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

Chapter 462: Chapter 449: Your Smile Is So Beautiful~

As a mermaid, Jia Lan could never resist the allure of water.

He looked disdainfully at the noisy crowd, the river water had become quite muddy, so he walked upstream, found a spot that was cleaner and less crowded, and jumped into the river to transform back into his true form, swimming around freely.

Xue Yinzhou saw how happily he was swimming, and also turned into his true form to submerge himself in the river, feeling the cool, clean water caress every one of his scales, washing away the sand and stones hidden in them, and comfortably squinting his deep purple serpent eyes.

”Give me some room, you two—”

With a huge splash, water burst into the sky!

A dark leopard head popped out of the river, spat out a mouthful of water, and flailed its uncoordinated limbs, beginning a dog-paddle swim that looked clumsy and comical beyond words.

”Get lost and swim somewhere else, stop getting in the way.” Xue Yinzhou and Jia Lan were splashed all over, feeling the urge to tear off the leopard’s skin.

This foolish leopard chose the wrong spot to swim and just wanted to get a beating!

”What, you want to fight me? Just try and catch me if you can.” Xiao Jin provocatively snorted, slapped the water with a solid paw, sending up even more waves!

Jia Lan and Xue Yinzhou’s faces turned dark, and they directly unleashed a superpower attack.

Shen Tang watched the three of them playfully fighting not far away, laughing heartily, she bent down to tie the hem of her long skirt around her legs, sat by the riverbank, letting the cool river water rush over her calves and feet, gently splashing the water around.

She turned her head to look at Lu Xiao, who had stopped in his tracks behind her, teasing, ”Are you really not going in to play in the water?”

Lu Xiao felt he couldn’t even if he wanted to; he was a bird, not a waterfowl, so once his feathers touched water, they would become heavy and uncomfortable. ”If the female master wants to swim, feel free to play, I’ll watch over from the shore.”

Saying so, he took a clean female-style swimsuit from the space and handed it to her.

Shen Tang changed into the lotus-colored swimsuit and went swimming.

She looked back and saw Lu transform into his true form, solemnly standing at the riverbank, lowering his head to peck at some water, and then turning his head to burrow his head in his wings to shake it off, carefully cleaning his feathers.

Shen Tang almost couldn’t hold back her laughter, never expecting the serious Lu Xiao to have such a side, he was so adorable!

Whoa!

A wave came crashing over, and Shen Tang was completely drenched.

”Oh, you dare to ambush me!” Shen Tang turned her head to glare at Xiao Jin, who was laughing not far away, picking up a small stone and throwing it over.

Uh-oh~ she’s angry!

Xiao Jin dove into the water, flashing a hundred meters away in no time, escaping like a sly fox.

Shen Tang was both angry and amused.

Suddenly, a cool sensation wrapped around Shen Tang’s calf, and before she could react, she fell into a broad, slightly cool embrace.

Shen Tang looked up to see Xue Yinzhou’s cold, handsome face, with an expression revealing a trace of killing intent, she was startled, turned her head to look where she was just standing, and saw a strangled water snake floating on the surface, drifting along the river.

Shen Tang jumped in fright, so many water snakes were poisonous, she almost got bitten!

The System Mall sold antidotes that could counteract most toxins, but being bitten would definitely hurt a lot!

”What about the snake scale I gave you?” Xue Yinzhou touched her slightly pale face, comforting her.

Shen Tang took out a silver-white snake scale from the Light Brain Space, shimmering like a pearly shell in the sunlight.

”Why not keep it on you?” These low-class snakes hadn’t developed intelligence and had little reaction to superpowers, but they were quite scared of a strong beastly aura.

”I couldn’t bear to lose it. If I lost it, you’d surely be upset.” Shen Tang put the palm-sized snake scale back into the space, wrapping her arms around the man’s neck, looking at his handsome, cool face, leaning in to kiss his soft, cool lips.

Xue Yinzhou’s heart melted, and he gently stroked her hair, ”How could I ever be mad at you? The scale was meant to protect you in the first place.”

Kept in the space, it just turned into a beautiful piece of uselessness.

”Let me see the scale.” Xue Yinzhou extended his hand.

Shen Tang was on high alert, pouting unhappily, ”You promised it was a gift. Don’t tell me you’re regretting it and want it back.”

”Haha, no, it’s just that carrying a scale with you is inconvenient. I was thinking of making it into a necklace or some kind of ornament that you can carry with you more easily.” Xue Yinzhou always had a gentle smile when he looked at her.

Shen Tang was touched by this warmth, momentarily dazed.

Xue Yinzhou was inherently breathtakingly handsome. Unfortunately, he always wore a cold, indifferent expression, earning the teasing nickname ”Poker-faced Snake” from Jia Lan and Xiao Jin, making people focus on his power and dangerous aura rather than his looks.

When Xue Yinzhou smiled, it was like the sun breaking through the clouds, making his hidden beauty shine so brightly it was dazzling.

Holding his face, Shen Tang couldn’t help but say, ”Yin Zhou, you look so good when you smile~”

Xue Yinzhou felt a sudden tremor in his heart, awash in a flood of soft emotions, and he couldn’t help but gently grasp her chin with his long, pale fingers, tilting her head for a deep, lingering kiss.

Xiao Jin had intended to rush over to steal her away, but upon witnessing this picture-perfect scene, he became so flustered he almost puffed up with anger.

Even several scattered unfamiliar beastmen not far away turned bashfully, yet they couldn’t resist sneaking peeks.

”Ahem~ stop it, there are so many people watching!” Shen Tang lightly pushed Xue Yinzhou away, her pretty face flushed as red as the sweetest berries in the forest, with her wet clothes clinging to her revealing curves, making him even more eager, his tail instinctively wrapped around her waist, longing to hold her and do something else!

Xue Yinzhou restrained his urges, ”Let me take you for a swim over there.”

”Okay~” Shen Tang hugged his strong, slim waist back, as his powerful snake tail flicked powerfully, easily propelling them several meters away.

The scenery flashed by quickly, with nothing but the sound of wind rushing past his ears and the water breaking before him.

No one expected him to be so adept at swimming.

Jia Lan could only watch as the two swam farther away, wishing he could bring the female back. Clearly, he was the best swimmer, but unfortunately, his heart was brave while his courage was lacking.

His strength was simply too low, that snake’s tail could turn him into mince in a flash!

Jia Lan secretly made a note to himself: he must go out and gain more experience in the future.

Xiao Jin had wanted to pursue them and cause some trouble, but quickly became distracted by the sight of a plump river fish swimming nearby.

His golden eyes lit up, and with a splash, he dove headfirst into the water!

Soon, he broke the surface, clutching a plump, fresh fish writhing, wetly smacking him in the face!

Xiao Jin grimaced from the stinging slaps, then promptly swallowed the fish whole, smacking his lips in satisfaction, ”The fish is so plump and oily; they’d make excellent grilled fish—let’s have grilled fish tonight!”

Jia Lan looked up at the gradually amber-colored sky, feeling his stomach grumble, thinking the others would return soon, he leapt into the water himself, quickly surfacing with a bounty.

Lu Xiao brought out a bucket from space to hold their catches.

He flew to the distant forest, returning with a bundle of dry wood to start a fire and cook.

As nightfall approached, Shen Tang and Xue Yinzhou returned, tired from playing, seeing several small tents set up by the riverbank with a warm campfire at the entrance, upon which grilled fish and meat were sizzling and dripping with oil.

The mouth-watering aroma wafted miles away, catching the attention of all beastmen within its radius.

It was truly enough to make one’s stomach growl!
