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

Chapter 866: Chapter 676: Gentle and Familiar

In this quiet and remote place, many precious natural herbs grow, tiny green lights gleam in the night, and the air is filled with extremely pure energy.

The babbling of a stream comes from the mountain ravine.

The river water also contains the energy of this land, making it a perfect natural healing ground. This energy can help Beastmen heal wounds and calm their internal raging forces.

The man had already cleared this area to ensure there would be no disturbances from outsiders.

He slowly walked into the water, the icy river soaking his clothes, clinging to his slender, lean body, outlining broad shoulders and a slim waistline.

Even his shirt was soaked, his cold white skin faintly visible, revealing the undulating contours of sensual muscles.

Moonlight sprinkled like a shimmering stream onto the man, his silver hair akin to the pale moonlight, or a handful of snow from the mountain peak. The water’s surface rippled with cold waves, and as the mountain breeze gently brushed by, the silver serpent tail appeared and disappeared beneath the faintly undulating ripples...

He closed his eyes, slowly calming the surging energy within him.

The moonlight, starlit river, and floating clouds all moved slowly.

Just as everything was silent, a rustling sound suddenly came from the grass not far away.

He abruptly opened his deep purple eyes, glaring like a cold flash towards that direction.

...

On the other side, Shen Tang followed the trail here, also sensing the extremely pure natural healing energy, becoming even more certain that the Young Master of the Ghost Snake Clan must have come here to heal!

She followed the scent in the air to the riverbank, only to find silence all around.

Strange.

Where did he go?

She clearly saw him come this way, and the scent ended here.

A fierce attack suddenly came upon her!

Alarm bells rang in Shen Tang’s mind. Relying on her years of combat instincts, she swiftly dodged and instantly formed an ice wall to shield herself.

Yet even so, she was blasted several meters back by the impact, rolling awkwardly across the ground.

Whoosh—

The cold river behind her splashed with the sound of breaking water.

Shen Tang climbed off the ground, almost instinctively turning her head to look, her breath catching abruptly.

In the moonlight, shimmering with a ghostly glow, the man’s slender, lean figure emerged from the water, wet silver hair draping behind him, a few strands winding down his chest.

His appearance was exquisitely beautiful and almost otherworldly, carrying a trace of cold melancholia, like a masterpiece of creation; those long, narrow purple eyes were captivating yet as cold as eternal ice, impossible to melt.

His skin was exceptionally fair, appearing almost sickly pale under the moonlight, with water droplets sliding down his chin, dripping onto the water’s surface, his entire being exuding a dangerous and eerie air, like a water ghost ready to devour anything in its path.

Yet this ”water ghost” was impossibly beautiful.

His voice was also cold and pleasing to the ear,

”Who are you?”

Beneath the water, the serpent tail moved slowly.

He seemed like a cat toying with its prey, slowly approaching the small intruder in his territory, surrounding her.

He looked at her indifferently, with no emotion in his eyes, ”Why are you here?”

He could have killed her with a single move, never expecting her to react so quickly; the ice energy she used earlier was actually of Primordial Beast Level.

But the appearance and aura of this person were so ordinary, it was impossible for her to be a Beastman of the Primordial Beast Tier.

A spy?

Heh.

He wanted to see which clan sent her.

He wasn’t in a hurry to strike again; instead, he became interested in surrounding the prey, ready to slowly interrogate her.

Shen Tang could almost feel the dangerous pressure, her nerves instinctively tense, and cold sweat began to form on her back.

The previous Xue Yinzhou was always obedient in front of her, never losing his temper, so she had never experienced the overwhelming pressure he could exert on others.

Shen Tang swallowed nervously, defending herself, ”I’m just passing by.”

The man let out a cold laugh, swimming closer from the water.

His long, narrow brows lowered, and his purple pupils looked cold and deep in the shadows, especially when he looked straight at someone, an aggressive danger exuding from it.

”No one would come here.”

He raised his hand, black fog surging in his palm, ”Who sent you here?”

Shen Tang felt the icy killing intent, her hairs standing on end.

She retreated a few steps, but had no time to dodge; the black fog instantly transformed into chains, shooting towards her!

The System screamed anxiously,[Host, be careful! Dodge now!]

[Stop probing, just explain to him directly!]

”I’m here for you!” Shen Tang decided not to beat around the bush, blurting out the truth, and simultaneously removing her mask.

Her ink-black hair billowed softly in the wind.

Her figure and features rapidly changed, reverting to her original appearance.

The man’s movements paused slightly.

He knew this person might have disguised her identity, but did not expect her to be a female.

And at the moment when her features became clear to him, his breath caught, his heart seemingly skipping a beat.

The woman had black hair and snowy skin, with exquisitely beautiful features, a pair of moist cat-like eyes, a straight nose, and rosy lips.

Her skin was as white as jade, and the seemingly oversized male clothing on her became loose after she reverted, but it could not hide her alluring figure.

Moonlight poured over her, wrapping her in a layer of poetic, dreamy beauty.

The man gazed dumbfounded at the female before him, his serpent tail ceasing movement, those ordinarily cold purple eyes losing their aggressiveness, replaced by a trace of confusion.

A strange ripple spread in his heart, warm, tight, and tinged with a needle-like, fine pain.

Pain, yet more than just pain.

It felt like a mix of many emotions, even he couldn’t quite explain.

He hadn’t even realized, but his eye corners had already taken on a faint red hue.

In this moment.

The moonlight seemed to freeze, and everything fell silent.

Their gazes met in the air, flowing silently like river water.

Shen Tang looked at the man so close to her, unable to control her emotions anymore, her nose souring, beautiful eyes welling up with tears.

She stepped toward him.

Her voice carried a grievance, choking up,

”Yin Zhou...”

Is it you?

Tell me.

It’s you, right?

As she walked, she couldn’t help but stumble and run towards him.

The man never allowed outsiders to get so close, under normal circumstances, he would have killed them long ago.

Yet at the moment he was about to make a move, the female lunged into his arms, causing a splash of water.

The warm touch from his embrace, unlike the cold body of the Snake Clan, stiffened him, causing him to forget his actions.

A soft scent drifted to his nose.

At that moment, the instinct of his body drowned out reason.

His slender, cold hands lightly fell on the female’s back, embracing her.

When he came to, he realized he had actively hugged this female, a wave of shock and absurdity surging within him.

He abruptly pushed her away, coldly staring at her, his voice chillingly severe,

”Do you know what you’re doing?”

He couldn’t believe it.

Did this daring female know who he was?

She dared to follow him into his domain and even dared to hug him!

He should have killed her immediately, but for some reason, he couldn’t bring himself to do so.

Shen Tang, pushed away, was also taken aback.

She looked at the man with complex emotions in his eyes, anger, confusion, bewilderment, but mostly coldness.

She softly asked, ”Yin Zhou, it’s me.”

The man coldly replied, ”I don’t know you.”

Shen Tang looked at him incredulously, ”...You really don’t recognize me?”
