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

Chapter 1064: Chapter 772: News of Xiao Jin

Just as Mansa was about to walk out of this stretch, he suddenly stopped.

He twitched his nose, turned to look behind him, his captivating and sharp gaze seemingly able to penetrate one’s soul, staring straight in a certain direction, he mused,

”Why does it seem like I’ve caught a familiar scent?”

As he spoke, he actually began moving slowly toward the alley.

And where he was heading was exactly where Shen Tang and Lu Xiao were hiding!

Shen Tang, who just let out a sigh of relief, saw Mansa turning back halfway, her heart instantly leaping to her throat, instinctively pulling Lu Xiao deeper into the shadows.

Oh heavens.

Could we actually be discovered?

Shen Tang held her breath, cold sweat seeping from her palms, she was even ready for a fight.

Lu Xiao clasped her hand back, sensing the female’s tension, softly comforting her, ”Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”

Since his breakthrough to the Breaking Yuan Rank, he also had better means to protect her.

This beastman resembling the Poison Butterfly Clan held a high status and was quite powerful, also of Breaking Yuan Rank cultivation.

Even if exposure led to a fight, Lu Xiao would risk his life to ensure her safe escape.

However, just as Mansa was about to walk over, another beastman hurriedly reported, ”Report to Lord Mansa, the C23 warehouse just encountered an attack, and the culprit has not been captured. Please, come to inspect.”

Mansa’s expression changed slightly, he chuckled coldly, the end of his words raised like a hook, carrying a dangerous undertone, ”Heh, seems like it’s that little mouse again. This time, I must catch him!”

After speaking, he turned and left with his team.

Once it was certain Mansa truly left and it was not a ruse to lure them out, Shen Tang finally let out a sigh of relief, but was still shaken, they were nearly discovered.

Mansa was very strong, when the two had clashed before, he hadn’t even used his full strength. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have detected that faint energy fluctuation so easily. In the future, she must avoid him.

Additionally, Shen Tang felt puzzled, previously in Sky City, Mansa came as a Divine Envoy to negotiate. Now seeing how people around him treated him with complete respect and called him Lord Holy Seat, he seemed more than a simple Divine Envoy.

He could very well be a member of the Divine Hall’s inner circle.

This reminded Shen Tang—although the Outer Zone is vast, core figures of the Divine Hall also roam here.

She must not be careless.

”Tangtang, do you recognize that person just now?” Lu Xiao didn’t actually know Mansa, but he could sense that person was dangerous, and based on Shen Tang’s demeanor, it seemed like they had met before.

Shen Tang shook her head, ”I wouldn’t say I know him, but I did see him before. It was when he came with the Divine Envoy to Sky City, presumably to discuss cooperation with Sky City...”

Shen Tang recounted the events from back then in detail. At that time, she was very anxious to find Lu Xiao and confirm his identity, unexpectedly the Divine Hall dispatched a powerful senior, unfortunately she was discovered and even captured into the lab. Later, Jin rescued her.

”So it was him.” Lu Xiao thought back to those times, feeling distressed and guilty, regretting that he couldn’t do anything then, not only failing to protect her but almost costing her her life.

”I was too impulsive back then. Let’s not talk about it, anyway, we’re both alright now, and that’s enough.” Shen Tang gently squeezed his hand, reassuringly said.

Lu Xiao stabilized his emotions, and continued, ”I just heard them say a certain warehouse was attacked, they seemed to be trying to capture an intruder.”

Shen Tang’s heart tightened with concern, ”Could it be Xiao Jin?”
