A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 132 Unlucky Buff
Shen Li, Xiao Jin, and Lu Xiao were also captivated by the sight, but when they thought about how the mermaid had been the one who had stolen the limelight from her, their expressions became somewhat inscrutable.

Shen Xu looked towards the dance floor, his face full of astonishment, a look of amazement flashing in his eyes. When did this ugly duckling learn to dance?

Seeing this, Shen Qingli was so angry that her face contorted, and she almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

The noblemen dancing with her quickly steadied her waist and hastily apologized, "Excuse me, did I step on Your Highness's skirt?"

The commotion attracted a lot of attention, but that wasn't the effect she wanted!
Shen Qingli's face turned pale and then red, but she forced a gentle smile. "...It's nothing, I'm just a little tired. I'll go rest for a while."

After Shen Qingli finished speaking, she left the dance floor and sat on the sofa to rest.

Her aura was indescribably gloomy, and even the male beasts she served dared not approach, feeling that this princess was somewhat abnormal and unfamiliar.

Shen Qingli stared fiercely in a certain direction on the dance floor, and suddenly asked in her mind,

"I still have one negative buff that I haven't used yet, right? I'm going to use it now!"

The system inquired, "[Host, are you sure you want to use this now? This is a rare buff opportunity; isn't it a waste to use it in such a minor situation?]"

Shen Qingli gritted her teeth, "I can't take it anymore! This bitch keeps stealing my thunder, and today I'm going to make her look bad!"

Shen Qingli didn't want to waste such a precious opportunity, but she was so provoked today that she was almost going crazy. Her mind went blank, and even the system couldn't stop her. She could only say, "[Alright, please select the target of the negative buff.]"

"Shen Tang, I want her to fall down at the ball! To embarrass herself! To make a fool of herself!"

[Okay, host, the buff has taken effect.]

On the dance floor, Shen Tang and Jia Lan danced with increasing passion.

She was peacefully enjoying the moment when suddenly her foot slipped and she almost fell to the ground.

"Be careful."

Jialan reacted quickly and caught her, preventing her from falling flat on her face in public.

He frowned at Shen Tang, his voice clear and gentle, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I think I stepped on something, the floor is a bit slippery..."

As Shen Tang spoke, she looked down and saw a puddle of red wine on the ground where the two of them had just been. She didn't know who had spilled it.

Jialan saw it too, summoned a messenger to clean up, and took her to another place.

He checked carefully this time and there were no water or wine stains on the ground.

But after jumping for a short while, Shen Tang's body swayed and she fell to the ground.

Shen Li and the others felt a chill run down their spines and almost rushed forward.

Jialan turned around and hugged her, so Shen Tang didn't fall onto the cold, hard ground, but instead fell on him.

Jialan frowned slightly, remaining silent as she stared intently at her. "...Did I step on your skirt?"

"No." Shen Tang shook her head. Jia Lan was a prince; he wouldn't make such a basic mistake. She muttered to herself, "I don't know why, but my legs suddenly went weak just now..."

This sudden turn of events disrupted the harmony of the ball.

The audience members present were discussing it animatedly.
"What happened? How could she fall down while jumping? Could it be that this female really can't dance?"

"I was really enjoying watching it, what a spoilsport!"

"She really is as stupid as the rumors say. His Highness Shen Xu was right. How could she make such a basic mistake on such an important occasion?"

"Shen Tang's dancing is far inferior to Princess Qingli's. Let's go and watch someone else dance."

Seeing Shen Tang embarrass herself in public, Shen Qingli's frustration vanished, replaced by a joyful smile.

Those mere imposters dared to fool her and oppose her; this is their retribution!
Shen Tang sensed the unfriendly gaze that seemed to be taking advantage of her misfortune. She turned her head and saw Shen Qingli's smug smile not far away, and her heart instantly became suspicious.

She anxiously asked the system, "Is Shen Qingli up to something again?" [Yes, host, I just sensed the negative buff [Bad Luck] taking effect.]

Shen Tang cursed inwardly. Sure enough, it was the female lead who was up to something. She was so stupid that she even had to cause trouble while dancing!

Jialan stood up and helped Shen Tang up. "Did you hurt yourself?"

"It's okay, I didn't fall." With him acting as a cushion, Shen Tang was completely unharmed.

Jialan glanced around, feeling somewhat puzzled. She felt that the ball was too complicated, as if someone was secretly plotting something.

Unfortunately, he didn't have a system and didn't know that Shen Qingli was behind it.

The music was melodious, and the ball was only halfway through; it was not yet over.

Shen Tang learned from the system that Shen Qingli had already used up her chance to apply the negative buff.

She took Jialan's hand and smiled, "It's okay, it was just an accident. Don't worry about it, let's keep dancing!"

Jialan looked at her in surprise, seemingly not expecting Shen Tang to like dancing so much.

Why is this lazy, gluttonous woman suddenly so leisurely and refined?
Shen Tang seemed to read his mind and smiled brightly, "I really enjoy dancing with you."

“…” Jialan’s ears turned red.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Jialan's favorability has increased by 5!]

Shen Tang raised an eyebrow; she seemed to have discovered another new person trying to take advantage of loopholes.

Since Shen Li, that sly fox, entered the liking stage, it has become increasingly difficult for him to gain favor. Shen Tang was just worried about this, but unexpectedly, this mermaid did the opposite. The further things went, the more innocent and shy she became, and the faster she gained favor.

Jialan put her arm around her waist and continued dancing.

The two figures moved through the ball, becoming the most beautiful sight.

The little incident was quickly forgotten, as if it had never happened.

The jeers from the crowd gradually subsided. The orcs watched the two dancers' graceful and fluid movements, completely mesmerized, thinking: Perhaps it really was just an accident!

When Shen Qingli saw this scene, her smile cracked. She felt like this negative buff had been used for nothing.

Shen Qingli felt her heart bleed with pain, cursing the system inwardly, "How could you use something so important in such a trivial situation? Why didn't you stop me?!"

The system rolled its eyes. [You're the host, of course I have to listen to you. If you say use it, I'll use it.]

Shen Qingli was speechless, her lungs were about to explode with anger.

The dance ended there.

The final part of the ball included a kissing ceremony.

sealed with a kiss.

Some of the people attending the ball are already couples, while others are strangers who have taken a liking to each other. If they are satisfied with each other, the man and woman can express their affection with a kiss at the end of the ball.

After leaving the dance, you can take your crush straight home and have a good time in bed.

Shen Tang caught sight of a strange couple directly in front of her, embracing and kissing passionately in front of everyone, their faces flushed red.

This is so open! So embarrassing!

Shen Tang was thinking of getting off the dance floor as soon as possible.

The young man's hands gripped her waist tightly, preventing her from moving.

Shen Tang was stunned. Just as she was about to ask a question, Jia Lan's cool, jade-like hand pinched her chin and he lowered his head to kiss her.
