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

Chapter 1186: Chapter 858: Power of Prophecy

The bright and lovely little girl from that day might have just been a coincidence, or perhaps it was the dazzling warmth of the day’s sunlight that embellished this memory.

Since then, Lu Xiao has not gone to see the Little Princess alone again.

Later, he heard rumors about her intermittently, mostly tales of how the Princess was spoiled and tyrannical, cruel and ruthless. Some even said she was crazy, laughing and crying at different times, sometimes good, sometimes evil, unpredictable, making people avoid her.

When Lu Xiao was young and heard these rumors, he felt rather calm.

Political marriages do not concern themselves with affection; it doesn’t matter what his future fiancée is like to him; as long as they respect each other, it is enough.

Later, he heard that she fell in love at first sight with the eldest son of the Yun Family, obsessively relentless, insisting on breaking off her engagement with him.

Breaking it is fine.

Lu Xiao did not mind; occasionally, he would still reminisce about the day, under the bright sun, amidst the insects chirping and the fragrance of flowers, that lovely little girl like a flower bud...

Unfortunately, the engagement did not turn out as both parties had wished.

Afterwards, it became common knowledge.

Lu Xiao snapped out of his distant memories, murmuring, ”So that’s how it is...”

Recalling the very distant and nearly forgotten small figure in his memory, so bright and lovely, indeed slowly overlapped with the Shen Tang of today.

Therefore, it was indeed Shen Tang who rescued Xue Yinzhou from the Slave Market. But the one who also brought him harm and pain was her.

But at that time, she was forced to complete the System’s tasks, and on top of that, forcibly infused with others’ memories. Her mental state was not good, often falling into chaotic madness, unpredictable.

”There’s one more thing, perhaps even she herself doesn’t know.” Shu Kui gazed at the moonlight and softly said, ”She has a special gift, foresight.”

Lu Xiao’s pupils shook, suddenly standing up, ”Foresight ability? Aren’t those only priests...”

”That’s right, it’s a heaven-communing gift only possessed by priests from various tribes, foreknowledge! It’s unfortunate she hasn’t undergone specialized training, and probably won’t walk this path in her lifetime. Yet the gift remains hidden within her, and when faced with a crisis, the body will trigger it as a rescue.”

Shu Kui continued, ”When the second-generation system rebooted, her memory was also altered. The memories are equally influenced by her subconscious prophecy. It’s not merely accidental that she often gets through crises, she should be relying on her foresight ability.”

Lu Xiao snapped out of his initial shock but didn’t seem joyful; instead, he furrowed his brows, deep in thought, ”Why does she possess such heaven-communing ability? Could it be the System...”

Foresight ability is exceedingly rare, unlikely to emerge even among millions. Nowadays, many strong tribes’ priests have lost the foresight ability; how could she...He doesn’t believe it’s merely coincidence.

Shu Kui shook his head and said, ”It’s contained within her bloodline as origin power, not given by the System. The System is not omnipotent, this heaven-communing ability cannot be traded, and no one would willingly trade it.”

Lu Xiao fell into contemplation, suddenly remembering Shu Kui’s mention, Shen Tang was a replication made by the Divine Hall.

Given it’s a replication, her bloodline power naturally comes from...

Lu Xiao took a deep breath, losing his usual steadiness and composure, urgently asked, ”Where does her bloodline’s origin come from?”

Shu Kui shook his head, ”I’ve investigated for a long time, but unfortunately, haven’t received any information on that.”

Lu Xiao understood that Shu Kui wasn’t hiding anything, further inquiries wouldn’t yield more information.

”Thank you for telling me all this tonight, I will assist with anything you need in the future.”

When Lu Xiao got up to leave, he glanced at the youth lying on the rooftop, those silver eyes still clear. It seemed he realized something, smiled and said, ”Ha, the Female Master once said she was sorry to you, sneaked away after getting you drunk...I didn’t expect your tolerance for alcohol to be quite good.”

Shu Kui remembered the event, somewhat amusingly said, ”I’ve crafted countless potions; every potion’s first trial tester is myself. To have survived until now, saying I’m immune to poisons isn’t an exaggeration! If she had added ten more vials of sleeping agents, maybe she could indeed have knocked me out~”

But Shu Kui knew Shen Tang’s temperament, knew that if she really wanted to go, he couldn’t stop her, so he simply went along with her wishes.
