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

Chapter 270: Chapter 262: The Mass Grave

Shen Qingli thought that with Zaxxis’s twisted personality, he was worse than the negative effects of any card; even if it wasn’t in use, he’d still be a mess.

Right now, she only feared that he didn’t love her!

At the moment the card took effect, Zaxxis’s body suddenly stiffened, and a hint of daze appeared in his eyes.

He stared blankly at Shen Qingli who had fallen to the ground, the indifference and disgust in his eyes cracking like ice, transforming into fervor and affection.

He strode forward, picked Shen Qingli up by the waist, and gently wiped her wounds and mud off her body.

The man’s voice was unbelievably gentle, ”I’m sorry, sweetheart, I got too angry just now and did such a rude thing to you, it’s my fault! I will definitely make it up to you!”

Tears welled in Shen Qingli’s eyes, looking pitiful, ”I don’t need your compensation, I just want you to treat me well, to love me truly.”

”You are the one I love most!”

”Then what about what you promised me...”

”Heh heh~ Isn’t it just about killing your dear little sister? I’ll help you kill her!”

After receiving Zaxxis’s promise, Shen Qingli suppressed her inner excitement, took out the Soul Destruction Needle from space, and handed it to him, instructing, ”As long as this poison needle is stabbed into Shen Tang’s body, she is doomed!”

Zaxxis was shocked when he saw the poison needle she had taken out, as fine as a strand of hair, yet containing extremely potent and terrifying toxins and power.

With this needle, it wouldn’t just kill a female, it would probably even be fatal for him.

Where did she get hold of such powerful stuff?

This mystery and novelty were exactly how Shen Qingli kept Zaxxis’s obsession alive, preventing him from losing interest.

He stored the poison needle in space, his large hand hooking onto Shen Qingli’s chin, a low laugh rolling out from his throat, ”You are truly ruthless, being able to be so harsh against your own sister... But, I like it!”

With that, Zaxxis kissed Shen Qingli’s lips, tore off her clothes, walked briskly into the tent, and tossed her onto the bed.

Shen Qingli’s black hair was disheveled, her face slightly red, looking at the man’s impatient manner, somewhat afraid, ”Let’s focus on what’s important, once you return, you can play however you like... I’ll fulfill you!”

She wanted to quickly deal with the trouble of Shen Tang, but Zaxxis was in no hurry. His large hand stroked her slender and tender waist, his eyes full of obsession.

Zaxxis suddenly realized today that Shen Qingli was inexplicably charming, making his heart race, making his blood boil, making him want desperately to vent!

”Don’t rush, let me enjoy you first.”

”None of them will survive!”

...

Since completely annihilating the rebel army, the Imperial City had finally settled into long-awaited peace, with the townspeople and Beastman Warriors remaining in the city busy dealing with the remnants of the battlefield.

Rejuvenation, prosperity.

Everyone was filled with hope for the future.

Once the battlefield was tidied up, the rebuilding of the Imperial City would commence.

Under Princess’s leadership, they would surely thrive!

At the city gate, from afar, they saw a nimble, strong Black Panther carrying a large bag, leading the hunting team running towards them.

The Black Panther’s speed was swift as thunder, navigating through the ruins with ease, leaving the team far behind, rushing back to the encampment, and running into the largest tent in the center.

Shen Li was just bringing a basin of clean water, sitting by the bedside, carefully wiping Shen Tang’s face and arms while she slept.

Xiao Jin rushed in impatiently, stirring up a cloud of dust, dirty all over and reeking of blood.

Shen Li looked disapprovingly, ”Slow down, go wash yourself, you stink.”

Xiao Jin rolled his eyes, too lazy to bother with him, dropped the bag by the bed.

With his paw, he pushed it open to reveal a whole bag full of Crystal Cores!

Xiao Jin turned his head to look at the sleeping female on the bed, his piercing gold eyes full of concern, suppressing the urge to lick her, ”It’s been three days, why hasn’t Tangtang awakened yet?”

Doctor Goya had checked Shen Tang’s body, finding no major issues but her energy exhausted, needing rest.

Her Beast Husbands were thinking of using the Crystal Cores to replenish her body’s energy, hoping she would wake up sooner.

Only high-energy creatures could condense Crystal Cores—High-level Mutant Species, High-level Beastmen, and High-level Beasts.

The bodies outside the city were handed over to the army within the city for dealing.

The Crystal Core levels extracted were generally not high, but fortunately, there were enough, perfectly suitable to enhance the army’s strength.

Xiao Jin and they only took the Beastmen’s Crystal Cores above the Eighth Rank.

Previously Shen Tang had expressed reluctance to consume Crystal Cores extracted from Beastmen’s bodies, so they didn’t directly give her these Crystal Cores to consume, as their energy was too high and difficult to absorb, possibly overwhelming her body.

Xiao Jin and the others first absorbed these Crystal Cores, each achieving a certain level of enhancement.

Xue Yinzhou’s strength increased to the Peak of Tier Nine Mid-stage.

Xiao Jin, Lu Xiao, and Shen Li’s strengths all increased to the Peak of Eighth Rank, only a step away from entering the Ninth Rank.

Jia Lan also successfully broke through to Mid-Eighth Rank.

After the Beast Husbands broke through, they went hunting for Advanced Beasts.

After the chaos, nearby beasts had mostly fled, so they had to venture further to hunt Advanced Beasts, rushing back day and night taking two to three days for a round trip.

All the obtained Crystal Cores were fed to Shen Tang.

But they were like stones sinking into the sea; she still hadn’t awoken.

Shen Li tucked the stray hair from Shen Tang’s temples behind her ear, handling it gently, ”I see that her superpower within is almost replenished, we’re giving too much, she now can’t absorb it, no need to worry.”

Lu Xiao looked at her rosy, healthy cheeks, not sickly, but serene and sweet. He nodded, ”I think the Female Master’s body is just too exhausted and wants to sleep longer, no need to overly worry.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin and the others were reassured, rotating shifts to care for Shen Tang daily, while managing the city’s affairs otherwise.

During this time, Yun Han came over to visit several times, only to be shooed away by Jia Lan.

Without options, he could only leave his things at the door, take a distant look, and leave sorrowfully.

Xiao Jin, seeing the pile of things at the door, couldn’t stand the sight, initially planning to throw them away.

Frugal Lu Xiao approached and said, ”These medicines and supplements are quite precious, throwing them away would be a waste. The Female Master doesn’t need them with us caring for her, but there are many townspeople and warriors in the Imperial City, and resources are scarce. Let’s give these to them.”

What Lu Xiao said made sense to Xiao Jin, who then distributed the items to the warriors under his command.

Yun Han was displeased upon learning of this but was powerless to change it.

Subsequently, he stopped sending items over and directly distributed them to the Beastmen in need within the city.

...

Meanwhile, outside the city.

A group of Beastmen wearing masks and protective suits were cleaning up the battlefield corpses.

This great war caused countless casualties.

Both sides suffered grievous losses, the battlefield littered with bodies.

Especially in several major battlegrounds, they had nearly become mass graves.

Surviving Beastmen were constructing cemeteries behind the city, retrieving fallen warriors’ bodies for burial and marking gravestones.

As for the rebel army’s corpses, they needed to be dealt with promptly, or they would contaminate nearby water sources upon rotting and attract beast tides, which the Imperial City could no longer withstand.

The battlefield held too many bodies, with several days having passed, yet many remained.

Beastmen had to work overtime at night.

At the mass graves, the bodies were beginning to decay after days of fermentation, flies and maggots buzzing over them, accompanied by the overpowering stench of decay, barely masked by isolation masks.

”Damn, the stench is unbearable, let’s finish the work quickly and leave!”

A Beastman carried a shovel, having just loaded two corpses onto a truck.

As he turned to leave, he suddenly stepped on something, looking down to find a corpse’s arm.

Cursing his bad luck, he hurried away.

But he didn’t notice the twisted arm of the corpse behind him moving, the fingers awkwardly clutching the ground.

The Beastman had walked a few steps when his foot was caught by vines.

Turning around, he found himself face-to-face with the decaying head of a corpse, staring at him with hollow red eyes.

In the next instant, the rotting corpse opened its bloody maw, biting down on his neck.

”Ah—!!!”
