Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 419

Chapter 419: Chapter 410: Blow on It and It Won’t Hurt Anymore

Dawn was approaching.

Xiao Jin and Xue Yinzhou finally returned.

Both of them were injured, having clearly been through a fierce battle, and they even dealt with a few assassins on the way back.

Xiao Jin shook his aching fist, gritting his teeth, "Damn it, that sneaky fox got away!"

Xue Yinzhou looked even more grim, deeply resenting not being able to kill the fox himself.

His long snake tail swept, throwing the bloodied Qiu Yang into the room, and he looked at Shen Tang on the bed, "What to do with him, you decide."

"It’s all this old geezer’s fault for pulling a stunt midway!" Xiao Jin angrily kicked Qiu Yang, unwillingly saying, "Otherwise, we’d have already caught that dead fox!"

Xue Yinzhou and Shen Li were both at the Tenth Rank, equally matched in strength. Adding Xiao Jin, they were on their home turf, catching Shen Li should have been a sure thing, but that old fox came to cause trouble, making them return empty-handed. Damn it!

Shen Tang glanced at Qiu Yang, who had died protecting his master, closed her eyes, reluctant to say, "Let it be, have a doctor come and heal him first, this matter... let’s just let it go."

Xiao Jin shouted angrily, "You were almost killed by that fox’s claw, how can it just let it go?"

He looked at her pale, haggard face, his heart aching!

His heart replayed that bone-chilling fear.

She had no idea, he almost went crazy!

Xue Yinzhou emitted a terrifying chill; if not eager to return to check on her injuries, he would have already hunted down to the Yiyuan Empire relentlessly.

Shen Tang looked at their expression and sighed lightly, "Shen Li... actually didn’t want to kill me."

Shen Tang explained the origin of the earrings to them.

According to the system, these earrings were forged from a Blood Soul Pearl condensed from essence blood, which had now merged inside her.

Shen Tang could indeed feel her heart nourished by a warm, fiery power!

She was excessively pale due to blood loss, but in fact, Shen Tang felt her body’s strength surpass her past self.

The bottleneck of the Peak of Eighth Rank, which had long been stagnant, broke through to the Ninth Rank in one fell swoop!

The Beastmen sensed the change in Shen Tang’s aura, and after listening to her, fell into silence.

Who knew this fox was so crazy before?

Shen Tang rubbed her temple, "I was a bit reckless tonight, provoked him, anyway, let’s end it here, and don’t bring it up again in the future."

After all, the two of them won’t have any more contact in the future.

These earrings were also given to her by him under the identity of Shen Li in the past.

Let it be a farewell gift from Brother Li.

And not Ji Jiuli.

"Feeling dizzy? Let me massage you." Jia Lan sat by the bed and reached out gently.

Shen Tang shook her head, "I’m fine."

She then looked at Xiao Jin and Xue Yinzhou, waving them over, "Come here, let me heal you first."

Xiao Jin grabbed her hand tightly, frowning, worried and pained, "It’s just a minor injury, you don’t need to use your strength. You now need to recover well, don’t waste your energy."

As he spoke, his gaze involuntarily fell on her chest—though the wound had healed, the thought of the terrifying blood hole still gave him palpitations!

Xiao Jin gently touched it, "Does it still hurt here? Let me massage and blow on it; it won’t hurt."

Shen Tang blushed, giving him an exasperated yet amused look. Were it not for this spotted leopard’s rare sincerity, she would suspect he took advantage of her!

Xue Yinzhou came to the bedside, embracing her, turned to look at Jia Lan and asked, "What did the doctor say?"

Having given the instructions, Shen Tang didn’t dwell on it anymore. Even though the Empire had passed through the most perilous times, many old issues from the previous regimes remained to be resolved, and she had no time to be distracted.

New Expansion City, much like Greenfield City, was a marginal, underdeveloped, and remote city with a small scale and only tens of thousands of permanent residents.

Several scattered small and medium-sized tribal villages surrounded it.

After the chaos of war, most Beastmen lived in hardship, below the subsistence line.

The area’s soil was fertile, rich with rare red soil resources, ideal for planting high-value cash crops such as tea, fruit trees, sugarcane, mulberries, and oilseed trees.

To process and produce a diverse and delicious range of food products.

Shen Tang was ambitious and sought to expand commerce beyond the Night Glow Empire, targeting other countries and regions.

She valued this land greatly, issuing numerous subsidy and support policies.

Many elderly or disabled beastmen unable to hunt or do heavy labor went outside the city to develop arable fields, earning substantial income to support large families without issue.

Many poor beastmen eagerly joined the wave of land development.

As the sun set, a middle-aged beastman wiped the sweat from his brow, planning to end the day’s labor and go home for dinner.

He moved his sore arms, stepping towards home.

Suddenly—

A rotten arm broke through the soil, seizing his ankle!

"Ah—!"

A piercing scream shattered the dusk.

In an instant, his form was dragged underground, leaving only freshly turned soil and signs of struggle behind.
