Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!-Chapter 175 - 169: Snake Shedding

Shen Tang leaned against the stone wall outside the mountain cave and fell asleep while waiting.

As dawn broke.

The White Snake slithered out of the mountain cave.

His gaze fell on the female sleeping on the ground, his brow furrowing slightly.

The night was deep with heavy dew, and the ground was damp with weeds and stones. Sleeping here all night, she was bound to catch a cold the next day.

The thick, long snake tail coiled around Shen Tang’s body, pulling her into his embrace.

Shen Tang was a light sleeper, and the moment the snake’s tail wrapped around her thighs and waist, she woke up in a start.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she was staring straight into a massive snake head and, not fully awake, let out a scream.

The vertical pupils of the White Snake showed a hint of grievance as he flicked his tongue out, licking her forehead. Could it be she really has a fever so high she’s gone mad?

It finally dawned on Shen Tang that it was Xue Yinzhou. Her tense body suddenly relaxed, and she gently said, "You’ve shed your skin?"

"Mm." The White Snake spoke human language.

The next moment, he transformed into a human form, long silver-white hair cascading to his waist, with a handsome, exquisite appearance, broad shoulders, a slim waist, long legs, eight-pack abs, perfectly built, and stark naked.

Waking up to such a stimulating scene, Lady Bai had transformed into a naked handsome man.

Shen Tang held her breath, her cheeks flushing red as she instinctively glanced downward.

Wait a minute, something seems off?

The number isn’t quite right...

Shen Tang’s cat-like eyes widened, thinking her mind wasn’t clear upon waking and she had misseen things.

Just as she wanted to take another good look, a flash of white light crossed, and Xue Yinzhou was dressed, concealing the spring scenery.

He noticed Shen Tang’s lecherous yet slightly regretful gaze. His phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as he said blandly, "What are you looking at?"

Shen Tang quickly retracted her gaze and explained, "Um, I was looking to see if your wounds have healed!"

Xue Yinzhou looked at her blushing face, his gaze flickering, but he did not debunk the female’s clumsy lie.

He bent down to hook her leg, lifting her up horizontally.

Shen Tang let out a small cry, wrapping her arms around his long neck. Their breaths mingled as they were so close.

The last time they were this close... was when he had gripped her neck, intending to kill her. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Xue Yinzhou noticed her unease, a complicated emotion flashing in his eyes. He said softly, "Thank you."

Shen Tang was startled, as if she never expected to hear that from him in this life, let alone directed at her.

Immediately, her beautiful eyes curved into crescents, and she said happily, "No need to thank me. I am your Female Master, and I have the responsibility to comfort you. It’s good to be able to help you."

Xue Yinzhou’s throat was dry, suddenly unsure what to say. Like a shadow scorched by sunshine, he felt somewhat at a loss.

Having received malice since childhood, this kindness was truly unfamiliar to him.

"It’s almost dawn," Shen Tang whispered as she leaned against his chest,

"Let’s go home."

The scene overlapped with an illusion, and Xue Yinzhou’s pupils contracted as he tightened his grasp on her waist, nodding compliantly, "...Alright, let’s go home."

Having tasted the sunlight, how could a shadow hiding in the corners be content to stay in the dark?

Moonlight pierced through the clouds, falling on the forest path. The cool moonlight sprinkled on the two, as if draping them in a layer of hazy white gauze, while the sounds of insects and birds chirped endlessly. The road was tranquil and peaceful.

Neither of them spoke.

Yet, compared to the life-and-death struggles of the past, there was a much more indescribable serene harmony to this scene.

Xue Yinzhou’s return home took only a moment, but he deliberately slowed his pace, and the journey back took nearly an hour.

Shen Tang kept yawning along the way, eventually dozing off in his arms.

She was no longer afraid of Xue Yinzhou, and so she slept soundly.

Xue Yinzhou looked down at the female sleeping in his arms. Perhaps the moonlight was too gentle, as a hint of tenderness emerged in his cold phoenix eyes.

But thinking of the other people at home who would disturb them, the tenderness instantly disappeared, his expression darkened. In the past, he never cared about these things, but his state of mind had changed.

When they reached the villa,

Xue Yinzhou woke Shen Tang, "We’re home, go to your room and sleep."

Shen Tang woke and realized they were home.

She nodded, climbed down from Xue Yinzhou’s embrace, and was about to head to her room when she suddenly remembered something, turning halfway to say to him, "There’s something else I’d like to ask you for help with."

Xue Yinzhou looked down at her, "What is it?"

Shen Tang said a bit sheepishly, "Can you give me another set of Snake Shedding?"

Snake Shedding is a very private possession for the Snake Beast, never given to others casually.

Only if Xue Yinzhou willingly gave her the Snake Shedding, would it show he truly regards her as his Female Master and will never harm her.

Otherwise, Shen Tang felt uncertain.

Xue Yinzhou gazed at her for a long time before saying softly, "Do you really want it?"

"Yes, I want it!" Recalling the Snake Shedding she got from him last time, which later decayed beyond recognition, she wondered if he was upset.

Shen Tang solemnly promised, "Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of it this time and won’t damage it again!"

Xue Yinzhou’s expression was indifferent, concealing his emotions. He didn’t say whether he’d give it to her or not. After deeply looking at her, he turned and walked away briskly.

Shen Tang stood there in a daze, wondering, what does he mean by this?

She just felt their relationship was improving, yet it seemed this Snake Beast was still as stubborn as ever.

Shen Tang grumbled to the system, "You see, this guy never changes. You keep saying I neglect him, but clearly, he’s the one neglecting me!"

[Host, calm down. The Snake Shedding is, after all, the most private thing for the Snake Beast. You two only just started to reconcile, and he might not trust you fully yet, so he needs to consider it. Host, don’t rush; ask him again next time.]

It was three or four in the morning, and Shen Tang was yawning constantly. Too lazy to think more about it, she lay down and fell asleep.

She slept until the next morning.

Upon waking, she finished washing up and was about to go downstairs for some food.

Someone knocked on the door.

Shen Tang wondered if it was Shen Li calling her to eat.

She walked over to open the door, only to find Xue Yinzhou standing there.

Full of doubts, Shen Tang didn’t understand why he was there.

Xue Yinzhou handed her a set of Snake Shedding, speaking softly, "Here’s what you wanted. I made it, and it should be more comfortable to wear this way."

Shen Tang was astonished. She took it and realized the Snake Shedding had been made into underwear.

Had he left without a word last night to make these clothes?

Did he stay up all night, just finishing them now?

Coming to her senses, Shen Tang felt the delicate, soft Snake Shedding in her hand, overjoyed.

The Snake Shedding was indeed something special; it could intimidate creatures below the Ninth Rank. Returning to the polluted zone, she’d be invincible!

Not to mention, Xue Yinzhou’s craftsmanship was impressive, and the underwear looked very good.

Thin as a cicada’s wings, breathable, and appeared resilient. It seemed even softer and more comfortable to touch than the last Snake Shedding, bound to feel great when worn.

Xue Yinzhou noted her happy expression, his eyes flickering.

Shen Tang was about to express her thanks when Xue Yinzhou pulled her into his arms.

He leaned down, getting close to her ear, and whispered,

"You’re not her, are you?"
