Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!

Chapter 607 - 551: The Romance of Fireflies (Part 3)

Shen Tang’s hand pressed against his chest, feeling his muscles hard as stone, her expression changing slightly, "Just now... someone was here?"

Xiao Jin sniffed carefully, but unfortunately the air was filled with the scent of their intimacy. His Adam’s apple rolled, and he said in a hoarse voice, "It could be a pollution species."

Although this area had transitioned from a pollution zone to a normal region months ago, and they had combined forces to sweep out the local polluters, there were still some that slipped through the net. However, generally, the threat was not significant.

Their good time was interrupted, leaving Xiao Jin in an extremely bad mood, vowing to root out the disrupting thing!

He slammed a palm to the ground, with thunder spreading like waves, engulfing the entire area, forming a domain.

The next second, Xiao Jin suddenly sensed something, his expression changed.

His long, sharp golden eyes stared straight in a direction, his palm suddenly clenched—splendid lightning shot out like a sharp sword, illuminating the area as bright as daylight.

Unfortunately, it missed.

The thing disappeared.

Xiao Jin’s handsome face darkened.

Although he didn’t see who or what it was, the energy fluctuation and reaction speed were definitely not that of an ordinary mutant species!

The commotion also awakened the beastmen at the base, who rose one after another, watching the distant flashes of lightning, and discussing in whispers.

Xue Yinzhou and Lu Xiao, having fought alongside Xiao Jin for many years, were well aware of the fluctuations of his superpowers. They rushed to the tent where the two lived and, as expected, found no one there, so they immediately came over.

On the way back with Shen Tang, Xiao Jin ran into the searching Xue Yinzhou and the others.

The atmosphere instantly became a bit awkward.

Xue Yinzhou’s gaze fell on Shen Tang.

She lay on the back of a black panther, clothes disheveled, emitting a post-passion aura, and reeking of the dead panther’s scent, especially strong in a particular area.

He hissed, flicking his snake tongue, his snake pupils shrank suddenly, his lower body instantly transformed into a snake tail, and swiftly swept Shen Tang into his embrace.

Simultaneously, the snake tail whipped up again, like an afterimage striking toward Xiao Jin, "How dare you take Tangtang so far away, courting death!"

"Awooooo—" Xiao Jin didn’t dodge this time, taking the hit solidly, and was thrown several meters, crashing into a tree, coughing several times, "I... I didn’t expect this to happen."

Even Lu Xiao was somewhat angered, coldly watching the dejected Xiao Jin without stopping their fight.

This little brat Xiao Jin was too impulsive, daring to take the Female Master so far away for a date.

One must understand, that a male’s vigilance is at its lowest during such times, if they truly encountered danger in the wild, Shen Tang could be injured.

Lu Xiao asked, "What exactly happened just now? Who did you encounter?"

"I don’t know what it was, something like a pollution species, but I couldn’t catch it."

"Pollution species?" Xue Yinzhou’s face turned even colder, wanting to kill the stinking panther.

Xiao Jin said remorsefully, "I had previously cleaned that area, it shouldn’t have any pollution species... This is my fault, my oversight. You can hit or scold me, I accept!"

He closed his eyes, his chest heaving violently.

"Alright, let’s not fight among ourselves, now the priority is to find out what that shadow is." Shen Tang, unable to bear seeing Xiao Jin take another blow, gently tugged on a lock of silver hair that hung down Xue Yinzhou’s chest, softly saying, "I also bear responsibility, don’t be angry."

Xue Yinzhou heard her gentle voice, and his anger subsided slightly.

Although he still wanted to severely punish the panther, it wouldn’t be appropriate in front of Shen Tang. He kept a tight face, his voice low and cold, "Next time, don’t indulge him."

She indulged that panther the most.

Xue Yinzhou didn’t want to admit that he was actually a bit jealous too.

Shen Tang blushed, seeing more beastmen approaching from behind, and quickly nestled into Xue Yinzhou’s embrace. Lu Xiao also retrieved new clothes from his space, wrapping them around her, covering certain marks.

After all, as a ruler, one’s dignity must be maintained in public.

Later, Lu Xiao had Xiao Jin take Shen Tang back to the camp for rest, while he and Xue Yinzhou continued the investigation with their people.

Upon returning, Xiao Jin remained dejected, "I’m sorry, Tangtang, it’s all my fault, I almost put you in danger..."

Shen Tang consoled, "I’m fine now, don’t blame yourself."

But Xiao Jin looked down.

Shen Tang blushed again, gently kicking him, "Lecherous panther, where are you looking?"

Xiao Jin reached out to take off her clothes, but without ill intent, "Let me see the wound... Is it very painful? Did I hurt you?"

He remembered she cried out in pain at that moment and feared she was injured.

Shen Tang blushed even more. Because of a panther’s physiological structure, suddenly stopping halfway could indeed be particularly painful.

"I’m okay, I’ve already treated the wound."

"No, let me see to be at ease."

Shen Tang was speechless, "Are you genuinely concerned, or harboring other intentions?"

With the arrow on the bowstring, Xiao Jin was forced to stop, indeed somewhat uncomfortable, but at this moment he really wasn’t thinking of that, quickly suppressing it.

He spread his arms to pull her into his embrace, "Whatever the case, it’s my fault for not thinking it through... Luckily, we discovered it early, otherwise, if the pollution species approached, you’d be in danger."

He was extremely guilty, even his round leopard ears were drooped in his hair.

Shen Tang couldn’t stand seeing him like this, leaned in and kissed him, "It’s fine, just an accident... But there’s one thing I find strange, that aura didn’t quite feel like a pollution species."

Xiao Jin’s heart chilled, "You mean... a beastman?"

Only their people were nearby here, ordinary beastman citizens would not come here. Who would run so far in the dead of night? Could it be some twisted hobby?

The sky turned pale.

Shen Tang took his hand, "Let’s get dressed quickly, we need to go there again."

When they returned to last night’s location, they found many beastmen gathered there, each with a worried expression.

Shen Tang and Xiao Jin were puzzled, stepped forward and saw that several Purification Tree leaves had started to wither.
