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

Chapter 426: Chapter 415: Run Away with Me!

Shen Tang choked on her food, almost spitting it out.

Fu Teng quickly handed her a napkin to wipe her mouth, smiling with incredible gentleness, ”Tired of holding back for so long? Let me tell you, I already figured it out~”

He leaned in close, his voice soft like he was whispering sweet nothings, ”From the first moment I saw you, I knew... you weren’t just an ordinary little wildcat!”

Shen Tang’s fur stood on end, and she jumped back abruptly.

This reaction directly amused Fu Teng, ”Pfft~ You silly little cat, can’t even keep up the act properly.”

”...” Shen Tang was completely frozen.

So he had seen through her all along? Then all the touching and cuddling these days, he even dared to tease her!

Could it be that she’d encountered a pervert?!

Fu Teng laughed enough and tilted his head to look at her, resting his cheek on one hand, ”We’ve been living and eating together for so long, guarding against me like this is really hurtful~” He blinked, ”If I really wanted to harm you, I would have handed you over to the leader long ago, instead of making you fancy cat food every day?”

Cat food?!

Shen Tang’s fur stood on end, staring at the remaining half bowl of cat food like it was the enemy, could it be poisoned? But the system didn’t give any risk alerts, and she didn’t feel any discomfort eating it.

Her reaction made Fu Teng laugh directly, he casually picked up a piece of jerky from the food bowl and tossed it into his mouth, chewing with a crunching sound, ”Hmm, this time the salt is just right, unlike last time, which was too salty.”

Shen Tang, ”...”

”Doesn’t it taste good?” Fu Teng suddenly looked pitifully aggrieved, ”I specially selected top-grade fresh meat for you, made it overnight!” As he spoke, he leaned close, his nose almost touching her whiskers, ”If I really wanted to poison you, could you still be bouncing around now?”

Shen Tang turned her head away, reluctantly putting away her suspicious look. But then she remembered what Fu Teng said to the Necro about ”experimental subjects,” and her internal alarm went off again—could it be all the good food and drink these days is to fatten her up for slaughter?

”What are you thinking~” Fu Teng seemed to read her mind and helplessly poked her forehead, ”What I said at the door was to fool that Necro jerk, you’re such a special and lovely little kitty, to use for experiments would be a waste.”

Shen Tang finally couldn’t hold it in, ”Then why did you go through so much trouble to keep me here, what exactly do you want?”

He saw her speak, and his eyes instantly lit up, his mouth desperately wanting to curve upwards but he held back mightily. He turned to look at the lush garden outside the window, suddenly sighed,

”Actually, I’m here because I was forced into it.”

”...”

”Back when that bastard captured me, word got around that I was his captured bride.” Fu Teng said self-deprecatingly as he curled his mouth, ”In reality, as you’ve seen, that bastard caught me to be his laborer, and feigned to make me second-in-command just to keep me honestly doing experiments for him.”

Fu Teng spoke of this and was reminded of certain crushing memories, gritting his teeth in anger, ”I’m deprived of freedom since then, trapped in this broken place, I despise that jerk to death, don’t be fooled by my external cooperation with him, truth is I don’t want to help him at all!”

[Host, I’ve detected his emotional fluctuations, his anger level is rapidly rising—looks like he really despises the Necro leader to the extreme.] The system gossiped.

These two commanders aren’t on the same side after all.

Shen Tang blinked her eyes, meeting Fu Teng’s beautiful eyes full of anger.

He suddenly lifted her in front of him, his forehead pressed against her furry head as he nuzzled, ”Both wandering souls, these words I can only say to you.” His voice was muffled, ”If I hand you over, I wouldn’t even have anyone to talk to in the future...”

Shen Tang’s heart softened.

With Fu Teng’s Tenth Rank Beastman strength, if he really wanted to harm her, he would have taken action long ago, no need to pour his heart out like this?

”Xiao Gua...” Fu Teng’s eyes sparkled as he looked at her, suddenly asking, ”Can I see your human form?”

After speaking, he seemed afraid of misunderstanding, quickly explaining, ”Don’t worry, there’s no one else here, no surveillance either, you don’t have to worry about your identity being exposed, I just want to see you... we’ve known each other this long, we’re friends, right! I haven’t seen your human form yet, if I never see it again, I’ll feel there’s something missing.”

Shen Tang hesitated, deciding to test him, ”Alright.”

She activated [Thousand Faces] and transformed into a young, plain-looking girl in her early twenties—so ordinary it would be hard to spot her in a crowd.

Fu Teng’s beautiful face showed a hint of surprise, then he smiled happily, pinching her cheek, ”Just as I imagined, Xiao Gua is a very cute little female!”

Shen Tang slapped away his paw, staring straight at him, ”I’m basically an infiltrator here, aren’t you going to report me?”

”Seems you still don’t trust me, honestly, I’ve been dragged here by that bastard for nearly three years, bored enough to grow fungi, finally seeing a lively face, it’s not worth giving loyalty to that jerk and handing you over.”

As he spoke, Fu Teng picked up a strand of her black hair, sniffed it at his nose, a glint of madness and fondness in his eyes, ”Stay with me, will you? With me around, no one will dare bully you.”

”...No need.” Although Shen Tang felt quite favorable towards Fu Teng, their camps were opposed, they eventually had to part ways.

She spoke seriously, ”I’m here this time to say goodbye.”

Fu Teng’s smile froze, revealing a trace of hurt, ”You’re leaving?”

”Yes.” Shen Tang mumbled, ”Thanks for hosting me these past days, I won’t come back again.”

Fu Teng stood silently for a while, suddenly frowned, ”But there are rebel armies everywhere here, how can you, a little female, get out?”

He had always been curious about how she freely came and went in the rebel army’s base camp?

”I have my ways.” Shen Tang avoided answering.

”That night at the leader’s palace?” Fu Teng suddenly became serious, ”There’s a barrier set by Necro there, outsiders can’t enter or leave, how did you suddenly disappear that night?”

Shen Tang’s heart jumped, she didn’t expect Fu Teng to know even about this!

Seeing her revealing a wary expression again, Fu Teng helplessly spread his hands, ”If I wanted to harm you, I would have handed you over long ago, wouldn’t have helped cover for you.”

”I really am just curious, how exactly did you do it, you little rascal?”

Shen Tang refused to answer him, turned to leave, ”I’ve said everything I need to say, I’m leaving now.”

Fu Teng looked outside the door, his face suddenly changed, ”Not good! Necro is here!”

”Bang!” Shen Tang instantly disappeared without a trace.

Fu Teng jumped up from his chair shocked, turned the room upside down—did she really just vanish into thin air?

Teleportation? Instant movement?

He experimentally shook the bell on his bracelet.

After a long while, Shen Tang appeared with a sullen face, realizing she had been played.

”Hahaha...” Fu Teng laughed so hard he couldn’t straighten his back, ”Just kidding, that guy finds my flowers and plants here too dizzying, usually too lazy to come over.”

Shen Tang’s face darkened, ”Why did you call me back, what do you really want to do?”

Fu Teng suddenly stopped smiling, grabbed her hand, his emerald eyes shining brilliantly,

”Run away with me!”

”Let’s escape from this hell!”
