A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 128 Stunning the Audience!

Shen Qingli couldn't wait to show everyone how disgusting this ugly monster's face was!
But the next second, her robes fell to the ground, and her smile froze, looking even uglier than a ghost's wail.

Shen Qingli took several steps back in shock and disbelief. This! How could this be?!
It's not the obese, ugly, pimple-covered, and unsightly appearance one might imagine.

Shen Tang is tall and graceful, with fair and clean skin, delicate and beautiful face, and long, jet-black hair that falls to her waist like seaweed.

She wore a deep blue fishtail dress that accentuated her full and sexy waist. The fishtail cascaded to the ground like a starry sea, making everything else pale in comparison.

The orcs, who had originally planned to watch the spectacle, were all dumbfounded, and the scene fell into a deathly silence.

Xiao Jin stared blankly at the graceful figure on the stage, his Adam's apple bobbing. A sudden impulse surged within him, a desire to snatch her away and prevent others from peeking.

Even Shen Li's captivating, amorous fox-like eyes showed a moment of stunned disbelief.

He remembered last night; it wasn't a hallucination.

So that was her intention.

Wow, Xiao Tang'er really knows how to surprise people.

After returning from his family, Lu Xiao went through the process of being reinstated to his original position, which delayed him. He did not go back last night and came directly to the ceremony site this morning to meet with Xiao Jin and the others.

Lu Xiao stared intently at the figure on the stage, his breath slightly catching in his throat. A slight ripple appeared in his usually calm and undisturbed heart.

The most shocked was none other than Jialan.

He stared intently at Shen Tang on the stage, and at the dark blue fishtail dress she was wearing. His eyes were deep and unfathomable, like a turbulent sea, churning with stormy waves.

The eldest prince, Shen Xu, also stared intently at Shen Tang, his thin lips pressed tightly together, his face full of astonishment.

The younger sister he remembered was clearly an ugly duckling with an ordinary appearance. How could she have become so beautiful?

I don't know if a few seconds, a few minutes, or even longer passed.

The orcs were only just recovering from their shock.

Foreign envoys rose to their feet, raising their wine glasses in exclamations of admiration: "She is as beautiful as a goddess descended to earth, even more beautiful than the rumors describe!"

Some of the bewildered envoys asked, "Is this beautiful and noble woman the imperial princess being crowned today?"

"No, she is the exiled Princess Shen Tang. The one next to her in white is the real princess who is being crowned today."

"But why do I feel that the woman in the dark blue fishtail dress has an amazing appearance and demeanor, more like a noble and beautiful princess than the woman in the white dress?"

"Yes, she has a kind of magic about her that makes me unable to take my eyes off her and I just want to keep watching her forever."

"She is so beautiful, and this gorgeous fishtail dress makes her look so elegant and noble. Even the real princess next to her pales in comparison."

"If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten who the real princess was on stage."

"Me too, I'm not in the mood to see Princess Shen Qingli anymore."

"..."

The murmurs from the audience reached Shen Qingli's ears and nearly made her furious.

She clenched her fists tightly inside her sleeves, her nails digging fiercely into her palms, yet she seemed oblivious to the pain.

Shen Qingli stared fiercely at Shen Tang, refusing to believe it was true.

Why did this bitch not only not become ugly, but actually become so beautiful?
Shen Tang's smile seemed to mock her stupidity and ignorance. Shen Qingli's eyes blazed with fury, wishing she could tear her face apart!

The emperor and empress also recovered from their shock, their faces filled with astonishment.

Shen Tang's appearance was originally very ordinary. Even if she hadn't become ugly, how could she have grown so beautiful in just one year?

What exactly happened in the middle?
Despite her rage, Shen Qingli retained a sliver of reason and quickly gave a wink to the orcs arranged below the stage.

Soon, voices of doubt arose from the crowd: "No, she's not Shen Tang, she must be a fake!"

"Yes, we've seen photos of the former princess; she didn't look like that at all!"

"You're fake, you must be a stand-in that Shen Tang found!"

More and more inflammatory voices, accompanied by doubts, eventually turned into insults.

"Imitation, get down here!"

"Hand over the real Shen Tang right now, and hand over that ugly hag!" Shen Tang's smile remained unchanged. She had long anticipated this scene. Shen Qingli had made ample preparations and was determined to ruin her reputation.

Beauty alone is not enough to win people over.

Shen Qingli could use all sorts of reasons to slander her.

Shen Tang glanced at the indignant orcs below the stage and smiled faintly, "I am Shen Tang, the former princess of the empire. Anyone who has doubts can come up here and confront me face to face!"

Simultaneously use the charm buff [A Fleeting Moment].

The doubts from the audience vanished instantly.

The eyes of everyone present flickered violently. They suddenly felt their bodies heat up, their blood surge, and their hearts pound!
Shen Tang's gentle voice was like a refreshing breeze, captivating their souls.

They no longer questioned anything she said.

Yes, she is the real Shen Tang, the imperial princess Shen Tang!
The orcs even felt an urge to worship and submit!

A young orc looked at Shen Tang with eyes full of mad love, and immediately transformed into beast form, kneeling on the ground to express his submission and affection.

Someone in the crowd shouted.
"your Highness!"

Soon, more and more people were shouting,

"Your Highness!"

"The only princess in my heart!"

My love!

Shen Qingli was trembling with rage, her teeth grinding to powder, she was almost driven mad with anger.

This is her investiture ceremony; she is the star of the show, the empire's only princess!
Have these orcs gone mad? They actually recognized this imposter as a princess!

How could Shen Qingli not understand? She had been tricked by this vile woman and fallen for her wicked scheme!

Seeing the situation getting increasingly out of control, Shen Qingli disregarded the elaborate ceremony she had prepared.

She quickly removed her veil, forcing a smile, "Welcome everyone to my investiture ceremony. I am Princess Shen Qingli of the Empire. I will never let you down and will lead the people of the Empire to a bright future!"

Only then did people look at her and whisper among themselves.

"Oh, this is the Imperial Princess. I almost mistook her for someone else."

"Princess Shen Qingli's beauty is no exaggeration, she is very beautiful."

Shen Qingli is indeed beautiful enough to be arrogant.

With her jet-black hair and snow-white skin, and graceful figure, her captivating peach blossom eyes were truly mesmerizing. She was both pure and beautiful, a peerless beauty.

Unfortunately, people only remember the first and rarely pay attention to the second.

Having already experienced the shock of beauty, the beastmen were much less impressed by Shen Qingli's beauty, which was far less stimulating than the contrast between Shen Tang's beauty and ugliness.

This fell far short of Shen Qingli's expectations of stunning the empire.

Even many orcs' eyes were still fixed on Shen Tang. Shen Qingli was so angry that her lungs felt like they were going to explode. Today was supposed to be her investiture ceremony, but this bitch Shen Tang stole all the limelight!
Xiao Jin, Lu Xiao, and Jia Lan didn't even give Shen Qingli a glance.

Their gazes remained fixed on Shen Tang from beginning to end, making it difficult to see any other scenery.

Shen Li glanced at Shen Qingli indifferently, and after seeing her embarrassed and angry expression, his thin lips curled up with amusement. He then looked back at Shen Tang with admiration in his eyes.

Xiao Tang'er is really getting more and more beautiful.

She is enough to rival the true princess of the empire.

Recalling the experience of that night, his fox-like eyes darkened slightly, and he suddenly wanted to try it again.

Xue Yinzhou looked at Shen Tang, who had amazed everyone, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed, a look of surprise flashing in his snake-like eyes.

But then, as if remembering something, his eyes darkened, and he turned and left.

On the other side, a system notification sounded in Shen Tang's mind.

[Host, I've detected Xue Yinzhou's aura fluctuations; he's also present!]
