Shen Tang sincerely promised, "I was wrong in the past and caused a lot of trouble for everyone; I will be more careful in the future."
Song Fang frowned slightly, feeling her aversion to Shen Tang diminish a bit. She snorted coldly, turned around to walk back, and muttered, "I hope you keep your word and don't cause any more nonsense."
Watching Song Fang and the Beast Husband leave, Shen Tang let out a sigh of relief. She knew her reputation in this world was very poor, and it wasn't easy to change people's perceptions, but at least today marked a small beginning.
"Gurgle～"
A hunger pang came from Shen Tang's stomach; she hadn't eaten since the morning. She hurried to the kitchen to cook and planned to study the Light Computer of this world thoroughly after eating.
The meat Lu Xiao brought was twenty to thirty pounds, enough for her to eat for a week. Shen Tang intended to lose weight, so she only cut a small piece as today's lunch, putting the rest into the refrigerator's cooler.
Cooking pot meat soup!
Unfortunately, at the market, she only bought the basic oil and salt, unable to find other seasonings, but it was better than eating raw meat.
Shen Tang just put the processed beast meat into the boiling soup, and the pot's hot steam rose, wafting a thick white meat froth.
She wiped her hands and was about to sit down to rest when there was a sudden urgent knocking at the door.
She frowned. Who would come looking for her in broad daylight? The five Beast Husbands avoided her like the plague. Could it be the neighbor, Song Fang?
Shen Tang went to open the door.
The door had just opened a crack when a force burst through, almost knocking her to the ground.
"Smack!"
Shen Tang had no time to react before she was slapped hard across the face.
A fiery pain immediately spread from her cheek, making her face quickly swell and her ears buzz.
Standing outside was a pretty-faced female, the City Lord's daughter, Shi Yin. She wore luxurious attire, yet her brows were filled with hostility, her eyes openly expressing disdain and contempt.
Shi Yin was notoriously arrogant and extremely admired Xiao Jin, hence she hated Shen Tang to the core, constantly opposing her.
Behind Shi Yin were dozens of uniformed guards, holding electric sticks and handcuffs, aggressively poised as if ready to act at any moment.
Shen Tang held her face, panic in her heart, suppressing her fear, "What...do you want?"
"You still have the face to ask?!" Shi Yin let out a cold laugh, her eyes flaring with anger, raising her hand to slap Shen Tang again.
Shen Tang instinctively wanted to dodge but was firmly held by two tall, strong Beastmen, unable to move.
"Smack!"
Another loud slap struck her face, and the stinging pain made Shen Tang's vision blur.
"Slut! Shameless thing! Daring to drug Brother Xiao Jin, why don't you just die!" Shi Yin's voice was sharp and piercing, full of anger and jealousy.
Shen Tang's face was already so swollen it was unrecognizable, with a trace of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth. She wanted to retort but found she couldn't open her mouth, unable to defend herself.
Someone must have leaked the story of the original owner drugging Xiao Jin; it became a public joke.
When Shi Yin heard the news, she was furious, directly bringing people to make a scene.
She looked at Shen Tang's swollen, red face, still unsatisfied, raising her hand to hit again!
At this moment, a tall, handsome, white-gray-haired Beastman stepped forward, gently holding Shi Yin's hand, his tone full of concern, "Yinyin, stop hitting, does your hand hurt?"
As he spoke, he kindly blew on Shi Yin's hand, as if she were the one who had been wronged.
"Leave dealing with this slut to us; don't dirty your hands." Another brown-haired male Beastman also fawned.
When their eyes swept over Shen Tang, they were filled with disdain. How could there be such an ugly and fat female in the world, one look making them sick?
The commotion had already attracted many onlookers, whispering, their expressions full of schadenfreude.
"Look, isn't that Shen Tang? Wasn't she quite arrogant normally? Why is she so miserable today?" a middle-aged female laughed, covering her mouth with ridicule in her eyes.
"Serves her right! Who told her to be so ungrateful, daring to provoke Miss Shi Yin? Doesn't she know her current status?" Another Beastman sneered in agreement.
"Tsk tsk, her face is swollen like a pig's head, truly disgraceful!"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Shen Tang was furious, wanting revenge on the woman before her, but the two tall, strong Beastmen held her tightly, unable to move.
Shi Yin said smugly, "Someone, put her in jail for me! Serve her well!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the surrounding guards stepped forward, ready to forcibly take Shen Tang away.
Shen Tang struggled desperately, "Let me go!"
Next door, Song Fang heard the commotion and came out. Seeing the scene, she was also frightened, shouting loudly, "It's forbidden to harm females in the city, and also not allowed to imprison a female over personal grievances. You! You are breaking the law by doing this!"
"Heh, the City Lord is my old man, who dares to meddle?"
How dare lowly commoners judge her!
Shi Yin's mouth curved into a cruel smile. Daring to make a move on the man she liked, she must make Shen Tang wish she were dead!
Shen Tang was filled with terror, her body involuntarily trembling. She knew that once imprisoned, she would face endless torment and humiliation.
Suddenly, a black mist swept in from afar, coiling like a venomous snake, entangling and striking the two Beastmen holding Shen Tang.
Bang!
The two Beastmen were thrown heavily to the ground, their complexions turning an abnormal blue, lips purplish white, and blood oozing from their orifices.
Someone trembled forward to check and found the two Beastmen lifeless, instantly retreating in fright, "They're dead!"
"Who?! Who is causing trouble?"
Shi Yin's face turned pale instantly, her voice quivering.
She looked around, trying to find the source of the black mist, but found nothing.
The crowd fell into great panic, the onlookers scattered, fearing they'd also be affected by the eerie black mist.
Shen Tang was also startled by the sudden change. Out of the corner of her eye, she glimpsed a white shadow flash by, and at the same time, the system broadcast sounded in her mind.
