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

Chapter 1205: Chapter 871: Garuda_2

He frowned, walked to the bedside to check her over, and only let out a sigh of relief when he found that her body was unscathed.

Jia Lan checked the barriers set around the palace, but they had not been breached. Perhaps it was just a hallucination earlier.

He brewed another bowl of potion, woke Shen Tang to drink it, and then let her continue resting.

However, Jia Lan did not sleep and went out alone in the middle of the night.

When she awoke the next day, Shen Tang smelled the aroma of food. The table was filled with sumptuous dishes, all made from various rare and precious ingredients, even rarer than the tributes offered by various tribes, and these ingredients were imbued with extremely refined energy.

Shen Tang looked at Jia Lan, who was preparing bowls and chopsticks, and said in surprise, ”Did you make all this? Did you stay up all night?”

”I woke up early. You’re pregnant, so hurry over to eat.” Jia Lan said with a smile, ”These are all excellent supplements, good for both you and the baby.”

Jia Lan really didn’t sleep all night. How could he sleep with such a big happy event? He went out in the dead of night specifically to hunt those energy-rich sea beasts, trekking nearly ten thousand kilometers back and forth, just to return before dawn and cook with the freshest ingredients for Shen Tang.

”Try this, Silver Moon Cod, a specialty of the Glacier Sea Area. It’s small and nimble at hiding. I only managed to get a few. If you like it, I’ll catch more for you next time.” Jia Lan picked up a piece of snow-white fish meat and brought it to her lips.

Shen Tang swallowed it with his hand.

The flesh was extremely tender, almost boneless, rich in oil without being greasy, melting in the mouth like coagulated fat, ”Delicious!”

Seeing she liked it, Jia Lan gave her a whole plate full of food.

Shen Tang complained, ”Staying with you, I’m getting chubby.”

Jia Lan, without hesitation, said, ”Chubby is good, it’s cute.”

Shen Tang glared at him, ”And who was that going on about wanting a divorce before?”

”Ahem, that was so many years ago!” Jia Lan touched his nose, his azure eyes gazing at her affectionately, and said seriously, ”Now, no matter what you become, I won’t leave.”

The Mermaid Clan are the most beauty-admiring race, but in his heart, she is the most beautiful, unchanged for life.

No matter what she becomes, he will love her forever.

Shen Tang smiled appreciatively, leaned in, and gave him a peck on the cheek, ”Ah Lan, I’m leaving tomorrow.”

”So soon? Can’t you stay a few more days?” Jia Lan held her hand, his exquisite and beautiful face showing a hint of sorrow. The days of being together always seemed so short. He wanted to enjoy a few more days of just the two of them.

”It’s fine. After all, I’ve obtained the Sea Emperor’s legacy, and there’s nothing else here. I’ll go back with you.”

Shen Tang nodded, ”As you decide, but before returning to the Beast World Continent, I need to go somewhere else.”

Jia Lan looked at her curiously.

Shen Tang said, ”The Parasite Clan.”

Jia Lan was surprised, ”What are you going to do there?”

”I need to figure some things out. Only the Parasite Clan can give me an answer.”

Jia Lan didn’t doubt her, ”I’ll go with you.”

Shen Tang nodded, ”You should bring a Guard Army with us.”

Jia Lan quickly understood Shen Tang’s intention, clearly not wanting to go to war with the Parasite Clan, just to intimidate them.

Back when the Divine Hall was still around, the Parasite Clan was entirely aligned with the Divine Hall’s rule. The last time Shen Tang went there was years ago, and she had a life-and-death battle with them, leaving unpleasant memories. Though the Divine Hall has fallen now, the internal state of the Parasite Clan is still unclear.

Compared to her going alone, having the Sea Emperor and troops accompany her would surely make the Parasite Clan wary, preventing any reckless actions.

...

The Sea Clan’s fleet personally escorted Shen Tang to the Parasite Clan.

Three whale-like ships trailed long light tails across the deep blue sea. The sides of the ships were carved with tide patterns that parted the waves, so stable as if they were gliding on the ground.

Shen Tang leaned against the railing, the sea breeze carrying salty moisture upon her face, blowing her dark hair into the air.

”System, I’m still thinking about the dream I had that night.”

Shen Tang rested her cheek on her hand, leaning on the railing, saying perplexedly, ”I seem to always have these strange dreams, and the content of the dreams seems to come true not long after.”

[Perhaps it’s some kind of prophecy.]

”Prophecy?”

[Yes, Host, you might not believe it, but you have a kind of ability to foresee the future. However, this ability is not stable, only manifesting occasionally in the form of dreams, and the prophetic content is fragmented and not precise enough.]
