Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!-Chapter 425 - 414: Are You a Beastman?

Necro’s cold and sinister face rarely showed a hint of shock.

Something actually managed to escape from his grasp.

And it’s a... cat?

At this moment, a slender figure flashed by in a hurry. Fu Teng looked anxious, "Xiao Gua, have you seen my Xiao Gua?"

"Xiao Gua?" Necro looked at him, frowning.

"It’s that little wild cat I keep!" Fu Teng gestured, "The particularly beautiful one! With black and white fur!"

Necro spoke indifferently, "Haven’t seen it."

"How is that possible? I clearly heard the sound of a bell here. Xiao Gua carries the bell I gave it, so it must have been here. Did you do something to it?!" Fu Teng questioned.

Necro’s brows furrowed tightly, and he spoke impatiently, "You’ve been raising so many cats lately, how would I tell which one?"

He also didn’t know why this guy had recently gone out of his mind and suddenly became obsessed with raising cats.

"Xiao Gua is different!" Fu Teng’s voice rose sharply, arguing, "It was the first one I picked up by the roadside. After it ran away, I started raising others..." As he spoke, his tone suddenly became downcast, "Now it’s finally back, and it’s disappeared again..."

Necro had no interest in listening to his ramblings, glancing down at the wound on his arm—the two small blood holes were still bleeding.

That wild cat had quite the bite.

Fu Teng saw the trace of blood, and a flash of red light appeared in his eyes.

Previously, that woman suddenly crawled over, crazily licking the fresh blood on Necro’s arm.

In the next second, all the crimson blood vessels on her body abruptly bulged, she stumbled and fell to the ground, rolling in agony, letting out a shrill scream, her whole body swelling like a balloon—

"Bang!"

A blood mist splattered everywhere.

Necro leisurely wiped his hands, glancing at the bodies lined up by the pool, "Dispose of them."

"So cruel~" Fu Teng shook his head and sighed, suddenly countless green vines burst out, dragging the bodies away like snakes.

These ordinary Beastmen’s physical qualities were still too weak to withstand the power of the Blood Clan, meticulously selecting hundreds could cultivate a qualified host, yet so many bodies were wasted in vain.

Necro squinted toward the distance, his voice still hoarse from lingering desire, "Next time I see it, kill without mercy."

"What do you mean?" Fu Teng’s smile froze.

"Clean up the trash you keep," Necro said coldly, "I let you stay here not to play house."

"That’s not gonna happen." Fu Teng’s expression showed a hint of anger, which quickly vanished, replaced by the usual cheerful smile.

"Oh dear, it’s run away again." He suddenly sensed something, glaring woefully at Necro, "It’s all your fault, you probably scared my Xiao Gua!"

"..."

Meanwhile, Shen Tang landed weakened, almost frightened to death!

If she had been a second later, her little life would’ve been gone.

Luckily, she reacted quickly, biting directly, the sharpness of the Ninth Rank Beastman’s bite goes without saying, Necro was unguarded at that time, and she bit out blood!

[Host! We’ve got the blood!] The system’s voice changed with excitement, [Even though the process differed from the plan, the result is what counts! Although the amount is a bit less, it’d be better if you could have taken a few more bites. Getting Essence Blood would be optimal, but these scraps will barely do.]

Shen Tang just let out a breath of relief, when the system switched to a serious tone, [Warm reminder: The success rate of blood serum development is between 15%-20%, this blood is enough for three trials at most. Host, do you wish to start?]

"Stop babbling, get on with it!"

[Development cost: Ten thousand points.]

"Robbery?!" Shen Tang nearly jumped up.

[Analyzing blood force is very expensive~] the system explained slyly, [But once blood serum is developed and produced in bulk, it’s cheaper to purchase, it’s a surefire profit~]

Shen Tang felt a bit tricked, but the arrow was on the bow and had to be shot.

Gnashing her teeth, she smashed all the points accumulated over months into it, "Damn system, if the development fails, I’m taking you apart and cooking you in hot pot!"

[Rest assured, host, trust in your luck, there’s absolutely no problem!]

"...The more you say that, the worse it feels."

[Hehe, the development time for blood serum is 3~7 days, please be patient, host!]

Shen Tang barely felt at ease.

The frontline can hold for now, once the serum is developed, everything will be resolved.

Even though Shen Tang successfully acquired the blood sample, she still felt uneasy, especially thinking about Fu Teng.

These days spent together, he was different from those brutal rebels, this guy genuinely treated her as a beloved cat.

Now she left without notice, ’lost’ again, and she wondered if he would anxiously search for the cat.

Shen Tang took out the collar from System Space, and the metal bell in her palm emitted a faint glow.

Suddenly, the bell shook without warning.

"Ring—Ring—"

Shen Tang froze.

Is Fu Teng looking for her?

The bell rang more urgently, as if depicting the person’s frantic search in every corner.

Shen Tang’s inner conflict was stirred; originally determined not to return, yet this ringing pestered her into turmoil.

"Sigh!" Shen Tang eventually sighed. Let it be a proper farewell, so he wouldn’t keep fretting about finding a cat.

Estimating when Fu Teng normally returned, she had the system teleport her back to the small wooden cabin.

Yet, she had terribly bad luck this time, bumping straight into the person she least wanted to meet—Necro!

Shen Tang stayed for days at Fu Teng’s place, usually it was just the two of them, mostly it was just her alone, which made Shen Tang subconsciously assume the cabin was safe, free from interruptions.

Only now did she abruptly realize, this was still rebel army territory, Fu Teng and Necro shared a close relationship, and the two were very likely often together.

She hadn’t considered that Necro would come to the cabin today.

The two had just emerged from the dark room.

Necro, upon seeing Shen Tang, his eyes suddenly cold, his killing intent surged instantly, "It’s you again!"

Seeing the leader about to strike, Fu Teng dashed forward, forcefully using his shoulder to block the fatal attack for Shen Tang, fresh blood immediately soaking through his clothes.

Necro looked at him coldly, "I told you long ago to tidy up the trash, don’t keep these things on my territory."

Fu Teng explained with a pale face, "This is just my pet cat. You know, I always need some test subjects."

Necro furrowed his brow but didn’t say more, only leaving a sentence, "Hand over the goods within three days, or you’ll disappear along with this yard full of trash."

Then he turned and walked away.

Shen Tang looked at the bloodstains on Fu Teng’s shoulder, clearer than ordinary people’s blood.

A touch of conflict flashed in her eyes, but she ultimately did not reveal her identity.

However, Fu Teng acted as if nothing happened, sticking a simple bandage before carrying her into the house, even serving carefully prepared food.

Throughout, he watched her eat with his chin propped in his hand, eyes filled with smiles, looking like he was watching some lost and found treasure.

Just as Shen Tang was almost finished, he suddenly asked softly,

"Xiao Gua... you’re actually a Beastman, aren’t you?"
