Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 649

Chapter 649: Chapter 579: Host, I’m Back

Shen Tang listened to these words, only to feel a chill rush up her spine, goosebumps rising all over her body.

She took a deep breath, forcefully pressing down the trembling in her heart, and continued to ask, "Does she... have her own name?"

Jia Lan pondered for a moment, "She’s probably like those Deputies—artificially created. Her purpose is to replace you, so of course she wouldn’t have a true name."

"If you have to call her something, the people in the lab called her—"

"Number 3."

"Number 3..." Shen Tang repeated softly, her heart skipping a beat, "Number 1... Number 3..."

If she’s Number 3, and Shen Qingli is Number 1,

then who... is the missing Number 2?

A wave of icy fear surged from her soles to the top of her head, leaving Shen Tang numb all over, her breathing unconsciously growing rapid.

Lu Xiao noticed her abnormality, reached out and pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and brushed her hair with his lips, his voice deep and gentle, carrying a reassuring strength, "Tangtang, don’t think too much. With us here, no matter what happens, we’ll stay by your side."

Xiao Jin also set aside his joking expression, cupped her hand against his handsome face, and solemnly said, "Tangtang, don’t be afraid! If anyone dares to hurt you, I’ll be the first to say no!"

Jia Lan also flew over, gently hugged her neck, rubbing his cheek against hers, "Whenever you need me, I’ll come back."

Though a Priest can’t casually leave the Divine Hall, as long as she needs him, he’d drop everything to be by her side.

Xue Yinzhou and Shen Li also gazed at Shen Tang with gentle resolve—now that they’d broken through to Primordial Beast Tier, those Deputies were no longer a threat.

If possible... they even wanted to locate the legendary Star Gate. Only by destroying the Alien Star stronghold completely would all dangers be truly uprooted!

Listening to her Beast Husbands’ comforting words, warmth flooded Shen Tang’s heart, her nose stinging slightly, "Thank you all."

This matter was far from over, but with them by her side, she feared nothing.

Seeing her look like this, the Beast Husbands felt all the more tender toward her.

Their beloved Female Master, such a beautiful and warm soul—why did all malice and suffering always come crashing down on her?

She was carrying far too much...

"Mmm..."

A soft moan suddenly broke the moment’s warmth, and the atmosphere stiffened once more.

The unconscious female slowly woke, gazing around in confusion.

When her eyes swept past Xiao Jin and the others, hope and sorrow instantly welled up inside, and she spoke in a fragile voice, "Ah Jin~ I don’t have any strength at all... woo, can you hug me? I feel so awful~"

Her coy, wheedling tone was maddeningly familiar.

Had it been any other day, Xiao Jin would have been unable to contain his excitement, dying to drag the female to bed and ravish her thoroughly! Just imagining her moaning trembling words that shook him to his very core...

But now, he only felt repulsed, goosebumps crawling all over his skin, rubbing his arms and snapping coldly, "Shut up! Say one more word and I’ll glue your mouth shut!"

The female shrank under his harshness, big, teary eyes brimming and soon overflowing like a broken dam.

She looked plaintively at Lu Xiao, Shen Li, and Xue Yinzhou, but seeing their indifference, she grew all the more panicked and helpless inside.

Watching that face identical to her own display such behavior, Shen Tang felt just as disgusted as the Beast Husbands.

She stepped forward with a cold expression, gathering stronger spiritual power in her palm, and said icily, "Seems you’re just a pitiful tool being used."

Since she couldn’t get any useful information out of this female, keeping her around was nothing but a risk—it’d be better to remove her sooner rather than later.

Feeling Shen Tang’s undisguised killing intent, the woman’s face filled with despair, frantically crawling over to hug Shen Tang’s leg, pleading, "Sister, don’t kill me! I can do a lot for you..."

After Shen Qingli’s cautionary tale, Shen Tang didn’t believe for a second that the woman who’d played Necro for a fool was anything good. She couldn’t be bothered to listen to more nonsense, and was just about to bring her blade down—

Suddenly, a spatial ripple sounded through the air.

Shen Tang couldn’t be more familiar with this—system teleportation.

Sure enough, this female’s body was also bound to a system.

For an instant, countless thoughts flashed through her mind—and something seemed to grow clearer.

Then she remembered something and asked, "Earlier, you said you ’understood.’ What did you mean?"

"In this world, there’s actually power far stronger than Tenth Rank, but in thousands of years of Beast World history, there’s not a single record of Primordial Beast Tier. Don’t you find that odd? The fact that we broke through today means it’s not an innate limit—it feels more like everyone has been shackled by some force, making crossing that threshold impossible."

Xue Yinzhou, rarely so talkative, patiently explained, "Just as I advanced, I vaguely sensed... it was as if a seal existed inside me."

"I doubt I was the only one—it’s probably placed on every Beastman in this world. But Blood Clan blood, combined with their secret arts, seems capable of breaking the seal and restoring our true strength, the power we had before being suppressed."

Xiao Jin stroked his chin and joined in, "What you’re saying is definitely suspicious. Tenth Rank Beastmen are rare, sure, but there’ve been hundreds across all the empires. Yet there’s not one genuine, openly recognized Primordial Beast Tier Beastman in history."

Lu Xiao mused, "Blood Clan blood must be the key—that’s why Alien Star is so desperate to get it."

Jia Lan thought, his father Lunus managed to break through the Primordial Beast Tier without the Blood Clan’s help, making him a special case. It was likely related to their clan’s curse and inheritance rituals.

Shen Li furrowed his brow and pressed his hand to his chest.

Blood Clan blood...

Could his mother have had something to do with the Blood Clan?

If only his father were still here—he would be able to find out more about his mother’s past.

It was as if Shen Li had returned to childhood, his curiosity about his origins burning bright once more.

Who, after all, was his mother?

Was she still alive?

For a while, everyone fell silent, lost in thought.

Amidst that quiet, a long-lost, familiar voice suddenly echoed in Shen Tang’s mind,

[Host, I’m back!]
