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

Chapter 398: Chapter 390: The Clash of Snake and Fox

”Shen Li, he’s not dead...”

”He’s the Emperor Yiyuan Ji Jiuli...”

”He deceived me, everything was fake...”

”He even tricked me into giving away the Earth Core, I was too foolish, too naive to believe him...”

Shen Tang threw herself into Xue Yinzhou’s arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

Listening to her broken-hearted cries, Xue Yinzhou could guess seventy or eighty percent of the reasons.

His mysterious purple phoenix eyes flashed a hint of icy killing intent, pulling the female tightly into his embrace, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently, whispering, ”Let’s go back first and talk.”

The female in his arms was too tired to cry anymore, and quietly leaned against his embrace.

Xue Yinzhou couldn’t know what she was thinking, most likely her mind was blank, unwilling to think about anything.

But he knew she needed him.

Xue Yinzhou gently brushed her hair, holding her steadily as he walked back to their residence.

On the way back, the system softly asked, [Host, would you like to drink the Forgetfulness Water?]

Shen Tang closed her eyes.

This time, she did not refuse.

At the moment she drank the Forgetfulness Water, a hot tear slid down her cheek. Subsequently, an inexplicable force extracted all feelings about Shen Li from her heart.

Love and hate vanished, as calm as water.

Upon returning to their residence, Xue Yinzhou noticed Shen Tang’s emotions were stabilizing, but worried she was pretending, ”Tangtang, are you okay?”

Shen Tang wiped away the traces of tears, smiling, ”I’m fine now.”

Xue Yinzhou frowned more tenderly as he watched her, ”If you want to cry, cry out loud, there’s nothing shameful about it.”

In his childhood, when he was sad or in pain, he would hide in a corner and cry for a while. After crying, he would feel much more relaxed.

Shen Tang gave a serene smile, ”I’m really okay now. I’ve thought about it on the way; he tricked me into giving away the core, that’s the reality, no matter how sad I am, it can’t change anything.” She shrugged, ”A loss teaches a lesson, life’s not always smooth sailing, right?”

Xue Yinzhou looked at her skeptically, ”...Really seen through things?”

Shen Tang suddenly hooked her arm around his neck, pulling him downwards, and tipped her head up to kiss his cool lips, ”Hmm~ Still feels a bit sad...” Her voice was tinged with a coquettish tone, ”Would you comfort me?”

Xue Yinzhou’s purple snake eyes abruptly contracted, his hand on her waist unconsciously tightened, and his breathing became heavy.

He understood that she needed a night of indulgence to vent her emotions.

In the middle of the night, the two were entangled in brief yet passionate moments.

After comforting her, Shen Tang fell into a deep sleep.

Xue Yinzhou watched her beautiful yet somewhat haggard sleeping face, his slender fingers gently stroking her slightly furrowed brows, with an expression full of tender compassion.

He dressed and walked to the door.

The gentleness in his eyes vanished, replaced by an icy killing intent!

That damned fox... dared to hurt her like this!

Xue Yinzhou waved his hand, and thick Black Fog instantly enveloped the entire room.

His figure gradually merged into the night, disappearing without a trace.

...

Meanwhile, outside the Emperor’s sleeping quarters.

Qiu Yang was sent out temporarily by Ji Jiuli for a task yesterday afternoon, halfway he heard the news of Your Majesty’s assault last night, and he panicked immediately. He rushed back to the Imperial Palace, pacing anxiously outside the halls.

The unknown female he met yesterday kept unsettling him, despite her plain appearance, something felt off.

What made him more anxious was the secret he attempted, the assassination of the Night Glow Monarch was like a sword hanging over his head, ready to fall at any moment!

He thought the elite assassin he sent would easily deal with a female, but by now, he hadn’t received any report, likely failing.

Would that foreign female expose the matter?

Qiu Yang’s eyes turned fierce; he must quickly eliminate this hidden trouble!

Just as Qiu Yang made up his mind to take matters into his own hands, a suffocating pressure suddenly descended!

The guards outside the hall hadn’t even reacted before a shadow flipped them instantaneously.

”Who dares cause trouble here!” Qiu Yang’s eyes flared angrily, shouting furiously as eight dark red fox tails abruptly unfolded, sweeping fierce flames forward.

But the raging fire was instantly swallowed by the Black Fog, not even a spark remaining.

”How is this possible?!” Qiu Yang’s face changed dramatically.

He was a Tenth Rank Beastman; yet his full-force blow was easily neutralized?!

Dark clouds surged in the night sky, blocking out the moon.

A silvery-white, slender figure emerged from the darkness, his flowing silver hair like scattered moonlight, the fearsome aura around him lowering the temperature sharply!

Appearing outside the hall with no sound, like a ghostly reaper!

Within a few exchanges, Xue Yinzhou struck Qiu Yang heavily to the ground, the guards outside were no match.

He walked directly towards the palace, as if unchallenged!

Inside the sleeping quarters, the red-haired, handsome Emperor was recuperating on the bed.

Wu Qing was attending to him, but upon seeing the intruder, she dropped the medicine—the bowl shattering instantly—

”Ah!” Her face turned pale, screaming, ”Who, who are you?! Someone! Help!”

Her frantic cries revealed the guards outside were already lying scattered, paralyzing her legs with fear.

”You should leave,” Ji Jiuli spoke calmly, ”I have some private matters to discuss with this... old friend.”

Wu Qing bit her lip, with fearful concern she glanced at the silver-haired man full of killing intent, then at Your Majesty who was still injured, but the dread of dying overcame her, she fled in panic.

The dangerous figure, she dared not look back at!

Xue Yinzhou made no move to stop her, anyway he bore no grudge against her, he wouldn’t unnecessarily kill a female.

”Cough.” Shen Li covered his mouth gently coughing, glancing at the cold, murderous Xue Yinzhou, his expression calm, ”Yin Zhou, long time no see, hope you’ve been well.”

”Tonight, I came to claim your life.” Xue Yinzhou sneered coldly, Black Fog around him instantly transformed into countless blades, rushing toward him!

Shen Li’s gaze darkened, nine fiery red fox tails emerged, closing like petals, creating a barrier of flames before him.

The next moment, the fox tails suddenly bloomed, the explosive energy waves shook the entire palace!

”Boom!”

Xue Yinzhou’s snake tail swept through, shattering the furnishings inside the hall, and struck heavily toward the bed.

In that split second, the figure on the bed vanished, the floor erupted with Red Fox Fire, instantly engulfing Xue Yinzhou!

In the following moment, Black Fog broke through flames, Xue Yinzhou’s figure flashed like a specter.

The White Snake’s fangs gleamed menacingly, biting down on one of Fire Fox’s tails, fox fur scattering like a bloody rain.

Shen Li winced in pain, his handsome face contorting slightly, he transformed into his original form, massive Fire Fox soared, the wild energy throwing the White Snake several meters away!

Burning claws grazed the snake tail, trailing a series of blood beads, flesh instantly flayed.

Fire Fox leapt to the rafters, but Xue Yinzhou didn’t seem to feel pain, pursuing relentlessly like a curse.

The two figures clashed crazily inside the hall, pillars toppled where they passed!

Hundreds of rounds passed, the palace was already in ruins, yet neither could gain the upper hand!

However, Shen Li, still recovering from injuries, clearly couldn’t sustain for much longer.

Around them, a large number of elite troops gathered, many Eighth Rank or Ninth Rank experts, surrounding the duo. If they kept fighting, even Xue Yinzhou as a Tenth Rank Beastman wouldn’t stand to gain!

Shen Li reverted to human form, clutching his chest, face pale, ”Yin Zhou, your talent and power are indeed strong, but the Yiyuan Imperial Palace isn’t a place for you to run wild. If you continue your reckless behavior, don’t blame me for turning ruthless.”

Xue Yinzhou sneered angrily, ”You deceived Tangtang, even tried to kill her, you deserve to die!”

Shen Li was taken aback, denying vehemently, ”Nonsense! I never intended to kill her!”
