Shen Tang assured earnestly, "I was wrong before and caused a lot of trouble for everyone, I will be more careful in the future."
Song Fang frowned, his dislike for Shen Tang slightly diminished. He snorted coldly, turned around, and muttered as he walked back, "I hope you mean it, and don't stir up any more nonsense."
Watching Song Fang and her Beast Husband leave, Shen Tang breathed a sigh of relief. She knew her reputation in this world was poor, and changing others' opinions wasn't easy, but at least today was a small start.
"Grumble～"
Shen Tang's stomach growled with hunger. She hadn't eaten since morning and hurried to the kitchen to make a meal, planning to study the world's Light Computer after eating.
The meat Lu Xiao delivered was about twenty to thirty pounds, enough to last her a week. Shen Tang, intending to lose weight, only cut a small piece for today's lunch, storing the rest in the refrigerator.
She decided to make a pot of meat soup!
Unfortunately, she could only find basic oil and salt at the market, with no other seasonings available, but it was better than eating raw.
Shen Tang placed the prepared Beastman meat into the boiling soup, the steam rising as it released a thick, white foam.
She wiped her hands and was about to sit down to rest when there was a sudden urgent knock at the door.
She frowned, wondering who would visit her in broad daylight. The five Beast Husbands avoided her, could it be the neighbor Song Fang?
Shen Tang went over to open the door.
The door had just opened a crack when a strong force burst in, nearly knocking her to the ground.
"Smack!"
Before Shen Tang could react, she was slapped hard across the face.
A fiery pain spread instantly from her cheek, and her face quickly swelled, a buzz ringing in her ears.
Standing outside was a young, delicate-looking female, Shi Yin, the daughter of the Shelter City Lord. She wore luxurious attire, her brows full of hostility, and her eyes showed undisguised disdain and scorn.
Shi Yin had always been arrogant and domineering, very much infatuated with Xiao Jin, which made her loathe Shen Tang to the core, opposing her at every turn.
Behind Shi Yin were dozens of uniformed guards holding stun batons and handcuffs, menacingly poised as if ready to strike at any moment.
Shen Tang clutched her face, panicking as she tried to suppress her fear, "What do you want?"
"You dare ask?!" Shi Yin sneered, her eyes full of rage, raising her hand to hit Shen Tang again.
Shen Tang instinctively tried to dodge, but two tall and strong Beastmen firmly held her in place, immobilizing her.
"Smack!"
Another loud slap landed on her face, the searing pain causing her vision to blur.
"Bitch! Shameless thing! How dare you drug Xiao Jin, why don't you just die!" Shi Yin's voice was sharp and grating, filled with anger and jealousy.
Shen Tang's face was already unrecognizable from swelling, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. She wanted to argue, but found she couldn't speak, unable to retort.
Someone had leaked the news; the original master's drugging of Xiao Jin was widely known, becoming a citywide joke.
Shi Yin was furious upon hearing and had come straight over to make a scene.
Looking at Shen Tang's swollen red face, still unsatisfied, she raised her hand to strike again!
At this moment, a tall, handsome, white-gray-haired Beastman stepped forward, gently holding Shi Yin's hand with concern in his voice, "Yinyin, stop hitting, is your hand hurting?"
As he spoke, he blew on Shi Yin's hand as if she were the one who had been wronged.
"Leave this lowlife to us, don't dirty your hands." Another brown-haired male Beastman also flattered.
Their eyes, when they glanced at Shen Tang, were full of contempt. How could there be such an ugly and fat female in the world, just a look was stomach-turning.
The commotion had already attracted many onlookers who whispered to each other, full of schadenfreude.
"Look, isn't that Shen Tang? Isn't she usually quite arrogant? How come she's so pathetic today?" A middle-aged female laughed, her eyes full of mockery.
"Serves her right! Who told her to be so clueless and provoke Miss Shi Yin? Does she not know her current status?" Another Beastman sneered in agreement.
"Tsk, tsk, her face is swollen like a pig's head, truly embarrassing!"
Sounds of derisive laughter echoed from the crowd.
Shen Tang was furious to the extreme, wanting to retaliate against the woman in front of her. But the two tall and robust Beastmen held her tightly, making it impossible to move.
Shi Yin gloated, "Take her away and lock her up! Make sure she's well entertained!"
As her words fell, the surrounding guards approached, ready to drag Shen Tang away by force.
Shen Tang struggled desperately, "Let me go!"
The neighbor Song Fang heard the commotion and came out, frightened at the scene. She shouted loudly, "The city prohibits harming females! And it's illegal to imprison them over personal grudges!"
"Hmph, the City Lord is my father, who would dare to stop me!"
These lowly commoners dared to judge her!
Shi Yin's lips curled into a cruel smile; for daring to go after the man she set her sights on, she would ensure Shen Tang lived in misery!
Fear filled Shen Tang's heart, her body trembling uncontrollably. She knew that once jailed, endless torment and humiliation awaited her.
Suddenly, a black fog swept in from afar, twining around and forcefully knocking away the two Beastmen restraining Shen Tang, like a venomous snake.
Bang!
The two Beastmen fell heavily to the ground, with an unnatural bluish hue on their faces, lips purplish white, blood oozing from seven orifices.
Someone approached fearfully to check, finding the two Beastmen lifeless, retreating in terror, "They're dead!"
"Who?! Who's meddling?!"
Shi Yin's face turned pale instantly, her voice trembling slightly.
She scanned around, trying to find the source of the black fog, but saw nothing.
Panic erupted among the crowd, onlookers who were previously watching the spectacle scattered in fear, afraid of being caught by that eerie black fog.
Shen Tang was startled by the sudden turn of events. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a white figure flash by, simultaneously hearing the broadcast from the system in her mind.
