After Xiao Jin was taken to the police station, they reviewed the surveillance footage and took his statement.
It was indeed Liu Chen and his group who provoked first. Although Xiao Jin’s retaliations were a bit heavy-handed, it could theoretically be considered self-defense.
Moreover, he struck with precision; despite the severe beating, there were no fatal injuries, and it couldn’t be classified as major harm.
The police looked into his records and learned that he was a Major General who fought life and death for the Empire, and now, as Princess Shen Tang’s Beast Husband, after some negotiations, they had to release him.
...
Shen Tang read through the entire sequence of events and fell silent, her expression rare for its cold and sternness!
Fine, she remembered this, the Liu Family in the Imperial City!
It was one thing to insult her, but they dared to bully her Beast Husband.
She won’t forget this grudge!
Completely ignoring how badly Xiao Jin beat up that young master.
Once she recovered from her deep thoughts, Shen Tang turned to look at Xiao Jin, who was eating as if nothing happened.
The dog-man seemed to sense her scrutinizing gaze, as the round Black Panther ears on his head drooped a little more, clearly feeling guilty!
Shen Tang’s mouth twitched, caught between laughter and tears.
In the end, she didn’t bring it up.
After finishing the meal, Shen Tang went to rest on the wicker chair in the hotel courtyard.
After the Beastmen were off to their own activities, she called Xue Yinzhou over, "Watch the Liu Family for me, especially that young master. I don’t even know if he’s been discharged from the hospital yet."
"The Liu Family?" Xue Yinzhou looked puzzled; in his memory, they hadn’t had a past conflict with the Liu Family.
Shen Tang explained, "I’ve heard some rumors that Xiao Jin was injured the other night in a conflict with a Liu Family young master... Anyway, keep a close watch, and inform me immediately of any movements!"
"Alright." Xue Yinzhou nodded and was about to turn away.
"Wait!" Shen Tang suddenly remembered something and hurriedly called him back, "Come here first."
Xue Yinzhou turned back to her, his cool phoenix eyes carrying a hint of confusion, but he obediently stepped forward.
Then, his body froze!
The daring female pulled open his collar, revealing a broad expanse of cold, white, firm chest, which glistened under the sunlight like flawless jade.
This piece of supposedly flawless jade, however, had an obvious blemish.
On his left chest, right over the heart, was a shallow scar.
This shallow scar was not noticeable from afar, but up close, it was evident at a glance.
It was the spot where his Heart Scale was removed.
Shen Tang’s slender white fingers lightly brushed over the scar, speaking with complexity, "This leaves a scar? Why didn’t you tell me?"
"There used to be more scars here." Xue Yinzhou caught her hand and placed it on his chest, "But this time, it was something I did willingly; you don’t need to feel guilty."
He looked down to see Shen Tang showing a pained expression.
Ha... she’s feeling sorry for him.
Once again, he saw her feeling sorry for him.
This scene stirred Xue Yinzhou’s emotions, making him feel inexplicably thirsty, every nerve and cell in his body radiating indescribable joy and heat... but he hid his feelings well, maintaining a cool demeanor, not letting the female sense his emotional shift.
Xue Yinzhou’s fingers twitched slightly, but he couldn’t help cradling Shen Tang in his arms.
He lowered his head and kissed her neck.
The cold, slippery snake tongue gently licked.
Shen Tang’s heartbeat quickened, and a light blush appeared on her cheeks.
Xue Yinzhou asked restrainedly, "Is it alright, Tangtang?"
Ever since he angered her the last time, he hadn’t asked for this again.
After all, Xue Yinzhou was a Snake Beast, whose instincts were hard to control.
