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

Chapter 288: Chapter 280: Trouble in the Rear Courtyard

As soon as these words were spoken.

The atmosphere of the entire scene suddenly became perilously unpredictable!

If looks could kill, Xiao Jin would have been stabbed into a honeycomb by now.

Even the usually good-tempered Lu Xiao had a darkened expression; the provocative look of this leopard really made people... grit their teeth in hatred.

Shen Tang quickly pinched Xiao Jin’s waist, urging him to say less! He just finished fighting the rebel army; she didn’t want another life-or-death battle to erupt in the back garden.

Xiao Jin pouted, but didn’t voice it out anymore.

Heh.

What he said was simply the truth anyway.

Thinking about her captivating scenery while she entangles him...

The recently calmed fire began to smolder once again.

If not for the interference of outsiders, Xiao Jin would have dragged her back to fight another eight hundred rounds.

Of course, Shen Tang didn’t know what this lustful leopard was thinking; looking at the haggard Lu Xiao and the others, she could imagine they hadn’t slept for days, probably not even daring to close their eyes, searching for her traces overnight, her heart stirred with both gratitude and guilt, ”Thank you for your hard work, but luckily, everyone is fine, it was merely a false alarm!”

Xue Yinzhou walked over and tightly embraced Shen Tang, bowing his head into her hair, his voice carrying a trace of hoarseness, ”I’m sorry, I couldn’t detect the breath of that lizard in time, causing you to be taken... It’s my fault no matter what.”

Shen Tang patted his shoulder, gently comforting, ”How can this be blamed on you? Don’t blame yourself, this wasn’t something you could control.”

Zaxxis’s strength lies here; Space Beastmen are extremely good at hiding and tracking, it’s difficult for Beastmen below their rank to detect any fluctuations.

Moreover, who would have thought that lizard would be despicable enough to act when she was in the bathroom, even a deity couldn’t guard against this?!

However, each fall is a step forward in wisdom, having learned from this lesson, Shen Tang became smarter, best not to act alone in the future to avoid being captured again.

Lu Xiao had a myriad of words but, as someone not great at talking, he simply whispered, ”It’s good that Female Master returned safely.”

Jia Lan hurriedly asked, ”After being taken by that lizard, what exactly happened during that day and night you disappeared?”

Shen Li also looked towards the two with suspicion, a trace of scrutiny in his gaze, this was also his question.

That the two could return unscathed was truly amazing.

Given Zaxxis’s sinister and despicable nature, he might have sent her to captivity in the rebel region’s territory.

Once captured at the rebel army’s lair, surrounded by their forces, even a Ninth Rank Beastman caught there would face certain death and peril!

Even if fortune prevailed, avoiding capture in rebel territory, Zaxxis is a Peak of Tier Nine Mid-stage beastman; capable of abducting someone from under Xue Yinzhou’s nose, his strength possibly elevated to Peak of Ninth Rank—how did they escape alive?

Shen Tang and Xiao Jin exchanged glances, seeing the cold severity in each other’s eyes, both harboring painful memories known only to themselves.

If they could, they’d prefer that memory remain buried deep within, never to surface again in this lifetime.

Shen Tang sighed, mulled a moment, omitted Xiao Jin’s grim experience, giving a simplified explanation to her Beast Husband, ”I was indeed captured into Zax’s rebel army headquarters, but Xiao Jin managed to follow at the last moment.”

”We were heavily besieged by Zaxxis and the rebel army, on the brink of death, Xiao Jin successfully broke through as a Ninth Rank Beastman, and I took the Frenzy Potion from a research lab, temporarily elevating my strength to Peak Ninth Rank.”

”After severely damaging the rebel army one after another, we found a chance to escape.”

Even with certain unspeakable ordeals omitted, listening still makes the four Beast Husbands anxious.

Luckily, she returned safely.

This leopard definitely made a great contribution.

Upon seeing her Beast Husbands’ grim faces, Shen Tang quickly added some good news, ”As the saying goes, misfortune and blessing coexist, being captured wasn’t all bad this time.”

”I successfully obtained a map of the rebel army’s lair; when facing them again, we’ll have an additional advantage.”

As she spoke, she uploaded the map data to the Light Computer, sharing it with her five Beast Husbands.

Receiving the map, Xue Yinzhou’s aura became even more frigid and dangerous, his eyes flickering with chilling murderous intent, turning to leave immediately.

Shen Tang hurriedly grabbed him, shaking her head to stop, ”Don’t be impulsive! Now’s not the time for revenge!”

Xue Yinzhou lowered his gaze towards her, fists clenched tight, suppressing himself, ”...If we don’t kill them, you’ll never have a peaceful day.”

He didn’t want to repeatedly endure the fear of losing her.

Even if it means risking his life, he wants to resolve those hidden in the shadows, aiming to harm her.

Yet Shen Tang always stops him, making Xue Yinzhou ponder deeply; she seems...afraid of these people?

Zaxxis, a Peak of Ninth Rank rebel army commander, naturally arouses fear, but Shen Qingli, a powerless female, could be easily dealt with stealthily, still she wouldn’t let him take action.

Xue Yinzhou wanted many times to act in secret but recalling Shen Tang’s advice finally held back his killing intent.

Shen Tang explained, ”After venturing into the rebel army’s base with Xiao Jin, we realized their forces exceed expectations, more than we imagined!”

Shen Tang originally thought last time during rebel army’s attack on Imperial City they brought all their forces; following this, she knew she was terribly wrong.

The rebel army’s lair still stationed massive troops, even numerous high-level Beastman commanders!

The true power of the rebel army, far surpassing predictions of various Empires.

The most terrifying is, up till now, there are still two major rebel army leaders unexposed, shrouded in mystery externally, with no related information found.

The way Shen Tang and Xiao Jin disrupted the rebel army’s lair didn’t lure out these two leaders, either they weren’t coincidentally there or...to them, such an ant-caused disturbance wasn’t worth giving them a reason to personally intervene.

No matter which possibility, extremely tricky, even terrifying!

At least it currently appears.

They, including the entire Night Glow Empire, aren’t opponents for the rebel army.

Shen Tang softly uttered, ”As long as there’s life left, firewood is never lacking, now isn’t the best time for counterattack, but revenge will certainly come someday!”

Listening to her, Xue Yinzhou could only temporarily suppress his inner killing intent.

The group set off to proceed.

The snow ceased falling.

Lu Xiao still took Shen Tang to move quickly, flying steadily.

On the way back, Jia Lan and others noticed Xiao Jin’s beast form changes, not only breaking through to Ninth Rank, but beast form became more robust and elongated, entwined with dark golden patterns, a golden thunder pattern appeared at his brow, exuding unspeakable dominion, awe, and regal kingly aura.

Xiao Jin, untouched by the snake’s tail for days, couldn’t resist itching skin, seizing chances to sneak attack Xue Yinzhou.

The two soon engaged in a fight, disappearing from sight.

Shen Tang helplessly yet amusedly shook her head.

But she couldn’t be bothered, knowing Xiao Jin often suppressed by Xue Yinzhou when he was at Eighth Rank, feeling stifled to the core, he likely long awaited this day.
