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

Chapter 1048: Chapter 766

It’s unclear how much time passed.

The air became quiet again.

Lu Xiao lay over her, his chest heaving violently, sweat dripping onto her collarbone. His breathing slowly calmed, his body stopped trembling, and his body temperature gradually fell.

The madness receded from his eyes, and he saw the female in his arms clearly.

In the moonlight, her lips were split, and there were dried blood scabs at the corners of her mouth.

There was a deep bite mark on her neck, from which blood was still oozing. Her arms, waist, and thighs were covered with bruises and red scratches from gravel.

Especially the most severely injured area...

Her eyes were red, and her eyelashes still had tears on them, but she did not cry out, just lay there quietly, looking at him.

Lu Xiao froze completely.

”Tangtang...” he stretched out his hand, wanting to touch her face.

His fingers stopped just a second before touching her cheek.

His fingers were trembling.

He saw the blood on that hand, it was her blood.

Lu Xiao jerked his hand back, as if it had been burned.

He flipped off her, staggered backward a few steps, and sat down heavily on the ground.

Moonlight fell on his tall, naked body, and those wounds that she had just healed split open again, blood and sweat mingled, trickling down along the lines of his muscles.

But he seemed not to feel the pain at all, just stared fixedly at Shen Tang’s injuries.

Those injuries.

All were caused by him.

His lips trembled, his chest heaving violently, as if he wanted to say something, but couldn’t utter a word.

”Ah Xiao...” Shen Tang frowned her pale little face, trying hard to prop herself up, wanting to extend a hand to him.

But Lu Xiao retreated, eyes full of pain, as if he were an unforgivable sinner, whose touch would bring her harm.

”I... hurt you...” his voice was so hoarse it was nearly inaudible, ”I promised... I wouldn’t hurt you... I...”

”It’s okay, I said I won’t blame you, these injuries mean nothing to me.” Shen Tang tried to stand up, wanting to walk toward him.

”No, don’t come over.” He suddenly raised his head, those dark green eyes full of bloodshot lines, mixing pain and fear, twisting those usually gentle eyes beyond recognition, ”I’ll lose control again... I’ll hurt you again, I—”

His words broke off.

Because he saw the blood still flowing down her leg.

Lu Xiao suddenly stood up, as if he couldn’t bear it any longer, stumbling and turning to leave.

”Lu Xiao!”

Shen Tang chased him a few steps, tripped on some gravel, her knee knocking on the ground, making her gasp in pain.

By the time she looked up again, that tall figure had already disappeared into the night.

She sat back on the ground, taking a deep breath, surrounded by broken branches and scattered stones.

Shen Tang looked in the direction Lu Xiao disappeared, her eyes filled with deep helplessness; this was the hardest step to take, aside from the physical pain, the hardest step to take was the psychological barrier.

He couldn’t accept such a disgraceful self, and even more, he couldn’t accept that he would harm her, the psychological pain and struggle might surpass the physical.

The wind blew in from the mouth of the valley, carrying the scent of grass and earth, blowing her hair into disarray.

She raised her hand to tidy it, her fingertips brushing the wound on her neck, causing her to hiss in pain.

She looked down at herself, her clothes were already torn to pieces, the tattered hem stained with mud and blood, indistinguishable whose it was.

The wounds were burning hot with pain, each step felt like being scraped by a blade.

She took a deep breath, found a rock sheltered from the wind to sit down, and hurriedly used her healing ability to tend to her wounds, the pain slowly fading.

But the vivid feeling remained, as if her body was reminding her of what happened just now.

Shen Tang bit her lip lightly, and after finishing the treatment, she propped herself up on the rock to slowly stand up, her legs still a bit weak, but she could walk.

She tentatively used her spiritual power to search within a few dozen miles, but unfortunately found nothing, in such a short time, given his current intense state, he shouldn’t have gone far, and he wouldn’t have allowed himself to stray too far from her either, just that he probably locked away his own powers, Shen Tang’s strength was no higher than his, if he could hide, it would really be difficult to find him.

”System.” Shen Tang spoke, her voice a little hoarse, ”Can you sense where Ah Xiao is?”

[Let me try.] The system paused for a few seconds

[Yes, host, he went southeast, about twenty miles away.] The system responded after a few seconds of silence, [But he keeps moving, every time I almost lock onto him, he changes location.]
