A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 486 Find the female!
Lu Xiao sighed softly, his fingertips gently stroking her cheek. "My lady, since we are husband and wife, we should be completely open with each other."

Are you planning to bury this secret forever?

"Please tell me, what are you afraid of?"

"Am I not able to share your burdens?" he asked softly, his gray-blue eyes reflecting a complex light that mirrored her image.

Looking into those eyes filled with deep affection and sorrow, Shen Tang felt a tightness in her throat and couldn't utter a single word.

In the past, she could have easily made up an excuse without any guilt. Although she wasn't sure if she could truly fool this perceptive man, she could at least cover things up temporarily.

But now, she neither wants to deceive her beast husband nor can she tell the truth.

After a long silence, Shen Tang spoke in a hoarse voice, "If I told you that the price of knowing the truth might be losing me forever, would you still ask?"

"Tangtang?" Lu Xiao saw the tears in the corners of her eyes, and his usually composed expression showed a hint of panic.

He hurriedly pulled her into his arms, his voice hoarse, "I'm sorry, I was just too worried about you. I didn't mean to pressure you."

In the past, Lu Xiao would not have intended to pry into the matter. Everyone has secrets, and he was no exception.

But this time, he was so worried that something might happen to Shen Tang that he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

He was afraid he couldn't help her, afraid she would suddenly disappear and he wouldn't even know where she went or whether she was alive or dead.

Lu Xiao hated this feeling of being out of control.

I'm even more afraid of actually losing her.

Sensing the male's worry, Shen Tang reached out and wrapped her arms around Lu Xiao's broad shoulders, burying her face in his chest, her voice muffled, "There are some secrets I can't tell you right now, but I really should tell you something: I can teleport anytime, anywhere. That's... my special ability, I guess. I can instantly reach other places."

She chose to be honest, partly because she didn't want her husbands to worry anymore, and partly because she knew the secret would eventually come out.

"So you really left the capital tonight and even saw Necro's true form? And obtained his essence blood?" Lu Xiao's voice suddenly deepened. Realizing his tone was too impulsive, he softened his tone, "Tangtang, this is too dangerous."

"I know," Shen Tang explained softly. "Although there are risks, I'm confident I can succeed!"

"Have you thought about what would happen if we failed?" Lu Xiao gently stroked her eyebrows and eyes, his gaze deep. "Even if we find Necro's hiding place, you can let Xue Yinzhou and me go there."

Shen Tang shook her head. "Nekro is too cautious. If the two of you go, you might not be able to force out his true form..." She pursed her lips and said sadly, "Besides, there's not enough time. I have no choice but to do this, otherwise Xiao Jin will be beyond saving."

She looked up at Lu Xiao and said without hesitation, "If it were you who got into trouble today, I would have done the same!"

Lu Xiao's Adam's apple bobbed, and he could no longer utter a word of reproach.

He pulled the person into a tight embrace and sighed, "You're too kind."

From childhood to adulthood, he had never seen a female love her partner so deeply, even risking her life to save a male.

He didn't know whether to feel fortunate or worried about having such a kind and gentle mistress. But hearing those words, he was undoubtedly happy and content.

“But I hope that will never happen.” Lu Xiao lowered his head, his beautifully curved thin lips lightly touching her hair, kissing that sweet strand, “If that day ever comes, I will die in front of you first.”

"Ah Xiao!" Shen Tang looked up in shock, meeting the man's gentle smile.

He gently pinched her earlobe, his voice tinged with a hint of teasing, "It's just a hypothetical situation, it won't come true."

Shen Tang quickly covered his mouth, "Don't make such a bold statement!"
Lu Xiao chuckled and pulled her hand down, gazing intently at her. "Tangtang, meeting you is our good fortune, but I hope you won't take such risks again in the future."

“You are not only our mistress, but also the ruler of the country. Your safety is the most important thing.”

Shen Tang nodded obediently, indicating that she understood.

Looking at her like this, Lu Xiao knew she would do it again next time.

He sighed softly, helplessly ruffling her hair. It seemed he'd have to keep a closer eye on her from now on! Early the next morning, the doctor arrived with equipment to give Xiao Jin a full examination. The device inside his crystal core was still there, but it had malfunctioned—a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Xiao Jin was even more surprised to learn that he had this thing inside his body for the first time, and his face turned quite pale.

But he truly had no memory of it, and fell into deep doubt:
damned!
Was he really kidnapped and experimented on when he was a child?

Shen Tang comforted him, "Alright, don't think too much about it. Anyway, the matter is resolved, and there won't be any more problems in the future."

She livened up the atmosphere, "Rosonia lost the negotiations, and Xiao Jin has recovered. It's a double celebration! Let's have a big feast tonight to celebrate!"

This move received unanimous approval from the beastmen.

Even Song Fang brought her beastmen to help, and invited some officials and their families, and they had a very lavish banquet.

……

On the other side, at the rebel stronghold.

When Necro returned to the palace, it was already late at night, but he tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Whenever I close my eyes, that fleeting glimpse of her beautiful figure appears in my mind, along with those watery eyes.

Those eyes felt strangely familiar, as if I'd seen them somewhere before, but I just couldn't place them.

Necro was not a person with a good memory, and he paid no attention to people who were not important, not even bothering to give them a second glance.

"What is the leader thinking? Do you want to tell me?" A beautiful and alluring female snuggled into his arms, but the man's eyes were cold and indifferent.

The female was taken aback, but still forced a smile and coiled around him like a snake, her soft hand stroking his chest and slowly moving down. "Or... do something fun to relieve the boredom?"

Necro, however, remained unmoved, even pushing her away and getting up to leave.

The female stood frozen in place, too afraid to give chase.

Necro walked outside the palace and looked up at the dark sky.

The image of the beautiful woman under the moon resurfaced in my mind, along with the appearance of the black and white kitten—even the experience of being bitten last time became something to reminisce about.

No wonder Fu Teng was so attentive to that stray cat; it turns out he was keeping a mistress hidden away.

Recalling how he had nearly killed her on several occasions, Necro's usually cold and hard heart was filled with a trace of guilt.

No wonder she was in such a hurry to run away.

She must be terrified of him.

"Someone is coming."

Several figures quickly emerged from the shadows and knelt down. "What are your orders, Chief?"

"Find a female."

The beastmen looked surprised and dared not ask further. "Who is the female that our leader is looking for? Her name? What does she look like? What is her family background?"

Necro was silent for a moment. He didn't know who the female was, let alone her identity, and he hadn't even seen her face clearly. Yet, she haunted his dreams and filled him with longing.

After a long silence, he slowly spoke, "It is a... female cat, a black and white tabby cat."

"A reward of ten million will be given to whoever finds the person!"

"As ordered!"

good night~
