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

Chapter 171: Chapter 165: Arranging Rooms

This scene was broadcast across the entire Empire, and everyone saw it.

The ceremony was completed, and the whole nation was shocked.

Public opinion also swiftly changed, from vilification to celebration.

Shen Qingli was so angry she felt her lungs would explode. Xiao Jin and the others betrayed her, and she put up with it. But Lu Xiao was the heir of the Lu Family!

An heir doesn’t live for himself. What he represents is more importantly the interests of the Lu Family!

Someone like him, who weighs the pros and cons at every step and is extremely cautious, how could he choose that waste?

Clearly, she was the one who was looked upon as the rightful heir to the Empire. Lu Xiao’s attention should be following her!

Shen Tang’s face flushed, and her heart raced. Clearly, it was just a normal hand-holding kiss, without any ambiguity or romance, yet it made her unsettled.

Maybe it was the man’s overly focused action.

Maybe it was his unwavering gaze.

Or perhaps it was his every word of promise that shook her heart.

Shen Tang only felt her chest burning, and even the skin on the back of her hand seemed to still retain the warmth of the man’s lips...

Lu Xiao turned to look at Lu Shen, whose face was ashen, and calmly said, ”Father has always prioritized family, but forcing the Empire Princess at the ceremony site is highly disrespectful.”

”Does Father intend to drag the Lu Family into trouble?”

”You...” The Lu Family head, Lu Shen, trembled with his lips, unable to speak.

It was already too late; he couldn’t stop it. He had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

Before leaving, Lu Shen angrily said, ”I have more than just you, if you can’t pull through, I’ll just have to cultivate your younger brother!”

Lu Xiao smiled slightly, ”Then I hope my younger brother can bear the heavy responsibility and not disgrace the family’s reputation.”

Lu Shen was fuming with rage, his liver hurt. He had painstakingly cultivated his elder son, pinning high hopes on him, naturally because Lu Xiao was the most talented among the younger generation, calm and steady in nature, handling family affairs flawlessly, and the perfect heir in everyone’s eyes.

The second son, a good-for-nothing rake, only knew how to indulge in luxury every day, how could he compare to Lu Xiao!

With so many watching, Lu Shen couldn’t lose face and had to leave in anger with a wave of his sleeve.

After the imperial city matters were settled, Shen Tang and her group left the ceremony site, took the ship, and returned.

However, disagreements arose on how to arrange the comatose Xue Yinzhou.

There were only five rooms on the ship, all double rooms, but the five of them each occupied one room, with no room left for Xue Yinzhou.

Someone would have to sleep with Xue Yinzhou.

These four fussy men were very particular and surely wouldn’t want other male beasts intruding on their ”territory.” Their words didn’t show it, but they definitely were internally reluctant.

Shen Tang didn’t want to trouble them either, thinking over it, she said, ”Forget it, let Xue Yinzhou sleep in my room.”

Originally watching from the side, Xiao Jin immediately became vigilant upon hearing this, his attitude changing instantly, and he eagerly offered, ”You’re a female and taking care of a patient at night is unsuitable. No worries, take him to my room! I’m quick-handed, diligent, and the best at caring for people!”

Jia Lan also sensed a hint of unease, unexpectedly offering, ”He can sleep in my room too.”

Both of them are cold-blooded animals, sleeping in the same bed without bothering each other.

Lu Xiao said, ”I’ll be in the cockpit; the room can be for him.”

Shen Li’s seductive fox eyes looked at Shen Tang, fox tail swishing, and he cheerfully suggested, ”Let the patient sleep in a room alone, Xiao Tang’er can come and sleep with me at night.”

Upon these words, the other three beast husbands all looked at Shen Li with smiling faces, this sly fox truly is crafty! They hadn’t considered this option!

Listening to the beast husbands arguing back and forth, Shen Tang rubbed her temples in headache, ”Forget it, you guys rest well too, let Xue Yinzhou sleep in the same room with me, so it’s easy to treat his injuries.”

When Xiao Jin and the others heard her say this, they felt a bit jealous but didn’t say much.

After all, Xue Yinzhou was injured saving her, so everything prioritized the patient.

Unfortunately, they haven’t had the chance to sleep in her room yet!

This Snake Beast had fought hard, raising his status in Shen Tang’s heart, a silver lining amid misfortune.

Xiao Jin tossed Xue Yinzhou on the bed.

”Dead leopard, be more gentle!” Shen Tang watched with her heart racing.

Xue Yinzhou was seriously injured, fearing that Xiao Jin’s throw might cause other issues.

Xiao Jin shrugged, ”Males have tough skin and thick flesh, not so fragile, as long as he isn’t dead, it’s fine. The outer injuries seem severe but are fine. He fell from several meters high before; if anything was really wrong, he’d be out of breath by now.”

”...” Shen Tang heard this and felt even more worried, no wonder Xue Yinzhou wasn’t waking up, he might have internal injuries!

After Xiao Jin and the others left, Shen Tang quickly began treating Xue Yinzhou.

Xue Yinzhou was covered in blood, Xiao Jin had already helped clean up, but his wounds continued to ooze blood.

Shen Tang looked at his jade sculpture-like naked body, felt a bit shy, but still drew a basin of water, carefully cleaning the blood off his face and body.

She then went to Shen Li for a set of pajamas.

Their body shapes were similar, and putting them on Xue Yinzhou fit quite well.

During the two to three days’ journey, Xue Yinzhou remained in a coma, he didn’t wake up.

Shen Tang anxiously consulted the system in her mind, ”I already treated him, so much time has passed, why isn’t he waking up?”

The system said, [I’m not sure either. I detected that Xue Yinzhou’s body indicators have returned to normal. The possible reason is over-exerted during the battle and might need more time to recover. Don’t worry, host, he’s likely to wake soon!]

The system glanced at the Snake Beast’s body’s data fluctuations, it seemed almost like... he was asleep.

Not sure what sweet dreams he was having, not wanting to wake.

Of course, this insignificant detail, the system didn’t mention.

There were many vacant rooms in the house’s villa, Shen Tang instructed Xiao Jin to tidy one room for Xue Yinzhou.

If he doesn’t plan to leave after coming this time, this room will be reserved for his stay.

Xiao Jin thought it over, then went to tidy a room most isolated, furthest from Shen Tang’s room.

Shen Tang noticed this stinky leopard’s thoughts, corner of her mouth twitching but didn’t bother about it.

As long as there was a room for Xue Yinzhou to stay, it was fine.

The rooms closer to her were all occupied, leaving only the ones farther away.

Privately, Shen Tang didn’t want to be too close to Xue Yinzhou either, far then far it will be.

After finishing the meal, Shen Tang didn’t return to her room, turning her feet towards Lu Xiao’s room instead.

She’d wanted to talk to him for a long time, reasons were various, but she hadn’t asked until now.

Some things can’t wait any longer, she wanted to openly discuss them with him.

Shen Tang stood at the door and knocked, ”Lu Xiao, are you awake?”

From inside, a man’s deep magnetic voice soon came,

”Come in.”

Shen Tang opened the door and walked in, finding Lu Xiao still awake, wearing a dark gray robe, sitting at the desk handling paperwork.
