Xiao Jin listened to the few lighthearted words she ntioned, understanding perfectly well: How could it possibly be so easy?
That was tens of thousands of troops, even a Ninth Rank Beastman would have to face life and death struggles to fight their way out!
Not to ntion there was a Peak Ninth Rank Zaxxis at the ti, he couldn’t even imagine the obstacles Shen Tang faced or the kind of courage she needed to risk her life to bring him out of there.
Xiao Jin vaguely sensed that things weren’t as simple as she said, but knowing Shen Tang’s character, asking further would be useless if she didn’t want to talk about it, so he didn’t press the matter.
He held her, softly reproaching himself, "I’m sorry, Tangtang, I couldn’t protect you well!"
"Everything is in the past, let’s not ntion it anymore." Shen Tang nestled in his arms, just grateful to be alive.
anwhile, her palm exuded green Healing Ability, helping Xiao Jin heal the wounds on his body.
After a mont of tenderness, the two continued on their way.
This place was far from the borders controlled by the rebel army, but they still had to guard against another pursuit, especially since they’d already been gone for over a day and needed to return to the main forces quickly.
Shen Tang’s body was severely cold, her legs and feet sowhat uncooperative, and she nearly stumbled when getting up.
Xiao Jin quickly transford into his beast form, curling his tail to lift her onto his back.
Shen Tang was surprised to find that Xiao Jin’s beast form was more robust and grand than before.
His original form was almost pure black, but now on closer inspection, his Black Panther body had golden dark patterns floating on it, with a faint golden thunder mark on his forehead, looking as if he’d undergone a transformation, exuding an inexplicable majestic and dominant aura!
"...You broke through to the Ninth Rank?" Shen Tang felt Xiao Jin’s aura becoming thicker and stronger, but she was still very surprised.
It was her first ti seeing such a significant change in the original form after a breakthrough.
Xiao Jin nodded, "Not only did I break through, but my second skill also successfully awakened, so I can take you back sooner!"
Originally, Xiao Jin wanted to spend more ti alone with her and didn’t want to et with other Beast Husbands so soon, but he knew Shen Tang was definitely anxious to return now, so he didn’t hesitate to use his superpowers to take her back as quickly as possible.
His superpower can cross nearly a hundred kiloters in an instant.
However, considering Shen Tang’s physical condition, it wasn’t suitable for extensive use of the Flash Ability, so he rested intermittently, ensuring he could bring her back to the main forces in half a day at most.
Having been suddenly taken away and without any news for such a long ti, Lu Xiao and the others must have been anxious, so Shen Tang hurriedly used her Light Computer to contact them.
—Rest assured, Xiao Jin and I are fine, we’re on our way back.
She wasn’t sure if they could see it.
As soon as Shen Tang sent the ssage, a video call from Lu Xiao ca through.
She quickly answered it.
On the screen, Lu Xiao’s handso and deep face appeared.
In her impression, he always had a calm and unhurried deanor, but his face now showed evident panic, faint dark circles under his eyes, and his complexion was slightly haggard.
As soon as he saw Shen Tang, Lu Xiao’s chest heaved violently, and he spoke up, "Female Master, where are you now? I’ll co get you."
"I..." Shen Tang looked around at the surrounding wilderness and truthfully, she didn’t know where she was either.
She was about to activate the Light Computer to locate her, but several video calls ca in one after another.
Shen Li, Jia Lan, Xue Yinzhou.
Shen Tang simply created a group and initiated a group call.
The Beast Husbands were all extrely tense and haggard, but they finally let out a sigh of relief when they saw her alive and well, feeling as though they’d regained half their souls.
After reassuring them, Shen Tang got to the point, "Xiao Jin and I are all right, we’ll be back in half a day, don’t worry, focus on leading the main forces to Kongdu City, and we’ll et you in the city."
Shen Li said, "The forces have already been arranged for others to lead, we’ll co pick you up first."
The Beast Husbands weren’t at ease, needing to see her with their own eyes in case anything else happened on the way.
Shen Tang had no choice but to share her real-ti location in the group for later reunion.
After giving final instructions, Shen Tang hung up and continued on her journey at ease.
Shen Tang lay on the Black Panther’s back, closing her eyes for a short rest, when suddenly a sowhat dejected voice from the system echoed in her mind,
[Host, I’ve got so bad news for you. Because I forcibly used the Invisibility Talisman, violating system rules, I’ve been punished with a mandatory half-month dormancy... During this period, the host can use the system map, but other permissions will be temporarily locked.]
Shen Tang knew the system also did it for her sake, so she wasn’t too surprised and nodded to indicate she understood.
Soon after, the system fell into a dormant state.
She couldn’t call it no matter how hard she tried.
Along the way, the wind and snow gradually lessened, and Shen Tang seed to hear the sound of flowing water.
She sniffed, detecting a faint sulfur sll.
Opening the system map, she scanned the area and found a natural hot spring 1.3 kiloters away.
Having been buried in the snow for so long, her body was still a bit stiff and cold. After battling the cold wind, her face and nose were red from the chill. A hot spring soak sounded too good to be true.
Shen Tang quickly patted the panther’s head, reminding him to stop, "Turn left, go left! There’s a hot spring not far from there, perfect for warming up and stretching out. You’re dirty too, you could use a wash."
Xiao Jin also slled the sulfur and didn’t need Shen Tang to say more; he found the direction and headed towards the hot spring with her.
Upon arrival, Shen Tang was greatly surprised to find it was a large hot spring waterfall!
Thick white snow piled between the layers of tree branches, the spring water was crystal clear, steam rising and lting the thick snow around, revealing withered yellow grass at the spring’s edge, an extraordinarily beautiful scene.
She flipped off the Black Panther’s back, quickly undressed, and "plop~" jumped into the hot spring.
The temperature was warm and comfortable, Shen Tang felt her entire body relax, dispelling the chill within and feeling incredibly refreshed.
Xiao Jin also transford into human form, undressed, and entered the hot spring.
Shen Tang swam gracefully to the edge of the pool, happily splashing water on her arms, her skin fair and healthy, adorned with glistening water droplets, dazzling to behold.
Unable to resist, Xiao Jin looked at her, his Adam’s apple subtly moved.
The woman’s face was exquisite and charming, her figure voluptuous and graceful, her black hair like clouds, dampened with mist, cascading over her shoulders and down her back.
Her hair still held flecks of drifting snow, her skin snowy white, and her cheeks flushed with heat as if stained with blush, vividly beautiful.
He could also scent the waves of fragrance from her body.
Especially since the pool water was crystal clear, everything was visible.
Xiao Jin suddenly felt a surge of restlessness within him; he quickly averted his face, trying hard not to look at her, focusing instead on cleaning himself.
With a female so close, he didn’t feel comfortable washing anything else, fearing that a touch might make him lose control, so he simply washed the wounds.
Xiao Jin scrubbed his arms and chest, those areas most easily injured in battle, although the wounds had been healed by Shen Tang’s Healing Ability, remnants of blood and dirt remained, and he cleaned them away.
The clear water cascaded over the man’s robust chest, each of his eight-pack abs distinct and well-defined, his muscles delineated with solid clarity, his arms long and strong, with protruding veins, oozing a potent allure of strength.
The water vapor offered no cover, his perfect physique of broad shoulders and a narrow waist was on full display, young, sexy, and fit, with glistening dewdrops trailing along the pronounced curves into the water, a sight of unspeakable allure and sensuality.
