Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!-Chapter 587 - 541: Sweet Willingly (Part 2)

Lu Xiao turned his head to look at him and smiled slightly, "Indeed, we should thank Prince Liu Ye today. Without you, we wouldn’t have known about this, nor would we have understood her unspoken burdens."

Seeing Shen Tang repeatedly in danger, facing life and death, how could Lu Xiao and the others not notice something peculiar? How could they not feel anxious and pained?

Each time she acted secretly, seemingly reckless, it was more like an irresistible mission.

In the past, there was no way to uncover the truth. Even when pressed for answers, there were none, instead revealing her difficulties and secrecy, leaving them unsure of how to assist her.

To avoid worrying her, they could only pretend they knew nothing.

Now that the truth is revealed, they finally understand the shackles on her and know how to help her.

Listening to the Beast Husbands’ words, Shen Tang was stunned. Her once icy heart felt enveloped in fiery warmth, nearly melting.

Thinking of the bits and pieces of fighting alongside them these past two years, sharing the storms and struggles, her nose suddenly tingled, and her eyes welled up with tears.

This time, it wasn’t out of fear, but emotion, perhaps mixed with a tinge of guilt...

Xiao Jin saw the little female suddenly burst into tears and quickly cupped her small face, gently caressing her cheek with his rough finger pads. Seeing her red eyes like a little rabbit, he felt a deep ache, "Why are you crying? I truly don’t mind! You should have told me earlier; I wish I could give you my whole heart! One isn’t enough; I’d give you my liver too!"

Shen Tang chuckled through her tears, rubbed her eyes, and gently chided, "What would I do with your heart and liver? Silly leopard."

Xue Yinzhou also reached out to wipe the tears from her eyes. Though his tone was awkward, it was filled with ultimate gentleness and patience, "Don’t cry anymore. Your eyes will get swollen and uncomfortable."

Shen Li and Lu Xiao had deeper thoughts.

They quietly speculated about the origin of the system, why it would have Shen Tang conquer them, and if there might be another plot behind it?

Why were those Deputies aware of the system’s existence?

Could there be a connection between the two?

What worried them even more was if Shen Tang was indeed a wandering soul mistakenly entering this body, she might not belong to this world.

Would there come a day when... she would leave?

Of course, these were matters for the future.

At this moment, Lu Xiao and Shen Li’s attitudes were clear. They were not bothered by the female’s "use" in the name of love, and they indulged in it.

Liu Ye watched the harmonious atmosphere among the five on the opposite side, his handsome face darkened to the extreme, resembling a ridiculous clown.

What kind of Enchanting Soup did this female feed them? Knowing she had ulterior motives, they still comforted and protected her...

What on earth were these fools thinking?!

"Utter idiocy!" Seeing the defection impossible, Liu Ye simply abandoned his plan, sacrificing all the black-clad men who couldn’t escape on the spot, forcibly breaking the seal.

"Roar—!"

"Boom—!"

Outside, countless Sea Beasts roared, those massive and grotesquely twisted Mutant Species swarmed from the polluted sea area!

The once-safe sky above the Imperial City was now overcast like black clouds; thousands of Mutated Sea Beasts approached swiftly like dark clouds, their oppressive aura as if doomsday was descending!

This beast tide was clearly summoned by human intervention!

Liu Ye, burdened with the Curse Power and impurity, shared the same origin as the polluted grounds. The Mutated Sea Beasts, still possessing their "survival of the fittest" instincts, naturally bowed to him.

The beast tide, with its terrifying destructive power, instantly swept across the Imperial City, with palaces falling one after another.

In the palace, Beastmen fled in panic, some even failing to escape, devoured and torn apart by the Mutant Beasts, the scent of blood thick in the air.

The citizens in the city were in a similarly dire situation.

Countless Mutated Sea Beasts breached the city, attacking the populace, the streets filled with screams and slaughter, ruins everywhere, eyes full of devastation.

Shen Tang and Xiao Jin, along with others, didn’t have time to chase the fleeing Liu Ye; they could only rescue the citizens of the Imperial City first.

By the time they dealt with this wave of beast tide, Liu Ye had already fled far with injuries, disappearing without a trace.

Shen Tang and the others could only return to find High Priest Lunus.

Half of the Imperial Palace had become ruins.

Lunus slowly walked out, but he was in a terrible state, his handsome face as pale as paper, his lips devoid of color.

He clutched his chest, his steps staggering, and a faint light emanated from him, like scattered starlight dissipating outward.

It seemed like an illusion, but his figure appeared to have become subtly transparent...

Shen Tang hurried forward to support him, "High Priest, are you alright?"

Lunus shook his head, "I’m fine."

She apologized, "I’m sorry, we couldn’t capture Liu Ye; he got away."

Lunus consoled gently, "Liu Ye carries powerful Curse Power; he isn’t that easily subdued."
