Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!

Chapter 830: Chapter 660: Her Choice

After months of separation, the two finally reunited, holding each other tightly.

Despite being in danger, this moment felt as beautiful as a dream.

Shen Tang buried her face in the man’s embrace, holding back her tears, speaking muffledly, "Li... this isn’t an Illusion Realm, right?"

Shen Li was always good at hiding emotions, yet in front of his loved one, he couldn’t help himself. His eyes slightly reddened, he lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead, his voice hoarse, "It’s me, I’m here, Xiao Tang’er."

The clear fragrance, the real warmth, all told her this was real, she finally found him.

Shen Tang’s voice choked, carrying a hint of complaint, "Where have you been these days, suddenly disappearing like a puff of smoke?! I was very worried, and thought something happened to you..."

Shen Li pressed his forehead to hers, apologizing softly, "Sorry, Xiao Tang’er, leaving without a word wasn’t my intention."

"I was researching teleportation portals in the Blood Clan’s forbidden area, and didn’t expect it to activate suddenly, teleporting me away without a moment to tell you."

He continued to explain, "The Light Computer from Beast World Continent doesn’t work here, so I couldn’t send any messages to you."

"I wanted to go back and find you, but couldn’t find a way, so I had to temporarily stay with the Ancient Clan, searching for a way while investigating news about the Hand of Creation."

Ancient Clan?

Shen Tang recalled the map in her mind, remembering this place.

Southwest of Hunting Leopard Clan is Moon Wolf Clan, and northeast is the territory of the Ancient Clan. The Ancient Clan has a long history and was one of the earliest powers on Eris Star. Later, the Hunting Leopard Clan, Moon Wolf Clan, and Ghost Snake Clan became newer forces, but despite being low-profile, the Ancient Clan still cannot be underestimated, possessing the largest land on the planet.

To reach Ghost Snake Clan, one must pass through the Ancient Clan’s territory.

Shen Tang originally intended to go there too, but encountered Shou Jin midway, which delayed her journey due to so many events.

Shen Li gently pinched the slim, pale cheeks of the female, eyes full of pity, "Haven’t seen you for days, you’ve lost so much weight."

He couldn’t imagine how much she went through alone, how much she suffered.

Shen Tang shook her head, "I’m fine, I’m just happy to have found you now."

"I didn’t expect you’d come here, I should have looked for you earlier, it’s my negligence." Shen Li sighed, sincerely regretting.

Actually, he had many questions: when did she arrive? What happened during this time? How did she become a wanted person?

But now, clearly, it wasn’t the time for reminiscing.

A laser suddenly shot out from a part of the laboratory, Shen Li quickly pulled her to dodge, Shen Tang also awoke from the joy of reunion, urgently saying, "So many things happened these days, I must get that Crystal Core first, we can talk about other things after we leave."

"Alright, I’ll help you."

Shen Li had noticed the Crystal Core in the center upon arrival, after living with that leopard for so long, he was familiar with the leaked energy, it was Xiao Jin’s Crystal Core.

Unexpectedly, although his physical body was destroyed back then, the Crystal Core remained.

But clearly this wasn’t divine favor, rather someone had deliberately done so.

Yet Xiao Jin’s Crystal Core was here, so who was that Black Panther Beastman outside?

It seemed only by leaving would they figure out what was truly happening.

The laboratory was fraught with traps, defenses beyond measure.

Fortunately, with Shen Li, the two took care of each other, eventually successfully breaking through traps, and obtaining the Crystal Core.

The transparent Crystal Core fell into her palm, emitting a faint golden glow, Shen Tang felt the familiar and warm force, her nose tingling, tears nearly falling, as if seeing Xiao Jin again.

Surrounded by his scent, as if gently embraced by him again, like the warmth of being touched by sunlight.

With this Crystal Core, perhaps her Ah Jin could come back.

Yet, so much time has passed, does the Crystal Core still contain a trace of his spirit? Even the System couldn’t guarantee that revival would definitely succeed.

Leaving the internal laboratory, witnessing the outside collapsed into ruins, scattered remnants, corpses, and bloodstains all over, Shen Tang’s complexion drastically changed.

She searched everywhere but saw no sign of Shou Jin, her voice hurriedly rising, "Right, where’s Shou Jin? Did you see him when you arrived?"

"Shou Jin?" Shen Li reacted, "You mean... the Black Panther Beastman outside?"

He looked at the anxious female, saying, "When I arrived, I encountered him battling a monster on over thirty floors, I helped him out a bit, but... his situation now doesn’t seem good."

The bottom floors had nearly entirely collapsed, all passages blocked, Shen Li swiftly cleared a path, taking her to find him.
