Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!-Chapter 424 - 413: First Encounter with the Leader
For the first time in her life, Shen Tang was teased like this. Her whole face flushed red, and she kicked off her hind legs to leap out of his embrace.
If it weren’t for the fact that this was the rebel army’s lair and the man in front of her was their second-in-command, she would’ve scratched some blood marks onto his face!
"Hahaha, so easy to embarrass, huh?" Fu Teng laughed, clutching his stomach, unable to straighten his waist from laughing, "I was just looking, didn’t do anything to you~"
Shen Tang was so angry that her ears stood up. She turned around to slip away, only to be grabbed back again.
The man rubbed her furry little head and somehow conjured a bracelet with a golden bell, which he slowly fastened around his wrist.
Ding-a-ling—
As he gently shook his wrist, the collar on Shen Tang’s neck immediately made a clear, crisp sound in response.
"This is called a Communication Bell." Fu Teng pinched her curious, perked-up ear with a smile in his eyes, "It’s made from the seeds of the Sound Transmission Flower, and our clever Xiao Gua can definitely understand it, right?"
He said, shaking the bracelet again, "If you run out to play wild again and hear this sound, it means I’m looking for you. Remember to come home, or else..."
He sighed, "Someone will worry themselves sick."
Shen Tang felt a little uneasy inside.
Fu Teng really treats her like a house cat, huh.
Every day, he finds new ways to make delicious food, sews little clothes by hand, afraid she’d get lost... He’s been so good to her that it’s beyond words...
After playing with her in the courtyard for a while, Fu Teng had to go out again for some matters.
Shen Tang immediately found a corner and had the system teleport her back to the Night Glow Empire.
These days, she’s been running between the two sides: acting cute and gathering intelligence at the rebel army’s side, and rushing back home to gather people to discuss defense plans.
Piecing together the scattered clues collected over this time, Shen Tang reached a chilling conclusion—what Fu Teng kept doing in the secret room all day with his regeneration experiments was highly likely to be research on extending the living corpse’s lifespan!
If he actually develops it, it would be a disaster.
The front line situation was even more grim.
Although Xue Yinzhou and the others were desperately holding the front lines, the number of living corpses kept increasing daily while their warriors continued to decrease.
If this continues, the defense line will collapse sooner or later.
They must develop the blood serum as soon as possible!
They couldn’t wait any longer!
When Shen Tang was out gathering information during the day, she heard that the First Commander had just returned to the city a couple of days ago.
What’s even stranger is that Fu Teng hasn’t shown up for two days since he went out last time. She couldn’t help but suspect that he might have been detained by that First Commander?
After much inquiry, she finally pinpointed the location of the First Commander’s palace and confirmed that the person would stay in the palace overnight.
Tonight is her perfect chance to strike!
Shen Tang even thought of her escape plan: with the system’s teleportation function for self-preservation, at worst she’d teleport away after a quick strike.
As long as she can get close to the Necro Leader, stab him for the blood, and then flee!
Even if the King himself shows up, they wouldn’t be able to catch her!
At midnight, when all was silent.
Shen Tang activated the system teleportation and landed directly at the leader’s palace.
To ensure nothing went awry, she also bought a breathing concealer from the System Mall—success or failure hinges on this!
The entire palace was brightly lit under the night sky, looking like a giant beast in slumber with its blood-red eyes wide open.
Steam billowed from the open-air hot springs on the west side, and from afar, the corner of the pool water glistened with a strange dark red, as if mixed with blood.
Several bronze beast heads stood by the poolside, warm water gurgling from their mouths, sounding like the suppressed breathing of a beast in the silent night.
Red threads, like spider webs, drifted in the air, suffocating with their thickness.
Shen Tang transformed into her small form, her agile silhouette blending into the shadows of the night, making her nearly impossible to track.
She stealthily hid in the bushes by the hot springs, and as she got closer, she heard indescribable noises coming from within.
Her steps halted abruptly, following the sound, her feline eyes widened in shock!
Several corpses lay sprawled by the hot spring pool, both men and women, with fresh blood slowly trickling along the edge, dyeing the entire pool blood-red and glaring.
A tall man leaned by the poolside, his long black hair hung wetly. His bronze chest was partly exposed, muscular and defined, his handsome, wicked face adorned with eyes as cold and deep as icy pools, exuding a chilling menace.
A beautiful, unclothed female sat straddling his waist.
From afar, they appeared like a loving couple in an intimate embrace, but it was bizarre—her pale skin beneath, with crimson veins grotesquely bulging like a spider web, her entire body quivering violently from both excitement and fear.
"Master... please indulge in me..." The woman’s voice trembled yet fanatically offered her neck to the man’s lips.
The man lowered his head, biting into her neck, his sharp canine teeth breaking through her tender skin instantly.
As the blood flooded into his mouth, the woman’s pupils dilated abruptly into blood red, emitting shouts of both pain and pleasure, as she yearned to delve further into the man’s embrace.
The ensuing scene was quite undesirable to witness. Even though Shen Tang was no inexperienced girl to worldly matters and had seen much, stumbling upon this live erotic scene... it embarrassed her to the point where her ears were burning. She quickly used her paw to cover her eyes and stepped back.
She didn’t want to end up with sore eyes!
See no evil!
However, as she backed away, she accidentally touched those red threads floating in the air.
"Splash—" the sound of water echoed suddenly.
The man paused his actions, forcefully pushing away the woman in his arms, casually pulling his outer robe over himself, his sharp gaze shooting toward Shen Tang’s hiding spot like a knife, a dangerous, cold smile playing at his lips, "Where did this little mouse come from?"
Before his words even faded, a mass of crimson energy gathered abruptly in the palm of his hand, rushing toward Shen Tang with the sound of breaking air!
Shen Tang’s heart skipped a beat in fright, and she wanted to run!
But this power was domineering and unparalleled, fast beyond belief, giving Shen Tang no time to react. The next moment, she was sucked to the man’s hand as if drawn by a magnet.
What the hell?!
Shen Tang’s mind was filled with turmoil.
She was a Ninth Rank Beastman, and there were few on the entire continent who could defeat her.
This man casually subdued her with a move, his strength definitely surpassed Tenth Rank!
Could he be—could he really be the legendary rebel army leader Necro?!
But wasn’t the intelligence saying that Necro was supposed to be an ugly freak? The handsome yet sinister rogue before her was totally different from the rumors?!
"A cat?"
The man’s brow furrowed, his unbuttoned shirt revealing well-defined, robust chest muscles. He stared at the curious little creature in his hand, seemingly recalling when such an odd cat sneaked into his palace.
Shen Tang was so scared that her fur bristled all over, but her body acted faster than her mind, and she bit into his arm.
"Hiss—" The man took a sharp breath, his face darkening instantly.
He never expected this seemingly weak little wildcat to dare bite him.
Anything living that came within three meters of him would typically be too scared to even move, so he didn’t guard against it, resulting in such a solid bite!
"Courting death!" The man’s five fingers contracted fiercely, intending to crush this audacious little creature.
Yet in the next moment, the cat in his palm simply vanished into thin air!
