Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 691

Chapter 691: Chapter 605: Chased by Ghosts (Bonus Chapter)

Entering the house, with the warm fire burning, Shen Tang took off her thick cloak and coat, rubbed her hands together and breathed out a misty breath, still visible in the air.

With an apologetic tone, Lin Xi said, "I’m sorry for the inconvenience, Your Majesty. The cold wave has hit again recently within the Empire. When the weather clears tomorrow, I will personally take you over."

Shen Tang smiled, "Thank you very much then."

Lin Xi, feeling honored and surprised, waved his hands repeatedly, "Oh, not at all, not at all~ Actually, when my father sent me here, I was quite reluctant. I didn’t expect to meet Your Majesty; it’s really a stroke of luck from heaven!"

As he spoke, he looked at her, his delicate and refined face slightly flushed, with a gentle and clear expression in his doe-like eyes, as if they could melt a person, "I guess it’s fate between us. Since we parted last time, I’ve missed you, hoping to meet you again, and finally, my wish came true..."

Xiao Jun’s face darkened, stepping in front of Shen Tang, his tone lukewarm, "Enough! No need for more pleasantries, it’s getting late. See if you can arrange a few more rooms for us to squeeze in."

Shen Tang quickly nudged him gently with her elbow, thinking: He’s a prince from a neighboring country, can’t this stubborn leopard be a bit more polite?

Xiao Jin gave a cold snort, remembering how this deer had been flirting with Tangtang on the Light Computer, blatantly trying to steal her away. The fact that he hadn’t made a move was already quite restrained!

Xue Yinzhou also gave Lin Xi a cold look, not saying anything, but the pressure made the young man’s face turn pale. He swallowed hard and stepped back a couple of steps, giving a dry laugh, "Don’t worry about the rooms. I’ve already sent someone to tidy them up, and I’ll take you to see them shortly."

Shen Tang casually asked, "What about the residents of the city? We didn’t see a single person after entering."

"It’s too cold, everyone is staying indoors. To prevent them from wandering around, I’ve implemented a curfew order and am patrolling the city with the army." Lin Xi sighed, "There have always been few people in the city. Once the cold wave hit, many Beastmen passed away."

"Recently, there have been quite a few casualties, and many residents from small towns and tribes have moved to larger cities, which are safer. Few Beastmen remain in the city, so make sure not to roam outside the city."

"I see." Shen Tang nodded in understanding.

Soon, the rooms were ready, and the sky had completely darkened. Shen Tang first arranged for the accompanying Beastmen to settle down.

"Your Majesty, the rooms here are damp and cold, it’s tough for females to endure. Why not come to my place? I have a spare room there." Lin Xi sidled up, suggesting opportunistically.

Xiao Jun’s fist clenched tightly, feeling a strong urge to punch someone, what to do?

Shen Tang smiled helplessly, "It’s fine, I’ll stay with the Beast Husbands."

She had endured tough times before; she wasn’t that delicate. Just having a place to sleep was enough.

Lin Xi, a bit disappointed, said "Alright then" and, seeing there was nothing else for him, had no choice but to leave.

At night, the cold wave outside was howling even fiercer, with wind whistling in through the small windows. The room was dimly lit; there was no electricity, let alone electric lights.

Lu Xiao raised a glowing orb in his palm, suspended in mid-air, emitting a bright and gentle light.

Shen Tang exclaimed, thinking his Light Skill was truly useful, an essential for home and travel, what a necessary Beast Husband!

She took out some prepared jerky and dry food from her space, and after the family filled their stomachs, it was time to rest, needing to set out again the next day.

The blanket was damp, carrying a musty smell. Lu Xiao retrieved clean and soft bedding from his space and replaced all of it.

As soon as he made the bed, a leopard unceremoniously crawled into the blanket, forming a small mound on the bed. After warming up the bed, Xiao Jun lowly called to the female, "Awoo!"

Come over and sleep!

Shen Tang couldn’t help but laugh, not even bothering to take off her clothes, she directly snuggled into the blanket.

Xiao Jun turned to hold her in his arms, contentedly wrapping her with his four paws. Shen Tang was enveloped in fluff, let out a comfortable sigh, closed her eyes, and quickly fell asleep.

This big bed could easily fit four or five people, though the leopard domineeringly occupied more than half of the space. Lu Xiao, with a good temper, said nothing. Seeing there was space left on the female’s left side, he settled down there.

Xue Yinzhou gave a glance, but didn’t join them in the squeeze. He reverted to his original form, quietly coiled in the corner, and closed his eyes.

The fire in the fireplace crackled, casting clawing shadows on the wall, like they were coming to life, silently spreading toward the female’s bedside.

Xue Yinzhou seemed aware of something, abruptly opening his eyes, his icy purple pupils contracting into thin slits.

But when he looked over, nothing was there, only the fire quietly burning.

He frowned, flicked his tongue, but didn’t detect any unfamiliar Beastman scent.

He lifted his serpent body, gazing toward the bed, noticing the female appeared to be having a nightmare, brow furrowed, murmuring softly, "Don’t come over..."

"Tangtang." Xue Yinzhou immediately reverted to human form, nervously holding her hand.

The icy touch startled Shen Tang awake, exclaiming "Ah" as she opened her eyes to the strikingly beautiful yet worried face of the silver-haired man.

Xiao Jun and Lu Xiao also awoke, seeing her pale face, hurried over to coax in soft voices, "What’s wrong? Did Tangtang have a nightmare?"

"Stupid snake, were you bullying Tangtang while we were asleep?"

Xue Yinzhou wasn’t in the mood to bicker with Xiao Jin, his purple eyes looked at Shen Tang with only concern, his cold, slender hand gently caressing her face, "What did you dream about?"

Looking at her Beast Husbands, Shen Tang gradually calmed down. She patted her chest, still shaken, "I just had a dream, it was so dark in it, lots of people were chasing me, like vengeful ghosts... But it seemed they weren’t trying to kill me, they kept shouting ’Save me’..."

Really baffling.

When Shen Tang was young, she often had such nightmares, but rarely as she grew up. This was the first time since coming to the Beast World that she’d had such a dream!

A system reminder sounded, [Host, don’t forget you have S-rank spiritual power. This might not be a dream, but rather you ’seeing’ something.]
