Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 865

Chapter 865: Chapter 675: The Bone of Devouring’s Ruthlessness

The next day, the Young Master emerged from the secret room and casually glanced at the table, his pace slightly faltering as if he’d noticed the ring on it.

His expression remained unchanged.

In the next second.

He flicked his hand, releasing a swirl of Black Fog, instantly destroying the ring.

Shen Tang had left a trace of spiritual power on that ring, so the moment it was destroyed, she was stunned, her breath paused for a moment.

Through that remnant of spiritual power, she witnessed the man’s act of destroying the ring.

She tightened her hands, finding it hard to believe, "System, could we have been wrong... is he really Xue Yinzhou?"

The System was also unsure, [The target on the System interface is indeed pointing to him.]

[Although the System can’t track the target over long distances right now, at such close proximity, it can still make a basic assessment of the target.]

[But if he is truly Xue Yinzhou, the affinity interface should have unlocked, yet now ’Xue Yinzhou’s’ affinity value is displayed in a gray locked state, showing nothing... this is really strange.]

Shen Tang couldn’t understand either, her thoughts scattered once again, as if the clues she’d painstakingly found suddenly broke off, her mood plummeting from great heights to the depths of despair.

In the evening, she returned to her residence disheartened, overhearing a few Beastmen nearby discussing softly ahead.

She vaguely heard them talking about the newly arrived Young Master, saying he killed people in the palace today, and Shen Tang’s steps came to an abrupt stop.

The Beastmen conversed in panic:

"Why did the Young Master kill everyone in the palace?"

"I heard he found a spy among the guards, and the Young Master acted directly, leaving no one behind in the entire palace."

"Oh my, this new Young Master is truly cold-blooded, vicious, and tyrannical..."

"Heaven preserve me, may I never be assigned to that palace."

Shen Tang hardly dared to believe what she heard.

Although Xue Yinzhou has always acted cold and ruthless, he never harmed his own people. Those guards, even if not considered his own, were innocent except for the spy, how could he kill them indiscriminately?

This is too cruel!

A Beastman familiar with Shen Tang saw her and sighed, "Ah, you’re really unlucky, taking on such a tough task. Who knows when you might lose your life..."

Shen Tang snapped back to reality, frowned, and asked, "Is the Young Master really so arbitrary? Doesn’t he investigate at all?"

The Beastman across her gave a wry smile, "To the Royal Family, killing a few servants means nothing."

"Rather than go through the trouble of finding spies, it’s simpler to kill the suspects outright. The lives of lower-level Beastmen are not valuable in the eyes of the Royal Family."

"Besides, if the guards didn’t secure the gates and let spies in, they wouldn’t survive the punishment either."

Shen Tang pressed her lips, "That’s how it may be, but casually disposing of innocent people is too cruel and cold-blooded."

Other Beastmen listened, their expressions somewhat odd.

Though they verbally said the Young Master’s actions were too cold and ruthless, they seemed not to see any fault in his behavior, as if they were used to it.

"You know nothing, do you? Isn’t it common knowledge that Ghost Snake Clan people are naturally cold-blooded?"

Shen Tang showed a bewildered expression, "Why say that?"

They glanced at Shen Tang, finding her a bit ignorant but understanding, perhaps new and unaware.

"Looks like you know too little about Ghost Snake Clan. They naturally possess the ’Bone of Devouring,’ a rare devouring superpower in the world, yet such powerful ability also has a hidden backlash."

"The deeper the Bone of Devouring is cultivated, the colder blooded and more emotionally detached a person becomes."
