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

Chapter 410: Chapter 401: Treatment (Part 2)

Shen Tang first led Lu Xiao to the nearby river to clean his wounds, preventing further infection, then had him transform back into his beast form to better examine the finer wounds.

When Lu Xiao transformed into his true form, Shen Tang gasped. Up close, the injuries were far more severe than imagined — large patches of feathers had been violently torn away, exposing bloody flesh, with some wounds so deep the bone was visible.

What worried her most was that several areas of the skin had completely ripped open, and without timely treatment, these places might never grow feathers again.

He could still muster the strength to comfort her, smiling and coaxing her, showing no sign of discomfort throughout. If it were Xiao Jin and Jia Lan, they would have long been crying out for comfort.

This guy really is...

Shen Tang sighed lightly, her palm emitting a glowing green light, and the gentle healing energy swept across Lu Xiao’s body like a spring breeze.

At the hideous wound sites, fresh blood and flesh grew and healed at a visibly rapid pace, and at the broken feather roots, fine down feathers sprouted, soft as newborn chicks.

Her fingertips slowly glided along his wings, and when they touched the sensitive wing base, she clearly felt his muscles tense up instantly, even the feathers trembled slightly.

The healing had just ended, and before Shen Tang could pull away, Lu Xiao suddenly transformed into human form and pounced her onto the grass.

His hot lips pressed down without any hesitation, this kiss carrying long-suppressed desire, feverish yet tender.

The broad palm tightly clasped her waist, the scorching temperature penetrating through the fabric.

”Stop~ There are still people outside!” Shen Tang blushingly pushed him away, ”The Sky King and others are still waiting... and this stone is making my back hurt...”

Lu Xiao chuckled softly, he never truly intended to do anything, just couldn’t help himself. After kissing her lips a few more times reluctantly, he then helped her up with some reluctance, carefully brushing off the grass from her clothes.

”Let’s go.” He took her hand, ”If we delay any longer, the trial ground will close.”

The two caught up with the group and left the trial ground.

Outside the trial ground, Xiao Jin was already waiting anxiously.

Seeing the Sky King and others had already come out, yet there was no sign of the two, he anxiously paced around.

Just as the mist was about to close, two familiar figures finally appeared.

Xiao Jin sprinted forward, ”Are you okay? I was worried sick!”

Shen Tang briefly recounted their encounter in the secret realm, ”A false alarm, nothing serious.”

”That damn Eldest Prince, utterly despicable!” Xiao Jin gritted his teeth in anger.

Shen Tang hurriedly covered his mouth, luckily most of the beastmen had left, and probably no one heard, ”This is someone else’s territory, keep it down.”

”Hmph, they reap what they sow, can’t even bear a few curses!” Xiao Jin turned his head towards Lu Xiao.

When he felt the powerful aura emanating from Lu Xiao, his eyes widened instantly, ”Wait... you’ve broken through to the Tenth Rank?!”

In an instant, Xiao Jin’s expression was a spectacle — first shock, then unwillingness, finally turning to a face full of depression!

”Damn! How come everyone is Tenth Rank!” He raged, scratching his head, ”Can’t a beast even live!”

Shen Tang laughed helplessly, ”If you’re not satisfied, why not go in for a couple of rounds yourself, maybe you’ll break through too.”

”That’s their Roc Clan’s trial ground, I can’t even get in!” It’s infuriating that he’s an orphan without a father or mother, let alone ancestors leaving a trial ground, born without it, Xiao Jin can only envy and resent.

Having completed matters here, the three should set off to leave.

Before leaving.

The Sky King asked Lu Xiao, ”Xiao’er, are you really not planning to stay? This is the place most suitable for you.”

Previously, the Sky King really didn’t intend to force Lu Xiao to stay, merely wanted him to awaken the bloodline power. But now, her mindset has changed.

The successor she favored, the Eldest Prince, was ruined. The other two children she likes, but the Second Prince and Third Princess were born to her and two consorts, their talent a bit lacking, not the ideal successors she imagines.

Now, Lu Xiao’s talent surpasses Tian Lin, becoming the most satisfactory successor in the Sky King’s heart.

To be honest, a trace of hesitation flickered in Lu Xiao’s heart too, as human nature inherently craves power, if he could inherit the Sky King’s crown, it would be a great help to Shen Tang in the future.

But his mother gave him to his father years ago.

He is the heir of the Lu Family, having taken over the Lu Family estate.

Moreover, staying in the Yunding Empire means inevitably being separated from Shen Tang.

This isn’t what he truly desires.

”Mother, you promised me, to respect my own choice.”

The Sky King understood, she sighed lightly, ”Whenever you wish to return, the Yunding Empire will always be your home.”

”Thank you, mother.”

The website requires daily updates of two Chapters, four thousand words, with no demands for additional reward updates. It’s because I don’t want to disappoint everyone’s liking, wanting to write more storyline for everyone daily, staying up to 3 AM for updates, my schedule and cardiac health have been poor (my problem, brain wired actively at night, every time plot conceived before sleep leads to insomnia, been taking melatonin, plan to rest well after finishing this book)

Many readers I still owe for reward updates haven’t said anything, a small portion of readers enjoying free extras yet threaten with rumors and abandoning the novel make me speechless, given such comments pop up occasionally, today I make a unified reply.

The author is human, mere flesh, can only write this much daily.

If you don’t want to read, just don’t, no need to announce abandonment. From now on if I see comments affecting my mood like these, delete comment + ban.

Sorry for taking up your time, wrote more this Chapter as compensation.
