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

Chapter 243: Chapter 235: Standing Up for the Leopard

The attendant reminded, ”Why did the Young Master suddenly ask about the deeds of that Princess? Is there something on your mind?”

Yun Han snapped back to reality, his eyes dark and unreadable.

He extinguished the cigarette and casually tossed it into a pot.

With a tone full of implications, he asked, ”Did she really do all that, or did she steal someone else’s credit as a means to win over the people? To compete for the throne with Qingli?”

The attendant was silent, ”I swear on my life, the related news is all over the Star Network, covered by major media. If the Young Master doesn’t believe it, you can check for yourself.”

Yun Han held a high position and was always busy, usually uninterested in such trivial gossip news.

Let alone news about his former fiancée from whom he had broken off the engagement.

But this time, after a moment’s hesitation, he impulsively opened his Light Computer.

Just then, sounds of chaos and fighting from outside interrupted his thoughts.

Yun Han rose to see, his expression startled, a mysterious smile on his face,

”Ha, truly restless.”

...

Shen Tang didn’t know there were people watching from above; by the time she hurried over, the scene was extremely chaotic!

A large group of beastmen lay sprawled on the ground, covered in wounds, groaning everywhere.

At the center of the chaos, Xiao Jin was being suppressed by an Eighth Rank Beastman and several other beastmen of similar rank, being pinned to the ground.

He glared fiercely at some coward hiding in the crowd, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, yet he was full of defiance, sneering coldly, ”If you have the guts, come fight me one-on-one! Hiding behind others, what kind of skill is that, you coward! I spit on you!”

He spat fiercely.

The Eighth Rank Beastman’s face was dark, he punched Xiao Jin in the face, cursing, ”If you don’t want to die, behave yourself!”

A metallic taste rose in Xiao Jin’s throat, but his bones were as hard as steel, unwilling to bend!

He looked at the fierce group of people, laughing even more wildly, ”To arrest a lowly commoner like me, the Liu Family actually deploys such a large formation, you guys sure think highly of me!”

His mocking laughter grew louder, attracting more and more onlookers.

The nearby security squad was alarmed, but since the Liu Family was present, they didn’t dare to step forward.

”Shut up!”

Liu Chen, face flushed with anger, walked out of the crowd, glaring at Xiao Jin with hatred, irate and embarrassed, ”A mere commoner dares to seriously injure this Young Master, I’ll make your life worse than death! Someone! Drag him back to the military prison, I’ll personally torment him!”

For a commoner with no background, it’s incredibly easy for a noble to convict them.

The lackeys were about to drag Xiao Jin to the prison.

A black fog suddenly attacked, scattering a large group of beastmen.

That Eighth Rank Beastman reacted the fastest, quickly forming a golden stone barrier around him, but the opponent was even faster, a silvery white tail lashed over fiercely, shattering his supposedly unbreakable barrier, flinging him several meters away.

Boom! Even the streetlight snapped in half, and the beastman spat a mouthful of blood.

The unexpected change left the entire scene shocked! An uproar ensued!

Seizing the chaos, Shen Tang rushed into the crowd, helping up the fallen Xiao Jin, ”Are you alright?”

”Tangtang?” Xiao Jin was full of shock; he didn’t expect her to come. A trace of embarrassment flashed across his injured handsome face.

Seeing him still trying to cover up, Shen Tang smiled angrily, ”Still not planning to tell me the truth? If I hadn’t come today, I might have had to collect your body from the prison!”

”...Sorry, Tangtang.”

”Now’s not the time for apologies; I’ll deal with you properly when we get home.”

Though she said that, Shen Tang didn’t think Xiao Jin was in the wrong — Young Master Liu provoked him first, if she were Xiao Jin, she would fight back too!

Xue Yinzhou, having dealt with the lackeys brought by the Liu Family, approached Shen Tang with a Ninth Rank pressure overwhelming the entire scene like a tidal wave!

The face of the Liu Family Head changed dramatically, filled with shock.

With so many people watching, he couldn’t swallow this humiliation, becoming more and more furious, he walked over with a stern face, angrily accusing, ”Is Her Highness trying to shield a criminal husband?!”

”Old fool, you better...” Xiao Jin was just about to retort when Shen Tang hurriedly pulled him back.

She stepped forward to confront the Liu Family Head, ”My beast husband was publicly humiliated; I just came to rescue him, how is that shielding?”

”Does Her Highness think the Liu Family is bullying the weak with power?” The Liu Family Head questioned with a stern face.

Each word he spoke of ’Her Highness’ carried no respect, faintly revealing disdain and scorn, ”My Liu Family has been a meritorious family for the Empire for a century; I advise Her Highness to think twice before wading into these muddy waters for a beast husband of little importance!”

A fake princess with only a nominal title, daring to go against the Liu Family?

Truly overestimating oneself!

”I ask the Liu Family Head to show some respect to my Female Master.”

Another steady and authoritative voice came.

Lu Xiao strode over, tall and imposing, instantly becoming the focus of the entire scene.

No matter how powerful the Liu Family was, could they rival the Lu Family?

As if doused with a bucket of cold water, the Liu Family Head’s arrogance instantly dissipated, his face becoming darker and uglier.

Unwilling, he said, ”What about the Lu Family? Do they oppress the weak with power too? Besides, Her Highness as a Princess should set an example and not unjustly shield a beast husband, chilling the loyal hearts of meritorious families!”

Knowing he couldn’t compare in terms of power, he attempted to reason.

In front of so many people, the Liu Family Head even disregarded his son’s little reputation, pulling out a hospital proof, ”This commoner injured my son, I just want to seek justice for him!”

Shen Tang glanced at the hospital proof, finding it even more laughable.

So she truly laughed.

”The Liu Family is certainly overprotective of their son, but unfortunately, the little darling was not as skilled, lost and was taught a lesson, yet now tries to shift the blame? Why not go and retrieve the surveillance footage with me, to see who the real victim is?”

Liu Chen’s face turned pale at her words.

When he went back to complain to his father, he’d greatly exaggerated his story, claiming the commoner was jealous over his job being taken and secretly led a gang to attack him.

Once the surveillance is retrieved, isn’t it over?

Liu Chen hurriedly told his father, ”Forget it, Dad, even Her Highness and the eldest son of Lu Family stepped in, anyway, I’m fine, let’s just drop it!”

”Retrieve the surveillance! Not that I’m afraid of her!” The Liu Family Head was unhappy, his own son beaten up so badly and becoming the laughing stock of the nobles, how could he just let it go!?

Shen Tang sneered, ”The Liu Family Head is right, my beast husband was beaten twice in vain, this cannot just be let go, let’s go, retrieve the surveillance now!”

The Liu Family Head saw her confident demeanor, a sense of unease flickered in his heart, but he had already spoken, and with so many people watching, he couldn’t go back on his words, otherwise, he’d be slapping himself in the face.

He immediately led people to the shop.

Liu Chen’s face was as pale as paper, unable to stop his father; at this point, he knew he was completely doomed.

Once the surveillance was retrieved.

The truth was revealed!

Everyone saw it — Liu Chen brought a group intending to gang up on Xiao Jin, only to end up being beaten miserably; it was both ridiculous and shameful.

The Liu Family Head’s face turned livid, having lived most of his life, his face was utterly thrown away by this unfilial son!

There was nothing more to say, wishing he could drag this unfilial son home immediately, truly disgraceful!

”If Young Master Liu is still unconvinced, how about Her Highness personally oversees a fair duel between you two again?”

Shen Tang didn’t intend to let them off so easily. Her cold eyes swept towards Liu Chen, her words provocative, ”Young Master Liu, as an Empire Vice Admiral, surely you wouldn’t refuse this formal challenge?”

Liu Chen’s lips turned white, barely containing his trembling, ”I! I am the dignified Young Master of the Liu Family, why should I fight a commoner, lowering my status!”

”Then let Her Highness stand in for my husband against you, would I be qualified enough?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Tang waved her hand, several earth spikes erupted from the ground, rushing towards him!
