Chapter 117: Chapter 111: Peeling Shrimp

The system explained, “The host’s current body shape no longer requires a Weight Loss Pill, so I’m issuing a Body Shaping Pill to the host.”

“The Body Shaping Pill not only has a mild weight loss effect, but it will also shape your figure, correct your skeletal structure issues, and make your body more graceful and healthy, full of charm!”

Shen Tang showed surprise on her face. The original body shape was average; after successful weight loss, it was just an ordinary person’s figure, far from the standard of a beauty. This Body Shaping Pill is indeed a perfect addition.

However, she had just lost weight not long ago, so there was no rush to use it. It’s necessary to have a buffer period.

Shen Tang, feeling a bit guilty, didn’t dare face Shen Li, so she found an excuse and quickly ran away.

Shen Li watched her somewhat awkward posture, his eyes deep, then suddenly his lips curled into a smile as he stepped forward to catch up.

Shen Tang had just stepped out of the room and was shocked by the ghastly scene at the door. The floor and door panels were covered in ghost-like scratches, making her wonder if she had walked into a horror movie.

“What happened here?”

The system, enjoying the drama, stirred the pot, “Hehe, this is Xiao Jin’s masterpiece of jealousy from eavesdropping last night. He almost couldn’t resist rushing in to interrupt the good time between the host and Shen Li. However, this brute still had some sense, knowing such actions would disgust females, so he chose to turn a blind eye and went outside the city to unleash his fury through a massacre.”

Shen Tang’s mouth twitched. That crazy leopard is quite speechless too. What did the wild animals outside the city do to deserve such disaster?

But with him going out like this, the family’s food supply for the next half month is secured.

Shen Li followed and, upon seeing the traces outside the house, frowned slightly but then looked at Shen Tang with a smiling face, “The repair costs are going on your account.”

“…”

Alright then, after all, she’s the Female Master who manages the household finances.

If that damned leopard dares to destroy public property again, he won’t be getting on the bed in the future!

Shen Tang had just come downstairs when she encountered the returning Xiao Jin.

Her expression changed slightly, and she was about to run when she was immediately pulled back into an embrace by a long, sturdy hand wrapping around her waist.

Xiao Jin pinched her chin with a teasing smile, “Hmm? Why are you running? Is some chubby little female feeling guilty?”

Shen Tang glared at him, angrily saying, “Who said I’m feeling guilty? Many envy a female’s harmonious life with her Beast Husband.”

Xiao Jin pinched her cheek, gritting his teeth, “Are you trying to drive me crazy?”

Shen Li walked over to mediate, “Ah Jin, both of us are Xiao Tang’er’s Beast Husbands; such things are quite common. In the future, we can’t let this cause chaos in the family. If you can’t bear it, you can leave.”

He said, looking at Shen Tang with a gentle smile, “Xiao Tang, make another copy of the divorce papers; we might need them soon.”

Xiao Jin’s face darkened. He already disliked this damned fox, and now he wished he could skin him and make a scarf for Shen Tang.

“Want to get rid of me? Dream on, I won’t leave even if you die!” Xiao Jin sneered.

Shen Li’s eyes flashed coldly, his smile slightly fading.

Seeing the tension between them rising again, with sparks flying, Shen Tang sighed internally: Cats and dogs are indeed destined foes!

She touched her empty stomach and tried to lighten the mood, “I’m hungry, let’s go eat something.”

The household’s meat was almost finished, but Xiao Jin’s rampage last night successfully filled the large fridge, leaving behind the freshest meat. Even with simple cooking, they’re extremely delicious.

Jia Lan wandered off somewhere and returned with a lot of fish, shrimp, and crabs, handing them to Lu Xiao to cook in the kitchen.

Shen Tang went over to help too.

Xiao Jin and Shen Li weren’t good at cooking, but they helped with washing and cutting vegetables.

With dozens of dishes filling the large table, the five of them sat together eating, appearing like a harmonious family, a scene unimaginable previously!

Lu Xiao served Shen Tang a bowl of stewed meat soup, considerately saying, “Eat more and nourish yourself; you’ve been too tired lately.”

Shen Tang coughed lightly, her face blushing, feeling like there was more to his words, but seeing his serious expression, she thought maybe it was just her imagination.

Shen Li tried a boiled shrimp, showing appreciation in his eyes, “This shrimp is done quite well. Ah Xiao’s skills are getting better. Xiao Tang’er, come on, open your mouth~”

Shen Li smilingly peeled a shrimp, feeding it to her.

Without much thought, Shen Tang ate it from his jade-like hand, her eyes lighting up with the great taste.

The boiled shrimp is simple; you just need to remove the vein and not make it too salty.

It’s thanks to the Beast World’s fresh ingredients. The shrimp is plump and large, satisfying with every bite!

Unfortunately, in the original story, within a few years, the polluted areas would rapidly spread, covering most of the Beast World, leading to an apocalypse.

By then, it would be hard for her to enjoy such delicious food.

Shen Tang asked the system in her mind, “Is the spread of the polluted areas really irreversible?”

“There’s a chance to reverse it. The method can be unlocked after the host completes the mainline task. There’s at least three years before the polluted areas spread, so don’t worry too much. Just focus on completing your tasks!”

With the system saying this, Shen Tang felt slightly relieved.

People tend to have a savior complex; she didn’t traverse here just to live uselessly without changing the tragic fate, did she?

Moreover, Shen Tang didn’t know if she could leave this place in three years. If the pollution spread, she would be in danger as well.

“Xiao Tang’er, what are you thinking about?” Shen Li flicked her forehead lightly.

Shen Tang snapped back to reality, honestly replying, “I suddenly remembered at the shelter, food had to be purified before eating, and the quality of the meat was poor. I’m worried if the polluted areas keep expanding, I won’t be able to eat such fresh food in the future…”

Shen Li patted her head, comforting, “You’re thinking quite far ahead. The high authorities of various Empires are researching this issue as well. But don’t worry, the Empire has measures at the borders. The polluted areas won’t spread for a while. For now, the priority is to fill your stomach.”

Seeing Shen Li’s gentle and reassuring smile, Shen Tang felt at ease for some reason.

Shen Li peeled another shrimp and fed it to her, cheerfully watching Shen Tang, seemingly enjoying the act of feeding.

Seeing this, Xiao Jin couldn’t stay calm anymore. It’s just peeling shrimp, who can’t do that?

He quickly peeled a whole bowl of shrimp and handed it to Shen Tang, insisting domineeringly, “Eat mine!”

Shen Li glanced at him, his fluffy fox tail gently wrapped around Shen Tang’s waist, pulling her towards him, “Don’t eat his. He hasn’t washed his hands since he came back, they’re as dirty as black mud.”

Xiao Jin’s face darkened, “Damn fox, if you want to fight, just say so!”

This damned fox dared to call him dirty, yet Xiao Jin clearly washed in the river when he returned!
