Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!-Chapter 250 - 242: Wedding Upheaval!

Xiao Jin was enjoying his meal when a small hand came over and mercilessly twisted his ear, causing him to yelp loudly in pain.

Many people around them looked over, muttering in whispers, "What’s with the drama?"

Shen Tang hurriedly let go, embarrassed, and kicked him under the table. Wasn’t this damn leopard supposed to have a high pain tolerance? Why scream so loud?

Xiao Jin rubbed his aching ear, looking at her innocently, "Tangtang, why are you twisting my ear?"

Shen Tang was exasperated, "...Trying to knock some sense into you!"

"Huh? Knock some sense?" Xiao Jin felt more wronged, not understanding her sudden outburst or the personal attack.

On the stage, the newlyweds looked blissful, while the guests below clinked glasses and exchanged pleasantries.

Just when the atmosphere was merry—

"Bang!"

The sound of a gunshot erupted from the crowd, instantly piercing the peaceful surface.

A high-ranking official who had been toasting with the Emperor had his head explode into a mist of blood, collapsing to the ground.

The corpse’s face still bore a cordial smile, dying with open eyes!

Almost simultaneously.

The second gunshot!

The third shot... whistling out!

Several guests at the scene fell into pools of blood.

In an instant, the originally joyous wedding scene froze, before exploding into countless shrill screams! In a flash, wine glasses shattered, plates broke, tables and chairs toppled, and precious food scattered everywhere.

"Ahhhhh!"

"Murder! Someone’s dead!"

"Run! Run!! Help!!!"

Countless chaotic footsteps accompanied by screams of trampling.

In an instant, from paradise to hell!

The wedding scene turned into utter chaos, with Beastmen panic-stricken, running towards the exit. Shen Tang was also frightened pale by the sudden gunshots, and Xue Yinzhou swiftly held her in his arms, while Xiao Jin, Shen Li, Lu Xiao, and Jia Lan surrounded her, shielding her as they retreated.

Standing on the stage, Shen Qingli and her group were the most conspicuous targets!

At the first gunshot, she screamed in fear, holding her head and crouching down.

"Qingli, don’t be afraid, I’m here!"

Yun Han immediately stood in front of her, scanning the scene with a grim expression.

A group of rebels suddenly emerged from the banquet, tearing off their disguises among the audience, pulling out guns and explosives hidden in their clothes and shoes. In the chaotic scene, they laughed wildly, wantonly slaughtering the Beastmen!

"Empire dogs, all of you die for me!"

"Hahahahaha, fools should vacate their seats for us old folks to sit!"

In just a few breaths, dozens more guests were killed.

This group had actually evaded rigorous checks by the Imperial Army, infiltrated the audience, and set an ambush in advance? How on earth did they do it!

Even Yun Han was shocked and incredulous! But he couldn’t spare a thought for all that now, grabbing Shen Qingli’s shoulders, protecting her as they retreated.

Not far away, the Emperor, terrified to the point of collapsing to the ground, shouted in panic, "Protect the Emperor! Help!"

The Emperor and Empress turned pale with fear, and if not for the official who took the bullet for him, the Emperor would have been the one dead in a pool of blood!

This group of insurgents was coming for his life!

"Father, Mother, we must evacuate!" The sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard, and the Guard Team couldn’t protect them in time. Shen Xu hurriedly helped the Emperor stand, supporting the two towards the exit.

But Shen Xu was only a Sixth Rank Beastman and no match for these elite, well-trained assassins.

An assassin moved like a ghost, his hand turning into a pitch-black claw, striking Shen Xu.

Boom! Shen Xu was flung several meters, unable to get up, his chest ripped open, uncertain if he was still alive.

Immediately after, the assassin grinned, claws aimed at the Emperor’s chest!

"Die, old man!"

A moment before landing, a blade of ice pierced through the assassin’s body, tearing him to pieces.

Yun Han hurriedly arrived to save them, quickly clearing the surrounding assassins and escorting the Emperor and Empress towards the exit.

In the few seconds he left Shen Qingli, the air behind her suddenly twisted.

Then, a tall, dark shadow emerged like a specter, extending a long arm to pull the female into an embrace.

The man’s thin lips approached her ear, his slender, forked black tongue slipping out to lick her pale earlobe,

with a sinister, deep voice laced with danger,

"Little beauty, you promised to be my female, yet here you are, secretly marrying another male. I should take you back and punish you properly..."

"Ah! Yun Han, save me!" Shen Qingli’s face turned paper-white as she screamed in terror.

Yun Han turned his head, fury in his eyes, "Qingli!"

He couldn’t care about anything else, instantly transforming into an Icefield Snow Wolf and lunging over.

Not far away, Shen Tang was also shocked to see the sudden appearance of the black-robed man. She was all too familiar with the dimensional rift, that familiar dread! It was the closest she had ever been to death!

He was the black-clothed man who almost killed her and Xue Yinzhou last time!

But this time, he revealed his true face, with short, curly deep red hair, brown eyes, and a wicked, unruly appearance. But his skin was abnormally pale, almost bloodless, exuding an extremely flamboyant and bizarre aura. The pressure of his Ninth Rank position loomed over the entire scene, causing the entire palace space to tremble faintly!

He was one of the current three commanders of the rebel army, Zaxxis!

Despite decades of war with the Empire, the rebel army had never fully breached the Imperial Defense Line. How did they manage to infiltrate the Imperial City so smoothly today? And even quietly slip into the banquet?

The process would have required layer upon layer of checkpoints. If there wasn’t someone collaborating from the inside, they could never have infiltrated so smoothly!

But if the rebel army had enough spies within the Empire, they would have acted sooner, so why choose this specific time...?

Shen Tang suddenly remembered the attack on her spaceship just over a month ago, the timing very close! Last time, they quietly crossed the defense line for a large-scale massacre.

But that time, it was Shen Qingli who wanted to kill her, she must have secretly helped the rebel army smuggle across the border!

In the original story, Zaxxis was depicted as a cruel and bloody villain male lead, not a romantic fool, but a total madman. Even when Shen Tang read the original, she wondered if this man truly loved the female lead?

More often than not, he was scheming against Shen Qingli, extracting what he wanted from her!

More accurately, Shen Qingli and Zaxxis were two of a kind, both using each other.

Shen Qingli used the rebel army commander to eliminate her obstacles, while Zaxxis used the Empire Princess with whom he had an affair to slowly infiltrate the Imperial Defense Line.

Just waiting for the right time to take down the Empire in one fell swoop!

The rebel army had been preparing for many years, waiting for today!

Today, he wasn’t just here to take a beauty. What he wanted to take was the Night Glow Empire!

Thinking of this, Shen Tang felt a chill all over her body. She couldn’t help but curse, wondering what sort of superficial connection these two dogs had to jeopardize the entire Empire’s citizens!
