Chapter 1174: Chapter 848: Snake, Deep Love 100!

Bang bang bang——

Xue Yinzhou panted heavily, his heart still pounding fiercely, as if it would burst out of his chest, long unable to calm down.

Returning once more to that familiar stone house, most of the walls were mottled and peeling, the night outside the window silent, without stars or moon, dense like splashed ink.

He was lying on the bed, the female in his arms fast asleep, her sleeping face sweet and childlike.

Feeling the soft warmth of the jade in his embrace, so real, Xue Yinzhou slowly realized he had just had a nightmare, one that tormented him to the extreme.

"Tangtang..."

Xue Yinzhou held Shen Tang tightly in his arms, a surge of overwhelming joy at regaining her swept over him, followed by a lingering fear.

He had never had such a dream before.

Even in dreams, he never wanted to imagine her leaving.

The painful and disappointed questioning of the female in the dream, and the scene of her dying in his arms, were still vividly clear——this dream perhaps served as a warning, or maybe the heavens truly granted him a chance to start over.

Xue Yinzhou swore.

He would not let the tragedy in the dream come true.

"Yin Zhou..."

The female seemed to have been awakened by his movements, rubbing her sleepy eyes and waking up drowsily, her soft voice still carrying a faint hoarseness.

She looked up to meet the man’s gaze, full of deep and complex emotions, his eyes tinged with red, his complexion pale, not looking well.

She was startled, worriedly asking, "What happened to you? Did you have a nightmare?"

Xue Yinzhou said nothing, only held her tightly in his arms, but unlike before in a domineering entanglement, it was more cautious.

His cold and low voice seemed to carry a certain choke, "Tangtang, I’m sorry... I can’t lose you..."

His whole being seemed to be tinged with a fragile aura, eliciting tenderness.

Shen Tang also felt her heart become a bit sour, but she couldn’t show it, only gently held him back, kissed his lips briefly, and comforted, "Don’t be afraid, I’m always here, I won’t leave you, I will never leave you."

Xue Yinzhou lowered his head and deeply kissed her lips, and after a long while, his emotions gradually calmed down.

He kissed her forehead, resting his chin in her hair, murmuring, "I had a dream, dreamt that you left me... it was because I did something wrong that I caused your death..."

He didn’t tell her what those things were, only firmly promised, "I promise those things will never happen, they never will."

No matter how strong his possessiveness, Xue Yinzhou must admit, with Shen Li and the others, he could better protect Shen Tang.

He already knew the consequences of evil thoughts, and he would not allow the nightmare to come true.

He could give up everything, just hoping she could be safe, and stay with her for a lifetime.

[Ding! Congratulations Host, Xue Yinzhou’s affinity reached deep love 100!]

[Congratulations Host on receiving the character’s exclusive strategy title——]

[Shadow Follows a Lifetime]

[Lone Boat Anchors, Eternal Night Lights. ]

[This title has a 5% critical hit bonus, with a maximum burst of 2000% critical damage! When the Host encounters strong enemies, in dire straits, there is a probability of triggering a high critical hit, turning crisis into survival, and instant counter-kill!]

[Now issuing a large number of mission rewards to the host——]

[Congratulations Host on receiving ten thousand points, which can be used to exchange for all items in the store!]

[Congratulations Host on obtaining a non-combat special skill: Transformation Technique! The host can temporarily transform into the animal form of any contact, including appearance, size, aura, and basic behavior patterns. ]

Note: During transformation, no superpowers are inherited from the animal, only basic physiological traits (such as flying, swimming, night vision, etc.).]

[Congratulations Host on obtaining the rare item: Loyal Dog Collar! Once equipped, the target will have a strong protective desire and loyalty to the host, prioritizing the host’s safety as the absolute principle, never betraying or harming the host.]

Note: If the target’s strength exceeds the host’s, the item’s effect will be greatly reduced, with the risk of the collar falling off.]

[Congratulations Host on obtaining the rare item: Tracking Butterfly, once activated releases an energy butterfly, capable of accurately tracking the aura or energy target stored within the item.]

During tracking, a small amount of the host’s superpower/spiritual power is continually consumed, consumption speed is proportional to tracking distance, and tracking limit depends on the host’s current strength.

Note: If the butterfly is damaged during tracking, it will automatically dissipate and teleport back to the item’s body, requiring points to repair before reuse.]

[Congratulations Host on obtaining the special item: Replication Card, upon activation consumes points, capable of equally replicating a physical object, permanently storing it. Points consumed correlate with the object’s size, weight, and importance.]

Note: Cannot replicate living beings! Cannot replicate weapons or Magic Artifacts containing powerful superpowers!]

[Rewards have been fully issued! Once distributions of points/buffs/skills and other virtual items are made, they are immediately usable. Physical items have been stored in the system backpack, and the host can check and use them later.]

The system’s long series of announcements left Shen Tang stunned.

Xue Yinzhou’s feelings for her were so deep, she instinctively thought his strategy was already completed, and then recalled, his affinity had always been stuck at deep love 99, just like Jia Lan, and had not completed the strategy task.

But even so, she never doubted Xue Yinzhou’s genuine feelings for her, definitely not inferior to any Beast Husband.

Only, she didn’t expect at this moment, the strategy was fully successful.

[Xue Yinzhou’s feelings for the host had long reached the system’s limit, for him, the host’s life ranked first, far exceeding his own life.] the system explained, [But it was unfortunate that there was always one point that did not meet the system’s criteria——only when he was willing to completely let go of jealousy for love did it meet the system’s standard of true love.]

Love, in the system’s assessment rules, had a standard numerical value, but how could true love possibly be measured by cold numbers?

If one truly loves someone, how can there be no jealousy at all?

It is just love ranked ahead of jealousy, suppressing it.

Shen Tang could understand Xue Yinzhou’s decision, if there were really another life, she also wanted to give each Beast Husband wholehearted love.

After staying on the Lost Continent for a few days, they should return.

Don’t know how the situation on Eris Star is now, even though the core of the Divine Hall was destroyed, I’m afraid the Divine Hall won’t be so easily uprooted, and those Beast Clan nobles with intricate ties to the Divine Hall, the situation there probably won’t be optimistic.

Xue Yinzhou initially wanted to find a space rift to leave, but that would take a lot of time, and space rifts have great uncertainty.

Shen Tang told him she had obtained a Universal Pass Card, which can be used to teleport away at the cost of points.

Only, it’s truly heart-wrenching to spend those points!

Shen Tang tried to exploit a loophole, "System, if I store Xue Yinzhou inside the Space and then teleport, does it mean I only need to pay the fare for one person?"

The system explained, [No, the Universal Pass Card, although usable for others besides the host, has clear usage rules——Space is considered part of the host’s superpower domain, if living creatures are stored within Space and not released during traversal, the system defaults to only the host performing space traversal. If the host teleports from point A to point B and then releases the living creatures inside Space, the system will automatically deduct the corresponding points for the ticket. But if the host returns to point A after teleporting to point B, with the Space always remaining enclosed, for the living creatures inside Space, traversal has not occurred, and no points will be deducted.]

"Alright then." Unable to exploit the system, Shen Tang had to accept her fate.

The two left the Lost Continent and returned to Eris Star.

Only to find that here everything had undergone upheaval.
