A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 124 Exquisite Dress
Hearing the commotion inside, Xiao Jin was so angry that he pushed the door open and barged in.

Shen Li had nothing to do with the scene of catching someone in the act of adultery; he was just bored and came to watch the show.

Catching sight of the water spilling onto the floor, Shen Li's captivating, fox-like eyes shifted toward the bathroom, a half-smile playing on his lips. "Little Tang'er's got quite the knack for having fun, huh?"

Jialan's eyes cleared, she cursed under her breath, quickly put away her fishtail, turned her head and looked coldly at Xiao Jin and Shen Li who had barged into the bathroom, her eyes practically murderous!
Upon witnessing the breathtaking scene before him, Xiao Jin's breathing became heavy, and his blood and qi surged to his upper and lower body.

He strode forward, pulled Shen Tang into his arms, and whispered in her ear, "Shen Tang, I'll drag you back and teach you a lesson you won't be able to get out of bed tonight!"

"...Don't be ridiculous! Nothing has happened between us yet!" Shen Tang's face flushed red. What kind of indecent words were those?

"Heh, you two are so close together. If I don't come over tonight, will the next step be to become one?" Xiao Jin gritted his teeth in anger. He had been holding back for so long during her heat, and finally got a chance, but he didn't expect to be lured away by this mermaid halfway through!

Cheap fish!

Shen Tang was at her wit's end and said irritably, "Put me down first!"

Xiao Jin released his grip, displeased, and said, "Then tonight..."

"We'll talk about it next time! I'm sleepy, none of you are to come over tonight!" Shen Tang said this and then ran away, returning to her room and locking the door.

The three men stood there, stunned, exchanging bewildered glances.

Shen Li, always eager for a good show, glanced at Xiao Jin with a smile, "I advised you not to barge in. Now Xiao Tang'er is angry. Everyone should go back to their own rooms tonight. Nobody will get away with this."

Xiao Jin glanced at him coldly, then looked at Jia Lan, a provocative smile playing on his lips, "Didn't you avoid that fat girl like the plague? Meeting her secretly late at night... You wouldn't actually have fallen for her, would you?"

Jia Lan remained silent with a sullen face. With a raised hand, an ice blade pierced towards Xiao Jin's heart.

Xiao Jin cursed under his breath, dodging with lightning speed, a bloody scratch appearing on his cheekbone.

His face darkened, and he twisted his wrist. "If you want to fight, just say so!"

"Alright, it's late at night, don't disturb Xiaotang's rest. If you want to fight, go outside." Shen Li smoothed things over.

Xiao Jin looked intently at Shen Tang's room, suppressing his fighting spirit. Since she was no longer there, he lost interest and strode out of the room.

Shen Li tossed Jia Lan a vial of medicine and said gently, "Rest well. This will help suppress it for now."

Jialan nodded her thanks and watched Shen Li leave.

He didn't rush to use the potion. He touched his lips, as if the soft touch still lingered, making his heart flutter.

His long eyelashes drooped slightly, his mind a jumble of thoughts.

How could he do such a thing to Shen Tang?

Damn it, this heat cycle is killing me, it's making me completely out of my mind!
After Jialan received the injection, her body temperature returned to normal temporarily, but the intense scene in the bathroom just now still lingered in her mind.

It kept him awake all night.

……

Meanwhile, after returning to her room, Shen Tang's heart was pounding like a drum.

That arrogant and conceited man, Jialan, actually kissed her?
Shen Tang wasn't so arrogant as to think that Jia Lan really liked her.

Under the influence of her estrus cycle, Jialan almost lost her mind.

At times like this, if the woman standing in front of him is attractive, and he's overcome with impulse, he'll accept her without hesitation.

Who knows, he might get angry and embarrassed after he sobers up!
Oh no, after what happened tonight, how is she supposed to face him tomorrow?
The next morning at breakfast, Shen Tang intentionally or unintentionally avoided Jia Lan. Whenever their eyes accidentally met, she would quickly look away, pretending not to have seen him. Jia Lan noticed her unusual behavior, and his handsome face darkened slightly.

Before, this lecherous woman would stare at him with her eyes glued to him, why is she so shy today?

Could it be because of last night...?

Jialan recalled the impulsive actions she had taken when she was not thinking clearly, her ears turned slightly red, and she subconsciously looked away.

Shen Tang couldn't hold back any longer and spoke first, "I know that what happened last night was not your intention. Let's both forget about it and pretend it never happened."

Jialan paused slightly, looking at her intently. "Forgot?"

"Yeah, I know you just couldn't control yourself during your heat, and I won't take it to heart. Anyway, nothing happened, so just forget about it." Shen Tang caught a glimpse of the young man's gloomy gaze and felt a chill run down her spine. She had already said all this; surely this bastard wouldn't still be angry?
Jialan's gaze fell on her still slightly swollen lips, and for some reason, a sense of restlessness rose in her heart.

He suddenly stood up and left his seat, saying coldly, "It's good that you know!"

Shen Tang was puzzled when she saw that he left without even finishing his meal. Was it really necessary? It was just a kiss, and she didn't force him to kiss her. Why was he so angry?
That jerk is so stubborn!

Xiao Jin cursed under his breath, "What's wrong with you?"

After saying that, he took the leftover food from Jialan and ate it together. This food was bought with money and couldn't be wasted.

Shen Li looked in the direction Jia Lan had left, a playful smile playing on his lips.

"System, why do I feel like all my hard work in winning over Jialan has brought our relationship back to square one? Did I lose a lot of affection points last night?!"

【No way! Not only did it not decrease, but it actually increased by 30 points in favorability!】The system said happily.

Shen Tang looked on in surprise.

Before she could recover from the surprise, the system dropped another bombardment of good news.
[Congratulations, host, for exceeding your mission targets last night! In addition to the charm buff, you've received an extra reward: a stunning dress! The reward has been automatically added to your inventory; please check it yourself!]

Shen Tang didn't believe the dog system would be so kind.

She recalled the kiss from last night, and her lips twitched slightly. "The next task you want to assign me isn't going to be kissing Jialan, is it?"

The system blushed slightly. "You noticed that? Well, since you killed two birds with one stone last night, the rewards for both missions will be given to you together!"

After Shen Tang finished her meal and returned to her room, she took out the dress from her system inventory and was utterly amazed by its beauty.

This is an absolutely stunning deep blue fishtail dress, with the skirt adorned with tiny rhinestones, resembling a starry night sky from afar.

The more she looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. She felt that this stunning fishtail dress was very similar to Jialan's fishtail.

[That's right, the design inspiration for this outfit comes from Jialan's fishtail, and it's also an exclusive reward for completing the Jialan conquest series of quests.] The system excitedly said, [When you wear this dress at the investiture ceremony, you'll absolutely dazzle everyone!]

Shen Tang put away her dress, a smile playing on her lips. She couldn't wait to clash with the female lead.

Let's see who truly amazes the empire on the day of the investiture ceremony.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, in the Lu family's territory.

Lu Shen, the head of the Lu family, called Lu Xiao back.

After asking about work matters, Lu Shen looked at the tall and aloof young man opposite him and asked casually, "How do you feel about your mistress?"
