Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!

Chapter 81: Chapter 75: Blow-Drying Hair

Xiao Jin had just finished his shower as well, lazily lounging on the living room sofa with his legs crossed. He wore a black bathrobe, the collar half-open, revealing a well-sculpted chest. Under the lights, his honey-toned skin exuded an irresistible allure.

Previously, he would never have shared a room with Shen Tang, let alone showcased this ”teasing” look to the flirtatious woman, always worried she might pounce on him, wishing he could wrap himself in layers like a dumpling.

But today, Xiao Jin wasn’t dressed like this on purpose; he simply hadn’t thought of it that way.

He hadn’t realized himself that his aversion to Shen Tang had faded, so he dressed more casually, just like when he was alone at home.

”That chubby girl, it’s been almost three hours, and she’s still not out?”

Xiao Jin frowned, frequently glancing towards the bathroom disapprovingly, ”Took forever, what’s there to wash on that rough skin of hers, not worried she’ll scrub it off?”

Hearing no sound from inside, he felt a pang of anxiety, ”Could she have drowned in the bathtub? Is she really that dumb?”

Xiao Jin quickly got up from the sofa, hurried to the bathroom door, then stopped, pacing anxiously, debating whether to push the door open and take a look.

Then, Shen Tang’s voice came from the bathroom.

”Xiao Jin, um... could you come over and get me a towel?”

The soft, pleading tone carried a hint of restlessness, and seemed a bit wronged.

Xiao Jin’s eyes flashed with realization.

She forgot to bring a towel.

Hearing her pitiful tone, he guessed she didn’t dare to ask him, hesitating for a long time before having to seek his help.

Who would have thought this chubby girl had such a shy side?

Xiao Jin raised an eyebrow, his deep golden eyes glimmering with amusement. He picked up a clean towel and walked to the bathroom door, his voice impatient, ”You’re so troublesome, forgetting a towel while showering? Stupid.”

Shen Tang ground her teeth in anger; this damned leopard really couldn’t speak properly. If he weren’t the only beast husband around, she wouldn’t have chosen him!

She had to feign gratitude, ”Thank you, Xiao Jin!”

Xiao Jin’s heart stirred slightly as he heard her cheerful voice.

The bathroom door cautiously opened a crack.

A plump little hand poked through, looking white and smooth under the light.

Xiao Jin couldn’t help but take another glance. He remembered this chubby girl used to be as dark as charcoal, but she seemed to be getting fairer.

His eyes darkened as he handed over the towel, and just then, the door suddenly flung open, and a solid wall of flesh came crashing towards him.

Xiao Jin’s golden eyes narrowed; having battled on the battlefield for years, his reflexes and agility far exceeded Shen Tang’s, allowing him to evade instantly.

Shen Tang was dumbfounded when the man before her suddenly disappeared, ”?”

She looked up in a daze, only to find Xiao Jin several meters away, arms crossed, calmly staring at her. His deep golden eyes brewed a storm, coldly gritting his teeth, ”What are you trying to do now?”

”...”

What else could she be trying to do?

Of course, she just wanted to use the excuse of slipping to sneak a kiss on him.

But who knew this damned man would react so quickly? She didn’t even get a chance to touch him before he escaped, not giving her any opportunity to make a move!

This smelly leopard really was on guard against her!

”Sorry, the floor was too slippery, and I just slipped; it wasn’t on purpose.” Shen Tang gritted her teeth.

Xiao Jin noted she was at least wearing a bathrobe; if she had really been a wall of bare flesh crashing over, he might have felt so disgusted he couldn’t eat for three days.

His voice was low and cold, ”It better be! If you dare to pull any stunts again, I’ll throw you out to feed the wolves!”

He swept a warning glance over her.

Then, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He hadn’t had time to notice before, given the urgency, but now as he took a closer look, how had this chubby girl somehow become better looking?

Xiao Jin’s suspicious gaze fell on the top of her head. He distinctly remembered Shen Tang’s sparse hair clinging to her scalp like a few strands of seaweed on rock, making him long to shave her head bald.

But now, her hair was thick, shiny, black, and flowing like a cloud, cascading gently down her back, making her face appear slimmer.

Xiao Jin furrowed his brow slightly, glancing down.

Recently, he’d also noticed Shen Tang’s teeth had become much neater, though he didn’t know where she’d had them fixed. The results were surprisingly good, unlike before when her crooked, drafty teeth were visible when she spoke, making her smile was a horrific sight.

Xiao Jin’s gaze settled on her mouth, momentarily stunned.

Perhaps because she had just come out of the shower, her complexion was fair and healthy, and her lips were a natural rosy red, making her otherwise plain face appear subtly seductive.

Shen Tang, noticing Xiao Jin staring squarely at her, felt smug. This damned man still couldn’t resist a pretty face!

She twirled her seaweed-like shiny black hair around her fingers, took two steps closer, and asked deliberately shyly, ”Xiao Jin, what do you think of me?”

Xiao Jin snapped back to the present upon hearing her words, looking at her smiling face with a long sword-like brow raised slightly, a hint of amusement flashing in his golden eyes.

Indeed, she had become much more pleasing to the eye.

Her face, once as puffed as a fermented bun with features squashed together, had slimmed down considerably, revealing her features, with bright and clear eyes that were at once innocent and alluring.

Her lips were plump and rosy, baring clean, neat teeth when she smiled, making her look quite pleasant.

Particularly her figure, though still leaning towards the plump side, was within an acceptable range, especially since she had only lost weight around her waist. Her bust and hips remained largely unchanged, giving her an attractively full hourglass shape, exuding an inexplicable allure.

Xiao Jin scrutinized her with a picky gaze, then said indifferently,

”Passable as a human.”

What?

Shen Tang’s cocky smile froze on her face.

Almost flipped out!

As expected, nothing pleasant could come from this damned man’s leopards lips!

Though Xiao Jin’s words were sharp and critical, they were also honest. This chubby girl had indeed become much prettier, at least no longer as ugly as before, which surprised and piqued his curiosity, but that was about it.

He’d seen too many young beauty females in the Imperial City, enough to leave him unmoved. Given Shen Tang’s current condition, she was nowhere near stunning him.

[Host, pick up the pace; there’s less than ten minutes left before the task ends. If you can’t win over this leopard, you’ll fail the task!]

The system’s relentless urging echoed in her mind.

Shen Tang’s temples throbbed as she rolled her eyes, smiling warmly, ”Xiao Jin, could you help me blow dry my hair?”

”Don’t you have your own hands?” Xiao Jin gave her a strange look.

Shen Tang inwardly scolded the dumb leopard for being such a wooden steel male with no tact! She really wondered how he ever managed to woo the heroine in the future!

Sigh, this was indeed the difference between love and not love.

”I... I hurt my hand!” Shen Tang came up with a random excuse.

Afraid he wouldn’t believe her, she even rolled up her sleeve for him to see.

The outer side of her arm was red, scratched by a branch. After applying the healing potion, she barely felt it.

Xiao Jin wasn’t suspicious, grumbling ”troublesome” as he skillfully retrieved the hairdryer, plugged it in, and tilted his well-defined chin towards her, ”Come here.”

Shen Tang barely drew near when he grabbed her hair and cranked the hairdryer to the highest setting, unleashing a wild blow!
