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

Chapter 935: Chapter 714: Reunion with Lu Xiao (Part 2)

Upon hearing this, the man’s slightly furrowed brow finally relaxed, and his hand gripping the armrest also slightly loosened.

If one were to look closely, they would notice several varying-depth fingerprints left on the armrest.

He only said a faint ”good,” which didn’t reveal much emotion, yet seemed to contain too much emotion.

Baron couldn’t quite understand the master’s mood, but whatever the master instructed him to do, he would do.

After escorting the lady safely away, he felt he had fulfilled his duty!

Just as he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, someone suddenly rushed in from outside:

”It’s bad, my lord! The second, in command has invited you to tonight’s living banquet, he says they’ve caught a female outside the city to present to you!”

Baron was stunned, suddenly realizing, ”Caught a female? Where was she caught? Could it be...”

The beastman delivering the message was also Lu Xiao’s trusted aide, once having carried out missions alongside Baron.

He fearfully glanced at the abruptly cold and stern master above and swallowed nervously, trembling as he said, ”It’s... it’s the female we investigated secretly some time ago. Shortly after she left the city, she was taken by the second, in command’s people...”

”The second in command has sent word that if you want this female, you must personally attend the banquet tonight.”

Bang!

The man suddenly exerted force, shattering the armrest in one grasp.

The usually indifferent face seemed to be brewing a storm, with a flash of icy killing intent in his eyes.

The beastman delivering the message was terrified, trembling as he knelt on the ground, filled with fear, ”My lord, calm your anger!”

Baron was shocked, deeply regretting his carelessness.

If only he had escorted the lady a bit further, this unexpected incident might not have happened.

Yet he remembered that the lady was quite strong, how could she be easily captured by the second in command’s people?

Damn it, truly neglectful!

The second in command, bald-headed Sok, was a typical smiling tiger, appeasing on the surface while stabbing in the back. His subordinates were similarly involved in lowly activities, bullying the weak and conspiring together.

Baron also greatly disliked Sok, remembering how he was nearly framed to death by Sok’s envious subordinates when he first joined the military camp.

Fortunately, the master saved him at that time, and since then, Baron had followed the master wholeheartedly.

Moreover, this was clearly a Hongmen Banquet; the master absolutely must not go!

If caught with evidence, everything would be over.

Baron hurriedly volunteered, ”My lord, let me go tonight! Even if I must risk my life, I will certainly bring the lady back safely!”

Lu Xiao said nothing, directly rising and walking outside.

When Baron and the others saw this, they quickly followed.

Upon exiting the palace, the surrounding beastmen all saw the third in command emanating a terrifyingly cold aura, as if he was about to kill someone.

They had been by his side for a while, but had never seen the third in command, usually expressionless, show such a frightening demeanor!

...

Elsewhere, Shen Tang was brought blindfolded to a magnificently decorated hall.

The tables were already set with exquisite delicacies and fine wines.

There were about dozens of guests, both male and female, from the Feather Clan and other Beast Clans.

The only common trait was that they all seemed to hold prestigious positions, dressed lavishly, yet their faces were filled with arrogant and depraved expressions, full of superiority as if others were mere insignificant ants in their eyes.

The middle-aged man seated in the high position was the second, in command Sok.

He glanced around, clapped his hands with a smile, ”Everyone’s here, right? Time to serve the main course.”

Following his words, several beastmen carried out several platters covered with white cloth, placing them on the round table in the center of the hall.

When the cloth was uncovered, it revealed living beastmen!

These beastmen, without exception, were very young and beautiful, both female and male, some seemingly only in their teens, still showing traces of youthful innocence.

Bound and placed on the dining table, their faces were etched with fear, their tears long dried up, but their mouths were tightly gagged, only able to make muffled sounds, their hands and feet bound tightly, unable to struggle, merely becoming ”dishes” for the entertainment of this group of elites.

This was undoubtedly a cruel human body banquet!

Shen Tang, although blindfolded, ”saw” this scene using spiritual power, immediately feeling a chilling trembling, her skin breaking out in goosebumps.

This was simply a group of perverts! Lunatics! Demons!

As the second in command saw Shen Tang brought in, a gleam of excitement flashed in his eyes, ”Almost forgot, there’s a newly-captured beauty! People, bring this beauty to the table too!”

The few beastmen received the order, just about to act when fierce commotion erupted outside.

”The third in command is here!”

Guards at the entrance became frantic, hurriedly retreating.

In the crowd, a tall and upright figure steadily approached.

His posture was like a sword, face deep and impassive, emanating a strong and domineering aura, inducing fear and submission with just a glance, no one daring not to retreat.

The second in command’s eyes flickered with malice upon Lu Xiao’s appearance, quickly replaced by a hypocritical smile.

He remained seated, not rising, saying with a chuckle, ”Old third, I’ve awaited you for so long, finally you’re here, second brother has prepared a special gift for you tonight!”

Then, he gestured grandly towards the bound beauties on the table:

”Take a look, is there anyone you fancy? Female, male, seductive, docile... second brother has it all, pick as you wish!”

Lu Xiao, however, didn’t even glance, proceeding directly towards the table.

This disregardful attitude instantly chilled the second in command’s expression.

As he saw Lu Xiao heading directly towards the recently captured Foreign Clan female, his face couldn’t help but reveal a cold smugness, deliberately raising his voice:

”So old third, you prefer this! Those who can’t judge, quickly strip this beauty clean, wash her with the best wine, and present her to the third in command!”

The burly bear beastman was about to act.

Lu Xiao took a bold stride forward, swung a wine bottle from the table casually, and with a bang, smashed it directly onto the beastman’s head! Wine and glass shards scattered everywhere.

”Ah!” The beastman only managed to let out a scream before collapsing to the ground, head busted and bleeding.
