Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!-Chapter 432 - 421: Take Him Back

At the same time, in the distance, Necro, who was locked in a fierce battle with Xue Yinzhou, suddenly froze in his actions.

He saw his own figure slowly dissipating and his expression darkened as he cursed, "Useless!"

Xue Yinzhou seized the opportunity to strike a black mist at his body, only to hit empty air.

Necro’s figure disappeared without a trace.

Xue Yinzhou was shocked, instinctively wanting to chase after him, when her wrist’s Light Computer beeped with a message from Shen Tang, "Don’t chase a cornered enemy, come back first!"

Xue Yinzhou paused, didn’t pursue further, and turned back to find her.

Shen Li and Xiao Jin returned after dealing with Fu Teng.

Shen Tang had already healed her injuries; apart from her still pale face, she looked bedraggled but was otherwise fine.

She looked towards the pile of ashes that the vine had been reduced to and in the direction Necro had disappeared, voicing a bold guess,

"...That Beastman’s true body isn’t here."

Xiao Jin and the others looked shocked. Who were they just fighting?

"He is the first commander of the rebel army, Necro." Shen Tang’s face looked grim, "I went to the rebel army’s base camp, met Necro’s true body, and could feel that the aura of this Necro is different from before, clearly not as strong as that time..."

Moreover, she had directly teleported from the rebel army’s base camp, which is tens of thousands of kilometers away from here, Necro couldn’t have come here so quickly.

Xiao Jin’s face darkened, interrupting sharply, "You went to the rebel army’s base camp? And even met with that so-called first commander? Shen Tang, are you tired of living!"

In his anger, he called her by name directly.

He interrogated quickly and urgently, "What exactly is going on?! How did you end up in that place? And how did you come to the Chixia Mountain Range? Explain it to me clearly!"

Xiao Jin was simply furious, yet couldn’t bear to scold her too harshly.

What would he do if something really happened to her?!

How would he survive?!

"...One cannot catch a tiger cub without entering the tiger’s den, there was no other way, I’ll explain to you all when we’re back."

Shen Tang rubbed her nose, feeling a bit guilty, "I didn’t just go there to throw my life away, I was actually confident I could get out safely, didn’t expect to run into that vine Beastman."

She sighed, full of regret, "He is the second commander of the rebel army, Fu Teng, this guy is such a good actor! He complained and tricked me into taking him away, and I was deceived, almost getting us in trouble here... I really didn’t expect it, I was too careless."

Xiao Jin reproached, "How many good ones can there be among the rebel army, learn a lesson from your mistake, I hope after this loss, you won’t trust outsiders so easily in the future."

Shen Tang knew she was in the wrong this time, willingly accepting the scolding.

Xue Yinzhou didn’t say much, he reached out and hugged Shen Tang into his arms, confirming that she was okay, and only then did his rampant icy killing aura slightly recede.

But when he saw her covered in blood, especially the few blood-stained holes on her chest, his handsome face darkened again, it was a pity he couldn’t kill that Beastman!

Listening to Shen Tang’s words, he squinted his ghostly purple phoenix eyes, "Necro’s true body isn’t here?"

Shen Tang nodded, continuing, "The relationship between Necro and Fu Teng is a bit complex, can’t explain it quickly. Anyway, Necro left a blood curse on Fu Teng, suppressing his power."

"I guess the ’Necro’ encountered on the battlefield wasn’t the true body, but this part of the blood curse’s power."

"His true body is probably still in the rebel army’s old nest."

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent.

If this speculation is true, then the truth is quite terrifying.

Necro didn’t even bring his true body, just part of his power was enough to rival a Tenth Rank Beastman, and even fought to a draw with Xue Yinzhou, suppressing an Overlord Level Cannibal Ghost Vine from the Death Forbidden Land... The true strength of this rebel army leader is likely beyond everyone’s imagination!

"Uh..." Shen Li had been quiet the whole time, silent as if he was air without a presence. Suddenly, he clutched his chest, stumbled a few steps, and fell to the ground.

"You cunning fox, you’re pretending—" Xiao Jin beside him was startled and took a step back, just about to scold him, only to find he was severely injured and unconscious.

It didn’t seem like he was acting.

Shen Tang’s expression changed slightly, she quickly walked over to check his wounds.

Shen Li was gravely injured, the long battles had caused his wounds to repeatedly rupture more severely, he had long been at his limit, holding on until now purely by will.

Shen Tang checked his heart for an old wound, her heart trembled, was it left by her that night?

No... It shouldn’t be, right?

With her power, it shouldn’t be so severe for him.

Shen Tang’s fingertips curled slightly, her breathing became heavy. If only she could’ve healed him earlier, maybe things wouldn’t have been so dire.

But the damaged flesh near Shen Li’s heart had already misaligned and healed.

The Crystal Core also showed slight fractures.

No matter how powerful the healing ability, it couldn’t repair a Crystal Core.

Her gaze fell once again on the tattered scarlet robe he wore, she could barely make out it was a wedding gown.

Suddenly, Shen Tang remembered.

Today, should have been his wedding day, right?

Did he run here from the wedding?

How did he know she was in danger and came just in time?

Shen Tang looked again at his eight bloody fox tails, usually the fox loved to be beautiful, he cherished his tails like treasures, and now they were in such a state, with one missing.

Fortunately, she had a strong healing ability, as long as the tails were still there, they could be reattached.

But after asking Xiao Jin and Xue Yinzhou to help search nearby, even turning over stone crevices, they didn’t find the tail that was torn off Shen Li.

The system said, [Host, to take you away, Shen Li blew up that broken tail.]

"..."

Shen Tang was stunned, speechless.

Her emotions were a complex mix.

"Tangtang, it’s not safe here, we should leave for now." Saying that, Xiao Jin glanced down at the unconscious Shen Li on the ground, a flash of dilemma on his handsome face.

This cunning fox had once tricked them and stole the Empire’s Earth Core, Xiao Jin hated him to death, but now with this situation, he wasn’t sure what to do, leaving him here seemed somewhat unethical.

Xue Yinzhou just glanced lightly at Shen Li, without much emotional fluctuation, anyway, this fox wasn’t Shen Tang’s Beast Husband anymore, whether he lived or died was none of his concern.

Of course, dead was the most obedient.

Xue Yinzhou turned to look at Shen Tang, waiting for her command.

Kill him? Or take him back?

Shen Tang was silent for a moment before answering softly, "This time the Empire is at war, the Yiyuan Empire sent troops to support us and helped a lot. For the sake of the good relations between the two countries, we can’t just watch him die."

"Alright, then let’s take him back." Xiao Jin quickly slung Shen Li onto his back, then looked back at Shen Tang and Xue Yinzhou, flicking his long leopard tail on the ground, "You two get on too!"

Xiao Jin felt a bit bitter inside, he was truly becoming an exclusive mount.

One leopard ridden by thousands.

Xue Yinzhou held Shen Tang as they sat on his back.

The group left, heading back to the Imperial City.
