Chapter 1101: Chapter 796: Rivalry and Jealousy (Part 2)

Lu Xiao’s hand paused slightly while picking up food, then continued as if nothing had happened.

Shen Tang almost choked again, stomped hard on Shen Li’s foot under the table, and glared at him with a pretend anger: "You sly fox, what are you saying!"

Shen Li remained unfazed, his eyes alluringly tilted, and winked at her with a look that said, "Did I say something wrong?"

"Hmph, Tangtang, don’t mind him. You eat first and taste this piece of meat. I personally caught it; it’s the tenderest piece from the prey." Xiao Jin said angrily.

The meal was finally finished amidst the "open and secret struggles" of the three.

Though it was just simple meat soup and a few pieces of coarse bread, Shen Tang ate her fill and felt warm all over.

While Lu Xiao was cleaning up the dishes, Shen Tang looked at his slightly tired face and then at Xiao Jin’s eyes, which also showed hints of fatigue, and felt a surge of heartache.

The two of them have been constantly on the road and fighting battles these days, probably without having slept through a single night.

"We’ll rest here tonight and set off again early tomorrow." Shen Tang decided.

Xiao Jin’s eyes lit up slightly, and Lu Xiao nodded, having no objections.

In the evening, a large patch of fiery clouds burned in the sky, dyeing the entire wasteland orange-red.

Shen Tang sat on a stone at the door, watching this rare scene, feeling a rare moment of peace in her heart.

Xiao Jin didn’t know when he came over and crouched beside her, with his golden eyes yearningly looking at her.

"Tangtang..."

His voice was low and slightly hoarse, with an indescribable desire.

Seeing his look, Shen Tang felt a little alarmed.

"My spiritual power seems unstable, like it’s showing signs of going out of control again..." Xiao Jin hugged her, his chin brushing against her face, with a tone that was both domineering and a little spoiled, "I’ve been so blinded by battle these days, my spirit is unsettled. Could you soothe me a bit tonight?"

His words sounded quite serious, but his eyes clearly held other thoughts; his hot and dry hand discreetly wrapped around her waist, trying to slip under her clothes.

Shen Tang’s cheeks flushed; this guy has a special constitution, prone to spiritual unrest, and indeed needs regular soothing by her... But every time he is "soothed," he shows no restraint!

She had just been pestered by Shen Li for a whole day and night, now her whole body is still aching; if she ends up in Xiao Jin’s hands...

Shen Tang’s kidney twinged faintly!

Shen Li, for all his excessiveness, at least understands to consider her feelings; this crazy panther would wish to tear her apart and devour her whole!

"Ahem, if it’s just spiritual soothing, it can be done!" Shen Tang nodded earnestly, "You transform back to your original form, and I’ll start smoothing your spiritual power now."

Seeing his aim unfulfilled, Xiao Jin wanted to continue his mischief, but Shen Tang pressed a finger against his forehead, teasingly reprimanding, "No bargaining, or there will be no benefit tonight."

"Alright, then soothe my spiritual power, please."

Xiao Jin’s panther ears drooped down, his tail near the ground, in an aggrieved manner, but he obediently transformed back into his Black Panther form, lying by her leg and placing his heavy head on her knee.

Shen Tang smiled gently, smoothing out his spiritual power.

Lu Xiao, from afar, saw this scene and the corners of his mouth curved slightly before resuming his calm expression.

"By the way, Ah Xiao, come over too. I’ll soothe both your spiritual powers together."

Shen Tang also smiled invitingly, patting the spot beside her.

Although Lu Xiao seemed fine, he always endured; Shen Tang figured his spiritual unrest level was likely high as well.

Lu Xiao nodded and walked over.

The three gathered together.

Shen Tang closed her eyes, releasing spiritual power, simultaneously soothing Xiao Jin and Lu Xiao’s minds completely.

Her gentle spiritual power, like warm spring water, flowed slowly over their spiritual landscapes, calming the agitation and fatigue.

Xiao Jin made a contented gurgling sound in his throat, the whole panther relaxed into a heap.

Lu Xiao also closed his eyes slightly, the wrinkles between his brows finally relaxed, and his nerves, tense for days, found relief at last.

As the soothing ended, Shen Tang herself was quite sleepy, yawned, and after saying goodnight to the two, she got up and returned to her room to rest.

Xiao Jin watched her figure eagerly, his tail sweeping the ground, but ultimately did not follow her.
