A fallen phoenix is worse off than a chicken; these people openly discuss and disparage Shen Tang without holding back, and the voices reach her ears.
Even though Shen Tang is not the original owner, and she didn’t commit those deeds, she blushes with shame from these insulting voices, wishing she could just vanish into thin air!
Alas, the dirty deeds of the original owner have tainted her deeply, and recovering her reputation won’t be easy.
Shen Tang ignores these voices as best as she can and walks to the stall selling vegetables and meat.
The beast meat is somewhat stale, and it’s not from good cuts, far worse than the meat she ate last night.
"The Princess has been picking for a while but isn’t buying anything; could it be she can’t afford it?"
A sharp, mocking laugh suddenly comes from behind.
Shen Tang turns to see a young female approaching her.
She is tall and graceful, strikingly beautiful with flamboyant orange curly hair, and her clothes are markedly different from the shabby clothes of ordinary beastmen, hinting at her high status in the city.
Behind her follow five tall and robust male beasts, like knights guarding a princess; wherever they go, the crowd steps aside.
Most people look on in fear, while many young males gaze at the female with fiery desire, wishing they were the ones standing behind her.
Shen Tang’s expression darkens; she recognizes this female, An Ya.
Young and beautiful, she is very popular in the city and admired by many young male beasts, yet she covets the original owner’s five beast husbands the most, seizing every chance to kick her when she’s down, having a terrible relationship with her.
Though An Ya calls her "princess," her words are full of ridicule, causing the surrounding onlookers to burst into laughter.
Which princess has fallen so far, penniless, unable to afford even a piece of meat.
"What? Xiao Jin and the others no longer care for you? You can’t even afford a piece of meat and have to buy it yourself, embarrassing all us females!" An Ya, strutting like a proud rooster, steps up to Shen Tang, her words full of disdainful mockery.
Shen Tang doesn’t wish to quarrel with her and pretends not to hear.
Seeing her refusal to respond, An Ya becomes even more infuriated. Does this ugly, fat woman still think she’s a pampered princess from the Imperial Palace and dare to ignore her!
Looking at the meat in Shen Tang’s hand, An Ya’s lips curl into a malicious sneer, belittling and insulting,
"If you kneel and beg me, this lady might take pity and reward you with a piece of meat!"
Shen Tang realizes this woman is deliberately trying to upset her, publicly humiliating her in the street in front of so many people!
Shen Tang looks at An Ya coldly, "Are you very idle?"
An Ya is stunned into silence, then she becomes angry out of embarrassment, "What tone is that!"
Shen Tang loses all interest, turning to leave; she won’t even buy this meat, will she?
A few tall, strong male beasts block her way again, all unfriendly.
"What do you mean by this? Fighting is forbidden in the city, and harming a female is a serious crime!" Shen Tang turns to look at An Ya, who is smiling, her expression very unpleasant.
An Ya’s smile widens even more, and she flicks her long nails, her words more a threat than a request, "I want you to divorce Brother Lu Xiao and the others!"
Shen Tang’s expression becomes as dark as the bottom of a pot.
An Ya feels a greater joy in her heart, but she still looks at Shen Tang with a little jealousy and resentment.
