Chapter 869: Chapter 679: Fiancée
Shen Li was handling affairs in the study when a flash of light suddenly appeared, and a soft body fell into his arms.
Shen Li looked down at the beauty who had suddenly appeared in his embrace, pinched her cheek with a somewhat surprised smile, "Where did this little wild cat come from? I thought it was an assassin."
If not for the familiar aura, he almost made a move just now.
Shen Tang blushed!
She didn’t expect to be directly teleported to Shen Li, and to fall right into his arms!
That mysterious person arranged things all too "considerately".
"An accident, truly an accident!" Seeing Shen Li still busy, Shen Tang hurriedly tried to get off him, "You go on with your work."
However, Shen Li held her by the waist, pulling her firmly into his embrace, inhaling the scent around her, with a voice of longing, "Didn’t you go to the Ghost Snake Clan? How come you’re back so soon?"
In truth, Shen Tang hadn’t been gone long, but a day apart felt like three autumns, Shen Li felt it had already been a long time.
Moreover, after finding Xue Yinzhou, she was supposed to accompany him for a while... Shen Li had prepared himself to miss her, didn’t expect she’d appear before him so soon.
Could it be she didn’t find the person?
"I should have found him," Shen Tang’s expression darkened.
Seeing her slightly reddened eyes, Shen Li’s playful smile vanished immediately, and his tone turned serious, "What happened?"
Could it be she suffered grievances in the Ghost Snake Clan?
Thinking of this, Shen Li’s aura darkened all over.
"I don’t know what’s going on either, I did meet Xue Yinzhou, but he’s nothing like he used to be... He’s seemingly lost his memory and turned extremely cold and ruthless..." Shen Tang recounted her experience in the Ghost Snake Clan in detail.
Now, in this unfamiliar place, with no relatives in sight, Shen Li was truly the only one by her side.
Fortunately, with him there, Shen Tang could finally express her melancholy and sadness.
"So that’s it." Shen Li felt heartache as he listened, lowered his head to kiss her lips gently, and said softly, "This is not your fault, no one expected this accident to happen."
"There’s almost no record of the Bone of Devouring on the Beast World Continent, but I’ve seen relevant descriptions in the Book Collection Pavilion of the Divine Fox Clan; the deeper one cultivates, the more emotionless one becomes... But according to what you said, he tried to kill you, that’s indeed very strange."
"He must have truly lost his memory."
"I don’t know what to do now either." Shen Tang felt more dejected.
If it was just amnesia, she could have at least tried to make him remember slowly.
But now that the Young Master of the Ghost Snake Clan wanted to attack her on first sight, it was probably hard even to get close to him.
This was even more troublesome than the incident with Shou Jin before.
Shen Tang recalled the deep and silent love Xue Yinzhou had for her, feeling a deep bitterness in her heart.
This feeling was even no less than when she saw Xiao Jin die.
Xue Yinzhou was still alive, but the man who loved her in her heart seemed to have already died, replaced with an ice-cold and ruthless stranger.
For a moment, even Shen Li didn’t know what to say, the erosion of emotions by the Bone of Devouring is irreversible.
Regardless of whether Xue Yinzhou lost his memory, if he truly cultivated to the extreme, he was destined to abandon useless emotions.
This was practically unsolvable.
Frankly speaking, Shen Li hoped even more that Shen Tang could let go of this relationship.
If she persisted, she would only get hurt repeatedly, and might even lose her life.
Forget, let go; that would be the best outcome.
But seeing her sad and upset look, he really couldn’t bring himself to say anything too cruel, only coaxed softly, "Don’t worry, let me think of a way, you rest well first, haven’t eaten yet? I’ll have the kitchen prepare some food."
Once Shen Tang heard him say that, she suddenly felt hungry and nodded, "I want to eat what you personally make."
"Alright, I’ll make it for you." Shen Li agreed with a smile.
He went to the kitchen and prepared a meal, not particularly lavish, but very heartwarming, and it tasted great.
After the two finished their meal, it was already late, so they returned to the room to rest.
Shen Tang lay on the bed, leaning against Shen Li’s chest, deeply inhaling his scent, her lost mood seemed somewhat soothed.
She brought up the matter of the mysterious person again.
Shen Li had never heard Shen Tang mention this person before, and upon hearing that the person had also helped Jin back then, he was surprised.
"As you said, he has a lab aura, and can take a Crystal Core from the lab... he is likely an insider."
Shen Tang was also puzzled, "Could there be a traitor within the Hand of Creation? But why would he help me?"
Shen Li tucked her loose hair behind her ear, "Two possibilities, one is that someone inside wants to achieve a certain purpose through you; the other is that this is just a part of the lab’s plan, they performed a play of red and white together."
