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

Chapter 898: Chapter 700: ”I Remember Now” (Part 2)

He watched helplessly as Shen Tang gradually grew weaker, unable to lend a hand.

Pain and a sense of powerlessness overwhelmed him. The more anxious and struggling he became, the more it hurt.

His mind seemed ready to explode with discomfort, as if something was subtly awakening.

Suddenly, after a wave of tearing pain, there was a faint cracking sound in his mind.

Immediately following, a tsunami of memories flooded in, sweeping away those altered false recollections, and revealing the true emotions and memories.

Xue Yinzhou remembered many things—memories sealed before his childhood escape, the experience of being freed from a slave market, meeting and falling in love with Shen Tang, and everything that followed.

He remembered it all.

Surging memories, forgotten emotions, and obsessions poured into his mind in waves. So much flooded in that even his head pounded painfully, he emitted a painful groan, his body trembled uncontrollably.

Nevertheless, he offered no resistance, allowing these memories and emotions to engulf him.

...

Xue Yinzhou also recalled his true origins.

The current Ghost Snake Clan leader was not his so-called father but his uncle, the one who killed his father.

He was the orphan of the previous Ghost Snake Clan leader, Xue Cenji.

When Xue Yinzhou was newly born and still young, a coup occurred within the clan.

The Clan Leader’s wife, his biological mother Yu Mei, conspired with the current Ghost Snake Clan leader, Xue Xiaoyuan, to launch a coup while Xue Cenji was weakened in seclusion, intending to kill him.

The Ghost Snake Clan has always been cold and emotionless. The stronger and more gifted the beastman, the more indifferent their emotions. Many female Snake Clan members have no feelings for their partners, viewing them only as tools for breeding superior offspring, consolidating their status, and acquiring financial power.

His Beast Mother was a beautifully powerful noble female with great talent, eligible to partner with the strongest clan leader of that era.

But before partnering with Xue Cenji, she had several husband-servants, with her favorite male beast being the scheming Xue Xiaoyuan.

Compared to the powerful, aloof, and distant Xue Cenji, Yu Mei preferred the one who pleased her—Xue Xiaoyuan.

She was already pregnant with Xue Xiaoyuan’s child, but the clan forced her to marry the contemporary Ghost Snake Clan leader.

Yu Mei naturally wanted Xue Xiaoyuan to rise to power, but his talent was inferior to his brother Xue Cenji, who ultimately secured the position of clan leader.

Perhaps Yu Mei was also swayed by the charming and powerful clan leader, or perhaps for the sake of power and status, she agreed to marry Xue Cenji.

She dismissed all husband-servants, secretly gave birth to a child, and handed it to Xue Xiaoyuan.

After the marriage, within a few years, they bore a child known as Xue Yinzhou.

Yet secretly, Yu Mei maintained a clandestine connection with Xue Xiaoyuan.

All this Xue Cenji might have known, but he didn’t care and never concerned himself.

Practicing the Bone of Devouring only made Xue Cenji more apathetic, solely pursuing power, unconcerned with other emotions.

Eventually, Yu Mei, perhaps fed up with Xue Cenji’s indifference or for other reasons, ultimately poisoned his food under Xue Xiaoyuan’s incitement.

Seizing the moment when his strength waned, Yu Mei joined forces with Xue Xiaoyuan to launch a coup, overthrow the palace, and murder Xue Cenji, aiming to seize his Ghost Snake Bone.

Xue Cenji was betrayed by those around him, destined for demise.

Just before his death, he personally ended the life of his longtime companion beside him, and attempted to kill his treacherous brother.

But alas, Xue Cenji was at his limit; even when he sought to self-destruct and take Xue Xiaoyuan down with him, he failed.

Perhaps when discovering he was poisoned, Xue Cenji foresaw the outcome. He immediately summoned a loyal subordinate.

An Old Beastman who had cared for him since childhood and whom he trusted most.

Xue Cenji entrusted the young Xue Yinzhou to the Old Beastman, instructing him to take the child away, as far as possible, ensuring the clan couldn’t find him.

Using his final strength, he sealed Xue Yinzhou’s childhood memories.

He only wished for the child to never know his origins.

If he could survive, he would live as an ordinary Snake Beast and never touch the Bone of Devouring, leading a safe and ordinary life.

The Old Beastman, tearfully, accepted the family head’s last command and fled the clan with the young master in tow.

Along the way, they encountered countless attempts on their lives until a turning point emerged just as the Old Beastman was close to his limit.

The master-servant duo encountered Beastmen of the Hand of Creation and accidentally discovered that they were secretly opening a passage that seemed to lead to another world.

By a fortunate coincidence, the Old Beastman took the Little Snake and blended in, traveling through the passage to the Beast World Continent.
