him down to her lips, exhaling orchid-like fragrance, "Lanlan~ I want a new necklace!"
Jia Lanās breath grew heavy.
Upon seeing what she took out, his azure pupils instantly shifted into a purple-red hue, the hallmark of extreme excitement for a mermaid!
"Tangtang..."
The voice so soft it tugged at oneās heartstrings, mixed with the urge to fiercely bully!
...
Shen Tang initially set out to tease the alluring mermaid, hoping heād shed a few extra pearls, but unexpectedly in the latter half, their roles entirely reversed.
With tears and no laughter, she finally realized, self-inflicted mistakes are unlivable!
The sky turned dimly bright.
Exhausted, Shen Tang drifted off to sleep.
Jia Lan, filled with pleasure, cuddled the female in his arms, softly kissing her forehead, lashes, cheeks, his heart swelling with gentle tenderness.
Soon, he too closed his eyes, falling soundly asleep.
Only that night, Jia Lan dreamed.
As if sinking into a bottomless Abyss, cold to the bone.
A nightmare difficult to awaken from.
In the silent darkness, the young man appeared pale, a thin sweat on his forehead.
The next morning, Lu Xiao had reheated breakfast once, yet both remained asleep, prompting Xiao Jin in anger to call them.
Shen Li hooked his tail, pulling him back to the sofa, casually rising, "Xiao Tangāer isnāt known for a temper upon waking, once or twice is fine, but too often, she truly gets annoyed, let me handle it this time."
Xiao Jin, with sound reason, didnāt want to earn Shen Tangās grudge, obediently sitting back on the sofa, urging the sly fox to hurry and call them.
Leisurely, Shen Li went upstairs, reached the room, and knocked on the door.
