Not long after Shen Tang returned from the Dead Fern Swamp, she received news that Xiao Jin was coming back.
She didn’t even have time to hold a morning meeting and immediately led a group of people out of the city to welcome him.
From a distance, she could see the victorious troops approaching slowly.
The man at the front of the line was tall and straight, his black tight-fitting combat suit perfectly outlining his excellent physique.
His face was handsome and deep, with golden pupils shining in the sunlight, and his smile was carefree and unrestrained, capable of attracting everyone’s attention with just one glance.
A lot of women gathered at the city gate, and when they saw him, many couldn’t help but let out suppressed cheers.
So handsome!
Unfortunately, he was the Emperor’s Beast Husband, so all they could do was admire his looks and nothing more.
"Tangtang!"
When Xiao Jin saw Shen Tang standing at the city gate, the casual look in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by undisguised deep joy.
He immediately abandoned the troop and rushed forward, pulling her tightly into his arms, taking a deep breath of her scent by her neck, and happily said, "I missed you!"
Shen Tang hugged him back tightly, gently patting his back, softly saying, "I missed you too."
Xiao Jin’s tail lightly wagged and unconsciously wrapped around her leg, seeking more intimate contact.
But with so many people watching, he had to suppress certain thoughts, merely giving Shen Tang a firm kiss on the cheek, saying, "The matters over there are all settled. I left Luo Fei to oversee them because I couldn’t wait any longer and came back to see you first."
"You’ve worked hard all this time." Shen Tang stood on tiptoe to kiss his chin, took his hand, and led him towards the palace, "I’ve already asked someone to prepare a welcome feast. Let’s have some food and rest well."
The beastmen watched as their Monarch and partner showed such affection, and they couldn’t help but feel a spontaneous sense of envy, especially the young males, who had been hoping the Monarch would take a large harem, only to have waited so long without it happening, leaving them a bit envious and disappointed.
Hu Yun pursed his lips, just about to step forward when suddenly, a large bouquet of flowers appeared before him, blocking his way.
Behind the fragrant flowers, a pretty young girl emerged.
She wore a beautiful floral dress, a crown of flowers on her head, a cute round face, big bright eyes, and rounded tiger ears in her brownish-yellow hair, smiling with adorable tiger teeth.
She cheerfully looked at the tall young man in uniform before her and excitedly said, "Handsome little brother, want to buy flowers? This is a new breed cultivated in our family garden, and if you give it to a girl you like, she’ll definitely love it."
She glanced in the direction of the Monarch, lowering her voice mysteriously, "Our ’Romantic Love’ sells well, and I heard those who bought it to give to women all successfully confessed."
Hu Yun couldn’t help but laugh; the girl’s eyes were indeed clever,
"Okay, I’ll buy it."
"Hehe, little brother has great taste! Wish you happiness and all your wishes come true!"
"Thank you for your blessings."
Hu Yun didn’t buy the one she recommended but instead chose a bouquet of daisies, gently placing it in her hair, "This suits you better."
The girl touched the newly added flower in her hair in a daze, and by the time she came to her senses, the young man had already led the troop away.
She blinked, withdrew her gaze, and continued bouncing around to sell flowers to other guests.
...
Elsewhere, after finishing the meal, Shen Tang went to a meeting.
The system suddenly spoke up, [Host, I don’t know why, but I always feel there’s something off about Xiao Jin’s aura, giving me a strange feeling.]
Shen Tang said in surprise, "What’s off? Isn’t he the same as before?"
[I can’t say for certain, but I just feel it’s not right. Host, interact with him more, and I’ll run more checks; maybe something new will be found.]
Having gone through so many things, Shen Tang became much more cautious, especially since Xiao Jin was one of the most ill-fated Beast Husbands. Hearing what the system said, she kept it in mind and nodded, saying, "I’ll go to him after the meeting."
[Host, find a way to get him emotionally excited. When beastmen are emotionally agitated, the energy within them is more likely to leak out, making my checks more accurate.]
"Alright."
