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

Chapter 839: Chapter 664: What Is This Fox’s True Identity? (2)

This man’s strength is excessively terrifying, and the Hidden Guards in the manor can’t stop him at all.

Xin Lian was both angry and fearful, her face pale, she tried to flee in a panic, but how could she outrun Shen Li?

Just as Shen Li was about to finish her off, several sharp whooshes suddenly came from afar, mixed with angry roars,

"Stop!"

"Who dares to harm the young lady of the Divine Fox Clan!"

Dozens of powerful auras rushed forth, landing around the already ruined manor.

The arrivals were all experts from the Divine Fox Clan, including five elders. They protected the fleeing Xin Lian behind them, forming an indestructible wall blocking Shen Li’s path.

The leading old man’s aura was unfathomable, at least at the Peak of the Primordial Beast Tier Beastman!

He looked at the tragic scene and the barely alive Xin Lian, glaring at Shen Li, "It’s you! That new Fox Clan Beastman! You dare to act so viciously!"

Another elder pressed aggressively, "Our Divine Fox Clan has always been hospitable. Since you arrived at the Royal City, we’ve invited you multiple times giving you plenty of face! Yet you not only don’t appreciate it but even attempt to assassinate our young lady? Are you trying to make an enemy of our Divine Fox Clan?"

Shen Li’s expression remained unchanged, his aura still cold and intimidating. He slightly curled his lips, looking more mocking, "This person sent someone to assassinate my partner. Is this—what the Divine Fox Clan calls hospitality?"

His voice was pleasantly low yet so cold it made one’s heart shiver:

"I think she’s getting what she deserves."

"This..."

The elders’ faces stiffened, looking at Xin Lian’s half-bloodied face.

She was rolling painfully on the ground, dragged away by several beastmen while still screaming, "Ah, my face... my face hurts! Kill him! Kill him!"

They could guess seven or eight parts of the truth but found it hard to speak up, their faces turned ugly.

Xin Lian’s arrogant, impulsive, and aggressive nature was known within the clan. This time she evidently kicked a steel plate. But no matter what, she was the chief’s most beloved granddaughter, and mustn’t die here.

Moreover, the person in front of them was too arrogant!

The elders’ hearts were filled with anger and surprise. No matter what, this new fox was just a highly gifted Red Fox, yet dared to act so openly, clearly not putting the Divine Fox Clan in his eyes!

"But even if she was wrong, she doesn’t deserve to die! Our Divine Fox Clan rules will judge her!"

The old man said in a deep voice, his tone slightly softened, carrying a hint of negotiation, "Since you’ve stopped, you must understand the consequences of completely breaking with our Divine Fox Clan in the Royal City. Why not let it go? Our clan is willing to make compensation, turning hostility into friendship."

Another elder agreed, "That’s right, we don’t wish for more trouble. The Divine Fox Clan has always intended to make amends with you this time."

"Let’s settle this privately; consider it as giving face to the Divine Fox Clan, how about it?"

A calculating glint flickered in Shen Li’s fox eyes. He was always impulsive when it came to Shen Tang’s matters. Actually, he shouldn’t have come so openly today, at least, he couldn’t personally take action in broad daylight. Otherwise, it might immediately provoke the Divine Fox Clan’s relentless pursuit, affecting his plans to stay in the Royal City, and implicate Shen Tang.

He didn’t want Shen Tang to become a fugitive again, just after escaping from there, living a life on the run.

Now that the other party offered an olive branch, it was the perfect time to exploit it.

He slowly withdrew the energy in his hand, but the terrifying aura still locked onto Xin Lian, as if her life could be taken at any moment.

"Compensation?" Shen Li withdrew his cold aura, his lips lifted into a smile as warm as a spring breeze, "Then I do want to see how much the face of the mighty Divine Fox Clan is worth."

"You..."

The beastman opposite looked even worse.

Saying this was meant to give both sides a way out, yet he takes advantage of the situation, pushing inch by inch!

This fox was really impolite, blatantly putting them in a tight spot just to get more bargaining chips!

Yet since they had spoken so far, if they didn’t satisfy him, it would instead make the Divine Fox Clan seem petty and insincere.

The elder had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "What can’t the Divine Fox Clan afford? Let’s see if you’re capable of taking it!"
