Married by Paper, Loved by Fate 31

31: Stolen Pleasures

Shen Tang sighed and, bracing herself, went to find Xiao Jin and the others. She spoke with difficulty, “Um, has everyone seen the City Lord’s new order? Who’s going to sleep with me tonight?”

Xiao Jin raised his eyelids and gave her a cold glance, refusing outright. “Don’t even think about it. I have misandry. Females within three meters of me make me feel sick.”

“Don’t look at me, find someone else,” Jia Lan said, crossing his arms and leaning against a tree. He frowned, his gaze towards Shen Tang filled with disdain. He couldn’t imagine sharing a bed with an ugly, fat female, and he was even more afraid that if this female’s lust got the better of her and she tried to force herself on him, he swore he would end her life on the spot! Xue Yinzhou couldn’t be found anywhere. Even if he were, he definitely wouldn’t agree to sleep with Shen Tang. That white snake had a very high level of disgust towards her!

Shen Tang was helpless and enraged. These scoundrels really weren’t giving her any face! She reluctantly looked at Shen Li pitifully, her eyes blinking.

“…” Shen Li’s mouth twitched when he saw the fat woman acting cute. His gentle smile almost broke. He rubbed his temples, feeling a headache, and sighed indulgently. “Alright, alright, I’ll sleep with you tonight. If there’s any danger, we can look out for each other.”

“That’s great, Brother Shen Li, you’re the best to me!” Shen Tang was overjoyed.

Shen Li was momentarily stunned to hear her call him “brother” for the first time. The address felt very unfamiliar to him. Shen Li’s gaze complexly fell on Shen Tang’s chubby face, reminding him of her childhood… Never mind, at least she had reformed now and wasn’t completely hopeless. Shen Li narrowed his foxy eyes, a charming smile curving his lips. His voice was deep and pleasant. “Brother will naturally take good care of you.”

Shen Tang’s ears perked up, and a blush crept onto her face. “My goodness, he truly is a seducer, worthy of being called a disaster for the nation!” However, she knew clearly that Shen Li had no particular feelings for her. He was always smiling at everyone, male or female, a seemingly carefree flirt, a veritable “central air conditioner”! Therefore, while Shen Li’s strength wasn’t comparable to Xiao Jin and Xue Yinzhou, he was definitely the most popular male among the young females in the city.

Xiao Jin saw Shen Tang’s monkey-butt-red face and frowned with a strange expression. He turned and coldly glared at Shen Li. “What is this foxy bastard doing now?” Shen Li’s face, handsome beyond compare, showed no emotion. Since there was nothing for him to do, he yawned and elegantly left.

Shen Tang followed Shen Li to his tent. Shen Li took out a new sleeping mat and spread it neatly on the air mattress, ensuring it was perfectly smooth with no wrinkles. Just as Shen Tang was secretly praising this foxy brother for being so considerate in her heart, she saw him take out two rectangular pillows and place them between them. His gentle voice carried a warning, “Sleep properly tonight. No crossing these pillows, or else…” Shen Li didn’t finish his sentence and looked at Shen Tang with a smile. Her little heart trembled, and she felt a clear… killing intent! He really was a smiling tiger! She quickly nodded, “Don’t worry, I definitely won’t cross the thirty-eighth parallel!”

“Thirty-eighth parallel?” Shen Li asked curiously but didn’t probe further, nodding faintly. As long as she stopped doing those disgusting stupid things, he had enough tolerance for her.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host, Shen Li’s favorability has increased by 10!]

A system announcement suddenly echoed in her mind. Shen Tang’s heart leaped with joy, and her eyes sparkled as she looked at Shen Li. Indeed, this fox was the easiest to conquer. If only the other male leads were as easy to conquer as him. Shen Li met her excited gaze and frowned deeply, a familiar disgust reappearing in his eyes.

The system’s urgent broadcast followed, [Warning, warning! Shen Li’s favorability is showing a downward trend. Host, please stop your infatuated behavior immediately!] Shen Tang quickly withdrew her gaze and lay down obediently on the sleeping mat, pulling up her covers and pretending to sleep. Shen Li glanced doubtfully at the female next to him. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly and not making any other moves, he finally felt at ease and lay down on the mattress. Just as he was about to take off his jacket, he paused, glanced at Shen Tang, and then obediently put his jacket back on. He added three more layers of clothing and even attached an extra clasp to his belt.

Shen Tang was unaware of the man’s actions to guard against potential advances, or she would have been so angry she’d spit blood. She closed her eyes but felt no sleepiness. The sounds of male and female activities occasionally came from outside the tent. As the night deepened, the sounds became bolder and more unrestrained, almost making one’s blood boil and their faces turn red. Male beastmen, having fought for long hours during the day, were eager to find females to vent and find comfort at night. The more intimate the contact between males and females, the better the comfort. The most effective method, naturally, was the most primitive one: sexual intercourse.

Shen Tang took a deep breath, quietly opened her eyes, and glanced towards the outside of the tent. What she saw surprised her! Not far from the tent, a female emerged with three tall and robust males. The four of them acted as if no one were around, immediately engaging in passionate activity! The entire scene was a mosaic of adult content! Shen Tang almost got needle eyes. These beastmen were too open! Could they not endure that desire for a little longer?

Shen Tang blushed with embarrassment. As someone who had been single her entire life, the boldest thing she had done was watch adult movies at night. She never expected to be fortunate enough to witness a live, wild, group sex scene. Fortunately, after a short while, when the first male had finished, it was the second male’s turn. Perhaps he was more shy, as he carried the scantily clad female back into the tent. Shen Tang felt a stir within her. She suppressed the heat in her heart and secretly glanced at Shen Li, who had his back to her. The man’s shoulder line was broad and smooth, his silken red hair messy and scattered on the bed, lightly intertwining with her black hair… She wondered if he was asleep.

Shen Li was nowhere near asleep. The fox’s hearing was sharp. As soon as he closed his eyes, those sounds penetrated everything, making him restless and arousing a strange heat within him. Thinking of the fat body of the female next to him instantly killed his appetite. He took a deep breath, his face cold, and said, “I’m going out to change shifts,” then put on his shoes and left the tent.

An Ya went out and saw Shen Li coming out of the tent. Her heart leaped with joy, and she was about to find an excuse to approach him, but then she saw Shen Tang inside the tent, and her expression instantly turned ugly. Her fingernails dug fiercely into her palm. Why was Shen Li sleeping with that ugly monster? Didn’t they hate this fat woman the most? No, Shen Li’s attitude towards that fat woman had clearly improved in the past few days. What methods had that fat woman used to be able to sleep in the same bed as Shen Li? Jealousy twisted An Ya’s beautiful face. She resolved to get rid of Shen Tang as soon as possible! An Ya’s eyes darted around, and she turned towards Shi Yin’s tent.

From a distance, she heard the passionate sounds from within the tent. A strange, dark expression flickered across An Ya’s face. Her fingernails dug into her flesh, and she took a deep breath, suppressing her jealousy and trying to appear gentle and kind. Shortly after, Shi Yin emerged from the tent, her clothes disheveled, with red marks on her neck, clearly having just been intimate with a male. “Speak, what do you want with me?” Shi Yin arrogantly flicked her long fingernails, her gaze towards An Ya containing a hint of mockery and disdain.

An Ya clenched her fists in her sleeves. Thinking that this stupid female was still useful to her, she smiled brightly. “I came to tell you something, Sister Shi Yin must be very interested in this news!”

“Oh, tell me about it?” Shi Yin raised an eyebrow, gesturing for her to continue. An Ya said mysteriously, “When I came out to use the restroom tonight, I saw Shen Li coming out of Shen Tang’s tent. They slept together. It’s truly astonishing that the noble and pure beauty Shen Li would fancy that ugly monster!”

Shi Yin’s expression also darkened, and she gritted her teeth. However, she didn’t miss the smug glint in An Ya’s eyes and suppressed her anger. “So you ran all this way tonight to tell me this? Are you trying to get me to deal with Shen Tang for you?” She sneered, “Trying to use provocation to kill with a borrowed knife? An Ya, do you take me for a fool? Do you really think I’ll be instigated by you?”

An Ya’s face paled, not expecting this female to be so cunning and see through her intentions. She bit her lower lip and said pitifully, “Sister Shi Yin, I didn’t mean that. You are the most powerful female in the city, and the one I admire the most. How could I dare…”

“Enough! Shut up, you bitch! I hate pretentious sluts like you the most! Who are you putting on a show for?” Shi Yin interrupted impatiently, her disgust unconcealed. Shi Yin jealously stared at An Ya’s beautiful and sexy face. This bitch, just a low-class commoner, but relying on that face, she had become the most favored female by male beasts in the city. Even her beast husband had secretly looked at her several times, and Shi Yin had found out.

An Ya’s face was extremely ugly from Shi Yin’s harsh words. “Alright, Yin Yin, why are you getting angry with an outsider late at night? It’s cold outside, come inside and sleep.” A gentle and pleasant male voice came from behind. Bai Xi, having heard the commotion outside, lifted the tent flap and strode forward, embracing Shi Yin and comforting her softly. At the same time, he discreetly gave An Ya a look.

An Ya suppressed the venom in her eyes, a smile curving her lips. “Since Sister doesn’t welcome me, I won’t disturb your rest.” With that, she turned and left, heading for a secluded grove nearby. A moment later, rustling sounds came from behind her, and she was pulled into a tall, broad embrace. “Heh heh, did you miss me?”

“You’re finally here, I’ve been waiting for you for so long, I missed you so much,” An Ya playfully turned around and looked at the gentle and refined Bai Xi before her. The collar of his white shirt was half-open, revealing ambiguous bite marks. A flash of displeasure crossed An Ya’s eyes. “Hmph, you’re drained by that female, and you still have the energy to look for me?”

“Whether I’m drained or not, you’ll find out if you try?” Bai Xi smiled ambiguously, pushing her to the ground and impatiently stripping her clothes. An Ya looked up at the misty night sky, a triumphant smile curving her lips. “Shi Yin, oh Shi Yin, even proud you wouldn’t have imagined that the male you trust and love the most is now on top of me like a rutting dog!”

Before coming to the polluted land, Bai Xi was a pharmaceutical researcher, with considerable strength and talent, and a handsome, gentle appearance. An Ya had only subtly seduced him a few times, and she had secretly pulled him to her lair. Ever since that illicit encounter, Bai Xi had developed a taste for An Ya’s body. Her beauty and alluring, sexy figure were so much better than Shi Yin’s, he couldn’t help himself! The two had maintained a secret relationship for nearly half a year without Shi Yin discovering it. This feeling of illicit love was more stimulating and addictive.

Bai Xi’s voice was hoarse. “What did you go to see Yin Yin for today?” An Ya’s watery eyes looked resentful. “Isn’t it because I missed you? We haven’t seen each other in so long.”

“…She’s been preparing for pregnancy recently, so I couldn’t get away,” Bai Xi’s face flickered with guilt. An Ya naturally didn’t miss the subtle change in his emotions and bit her lip, looking pitiful. “Do you like her more? Or… do you want me more?”

After more than ten minutes, when they finished, he put on his pants and threw her a tube of berserk potion. An Ya excitedly put the potion in her pocket and reluctantly looked at the man who had turned his back. She said softly and charmingly, “Are you leaving? When can we be together openly?”

“Time is almost up, I have to go quickly before Yin Yin finds out.” After venting, the male’s voice became indifferent. He fastened his belt, put on his jacket, even buttoned up his shirt to cover the marks, and then got up and left.

An Ya lay on the ground for a while before getting up and slowly dressing. She looked in the direction Bai Xi had left with eyes full of sarcasm. “A bunch of males who think with their lower halves, it’s too easy to get them.” Then, she looked resolutely in the direction of Shen Li’s tent. “As long as it’s a male I desire, he will be mine sooner or later!”

An Ya returned to her tent, and the two males smelled the scent of her arousal mixed with the scent of another male. They were accustomed to it, knowing how unrestrained and charming this female was, but they were still consumed by jealousy. “You haven’t even satisfied us yet, and you’re looking for new males again?!” Feng Hai asked indignantly.

An Ya was unfazed, looking at her two beast husbands with disdain. “Now that only the two of you are left, how can you be enough? I naturally have to find stronger males to protect me.” Feng Hai and Zhao Yin were both silent. One had lost an arm, and the other was seriously injured, his strength greatly diminished. They were indeed no longer able to protect her. An Ya wanted Shen Li the most, but with that troublesome ugly monster Shen Tang in the way, she could never be rightfully with him. It was like Bai Xi. Malice flickered in her eyes, and she threw a bottle of blue potion to the wolf beast Zhao Yin, whispering her plan in his ear.

After listening, Zhao Yin’s eyes widened in shock, and he fearfully shook his head. “No, that’s a serious crime that harms a female! What if we’re discovered?”

An Ya said, full of frustration, “Are you that stupid? Are you sure you’ll be discovered? Shen Li went out to change shifts, and only Shen Tang is in the tent. Hurry up and do it. You must succeed, not fail!”

Zhao Yin hesitated, “I…” An Ya furiously cursed, “If you can’t even do this little thing, then get lost! I don’t need useless trash around me!” She had long since lost interest in these two cripples and wanted to replace them with new ones. Feng Hai and Zhao Yin looked at her with disappointment. They had both been so seriously injured protecting her, only for her to now disdain them as unworthy to stand by her side.

Seeing that they didn’t move, An Ya grew displeased and couldn’t be bothered to touch them anymore. She casually summoned a newly acquired beastman of the day and started making out with him in front of them. Zhao Yin watched with bloodshot eyes, clenched the potion in his hand, turned, and strode away.

I’m writing late today, so I’m combining two chapters into one.
