Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!-Chapter 580 - 539: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind

Shen Tang finished looking through these memories, tears already streaming down her face. It turned out Jia Lan had died to save her.

If she hadn’t left the Divine Hall that day, if she hadn’t been caught in a trap and captured, would all of this never have happened?

Her face was pale, her eyes red, her heart submerged in deep self-blame and pain.

Yet at the same time, she vaguely felt that what happened that day carried an unexplainable strangeness, as if an invisible hand was guiding everything from the shadows.

Those seemingly coincidental events felt like predetermined paths.

In the vast hall, Liu Ye confined her on the throne, his long powerful arm tightly gripping her waist, while his other hand pinched her sharp, pale chin.

His deep blue eyes held a teasing mockery, "See clearly? It was he who willingly gave me his body, I didn’t forcibly take it."

"He willingly went to his death and can never return."

Shen Tang slowly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her eyes still red, but when she looked at him, there was neither sorrow nor joy.

Underneath that overly calm surface, something seemed to be suppressing a kind of madness.

She spoke coldly, "Then there’s no need for you to exist either!"

Before she finished speaking, Shen Tang suddenly lowered her head and bit fiercely into his arm, her sharp canine teeth piercing the flesh instantly, while a blade of spiritual power stabbed directly at his heart!

Liu Ye’s eyes instantly turned a bizarre shade of purple-red, "Courting death!"

In a rage, he flung her away.

Boom!

Shen Tang crashed hard into the wall, sliding down like a rag, a metallic taste rising in her throat as her vision blurred.

Liu Ye raised his hand slowly to wipe the bloodstain from his face, looking at the blood beads seeping from his arm, the last trace of tenderness in his eyes vanished, replaced only by icy killing intent, "I originally intended to spare your life, but you just don’t know what’s good for you."

Docile and beautiful cats can be patiently kept, but feral cats that can harm——must be killed!

Without a trace of pity, he attacked Shen Tang immediately.

Of course, Shen Tang wouldn’t foolishly confront him head-on, if she couldn’t win, she’d run!

She immediately activated the system’s teleportation function, ready to leave directly.

Suddenly, a semicircular barrier descended from the sky, trapping her within.

The familiar transparent barrier made her face change instantly.

At the same time, a group of people in black appeared silently within the palace, surrounding her completely.

It was clear they had set up an ambush long ago, just waiting for her to walk right into it!

The noble and beautiful man lounged lazily on the throne, a malicious wickedness between his brows as he leisurely admired the female trapped within the barrier, as if watching a bird in a cage.

From his crimson lips spilled words as cold as a snake’s bite, "Before you even arrived, I had prepared this meeting gift for you."

"This time, you can’t escape."

Shen Tang looked at the approaching Deputies, her face extremely unpleasant. She had long known this was a Hongmen banquet, but never imagined Liu Ye had colluded with the Deputies!

A thought flashed through her mind, and she incredulously said, "Could it be... you’ve been in league the whole time?"

The leading Deputy stepped forward, pulling out a special syringe, smiling evilly, "The dead don’t need to know so much."

The future Sea Emperor on the throne glanced at him indifferently, his voice cold, "Do you have the right to speak here?"

The once arrogant Deputy’s face changed as he knelt down, performing the Sea Clan’s highest etiquette, "Apologies, my lord, I spoke out of turn."

The other people in black also fell to their knees, trembling, not daring to breathe out of turn, showing the utmost reverence to the man high above.

Feeling the displeasure emanating from the man, their bodies uncontrollably trembled, filled with deep-seated fear, for his power and status were so formidable, and shockingly, someone in this world could wield pollution power, something they had never even heard of!

For their organization, it was an astonishing surprise, enough to make them bow and serve!

Shen Tang looked at the respectful demeanor of the Deputies, even she could finally figure it out.

She glared fiercely at Liu Ye, clenching her fists at her sides, her expression growing angrier, "So you had already sided with the Alien Star! Collaborating with these people together! Do you know what they do behind the scenes? You’re plotting against all the Beastmen of this continent! This is nothing short of treachery!"

"Sided? Treachery? Tangtang, there’s no need to put it so harshly." Liu Ye’s expression remained unchanged as he spoke languidly, "These people approached me of their own accord, eager to serve. Why should I refuse?"

"To completely control this body, besides reclaiming the sealed power, I also need the other personality to willingly disappear."
