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

Chapter 482: Chapter 465: Monster

”Xiao Tang’er...”

Shen Li saw her dazed at such a moment and discontentedly bit her lower lip to call back the distracted person, ”I will handle these trivial matters, don’t overthink.”

Fingers brushed across her flushed cheek, his actions becoming more assertive, ”Now, you just need to seriously feel me.”

Outside the window, the dark clouds dispersed, and moonlight poured in.

The chirping insects and the charming movements intertwined into a nocturne, and the fox tail cast a flickering shadow between the curtains, shielding the lingering spring light.

...

Outside, the sky brightened and dimmed, and Shen Tang had already fallen into a deep sleep due to exhaustion.

Shen Li held the soft warmth in his arms, utterly content. He gently kissed her forehead, took her to the bath to clean up, and then returned to the sleeping chamber to rest.

The items in the room were all replaced with new ones. Shen Li covered her with the quilt, lit the incense burner, allowing the curling smoke to rise, soothing the soul.

”Your Majesty, General Ta’an requests an audience.” Someone reported from outside the door.

A hint of displeasure flashed in Shen Li’s eyes; being interrupted at such a time was annoying, even though he was the Emperor of a nation.

When Shen Tang was carried to the bath, she had long since woken up, though too exhausted to lift a finger. She nestled gently in his arms, her voice soft and weak, ”You go get busy, don’t worry about me...”

When Shen Li looked at her, his expression softened again. He leaned down, unable to resist kissing her lips, his voice still with a husky hint of unquenched desire, ”You rest well here, I’ll be back shortly.”

He said, ”Don’t run away.”

Half-jokingly, half-threateningly, ”If you sneak away while I’m not here, Brother Li will personally bring you back~”

Shen Tang’s heart trembled, knowing this cunning fox wasn’t joking, she quickly nodded, ”Mm! I won’t run.”

Only then was Shen Li satisfied, flashing a mesmerizing smile that left Shen Tang entranced.

She realized, it had been long since she saw him smile like this.

So joyous.

Shen Tang recovered her senses, smiling gently, kissing his chin, ”I’ll wait for you to return!”

Shen Li’s Adam’s apple bobbed fiercely. If he didn’t have matters to attend to, he truly couldn’t bear to... leave her.

During Shen Li’s seclusion, a lot of governmental affairs had accumulated; as indulgent as the pleasure may be, he couldn’t neglect his duties.

Moreover, the real power in his hands hadn’t yet been fully reclaimed, with many issues awaiting resolution; otherwise, he couldn’t give her a satisfactory guarantee.

After Shen Li dealt with the recent backlog of state affairs, the sky began to turn light.

Returning to the side hall, Shen Li didn’t see the familiar figure; instead, the quilt had a new bulging mound.

Shen Li’s lips curled into a smile. Lifting the quilt, he saw the female curled up in a deep sleep.

She was sleeping soundly, likely truly exhausted, having forgotten to even change clothes, her graceful curves visible, her smooth, fair skin gleaming under the light, with lingering faint marks... Shen Li’s gaze darkened again.

His Adam’s apple bobbed, suppressing a hint of greed at the bottom of his heart, feeling somewhat regretful.

He had lost control.

It was too much.

Finally coaxing her back, truly angering her again would be disastrous.

Shen Li went out again, quickly returning with a bottle of ointment in hand.

Sitting by the bed, he opened the ointment.

It was a pale green ointment, emanating a pleasant herbal fragrance. His fingers, long and slender like jade, gently scooped a bit of ointment, leaning down to apply it to the female’s skin, spreading it softly with care.

This ointment not only had healing properties but also made the skin more delicate, enhancing elasticity, considered a rare beauty product that many aristocratic females couldn’t obtain.

Just as Shen Tang was sleeping peacefully, a sudden coolness startled her awake!

Opening her eyes, seeing what this cunning fox was doing, her pretty face flushed with color, nearly kicking him!

”You...” Her voice was unsteady.

Shen Li held her foot, lightly chuckling, ”Behave, don’t fuss, I’m almost done.”

Just a little more.

The most crucial part.

He was doing it for her benefit.

Shen Tang’s face flushed crimson at this cunning fox’s ”thoughtfulness,” unable to scold him.

Soon, her body began to feel a strange sensation.

Shen Tang bit her lip, her earlobes burning, this damned heat period making her sensitive, a mere touch...

Shen Li sensed the change in her aura, his gaze darkening, a hint of dangerous aggression passing through.

Setting down the ointment, he leaned over, propping one hand beside her waist while the other pinned her hands above her head, his long fingers interlacing with her soft fingers, tightly locking.

He gently pecked her neck, his voice low and indistinct, ”...Want to test how effective the ointment is?”

He didn’t give her a chance to refuse.

A guard attempting to report had not yet approached but heard the sounds from the hall, blushing in embarrassment, and quickly departing.

Fu Ying watched as the beastman fled hastily, curiously raising an eyebrow, holding a flower tea, and upon taking a few steps, heard it too.

Startled, she almost dropped the tea cup she was holding.

Fu Ying frantically grasped the cup tightly, sighing inwardly: It’s never-ending!

The entirety of yesterday and night wasn’t quiet, and now it’s starting again!

Your Majesty is truly the Empire’s formidable male beast!

No matter which way, strong and charming!

The lady is strong too!

She guessed correctly indeed~

Fu Ying gleefully turned to leave, reminding the guards outside not to disturb in the absence of major events in the coming days.

Shen Tang had planned to leave early, but the beguiling fox’s charm ”forced” her to stay a few more days.

This matter also gradually spread outside.

Many in the palace privately knew, Your Majesty and that foreign female spent several nights together, not setting foot outside the sleeping chamber doors.

This news even reached the ears of several ministers and nobles.

...

The Southwest Border of the Night Glow Empire was the area closest to the polluted land.

In recent days, an anomaly occurred, with pollution levels rising sharply in the surrounding areas.

Several guards stationed at the border went missing.

The reason remains unfound.

The search teams sent out have not brought back useful information either.

Xiao Jin and Xue Yinzhou, leading an army, arrived at the garrison on the border to examine the situation.

The lieutenant reported, ”So far, the number of missing personnel has exceeded one hundred, the number of missing people increases daily, we have no choice but to request reinforcement from the Imperial City.”

Xiao Jin frowned, speaking solemnly, ”Not a single missing beastman from the army has been recovered?”

”That’s not it, we just retrieved a soldier this morning, but he is seriously injured, and medics are still providing aid.”

Xiao Jin, ”Take us to see him.”

”Yes!”

The deep green tents marked with a red cross symbol were the field hospitals treating the wounded.

Xiao Jin and Xue Yinzhou rushed over, spotting a beastman covered in blood not far away, lying on a stretcher with two or three doctors trying to resuscitate him.

Both of them keenly sensed a dangerous aura, their expressions changing dramatically, there was an S-level pollution source here!

”Move aside, everyone retreat and keep a distance from the wounded!”

Xiao Jin quickly moved over to check the living person’s aura, discovering that his pulse had long since ceased.

Dead?

No... not him!

Xue Yinzhou reacted more swiftly, swiftly forming a black blade in his palm, stabbing toward a doctor in a white coat.
