Chapter 1025: Chapter 755: Turning the Tables (3)

——Liu Ye thought he had control over her, so naturally he would relax his vigilance.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have so easily exposed his wounds, showing his most vulnerable side, asking her to help heal him.

A plan began to quietly form in Shen Tang’s mind.

If that’s the case, then don’t blame her for scheming against him as well.

Liu Ye has a strong sense of alertness, and on Eris Star, where the pollution is worse, his power grows even faster than she had imagined.

Although he’s heavily injured now, his spiritual power still cannot be underestimated; if forced to attack, Shen Tang is probably not his adversary.

Then, maybe... let’s fight fire with fire!

Shen Tang could take this opportunity to make him completely drop his guard, giving her a chance to strike back while he’s unprepared.

Jia Lan noticed the female’s eyes lowered for a long time without action, furrowed his brows, a dark light flashed in his eyes: Could she have discovered something?

On the surface, he feigned confusion and worry, "Tangtang, what’s wrong? What are you thinking? Feeling unwell?"

"Nothing." Shen Tang snapped back to reality, suppressing the myriad thoughts in her heart.

She looked down at the man’s scar-filled body, lightly touched the edge of a wound, and said with sadness and pity, "I was just thinking, it must hurt so much to be so badly injured. I should have treated you sooner."

Jia Lan examined the female closely but saw no flaws, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He forced a smile, "Then it’s up to Tangtang to quickly treat me."

He tried hard to mimic Jia Lan’s tone, but couldn’t hide the urgency in his voice.

Ha, Liu Ye must be terribly anxious inside, he’s always been afraid of death, with so many assassins and rebels outside watching hungrily, not to mention Lu Xiao and Xiao Jin as formidable threats he hadn’t eliminated, and now he’s gravely injured, at risk of dying easily.

He must quickly heal his wounds to restore his power to its peak.

Thinking of this, Shen Tang chuckled inwardly—no wonder this despicable man hadn’t killed her yet, still scheming to seduce her, probably aiming for her precious Healing Ability.

However, seeing the youth’s severe injuries, still bleeding, she couldn’t honestly say she didn’t feel a pang.

After all, this was Jia Lan’s body, she couldn’t just leave him unattended.

So Shen Tang activated her Healing Ability, quickly mending his wounds.

The mermaid youth looked at her deeply, moved, "Tangtang, you’re so good to me, I love you so much."

If she didn’t know he was pretending, Shen Tang might actually be moved by this sweet talk, but now she just thought this man was good at acting—hating her to death inside, yet can utter such insincere words without disgust.

Though Shen Tang felt utterly irritated inside, almost nauseous, she still maintained a gentle smile, continuing the act, "What are you talking about? You’re my partner, whom else should I be good to?"

Jia Lan showed a shy and sweet smile, "Tangtang is right. I shouldn’t be so distant, but unless feelings are spoken, I’m afraid Tangtang won’t know my heart."

Shen Tang’s mouth twitched slightly, changing the subject, "By the way, Ah Xiao and Jin are still up there, we need to quickly go find them, and tell them about your awakening, so they won’t worry."

As Shen Tang said this, she intended to leave.

The mermaid youth’s face changed for a moment. He hurriedly grabbed her sleeve, urgently saying, "Tangtang, don’t leave so quickly, stay in the palace."

Shen Tang turned her head, looked at him with some confusion, "Don’t you want to meet Jin and Ah Xiao urgently? They’d surely be happy to know you’re back."

Jia Lan bit his lip, not wanting to see those two males. He disguised his inner thoughts when looking at the female, saying with some difficulty, "You know, I just fought with them. There may be a lot of misunderstandings between us, I—I don’t really want to meet them right now..."

"That has nothing to do with you, it was that bastard Liu Ye’s doing! It wasn’t you, Ah Xiao and the others know that, they’d forgive you." Shen Tang explained.

Jia Lan coughed lightly, his face reddened more, shyly saying, "Actually, actually it’s because I want to spend a few days alone with you..."

He spoke in a low tone, "Tangtang and I haven’t seen each other for so long, I really miss you. Can Tangtang not go find those two for now, stay and accompany me more?"

Shen Tang understood, "So that’s it. We indeed haven’t seen each other for a long time, I should spend some more time alone with you."

Inside she sneered coldly—it’s obviously fake. Liu Ye would never let her leave easily. He had just been seriously injured by Lu Xiao and Xiao Jin, he definitely wouldn’t leave the sea area lightly.

After all, the sea area is his main battleground. To defeat him, she must find a way to lure him onto land.

But at this stage, first she must gain his trust, completely relax him, to have a chance to act.

Boiling a frog in warm water.

Can’t rush.

Shen Tang pretended to comply, "Okay, I’ll send them a message, tell them not to worry. I’ll stay here and accompany you more."

Jia Lan said emotionally, "Tangtang, you’re so good. I love you."

Shen Tang smiled, "I love you too."

The two continued to put on their act!

In the midst of pretense, not a trace of real feelings!
