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

Chapter 838: Chapter 663: What Is This Fox’s True Identity? (1)

This coin was clearly extraordinary, with an eye engraved on the back, the pupil slightly sunken.

He gently placed the coin on the stone tile at the other party’s feet.

The antelope beastman picked up the coin, took a closer look, and his drunkenness instantly dissipated, his expression became respectful.

He looked around, set up an energy barrier, and whispered, "Honored guests, please follow me."

Pushing the door open, they entered a room that was also very small, dim like a warehouse.

The antelope beastman triggered some mechanism, and suddenly the wall made a sound, and an iron door slid open beside it.

He took out two gray cloaks and masks and handed them over, "Please wear these, to protect your identities, and then I will take you inside."

After passing through the iron door, they saw the true face of the Star Veil Secret Place.

This was a very spacious underground secret informant black market, with many people coming and going in cloaks, their faces hidden.

The staff also wore masks; the difference was the guests wore black masks, while they wore white ones.

The antelope beastman led them into a secret chamber.

Shen Tang and Shen Li only needed to write their request on a special piece of paper, without being asked anything else.

The process was simple and quick, not even leaving a contact method.

They only mentioned for the guests to wait patiently and come back in three days.

After leaving the chamber, Shen Tang whispered, "They said at most three days, we will definitely get news. Are you sure this is reliable? This doesn’t seem like a legitimate organization."

"Haha, anyway, it’s no harm to try. If we can get the information, great, if not, we’ll find it ourselves."

"A place like Star Veil Secret Place, though only open to specific groups, must have many high-level figures from various powers inside. Such an organization easily infringes on others’ interests, yet its business is so good, I don’t believe it doesn’t have a powerful backer." Shen Tang speculated, "I wonder who founded it, who the owner actually is?"

Shen Li said, "That we don’t know. Those in this line of work must have hidden their identities well, otherwise they’d have been assassinated long ago."

"That makes sense."

"Xiao Tang’er, why don’t you stay for a few days? We’ll plan the next step once we get the news."

As they walked out of the alley, Shen Li spoke, looking at her with deep longing in his eyes.

Separated for so long, he missed her terribly.

Although he had to stay temporarily with the Ancient Clan, spending a few more days together was still good.

Though eager to head to the Ghost Snake Clan, Shen Tang had no leads at the moment, going there would be like searching for a needle in a haystack. Better to wait a few more days; if Star Veil Secret Place truly has accurate information, it would save time.

Moreover, she missed Shen Li too and had a lot to say.

They had just reunited and couldn’t bear to part so soon.

"Okay."

On the way back, Shen Tang sensed someone tailing them.

Soon, a group of men in black surrounded them, clearly with ill intentions!

This group of beastmen were not weak, all at the peak of the Tenth Rank, and their leader was at the Primordial Beast Tier! They wore uniforms, clearly not ordinary robbers, but carrying out a premeditated action, first sending someone to distract Shen Li, while another group advanced on Shen Tang, intending to kidnap her.

However, they underestimated this female’s strength, thinking she was just a weakling dependent on the male, not worth worrying about.

The battle was over in less than five minutes.

The whole group was knocked to the ground.

On the other side, Shen Li also quickly dealt with a few individuals, leaving one alive for questioning.

The beastman trembled with fear, "Spare me! We were just following orders... It was Miss Xin Lian from the Divine Fox Clan who sent us! We have no intention of opposing you, just wanted to kidnap that female, and we didn’t—"

Before he could finish, a fireball engulfed him, turning him to ashes.

Shen Li’s eyes were ice-cold, radiating a chilling aura.

Back at the hotel, Shen Li escorted Shen Tang to the door of her room but showed no intention of staying.

His slender fingers gently tousled her hair, speaking softly, "Xiao Tang’er, you should rest first, I have some matters to handle."

With everything that had happened, Shen Tang indeed felt exhausted; now reunited with Shen Li, she felt much more at ease, as if she finally had someone she could completely trust and rely on.

She relaxed, sleepily nodded, embraced the man’s waist, and pecked him on the chin, her voice slightly sticky, "Alright, I’ll wait for you to come back~"

Shen Li also wrapped his arms around her waist, leaning down to place a kiss on her forehead, "I’ll come to accompany you tonight."

His long, fox-like eyes sparkled with gentle, rippling light, looking at her with a tender gaze like water.

Yet once he left, the man’s expression turned instantly cold, his aura oppressive and intimidating, exuding a fierce killing intent.

Initially, he hadn’t cared about Miss Xin Lian from the Divine Fox Clan at all, couldn’t even remember what she looked like.

But he never expected she dared to target Shen Tang, she truly had lived long enough.

...

Elsewhere, Xin Lian was unaware of what had happened, she was already imagining the scene of the assassins she sent bringing back the female.

She had to let that bitch know the consequences of competing with her for a male.

She had even thought of ways to torment her, feeling delighted inside as she laughed and joked with her male slaves.

A booming explosion occurred!

A streak of fire descended from the sky like a meteor, instantly turning the building into rubble, engulfing the manor in flames.

"Ah!"

"What’s happening?"

"An assassin! Run!"

Xin Lian and the beastmen were stunned by the sudden attack.

In the chaos, Xin Lian saw the handsome figure with red hair, her face lit up with joy, and she shouted, "Shen Li! You’re here to save me, right? As long as, as long as you stay with me, I can give you a noble status—ah!"

Before she could finish, a fire blade struck her!

Her body erupted with a cracking sound, it was the protective clothing given by the Fox Clan’s Family Head, shattered instantly!

The remnants of the flames swept across her face, instantly flaying it, leaving half of her face bloody and disfigured.

Xin Lian fell to the ground, clutching her face, screaming in pain.

Shen Li looked at her with a gaze colder than death, his hand once again gathering a terrifying amount of energy.

Xin Lian finally realized, this man didn’t come to save her, he came to kill her!

Could it be, the people she sent failed?

Those useless fools! Didn’t they claim to be top assassins? Couldn’t even handle a female!
