Chapter 1084: Chapter 787: Chaotic Scene (1)

Shen Tang hadn’t slept this soundly for a long time, as if all the fatigue in her body had been completely swept away.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, opened them and looked out the window, the light shining through the white gauze had already illuminated the bedroom, it should be around eight or nine in the morning, she hadn’t expected to sleep for so long.

"Miss Shen, breakfast is ready, come downstairs to eat."

A knock on the door and a man’s gentle and pleasant voice came from outside.

Shu, since his disguise was exposed, no longer wore a mask, nor did he disguise his voice; it was a warm and elegant voice with the deep magnetism of a mature male, very pleasant to listen to.

Shen Tang didn’t refuse this time, "Mm, I’ll be down in a bit."

Shen Tang’s clothes were damaged in several places during the battle, and her body was covered with dried filthy blood, it smelled quite unpleasant.

After quickly taking a battle shower, she wanted to change clothes but found nothing left in the space.

She slapped her forehead, remembering that she’d given everything in the space to Shen Li, opened the wardrobe in the room, and found a few sets of clothes suitable for females that matched her body shape quite well.

Shen Tang casually took a loose light beige home sleep dress, put it on, and found it indeed fitted her well, the fabric was very comfortable too.

She dressed and went to the dining room on the first floor.

Shu sat at the dining table, his figure tall and handsome, particularly eye-catching.

He had changed out of the previously heavy dark robe into a homey off-white long robe, the belt loosely tied around his waist, his chest slightly exposed revealing a hint of cool white skin, even the refined and beautiful collarbone could be seen.

His hair wasn’t pure black either, with a hint of flaxen brown, paired with exceptionally gentle, alluring lake-green eyes, the sunlight shining on him made him seem so fresh and beautiful, yet exuding a charming tenderness.

Shen Tang’s steps paused, her expression peculiar.

She couldn’t help but feel... a bit odd.

If she remembered correctly, they only met yesterday, right? Why does this feel a bit like living together for years...

Shu turned his head, offering a perfectly suitable smile, "Miss Shen, awake?"

Shen Tang replied with a hum, sat opposite him, and began eating quietly.

She spread jam on a piece of toast and bit into it, the taste was very rich and delicious.

The croissant he baked was crispy on the outside, fluffy and soft inside, she hadn’t expected him not to be a braggart, his cooking skills were indeed good.

In front of Shu was a cup of specially brewed black coffee, he poured her a cup of yogurt sprinkled with colorful cereal, resembling food for coaxing young cubs.

"...I want to know, why is the Divine Hall so persistent in capturing me? Is it just because I escaped their control?" Shen Tang slowly stirred the yogurt in her cup, watching the cereal rise and fall.

She initially thought Shu would refuse to answer, but he unexpectedly revealed a bit, "You hold an extraordinary significance for the Divine Hall, unlike those mass-produced experimental subjects, you are a specially created experimental subject... now you are ’mature’ to them, naturally you are ready for ’harvest’."

Shen Tang’s hand paused, the description really made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

She somewhat hid it by raising her cup and sipping the yogurt, hearing the man continue, "You and the No. 01 experimental subject, whom you know as Shen Qingli, both of you were cultivated from the same gene pool. But what the Divine Hall needs is a unique, perfect mature host, so they have to conduct an experiment to see who is the most suitable final product."

Shu looked at her, "So, the Divine Hall arranged different identities and scripts for you two to be sent into the Otherworld, forcing you to become competitors. The ultimate goal is to select that one and only winner."

Shen Tang’s fingers tightened slightly, a chill spreading inside her heart, "And what does the winner get? What kind of benefit?"

Shu smiled, "As you might think, they won’t end well."

Shen Tang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, Shen Qingli had fought desperately to defeat her, saying only by killing her could she survive... now it seems that at the time, Shen Qingli definitely knew more than she did, but the insider information she knew was probably fabricated by her system.

In reality, whether they win or not, they won’t end well.

This is their significance as experimental subjects, forever unable to escape the control of the Hand of Creation.

The female’s reddened lips had a bit of snow white milk stains left on them, Shu’s Adam’s apple rolled slightly, moving closer.

Shen Tang felt a coolness on her cheek, an exceptionally unique and alluring musky scent in her nostrils, her expression dazed, her heart jolted back to reality, about to say something when she saw the man quickly return to his original position as if nothing happened.

"..." She widened her beautiful eyes, was this a sneaky advantage-taking?!

Shen Tang even suspected this guy genuinely had an interest in her!

[Hehe, the Host shouldn’t underestimate your charm! With your exquisite demeanor and superb aura, any mentally and physically normal male would naturally develop a fondness... maybe this guy truly harbors affection for the Host, intending to play the hero saving the beauty to win over the Host’s heart!]

The damn system seemed eager to resume its old matchmaker’s trade.

It couldn’t detect the other party’s information, but it further proved Shu was definitely exceptionally strong!

Shen Tang, "...I’m not that narcissistic. If it’s really like that, I’d rather try to seduce Mansa."

[That’s not certain, that guy is indiscriminative between genders, the Host will probably suffer a loss.]

"Huh?"

[Hehe, truly indiscriminative in gender consumption, don’t get the wrong idea, all those beautiful Beastmen he encountered, regardless of gender, were all eaten and made into skeleton specimens, hung on the wall to decorate the palace.]

"..."

After breakfast, Shen Tang wanted to help tidy up the dining table.

She wasn’t particularly diligent, and her Beast Husband had pampered her outrageously over the past few years, after ascending the throne, she hadn’t lifted a finger in household chores. But this was someone else’s house, she couldn’t just eat for free here and felt she should at least help clean up a bit, at least not be too much trouble.

"You go rest, I’ll handle this," Shu said, taking the tableware from her hand.

Their palms lightly touched, and Shen Tang felt like she had touched a cool jade stone, able to feel the man’s long fingers, well-defined joints, very refined and beautiful.

The area touched seemed more like it had sparked small currents, making her retreat a half step, a slight unnatural redness appearing on her face.

Yet compared to Shu, he seemed unaware of anything, carrying the plates into the kitchen.

Shen Tang lightly patted her face, a bit speechless: don’t overthink it!

She was no longer some pure and untainted maiden, no need to act so shy! They were just in a cooperative relationship... supposed to be regarded as a cooperative relationship, don’t think about this or that.

Shen Tang glanced around, reluctantly finding a bit of work, pretended to clean up a bit.

When Shu emerged from the kitchen, he saw the female lying on the sofa, turning on the TV.

His lips curved into a faint smile, walking to the back of the sofa, supporting it with one hand, and bending down, "Hmm? What are you watching?"

The tall figure cast down, enveloping most of her body, along with the clear musky scent accompanying the warm breaths brushing against her neck and ear.

Shen Tang trembled slightly, shrinking her neck and looking up to meet the man’s gentle and elegant smile, alongside that enlarged, close-up, handsome face!

Shen Tang blushed and coughed lightly, "Nothing much, just bored, watching some television."

Shu looked up at the TV.

This was also a war-torn area, communication and network facilities were almost wiped out, unable to receive many shows, only channels with signals covering the globe could be watched.

The reporter on the channel was discussing how the Moon Wolf Clan’s Young Master was set to marry a noble female, but the proud Young Master seemingly had a heart elsewhere, refusing this marriage.

Shu casually picked up the remote from the sofa, switched the channel, which happened to be reporting on the Divine Hall partnering with various races for nationwide large-scale captures.

"Let’s watch this, hopefully, your Beast Husband’s capture won’t show up in the news."

Shen Tang speechless, "Can’t you just wish for something good?"

Shu said innocently, "I’m sincerely praying, hoping they can come to see you alive."

"..."
