Chapter 1171: Chapter 847: The Pursuit of a Wife, Cremation Grounds

The wedding was grand and flawless, with banquets lasting seven days and nights.

Whether they were dignitaries or ordinary beastman folk invited to attend, all were filled with admiration and praise. This was truly a joyous occasion the Ghost Snake Clan hadn’t seen in years.

Yet, the bride congratulated by everyone was not as happy as others assumed.

She was originally very happy, believing she could see Shen Li and the others at the banquet, but unfortunately, she didn’t see them even when the banquet ended, nor did she hear any news of them.

Shen Tang couldn’t help but feel lonely. Although she understood that the beast husbands were busy, busy eradicating the remnants of the Divine Hall, even if they couldn’t find time to return, it was understandable, but... were they really that busy? So much time had passed, and they didn’t even have a moment to see her?

During this period, Shen Tang also tried to contact Shen Li and the others but received no reply.

Could something unexpected have happened?

Shen Tang began to feel suspicious. She found a moment to inquire of Xue Yinzhou, wanting to ask about Xiao Jin and the others’ situation, and she must see them.

But Xue Yinzhou’s face showed reluctance, hesitating to speak, as if hiding some secret from her.

Finally, under Shen Tang’s pressing, he revealed the truth.

"Tangtang, there is something I don’t know whether to tell you. Originally, I didn’t want to affect your mood, intending to tell you later..."

Shen Tang’s heart sank, just as she heard Xue Yinzhou’s sorrowful words, "I received news not long ago that Shen Li and the others fell into the Divine Hall’s trap and disappeared, their life or death unknown to this day..." 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

Thunderstruck!

Shen Tang’s body staggered abruptly, almost falling to the ground.

Xue Yinzhou quickly supported her, holding her in his arms, barely steadying her stance.

"How could this happen..."

Shen Tang’s expression was dazed, heartbroken, and incredulous.

Xue Yinzhou embraced her lovingly, gently comforting her: he has already dispatched several family troops to search for Shen Li and the others’ traces. When he has time, he will personally go and look; he will certainly help find them; any news will be promptly relayed to her to ease her worries.

Only then did Shen Tang’s emotions stabilize.

She was also very touched. Maybe because she suffered too great a shock at once, she ended up relying more on Xue Yinzhou.

Sadly, later on, even after Xue Yinzhou wiped out the remnants of the Divine Hall with the troops, he still couldn’t find Xiao Jin and the others.

He even captured someone who appeared to be a leader in a hidden base for interrogation.

Shen Tang was there to hear the man boastfully claim: they had long since killed Xiao Jin and the others; they were dead, remains gone, so long past, the grass above their graves must be three feet tall!

Having received no news of Xiao Jin and the others for so long, Shen Tang had actually long guessed the result, she just wasn’t willing to believe it.

Now, hearing someone from the Divine Hall admit it, her last bit of hope was utterly shattered, her heart died in despair, and she remained in despondency for a long time.

Xue Yinzhou, as the Ghost Snake Clan Leader, was usually busy with affairs, but he dropped everything to accompany Shen Tang, helping her slowly emerge from her gloom.

Their relationship deepened significantly.

Not long after, Shen Tang announced she was pregnant.

Xue Yinzhou was overjoyed.

As the esteemed Clan Leader of the Ghost Snake Clan, he personally took care of his mate, being extra cautious and becoming more gentle and patient.

In others’ eyes, their relationship was so harmonious and loving, it was simply a legend, and countless pairs envied them.

Xue Yinzhou also eagerly anticipated this child; he never imagined he would feel such joy and happiness from the arrival of an unfamiliar life one day.

Though she was less than a month pregnant, he already found the place for the child’s birth and hatching. Snake Clan usually have males hatch eggs, the more powerful the Snake Clan member, the longer the incubation, expending more energy.

Xue Yinzhou even personally prepared small clothes for the child to wear after transforming.

Of course, this was all part of the beautiful long-term vision he had prepared extensively for.

Xue Yinzhou eagerly awaited the birth of their child, frequently brewing nourishing soup for her.

One evening, when he returned, Shen Tang’s expression was very wrong.

She leaned on the headboard, her face pale, as if losing too much blood, appearing extremely weak and sickly.

Her gaze towards him lost its former tenderness, turning cold and wary, filled with deep disappointment and sadness.

The air seemed to faintly carry a subtle metallic scent.
