Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 864

Chapter 864: Chapter 673: True Face

After staying in the Royal Palace for a few days, Shen Tang finally figured out the residence of the newly arrived Young Master.

The man’s personality was indeed quite reclusive. Even though he held a noble status, he chose the most secluded and quiet courtyard to live in. Aside from a few guards, hardly anyone dared to approach.

It’s said that the Family Head intended for him to focus on his cultivation, specifically ordering others not to disturb him.

This Young Master was often behind closed doors, practicing, and hardly anyone ever saw him.

Fortunately, after a few days, Shen Tang finally got the chance.

These days while wandering in the palace, she discovered that someone regularly delivers meals and daily necessities.

At noon today, Shen Tang used her spiritual power to control one of the Beastmen delivering meals.

And she finally saw the Young Master.

He didn’t seem to be cultivating today, just standing by the door, lost in thought, mind adrift.

The man had a tall, upright figure and a cool, refined demeanor. Long silver hair cascaded down his back like mountain-top snow—clean yet distant. He exuded a feeling of detachment as though a mysterious barrier separated him from everyone else, carrying a hint of melancholy.

Regrettably, he still wore a mask.

"Young Master, today’s meals from the kitchen are here. I’m leaving them here."

The attendant lowered his head, his voice respectful.

The Young Master glanced sideways and nodded faintly.

The attendant rubbed his forearm awkwardly and began, "Well... Young Master, the Family Head wanted me to ask if you’re comfortable staying in the palace these days? Is there anything you need?"

Shen Tang tried to ask more through the Beastman’s mouth. But the man had no intention of speaking further; he simply said softly, "No need."

Just those three words, yet his voice was as clear and refreshing as jade clashing, falling into one’s ears so captivatingly.

It sent a subtle thrill through someone’s heart.

Shen Tang couldn’t quite explain her feelings, controlling the Beastman to retreat silently.

Not just his figure and demeanor—even his voice was identical. Shen Tang was almost certain this Young Master was Xue Yinzhou.

When next they sent someone, Shen Tang didn’t remotely control again but directly arranged through the responsible Beastman to take on the task herself.

Unfortunately, her luck wasn’t good. Upon rushing over, the Young Master was already in seclusion, and she saw neither him nor his shadow.

Shen Tang initially intended to probe with spiritual power but suddenly sensed something and glanced in a certain direction.

Unexpectedly, someone else was also watching secretly.

...

No one knew there was a secret chamber beneath the courtyard, precisely where the Young Master was secluded.

The chamber was not large, with a slightly elevated stone platform in the center, atop it sat the silver-haired, dark-clothed man.

Numerous floating Crystal Cores surrounded him, emitting varied faint glows. Energy transformed into threads, slowly injecting into his body.

The Ghost Snake Clan’s superpower is the Devouring Power, unlike the common attributes like metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—it has no fixed attribute itself.

Other Beastmen wanting rapid advancement are best served by absorbing same-attribute Crystal Cores, with many constraints. But the Ghost Snake Clan’s devouring ability lacks attribute constraints, turning most energies into their own use.

Thus, their strength breaks through rapidly, yet absorbing too much chaotic energy also makes them prone to backlash.

These airborne Crystal Cores came from various attributes, among them, even a few overlord level Mutant Beast Crystal Cores.

It was evident the Ghost Snake Clan’s Family Head invested a lot of resources into this Young Master.

That black Evil Ghost Mask lay beside his leg at this moment.
