Chapter 968 - 730: Reclaiming the Test Subject
Shen Tang also forced herself to calm down. After learning the truth, she looked back at Jin’s actions, which had seemed strange to her, and everything made sense.
No wonder Fu took care of her in every way, even rescuing her several times. If uninformed outsiders saw them, they would undoubtedly think they were a loving couple.
But...
Jin wasn’t so adamant about going separate ways with her back then? Moreover, at that time he seemed to hate her so much, as if being with her was a huge disgrace, yet now he’s...
Forget it, she couldn’t be bothered with him.
Shen Tang shook her head. Perhaps out of spite, or maybe her thoughts were too chaotic, she tried hard to put this matter aside for now.
She has more important things to do right now.
And that’s to rescue Lu Xiao.
If possible, it’s best to find the "Return Nest" or even its formula.
Shen Tang was also prepared for the worst. No matter what, she had to bring him back first.
Shen Tang couldn’t wait any longer. She decided to take action tonight.
Before leaving, she tiptoed into Xiao Xue’s room and saw Xiao Xue still lying in bed, already asleep.
Her eyes softened a bit, she walked over and tucked in the blanket that was about to fall to the floor, gently saying, "Good night."
She then leaned down to plant a kiss on his forehead and quietly left.
But she hadn’t expected that she hadn’t even gotten out the castle gate.
Xiao Xue had caught up with her, "Tangtang, where are you going? Not resting tonight?"
Shen Tang turned around and looked at him in surprise, "Weren’t you asleep?"
"I... I heard the movement of Tangtang leaving, so I woke up."
Actually, Xiao Xue had already woken when Shen Tang entered the room, but felt too shy to open his eyes because of that goodnight kiss.
Shen Tang paused for a moment. She thought the little guy was asleep, but it turned out he was paying attention to her movements all along.
Xiao Xue stepped forward, gently tugging at her sleeve, looking up at her, "Tangtang, are you going to find that Eagle Beast?"
He said worriedly, "I want to go with you."
In fact, Xiao Xue didn’t know about Lu Xiao’s situation, but since Tangtang was originally going to the Water Clan and suddenly turned back around halfway, she must be going to find that Eagle Beast from last time.
Although he wasn’t clear on the specifics, he vaguely sensed that Shen Tang’s return was not so simple this time, and that young lady from Sky City last time wanted to harm Tangtang, indicating that this place must be dangerous.
Facing Xiao Xue’s clear, beautiful, purple gemstone-like eyes, Shen Tang didn’t know how to brush him off for a moment.
The little guy wasn’t as easy to fool as when he was younger.
Shen Tang didn’t want Xiao Xue to encounter danger. Although Xiao Xue’s power had recovered a lot by now, bringing him along would indeed be helpful, but his identity was too special, and going there might pose dangers.
Xue Yinzhou’s rebirth was initially for stabilizing the Devouring Power within him. He hadn’t fully regained his power yet; frequent use of the Devouring Power would instead backfire, rendering the rebirth in vain.
Shen Tang had to rub his head lightly and fib with a kind lie, "I’m not going to find that brother. There are some things to handle here. Be good and sleep, I’ll be right back."
Xiao Xue always believed in Shen Tang’s words without a doubt.
After hearing this, he nodded and went back to sleep obediently.
Shen Tang also went with him to his room, sat by the bed for a while, and only after Little Snake closed his eyes and fell asleep, did Shen Tang’s fingertips quietly manifest a strand of spiritual power thread, which entered his mind, weaving a beautiful dream, allowing him to sleep more soundly and deeply.
Shen Tang didn’t know what Xiao Xue specifically dreamed of, but he quickly fell into a sweet slumber, his breathing turned peaceful and gentle, and the originally cold, grown-up face softened, cheeks flushed red from sleep, and his lips seemed to curl gently, appearing particularly tranquil and relaxed.
Once Shen Tang confirmed Xiao Xue was truly asleep, she quietly left.
This time, Xiao Xue did not follow her.
Shen Tang then bought a few Concealing Talismans in space, pasted them on herself, and used Space Ability and Instant Teleportation Ability to conceal herself towards the majestic palace at the highest point in Sky City.
...
On the other side, important guests had arrived at the Royal Palace. They were the Divine Envoys from the Hand of Creation.
The Hand of Creation had been eager to collaborate deeply with Sky City, especially in recent days. They seemed incredibly urgent, having already sent messages multiple times.
Sky City naturally had no reason to refuse.
The Big Boss agreed to meet with the Divine Envoys, but it wasn’t the Big Boss himself who came to receive them, but Wu Wei.
