A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 130 Beautiful Dance Steps (Bonus Chapter for Donations)
The system chuckled smugly, "Of course not! I'm the latest version of the system; I have countermeasures against those outdated and broken detection methods!"

Shen Tang raised an eyebrow, secretly relieved, and said with a smile, "I didn't realize you were so capable."

"Of course." The system said proudly.

Shen Tang found that this dog system was becoming more and more humane.

At first, this guy was an emotionless machine, ruthlessly issuing tasks. Although his nature of issuing unethical tasks remains unchanged, he's becoming more and more like a friend in our daily interactions.

The system explained, "After binding with a host, the system's personality will be influenced by the host and the surrounding environment, gradually simulating the system's own personality traits through constant exposure."

[Oh, and I have some good news for you, host. After your stunning appearance, the male leads' favorability ratings have increased significantly!]

[Xiao Jin's favorability +20!]

Shen Li's favorability +20!

[Lu Xiao's favorability +20! He has reached the favorability stage. Reward: One Superpower Breakthrough Potion]

[Jialan's favorability +30! She has reached the "like" stage. Reward: Special skill, Graceful Dance!]

Shen Tang raised an eyebrow slightly. She understood what the power breakthrough potion was; it was exactly what the name suggested, capable of helping her break through her power level.

But what is this beautiful dance step?
The system explained, "This skill can help a lazy host become a dance master. The dance steps have a beautiful and dreamlike effect. Try it and you'll see!"

Shen Tang's lips twitched slightly. She wasn't interested in this skill at all, and even felt it was a bit useless. She would rather be rewarded with a powerful attack skill instead!
Shen Tang took out a power breakthrough potion from his spatial storage.

To prevent anyone from noticing anything amiss, system items automatically transform into the most suitable form for the current environment when they appear in front of outsiders.

For example, the glass of red wine in her hand contains a power-breaking potion.

The original owner's mental strength was already at the S-level, and could not be broken through any further; he could only slowly repair his mental strength.

Thanks to her efforts over the past few days, together with Xiao Jin and Shen Li, her mental strength has recovered to 15%.

There's no need to rush as long as mental strength can recover gradually.

Which should I level up first, healing ability or earth-based ability?
Shen Tang prefers healing abilities.

Healing abilities sound more useful and valuable than earth-based abilities.

However, Shen Tang's basic healing ability is sufficient to handle most of the situations she encounters.

On the contrary, earth-based abilities are somewhat weak.

Both their attack and defense are lacking, and they often lack the ability to fight against high-level orcs.

After careful consideration, Shen Tang decided to focus on upgrading her earth-type ability first.

After taking the potion, her earth-elemental power surged dramatically, advancing to intermediate-level earth-elemental power, equivalent to the combat ability of a fourth or fifth-tier orc.

As long as you don't encounter a very powerful orc, you'll be fine; you'll have enough power to protect yourself.

The orc's gaze would occasionally fall on Shen Tang, but she ignored it completely.

Xiao Jin and the others looked very grim. They subtly placed Shen Tang in the middle, blocking the lurking of those damned male beasts.

A foreign envoy rose to offer a toast and congratulated the emperor, saying, "Your country has two beautiful and intelligent princesses. You are truly blessed, and everyone around you is envious!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingli's anger, which she had barely managed to suppress, flared up again. This was definitely not what she wanted to hear!
Today, all the limelight belongs to her. She is the unparalleled princess of the empire. What right does this damned imposter have to compare himself to her?! His Majesty and the Empress also had strange expressions upon hearing this, but they could only respond with smiles.

The Empress glanced curiously at Shen Tang several times, wondering what was going on. Shen Tang was clearly of average appearance, so how come after going to the polluted land, she not only didn't become ugly, but also grew into such a beautiful woman?

Cosmetic surgery isn't that high-tech, is it?

The Empress touched her meticulously maintained but slightly aged face, feeling utterly puzzled, yet too embarrassed to ask her for advice.

After the ceremony, there will be a banquet where the man and woman can invite their chosen partner to dance.

Shen Qingli's gaze kept sweeping over Shen Tang and his group's table, her anger growing stronger and stronger, she was practically about to explode with rage.

The investiture ceremony was completely out of her control. In desperation, Shen Qingli had to use her charm buff once, which finally managed to turn the tide and save the terrible situation.

However, she still didn't achieve the effect she envisioned, and even wasted an opportunity to seduce someone.

She only has one chance left to use the charm buff, and she's reluctant to use it.

All of this was the work of that bitch Shen Tang!

She'll make her pay!
Shen Qingli's eyes flickered, and she suddenly thought of a plan. Shen Tang, this stupid woman, had been in the palace for more than ten years, but she was foolish and clumsy, and knew nothing about etiquette and dance. She was no match for her at all.

If Shen Tang were to embarrass herself at the ball, it would definitely cause the orcs' impression of her to plummet.

Then she can shine brightly and reclaim the limelight that rightfully belongs to her!
Ha, so what if this ugly freak gets plastic surgery and becomes beautiful?
She's a fool at heart; no amount of beauty can change that fact.

Thinking this, Shen Qingli poured herself a glass of red wine and gracefully walked towards Jialan and Shen Li, her smile gentle, "May I have the honor of inviting you to dance?"

Xiao Jin and the others had strange expressions. They had no relation to this princess, so why was she inviting them to dance?
Xiao Jin was afraid of being pestered, so he immediately refused, "I can't dance, you'd better find someone else."

Shen Qingli's expression changed slightly. She didn't expect him to refuse so quickly. But thinking about it, this leopard was born in the slums and had never been exposed to the etiquette of high society. It was normal that he couldn't dance.

Her smile softened as she looked at Shen Li and the others.

Shen Li smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not very skilled in court dances, and I'm afraid I might disturb Your Highness's elegance."

Lu Xiao glanced at Shen Tang and also refused in a low voice, "It's not appropriate with the female master by my side."

The two of them refused in a fairly proper manner, but Jialan's words almost made Shen Qingli lose her smile.

Jialan, who was the most skilled in court dances in the room, said bluntly, "I broke my leg and can't dance."

Shen Qingli gritted her teeth in anger. How could he come to the banquet with a broken leg?
That scoundrel couldn't even come up with a decent excuse.

Shen Qingli was originally most confident in winning over Jialan, after all, mermaids have extremely high aesthetic standards and love beautiful women. She originally thought that her face was enough to capture his heart, but she did not expect that this mermaid's attitude was the most sarcastic and mean, which made her fake smile almost unable to stay on.

Shen Qingli looked at Shen Tang with jealousy. She was determined to embarrass her today and let these scoundrels see who their true match was!
She deliberately spoke very loudly, so that everyone in the room could hear her.

"How about we have Sister Shen Tang dance for us?"

Thank you "YBA小五" for becoming the new "Hall Master" of the book, and for the generous donation, an extra chapter has been added!
I've fallen behind on the extra chapters, I'll catch up slowly. Going to sleep now, goodnight~
(ps: Some players mentioned the affection level issue before, but I can't find the reply anymore, so I'll explain it here.)

Once an old relationship transitions to a new one, the value will be reset to zero.

For example: 100 points of normal affinity plus 20 points of favorability equals 20 favorability.
