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

Chapter 545: Chapter 515: His Little Sun

By midday, the first snow gradually stopped.

The overcast sky finally cleared up, cloudless for miles, and the warm sunshine poured into the bedroom through the window, waking up the figure sleeping soundly on the bed.

Shen Tang rubbed her sleepy eyes and awoke from her dreams.

She was lying on the large bed in the Jia Lan’s bedroom, surrounded by thin curtains as light as cicada wings, wearing a new nightgown with no discomfort.

Jia Lan had water ability, making everything convenient.

Thinking about last night’s events, Shen Tang’s cheeks flushed with a hint of red.

What’s with the cat eating fish...

Obviously, the fish ate her!

”Tangtang, good morning.”

Jia Lan woke up upon hearing the commotion, his arm still draped around her waist, instinctively tightening, pulling the female more closely into his embrace, and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

Shen Tang’s hands passed through his arms, hugging his waist and back, responding to this overly sweet morning kiss.

Jia Lan gazed at the female in his arms, his fingertips gently arranging her somewhat disheveled hair, his blue eyes filled with infinite tenderness and joy, yet not even a tenth of the warmth in his heart.

”Tangtang,” he pressed against her forehead, deeply affectionate and lingering, ”my little sun.”

Being close to her felt warm, like being in a beautiful dream he wished never to wake from.

[Congratulations to the host, Jia Lan’s affinity +10!]

Shen Tang also felt as sweet as if she had tasted honey.

The two indulged on the bed for a while, but when Jia Lan’s assault resumed, a knock on the door interrupted him, ”Female Master, it’s getting late, it’s time to get up for a meal.”

It was Lu Xiao.

Jia Lan glanced unhappily at the door but still released Shen Tang, kissed her cheek, and helped her tidy up her slightly messy lapels.

The two then went out for a meal.

Lu Xiao had prepared a sumptuous lunch.

After the meal, he handed over a document with a meaningful tone, ”Good news, the rebel army has officially declared a withdrawal.”

”Leader Necro has announced to the world, never to violate the border again. This is the specific agreement our envoys signed with them.”

Shen Tang’s heart skipped a beat, lowering her head to look at the agreement in her hand, feeling a tinge of unexplainable complexity.

Fortunately, the ending was good, and perhaps... all’s well that ends well.

The frontline soldiers were also astonished upon hearing this news, having prepared to defend the country to the death and intending to fight the fierce rebel army to the end, unexpectedly they had completely withdrawn!

This was truly an unexpected good thing!

[Host, would you like to use the Destiny Scissors to sever ties with Necro completely?] The system reminded.

Shen Tang was surprised, ”Can I still use the Destiny Scissors?”

[Yes, host, the Destiny Scissors have no specific usage limit, but each use will consume durability. The deeper the severed ties, the more durability is consumed.]

The system explained, [Last time the host severed the blood relations with Shen Qingli, consuming 50% of the scissors’ durability.]

Shen Tang pondered, [Then let’s sever it.]

This farce should end.

Theirs was initially a misunderstanding caused by fate, and now with the situation stable, this undeserved ill-fated relationship should return to normal.

Using the Destiny Scissors to sever the connection is equivalent to clearing the residual effects of the love-at-first-sight potion. Even if Necro sees the real her in the future, he won’t feel any romantic attraction.

[Congratulations to the host, successfully severed ties with Necro! Durability consumed 10%, remaining 40%!]

Meanwhile, the rebel army had completely withdrawn from the Imperial Border and returned to their base.

Necro returned to the palace, gazing at the empty hall, his heart flooded with unprecedented loneliness.

He walked slowly, his fingertips brushing over tables, chairs, and beds, as if he could still feel the warmth left by the female, recalling her joys, sorrows, and anger.

Remembering her sweet smile, shy demeanor, tearful appearance, angry expression...

Suddenly, Necro heard a soft ”click” sound in the air—a sound so faint it seemed imaginary, more like it resounded in his mind.

Immediately, his towering figure shook, his dazed eyes gradually becoming sharp and profound, incomparably clear.

He held his aching forehead, as if awakening from a deep dream.

Staring blankly into the air ahead, just feeling like he hadn’t been himself these days, but at this moment, finally returned to normal.

Yet his heart felt empty, somehow emptier.

...

Although the rebel army had withdrawn, the empire’s situation remained grim, with pollution from major empires continuing to expand, even the pristine Sea Country was not spared!

The name ”New” Atlantis was appended precisely because when pollution initially spread, Sea Country was the first area affected.

The speed at which pollution spread in the ocean was incredibly rapid, truly terrifying.

At the time, Atlantis, in charge of the sea area, fell into immense chaos, both combating external pollution-mutated creatures and quelling internal faction disputes, left it overwhelmed.

Ultimately, the then Emperor of Atlantis completely abandoned the contaminated ”Forgotten Sea” area, united with the Sea Race High Priest to seal it, and then divided part of the territory among internal factions to establish the current New Atlantis map.

For hundreds of years, under the protection of successive High Priests and the efforts of Sea Country citizens, New Atlantis remained peaceful. But unexpectedly, pollution spread again, aggressively and nearly unstoppable!

When Jia Lan received the news, his face looked extremely bad.

New Atlantis and Night Glow Empire were close allies, even without personal relations involved, Shen Tang sincerely felt anxious, ”Could even the Divine Hall of Priests not stop the spread of pollution?”

Jia Lan shook his head, ”I haven’t returned for too long and don’t know the current situation of Sea Country...”

He looked at Shen Tang, resolute, ”Tangtang, I want to go back!”

Shen Tang embraced his waist, raised her head, and kissed his chin, ”Go back! No matter what, I and Night Glow Empire will be your backup!”

She also took out three fortress cores from the space, ”Place these on the city walls; they can somewhat block pollution erosion, prevent mutant species from invading the city, and protect the citizens’ safety... These are the last three left, you should take them back and give them to Your Majesty Jialouluo.”

Jia Lan was overwhelmingly moved, accepting the cores and gratefully kissing her, ”Thank you, Tangtang!”

”The Sea Country is not only an ally of the Empire, but your homeland, my home, it’s what I should do.”

Jia Lan had countless words he wanted to tell her, but the situation was urgent, so he hurried back to Sea Country overnight carrying the items.

Shen Tang was also incredibly busy these days.

The situation in Night Glow Empire was similarly severe, although barely controlling the spread of pollution, the border had erupted with numerous mutant beast tides, including problematic high-level mutant beasts, and even three tenth-rank mutant beasts appeared.

Shen Tang had no choice but to dispatch Xiao Jin with elite generals to guard and clear the border.

And Shen Tang herself also faced an assassination attempt, still from that mysterious group of black-clad individuals, their power entirely at the tenth rank.

Fortunately, she was now powerful and had the Xue Yinzhou to guard her, ultimately experiencing thrills without real danger.

Shen Tang knew she was being targeted; they aimed to kill her, destroy her system, and wouldn’t stop until accomplished.

Xue Yinzhou also sensed something, speaking seriously, ”Tangtang, didn’t you leave alive one assassin last time you were attacked in the rebel territory? That assassin’s currently imprisoned in the empire’s dungeon; do you want to interrogate him yourself?”

Shen Tang didn’t expect Xue Yinzhou had brought back that Beastman, thinking he was killed long ago after she fell unconscious.

Her gaze turned cold, ”Take me to him, I have a lot to ask!”
