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

Chapter 848: Chapter 667: Lecherous Fox! Wicked Fox! (3)

He held the small puppet doll in his other hand, leaning down to kiss it.

Just as he touched the cheek, the doll suddenly spoke—

"Um! Li!"

Two tiny hands simultaneously pressed against his face.

Shen Li raised his eyebrows, the little doll spoke.

A low laugh rolled out from his throat, and after kissing it domineeringly, he teasingly said, "No movement for half a month, I almost thought you were fooling me."

The puppet doll’s face seemed to blush, Shen Tang hadn’t expected the connection between her main body and the doll through spiritual power, almost sharing sensations; she could even feel the warm kiss on her own cheek.

A bit shyly, she flew out of Shen Li’s hand, landed on his head, and lightly tapped him with her small fist, "I came to talk about serious matters!"

"Okay, okay, let’s hear it~ Did you find Yin Zhou?" Shen Li smiled indulgently, letting the small doll play with a tuft of his red hair.

"I’ve already reached Ghost Snake Clan’s territory and have been investigating for days. Today, I discovered something new; the Ghost Snake Clan recently brought back a new Young Master from outside, and he possesses the Bone of Devouring! I suspect he is Yin Zhou."

"The Bone of Devouring... If that’s true, it explains why that snake’s power is so unusual."

"Hmm, I plan to stay here to find out who this Young Master really is." Shen Tang asked again, "How are things on your side?"

Shen Li, "In three days, the selection competition begins."

The small doll waved her fist, "Don’t forget to bring me!"

She wants to watch the whole competition!

Currently, Shen Tang couldn’t handle any more surprises; she needed to keep a close eye to prevent any incidents with her Beast Husband.

"Hehe, okay." Shen Li took her down from his head again, squeezed her cheeks playfully, "Why are you so shy? Could it be... when spiritually connected, this doll shares sensations with the main body?"

Shen Tang looked at his enlarged handsome face, stunningly flawless, feeling her cheeks heat up further. She quickly refuted, "Can’t feel anything!"

"What about now?"

Shen Li leaned down and kissed her again.

Shen Tang’s face flushed bright red, about to explode.

Darn fox!!! Rotten fox!!!

...

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The Divine Fox Clan’s selection competition officially commenced.

This was the grandest event for the Divine Fox Clan, held once every few decades. The scene was extremely elaborate, attracting not only internal attention but also countless external eyes.

Numerous high-ranking members from foreign clans came personally, intending to discern the Divine Fox Clan’s future successor and make early plans.

The competition venue was set in a massive circular building, with a spacious central area serving as the battlefield for the contestants.

After the eliminations and several rounds of selections, around thirty youths proceeded to the finals.

Just standing in the center of the venue, they were dazzling enough to spark excited cheers and drumbeats from the entire audience of Beastmen.

Those who could stand here were the favored children of this generation of the Divine Fox Clan.

Looking around, at least they all possessed the strength of the Half-step Primordial Beast Rank.

Several had already stepped into the Primordial Beast Tier, their aura steady and robust, exuding a full sense of oppression.

The three at the forefront broke through to the Primordial Beast Tier years ago and were the favored contestants most likely to win.

The first was Ji Qing, the nephew of the Divine Fox Clan’s Great Elder, possessing high status and strong talent, reportedly about to be betrothed to the Divine Fox Clan’s maiden, Xin Lian. From every aspect, he was the one most likely to secure the successor position.

Beside him stood Wu Guan, a slightly older fox clan youth, appearing more composed and taciturn. Although his background wasn’t as prestigious as Ji Qing, his formidable strength made him a significant contender.

On the other side was a young female named Miao Zi, originating from the Second Elder’s line. Her features were elegant and charming, with a tall figure and long blood-red hair, her hair tips tinged with a faint purple-golden hue, rendering her exceptionally noble. Her strength was also considerable, with a rumored very special superpower, making her another formidable opponent.

With these two present, it’s no wonder Ji Qing felt a sense of urgency.

But upon considering his imminent marriage to Xin Lian, he felt these two couldn’t surpass him.

Ji Qing confidently looked toward the elders’ seats, his eyes flashing with a determined gleam.

All contestants had arrived, yet the competition hadn’t started; the elders seemed to be waiting for someone?

Just as the audience began to wonder, a tall figure leisurely arrived late.

The man was strikingly handsome, with brilliant red hair conspicuously tied into a simple ponytail. Though dressed ordinarily, an indescribable elegance and nobility permeated his every move.

Even the brilliance of the few favored contestants seemed overshadowed by him, the audience’s focus involuntarily drawn to him.

The venue soon erupted; many recognized the arrival— the red fox beastman, recently renowned.

Discussions erupted among the crowd in astonishment:

"Strange, why is he here?"

"Isn’t this an internal successor selection for the Divine Fox Clan? Why is a red fox joining the crowd?"

"Indeed, he’s not on the contestant list, yet... he’s not heading to the audience seats, but straight to the field?"

"Could he be planning to participate too?"

The elders looked towards the clamorous audience, and a deep voice spread across the venue, "Quiet."

The Great Elder explained to the crowd, "Our Divine Fox Clan has always appreciated talented, gifted young individuals. Although this red fox beastman isn’t of our clan origin, his capabilities are evident to all; we specially invited him to participate in the trial."

The audience seats continued buzzing softly. This was absurd! Completely inappropriate!

But with the Clan Leader still in seclusion and the elders already decided, opposition was futile.

And so it was settled.

Ji Qing coldly glanced at Shen Li not far away, his eyes flashing with icy malice.

Wu Guan and Miao Zi also turned puzzled eyes towards the unexpected red fox, filled with incomprehension and displeasure.

However, they said little more, believing an extra participant wouldn’t alter the competition’s outcome.

All the while, Shen Li remained calm, his posture upright yet exuding relaxed casualness, seemingly unaffected by the external buzz.

He had the small doll perched on his shoulder as if it were asleep; he even occasionally reached out to tease it lightly, appearing as though he hadn’t placed the competition in any regard, more at ease than the audience and merely taking a leisurely stroll.

This casual attitude made other beastmen’s lips twitch; was he really here for the competition, or just to stir trouble?

Several elders were slightly displeased with Shen Li’s demeanor but ultimately said nothing. After all, he was just brought to make up numbers, too lazy to bother.

With the Great Elder announcing the start, "Good, now that all the favored ones have arrived, the competition officially begins."

An elder adept in the Space Technique raised his hand, opening a passage in the air,

"Everyone, please enter."

The contestants successively entered the battlefield, their figures vanishing from sight.

Soon, dozens of light screens floated above the venue, each corresponding to a contestant, allowing the audience to see the situation inside in real-time, thus choosing the most suitable successor.
