Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 960

Chapter 960: Chapter 725: You’re Not Mute!

So after lunch that day, she was about to speak, "Thank you for taking care of me these days, I’m leaving now."

With that, she took out a large bag full of crystal stones from her space.

There were many precious crystal cores inside, which were extremely important resources for the Beastmen.

Shen Tang didn’t like owing favors to others, so this was considered a repayment for his rescuing her.

However, the man didn’t accept these crystal cores, not even sparing them a glance. Instead, his gaze beneath the mask seemed always fixed on her, as he put down his chopsticks and suddenly asked, "Where are you going?"

Shen Tang was so startled that her hand shook, and the money bag nearly fell to the ground.

Her clear, watery cat-like eyes widened in surprise as she looked at him, "You, you can speak? You’re not a mute?"

The man looked at her wide, incredulous eyes, which rather added a touch of adorable naivety.

His voice seemed to carry a hint of a smile, "Did I ever say I was a mute?"

He spoke with great conviction.

Damn!

Shen Tang couldn’t even find a way to refute him.

Indeed, he never said so...

But, because he hadn’t spoken a word, she thought he was mute!

Shen Tang’s face flushed with red, feeling like she had been teased, yet it seemed indeed she had convinced herself and gave him the label of a mute, which he never acknowledged!

Realizing her mistake, Shen Tang decided to set that topic aside and continued saying, "But these days, I haven’t heard you speak at all."

He paused before simply explaining, "I didn’t know what to say."

Shen Tang thought this guy was too cool and aloof, but indeed, facing a stranger, there wasn’t much to talk about.

"Anyway, thank you for rescuing me, and for taking care of me these days. This is the reward for the trouble I’ve caused you. Please accept it."

Shen Tang’s tone carried a bit of urgency, "I really do have to leave."

Noticing her anxious look, he asked, "Are you going to look for someone?"

Shen Tang, still trusting this lifesaver to some extent, didn’t hide it and nodded as she said, "There’s actually another person with me, a little cub who had just transformed. But midway, we got separated due to danger. I don’t know if he’s been captured, so I must hurry to find him."

The man realized, "Are you going to find that snake beast?"

And Shen Tang found her hand hurt from his grip, she couldn’t help but let out a cry of pain.

He came to his senses and quickly let go, apologizing, "Sorry."

Shen Tang grabbed her reddened hand, gently rubbing it, feeling inexplicably that the atmosphere seemed a bit strange.

But she was too anxious at this moment to think deeply, "Then I’ll be off."

"Wait, I’ll go with you." The man explained, "I know where he is, I can take you to find him."

Shen Tang said in surprise and delight, "Really?"

The man replied, "Do I have a reason to deceive you?"

Shen Tang still decided to trust him, perhaps because he saved her and took care of her these past few days, or maybe... a trace of innate trust she herself hadn’t realized.

"Alright, then take me to find him."

...

Meanwhile, on Little Snake’s side, he had been fighting with the Beastmen of the Ghost Snake Clan. Although his power hadn’t fully awakened, any Beastman who fought him felt his terrifying and formidable talent growing stronger!
