Shen Tang raised an eyebrow in surprise. This scoundrel of a man is arrogant and a bit dumb, but in the end, his intentions aren’t all that bad, making her dislike him a little less.
The beast husbands, noticing the atmosphere between the two had eased, felt even more nervous internally. Although both were married, who could say for sure whether sothing unexpected might arise in the future?
No!
Absolutely not!
The clear sound of chopsticks being placed on a bowl rang, and Jia Lan’s eyes narrowed slightly, speaking coldly, "It’s so late already, isn’t it inappropriate for a married man like you to stay at another female’s house?"
A blatant hint to leave.
Yun Han looked apologetic, "I’m sorry, I disturbed you today, I should be going now."
He looked at Shen Tang and sincerely thanked her, "This al was delicious, the best I’ve ever had."
Shen Tang raised an eyebrow with a smile, "No need to be formal, eat more if you like it. There are plenty of ingredients, and when the food from Greenfield City gets delivered in a few days, you can buy as much as you want."
Yun Han was taken aback, not expecting her to be promoting even at a ti like this. A bitter smile tugged at his lips, "Alright, I’ll buy more then, so I can cook myself."
He stood up to leave, but as he reached the door, he suddenly stumbled and vomited against the wall.
Xiao Jin quickly jumped up, rushed over to support Yun Han, cursing, "Damn, don’t puke at my doorstep! I told you not to drink so much; the alcohol is strong, you drank two bottles and can’t handle it, don’t be a show-off!"
Yun Han looked guilty, "I..."
He waved his hand, wanting to push Xiao Jin away.
The pungent sll ca back, making him cover his chest and vomit all over the place again.
He even vomited on Xiao Jin’s clothes.
Xiao Jin erupted on the spot, cursing multiple tis.
His face twisted with disgust, and he wished he could throw Yun Han out right then and there!
But soon after, Yun Han lost his strength and fainted, leaning against him.
Xiao Jin’s forehead veins throbbed violently as he turned to Shen Tang, helpless, "Tangtang, what do we do?"
After all, Yun Han is the Young Master of the Yun Family, they couldn’t really throw him out, right? If others saw, they might think they were mistreating him, and if any accidents occurred, it would be blad on them. Even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn’t clear their nas.
Shen Tang rubbed her temples, sighing in headache, "Fine, let him stay tonight. I rember there’s an empty room. Jia Lan, help tidy it up a bit and put so fresh bedding. Oh, Lu Xiao, go make a sobering soup for him and bring it over later."
"Okay."
Lu Xiao went to the kitchen to prepare the sobering soup.
Jia Lan glanced at the unconscious Yun Han, reluctantly going to tidy the room.
Xue Yinzhou brought a broom and mop, cleaning up the vomit on the floor.
Once the room was ready, Xiao Jin threw Yun Han onto the bed and hurriedly went to shower and change his clothes, otherwise the mix of vomit and alcohol sll would kill him!
...
On the other side, in the hotel.
Shen Qingli’s mission failed, triggering a system punishnt!
"Ah!"
The mont her body was electrocuted, she let out a shrill scream of agony.
The electroshock lasted a full ten minutes.
Those short ten minutes felt endlessly long, like a century had passed, with her screams incessantly echoing in the air, all muted by the system to prevent others from hearing.
Shen Qingli’s vocal cords were hoarse from screaming.
She writhed and scread in excruciating pain, almost losing half her life in the process.
When the electrocution finally ceased, her hair was scorched and smoking, her skin was red and stinging, as if she had been scalded, with so areas even showing splits.
She lay on the ground in disarray, like a dead dog, struggling to even breathe. She remained motionless for several minutes, only occasional twitches indicating she was still alive.
[Host, the electrocution punishnt has ended. Please continue to complete the task diligently, or a harsher punishnt will follow!]
The system’s cold, rciless voice echoed in her ears like King Yan demanding her soul.
Shen Qingli’s fingers twitched, struggling to get up from the floor.
The sharp pain throughout her body caused her eyes to fill with blood as she scread, "I don’t want to do this task anymore, I want to unbind, I want to unbind!"
[Host, please reconsider. Everything you have now was given by . If you unbind, you will lose everything!]
[You’ll lose this beautiful appearance, the S-level spiritual power will disappear, the royal lineage will be gone, and everyone will discover that you are an impostor.]
[You and Yun Han were originally part of the Empire’s marriage alliance. If you lose everything, his feelings for you will also vanish.]
[The main system stipulates that the host has one chance to unbind the system. Have you considered this carefully?]
[Can you accept losing everything? Becoming a once ordinary and diocre ugly duckling in the mountains, forever unable to gain everyone’s adoration and love?]
[Are you prepared to endure the feeling of falling from heaven into hell, host?]
Seeing her pale rapidly at these harsh questions, Shen Qingli dug her nails sharply into her palms.
No, she couldn’t accept losing all of this. She didn’t want to beco ordinary and diocre; she wanted to stand at the summit, to have everything she desired!
Her life should be glorious and grand. She wasn’t content to be a dull, aningless ugly duckling!
Ultimately, Shen Qingli could only vent her resentnt on Shen Tang and Yun Han. If it weren’t for that bitch Shen Tang ddling, she wouldn’t have fallen to this point!
That bastard Yun Han infuriated her even more, as he didn’t speak up for her or heed her invitation, leaving her behind. How dare he?!
Shen Qingli waited at ho for Yun Han, hoping he’d return to make ands, but that bastard didn’t co back all night!
Her fury and disbelief intensified, prompting her to call him nurous tis, yet no one answered.
Where did he go?
Why was he nowhere to be found, and why couldn’t she reach him by phone?
A sinking feeling grew in Shen Qingli as she hurriedly bought a Recovery Potion from her space, ensuring that no marks were left on her body, and set out to search for Yun Han.
However, during her search, she overheard much gossip.
"Hey, did you hear? Last night soone saw Young Master Yun Han personally take things to Princess Shen Tang’s house and didn’t co out all night!"
"Oh my, he went there late at night, and stayed at her place all night... Could sothing else have happened?"
"During the chaos in the Imperial City back then, I saw Young Master Yun Han bringing things to Princess Shen Tang several tis. I thought it was suspicious back then; he seed more attentive to her than to Shen Qingli."
"Yesterday in the assembly, he even defended Princess Shen Tang in front of Princess Shen Qingli, and had a big argunt with her over it. There’s definitely sothing fishy!"
"Oh my, could it really be...?"
"Don’t speak nonsense, Yun Han is married to Princess Shen Qingli. They are partners; the Wolf Clan has always been loyal, he wouldn’t do such a thing!"
"You can’t really say that, wasn’t their wedding disrupted and unfinished?"
"If I rember correctly, they haven’t even completed the last step, exchanging tokens of love," soone said, "The Yun Family has strict rules; they must exchange the ancestral token with a female during the wedding to be truly married."
"Does that an they’re not yet married?"
The atmosphere of gossip grew more intense, filled with discussions and whispers.
Soone speculated, "Now that Princess Shen Tang has beco the Empire’s heir, do you think Young Master Yun Han might break up with Shen Qingli and marry Shen Tang?"
