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

Chapter 781 - 639: The Person You’re Looking For… Is Him? (Part 3)

Shen Tang’s heart felt as if it were being cut by a knife. She desperately struggled to break free from the chains to chase after them, but instead fell into a warm, solid embrace.

Yue Lin wrapped her tightly from behind, his voice no longer as cool and calm as usual, carrying a trace of panic,

"...Xiao Fu, didn’t you hear what he said? Don’t follow them, you’ll lose your life!"

"Come with me!"

As he was about to take her away, they were surrounded by hundreds of Leopard Clan warriors.

The Family Head commands that the accomplices of this traitor are to be taken back for questioning!

Yue Lin coldly swept his gaze over them, the Primordial Beast Tier’s pressure pouring out like a tidal wave, instantly forcing everyone to prostrate on the ground.

"The Moon Wolf Clan doesn’t interfere in the affairs of the Hunting Leopard Clan. If you want to forcibly detain me, first consider whether you have the qualifications and if you can bear the crime of igniting a conflict between the clans!"

"This..."

The Beastmen exchanged glances. Naturally, they didn’t dare to oppose the Young Master of the Moon Wolf Clan. This female was just a minor figure; they could return and find some excuse to cover it up, avoiding unnecessary trouble.

The leading commander saluted Yue Lin and apologized, "We apologize for disturbing the Young Master. Please forgive us. We will retreat immediately."

Yue Lin took Shen Tang away.

The female in his arms was still struggling, his heart swirling with a bitter acidity. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear,

"If you don’t want to implicate him, come with me."

Shen Tang’s movements paused.

Yue Lin continued, "As you saw, this time it was Shou He who personally led the team. They will definitely capture Shou Jin. You can’t help, and instead, you’ll become a burden to him."

"Shou Jin facing them still has a sliver of hope. With his strength, he might not escape. But if you are by his side, you’ll become his biggest weakness."

"If you continue to follow, you’ll harm not only yourself but also put him in a dilemma."

Suddenly, Shen Tang fell silent.

She held back tears, quietly lying in his embrace, no longer struggling.

Yue Lin looked down at her, sighing softly,

"So, not just for you, but for him, come with me."

...

Energy walls are set up between each city in the Purification Zone. Even Beastmen with the Teleportation Ability cannot pass through; they can only go through specific city gates.

From the twentieth city to the Royal City, each checkpoint’s inspection grows increasingly strict. Even as the Young Master of the Moon Clan, Yue Lin must gradually verify his identity to continue moving forward.

＊＊＊

The twentieth city, city center advanced hotel.

As the group entered, it immediately caused a stir.

Their appearance and aura were too exceptional, especially the silver-haired young man at the front. His ethereal and handsome features, combined with his noble and imposing demeanor, instantly attracted the gaze of many females in the venue.

Even if they couldn’t recognize his identity, they couldn’t help but hold their faces and sigh softly at his handsomeness...

The female beside him was equally stunning, with a tall figure, exquisite features, fair and tender skin, and radiating a gentle yet noble aura, causing many young males to become entranced, as if pink bubbles floated in the air.

But such a beautiful female was not someone they could gaze upon directly, so everyone only dared to steal a glance, not daring to have any fanciful thoughts.

A rabbit boy in a white uniform, with a delicate appearance, approached with drinks and snacks, sneaking a peek at Shen Tang, his cheeks slightly flushed, respectfully asking,

"Welcome, distinguished guests. May I ask what services you require?"

Yue Lin, "Book several rooms for rest."

"Okay, please follow me to the front desk to check in. Do the distinguished guests require turn-down service?"

"No need."

After completing the formalities, everyone headed to their respective rooms.

Yin Luo cautiously glanced at the two people walking ahead, sensing that since their return, the atmosphere had inexplicably become oppressive.

The Captain was already a man of few words, and now he was even more silent.

Xun Fu was also absent-minded, quiet enough to make one uneasy.

Yue Lin reserved four suites, handing three room keys to the team members, only saying to Shen Tang, "Follow me."

Jiang Mu shuddered, rubbed his arms, and whispered to Shen Tang, "You... take care!"

Having been with the Captain for so many years, he could tell the Captain was genuinely angry this time.

Xun Fu was not only connected with that Mad Beast but also deceived the Captain. The Captain’s current calm facade was nothing more than the calm before a storm!

Yin Luo also patted her shoulder, giving her quiet encouragement, "Xiao Fu, hang in there!"

Having said that, the two of them quickly scurried away, fearing being caught up in the storm.

Shen Tang, "..."

Is it really that scary?

As she walked, she reflected on what she had done, her back growing gradually cold, mixed with a bit of embarrassment.

＊＊＊

Yue Lin sat on the sofa in the living room.

Shen Tang stood in front of him.

The air was stagnant for a long time, neither spoke a word.

In the end, Yue Lin was the first to break the silence,

"Why do you... like him so much?"

His tone was not of the scolding and questioning she expected; it sounded more confused, perhaps even containing a more complex emotion,

"Did you know him before? Why are you... so good to him?"

Shen Tang was stunned, looking at him in a daze, not knowing how to respond for a moment, "I..."

Seeing her hesitation, Yue Lin showed a trace of gloom in his eyes.

He had initially thought she was abducted by the Mad Beast and had worried about her safety. But it seemed his concerns were unfounded; the two of them had a significant connection, like partners.

And there was that kiss.

Remembering that scene, Yue Lin felt a slight pang of bitterness in his heart.

Even as an outsider, Yue Lin could see the affection and love in Xun Fu’s eyes when she looked at Jin.

As a fellow male, he could also tell that Jin liked her too.

Even if Yue Lin was slow, he had guessed the answer.

"That day you said the person you were looking for... was Shou Jin, wasn’t it?"
