Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!-Chapter 577 - 537: The Truth (Part 3)

Shen Tang was momentarily taken aback.

Her gaze briefly met the man’s through the crowd.

The cold indifference in his demeanor felt both unfamiliar and oddly familiar, becoming increasingly different from what she remembered...

Liu Ye naturally also saw Shen Tang.

A hint of surprise flashed in his deep blue eyes; even he hadn’t expected that this female would dare to come alone—she certainly had guts.

A smile played at the corner of his mouth, "Tangtang, long time no see."

"Don’t call me that." Shen Tang withdrew her expression, looking at him coldly, with no trace of past affection, "You know very well that I’m not here for small talk, I just want to clarify one thing."

Her clear and sharp eyes stared directly at him, questioning word by word, "I want to know, what exactly happened that day? Why can you control this body?" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Over the past few days, she had also figured it out—it must have been that time when Jia Lan was on the verge of death, and after he awoke that time with increased power, the one controlling this body must have been Liu Ye.

But she didn’t know how his power was released from the Infinite Box.

The attendants in the hall showed astonished expressions upon hearing the bizarre conversation between the two, their faces filled with shock.

What exactly happened between Prince Jia Lan and Your Majesty Shen Tang?

Why has the atmosphere between the two turned so strange?

Moreover, what did Your Majesty Shen Tang mean by her words? What does it mean that "His Highness controls this body"?

The Beastmen who had brought Shen Tang here were even more shocked, suddenly recalling the words she had said on the way, and a strange thought surfaced in their minds.

This thought was like a kite string broken in the air—trying to grasp it but unable to, and they dared not grasp it, making their expressions somewhat peculiar yet fearful to contemplate deeply.

But once the seed of doubt is planted, it’s tough to uproot.

Liu Ye’s eyes darkened, and though his smile still lingered, it had become much fainter, "What is Tangtang saying? I don’t understand."

He cast a casual glance at the surrounding attendants, motioning them all to leave.

The hall immediately became empty, leaving only the two of them.

Liu Ye no longer had to maintain the false affection between the two.

His handsome face lost its smile as he strode toward her, an invisible pressure enveloping her like a thousand-pound burden, almost enough to make her breathless, "Your courage is greater than I imagined."

Even though the man did nothing, just the sheer pressure he exerted on her was like a heavy burden!

Shen Tang’s face turned pale, a bloody taste welling up her throat, but her back remained ramrod straight, unafraid, as she met his gaze, her eyes filled with anger, and a trace of bitter helplessness, "Today, even if I must die, at least let me die knowing why."

Liu Ye looked at her stubborn and clear eyes, yet burst into laughter, "Tangtang, you’re joking. How could I bear to kill you?"

However, the malice in his eyes was undoubtedly clear!

Shen Tang closed her eyes firmly, then opened them, her voice cold, "I just want to know what happened that day. I had clearly sealed your power within the Infinite Box. How could you successfully seize Jia Lan’s body?"

Upon hearing these words, Liu Ye let out a cold scoff, suddenly turned and walked to the stage, sitting in the high seat, leaning back, looking down at her, coldly saying, "Oh? Why do you think I seized his body? Couldn’t it be—"

"That I took back my own body?"

Shen Tang was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, then furrowed her brow and retorted, "This body belongs to Jia Lan! You are merely his second personality!"

Liu Ye, as if hearing the biggest joke in the world, looked at her meaningfully, "I thought you were intelligent, but turns out you’re foolish to the point of being laughable."

"It seems you don’t truly understand the difference between a principal personality and a second personality, so I’d like to ask you a few questions."

Shen Tang stared coldly at him, her hands clenched by her sides, but a sense of foreboding arose within her.

Liu Ye propped his chin with one hand, speaking slowly and methodically, "Since you completely sealed my Curse Power with the Infinite Box before, but my consciousness within his body didn’t entirely vanish and I can still control my own body, why do you think that is?"

"..."

"I can have all of Jia Lan’s memories, but he is unable to share mine; why do you think that is?"
