Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 951

Chapter 951: Chapter 722: Benefactor (2)

Shen Tang knew Lu Xiao’s temperament too well. If he didn’t want to talk about something, no matter how much she pressed him, she would never get any sensible answer.

But Wu Wei was different. She was the daughter of the City Lord of Sky City, and Lu Xiao now seemed entangled with that Big Boss. She must know the inside story!

What made Shen Tang even more suspicious was that although Wu Wei was arrogant, the more arrogant people are, the more they care about their reputation. If she said something and didn’t do it, she would definitely feel embarrassed.

If she wasn’t completely sure, there was absolutely no way she would have casually said that Lu Xiao was her fiancé. That tone sounded as if Lu Xiao had already nodded in agreement, just short of formalities.

Shen Tang pressed her lips together, a trace of panic actually swept through her heart, but she was still willing to trust Lu Xiao.

He wouldn’t do this.

There must be some hidden truth within.

Shen Tang originally intended to use her spiritual power to probe into Wu Wei’s memories directly, but Wu Wei’s strength wasn’t weak, being at the Peak of the Primordial Beast Tier just like her.

Forcibly searching her mind not only had a high risk of failure but could also lead to backlash.

It seemed she could only try to trick information out of her first.

If that didn’t work, even at the risk of backlash, she would have to dig out the truth!

Wu Wei, upon hearing this, suddenly realized, "So... you really don’t know what’s happened to him?"

She regained her arrogant demeanor, as if she had caught hold of some leverage, and smirked coldly, "I thought you two were so in love, turns out Xiao didn’t even tell you about his current predicament! You don’t even know what’s going on with him."

The smile on Shen Tang’s face disappeared instantly, and the blade in her hand pressed in further, more blood immediately seeping from Wu Wei’s neck.

Her voice was colder than ice, "I don’t have time to waste words with you. Spill everything you know."

Wu Wei, being the Young City Lord, cherished her life despite her arrogance. She absolutely couldn’t die at the hands of an outsider; that would be a colossal joke.

Feeling the pain and wetness on her neck, she panicked, gritting her teeth, "Fine, I’ll tell you... Lu Xiao has already been controlled by my father. He can’t leave Sky City at all! He couldn’t possibly be with you; he can only marry me, or else my father won’t let him live!"

Saying this, she became rather smug, "Don’t rely on him having such deep feelings for you. When faced with life and death, people are selfish. Why do you think he wanted you to leave?

"I guess, didn’t he also tell you not to find him again? That’s because... he doesn’t want to entangle with you anymore; he wants to be with me!
