...
The silver spaceship broke through layers of clouds, emitting a roaring thunderous sonic boom.
The citizens in the city heard this domineering sound, and all looked up to the sky.
In the Empire, only a few nobles could afford private spaceships. Many curious beastmen gathered in the square, watching the spaceship slowly descend and exclaiming in surprise.
This spaceship was much more magnificent than an ordinary private spaceship, with its massive body and advanced performance, you could tell at a glance it was worth a fortune!
Many young beastmen liked to study spaceships, but very few had seen this model.
Some seasoned veteran beastmen recognized it as the legendary "Silver Cloud," with only three units issued worldwide, and a landing price close to twenty billion. Even the Empress did not have such luxuries when traveling!
The crowd was in an uproar, speculating wildly.
Who was sitting in the spaceship?
Accompanied by the booming landing sound, the spaceship’s door opened.
Shen Tang walked down the steps of the spaceship.
She was dressed in a luxurious gown, her appearance enchanting and beautiful, with long, silky black hair casually tied up, her figure graceful and charming, her presence outstanding, radiating brilliance.
Behind her followed five tall and handsome beast husbands.
"Be careful, Xiao Tang," Brother Li held Shen Tang’s hand, walking down the steps slowly.
The man had long, silky red hair, charming and gentle eyes, a smile playing on his thin lips, with a noble and composed demeanor, carrying a mysterious and elegant aura.
In the instant Brother Li appeared, almost all the female’s gaze fell on him, full of amazement and admiration, wishing it was them being led down the spaceship by him.
Xiao Jin was dressed in a black tight-fitting uniform, outlining his athletic and smooth muscle lines, with an extremely superior physique, overflowing with male hormones, similarly stirring many females’ emotions.
He followed behind Shen Tang, carefully lifting her trailing gown, afraid of even a speck of dust.
Lu Xiao and Jia Lan followed on the left and right like loyal knights.
Their appearances and physique were equally outstanding, each with its own features, handsome and noble, making it hard to ignore, causing many females present to let out secret exclamations.
Xue Yinzhou followed last.
His aura was like a silent and waveless cold pool, quiet yet hard to ignore.
He was like a blade ready to unsheathe at any time, guarding the back of the Princess, repelling hidden dangers in the shadows, intimidating others from approaching.
Shen Tang took a deep breath, looking up at the Imperial City before her.
This time, she truly returned with the identity of a Princess.
All the beastmen present had their gaze on her, their expressions entirely changed.
Previously there was disdain, scorn, and ridicule, wishing to add insult to injury, eagerly waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
Now it was fear, respect, complexity... Some even dared not look up at Shen Tang, seemingly afraid of being scorched by her noble and dazzling light.
The group walked down the spaceship.
The crowd watching parted like the waves of Moses, creating a wide path for the visiting Princess.
Various media who had received news earlier had already come to wait, carrying cameras big and small, recording the shocking scene of Shen Tang’s return to the Imperial City.
These five beast husbands surrounded her, making it impossible for anyone else to get close.
Shen Xu’s face grew unpleasant, feeling increasingly uncomfortable inside. Clearly, he was the one who cared for her as her brother from a young age, but now these outsiders made him seem like an outsider.
"Tangtang, you finally came over, your father and I have been waiting for you for quite a while."
The last time the Empress saw Shen Tang, she was indifferent, as if she was an eyesore. This time, she kindly took her hand, her smile gentle, "So long without seeing you, I’ve missed you terribly; you should visit me more in the Imperial Palace."
Shen Tang’s public opinion storm was too great now.
No matter how much the Emperor and Empress disliked Shen Tang, with so many media filming, they had to present a facade, not compromising the royal dignity.
Shen Tang looked at their act, finding it exhausting herself.
Shen Tang discreetly withdrew her hand, her smile warm yet distant, "Thank you, Father and Mother, for thinking of me. I thought you had forgotten me, being so busy for over a year, even missing my coronation ceremony. It seems recent official affairs have indeed been intense; let’s quickly conclude today’s matters so as not to waste your time further."
Her sarcastic remarks nearly made the Emperor and Empress drop their smiles.
"Tangtang, it was wrong of us; we called you over this time also because we genuinely want to compensate you!" The Empress had cared for the original host for many years, having some feelings for her.
Previously, the Empress resented the original host for embarrassing her. Now seeing Shen Tang beautiful and intelligent with growing influence, she truly intended to close the gap between them.
The Emperor only acknowledged his biological offspring, having little fondness for this adopted daughter. After learning she was not his biological daughter, he viewed Shen Tang as no different than a stranger.
Thinking of the possibility of this adopted daughter threatening his biological daughter’s position, he had no good face for Shen Tang, inwardly criticizing: this adopted daughter truly doesn’t know her place!
He snorted coldly, patiently saying, "After all, you’ve now restored your Princess status; your mother and I have discussed rebuilding a Princess Mansion for you."
What should originally have been hers, when he said it, sounded like a favor.
