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

Chapter 82: Chapter 76: Successful Stolen Kiss!

Xiao Jin’s actions were quite rough, with no care for gentleness!

Shen Tang saw her own reflection in the mirror and almost looked like the Duke of Thunder blowing a gale!

She couldn’t help but twitch her mouth.

Though in the mirror, she had the chance to carefully scrutinize the man’s impossibly handsome face, normally, if she dared to stare at Xiao Jin so boldly, she would have been thrown out to feed the wolves long ago.

His black, tousled hair was slightly damp, clearly having just bathed. He was handsome with long, narrow eyes, captivating golden pupils, a high nose, and thin enticing lips of a light red color.

His physique was spectacularly attractive, clad in a black bathrobe, broad-shouldered with a narrow waist, a wild and unrestrained partly open collar revealing a seductive, concave collarbone and a small piece of firm chest. In modern times, he’d absolutely be the most popular male model on the runway.

Tch.

No wonder this dog of a man had such a bad temper, yet the original host was willing to risk being beaten to death just to sleep with him.

Just looking at that face, it’s indeed flawlessly tough and extraordinarily beautiful.

Xiao Jin was intently focusing on styling Shen Tang’s hair into a Duke of Thunder look, his brows furrowed, completely missing her admiring gaze.

Otherwise, who knows how he’d torment her again.

[Host, hurry and act, there are only three minutes left!]

The system emitted sharp alarms.

[One minute left!]

[Less than 30 seconds!]

[20 seconds!]

[10 seconds!]

[5, 4, 3, 2...]

At the last second, Shen Tang instinctively turned and kissed him.

Xiao Jin was fully focused on drying her hair, his guard at its lowest. Their height difference required him to bend down, bringing them very close. Shen Tang stood on tiptoes, looking up so her lips could just meet his thin, moist lips, brushing them lightly like a dragonfly skimming the water—

She quickly marveled internally: So soft.

Xiao Jin was completely caught off guard by Shen Tang’s sudden move, his golden pupils contracted sharply, his body freezing like stone.

Three seconds later, he snapped back to reality in shock, anger boiling over like a kettle, mind roaring at full steam, turning red and steaming!

The frigid roar squeezed out from between his teeth,

”Shen Tang! Are you looking for death!”

Shen Tang anticipated his explosion and, at the moment of the kiss, exerted all her energy to dart away.

Fat yet nimbly swift, in the blink of an eye, she had dashed back to her room.

Door closing, locking, actions seamless.

Xiao Jin’s punch slammed into the wall, making the old house tremble precariously.

”Damn it, you have a death wish!”

He approached to open the door, discovering it was locked from the inside, clenching his fists, his fierce golden gaze burning with fiery wrath, seemingly wishing to shred Shen Tang to pieces through the door!

Shen Tang maintained silence, peacefully playing dead.

Xiao Jin was about to blow a fuse.

He detested any female’s approach throughout his life, especially hated being pestered by females, yet this plump girl seemed to be unafraid of past beatings and was even audacious enough to steal a kiss!

No wonder she was so coy and timid, planning to steal a kiss!

Xiao Jin initially thought he would feel nauseous enough to vomit, but besides being flustered and exasperated from being teased, he wasn’t as disgusted as expected; otherwise, he’d be hugging the toilet right now.

Oddly, the sensation of that brief contact flitted through his mind...

Rather soft.

Honestly, the taste wasn’t bad.

Xiao Jin, calming down, touched his lips, his gaze meaningful.

Meanwhile, hiding in the room, Shen Tang observed Xiao Jin’s affinity level on the panel plummeting, dropping back to dislike. On the verge of tears, she cursed the system’s lousy idea, now look what’s happened, back to square one!

But unexpectedly, just as Xiao Jin’s affinity level seemed to hit rock-bottom, it rebounded, ”swish!” skyrocketing back to its original place. The progress bar didn’t stop there—it broke through to [Affection] level.

Shen Tang was full of astonishment.

Could it be this leopard is cold outside but passionate inside, actually liking real forceful love?

[Congratulations, Host! Xiao Jin’s affinity level has skyrocketed, reaching the affection phase, rewarding the host with 100 bags of Special Effect Fertilizer, which has been automatically placed in the system backpack, please check!]

[Congratulations, Host, for completing the side mission: Kiss any Beast Husband, reward: Basic Healing Ability, which has been immediately activated!]

Upon hearing the system’s announcement, Shen Tang couldn’t be bothered with the commotion outside, focusing her mind, her palm emitted a soft green glow.

Shen Tang surveyed the room, finding no experimental subject, then directed the green light onto the wound on her arm.

In almost an instant, the swelling on her arm vanished, working even better than top-tier healing potions!

Great!

This time was a big win!

Shen Tang came back to her senses, hearing no sound from outside anymore, uncertain if Xiao Jin had left.

She considered opening the door for a look, but feared he might be waiting to ambush her, taking her away for a wild beating.

Left with nothing much to do, Shen Tang lay on the bed, undisturbed and calm, opting for a beauty sleep first.

Before long, steady footsteps resounded from outside the door.

Followed by Xiao Jin’s grim reaper-like icy voice,

”Shen Tang, get out here.”

Damn.

It was just a kiss, right? Why is this guy being so persistent!

The force in actions is mutual, he also kissed her, right? Both have two eyes, a nose, and a mouth, neither losing out, correct?

Shen Tang buried her head under the blanket, pretending to sleep, feigning ignorance.

Xiao Jin impatiently knocked on the door, ”You better come out.”

For what?

To feed her to the wolves?

She wasn’t stupid enough to step out to her death.

Initially intent on continuing to play dead, Shen Tang feared this madman might forcibly break in, so she hurriedly jumped off the bed, moving every table and chair she could carry to block the door!

Xiao Jin listened to the commotion inside, easily guessing her actions, temple veins throbbing, clenching his teeth, ”It’s the City Lord who wants to see you!”

If he really wanted to kill her, did she think she could escape?

Shen Tang skeptically eyed the door, ”Are you telling the truth? Not trying to trick me?”

”Believe it or not, the City Lord sent someone saying he wanted to see you. If you won’t go, I’ll send them away.” Xiao Jin lost patience, turning to leave.

Hearing this, Shen Tang knew the leopard probably wasn’t lying; given her special status, the City Lord certainly would seek an opportunity to meet her.

So Shen Tang quickly changed into something more formal, and upon opening the gate, saw a tall brown-haired Beastman of the Wolf Clan standing outside, standing as upright as a pine tree.

When he saw her approaching, a trace of distaste flickered in the Beastman’s eyes, but good professional ethics made him bow and greet her respectfully, ”Lady Shen Tang, greetings. The City Lord, upon learning of your arrival, specifically sent me to invite you to the City Lord Mansion.”

Is this to question her?

Shen Tang felt a bit apprehensive.

After all, the original host’s deeds caused much resentment, and she wasn’t sure if once there, the City Lord might make things difficult for her.

Shen Tang’s greatest fear was facing assassination along the way.

She instinctively sought help from Xiao Jin nearby.

But remembering the unpleasantness between them, she felt awkward, quickly diverting her gaze, pretending calm.

Xiao Jin gave Shen Tang a cold glance, surely understanding the meaning behind her look, chuckling inwardly: Now she knows fear? Wants his help? How bold was she to steal a kiss?

Thinking this, his gaze unconsciously fell on her lips.
