Shen Tang asked, "Whatâs his affinity towards me now?"
[You havenât bound him as a strategy target, so I donât know.]
Shen Tang scratched her head, hearing the underlying hint from the system, and compromised saying, [Forget it, letâs bind it.]
At worst, like Yun Han, Iâll just unbind later.
And get some free rewards.
[Alright! Necro has been bound as a strategy target!]
[Updating targetâs affinityâ]
[Necro, fondness 60]
[Issuing strategy rewardsâ]
[Congratulations, host has received: Resource Pack Ă10, Skill Book Ă1, Superpower Breaking Potion Ă1, Forgetfulness Spray Ă1! Rewards have been automatically stored in the system backpack, please check them yourself!]
Shen Tang pondered, "This Forgetfulness Spray... can it make him forget me? Forget what happened by the river that night? And then he wouldnât fall in love with me?"
[No, Forgetfulness Spray has a time limit, it can only make people forget things within 30 minutes.] The system explained, [Besides, even if Necro forgets that nightâs events, it canât counteract the effect of Love at First Sight Spray; such affection is imprinted in the body. He would feel moved again upon seeing you.]
Shen Tang speechless, "Your sprayâs effect is too strong!"
The dog system proudly said, [Of course! Look at who made it!]
It added, [Host can increase Necroâs affinity to âDeep Loveâ, he might actively reveal secrets.]
Shen Tang pressed her brows in frustration.
She found Necro and the rebel army extremely repulsive. How could she fawn over a criminal like flattering a Beast Husband? Worse than losing her life.
Have to think of another way to provoke...
The system suddenly alerted, [Host, someone is coming with ill intentions.]
Shen Tang looked towards the door, hearing footsteps approaching, squinting her eyes.
...
Necro had many females around him, though most met bad ends, a few had been favored.
Shao Yao was a noble female captured from a defeated nation two months ago, beautiful with a graceful figure, skilled in singing and dancing, adept at pleasing others; she had stayed the longest by Necroâs side. She confidently believed she could win the heart of this rebel leader.
Unexpectedly, Shen Qingli came along recently, instantly seizing all favor. The two were together day and night, Necro even deployed troops and personally took her to the battlefield.
Shao Yao was furious, thinking the leader was just seeking novelty.
Soon, news from the front lines reported that Shen Qingli angered the leader and had been executed.
Shao Yao expected good times to return, but unexpectedly, Necro brought back another foreign female rumored to be an enemy spy.
Yet Necro seemed deeply attached to this spy, favoring her more than he did Shen Qingliâhow could she tolerate this?!
One leaves, another comes?
Shao Yao couldnât bear it any longer, deciding to take action and secretly eliminate this foreign female.
Only a toy, not comparable to her status; with Necroâs nature, he wouldnât care about a toyâs life or deathâdead ones are replaced without even a second thought.
Shao Yao summoned her trusted aide, handed him a bag of poison, and gave specific instructions.
She thought her plan was flawless, unaware that Shen Tang and the system had seen everything.
Soon, footsteps sounded outside, several Beastmen brought dinner in and laid it on the table.
One of them was the Beastman arranged by Shao Yao to poison, the other two had also been bribed.
The meticulously prepared dishes and meat soups were all poisoned.
The Beastman saw Shen Tang hesitating to eat and urged, "Please eat, itâll get cold soon; the lord specifically ordered this to be made to suit your countryâs taste."
Shen Tang suddenly looked towards the door, sweetly calling, "Leader, youâre here? Just in time for dinner, shall we eat together?"
Rarely seeing her with a bright smile, Necroâs lips curved with satisfaction, as he sat across from her to dine.
The delivery Beastmen trembled in disbelief; wasnât the leader supposed to be busy tonight? How did he come?
Of course, Shen Tang had called him ahead of time.
Necro casually tasted a bite, suddenly his face changed.
He looked up seeing Shen Tang absent-mindedly picking up a dish to eat, promptly grabbing her hand, dropping chopsticks and food to the ground.
Angrily sweeping all bowls and dishes to the floor!
The Beastmen collapsed in fear.
Grabbing a Beastmanâs neck, his voice cold as hell, "Who did this? Dared to poison the food!"
"I-Iâm innocent...I donât know anything, I-I was instigated..."
Terrified, the Beastman confessed everything.
Shao Yao was quickly brought forward.
Seeing her plan failing, she cried desperately, clutching Necroâs leg pleadingly, hoping to invoke past affection for mercy.
However, his gaze was cold and detached like looking at a stranger, ending her life immediately.
Shao Yao died in disbelief, not understanding how someone so intimate could be so merciless, heartlessly killing her!
Her so-called true love turned out to be a laughable joke.
The involved Beastman couldnât escape death either, erased without a trace.
Indeed, evil is best dealt with by evil!
Shen Tangâs eyes flickered with coldness, devoid of sympathy. She feigned fear, staring at the tragically deceased woman on the ground, as if seeing her own future.
When Necro turned to her, he showed pity and guilt, comforting with his large hand gently, "Donât be afraid, I love you. As long as you behave, I wouldnât do that to you."
The female abruptly lacking strength, sat crouched to the ground.
She hugged her knees, eyes red, sobbing silently, her thin shoulders slightly trembling, like a delicate orchid in the storm.
She said nothing, perhaps too afraid to speak, as if suffering immensely.
Standing before her, Necroâs throat knotted dryly, suddenly unsure what to say.
Ultimately, she was merely a young female just out of adolescence, forcibly kept by him against her will; he failed to protect her from suffering and conspiracies.
If he hadnât come tonight...she might have perished.
Thinking about it, Necroâs heart slightly ached.
[Ding! Congratulations host, Necroâs affinity +10!]
