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

Chapter 938: Chapter 715: A Long-Awaited Kiss (Part 3)

His blue-gray eyes were as deep as the night, his slender and rough fingers gently brushed past her flushed eyelids and moist red lips, aware that his proud self-control was on the verge of collapse.

He suppressed the surging thoughts and desires, murmuring softly, ”Enough, it’s enough...”

Shen Tang knew now was not the time for lingering love. She lightly caught her breath to calm her emotions, raising her hand to gently caress the man’s handsome face.

”Can you tell me what you’ve experienced these past few months? Why are you in Sky City and even became the Third Boss?”

Lu Xiao did not conceal anything, and truthfully said, ”After we separated initially, I landed near Sky City. At first, I arrived in this unfamiliar world, with no friends or acquaintances, unable to find any news about you.”

”I thought that with a sufficiently strong force, I could mobilize more resources and find you more quickly.”

”I was most worried you were taken to the ’Hand of Creation,’ so at that time, I had no choice but to quickly gather clues and had to disguise my identity to join Sky City.”

”I’m sorry, Tangtang, for finding you so late.”

Lu Xiao looked down deeply at her, continuing to explain, ”Later, when I learned about your whereabouts, you had already gone to the Fox Clan. I knew Shen Li was by your side, and he could protect you well.”

”I guessed you might come this way, so I wanted to establish a foothold here first, so I could help and protect you better in the future. That’s why I didn’t dare to reveal myself recklessly...”

Shen Tang listened in shock, though Lu Xiao only lightly outlined half a year’s experience, but she knew very well how dangerous Sky City was.

It is a place of total chaos, even though Lu Xiao is powerful, there is no shortage of strong individuals here.

To reach the position of Third Boss, he must have gone through many hardships, far from being as easy as he said.

It turns out he did it for her, unable to recognize her, while she was unaware of his painstaking efforts.

”I’m sorry, it’s all my fault... I shouldn’t have recklessly come looking for you, causing you to be exposed and wasting your efforts for so long.” Shen Tang sniffed, and said in a low, guilty voice, ”I just wanted to see you and confirm if it was you...”

Seeing her like this, Lu Xiao was pained beyond measure. How could he allow her to feel guilty because of him?

He gently stroked her cheek and comforted warmly, ”Don’t blame yourself, my identity would eventually have been discovered.”

Shen Tang placed her hand over his broad hand back, lifted her moist eyes to look at him seriously, ”This place is too dangerous. You fell out with the Second Boss to save me, he certainly won’t let you go! You can’t stay here anymore, come with me.”

She tightened her grip on his hand, mourningly said, ”Ah Xiao, I don’t want to be separated from you again.”

Lu Xiao’s Adam’s apple moved violently, almost agreeing.

But ultimately, he suppressed all emotions, shook his head and said hoarsely, ”I’m sorry, Tangtang, I still can’t leave.”

He said softly, ”I must stay here.”

”Why?”

”I’m sorry.” Lu Xiao looked at her, his expression complicated, ”I can’t tell you.”

Shen Tang was dazed and found it hard to believe.

In her heart, Lu Xiao had always been wholehearted to her, never hiding anything. But now, she felt he seemed to be hiding many things, many unspoken secrets.

So much seems to have changed about him over this last half year.

”You really can’t tell me? Why?” Shen Tang asked unwillingly.

Lu Xiao just gently rubbed her hair, ”I’m sorry, Tangtang, I really can’t say.”

Shen Tang’s fingers unconsciously grasped his collar, crumpling the neat neckline slightly.

But ultimately, she let go of his hand and stopped asking.

Since he doesn’t want to say, she won’t force him.

However, she needed to ask one more thing, ”Staying here, can you ensure your safety? Will you... come back?”

”I will come back.” Lu Xiao assured her.

He’s never lied to her.

Shen Tang pursed her lips, suddenly not knowing what to say, eventually just asking, ”...So when can we meet again?”

”Once I finish dealing with things here, I’ll come to find you.” Lu Xiao gazed at her, ”From now on, you shouldn’t come here anymore.”

Shen Tang understood his meaning.

Now Sky City has probably guessed their relationship, she must leave, or she’ll become a living target, striking at Lu Xiao’s weak spot.

Shen Tang wanted to say something else, but behind her came the chaotic sounds of pursuit, the Second Boss was coming with his men.

Lu Xiao’s expression changed, urging her, ”Quickly go!”

”Ah Xiao, I’ll wait for you to come find me!” Shen Tang swiftly embraced him once, broke through space, and left.

Lu Xiao watched the direction she vanished, feeling the remaining warmth in his arms, a faint smile flickered at the corner of his lips.

Goodbye.

His Tangtang.

”Capture that female!”

The group wanted to pursue Shen Tang, but Lu Xiao blocked all the pursuers alone.

The Second Boss Sok glared at him angrily, eyes flashing a hint of satisfied glee, ”Xiao, do you know what you’re doing? Harboring outsiders, blocking us! You’re betraying Sky City!”

When Lu Xiao looked at them again, the tenderness on his face was completely wiped away, leaving only cold indifference, ”That woman is innocent and pitiable, I just let her go, it’s not betrayal.”

”Oh? Then why did you save her alone?” Sok listened to his defense, sneering repeatedly.

Suddenly, he squinted his narrow eyes, the smile not reaching his eyes, only sending a chill down the spine, like being watched by something dirty.

”Xiao, you’re indeed very strange, aren’t you too concerned about this female? Not only personally saving her but repeatedly sending the Personal Guard to protect her... Who is she to you? Could she be your old sweetheart!”

Seeming to have finally caught ahold of Lu Xiao’s weakness, delight on his face grew stronger, even walking closer to him, he lowered his voice threateningly, ”Looks like she’s really important to you, important enough to betray us! Guess what would happen if I told Big Boss about this...”

Lu Xiao’s expression turned cold abruptly, and he grabbed Sok’s throat.

”Ah—what are you doing! Let me go!”

Sok had completely not expected Lu Xiao would take action, his expression changed instantly.

Arrogance replaced by panicked fear, he struggled and shouted.

Sok had been in this position for many years, always looking down on newcomer Xiao, only now realizing Xiao’s strength surpassed him by far, leaving him powerless.

But Lu Xiao didn’t let go, his icy face radiated murderous intent, fingers suddenly tightened—

Crack.

He directly snapped Sok’s neck, discarding the corpse at his feet like trash.
