Qingzhi agreed, pulled Sang Tian into his arms, and asked about her plans.
"Are you really going to divorce them?"
Sang Tian found a comfortable spot to lie down. "Well, I'm not an auction item or a prize. It's not something that can be obtained by whoever bids the highest or whoever is the most capable. They don't care about my thoughts at all."
Qingzhi chuckled softly, her voice melodious.
"Your idea is to find more beast husbands?"
"I'm not a womanizer, it's just that I'm too kind. I just want to give them a home. I can't do anything to hurt orcs." Sang Tian said this with barely suppressed emotion.
The room was dark, with moonlight streaming in through the window. Qingzhi remained silent, her gaze fixed on Sang Tian, her emotions unreadable.

The night was quiet, but the Shen family's house was brightly lit, with the occasional sound of whips cracking echoing through the air.
Que Shiwen and Hu Xi knelt in the middle of the living room. The light shone on them, revealing their clothes torn by whips, exposing their skin and shocking wounds. Dozens of bloody marks were imprinted on their bodies.
The other three beastmen stood to the side, all with furrowed brows and serious expressions.
Shen Jinxi brandished her silver whip without any mercy, "Who gave you the audacity to kill Zuo Ya?"
After he finished speaking, Que Shiwen was whipped again, and he groaned.
“We are standing up for the female master. Besides, this matter is already over. Why should the female master be angry?”
Shen Jinxi was furious, remembering how she had killed a female in her past life to escape, and how Xingduan had severely punished her after finding out.
This is why she let Zuo Ya slander her on the cloud without choosing to fight back. If Sang Tian and the others found out about this, she would be finished.
"Black market people have been staking out our house for a week. Do you really think you two did something flawless?"
If this group hadn't lingered, she might have actually believed what Que Shiwen and Hu Xi said. Fortunately, she had the system investigate their movements and discovered that they had indeed gone to the black market the night Zuo Ya had her accident.
Shen Jinxi felt her blood rush to her brain, and she dared not think about the consequences.
“I’ve observed that there are still some people near Sang Tian’s house. Mistress, you’re overthinking it.” Que Shiwen said expressionlessly, his tone indifferent.
They were equally uneasy. They had all returned from Snowfall Island, so why were these people still waiting outside?
How did the female master become so certain that he and Hu Xi were the ones who did it?
Everything was fine when they first came back, but after returning to the room once, the female owner started acting strangely.
Could it be true that Jin Che said the female lead has a master guiding her from behind?
Shen Jinxi realized that Que Shiwen's mouth was as hard as steel, and she couldn't pry it open no matter how hard she tried.
Her gaze shifted to Hu Xi.
Hu Xi looked pained and tormented, and his eyes were filled with fear when he looked at Shen Jinxi. His injuries were the most severe.
"My lady, since what's done is done and Xingduan didn't pursue it further, we will never make the same mistake again. Please give us another chance."
Que Shiwen mistakenly believed that Shen Jinxi was going to harm Hu Xi, and hurriedly admitted his mistake.
Given Shen Jinxi's methods, it's entirely possible that she could kill Hu Xi.
Shen Jinxi curled her lips into a cold smile and withdrew the whip. "If Sang Tian and the others notice anything amiss and report it to Xing Duan, I will not protect you. Good luck to you."
"This matter has nothing to do with the female master. Don't worry, even if Xingduan investigates, we won't implicate you."
Judging from Xingduan's work style, he would only extract memories from the day the incident occurred.
Shen Jinxi looked at Que Shiwen and Hu Xi with disappointment in her eyes, and made up her mind to focus on cultivating the other three beast husbands in the future, deciding not to waste time and energy on the two of them.
"If anyone dares to act on their own like them in the future, they will suffer the same fate. The next time you two come to the island, you won't need to go."
Shen Jinxi's wrist ached, and her delicate features were filled with disgust. She felt a surge of anger thinking about these useless and incompetent people. After uttering this harsh remark, she turned and went upstairs, not even sparing the others a second glance.
After Shen Jinxi went upstairs, Hu Xi collapsed, lying on the cold floor, her breathing gradually weakening.
"Hu Xi!" Bai Jie rushed over and helped the person up. "Quickly help him up, I'll go get the medicine."
Jin Che supported Hu Xi and realized that he was barely hanging on by a thread. Through this experience, the five of them witnessed Shen Jinxi's ruthlessness.
"You were both doing this for her own good, how come this female master doesn't appreciate it at all?" Huang Hao spoke up for the two, his eyes stinging at the wounds on Que Shiwen and Hu Xi's bodies.
"We used to think she was such a good person, but it turns out it was all an act. She was so ruthless to her beast husband. Now I finally understand why her previous beast husband didn't like her."
Huang Hao is straightforward and can't keep things to himself; he blurts out everything on his mind.
"Alright, that's enough. We'll all be living under her control from now on. It's better to know her bottom line now than to die quietly later," Que Shiwen said, forcing himself to speak despite his pain.
Bai Jie quickly brought the medicine, and Huang Hao and Jin Che carried the person to the sofa for treatment.
"Although Sang Tian doesn't have any special abilities, at least we won't have to live in constant fear. With Shen Jinxi's unpredictable personality, we won't even know how she'll die in the future."
Seeing Hu Xi unconscious, Huang Hao's resentment grew even stronger, and in his anger, the yellow snake scales on his neck became faintly visible.
"Alright, blame it on our bad luck. First, we were assigned a useless female master by Xingduan, and now we've been given a powerful one. She's not someone to be trifled with." Bai Jie's tone was bitter, with a hint of self-mockery.
Jin Che was applying medicine to Hu Xi, but he didn't understand.
"I can understand your bad luck, but why can't my lucky koi fish life be bad too?" Jin Che was very depressed.
The tense and serious atmosphere eased considerably because of Jin Che's words.
Que Shiwen gritted his teeth and applied medicine to himself, determined to find out what Shen Jinxi's purpose was in switching them.
The next morning, Sang Tian slept soundly until dawn; the fight between the three men clearly did not affect her sleep.
Upon opening her eyes, Sang Tian was met with Qing Zhi's handsome face. Her gaze traveled downwards, where he had his eyes closed, long eyelashes, and a high nose bridge.
Qingzhi's appearance is the least outstanding among the five, but he is the kind of person who grows on you and becomes more and more likable the more you look at him. After being used to eating big fish and meat, he looks like a simple bowl of porridge and side dishes.
Sang Tian extended her index finger and traced the shape of his lips from the root of his nose down to the tip of his finger.
Suddenly, the man's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he opened his eyes, his deep green pupils fixed on her.
"Good morning." His voice was low and husky, as if he had just woken up, which had a unique charm.
Sang Tian tried to pull her hand back, but Qing Zhi held her wrist. "You can still touch me even when I'm awake. You can touch me wherever you want."
"Anywhere is fine?"
The sun was high in the sky outside, and Sang Tian's room faced the sun. Sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, giving the room a warm, yellowish glow.
Sang Tian had heard that snakes were creatures that seemed to possess dual pistols...
She lowered her eyes, her thoughts racing, a struggle between her inner restraint and desire, unable to find an answer for a long time.
Qingzhi watched her changing expressions and smiled. "What are you thinking about?"
I've checked the feedback from you all, and starting today, the chapters will be updated promptly at 8 PM.
Since I already updated this morning, I'm posting the extra chapter now, and just wanted to let you know.
