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

Chapter 766: Chapter 633: Want to Kiss Her (3)

He also didn’t have experience in flirting with females, and when alone with her, he felt somewhat uneasy.

Damn it, he, the dignified Young Master of the Moon Clan, had seen countless females, so why couldn’t he speak at a time like this?

Shen Tang originally thought Yue Lin had official business to discuss with her, but here he was, standing without speaking, his expression slightly unnatural, which made her a bit puzzled.

The air was quiet for a few seconds, creating an indescribable awkwardness.

It was Shen Tang who pulled over a chair, breaking the silence, ”Captain, please sit down. Did you want to discuss something else with me tonight?”

Yue Lin looked at her for a while before asking in a low voice, ”Why did you go to the S-class restricted area at that time?”

On the way, he had thought about it for a long time but couldn’t figure it out.

Shen Tang’s strength indeed exceeded his expectations; she was not a frail female, but her abilities were not outstanding either. Going alone to the S-class restricted area was far too risky.

Without a firm enough reason, it was hard for him to understand why she wanted to go to such a dangerous place.

Shen Tang said, ”To earn points.”

”Earn points?” Yue Lin was somewhat surprised, as if he hadn’t expected such a simple reason.

Even civilian females needed points to improve their lives, but compared to males, they actually had an easier path.

Especially for a young and beautiful female like her; instead of risking her life to earn points, she could easily form a contract with a powerful male or meet nobles through her looks to achieve social mobility.

Yue Lin didn’t want to dismiss her efforts or say anything offensive; he just felt that the Xun Fu in front of him was so different and appreciated her even more.

”Besides earning points, do you have any other plans for the future?” Yue Lin asked again.

Shen Tang nodded, ”I want to find someone.”

”A relative, or a friend? If you need help, I can assist.”

”Thank you, Captain~” Shen Tang showed a grateful smile, but Yue Lin vaguely sensed that the female didn’t seem as happy as she appeared, as if shrouded in a faint sense of loss and sorrow.

When did it start?

He recalled it seemed to start after returning from the abyss, where she often appeared lost in thought, as if pondering something sad.

Yue Lin assumed she was just scared, and, pursing his lips slightly, clumsily comforted her, ”Don’t be afraid. In the future, I’ll protect you and won’t let you encounter such danger again.”

Shen Tang felt a slight stir in her heart, staring blankly at the handsome young Wolf Clan member in front of her, so similar to the one in her memory, and yet so different.

And the man she saw at the bottom of the cliff, what about Xiao Jin?

Shen Tang admitted she was still too emotional.

Or rather, when a deceased loved one suddenly appears alive in front of you, it’s hard for anyone to maintain their composure.

She couldn’t remain as calm as when she first met Yue Lin.

At that moment, she almost lost the ability to think, rushing towards him like a moth to a flame, just wanting to embrace him once more, even if it might only be a mere illusion.

Now slowly calming down, she’s beginning to ponder more mysteries.

Even if the resemblance between Yue Lin and Yun Han was merely coincidence, a second similar incident cannot be explained away so easily.

Moreover, Shen Tang had witnessed Xiao Jin’s body self-destruct, leaving only one crystal core taken by the laboratory.

She’s still unclear whether the lab and the System are connected, but the System can revive even her, so theoretically, it might be possible to reconstruct Xiao Jin’s body.

And the laboratory can even alter memories and change one’s nature.

The person she met in the abyss, could he be the revived Xiao Jin?

Or perhaps, not?

Shen Tang’s thoughts were chaotic, her chest tightening, making it a bit hard to breathe.

Yue Lin, after all, had a complete growth background available for checking, allowing her to form judgments, but the man beneath the abyss obviously didn’t.

Seeing Xun Fu focus her gaze on him, Yue Lin couldn’t help but feel breathless, his heartbeat accelerating, as a numbing sensation spread throughout his body.

They were very close, and Yue Lin could smell the fragrance from her bath, along with that faint, elusive scent that stirred his heart and muddled his thoughts.

Looking down at her alluring crimson lips, his Adam’s apple moved.

His mouth felt dry and parched.

At that moment, he felt an impulse to kiss her.

The man slightly leaned forward, approaching her lips.

But Shen Tang suddenly stepped back, avoiding him.

The momentary silence was broken.

”...Captain?” Shen Tang looked at him somewhat awkwardly, her fair cheeks slightly blushing, seemingly finding the proximity too intimate and feeling a bit uncomfortable.

Yue Lin also seemed to wake up abruptly, stepping back to widen the distance, his face flushed, hastily changing the topic, ”By the way, I actually came tonight to ask if you saw anything strange in the abyss?”

Shen Tang recalled, ”Is the captain referring to the legendary monster sealed in the Death Abyss?”

”Yes, we’re here this time to investigate the true face of that monster.”

Shen Tang pondered for a moment, uncertain whether to tell Yue Lin about Xiao Jin, but now it seemed Yue Lin was just and reliable, and she urgently needed to know Xiao Jin’s whereabouts.

As the Young Master of the Moon Wolf Clan, perhaps he could get the information more quickly.

So she didn’t conceal, ”I did see that ’monster,’ but he wasn’t the legendary demon nor a mutant species; he was a living Beastman.”

Yue Lin’s face changed drastically, forgetting about those romantic feelings, he asked sharply, ”Continue, did you see which race he belongs to? Any characteristics?”

Shen Tang pretended to recall with difficulty, timely showing a hint of fear, ”If I wasn’t mistaken... it should be a Black Panther Beastman! His superpower is extremely strong lightning, seemingly entwined with dark golden patterns, and his eyes were also golden...”

Yue Lin’s expression became even more serious, muttering to himself, ”So the rumors are true...”

”Captain, do you know his identity?”

Yue Lin nodded, ”Yes, if I’m not wrong, he’s called ’Jin’.”

”The mysteriously missing Young Master of the Hunting Leopard Clan, Shou Jin.”

Upon hearing this name, Shen Tang’s heart trembled intensely, but she tried hard to remain calm, not revealing her emotions.

Yue Lin continued, ”Actually, I personally led the team this time to investigate a secret.”

Shen Tang hadn’t had time to ask before suddenly hearing a knock on the door outside, ”Captain, Xun Fu, are you in?”

The one coming was another Beastman from the team, awkwardly speaking, ”Um, I didn’t mean to interrupt! I heard from Yin Luo that the captain was here, and I have something urgent to report.”

Yue Lin looked at Shen Tang, ”Then you take a rest, I’m leaving.”

”Alright, Captain, take care.”

Shen Tang was curious about the urgent matter, seen Yue Lin walked away, then secretly opened the system map to eavesdrop on their conversation,

The monster in the S-class restricted area had escaped, with the Hunting Leopard Clan sending numerous experts for capture.

Yue Lin and his team were already there because of this, not possible to remain idle, deciding immediately to support.

Upon hearing, Shen Tang immediately decided to follow.

Yue Lin couldn’t argue with her, so he took her along.
