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

Chapter 165: Chapter 159: Saving the Young Serpent

Shen Tang opened her eyes again and found herself standing on a bustling street. However, her vision had become strange, with the passersby and city walls towering over her.

Her sight could only rest on the waists of adult beastmen... like a child’s perspective.

She quickly looked down at her hands and found they had become small and chubby, clearly a child’s body.

[Does the host want to take a look at your current appearance?] The system was directly bound to Shen Tang’s spirit, so even as a spirit body in someone else’s mental realm, they could converse directly.

Shen Tang was indeed curious, ”Project it for me to see.”

An electronic projection screen appeared before her eyes.

In the center of the screen was a little girl of about seven or eight years old, dressed luxuriously, looking fair and plump, resembling a child from a wealthy family.

However, her appearance was quite average, neither ugly nor pretty, barely noticeable as fresh and distinctive.

This was probably the original appearance before the host was tainted and disfigured.

Shen Tang had learned in advance from the system that the mental realm’s projection was the most profound memory hidden deep in the host’s heart.

It might be affection, it might be disgust, or it could be overwhelming hatred.

Everything was unknown.

Comforting it was extremely difficult.

Shen Tang looked down at her somewhat chubby little hands, appearing to be about ten years ago, unsure of what Xue Yinzhou had experienced at that time.

Considering the host’s attire, she should have sneaked out of the palace to play in the city, followed by a dozen disguised guards, closely protecting her safety.

A guard respectfully spoke up, ”Princess, ahead is the slave market. Shall we proceed now?”

Slave market?

Shen Tang’s heart flashed with surprise, recalling the host’s memory. It seemed it was during this time that she bought Xue Yinzhou from the slave market.

The hatred buried deep in his memory was from the day the host bought him.

One would think it was a journey from hell to paradise, unexpectedly, it was the beginning of falling into eternal hell.

If he had known he would be tortured for years to come, he would rather linger on the edge of life and death, even die, than endure this relentless torment due to this life-saving grace.

If there was a remorse remedy in the world.

Xue Yinzhou would have surely not wanted to be bought by the host back then.

Shen Tang’s eyes darkened slightly, she nodded, ”Let’s go there now!”

Her voice was that of a crisp and pleasant female child’s voice.

Anyone who heard it would think she was a cute and kind little female.

The guards secretly sighed to themselves, but unfortunately, the reality was quite the opposite.

Though the princess was young, her methods were extremely cruel, especially adept at tormenting people, none of the palace attendants had escaped her whipping and torture.

No slave knew how unfortunate it was to be bought by her, it was truly worse than death!

The group hadn’t reached the market yet.

Suddenly, sounds of fighting and insults came from ahead.

Shen Tang turned her head curiously, and when she caught sight of that familiar white figure surrounded by several strong men, her heart skipped a beat. Without thinking, she quickly walked over.

”Hey, your highness... Miss! Where are you going!”

The guards hurriedly followed.

...

Xue Yinzhou didn’t know where he came from, nor did he know who his parents were.

Since he could remember, he had been constantly hunted down, endlessly hunted.

The only one who cared for him was a sixty-year-old beastman elder.

In Xue Yinzhou’s childhood, when he was incapable of taking care of himself, the elder looked after his clothes, food, shelter, and safety, taking him everywhere to avoid the pursuit.

The two had to change their residence every month on average.

Xue Yinzhou didn’t know where these pursuers came from, nor why they wanted to kill him.

But the elder never told him the reasons, only warned him that they were very dangerous and to run when he saw them, never allowing them to capture him!

Unfortunately, later they were discovered by those people.

The loyal elder was kidnapped by them to save him and died tragically in the wild.

On that day, Xue Yinzhou transformed into his original form, hiding silently in a corner, not daring to cry out loud.

After those people had searched the house and left angrily, he quietly waited until nightfall before daring to sneak out.

Xue Yinzhou followed the trail of blood and the air’s remaining scent, chasing to the desolate wilderness.

He wanted to see the elder one last time.

The elder had raised him since childhood, protected him for so long, and at the very least, he couldn’t let the elder’s corpse lie in the wild, abandoned and unburied, where it would be eaten by wild beasts in the forest.

He never thought of being caught in a hunter’s trap halfway. Xue Yinzhou was captured and sold to the slave market, enduring daily humiliation, whipped if disobedient.

At the slave market, Xue Yinzhou went through a very dark period.

Later, he finally found a chance to escape!

Unfortunately, at that time, his strength was too weak, and he was quickly discovered and pursued by those people.

The slave market owner, furious, led a group to beat him, wanting to kill this runaway worthless slave.

Xue Yinzhou was severely beaten, disoriented, and incredibly weak. He transformed into his original form, a slender white snake over a meter long, lying crookedly on the ground as if lifeless.

The owner spat on the ground, cursing, ”Damn it, a complete waste, costing me so much time!”

He then raised the spiked long whip in his hand, ready to strike down in frustration—

Suddenly, a commotion emerged in the crowd.

A distinguished small figure emerged, angrily crying out, ”Stop, who let you bully him!”

The boss quickly halted his actions and turned to see a fair and plump little female. His eyes were initially disdainful, just about to scold her for minding her own business, but upon spotting the luxurious clothes and jewelry the little female was wearing, his mind flashed with delight!

Instantly, the owner put on a sycophantic smile, stepped forward respectfully, ”Oh dear, which noble family does this young lady come from? I’m just punishing this runaway worthless slave, accidentally dirtying the lady’s eyes, I’m unforgivable! I apologize!”

Shen Tang couldn’t be bothered to negotiate with this boss and pointed directly to the white snake lying on the ground, straightforwardly, ”I want this male beast.”

The boss rolled his eyes and put on an exaggerated tone of regret, ”Customer doesn’t know, this worthless snake looks average, but in human form, his face is rather stunning! In a few years it could become a bed plaything, countless females and males come for him, but I haven’t been willing to sell.”

Speaking, the owner kicked the white snake, angrily scolding, ”Worthless thing, quickly change back, let the honored guest get a good look at your face!”

The white snake awoke from the pain, curling up obediently as he transformed back into his human form, a slender young boy.

He curled up on the ground, his clothes in tatters, large patches of snow-white skin exposed, attracting onlookers’ gazes.

Like an item placed in a showcase, casually viewed.

Onlookers gathered, expressing amazement at the boy’s appearance.

The boy had rare silver-white short hair, messily covering half his face, stained with blood and dirt, and the exposed skin bore many scars. Yet, it was evident he was a natural beauty, destined to grow more stunningly breathtaking!

Such a stunning male beast, even if useless, would not be a loss to buy back and train as a bed slave.

Just imagining his face, one can understand, serving others would be immensely satisfying.

Suddenly, a crowd began bidding, their voices rising and falling.

”I want this worthless slave.”

”I’ll pay five hundred thousand.”

”I’ll pay a million!”

”I must have this little beauty today, I’ll pay one million six hundred thousand!”

”Haha, it’s still a child, you’re already impatient?”

”Wanting the pure type is the thrill of it, really grown up, I wouldn’t care for it!”

”Hahaha...”

Various crude and vulgar words, unbearable to hear.
