Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 433

Chapter 433: Chapter 422: Your Majesty Gave You the Blood Soul Pearl?!

On the way back, Shen Tang explained the general course of events to Xiao Jin and Xue Yinzhou in detail, and quickly contacted the anxious Lu Xiao and Jia Lan who were waiting for news, reporting their safety to avoid needless worry.

Shen Li’s injury was too severe, so Shen Tang helped him with preliminary bandage treatment on the way, preventing the injury from worsening. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Upon returning to their residence in the Imperial City, Shen Tang asked Xiao Jin to tidy up the room Shen Li had stayed in before, to settle him, assist in cleaning his wounds, and commence comprehensive healing.

The external injuries, although appearing tragic, were the easiest to treat.

Shen Li’s power was excessively depleted; even after treatment he remained comatose, not waking.

In the evening, Shen Tang sat beside the bed, her own power greatly exhausted, her complexion slightly wan, rubbing her temples wearily.

"Tangtang, take a rest for a moment, I’ll watch here," Jia Lan handed her a cup of water.

"I’m fine, you go handle your own things first, Shen Li’s condition is still unclear, I need to personally oversee him."

"Okay, call me if anything happens," Jia Lan left first.

The sun set in the west, dusk fell.

The afterglow shone in from the window, Shen Tang gazed at the comatose man on the bed, unable to look away for a moment.

He had changed into a simple white robe, his red long hair scattered across the bed, his complexion not as pale as before, his features exquisitely beautiful, with a high nose bridge and delicate lips tinged with red, an alluring charm that captivated her, making her imagine how beautiful he would be on the day he wore his wedding clothes.

Surely.

Breathtaking and splendidly resplendent.

Shen Tang paused for a moment, retracting her gaze, looking at the eight powerless fox tails hanging behind him, a twinge of bitterness and complex emotions stirred in her heart.

Originally, they had nothing to do with each other, why did he come over.

Still, to save her, he ended up in such a sorry state.

Shen Tang inquired the system in her mind, "Can his broken tail grow back?"

The system replied, [I am not entirely sure, theoretically the host possesses top-level Healing Ability, capable of reviving the dead and regrowing flesh; resurrecting a tail should not be an issue.]

[But the peculiarity lies in the Nine-tailed Fox Clan’s tails being special; each tail stores their Origin Energy, not simply regrowing flesh, merely using a Healing Ability to grow a tail might be challenging.]

[Nonetheless, the host can first use the Healing Ability to gradually nourish it, maybe it will have some effect; even if the tail doesn’t grow, it will benefit his body.]

Shen Tang agreed with the system’s viewpoint, planning to visit him daily to assist with healing, seeing if it proves effective over time.

Night was falling as Shen Tang just stood up to leave, encountering Qiu Yang rushing over.

Upon learning Shen Li returned to the city heavily injured, Qiu Yang came back from the battlefield overnight, "Your Majesty is injured? What happened? How could this happen!"

Shen Tang reassured, "Rest assured, his condition is stabilizing now, just power depleted causing him to remain comatose, needing good rest, don’t go disturb him yet."

Qiu Yang gazed worriedly towards the room, voice trembling slightly, "But I heard Major General Xiao Jin say, Your Majesty... really lost a tail."

Shen Tang was silent for a few seconds, nodding, "He fought with two commanders of the rebel army, accidently sustaining heavy injuries, losing a tail."

Listening to these words, Shen Tang stood still, covering her heart in a daze, subconsciously asking, "Then, what if he merges this Blood Soul Pearl into another person’s body? What does that person... feel? Why would he do this?"

"Only a fool would do that! Once the Blood Soul Pearl is merged into someone else, it can never be retrieved again for life, moreover if the other party is hurt, he would experience it too; unless truly placing the other’s life above his own, such foolishness is impossible!"

Qiu Yang sighed, "In my long life, I’ve only seen the late Emperor, when Your Majesty was young, merge his own Blood Soul Pearl into his heart, protecting him for a lifetime."

"The late Emperor’s deep parental affection for Your Majesty was unmatched by outsiders."

Shen Tang, feeling lost, stood still, a pang of bitterness from her heart vined around as though a large hand tightly clutched her heart, leaving her breathless.

So that’s how it is.

"But, why do you suddenly ask about this matter?"

Qiu Yang, puzzled, looked at Shen Tang, suddenly pale on realizing,

His fingers trembled, pointing at her, "Could it be Your Majesty gave you the Blood Soul Pearl?!"

Shen Tang nodded, her face growing paler, "That night, when he came over, he returned this Blood Soul Pearl to me, even merging it into my heart, I didn’t know what he intended to do at that time; I thought he wanted to kill me, I didn’t expect he would act like this..."

Qiu Yang seemed struck by lightning, suddenly losing strength, collapsing to the ground, "How could this happen..."

"So that’s how it was, so this is how it is..."

He seemed to recall something, expression filled with regret, muttering, "It’s my fault, it’s all my fault..."
