A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 188 Catching the Spy
……

Three days later, Shen Tang finally finished reading all the account books.

After taking turns reading the account books late into the night with Xiao Jin and Shen Li, Shen Tang was exhausted and her back ached. Finally, it was her turn to take over, and she quickly sent those two scoundrels back to Ningguta to get to work.

Lu Xiao was finally able to get a good night's sleep.

These past two days, the noise has been so loud that he's even considering building a nest in a tree outside.

"By the way, Mistress, these past few days, the remote little city of Green Field City has garnered a lot of attention on the Star Network. Everyone in the streets and alleys of the Imperial City is talking about you. Even Princess Shen Qingli, who was previously quiet, has urgently ordered the renovation of the city walls of Chuanlan City and the construction of energy stations. It seems she has been spurred on by you." Lu Xiao has made many connections with various forces in the Imperial City, so he can basically receive news about what is happening there as soon as possible.

Shen Tang smiled knowingly and sneered, "I've only been operating here for a few days, but the news from the capital has already spread quite quickly!"

"The status of the female master is different now than before. Every move she makes has a great impact, and many forces are secretly watching you."

Hearing Lu Xiao say that, Shen Tang felt uneasy and a sense of unease crept into her heart.

Since she returned, she had a vague feeling that many eyes were watching her from the shadows.

It was one thing when we were in the capital.

Green Field City is her own territory, yet she couldn't escape these spies.

Shen Tang anticipated that these things would be inevitable after regaining the title of princess, but no matter how much or how little, it was understandable.

"If you put it that way, could it be that Shen Qingli is also secretly monitoring me?" Shen Tang casually asked, then frowned, the more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

This female lead used to not take her, such a vicious supporting character, seriously, but she has been overshadowed by her time and time again. If Shen Qingli isn't stupid, she definitely wouldn't dare to underestimate her anymore, and might have already bribed the city's informants.

Shen Tang had to be on guard.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

She currently has too few trump cards and is not yet able to contend with the original female lead and the imperial forces.

One must act with caution and prudence.

Those spies inevitably engage in underhanded tactics, spreading rumors, sowing discord, assassinating or poisoning, or stealing formula secrets... making them truly difficult to guard against.

Shen Tang is a person who cherishes life very much.

She couldn't allow such filth to fester and multiply in the shadows.

Who knows, I might stab her one day.

Anything that might threaten her must be nipped in the bud!

Shen Tang's expression darkened slightly. He looked up at the air not far away and whispered, "Xue Yinzhou."

Soon, a tall, slender white figure emerged from the shadows in the corner.

The man's silver hair fell to his waist, his face was aloof and handsome, and his aura was as cold and fierce as a frozen pool, making people feel intimidated.

"You're in charge of dealing with the spies and informants hidden in the city," Shen Tang said coldly. "Leave no one alive!"

Xue Yinzhou had been keeping watch nearby and overheard their conversation.

He nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Then his figure turned into black mist and disappeared.

The next instant, Xueyinzhou arrived outside the city, and rustling sounds came from the grass and bushes under his feet.

Countless venomous snakes of various colors converged around him.

If someone saw this from the air, they would be absolutely amazed!

The wild snakes respectfully lay prostrate at the feet of the Snow-Hidden Boat.

His snake tail swayed gently, flicking his tongue.

As if receiving a supreme command, the wild snakes scattered and disappeared without a trace.

There have been many orcs coming and going in Greenfield City lately:

There are orcs from nearby villages who come to the city to work.

There were refugees who came seeking refuge.

There were also all sorts of merchants and vendors.

The situation is chaotic and difficult to investigate.

Spy agents planted infiltrated the city, secretly establishing strongholds and relaying information outwards. At nightfall, several orcs stealthily carried canisters of gasoline to the city's granary.

The lead orc knocked on his lighter.

The faint firelight illuminated his face, revealing a twisted, ferocious expression as he sneered maliciously, "Dare to oppose the master? I'll burn down your granaries and wipe out your harvest of the past few months—ah!"

Before the orc could make a move, a venomous snake suddenly appeared out of nowhere and bit his hind leg, letting out a shrill scream that instantly shattered the quiet and eerie atmosphere.

The other orcs, before they could even pour out the gasoline, were nearly scared to death by the scream. Their hands trembled, and the gasoline cans rolled to the ground.

They turned their heads in alarm, about to shout angrily, when suddenly—"Ah!"

Several screams were heard.

They fell to the ground, writhing in agony.

Immediately afterwards, countless venomous snakes slithered out of the woods, crawled onto their bodies, bit into their flesh, and burrowed into their internal organs...

Soon, these spies turned into piles of bones, and a cloud of black mist swept in, instantly reducing them to ashes.

Meanwhile, there were also people eyeing the factory with predatory intent.

The factory's foundation has just been laid.

It was late at night, and the workers were all resting.

There were only a few scattered guards at the factory gate, standing guard in front of the gate.

Someone used sleeping gas to incapacitate the guards at the gate and sneaked into the factory.

They carried explosives and wanted to blow up the factory.

But as soon as I entered the factory, a slender, aloof white figure appeared before me.

Xue Yinzhou stood quietly in the factory under the moonlight, giving people a chilling feeling, and a cold air rushed from the soles of the feet to the top of the head!
What could someone be in the factory so late at night? So silent, like a ghost!
The orcs were terrified and quickly hid the explosives in their hands, retreating. "We came out to relieve ourselves late at night and accidentally ended up here. We're leaving now!"

Xue Yinzhou didn't bother with any more words. He instantly appeared in front of them, pierced the orc's chest with one hand, pulled out his heart, and crushed it in an instant!
The crystal core inside his heart was crushed, and its power was instantly absorbed.

The remaining three orcs turned pale and ran away in fright.

Xue Yinzhou sneered, transformed into his true form, and followed.

The leading orc was a sixth-tier orc, and he escaped relatively quickly.

Seeing his two companions become food for the giant snake, he disregarded everything else and quickly took out a bomb and threw it at the factory.

The next second, the bomb flew into the air and was stopped by the black mist.

It was instantly engulfed and pulverized.

The orc stared wide-eyed in terror.

His last moments will be marked by this expression.

The black mist instantly engulfed him, turning him into a pool of blood.

Meanwhile, the situation at the quarries and logging sites is also not optimistic.

Some people secretly instigated the orcs working to smuggle materials and sell them at high prices.

Some people even secretly carried bombs, attempting to blow up the mine and bury the workers alive while they were working underground!

If this were to happen, it would instantly ignite public opinion within the empire.

Whether this was an accident or someone did it intentionally, all the blame will fall on Shen Tang, her reputation and prestige will plummet, and she will become the target of everyone's condemnation.

Fortunately, Shen Tang was cautious and secretly notified Xiao Jin, Shen Li, and Hu Yun to investigate the suspicious beastmen. The local beastmen should also not be careless.

Within a month, more than a dozen cases were solved, and all the orcs involved were imprisoned.

Under torture, they arrested their accomplices and destroyed their hideout.

A massive purge was carried out in Greenfield City!

Don't panic, kids! Our book will have some minor adjustments during a future event at the bookstore, but the story outline will remain the same. Please remember us!

I've been busy discussing event arrangements with the editor all day, so the update is a bit late. I won't be adding any more updates for now.

Oh no, I'm too sleepy today, my brain is foggy, I'll write this update tomorrow!
