Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!

Chapter 221: Chapter 213: No Working for Nothing!

Shen Qingli was overjoyed and quickly opened the door to go out, ”Is Yun Han really coming back?”

The attendant smiled, ”Young Master Yun’s triumphant return is quite glamorous! Not only did he break through the realm dramatically, but he also brought back countless precious Beast Crystals as a dowry, including a Ninth Rank Beast Crystal presented to Your Majesty! It’s said that Young Master Yun intends to formally marry the princess now that he’s back!”

Shen Qingli’s face flushed with excitement, and her previously gloomy mood disappeared completely. Yes, she still had Yun Han as her bargaining chip.

Yun Han loved her deeply and indulgently, with his whole heart, and many noble females envied her.

Whatever she wanted, he would give her, wishing he could pluck the moon from the sky for her.

As long as he was there, she was confident of victory.

Shen Qingli recalled how much Shen Tang used to be infatuated with Yun Han, and now the male she loved most was completely enamored with her. When that wretched woman found out, she’d surely be jealous and furious—it was delightfully satisfying to think about!

”Help me prepare a bath and clothes. I’ll freshen up and go to the city gate to meet Yun Han.”

”Yes, Your Highness!”

...

The happenings in the Imperial City were unbeknownst to Shen Tang, and she did not care.

She only wanted to do her part well and lead the city’s people to a better life.

Once the factory was built, it officially began operations.

Driven by the energy core, the factory orderly produced construction materials.

The city wall also officially began, starting with laying the foundation.

The Beastmen were thrilled internally, knowing that once the city wall was completed, they wouldn’t need to worry about beast tides and foreign invaders anymore, which made them work diligently.

Under the scorching sun, sweat dripped down the sturdy bodies of the young Beastmen, soaking their clothes.

Some burly men casually took off their shirts and tied them around their waists, revealing bronze muscles that rippled with their movements, filling the air with the scent of hormones and sweat.

Most of the females in the Beast World favored wild, robust, and handsome males.

Often female groups would run to the construction site to sneak peeks.

The young males without partners worked even harder when females were around, doing their best to showcase their strength and physique.

Noticing this phenomenon, Shen Tang smiled to herself and intentionally organized the city’s females and cubs to come and play around the site more often.

Many young females in the city, apart from selecting males, being pregnant, and raising cubs, had no other recreational activities.

However, the females loved eating and drinking, and they were very interested in Shen Tang’s delicious foods.

Having eaten meat and nutrient liquid from a young age, the females much preferred these grain-based foods. With city grain harvests being self-sufficient and not expensive, cheaper even than meat, most females’ homes were stocked with many grains, and they often sought Shen Tang’s advice.

Despite being a noble princess, Shen Tang was not pretentious with the commoners and was quite friendly and approachable.

The city’s females all liked her very much.

When she had time, Shen Tang would also teach females and cubs how to make simple meals.

They learned quickly, and sometimes, when in a good mood, she’d cook to showcase her learning, surprising the Beast Husbands at home.

Also, many young females came to the site with the intent of choosing a Beast Husband.

They brought homemade food to give to the Beastmen they fancied.

In and out, several beautiful stories naturally unfolded.

Half a month later, the new city wall’s foundation was complete.

The sunset’s glow fell on the city wall, with the towering steel bars like daggers poised to pierce the sky, hinting at its future magnificence and strength!

Xiao Jin leapt down from the top of the steel bars, casually accepting a towel from a Beastman nearby, and wiped away the sweat covering his body.

He glanced at the sky, planning to head home, when suddenly, he turned on his heel and jumped into the nearby river for a quick refreshing dip.

He shook his head, about to emerge, when he saw Shen Tang coming in the distance. His golden eyes brightened, and he submerged further into the water.

On the construction site, many Beastmen hadn’t returned home for days and were living in makeshift huts nearby.

After delivering meals to the workers with the females, Shen Tang looked around but didn’t see Xiao Jin and turned towards his grass hut, finding it empty.

Frowning, Shen Tang wondered where the sneaky leopard had gone. As she was about to turn away, strong, slender arms embraced her tightly from behind, drawing her into a wide, warm chest.

Xiao Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, his golden eyes as brilliant as the sun, and leaned down to nibble her ear, ”Whose little female is here to find me?”

Shen Tang’s mouth twitched as she turned and stomped on his foot, ”Sneaky! Trying to scare me to death!”

Xiao Jin yelped, looking pitiful, ”I just wanted to give you a surprise.”

”Who knows! Might think you’re some fearless rascal harassing me!” Shen Tang rolled her eyes gracefully, teasing and scolding.

She lifted the meal box onto the table, ”I heard from Shen Li that while I was away, you didn’t eat properly. I personally made these braised ribs this afternoon, give them a try.”

Xiao Jin sat across from her, drooling over the fragrance as he reached out to grab some.

Shen Tang tapped his hand with chopsticks, feigning anger, ”Why don’t you learn from Shen Li, look how polite he is!”

”What’s so good about that hypocritical foxy, do you like him more than me?” Xiao Jin’s golden eyes narrowed dangerously, instantly catching onto the crucial point.

Shen Tang couldn’t be bothered arguing, ”Fine, eat, just remember to wash your hands.”

Xiao Jin took the chopsticks and grabbed a large piece of the meat, singing praises, ”So delicious.”

Nowadays, Lu Xiao takes charge of the cooking at home, and his skills are undeniable, but Xiao Jin still favored Shen Tang’s dishes, for their taste was irreplaceable.

Shen Tang, having come over after cooking, hadn’t eaten yet.

She took two bowls of rice from the bottom of the meal box to eat with Xiao Jin.

After finishing their meal, the sky began to darken, as stars and the moon emerged.

There were still a few scattered Beastmen on the site.

Some returned to the city, others slept in the huts, some camped in the open.

Just as Shen Tang intended to ask Xiao Jin to head home for the night, he swept her into a carrying embrace, laying her on the stone bed.

Then, right before her eyes, he rapidly stripped off his clothes.

With broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and eight-pack abs, every inch of his toned muscles was bursting with explosive strength, and sexy veins were visible on his arms.

Such a young, fit body was a deadly allure to women!

Shen Tang swallowed nervously, her cheeks flushing red, words stumbling out, ”You... outside, isn’t it inappropriate?”

”You and I are partners, what’s inappropriate~” Xiao Jin smiled slyly, casting a glance outside the hut.

Rustling noises were faintly audible from the grass, stirring both their hearts.

Xiao Jin had been holding back these past days.

The Beast Husbands at home knew Shen Tang and Lu Xiao had consummated their relationship. The thought of her being cared for by another male during her half-month away left him decidedly unhappy.

He needed to find a chance for a hearty, satisfying meal.

Tonight, he wasn’t going back to avoid interruptions.

Seeing Xiao Jin’s eagerness, Shen Tang mischievously retorted, ”But tonight, I want to find Shen Li.”
