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

Chapter 843: Chapter 666: How Much Did You Miss Me?

Inside the hotel room.

Shen Tang lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to truly fall asleep.

She vaguely felt the cold aura from Shen Li when he left, and recalled the group of bandits they encountered on the way back. Those people seemed to be targeting the two of them.

More precisely, they were targeting her.

Shen Li must have gone to deal with it, right?

Just arrived here and already attracting enemies... sigh, either it’s the people who were chasing him before, or this fox has made a lot of enemies here.

Tsk, could this dog of a man have left some romantic debts?

As Shen Tang muttered in her heart, she couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.

She stared blankly out the window, but after waiting for a long time, he still hadn’t returned. Sleepiness gradually washed over her, and she unknowingly fell asleep.

After who knows how long, a slight noise came from the door.

Shen Li pushed the door open, his body carrying a hint of the night’s coolness.

He looked at the female lying asleep on the bed, his gaze turning gentle.

He didn’t wake her, quietly closed the door, walked over to take off his coat, lay down on the bed, and gently pulled her into his arms.

"Li..."

In her dream, Shen Tang seemed to smell that familiar fragrance, and she woke up in a daze.

Seeing the man had returned safely, she snuggled into his arms with relief, her voice still carrying the soft laziness and slight hoarseness of someone just awake, "Is everything resolved?"

"Yes, it’s all taken care of, nothing major."

Shen Li lightly nuzzled the top of her head with his chin, inhaled the scent of her hair, and said softly and gently, "No one will bother us anymore, and I even ’negotiated’ a good deal that will help with our upcoming actions."

He didn’t go into details about the process, only briefly mentioned the outcome and gains.

"Deal?" Shen Tang became a little more awake, looked up at him with her moist, enchanting eyes blinking, "... Who did you negotiate with? Was it with the people chasing us on the road?"

"Yes, it was with the Divine Fox Clan." Shen Li nodded, reaching out to gently touch the corners of her eyes still a bit moist, his voice deep, "I haven’t been in the Royal City long enough to establish a foothold before they targeted me. They..."

He coughed lightly, embarrassed to mention his unexpected romantic entanglements, simply glossing over, "I have some grudges with the Divine Fox Clan, those assassins were sent by them, but now it’s been settled, they shouldn’t make a move again."

The Divine Fox Clan, huh.

Although Shen Tang just arrived in the Royal City, she had somewhat learned that the Divine Fox Clan was a major royal family here with significant power, not easy to provoke.

Hearing the first part, her heart had tightened, but after he finished, she relaxed a bit.

She reached out to wrap around the man’s lean waist, snuggling into his embrace with a muffled voice, "Then what is this deal you’re talking about?"

"Early next month, the Divine Fox Clan is holding an inheritance ceremony, and I plan to participate."

Shen Li explained, "We currently know too little about the ’Hand of Creation,’ and the only way to access inside information is through the top ranks of the clans."

"I want to use this opportunity to try, maybe... I can find out news about my mother."

Shen Tang’s heart trembled, somewhat surprised that Shen Li would make such a daring decision.

Yet, thinking carefully, it made sense.

Speaking of Shen Li’s mother, it was unimaginable that she was actually from the Blood Clan, unfortunately, she was captured over twenty years ago, and it’s unknown whether this lady is still alive.

If she is still alive, she would be the only surviving member of the Blood Clan in the world.

A real Blood Clan Beastman, who must know secrets far beyond historical records.

Could the Blood Clan still be hiding more unknown matters?

Though the Blood Clan has fallen, Shen Tang always felt they had more secrets. Unfortunately, there is no one left to provide answers now.

"Li, do whatever you need to do, don’t worry about me, but make sure to protect yourself." Although Shen Li spoke lightly, Shen Tang could imagine the process must be filled with danger.

He, an outsider, trying to enter the Divine Fox Clan and surpass other prodigies to seize that position, was almost impossible.

Even if he had enough power, those elders wouldn’t easily allow it; they might even secretly sabotage.

Not to mention the unknown dangers surrounding the ’Hand of Creation.’

Shen Tang doesn’t ask for anything else now, nor does she want to save the world, she only hopes her family by her side can return safely, and they can reunite.

Shen Li looked down at her eyes filled with deep worry and tenderness, and his heart softened.

He reached out his long fingers, gently pinched her cheek, and chuckled softly, "Alright, but... someone should be more worried about themselves first, I didn’t get myself on a wanted list."
