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

Chapter 925: Chapter 709: Breaking Out of the Shell (Part 2)

Shen Li was too lazy to negotiate further and directly took the most brutal approach, using killing to stop killing.

The surface disturbances were temporarily subdued, but under the incitement of the ”Hand of Creation,” those people acted like madmen, even risking their lives to assassinate Shen Li.

In recent days, Shen Li faced multiple attacks, and even Shen Tang’s side became defenseless, encountering assassination attempts and food poisoning, endlessly.

Even though Shen Tang had the ability to protect herself, she was mentally and physically exhausted, not to mention having to take care of the amnesiac Su Jiu, as there could absolutely be no mishaps.

To be honest, Shen Li didn’t care about the position of Divine Fox Clan Leader at all.

Originally, he only pursued it to achieve his goal, and now that the goal was reached, the position didn’t matter anymore.

However, he absolutely could not let Shen Tang be dragged into danger because of him.

No matter how strong he was, there would still be moments he couldn’t attend to everything.

”Tangtang, you should leave here.” Shen Li suddenly said.

”What about you?” Shen Tang caught his implied meaning.

Her identity was not yet a key focus for the ”Hand of Creation,” but Shen Li had completely broken with them, and the other side would surely pursue him relentlessly.

Shen Li had to divert their attention to ensure her safety.

”Don’t worry about me. I have ways to protect myself. Just need to ask you one thing...” Shen Li stroked her hair, glanced at Su Jiu on the bed, and whispered near her ear, ”Make a puppet for me of a mother figure, and take her with you.”

Though Shen Tang was worried, she understood that separating was the best choice at the moment.

This way, they could protect both of them, and Shen Li acting alone would be less vulnerable.

For a male, his birth mother and beloved are his greatest vulnerabilities; capturing either would put him in a hopeless situation.

They absolutely couldn’t stay by his side.

”Okay, I’ll take mother and leave. Be careful of everything.”

Shen Tang held back her pang in her heart and gently kissed him on the lips.

Shen Li wrapped his arms around her waist, savoring this final moment of tenderness.

”When the time comes, I’ll find you.” He said softly, his gaze directed toward somewhere, almost like talking to himself, ”...Only then can I be at ease.”

Shen Tang didn’t understand his words but didn’t pay attention either; she quickly crafted a puppet.

To confuse the enemy longer, she asked Su Jiu to extract a drop of heart blood and inject it into the puppet, making the puppet indistinguishable from a real person in appearance and aura.

As for Su Jiu, Shen Tang first used superpower to put her into a deep sleep, facilitating healing and allowing her to be stored in space.

After Shen Li left with the fake puppet first, Shen Tang headed off in the opposite direction.

Along the way, she encountered several attacks, but they weren’t the main forces, so handling them was relatively easy.

Finally, she reached an isolated, uninhabited valley.

This place looked relatively safe; after many days of fleeing, Shen Tang decided to rest here for the night.

She found a hidden cave, free of wild beasts, cleaned it up and prepared to spend the night.

Shen Tang took out the snake egg from space.

After all these days, the snake egg remained motionless.

She sighed softly and continued her mission to hatch the egg.

”Whoosh—”

An attack suddenly came flying.

Shen Tang swiftly dodged, angrily glaring at the unwelcome guests at the cave entrance; it was those pursuers again.

They were like maggots, impossible to shake off.

”The female is here! Catch her quickly!”

The Beastmen shouted excitedly, launching a fierce attack immediately.

Shen Tang engaged in a skirmish with them.

She was now at the Peak of Primordial Beast Tier strength, these Beastmen were not her match. But overwhelmed by numbers, surrounded by over a hundred formidable Beastmen, she felt the pressure.

She wasn’t interested in fighting and planned to escape but suddenly saw the snake egg lying not far away.

Oh no, she forgot to retrieve it!

Her heart tightened as she rushed toward the snake egg.

A Beastman noticed her intent and shot an attack directly at the snake egg!

Bam!

The snake egg was hit and flew away, crashing heavily against the rock wall.

Shen Tang’s soul nearly flew away in fear.

She turned angrily toward the Beastman who attacked, with raging fury, her eyes reddened, quickly slicing through the group.

After clearing the enemies, she rushed to pick up the snake egg, only to find a crack on the eggshell.

What should I do...

Could it be beyond saving?

Her heart was aching almost to the point of tears, but then she noticed the eggshell moved slightly, and next, a tip of a tiny pink-white tail poked through the crack.

Shen Tang’s breath hitched, staring blankly.

Soon, a little snake, only as thick as a finger, slowly crawled out of the egg, instinctively coiling up her palm.

The newborn little snake looked no different from other snake hatchlings, with a pink-white body, scales not yet prominent, so soft like a noodle strand, as if a gentle squeeze would finish it.
