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

Chapter 133: Chapter 127: The Ceremony Venue

Shen Tang was just about to open the door when she suddenly thought of something. She quickly walked back to the bed, found that thick, loose gray robe from the wardrobe, and wrapped herself up tightly.

Heh heh, she couldn’t let these dog men have a feast for their eyes so early.

She wanted to give them a big scare at the investiture ceremony.

It would be best if she could amaze this group of dog men and see if they would still fall for the heroine.

”Xiao Tang’er?” Shen Li heard no sound from inside and thought she was asleep. He turned the doorknob to enter.

”Wait a minute!” Shen Tang hurriedly said, ”Don’t come in yet!”

Shen Li paused his actions, standing in front of the door.

He could hear faint rustling sounds from inside, like the sound of fabric being rubbed.

Two or three minutes later, Shen Tang finally opened the door and came out.

Xiao Jin saw her wrapping herself up like a mummy, barely able to see, the hem of her clothes so thick that it dragged on the floor, not even fearing tripping while walking.

”At home, not outside. It’s just the three of us. Why wrap up so tightly?” Xiao Jin showed displeasure, reaching out to pull off her clothes.

Shen Tang quickly slapped his hand away, ”Mind your own business, I just want to wrap up!”

”...Crazy.” Xiao Jin’s lips twitched slightly, too lazy to bother with her.

Shen Li’s gaze fell on Shen Tang, narrowing his long, alluring fox eyes.

The robe was wrapped too tightly to see anything, but whether it was an illusion or not, he always felt that her figure beneath the robe seemed all the more graceful, making it hard for him to make sense of.

Shen Li didn’t take it too seriously. He knew Shen Tang had her own ideas, and there was surely a reason for what she was doing.

After the few of them had discussed tomorrow’s schedule.

Shen Tang glanced at the three beast husbands before her and instructed, ”No matter what happens tomorrow, don’t act rashly; hold your positions. I have my own plan for that day!”

Jia Lan raised an eyebrow and looked at her, not asking much, speaking faintly, ”Alright.”

After all, tomorrow’s ceremony had nothing to do with him. He couldn’t be bothered, just intended to go through the motions.

Xiao Jin’s voice slightly deepened, ”We will all be below the ceremony, alert to the nearby happenings, ready to rush up at the first sign of danger.”

Shen Li watched Shen Tang with a smile as his fiery red fox tail gently swayed behind him. With her words, his curiosity about what would happen tomorrow only grew.

It always felt like something interesting would happen.

Xiao Tang always managed to surprise people.

The next day, the investiture ceremony was held as scheduled, at the holy grand hall of the Imperial Palace.

The hall was set up with banquets and seats, accommodating thousands of people.

All attendees were influential figures.

The empire’s officials and nobles, corporate magnates, foreign envoys.

Heads of various powerful factions also personally attended.

All to celebrate the investiture ceremony of the Empire’s future ruler.

Amidst the harmonious sound of ceremonial music, the Princess arrived.

The room was filled with astonishment and then silence.

Countless pairs of eyes were fixated on the emerging pure white figure.

With attendants surrounding her, amid numerous adoring and admiring gazes, Shen Qingli stepped slowly onto the stage under the glow.

She donned a pure white, elegant gown, highlighting her graceful and slim figure, carried by two tall and handsome male beasts.

Like a Nine Heavens Goddess descending, the pure white veil added a touch of mysterious allure.

Inviting endless curiosity about what stunning beauty lay beneath the veil.

Shen Qingli glanced over the room without much care, until she heard the system mention Xue Yinzhou’s arrival, a smile curled on her lips.

This Snake Beast truly cared for her deep down.

She hadn’t even had to remind him, and he showed up.

Too bad she didn’t know where he was; there were too many people. Shen Qingli scanned the room but couldn’t find Xue Yinzhou.

This Snake Beast was exceptionally skilled at concealment; if he didn’t want to appear, it was very difficult for outsiders to find him.

Shen Qingli had to give up. Just knowing he was there was enough.

High above the hall, in a hidden corner, coiled a White Snake.

Through the stained glass, it observed the scene below thoroughly.

Xue Yinzhou saw Shen Tang and Shen Li enter the venue.

But why was she wearing such a heavy gray robe?

Covering herself so thoroughly that even her face was unrecognizable.

What was she up to?

Upon hearing the others’ whispers, Xue Yinzhou’s snake eyes turned cold.

”Who is that? Why wear such an ugly gray robe? Are they here to celebrate or mourn?”

”Isn’t that Prince Jia Lan by her side? Oh, I know, she is the Empire’s former princess who was deposed, Shen Tang.”

”She still has the face to attend the ceremony?”

”Since she’s here, but dressed so bizarrely, what is she aiming for? Could she be here to cause trouble on purpose?”

”Heh heh, I heard she has become fat and ugly, with a face full of acne and boils. How could she dare to meet people without covering up?”

”Ugh, just hearing it is disgusting. How ugly must she be now, no wonder she doesn’t dare to face people!”

The crowd sneered, all waiting for a laughing stock.

The Empress and Emperor’s face darkened upon seeing Shen Tang enter dressed so bizarrely. This foster daughter was really embarrassing them!

The Emperor reprimanded coldly, ”Today is your sister’s investiture ceremony, such an important occasion, what do you look like wearing a rag?”

Shen Tang trembled, seemingly frightened, ”I-I caught a cold a couple of days ago, my body feels unwell, and the doctor said I shouldn’t be exposed to wind.”

The Empress’s face turned impatient as she mumbled under her breath, ”If you’re sick, stay home. Why come here to join the fun?”

In her heart, she didn’t believe it. Hearing the mockery below only made her feel this foster daughter was embarrassing them to death, wishing she could just drive her away immediately.

Shen Qingli’s lips curled into a smile, more convinced that Shen Tang must be too ugly to meet people. Just thinking about her ugly face full of acne and boils, soon to disgust everyone and make them want to vomit, made her extremely repulsed.

Shen Qingli walked slowly toward Shen Tang, full of gentle concern, ”Dear silly sister, catching a cold shouldn’t mean stifling yourself. Wrapped so thickly, what if you get a rash? Better change into something lighter.”

As she spoke, she reached out to pull Shen Tang’s clothes.

Shen Tang recoiled like a mouse encountering a cat, staggering backward two steps, clutching the robe desperately as if afraid it would be pulled off, her voice laced with a hint of fearful sobbing, ”N-no need, I’m fine. The doctor said resting for two days is enough...”

Shen Qingli chuckled inwardly, this ugly monster was covering up so tightly, making her even more curious about how ugly it actually was!

She already had people arranged below the stage to fan the flames at the right moment, making Shen Tang fall from grace! A fate worse than death!

Without further ado, Shen Qingli dragged Shen Tang onto the stage, drawing everyone’s attention, focusing all eyes on the two of them.

”Today, I want to introduce everyone to my sister Shen Tang, who came all the way back to the Imperial City just to attend my investiture ceremony. Please give her a round of applause and encouragement.”

But Shen Tang’s body trembled more violently, uncontrollably retreating, only to be held firm by Shen Qingli’s grip, unable to advance or retreat.

Her peculiar actions drew even more attention, making her the centerpiece of the event.

Shen Qingli’s smile grew more tender, ”Don’t hide. I even prepared a dress for you, though I’m not sure you can still fit into it.”

”Hurry and change out of that ugly thing!”

With a triumphant smile, Shen Qingli yanked off Shen Tang’s robe.
