Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 877

Chapter 877: Chapter 684: Wedding Calamity

The man had a tall and sharp figure, resembling Xue Yansi to some extent, but with long black hair, his clothes were adorned with layers of golden python patterns, appearing mysteriously noble, yet carrying the danger akin to a venomous snake spitting its tongue.

His eyes were cold and alluring, the purple hue darker than Xue Yansi’s, adding a gloomy and enigmatic touch to his aura, along with a hint of sinister chill.

Shen Tang quickly recognized him—

Ghost Snake Royal Family’s Young Master, Xue Jianghan.

While Xue Yansi’s recent fame was widespread, the first Young Master of the Ghost Snake Clan had always been Xue Jianghan.

Before Xue Yansi’s arrival, he was the undeniable heir.

However, since Xue Yansi appeared, circumstances silently changed, and Xue Jianghan gradually appeared less in public, like stars and moon overshadowed by brilliance, he became much more silent.

Even though Shen Tang had stayed in the Royal Palace for some time before, she had never seen this Young Master. Now seeing him for the first time, she thought the two brothers indeed had some resemblance in appearance and temperament.

Xue Yansi’s aura was cold and sullen, yet Xue Jianghan was even colder and more sinister, making people instinctively uncomfortable, wanting to stay away.

The man stood under the layers of tree shadows, coldly watching the search team in the distance, his eyes’ color fluctuating, showing no emotions.

A subordinate approached and reported, "Strangely, I don’t know why Xue Yansi suddenly ordered a thorough investigation of the Royal Palace... But rest assured, Young Master, everything has been arranged as needed."

"All that’s left is to deliver a ’big gift’ at tomorrow’s engagement banquet!"

Xue Jianghan slowly curled his lips into a sinister cold smile, "Good, this Young Master can’t wait for tomorrow, inviting all clans to watch a good show!"

The subordinate beside him echoed, "That Xue Yansi dares to oppose the Young Master, we’ll make sure he faces unimaginable consequences tomorrow."

Xue Jianghan stood with arms crossed, raising his eyes to the dark night sky.

This night is so lively, yet the sky seemed to be shrouded in haze, stars and moon completely hidden, as thick as indelible dark ink.

He coldly smiled, "Xue Yansi, since you block my path, don’t blame me for making you a joke amongst the clans, let’s see how you compete with me!"

Suddenly, shadows flickered not far away, as if a black figure swept past.

Xue Jianghan abruptly turned his head, coldly shouting, "Who’s there?!"

His subordinate answered, "Seems like a stray cat."

...

Meanwhile, Shen Tang arrived outside the palace, recalling the words she heard earlier, her heart couldn’t calm.

Tomorrow’s engagement ceremony, Xue Jianghan has secretly tampered with it!

It’s a pity she wanted to use spiritual power to explore more closely, yet the other party noticed, Shen Tang couldn’t hear the specifics, but she could imagine, tomorrow’s engagement banquet likely wouldn’t be peaceful.

Shen Tang originally planned to leave directly, but after encountering this matter, she struggled internally for a moment, finally deciding to stay temporarily.

At least, until the engagement ceremony is over.

Since Xue Yansi already has someone in his heart, she ought to bless him.

Hope that in the future, everything goes well for him.

The sky gradually lit up, dawn not yet arrived, and many guests were already arriving one after another.

Although it was merely an engagement banquet, the scene was grand and solemn, not at all inferior to other clans’ weddings.

Shen Tang held the invitation, sitting low-key in a corner of the banquet as the Divine Fox Clan Envoy.

On stage, Xue Yansi was talking with the Snake Clan Ritual Officer, pausing his words.

He lifted his cold and enticing purple eyes, looking past the bustling crowd, towards a certain direction in the hall.

However, he didn’t see that figure.

"..."

He frowned slightly, feeling a bit odd inside, unsure if it was disappointment, or something else.

Disappointment?

When the thought crossed his mind, he was startled, then swiftly rejected it.

Impossible to be disappointment, if one must describe, it should be the frustration of thinking he could capture that female but failing.

Xue Yansi originally thought it was just an illusion, but recalling the faint aura he seemed to capture last night, he hesitated again.

He looked again, scanning the aura one by one, finally landing on a male with an ordinary appearance.

He squinted his phoenix eyes, seemingly thoughtful.

At the banquet, guests exchanged drinks and laughter.

All invited were high-ranking members from various clans, people of power and status, faces and figures. Instead of celebrating the newlyweds, they were making use of the opportunity to network and converse.

Therefore, the Ghost Snake Clan attached great importance to this ceremony, organizing it grandly, highlighting the Young Master’s care for his fiancée, and the deep affection between them.
