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

Chapter 1026: Chapter 756: Mating Season (1)

Once everything on this side was stabilized, Shen Tang sent a message to Lu Xiao and Xiao Jin, explaining the current situation and assuring them she was safe with Jia Lan, so they shouldn’t worry.

She also mentioned that she would stay at the Sea Palace for a while and told the two of them to leave first rather than continue waiting.

When Shen Tang said these things, she spoke directly in front of ”Jia Lan,” ensuring he heard every word.

To make him believe more thoroughly, Shen Tang even made a video call with Lu Xiao and Xiao Jin, letting ”Jia Lan” explain personally to them.

After all, Liu Ye had Jia Lan’s memories and imitated him flawlessly. If it weren’t for the system notifying her, even Shen Tang would have been deceived, let alone Xiao Jin and Lu Xiao through the screen.

The two didn’t expect the plan to succeed so quickly, and it seemed easier than anticipated, so they left without suspicion.

The terrifying commotion in the sea area finally subsided, returning to calm and peace.

However, this turmoil was unprecedented in hundreds of years, affecting all races in the sea area.

After news of the Sea Emperor’s severe injury spread, various forces sent people to investigate, dispatching numerous assassins, but they were all dealt with.

Those forces found that the Sea Emperor wasn’t as severely injured as rumored and dared not act rashly.

The internal turbulence within the sea area also quickly settled.

The palace’s defenses were broken by those forces in collusion with internal traitors, and the leading Great General trembled while pleading for pardon, ”I apologize for the delayed rescue, Your Majesty, please punish me!”

The newly appointed Sea Emperor, known for being ruthless, unusually smiled this time, not only sparing them from severe punishment but also sending them to reconstruct the palace directly.

The beastmen were shocked, wondering if the unpredictable Sea Emperor had found a new tormenting method?

But as it turned out, they were overthinking, as the Sea Emperor indeed had no intention of punishment.

Heavens, did the sun rise from the west? Why had Your Majesty suddenly become so gentle, almost like a different person?

If Shen Tang knew their thoughts, she’d surely mock them: Of course, because if you’re putting on a show, you must perform it completely!

In short, the internal and external turmoil of the Sea Clan had come to an end.

All clans were affected to varying degrees, especially the area around the Imperial Palace, which suffered serious damage, prompting a focus on rebuilding.

The Sea Palace was severely damaged. Although it was constructed with the most robust seabed stones and protected by multiple layers, being at the heart of the attack led to the collapse of most of it.

Many palace workers were dispatched to rebuild the Sea Palace.

As for the beauties of the harem, they were naturally dismissed.

But everyone in the palace witnessed an unfamiliar foreign female appearing beside the Sea Emperor.

The female was noble and beautiful, radiating a beauty surpassing even the moon, outmatching all the harem beauties, including the former number one Sea Clan beauty, Fei Luo. Standing by the Emperor’s side, she didn’t lose any allure or shine at all.

Everyone sighed, what a divine couple created by heaven and earth.

The Emperor showered this foreign beauty with exclusive affection.

This caused a flurry of discussions among the palace’s beastmen, as such a situation had never occurred before.

No matter how favored the beauties collected from various clans appeared, they never received such treatment.

Furthermore, when attendants went to serve and overheard their conversations, they sounded so loving and harmonious, almost as if they were already partners.

Of course, no matter how outsiders speculated, they couldn’t grasp the real story.

The immediate priority was to rebuild the Sea Palace; now, most of it had collapsed, and the original chambers were uninhabitable, requiring time for reconstruction.

The Sea Emperor’s chambers were temporarily relocated to another palace building.

Given Shen Tang and ”Jia Lan” were partners, logically and emotionally, they naturally should reside together.

After finishing dinner, they returned to the palace to rest.

The deep-sea technology couldn’t rival that of the land. The palace, though luxurious and more magnificent than any land-based palace, had no electricity or lights. However, the walls and ceilings were embedded with various crystal stones. These crystal minerals seemed exclusive to the deep sea, emitting radiant light even in the darkest depths.

Through the window, flickering lights can be seen, resembling stars hanging in the night sky, which are the deep sea’s unique bioluminescent creatures, looking so beautiful and dreamy.

The attendants had already been dismissed, leaving only the two of them in the space, where the atmosphere was tinged with a unique allure.

After bathing, Shen Tang changed into a bathrobe specially prepared for her by Liu Ye. It’s made of specially woven silk gauze, resembling the legendary Mermaid Gauze, incredibly comfortable, smooth, and soft to the touch. The belt tied at her waist accentuated her graceful, slim figure.

As Shen Tang dried her half-damp, half-dry long hair and stepped out of the bathroom, a gaze followed her like a shadow.

The mermaid youth’s eyes fell upon her, his enchanting blue eyes shimmering with a wave of sparkle, a hint of darkness fleeting across the depths.

Her hair, smooth as clouds, hung behind her, with her body still exuding the freshness of the bath. Her exquisite face blushed like rouge, her charming, clear cat eyes seemingly misted over with water, exuding an inviting charm.

Her features were exquisitely beautiful, with an upturned nose and soft, rosy lips, like a shy spring bud, brimming with ultimate allure.

There was no denying.

She was stunningly beautiful.

So much so that he momentarily lost himself, recalling certain things.

When he came back to his senses, the female had already approached him. Her fair, slender fingers lifted his chin, smiling softly, ”Mmm~ Got entranced?”

The tone playfully curled up like teasing cat claws.

The youth’s Adam’s apple rolled, his face flushed as he said, ”Tangtang is so beautiful... It’s been so long since I last saw you, this feels like a dream.”

Shen Tang chuckled, ”Do you like it?”

The youth nodded definitively, ”I like it.”

Soon, he added lovingly, ”No matter what Tangtang looks like, I will always like her.”

Shen Tang, ha, this deceitful man, really putting on quite a show!

The two gazed at each other affectionately, but in truth, harbored malicious intentions, each eager to see the other dead!

Shen Tang sneered inwardly, feigning affection, huh? Well then, let’s see who falls first!

Her pretty, slender fingers gradually moved downward, tracing the mermaid youth’s sharp jawline, landing on his sensually protruding Adam’s apple. Feeling a slight tremor from the roll, his breathing seemed to intensify.

The youth’s collar was a bit disheveled, revealing a small patch of white, jade-like skin.

Thus, her fingers continued downward, caressing his sculpted, majestic collarbone, then slowly resting on his firm, white chest,

Her long fingers moved subtly, like gently twirling, trying to undo his garment.

When about to move further,

The youth suddenly grabbed her wrist, speaking slightly breathlessly, ”Tangtang? What are you...”

Shen Tang looked up at him puzzledly, blinking her beautiful, big watery eyes, ”It’s getting late, time to rest.”

Liu Ye met the female’s tender gaze, paused, and slightly furrowed his brow. He feigned a look of both desire and hesitation, regretfully saying, ”After such a major ordeal in the sea area, I have much to manage, I probably can’t stay with you tonight.”

He released her wrist, saying apologetically, ”Tangtang, you rest first, I’ll handle some matters.”

He said this as he rose to leave, only to have his hand caught by the female.

Shen Tang didn’t want him to go. She looked at him sadly with those captivating, enchanting eyes, making refusal impossible, ”It’s been so long since we last met, finally reuniting. Didn’t you want me by your side? Now that I’m here, you’re leaving...”

”I...” The youth was speechless.

”Don’t you want to stay with me? Are those matters outside more important than me?” Shen Tang pouted, slightly upset.

”Of course not, you are what matters most to me, no one in the world is more important than you.” Liu Ye hurriedly explained.

Fearing the female’s suspicion, he quickly corrected himself,

”I’ll stay with you tonight.”
