Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 872

Chapter 872: Chapter 681: Alone in an Empty Room

The palace was unexpectedly cold and cheerless, contrary to the warm scene others imagined.

The distinguished Young Master Ghost Snake did not favor unnecessary decorations or ostentation. Aside from basic furniture, almost nothing was added to the hall, and even the air held an unmelting chill.

Luo Ying did not mind these details; instead, she felt uncontrollably excited—this was her first time staying overnight in Xue Yansi’s palace.

After going through so much to get to this point and finally living together, lone male and female sharing a room, it was only natural for something to happen tonight.

She bit her lip lightly, full of determination—she must conquer the Young Master Ghost Snake as soon as possible.

Winning his heart wasn’t enough; she also needed to win his body.

Xue Yansi was currently filled with thoughts of her, and Luo Ying felt that the timing was just right. As long as she had him, he would entirely belong to her.

"Brother Yansi."

Luo Ying looked at the cold, handsome, and upright man in front of her, her heart pounding as if on fire. Her cheeks flushed a charming red, making her look both alluring and lovely.

With affection in her eyes, pure yet shy, she said considerately, "It’s getting late; let’s go to bed early."

As she spoke, she stepped forward, letting her delicate fingers gently fall on his chest, wanting to undo his collar.

Xue Yansi, however, unobtrusively stepped back, avoiding her touch.

Luo Ying’s smile froze for a moment, then she heard his clear and gentle voice, "If you’re tired, go rest. Both the master bedroom and the adjacent room are ready, you can sleep wherever you like."

His tone remained calm, but Luo Ying could hear the implication in his words. Her eyes widened with a bit of surprise and disappointment, and she pursed her lips, "Brother Yansi, aren’t you going to sleep with me?"

She moved closer again, gently hugging his arm, her soft body pressing against him, her voice sweetly tender, "We haven’t seen each other for days, I missed you so much, I want you to spend more time with me～"

Which normal male could resist such words? Especially one who loved her deeply!

But Xue Yansi gently pushed her hand away, his movements gentle yet with an undeniable firmness, "We haven’t officially gotten engaged, living together is against protocol. Besides, my superpower has been unstable lately, I need to retreat for training."

Luo Ying’s heart burned with frustration: who would choose to train when there’s a female by his side, warm and soft?

Indeed, a Ghost Snake cultivating the entire Bone of Devouring, cold-hearted and unfeeling!

But she didn’t want to seem too willful, so she reluctantly pouted, "Alright, I’ll sleep alone then. Brother Yansi, take care of yourself, I’ll be worried otherwise."

"Mm, if you need anything, call the servants, and if there are issues they can’t resolve, call me anytime."

"Got it, Brother Yansi, go ahead and get busy." Luo Ying acted thoughtfully. Once he entered the secret chamber for retreat, she turned and lay down in his bedroom.

His room was clean and simple, without even a trace of human scent, indicating that he mostly stayed in retreat and rarely slept here.

The temperature seemed colder too, enough for Luo Ying, a Snake, to feel chilly; it was too quiet here.

Lying alone on the bed, her earlier excitement had faded.

Luo Ying punched the bed in frustration, thinking she would succeed tonight, yet she was left alone in an empty room!

Feeling regretful and unsatisfied, she could only comfort herself that haste makes waste, patience is key.

After all, she had moved into Xue Yansi’s palace and slept in his bed, which showed how important she was in the heart of this cold-hearted Young Master Ghost Snake.

Moreover, with the engagement soon to be formalized, her position was secure, so waiting a few more days would not hurt.

Thinking this way, Luo Ying’s mood improved, and she gradually fell asleep.

...

On the other side, Xue Yansi went directly into the underground chamber to continue his training.

Everything seemed normal at first, but over time, the Black Fog around him started uncontrollably spilling out, becoming more and more chaotic, like countless threads entwining him tighter and tighter.

Xue Yansi’s face appeared even paler.

He kept his eyes closed, brows tightly knit, with cold sweat trickling down his temples, and a dense, stabbing pain radiated from his heart, disturbing his breath.

In his mind, the face of that foreign female surfaced uncontrollably.

He remembered her appearance, her mournful yet affectionate eyes, her words.

Though they had only met once, everything about her was incredibly clear in his mind, vividly etched.

She called: Yin Zhou.

Who is Yin Zhou?

Was she calling him?
