A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 141 Holding My Waist

As soon as Shen Tang stepped out, she bumped into Jia Lan, who was walking towards her.

The young man was tall and had long legs. He had a noble air about him, and his handsome, aloof face was impeccably beautiful. In particular, his deep blue peach blossom eyes were like the most beautiful work of art in the world, like Venus, whom even the gods favored.

However, he looked a little haggard, with faint dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept all night.

Shen Tang felt guilty thinking about what the system had said; that bastard had been eavesdropping all night!
This is too embarrassing.

Every single day, she can't be having fun with her beast husband while the other beast husbands are listening in from next door, can she?
I'll have to move to a house with better sound insulation in the future!
Jia Lan's light gaze swept over her, her thin lips curling into a sarcastic smile, "The sun is almost setting, and you've finally woken up?"

In that instant, he seemed to transform back into the sharp-tongued mermaid prince of yesteryear, showing absolutely no mercy when he started to roast people!
Just as Shen Tang was about to speak to ease the awkwardness, she heard him say impatiently, "Hurry up and come over to eat."

Remembering her mission for the day, Shen Tang swallowed her anger and ignored the scoundrel's nasty tone.

She was indeed hungry.

Go downstairs to eat.

Lu Xiao had already prepared the meal.

He set an alarm clock and heated up the food in advance, just in time for Shen Tang to wake up so she could eat as soon as she woke up.

Lu Xiao's gaze fell on Shen Tang, a faint smile on his lips, "You must be starving after a long night. Eat more."

Shen Tang's face flushed slightly as she sat down to eat, and she noticed that the meat soup today was different from usual.

She scooped up a spoonful of broth and examined it closely. It contained sea cucumber, abalone, oysters, kidneys... all sorts of highly nutritious ingredients, mixed together in a way that was simply unimaginable!
Her lips twitched slightly, and she looked at Lu Xiao with difficulty, "This soup..."

This doesn't seem like his work.

Lu Xiao explained in a low voice, "This was made for you by His Highness this morning. He went out to catch the ingredients before dawn and spent the whole morning and evening making this bowl of food."

Shen Tang turned to look at Jia Lan in surprise, not expecting that this noble mermaid prince would cook himself.

But what did he mean?
If she drinks this pot of nourishing soup, she'll get a nosebleed!

Jialan looked away uncomfortably and urged in a cold voice, "Drink it quickly, or the soup will get cold!"

Shen Tang took a sip, and it actually tasted pretty good. After all, with Lu Xiao guiding her, it wasn't as disastrous as she had imagined.

Seeing that Shen Tang had obediently finished the nourishing soup, Jia Lan smiled slightly, then looked her up and down with disdain.

I called it last night, but after less than half an hour, there was no response.

With her frail physique, how will she be able to withstand him in the future?

Their merman mating season...

It won't end in less than a day and a night.

Shen Tang was worried about how to bring it up with Jia Lan, unaware of the young man's dark gaze, like a wolf eyeing its prey, a faint, eerie light flashing across his eyes.

When Shen Tang looked up at Jia Lan, he quickly looked away, his fair ears turning slightly red.

Shen Tang sighed. This mermaid prince was so innocent; how could she possibly bring herself to ask him for help?

She could say lewd things to Shen Li and Xiao Jin, but she didn't have the guts to say anything crude to Jia Lan.

Shen Tang was really afraid that Jia Lan would whip her away with her tail.

Shen Tang chewed on the seafood soup in her hand, when suddenly an idea struck her. She looked at Jia Lan expectantly and said, "The seafood you caught last time was quite delicious. Let's go catch some more this afternoon!"

Jialan turned to look at her and did not refuse, "...Okay."

Shen Tang was surprised, seemingly not expecting Jia Lan to agree so easily; she hadn't even had a chance to use the other lines she had prepared.

This pampered mermaid prince was incredibly lazy. After being tricked into going to farm the first time, he never bothered to travel far again.

Not to mention, I had to go out with her.

This would have been unthinkable in the past.

Fearing her intention to do something bad would be too obvious, Shen Tang coughed lightly and looked at Lu Xiao, "Are you going over there?"

Lu Xiao shook his head and smiled, "I hope you two have a good time. I still have some chores to do at home. I'll tidy up this afternoon and then I won't bother you any longer."

Shen Li is also a landlubber and has no interest in playing in the water or catching fish.

Shen Tang and Jia Lan went out in the afternoon. It was the first time the two had gone out alone, and the atmosphere was different from usual. They didn't talk much on the way, just walked quietly along the mountain path, one in front of the other.

The wind rustled through the woods, and dappled sunlight filtered through the trees, casting shadows on the ground. Shen Tang couldn't resist playing hopscotch.

She playfully skipped over the dappled sunlight on the ground, her skirt swirling in the wind, her silhouette indescribably graceful and beautiful, outlining a sexy curve.

Jialan looked at her, her face flushed, and her body felt faintly hot.

The urge that had been suppressed within me for so long, like a wild beast breaking free of its cage, surged forth once more…

Shen Tang didn't notice the stone under her feet and almost twisted her ankle and fell.

Jialan rushed forward and grabbed her hand to prevent her from falling flat on her face.

next second.

The young man withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

My fingertips trembled slightly, still burning.

He never knew that a female's hands could be so soft.

"Thank you, Jialan." Shen Tang turned to look at him, smiling slightly.

When Jialan met her bright smile, her heart pounded even faster, almost leaping out of her throat.

He looked away and said awkwardly, "...Just doing it on the spur of the moment."

The two continued walking towards the river.

Jialan walked slowly, following behind Shen Tang.

The woman's long hair was occasionally blown by the wind, brushing against his neck and face.

Her long, jet-black hair was thick and lush, like seaweed.

Jialan felt a strong urge to touch it.

He did it instinctively.

His slender fingers brushed through her hair.

Shen Tang paused, turned her head to look at him.

Jialan quickly withdrew her hand and stammered, "You, you have fallen leaves on your head, I'm helping you pick them off."

His cool and refined face flushed slightly, and he turned his face away, not daring to meet her gaze.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Jialan's favorability has increased by 5!]

Shen Tang was surprised at first, then smiled and grabbed his hand, running towards the riverbank. "Look! We're here!"

Jialan looked down at their clasped hands, almost losing her mind.

I felt like my skin was on fire.

After arriving at the riverbank, Shen Tang let go of Jia Lan and squatted down by the river, smiling as she said, "Look here, there are lots of small fish and shrimp, and even frogs. I wonder if they're edible..."

Jialan snapped out of her reverie, rubbed her fingers together with a hint of regret, and glanced up at the river.

It's just an ordinary little river, not rich in resources.

He wouldn't normally eat ingredients of this quality, let alone serve them on his table.

Jialan stepped forward and pulled Shen Tang inside, "Come on, I'll take you to a nice place!"

Shen Tang turned around and met the boy's deep blue eyes, which were like a calm and vast sea, but who knew what undercurrents were hidden beneath.

He whispered, "Hold my arm around my waist."

Shen Tang's face flushed, thinking she had misheard.

Seeing that she didn't make a move, Jia Lan's handsome face flashed with impatience. He grabbed her arm and wrapped it around his lean waist. "Hold on tight. If you fall, I won't be going to fish you out!"
