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

Chapter 489: Chapter 472: The Little Flower Thief!

Shen Tang didn’t really take it to heart; the Little Black Panther’s vigilance was naturally strong, and it didn’t trust anyone. Otherwise, it couldn’t have grown up smoothly in the slums.

She wasn’t as reckless as she was at the beginning; the enthusiasm of deliberately approaching would only make it more averse, so she no longer took the initiative to get close to the Little Black Panther.

However, Shen Tang still observed the Little Black Panther’s movements through the system map and spiritual power. Whenever it was in danger, she secretly lent a helping hand.

Months passed, and the Little Black Panther grew a lot, becoming more powerful. Many older kids weren’t its match, and it became the little tyrant of the slums, undefeated among the kids, occupying a small place as its territory.

The nearby Beastman children didn’t dare to invade.

A daring one had an ear bitten off by it, almost torn to death on the spot!

But soon, it also attracted more discontent from several adult stray Beastmen, who couldn’t tolerate being provoked and having their territory claimed by a little brat. They joined forces to try and kill it!

The Little Black Panther was no match for the adult males. At the brink of life and death, Shen Tang appeared again, saving its life and gently healing its wounds, sending it back home.

When the Little Black Panther woke up under the bridge, it was cleaned, and its wounds were healed. In front of it was a delicious, nutritious breakfast with both vegetables and meat, appetizing in aroma.

Its nose suddenly tingled.

It knew very well who saved it.

Is she a Goddess sent from heaven?

Why... is she so kind to it?

So kind that it developed an attachment and expectations that shouldn’t exist.

But during this period, it deliberately wandered around where she lived, yet rarely encountered her again.

She seemed to be deliberately avoiding it.

Was it because it bit the Divine Sister last time, and she’s sad and hurt?

Sorry.

It’s its fault.

It shouldn’t have bitten her.

...

In the morning, as Shen Tang was about to go out shopping, she unexpectedly found a fresh flower inserted on the door handle.

She, surprised, took the flower in her hand, sniffed it, and could still smell its rich fragrance.

The charming and tender petals were still covered with morning dew as if they were freshly picked this morning.

Who sent her this?

The neighbors next door were a couple with children, but they usually didn’t have much interaction. They probably wouldn’t be so hospitable as to send her flowers, right?

The image of a little figure suddenly flashed through Shen Tang’s mind.

Could it be Xiao Xiao Jin?

[Hehe, the host’s guess is correct, it’s your Little Black Panther. It sneaked over early in the morning with a flower and stuffed it there before running away. It’s definitely here to thank you!]

Holding the flower, Shen Tang squinted into the distance, a gentle smile raised on her lips.

This Little Black Panther is quite cold on the outside but warm on the inside~

Shen Tang thought it really disliked her.

But how does it know she lives here?

Shen Tang recalled that she hadn’t deliberately walked towards the slums lately but had coincidentally met the Little Black Panther several times. She initially thought it was a coincidence, but come to think of it, it normally wouldn’t wander around here. It was likely deliberately looking for her, trying to find out where she lived.

Tsk.

The plotting Little Black Panther!

Since then, Shen Tang received a fresh flower every morning.

There were red roses, white lilies, lilac flowers, lily of the valley, sunflowers... the styles were quite varied. The Little Black Panther probably didn’t even understand what these flowers meant, just picking them because they looked nice to send to her.

However, the quality of these fresh flowers was high, like those sold at high prices in flower shops. Xiao Jin usually struggles to eat properly, so he definitely didn’t buy them from a legitimate flower shop.

Where is this little guy picking these flowers?

A bad suspicion flashed in Shen Tang’s mind.

Could it be... stolen?

Shen Tang suddenly felt that these ”stolen goods” were quite hot! She couldn’t let the Little Black Panther develop a habit of stealing; that would be contrary to reason!

Shen Tang found an opportunity to uncover the truth.

One morning, she deliberately got up very early, went out before dawn, and timed her return.

Outside the suburbs, there was a lush flower field, where the breeze swept through, creating waves across the sea of flowers, with rich floral scents wafting through the air.

Two Beastmen took turns guarding it.

In the early morning, the Beastmen were sleepy and didn’t notice a black shadow sneaking into the flower field.

Xiao Jin carefully selected a fully bloomed blue rose, expertly picked it up, and dashed away, leaving a string of plum blossom prints in the mud.

The Little Black Panther, taking advantage of darkness, triumphantly carried the loot, running towards the residential area.

Behind it came a chaotic pursuit, followed by the florists’ owner cursing loudly,

”You little stinker, finally caught you. Time and again, stealing flowers from my garden, see if I don’t skin you alive!”

”Catch it and kill this flower thief!”

The Little Black Panther, terrified, ran even faster.

The florist owner, with a group of sturdy men, quickly caught up.

In that critical moment, Shen Tang ran out and blocked in front of the Little Black Panther.

She took a precious Crystal Core from her bosom and handed it to the owner, ”Sorry, this is my friend’s child, too naughty. Let me pay you on its behalf, and the rest is compensation.”

The florist owner, seeing the precious High-level Crystal Core, smiled happily. Forget about the few flowers; this Crystal Core was enough to buy half the flower shop!

Originally thinking it was a stray orphan, he didn’t expect it to have an owner. The florist owner, satisfied, didn’t pursue the Little Black Panther’s crime of stealing flowers, and left with his men after taking the money.

Shen Tang breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head to look at the Little Black Panther with its airplane ears, its voice rarely stern, ”Do you realize your mistake?”

The Little Black Panther ran too rushedly, rolled a few times on the way, becoming dirty again. The flower in its mouth also became tattered, with the petals almost falling off, looking ugly.

It sniffled and mumbled, ”I’m sorry.”

Shen Tang squatted down, patted its head, took the flower from its clenched mouth, lowered her head to sniff it lightly, and smiled, ”But still, thank you for the flower. It’s very fragrant.”

The Little Black Panther’s eyes shone looking at her.

Shen Tang flicked its head, ”That’s that, first tell me clearly. How did you think of stealing flowers?”

”I... I didn’t know those flowers had an owner...” The Little Black Panther covered its head, sounding pitiful.

It initially wanted to apologize to her by sending flowers. Early morning, it picked many wildflowers, but on the way, saw a male giving a female very beautiful, large fresh flowers, much prettier than the wildflowers it picked, and wasn’t satisfied.

Thus, it searched for a long time, found a flower field with those really pretty and large fresh flowers.

Without thinking much else, it just wanted to pick some secretly.

Shen Tang couldn’t help but laugh, ”That was someone’s private flower field. It wasn’t bought, but stolen, don’t do that in the future.”

”Mm!” The Little Black Panther nodded seriously, wanting to climb up and lick her. Its body swayed, almost falling again.

Shen Tang quickly comforted it, holding it in her arms, reaching out to gently stroke its wound, ”There there, pain float away~ Sister will blow it, and it won’t hurt.”

Familiar gentle healing power fell like spring wind, and the wounds quickly didn’t hurt anymore. The Little Black Panther snuggled in her arms, comfortably squinting its eyes, enjoying the moment.

Shen Tang held it back home, placing it on the soft couch.

”Thank you for the flowers. I really like them. To show gratitude, sister will treat you to a meal today~” Shen Tang tied an apron and walked into the kitchen.

The Little Black Panther shyly scratched its head with its paw. Clearly, she saved it and paid money for it...

This time, it didn’t plan to run anymore, smelling the aroma from the kitchen, and swallowing hard.

Even if the Divine Sister really wanted its life, it was willing!
