A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 121 Strange Heartbeat

The waiters, their faces pale from the scolding, were speechless.

There are plenty of empty courtyards in the palace, so deliberately arranging this dilapidated courtyard for Shen Tang and the others was intended to humiliate them.

But if they suggest changing it again, wouldn't that expose their dirty thoughts?
For a moment, they were caught in a dilemma, unsure of how to smooth things over.

Suddenly, a soft and pleasant voice came from behind.

"How dare you treat our distinguished guests like this!"

Upon hearing this voice, Shen Tang clenched her fists tightly, a surge of unspeakable rage rising within her, as if she were screaming to tear the person who had entered.

She knew that this was the influence of the original owner's emotions.

Shen Tang quickly composed herself and looked up.

Shen Li and the others also looked over, their expressions momentarily stunned.

The newcomer was a beautiful female dressed in white, with a slender and tall figure. She wore a veil, revealing only a pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes.

Although her face is not clearly visible, one can easily imagine the stunning beauty hidden beneath the veil.

Her skin was as white and lustrous as jade. She walked in the sunlight, her whole body seemingly enveloped in light, making it hard to look away.

This is the real princess of the palace, Shen Qingli.

Shen Li's breath hitched, his heart raced, and an indescribable heat rose within him.

It was as if some force was pushing him to develop feelings of love for the female in front of him.

Shen Li calmed himself down, looked down at Shen Tang, and his eyes regained their clarity.

He turned to look at the white-clad female in front of him, narrowing his captivating fox-like eyes, a thought flashing through his mind.

Strange, he had seen Shen Qingli before, but this was the first time he had this feeling.

As Shen Li pondered, she turned to look at Xiao Jin and Jia Lan and noticed that their expressions were also a little off. However, she quickly came to her senses and looked at Shen Qingli with a hint of wariness.

Shen Qingli stared intently at Shen Li and the others, her heart filled with joy and extreme satisfaction.

These beastmen are all exceptionally handsome, with superior physiques, each possessing unique characteristics and formidable talents.

The only pity is that she married that ugly freak Shen Tang!
Shen Qingli gave Shen Tang a cold look at the last moment, her fingers clenched tightly in her sleeves, hiding her anger and jealousy, while a few doubts arose in her heart.

Why does this imposter not seem as fat and bloated as she imagined?

However, seeing how tightly she covered herself up, not even daring to show her arms, one can imagine how ugly she must be, with a face full of pimples and pustules, so disgusting that she dared not show her face to anyone.

Thinking this through, Shen Qingli put aside her doubts and became even more smug.

That ugly toad is no match for her!
"Your Highness!" the attendant greeted.

"No need for formalities." Shen Qingli stepped forward and asked gently, "How did you get into a conflict with our distinguished guests? What happened?"

"This... these guests are dissatisfied with the accommodations arranged for them in the palace. There's been a minor disagreement, Your Highness, please don't take it to heart," the servant said awkwardly.

Shen Qingli glanced around the dilapidated courtyard, her brows furrowed, and her gentle voice carried a hint of reproach, "Prince Jialan and his companions are honored guests of the Empire, yet you have arranged such accommodations for them. What kind of decorum is this!"

As she spoke, she looked at Jialan and the others, her voice gentle like a spring breeze, "It was my mistake that the guests were treated so poorly. I will arrange new accommodations for you right away!"

Shen Tang's lips twitched slightly. This female lead was quite good at playing the good cop/bad cop. She didn't believe that these waiters didn't have some ulterior motive and dared to treat them so poorly!

A clear, cold laugh rang in my ears, "Change your accommodation? I don't think that's necessary."

Shen Qingli looked at the noble mermaid prince with brown hair and blue eyes, her smile faltering slightly. "Your Highness Jialan, what does this mean?"

Jialan raised his peach blossom eyes slightly, looking disdainful. "I have already experienced your country's hospitality. This shabby little palace can't even find a decent room, so I won't trouble the princess. We have our own place to rest." He, the noble prince of New Atlantis, would he put up with such humiliation? He had found this dilapidated palace extremely unpleasant when he first entered. If he hadn't had to follow Shen Tang, he would have turned around and left.

She wanted to invite them to stay?
He even complained about this shabby place.

Jialan didn't even glance at Shen Qingli, and dragged Shen Tang away from the palace.

Shen Li glanced at Shen Qingli with a playful smile, then turned and left.

Xiao Jin followed closely behind, his aura sharp and domineering, and no one dared to stop him.

Shen Qingli stared in astonishment, her face turning ashen. How could this be different from what she had imagined?
Damn it, she wanted to take this opportunity to boost her popularity, but it seems to have backfired.

Thinking about it, it was her oversight this time. Jialan and the others are proud and arrogant. They will definitely be furious and leave in a huff after being treated so disrespectfully.

It's a pity she didn't make a good first impression.

But it's not important.

Shen Qingli touched her veiled face and looked disdainfully in the direction Shen Tang had left. When Jia Lan and the others saw her face at the investiture ceremony, they would definitely discard that ugly fat woman like trash.

At the same time, Shen Qingli quickly sent people to follow them and see where they would stay.

After leaving the palace, Jialan booked the most expensive manor hotel in the capital.

The hotel was decorated more luxuriously than a palace, with all the necessary facilities, and was extremely extravagant. The rooms were even more magnificent than the original owner's bedroom in the princess's mansion.

There are also butlers and waiters with advanced etiquette training available 24 hours a day, providing perfect service and an exceptional experience.

Shen Tang clicked her tongue in amazement. Even during the years when the original owner was a princess, she had never enjoyed such treatment.

This place costs tens of millions to play in one night; it's for the super-rich and is much more grand than a palace.

Shen Qingli was nearly furious when she heard the news.

Ever since Shen Tang and his group entered the city, all the major powers in the capital have been secretly watching them, waiting to see them make a fool of themselves.

Unexpectedly, the palace failed to intimidate them; instead, Shen Tang and his group humiliated them on the spot, turning the situation into a source of amusement.

Despite the gossip and speculation from the outside world, Shen Tang didn't care. Staring at the countless zeros on the bills, she looked at Jia Lan in shock, "You, where did you get so much money?"

Jia Lan leaned back lazily on the sofa, her long, slender, pale hand gently swirling the red wine, her eyes a little guilty. "Don't worry about this. Anyway, it's my money. You just need to enjoy your stay."

As he spoke, he recalled the unpleasant things that happened in the palace and sneered, "From childhood to adulthood, I have always had the best in terms of clothing, food, housing, and transportation. Those poor wretches still want to intimidate me."

Shen Tang's lips twitched slightly. Seeing how confident he was, this fish must have been hiding a lot of dowry!

Shen Tang ate the hotel's special food, which was a rare delicacy in the beast world where such delicacies were almost extinct.

Jialan, used to home-cooked meals, lost interest in these so-called delicacies and asked Shen Tang for some dried meat to chew on.

Shen Tang kept glancing at him.

Jialan noticed her strange gaze, frowned, and his handsome face showed impatience. "Is there something dirty on my face?"

"No." She shook her head quickly.

"Then why are you stammering like this? Is there something you want to ask me?" Jialan narrowed her azure peach blossom eyes.

He really guessed it right.

Shen Tang thought for a moment and asked, "What is your impression of that princess in the palace?"
