49 Male Hormones

Shen Tang came to the underground black market to look for raw materials to sell inhibitors.

Beastmen in the contaminated land have been fighting mutated species for a long time, and their bodies have been eroded by poisonous fog, making them more prone to mental madness than ordinary beastmen.

Where there is demand, there is a market.

Although the empire expressly prohibits the sale of inhibitors and suppressants in the contaminated land, many merchants still take risks and sell items that can suppress mental agitation in the black market through various channels to make huge profits.

Shen Tang actually found a lot of the required raw materials, but the price was too expensive!

A single Gloomy Blue Grass costs tens of thousands of atonement points. Are these black-hearted merchants trying to rob her?

As far as she knew, basic raw materials like Gloomy Blue Grass sell for at most a few hundred yuan each outside. These fraudulent merchants in the black market are truly greedy for profit!

[Warning, Host, you may be in mortal danger in three days.]

Shen Tang was haggling with a masked merchant when the System’s voice suddenly came into her mind, startling her so much that she trembled, and the Gloomy Blue Grass almost fell to the ground.

Shen Tang hurriedly asked the System, “What happened?”

[City Lord Shi Lun and Shi Yin are plotting to get rid of you. The City Lord has already drafted an order to move up the annual hunting season. In three days, under the guise of the hunting season, he will transfer the five Beast Husbands outside the city, then send his subordinates to arrest you for interrogation, and finally kill you and frame the attackers from the contaminated land outside the city.]

Shen Tang was terrified. These father and daughter are colluding and working together. Why are they all targeting her!

[Naturally, it’s because of the Energy Core in your space.]

“Speaking of this Energy Core, I get angry. You kept saying it’s a good thing, and after all the trouble to get it, it’s useless. Not only can’t I take it out, but it also aroused the City Lord’s suspicion and made him want to kill me. I can’t get rid of this hot potato.”

The System said silently, [City Lord Shi Lun is hypocritical and insincere. He is extremely wary of your five Beast Husbands. If a pawn cannot be used by him, he must be eliminated. When he wants to get rid of Shen Li and the others, the first person he will kill is you, a weak cannon fodder. It is only that the Energy Core has prematurely ignited his suspicion, and you can’t escape this fate sooner or later.]

Shen Tang also understood this. She could hide from the first day, but not for the fifteenth. It seemed she couldn’t stay in this sanctuary anymore.

“These days, please help me keep an eye on the City Lord’s movements. If there’s any slightest disturbance, inform me immediately.”

[Okay.]

“Hey, are you buying or not? You’ve been standing in front of my stall for half an hour. If you’re not buying, get lost! Don’t affect my business with other customers!” The stall owner saw that Shen Tang was a poor ghost without money and urged her rudely, with a hint of insult in his words.

Shen Tang calmly put down the materials and turned to leave. These black-hearted merchants couldn’t rip her off. After all, she was truly poor. She could buy these materials after leaving the contaminated land.

The top priority, besides guarding against the City Lord and his daughter, is to quickly raise the favorability of those scum men. They will leave in three days, and time is running out.

Xiao Jin and Xue Yinzhou’s favorability is still at “dislike.”

Shen Tang doesn’t have the guts to see that Serpent Beast for now. She made some food at noon and plans to go to Xiao Jin to boost his favorability.

The army training camp.

Under the scorching sun, the well-built beastmen were training and fighting shirtless in the open field, sweating profusely. The air was filled with thick male hormones.

A crowd of females gathered outside the field, their gazes like wolves and tigers fixed on these young, strong, beautiful bodies, unable to look away, planning which handsome beast they would abduct back to their den for the night.

Several young and beautiful females secretly glanced at the tall, straight figure in the center of the field, in front of the punching bag.

Xiao Jin had a perfectly built physique. He took off his sweat-soaked tight t-shirt, revealing his well-defined upper body with smooth and firm muscle lines. He wore camouflage military pants that covered his long, sturdy legs. His demeanor was wild and untamed, exuding a cold aura that kept people away.

Bang!

Bang bang! He had white bandages wrapped around his hands, and each punch carried great explosive force. The punching bag swayed left and right with continuous strikes. In the sunlight, his chest rose and fell with his breathing, and the taut shoulder and back muscles streamed with dazzling sweat. The air was filled with explosively sexual male hormones!

The females outside the field were practically drooling, their hearts yearning, wishing they could immediately give him a litter of little leopards.

Shen Tang was also a normal woman. She couldn’t help but swallow her saliva. She wasn’t as excessive as the females around her, merely appreciating.

Moreover, the person in the field was her legitimate Beast Husband.

Looking wasn’t illegal.

Amidst the envious and jealous gazes of the other females, Shen Tang slowly walked into the field and sat on a lounge chair, watching Xiao Jin sweat profusely not far away. She didn’t rush to disturb him and planned to talk to him after his training.

Several young males at the entrance saw Shen Tang arrive, surprise appearing on their faces. They exchanged glances and smiled mischievously.

“Did the sun rise from the west today? Why is Shen Tang here at the training camp?”

“Heh heh, look at her lecherous look staring at our boss. She’s practically drooling. She should at least try to control herself…”

Shen Tang’s face turned red when she heard these beasts’ teasing words. She even instinctively reached out to touch her mouth—Nonsense, she wasn’t drooling! The young beasts saw her actually touch her mouth and burst into laughter, unable to straighten up. They never realized this fat woman was so amusing before.

Shen Tang glared at them fiercely. These soldier-like ruffians were really no good.

Her moist, charming cat-like eyes were filled with a hint of grievance. The nearby male beast was instantly stunned. When he came to his senses, his face turned red.

Damn it, this is unbelievable. He actually found this fat woman a little attractive.

He’s leaving, leaving. He needs to look at some sexy photos of beautiful females to cleanse his eyes.

“Hey, Captain, your woman is here to see you. Aren’t you going to talk to her?” A young beast who had a good relationship with Xiao Jin walked over, bumped his shoulder, and teased him with a laugh.

Xiao Jin unwrapped his hand bandages, draped a white towel over his shoulder, furrowed his brows, and glanced with a stern, handsome face towards the lounge chair at the entrance. He had naturally seen this fat woman arrive, but he simply couldn’t be bothered to go talk to her.

Xiao Jin took the purified water handed over by a beast beside him, strode to Shen Tang’s front, and said impatiently, “What are you doing at the training ground?”

“Of course, I’m looking for you. Do I have other Beast Husbands here?” Shen Tang pouted.

A hint of impatience flashed in Xiao Jin’s eyes, and his tone became even more irritable and disdainful, “Have you forgotten how I warned you before? Don’t bother me if there’s nothing important, or don’t blame me for throwing you out in front of everyone!”

Shen Tang gritted her back teeth. This scumbag’s attitude was too bad! She silently chanted, “Don’t get angry, don’t get angry. If you get sick from anger, no one will take care of you.” She raised a gentle and considerate smile, “You haven’t eaten lunch yet, have you? I made something for you to eat.”

The other beasts in the field all looked over, their faces filled with disbelief. Legend had it that this female was greedy and lazy, yet she actually brought food to the Captain.

This is too fortunate.

In all their lives, they had never seen a female so gentle and considerate, and a trace of envy appeared in their hearts.
