Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 880

Chapter 880: Chapter 686: Two Serpents Devouring

The clouds on the horizon seemed to have frozen.

The last time the two met, tensions were high, and he even had thoughts of killing her. But this time, the atmosphere was unusually calm, with a hint of unspeakable warmth.

Xue Yansi looked at the gift box, a trace of confusion crossing his eyes.

Just as he reached out to take it—

A cold, deep chuckle came from ahead.

"Dear brother, you’ve run so far, but I’ve finally found you!"

Xue Yansi’s expression changed sharply, instantly shielding Shen Tang behind him.

Not far away, a mass of black fog appeared from thin air, and a tall, slender figure emerged, walking slowly.

His features bore some resemblance to Xue Yansi, but his demeanor was more gloomy and cold. Who else could it be but Xue Jianghan?

At the same time, several figures quietly emerged from the rocky forest, silently surrounding the two.

Xue Jianghan squinted his narrow purple eyes, watching them coldly, his gaze pausing particularly on Shen Tang, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.

As the Young Master of the Ghost Snake Clan, he had seen no small number of beautiful and noble females, but such absolute beauty was a first.

Just looking at her stirred his emotions slightly.

However, was it a misconception? He couldn’t help but feel that this woman bore some resemblance to Xue Yansi’s fiancée.

Their features and shapes were indeed somewhat similar, but not overly so. It was mainly that quality of pure allure. Seen from afar, they were intriguingly alike.

But where on earth had this female appeared from?

Given Xue Jianghan’s vast experience, he quickly understood that this must be the "male" who had disappeared with Xue Yansi from the ceremony, merely using some method to alter his appearance.

Heh.

What a clever trick, even he was fooled!

Looking at the two of them, it was clear they had a long-standing secret affair.

Truly, a match made in heaven!

He sneered, "You think coming here means you can escape? Too naive."

Shen Tang instinctively tightened her grip on Xue Yansi’s sleeve. If it were just those assassins, they might not be too difficult to deal with; though formidable they might be, they may not match Xue Yansi.

But with Xue Jianghan in the equation, it was another story.

Xue Jianghan was the rightful Young Master of the Ghost Snake Clan, impressively gifted, raised with the clan’s resources. His brazen assault was certainly backed by great confidence in his own strength, potentially equal to Xue Yansi!

Yet her own strength was ultimately limited, faced with almost a hundred top-tier assassins, all above the Tenth Rank, including several Beastmen at the Primordial Beast Tier, she feared they could not hold out.

Xue Yansi glanced down at the sleeve she clutched, a shadow flickering in his eyes, yet he did not pull away.

Shen Tang did not notice this subtle change, only lowering her voice to remind him, "Be wary of your brother, everything at today’s engagement ceremony was orchestrated by him."

Xue Yansi lifted his gaze to look at Xue Jianghan across from him, his voice still maintaining its chill and courtesy, "Brother, what is the point of all this? You only bring shame to the family, and Father will not approve if he knows."

"Shut up!"

Xue Jianghan, as if stung, glared at him, "Who is your brother? You, an outlaw on the run, dare call me brother? Dream on!"

Xue Yansi heard this, a hint of confusion flickering in his eyes.

In his memory, he had indeed been hunted, but most of those were his sworn enemies.

Yet Xue Jianghan’s words implied something far more significant.

Seeing his demeanor, Xue Jianghan’s anger further burned, his fists clenching audibly.

He was the real Young Master of the Ghost Snake Clan. The position as heir should have been his by default. Who would have thought Xue Yansi, once hunted by the clan as a "traitor," would suddenly become his "real brother," not only equaling him in status but also stealing the limelight, even with rumors that the clan intended to pass on leadership to him!

How could he endure this?

Father Xue Xiaoyuan had privately assured him, saying they were merely using Xue Yansi to nurture the "Bone of Devouring" in him to its full potential, then they would extract it for him.

But how could that be possible?

Xue Jianghan refused to believe it.

If Xue Yansi’s "Bone of Devouring" were truly perfected, who could possibly stop him? Who could then extract his bones?

By then, he would truly become a discarded pawn.

He would not allow it!

Rather than waiting for that day, it was better to act first, to dig out Xue Yansi’s bones, eliminating the threat to his position once and for all!

Xue Jianghan couldn’t be bothered to say more, directly commanding, "Once this Young Master has personally extracted that bone of yours, you can rest in peace!"

The two sides immediately drew swords, tensions rising.

Xue Jianghan had long planned this, deploying to the ceremony not merely top assassins at great expense, but also his personally cultivated Death Warriors, loyal only to him.
