The dog system jumped out again, like a lively onlooker. [Yeah, the host spent three days and nights blissfully with the Snake Husband in the cave. Originally, Xue Yinzhou pitied you, but it was the host who eagerly clung to him and wouldnât let go until he was utterly spent!]
[After the hostâs body and soul perfectly aligned with his during this encounter, Xue Yinzhouâs mood, which was long below 20 points, instantly soared to 100 points!]
Fragments of memories from those days in the cave flooded in like a tide, and Shen Tangâs pretty face flushed crimson.
At that time, she was not conscious, her body completely out of control, driven purely by instinct...
The Beastmanâs mating season was terrifying!
She had thoroughly experienced it!
Fortunately, after Xue Yinzhouâs perfect soothing, Shen Tang still felt some influence but not as intense anymore. She could just soldier through it.
"Tangtang?" Lu Xiao called out softly when he noticed she hadnât spoken for a while.
Shen Tang snapped back to reality, hugged the fluffy head of the Golden Eagle and rubbed it against his neck, sighing with a smile, "Actually, Iâm fine, not as bad as you guys thought. You didnât need to go out of your way to bring me back."
Lu Xiao chuckled softly with helplessness, "If the Female Master doesnât leave now, it wonât be you whoâs in trouble, but others."
"Hm?" Shen Tangâs mind hadnât caught up yet.
"The scent of your mating season can drive male creatures mad. Youâre powerful and have our protection, so thereâs no concern about safety, but the single males nearby might suffer."
"..." Ah, thatâs true.
Suddenly, Shen Tang felt the burden of "too much charm," "System, do you have any way to help me suppress the pheromones of mating season, at least not make it so obvious?"
Otherwise, going out would truly be a disaster.
The system explained, [Rest assured, host, there are inhibitors available for purchase in our System Mall, which only require 10 points. Drinking once lasts for half a month, preventing outsiders from being affected by the hostâs mating season. However, males who have had close contact and received the hostâs pheromones will still be tempted.]
"Thatâs fine, anyway, theyâre my Beast Husbands. I donât need to avoid them in such matters." Anyway, she enjoyed it.
Shen Tang bought a bottle of the inhibitor from the Space Mall and drank it. She didnât feel anything, looking at the stable flight of Lu Xiao, seemingly unaffected by her mating season.
Shen Tang suddenly had a mischievous thought, her fingers poking into his thick, fluffy feathers, gently stroking the soft fuzz and feather roots hidden within, her voice soft and enticing, "And you? Donât you desire it?"
Otherwise, having Xiao Jin send her back would be faster, right?
Clearly, the grumpy leopard lost the fight and was probably going crazy somewhere wailing now.
The Golden Eagleâs body suddenly stiffened, flight slowed, gliding with the air currents, "... Female Master, be good."
His low, slightly hoarse voice carried a note of helplessness with a gentle sigh.
Heâs no saint.
Itâs hard enough to bear.
If she kept provoking him like this, heâd truly go insane.
Shen Tang glanced at the abyss below, halting her teasing actions, quickly retracting her hand, not daring to move recklessly again.
Unfortunately, their return journey was not smooth, encountering a storm and torrential rain midway.
Lu Xiaoâs abilities did not fear bad weather much, but still, heavy rain and stormy currents affected him.
Worried that the bumpy ride might frighten the female or cause an accident, he took Shen Tang to a nearby small town to rest.
Another sleepless night.
The rain drizzled, winds wreaked havoc, leaving fallen blossoms and leaves.
The torrential rain fell intermittently for several days, consecutive days with gloomy weather and a sudden drop in temperature.
In the evening, the guard at the entrance of the Imperial Palace saw a tall, upright figure approaching.
"General Lu Xiao, youâve returned!" The young Beastman greeted respectfully.
Lu Xiao responded deeply, carrying the person in his arms into the palace.
Shen Tang lay in his embrace, sleeping sweetly, draped in a thick coat covering her body, revealing only half of a slender neck, with faint visible ambiguous kiss marks, provoking imagination.
A curious guard glanced and was quickly tapped on the head by the captain, "You brat, donât look where you shouldnât!"
The Beastman hurriedly bowed, silently grumbling to himself: if he wasnât mistaken, His Majesty was back!
Really great news.
Anyone with eyes could see what they had just experienced, making the young, awakening male blush, a ripple of romance rising in his heart, soon suppressed and dispersed.
The captain was right; he should just do his work properly without imagining things he shouldnât!
The next morning when Shen awoke, Lu Xiao was already gone, either to return to the Lu Family or somewhere else.
Steaming breakfast, prepared and set on the dining table.
After eating breakfast, Shen Tang was about to go to the study to handle the accumulated affairs over the past few days when she suddenly received an urgent message from Qiu Yang.
â His Majesty Jiuli is in trouble!
â Please, Master, save him, or His Majesty will certainly die!
Shen Tang couldnât care about past grievances, immediately allowing the system to teleport her over.
Qiu Yang personally came to the palace gates to greet her, surprised at her swift arrival, but there was no time for anything else, excitedly nearly kneeling, "After His Majesty secluded himself, went berserk, his power within went out of control, now only you can save him!"
"Secluded himself?" Shen Tangâs brows furrowed tightly, also realizing the urgency.
Qiu Yangâs tears flowed, pleading bitterly, "I know the master has past grievances with His Majesty, but for the sake of the alliance between our nations, please lend a hand to save him!"
"...Alright, enough chatter, quickly take me to him!"
The two rushed to the Volcano Forbidden Land.
