Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 121

Chapter 121: Chapter 115: Mermaid’s Spirit Manipulation

Shen Tang’s face looked grim.

It can be concluded that these were definitely not the same people who tried to assassinate her before!

This group of assassins were rigorous and experienced, clearly elite assassins who had been strictly trained, unlike those ordinary beastmen who formed spontaneously.

Just the thought of countless eyes hidden in the dark, waiting to assassinate her, made Shen Tang feel like she was falling into an ice cellar, her whole body chilled.

Shen Li sensed Shen Tang’s unease, pulled her into his arms, and soothed in a gentle voice, "Don’t be afraid, as long as we’re here, nothing will happen to you."

Xiao Jin punched the prisoner in the face, leaving him black and blue, with blood all over his mouth,

His voice was icy and deep, "Dare to do something like this under my watch, you really have a death wish!"

Lu Xiao frowned and said, "We need to figure out a way to pry information about other accomplices from him."

Otherwise, they were in the open, while the enemy was hiding in the shadows, which put them at a great disadvantage.

Unfortunately, this guy’s mouth was too tight, no useful information could be extracted, and they had to constantly guard against him biting his tongue to commit suicide.

Jia Lan suddenly spoke, "Let me try."

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

Jia Lan looked impatient and said coldly, "Our Mermaid Clan has a special skill, Spirit Manipulation, which can search his memory."

Shen Tang was taken aback; she had read the original work and knew about the Mermaids’ special skill, with Spirit Manipulation being particularly strong among the Imperial-level Merfolk.

But using the skill would consume a great deal of energy.

Jia Lan had only recently reached adulthood and wasn’t very powerful. He would not easily use this skill, and the original character had never seen him use it before.

In the past, Jia Lan wouldn’t have bothered to deal with this matter, let alone expend his energy to help her find the culprit.

Unexpectedly, he volunteered.

Shen Tang smiled sincerely, "Thank you, Jia Lan."

Jia Lan caught her smile, frozen for a moment, turned his face slightly unnaturally, and said coolly, "Ever since I came with you, I’ve been living in constant fear, not a single peaceful day. I regret marrying over here back then!"

He looked impatient, eager to solve the matter quickly.

Shen Tang pressed her lips into a smile, this Mermaid Prince, with his sharp tongue and cold demeanor, was actually warm inside, and not as dislikeable.

"You all leave first, don’t disturb me." Jia Lan said coldly.

His blue eyes gleamed with a purplish-red hue, during the Spirit Manipulation process, it was crucial to keep quiet, as any disturbance from outsiders could cause a backlash.

The Beastman, upon hearing about Spirit Manipulation, suddenly looked frantic while deriding, screamed, cursed, and struggled with all his might.

But slowly, his movements stopped, his face went blank, and his eyes lost their focus.

As if his soul had been taken away.

Shen Tang and the others left the area.

Half an hour later, Jia Lan emerged from the prison, his handsome and delicate face a bit pale, yet his expression was very grave.

Shen Li inquired, "Did you find out anything?"

Jia Lan nodded, his face growing even uglier.

Xiao Jin, being impatient, quickly asked when Jia Lan didn’t speak up, "Come on, tell us, who sent these assassins? Which aristocratic family in the Imperial City?"

They had guessed more or less that these assassins were obviously not local to Greenfield City, most likely sent from the Imperial City.

Shen Tang had made many enemies in the Imperial City before; those people would love nothing more than for her to perish on the way.

"Not an aristocratic family from the Imperial City." Jia Lan shook his head and said solemnly, "These assassins are Death Warriors from the Imperial Palace, obeying only the emperor’s orders."

The whole place fell silent at these words.

The Beast Husbands all showed different expressions, their eyes cold and deep.

The City Lord was even more dumbfounded; he was merely a small-time City Lord of Greenfield City, never having dealt with the Royal Family.

Unexpectedly, these assassins were sent by the Imperial Palace?!

He feared this would offend the Imperial Palace.

If it brought misfortune to his family, it would be troublesome.
