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

Chapter 604: Chapter 550: Doubts

A sudden, unsettling red light flashed in Necro’s eyes!

North shivered with fright, swallowed hard, and hastily explained, ”But, but this is ultimately just hearsay... it’s from a very few mouths, and there’s no solid evidence yet. No one knows if this rumor is true or false.”

”However, according to my subordinates’ conjecture, there are no groundless rumors in this world. This matter is likely true... it’s just that we haven’t found any relevant images yet.”

Over the past six months, Necro had sent people to search for information about the ”Black and White Cat Clan” more than once. He hardly ever paid such attention to anything, but this ”Black and White Cat” repeatedly stirred his nerves.

Necro quickly calmed his mood, closed his eyes, leaned back on the sofa, and tapped the armrest unconsciously with his fingers.

Why... did he feel a trace of Xiao Cui Hua’s aura on the Monarch of the Night Glow Empire?

He suddenly thought, could they be blood-related sisters?

No wonder she cares so much about the empire’s survival.

But Necro had already sent people to investigate in secret and had never heard of such a princess in the Royal Family, not even in the distant collateral lines.

Or could it just be a coincidence?

A deep shadow passed through Necro’s eyes.

In life, Xiao Cui Hua valued her friends and family most, and her dying wish was for the empire’s peace, unwilling for her family and friends to die in the flames of war.

Unfortunately, after she passed away, Necro specifically sent people to investigate her family and old friends, wanting to retrieve traces she left in life, but found nothing.

He realized that he knew too little about her.

But for some reason, Necro had an intuition in the dark—that this Empress of the Night Glow Empire must have some connection to Xiao Cui Hua.

Some questions can only be understood by seeing for oneself.

It seems, he has to find an opportunity to personally meet that Monarch.

...

At this moment, Shen Tang didn’t know she had been thought of by someone. She sneezed with an ”Ah Qiu—” almost spilling the large basin of fertilizer she was holding.

She hastily held the metal basin tight, can’t let it burn the seedlings.

Casually grabbing a handful of fertilizer, she scattered it beside the roots of the Purification Tree Seedlings.

Relying solely on Fu Teng to stimulate the seedling growth was unknown how many years it would take, let alone that the Purification Tree seedlings also needed to be exported to other places to manage polluted areas; it can’t all depend on him alone.

Fortunately, the System Mall has now upgraded to the Advanced Mall, with a greater variety and more advanced products, including specially made fertilizer for Purification Tree Seeds.

This fertilizer not only promotes the growth of the tree seeds but also significantly shortens the planting cycle, allowing the Purification Tree to mature within half a year.

Although not as efficient as Fu Teng, it’s quite decent.

The severe winter is long gone; it’s now late spring, early summer.

A few spring rains had fallen consecutively a few days ago, and it only cleared up last evening, but the soil in the fields was still a bit muddy.

The Beastmen carried the fertilizer through the fields, fertilizing the newly planted seedlings in the area.

Shen Tang rolled up her trouser legs, walking back and forth in the dirt, with mud splattered on her calves and her shoe soles heavy and smeared with mud, making each step feel laborious.

Alas, she especially misses Jia Lan at this time—if he were here, he could easily wash it clean with a water ability.

Xiao Jin also transformed into a beast form, gamboled with fertilizer in the field.

This guy clearly used to do a lot of work, carrying the fertilizer bag on his back, poking a small hole at each end, allowing the fertilizer to be evenly distributed into the tree pits along the small openings. Back and forth, he was the fastest.

Xiao Jin saw Shen Tang seemed tired but couldn’t find a suitable place to rest, so he shook off the empty fertilizer bags, ran over, and asked, ”Tangtang, are you tired? Do you want me to take you back to rest?”

Xue Yinzhou coiled on a nearby tree, let out a lazy yawn, and his long snake tail dangled down like a vine, within Shen Tang’s reach.

He said softly, ”Come rest on the tree for a bit.”

Shen Tang shook her head, ”I’m a little afraid of heights, I better not go up!”

Come to think of it, it’s a bit embarrassing, for a Cat Beastman to be afraid of heights, maybe it’s a shadow from before!

Xiao Jin reverted to human form to try to pick her up, but found his hands were all muddy, and ran to the nearby river to wash.

Just then, Lu Xiao flew over, and Shen Tang lay on his back, letting him bring her back to the camp tent.

Back at the tent, Lu Xiao took out clean clothes and shoes from space.

Now that the weather is warm, even if it rains at night, it won’t be too cold. Shen Tang changed into a light dress, swiftly took off her dirty clothes and shoes, and threw them aside.

During this period, they often stayed here for half a month at a time, so everything was kept simple, taking only a few changes of clothes and their usual jerky and condiments.

Once the dirty clothes accumulated for a basinful, Lu Xiao would take them to the nearby river to wash, and on the way back, he also prepared the firewood for cooking at night.

The campfire ignited outside the tent, and when it came time to prepare dinner, Xue Yinzhou and Xiao Jin also returned.

Today it was Xue Yinzhou’s turn to hunt, and he brought back a particularly plump prey, estimated to weigh at least five or six hundred pounds, enough to feed a dozen Beastmen to satisfaction.

With limited conditions in the wild, everyday meals were nothing more than grilled meat and boiled meat soup. The nearby forest had plenty of wild fruits and vegetables, which were not easily greasy whether eaten with grilled meat or cooked into soup.

The sky darkened, and clusters of campfires rose outside the tent. Five or six people sat around, and the aroma of food quickly filled the air, wafting for ten miles.

A wooden rack stood beside the campfire, used to dry the newly washed clothes. Basically, they would dry after a night and could be worn again the next day.

Shen Tang and her Beast Husbands sat around the campfire eating dinner, occasionally bursting into laughter.

Not far away, Luo Fei watched with envy, but unfortunately, whenever he wanted to find a chance to talk, those Beast Husbands guarded fiercely, not giving him even the slightest opportunity.

Especially that Snake Beast, with the family members it’s one thing, but whenever an outsider dared to approach Shen Tang, his cold gaze was like it wanted to strip the other’s skin off.

Luo Fei shivered violently, cradling the freshly picked wild fruits from the bushes as he sat down by the campfire, planning to deliver them after Shen Tang finished eating.

Fu Teng came over, sat down opposite him with a thud, casually picked up a fruit, and directly bit into it without minding the dirt.

Though not as delicious as raw meat, he still quite liked the fruits.

Luo Fei was in a bad mood and wasn’t in the mood to pay him any attention.

Fu Teng finished the fruit in a few bites, lazily saying, ”What, got your eye on my Xiao Gua? I heard you were pursuing her before? What happened then?”

Luo Fei recalled unpleasant memories, his face darkening like the bottom of a pot.

He too picked up a fruit and bit down hard, muttering, ”Am I that ugly? In Black Wind Village, I’m known as the handsome young man for miles around. I initially heard that His Majesty lost a partner and wanted to take the spot, who would have thought that fox was still alive.”

Luo Fei never expected that the ”sickly fox” he initially thought was actually the Emperor of Yiyuan Empire!

Since then, he had calmed down a lot. Although arrogant and overconfident, he still had a sense of self-awareness.

He didn’t think he was bad, but compared to Shen Tang’s other Beast Husbands, he indeed couldn’t match up.

Fu Teng enjoyed watching him eat a loss, smiling and making sarcastic remarks, ”With how you are, still thinking of my Xiao Gua? A toad wanting to eat swan meat, what you should do now is to find a sow and have a litter of fat, healthy piglets.”

Luo Fei was so furious he started a fight with him on the spot!
