A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 193 Fiancée

After Shen Tang stepped out of the spaceship, a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the side quest: A Farewell Kiss with Lu Xiao. Reward: Ability Breakthrough Potion!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Lu Xiao's favorability rating has broken through to [Like]. You are rewarded with a sealing talisman! The reward has been automatically sent to your system inventory. Please check it yourself!]

A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Tang's eyes. She hadn't expected that Lu Xiao's breakthrough point was here.

When dealing with a man who's secretly passionate, you really have to take the initiative!
When Jialan saw her flushed face, her expression suddenly darkened. She couldn't help but understand what the two of them were doing inside!
"You went to all this trouble to get rid of me just so you could be all lovey-dovey with other males?" Jia Lan's voice was dangerous as he grabbed her chin and gave her a hard kiss!
……

After lingering for a while, the two arrived at the beach.

Gazing at the deep sea, Shen Tang swallowed hard, took two steps back, and looked at Jia Lan, "How am I supposed to get down?"

"Eat this." Jialan conjured a light blue bead in her palm and fed it to her.

The bead melted in her mouth, and Shen Tang immediately felt a power coursing through her limbs and bones, with a faint blue light seemingly swirling around her skin.

The light coalesced into a barrier, protecting her within it.

Jialan led Shen Tang into the sea.

The light emanating from its body instantly shields the seawater from view and can also automatically filter fresh air from the seawater.

Aside from being suspended in the water and unable to control her direction, Shen Tang was no different from someone on land.

Jialan transformed into a mermaid and hugged her tightly as they sped forward.

The deep sea is cold and dark, but near the cities and tribes, it emits faint, scattered light.

There are many bioluminescent plankton and various huge luminous pearls hanging all over the streets and corners of the walls, making the bustling area look like daytime, which is astonishing.

"Am I seeing things? How come I seem to see the little prince's figure?"

"It really is His Highness!"

"Princess Jialan is back!"

Why is there a female with him?

"Could she be his partner?"

"No way, it's rumored that His Highness and his partner have a terrible relationship and are constantly arguing about divorce."

When the palace guards saw Jialan approaching, they quickly relayed the good news to the Empress.

Jialan landed outside the palace gate with Shen Tang.

Due to marriage alliances and trade, some land-dwelling beastmen also lived within the Sea Kingdom. Later, for convenience, most cities in the Sea Kingdom were equipped with barriers to isolate them from the sea. Shen Tang stepped out of Jia Lan's arms, tried walking a few steps, and was able to control her movements.

Jialan tried to take her into the palace, but was stopped by the guards.

"Your Highness, foreigners are not allowed to enter or leave the palace at will. His Majesty said you can go in first."

Jia Lan frowned, about to angrily rebuke him, when Shen Tang stopped him.

She said considerately, "It's alright, you go in first, I'll wait for you here."

This was her first time in the Sea Kingdom, and she didn't want to cause a conflict over something like this, leaving a bad impression on the Mermaid Queen.

Jialan comforted her softly, "Wait a moment, I'll be right back."

"Ah."

Shen Tang waited outside the palace gate.

The guards' gazes frequently fell on her, their eyes filled with an undisguised scrutiny and a hint of desire.

This female is so beautiful.

Even compared to the most beautiful young female merfolk in their tribe, Princess Lisa was no less stunning.

Is she really His Highness Jialan's infamous partner?

But I've heard she's plain and ugly. Could the rumors be wrong? Shen Tang felt her scalp tingling from the stares of these beastmen. Seeing that the nearby coral forest was quite beautiful, she went over to take a look.

Halfway there, she suddenly heard a silvery laugh and the voices of a man and a woman talking, coming from not far ahead.

"Brother Jialin, do you think the woman Brother Jialan married is really ugly? She's not even as beautiful as a single hair of mine? You're not just trying to fool me, are you?" The girl's voice was hesitant, but secretly smug.

"That ugly female isn't even worthy of being compared to you!"

The other young man's voice was also pleasant, but it was laced with sarcasm and flattery towards females, revealing a hint of meanness and lewdness. "I was there at the wedding back then, and I saw with my own eyes what that princess of the Night Glow Empire looked like! By the standards of our mermaid race, she was an ugly monster! Nobody wanted her, she couldn't even get married."

The young man's voice was filled with admiration and flattery, "Lisa, you can rest assured, that ugly woman is no match for you. You are the most beautiful female in the world!"

"Oh dear, you shouldn't say that to people like that. It wouldn't be good if others heard it." The woman's voice was gentle and soft, with a hint of reproach.

The young man sneered, "Ha, I'm telling the truth! What do you think Mother sent that ugly woman here for? Isn't it to dissolve her marriage?"

"That ugly woman is completely unworthy of a marriage alliance with our Sea Kingdom. It would be a disgrace if word got out, and people would laugh their heads off. Jialan is also a useless piece of trash..."

"Shut up! I won't allow you to talk about Brother Jialan like that! He's the best male beast in the world!" the female said angrily.

As the sound grew closer, Shen Tang could clearly see the person's appearance.

The woman on the right had a slender and beautiful figure, with unique and dreamy pink curly hair, exquisite and beautiful face, snow-white skin, and a pair of rose-red eyes that added a touch of bewitching charm. She had a delicate nose and red lips, and wore a gorgeous mermaid gauze dress adorned with seashells and pearls. Even Shen Tang, who was used to seeing beautiful women, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Her beauty was no less than that of the female lead, Shen Qingli.

The young man beside the woman was slender and tall, with short blue-gray hair, handsome features, and dressed in luxurious clothes.

Upon closer inspection, he bears a slight resemblance to Jia Lan, but he is far less exquisite and breathtakingly beautiful than Jia Lan.

His name seems to be Jialin, presumably Jialan's brother, and also a prince in the palace.

Jialin and Lisa were stunned when they saw Shen Tang not far away. They stopped in their tracks, their faces showing amazement.

What a beautiful female!
Her appearance and temperament are very different from those of the merfolk, and she doesn't seem to be any other race in the sea. She doesn't have any sea creature markings on her body. Could she be a land beastman?

Who brought her here?
Whose partner is she?

Jialin's eyes flashed with deep amazement; she was completely stunned.

Sensing the displeased gaze of the female beside him, he quickly snapped out of his daze, his eyes filled with wariness, and he coldly questioned, "Who are you, and what are you doing near the palace?"

Shen Tang answered truthfully, "I am Princess Shen Tang of the Night Glow Empire, and also Jia Lan's partner. I have come to the Sea Kingdom's palace for an audience at the special invitation of the Empress."

"What? You're saying you're that ugly monster?" Jialin exclaimed in surprise, her face full of disbelief.

He clearly remembered that the clueless female was ugly, but the female in front of him was as beautiful as an angel, and he was almost stunned by her beauty.

Shen Tang said calmly, "Whether you believe it or not, I'm here. If all else fails, I have my identification."

After regaining her senses, Lisa glared fiercely at Shen Tang, her beautiful face twisted in a gloomy and twisted manner. "So, you're the bitch who stole Jialan from me!"

Shen Tang frowned and said coldly, "Steal him? If I remember correctly, he was my bride from the start, and I married him into the family through proper channels."

Lisa glared at her resentfully, biting her lower lip, then suddenly sneered, "You really think Brother Jialan wants to marry you? Ha, he's just using you."

"Now that you no longer possess S-level mental power, you are no longer of any value to him."

"You probably don't know this, but the Queen sent him back this time to tear apart the marriage alliance between the two countries!"

"Brother Jialan didn't tell you, did he? Actually, he has a fiancée in the Sea Kingdom, and that is me."

“We grew up together as childhood sweethearts and confessed our feelings for each other. This marriage was approved by Jialan.”

"He promised me personally that he would come and marry me."
