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

Chapter 901: Chapter 701: Jealousy (Part 2)

The result made her heart sink straight down.

Xue Yinzhou’s memory had returned, his health was improving, and the tree-like network within his body had been cleansed by the Devouring Power. But— that Tumor Gu was still there, it hadn’t vanished!

The System explained, [This thing has taken root too deeply within Xue Yansi’s body, almost entrenched. Even his current Devouring Power cannot completely eliminate it.]

Shen Tang’s mood sank to rock bottom. Even the Devouring Power, which is said to ”devour everything,” couldn’t remove this damn thing, what should she do?

But she didn’t want Xue Yinzhou to sense her anxiety, she had to tell herself that it’s at least better than at the beginning.

The network around the Tumor Gu had been cleared out, she could use her power to temporarily seal it.

Of course, this was just a stopgap measure. The Tumor Gu would continue to grow slowly, she needed to find a way to eradicate it.

”Let’s return to the Divine Fox Clan first.”

Shen Tang said to Xue Yinzhou. As one of the most prosperous clans among the Ancient Clan, with a long history, there were many ancient texts in the Book Collection Pavilion; perhaps they could find a solution there.

”Alright.” Xue Yinzhou had no objections. He felt no sense of belonging to any place; wherever she was, that’s where he would be.

Thus, Shen Tang took Xue Yinzhou back to the Royal City of the Divine Fox Clan.

Half a month had passed since she left.

During this half month, to avoid suspicion in the palace, she had set up a puppet in advance to handle routine tasks.

Fortunately, she usually just ate and drank in the palace, occasionally chatting with palace members, so the puppet managed to cope.

In the eyes of the Beastmen in the palace, the lady had only gone out once, and when she returned, she brought back a tall, handsome stranger.

The palace was instantly in uproar!

Everyone stretched their necks to look, all surprised by the man’s clear and outstanding appearance, as well as the profound aura around him, which instinctively made them feel afraid, not daring to look directly and stepping back several paces.

But the private discussions did not stop,

”Oh my gosh, who is this? How did he come with the lady?”

”I seem to have seen him somewhere... isn’t he the newly recognized Young Master of the Ghost Snake Clan?”

”Now that you mention it, I remember too! He’s the mysterious Young Master of the Ghost Snake Clan.”

”Later, I heard he was chased, but then returned to the clan; we don’t know what happened recently, but how did he end up with the lady?”

The white fox youth watched from a distance, biting his lip, said somewhat sourly, ”Perhaps he’s a friend the lady met outside? Or there’s some difficulty so she brought him back... he seems to be unwell.”

Someone saw through his little thoughts, ”Fool, the two of them are so intimate, does their relationship need guessing?”

”Certainly lovers!”

A similarly aged male teased, ”With a heavenly person like the lady, she’d only be with the most powerful male, don’t overthink it, it’ll just add to the trouble.”

A female whispered excitedly, ”I didn’t expect the lady to not only win our Clan Leader’s heart but also be involved with the Young Master of the Ghost Snake Clan, that’s really impressive, truly enviable.”

Another older female laughed, ”Of course, it’s the lady’s charm that wins the hearts of such excellent males.”

There were also people worried, ”The lady just brought her lover back to the palace, what will happen when the Clan Leader returns?”

”Do you think they’ll fight?”

”Oh dear, the Clan Leader and this Young Master are both so handsome, who knows who is more powerful.”

”If I were the lady, no matter who gets hurt, I’d feel heartache.”

”Shoo, is this something you should worry about?” someone laughed and scolded.

Everyone was joking, but deep down they were somewhat concerned that the Clan Leader might fight upon his return.

After all, the stronger the male, the stronger the possessiveness, the less willing to share a partner with others.

Especially a Clan Leader; they’re usually the top strongmen, often monogamous and seldom tolerant of others around their partner.

No one knew if the Clan Leader would be angry upon his return...

Sigh, the lady just committed a mistake all females under heaven would make; the Clan Leader would surely forgive her!

Shen Tang naturally heard the servants’ whispers, pressing her forehead helplessly.

Originally, she and Xue Yinzhou lived incognito in the Two-city, not wanting to draw much attention. But now, to research the Book Collection Pavilion, she had no choice but to bring him back.

She was also too lazy to deal with the outside gossip, spending all day in the Book Collection Pavilion, focusing solely on finding a solution to deal with the Tumor Gu.

Shen Tang had stayed with the Divine Fox Clan for a while, studied some ancient languages, but her understanding was shallow; she had to learn and translate simultaneously, sometimes even asking the clan’s old scholars for help, progress was slow.
