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

Chapter 168: Chapter 162: Bringing the Serpent Home

Xue Yinzhou felt a shock in his heart. He turned to look around and saw that there was only this one big bed in the bedchamber.

He’s not picky and can sleep anywhere.

He can sleep on the sofa or make a bed on the floor.

So, Xue Yinzhou turned to leave for the living room, but Shen Tang quickly called him back, ”Come back!”

She patted the side of the bed and coughed lightly,

”I mean, you, sleep with me on the same bed.”

The bed in the princess’s sleeping quarters was very large, spacious enough for several people to sleep on.

The two had been married before, though in name only, but Shen Tang had no concept of male or female differences in such matters, especially since they were still young in the spiritual world.

Just two children, it doesn’t matter. Being close makes it easier for her to provide spiritual comfort.

Shen Tang had no idea how much shock was surging in the little White Snake’s heart. She quickly brought over a new quilt, made a new nest beside her, and explained, ”The other rooms in the Princess Mansion haven’t been tidied up yet, they’re dirty and dusty, just sleep with me. There’s room, and it’ll be easier to take care of my daily needs.”

”...” Xue Yinzhou found no reason to refuse.

He slowly slithered to the bedside, saw the luxurious silk bedding, and after repeatedly confirming that he was clean and that no dust hid in his scales, he raised his body and climbed onto the bed.

Soon, the little White Snake was shocked at how soft the bed was.

After several seconds, Xue Yinzhou crawled into the snake nest Shen Tang made for him, quietly curled up to sleep, without moving, like an obedient toy, not disturbing her rest.

Shen Tang sighed inwardly: What a good boy.

Much better behaved than that dog man who would later always try to kill her.

After Xue Yinzhou fell asleep, Shen Tang forced herself to stay awake to provide him with spiritual comfort.

The system said that the spiritual comfort works best when the target’s spirit body is most relaxed and unguarded.

[Host, you can do it! I detected that the body’s frenzy value has dropped to 60. Keep it up, at this rate, I estimate that staying in the Spiritual Illusion Realm for half a month will reduce the frenzy value to its lowest!]

”Half a month? That long? What about the time in reality?”

Shen Tang was still in the middle of the enfeoffment ceremony.

She and Xue Yinzhou were trapped in the space, and she was more afraid that the man in black would return.

Their bodies are in a coma, so if the man in black kills them, it’s over.

[Host, don’t worry, I detected that the man in black’s presence is gone, and I’ve set up protection for your bodies, there won’t be a problem.] The system explained, [Regarding the time, the host doesn’t need to worry. Although it seems like a long time in the Spiritual Illusion Realm, in reality, spiritual thoughts transfer very quickly, and it’s like a moment in the real world, similar to dreaming.]

Knowing this from the system, Shen Tang was reassured.

After finishing today’s spiritual comfort for the little White Snake, Shen Tang also fell asleep from exhaustion.

Half a month passed peacefully.

Compared to when he first arrived, Xue Yinzhou had relaxed a lot over these past days, especially becoming very close to Shen Tang.

At night, while he still didn’t have the courage to transform into human form, he maintained his original state.

Before, he would lie quietly in the snake nest, not daring to make any overt gestures, but now he was much more casual, curling up anywhere on the bed, sometimes even wrapping around Shen Tang’s arm, ”holding” her as he slept.

One morning, Shen Tang woke up feeling suffocated.

It felt as though she was being tightly embraced by an octopus, unable to breathe properly.

She opened her eyes in shock, meeting a delicate, cold face.

Not as disheveled as when they first met, the boy’s wounds were healed, his clean aura and jade-like pale skin shining.

His head rested on Shen Tang’s shoulder, with silver hair brushing against her cheek and neck.

Shen Tang was shocked to find Xue Yinzhou holding her as they slept?

He must have unconsciously transformed into human form while asleep, with his lower body still a snake tail, tightly coiled around her waist and legs.

... This guy, whether in the Spiritual Illusion Realm or in the real world, indeed had the same character, preferring to wrap his tail around people.

Shen Tang tried pushing him and spoke with difficulty, ”Xue Yinzhou, you, let go of me first...”

Xue Yinzhou awoke groggily, blinking his hazy silver-purple phoenix eyes.

They stared at each other for a moment.

Xue Yinzhou realized something, looked down to see their position clearly, and his pale little face flushed red!

He quickly released his arm and tail, blushing fiercely, looking down and mumbling, ”I’m sorry, Your Highness, I didn’t mean it...”

He slept too soundly and lost control.

Shen Tang’s face reddened a bit too, yet she, having experienced significant events, quickly regained her composure, ”It’s alright, just put your clothes on first.”

After she spoke, she got up, leaving to sit on a stone bench in the courtyard.

Quickly, Xue Yinzhou dressed and came out.

Still having the status of a slave, Shen Tang hadn’t prepared luxurious clothes for him, only ordinary ones.

The boy’s figure was slender, his appearance strikingly beautiful. Even ordinary clothing on him had a unique flair, hinting at what a remarkable presence he would be grown up.

As a child, he seemed more cute and exquisite.

Shen Tang’s spirit body was that of a child, but her soul was an adult’s. Seeing such a cute little boy, she couldn’t help wanting to go over and pat his head.

But as she raised her hand, the system’s excited voice suddenly spoke in her mind,

[Congratulations, Host! Xue Yinzhou’s body’s frenzy value has dropped to its lowest point; we can leave!]

Shen Tang paused for a moment.

Thinking, she patted the boy’s head and smiled, ”... See you outside!”

She then withdrew from her spirit body.

Xue Yinzhou, just blushing and heart pounding from Shen Tang’s gesture, suddenly saw her figure turn into a streak of light and disappear.

He looked shocked, taking a few steps forward before stopping abruptly.

The surrounding scene and attendants slowly twisted and faded, transforming into nothingness.

...

Shen Tang opened her eyes, returning to the real world.

She was still in that collapsing space.

As expected, as the system said, half a month had passed in the spiritual world, but it was just a few minutes in reality.

The man stood tall ahead, his silver long hair stained with blood and dirt, his tall and slender back gradually merging with that of the little White Snake.

However, the black fog engulfing him vanished, and the frantic aura turned calm.

”Xue Yinzhou, the space is about to collapse; let’s leave quickly!” Shen Tang hurried over to grab his hand.

Xue Yinzhou turned to look at her deeply but then swayed and fainted.

Instinctively, Shen Tang caught him.

The man’s heavy body nearly knocked her to the ground.

Clenching her teeth, Shen Tang anxiously asked the system in her mind, ”What’s happening here?”

[After breaking through, a Beastman’s power becomes unstable, entering a phase of exhaustion, especially after he fought to the death, expending too much energy, and just waking from a frenzy state, he’s collapsed from mental and physical exhaustion.]

Seeing the space on the verge of collapse, Shen Tang urgently asked, ”Can you find a way out of this space?”

[Scanning for a space exit... it’s at the nine o’clock direction ahead, less than 500 meters away, Host, escape quickly!] the system pointed out.

Moments before the space collapsed, Shen Tang finally found the space exit and escaped with Xue Yinzhou.
