Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173: Chapter 167: When a Dream Is Beautiful Enough, It Becomes Reality

Shen Tang entered the room and saw that Xue Yinzhou had not yet woken up.

She pulled a chair to the bedside and sat down, looking at the unconscious man, her feelings a complex tangle.

In her mind, images of him trying to kill her multiple times in the past flashed, but at the same time, she remembered the scene where he was seriously injured saving her in the spatial realm, along with the half-month of interaction with the little snake in the Spiritual Illusion Realm.

For a moment, her heart was in turmoil, unable to decipher the man’s thoughts.

The system scrutinized the fluctuation in the host’s heartbeat and tentatively suggested, "Host, are you sure you don’t want to reconsider making Xue Yinzhou a target for strategy again?"

Shen Tang appeared hesitant.

Xue Yinzhou had saved her life, which somewhat canceled out the harm he had done to her in the past. Besides, she no longer sensed that kind of murderous intent from him now.

After all, they hadn’t signed a divorce agreement. As long as he didn’t go crazy like before, it wasn’t impossible to restore their alliance as partners.

However, Shen Tang was still hesitant about whether to initiate the strategy-bound relationship again.

She knew that if she reconnected this time, the greedy system would definitely not easily unbind them again.

The little white snake in the illusion was obedient and adorable, but ultimately different from the real entity; she couldn’t quite grasp the true thoughts of the real Xue Yinzhou.

Both enemy and friend.

In her heart, he still existed in a gray area.

The system noticed her hesitation but didn’t receive an outright rejection.

Hesitation meant there was still a possibility of reactivation!

The system was almost like a persuasive procuress, its urging more proactive, "Time waits for no one, Host. If you miss this opportunity, it won’t come again. On the other side, female lead Shen Qingli is ready to stir trouble and eager to undermine you! If you don’t compete, this Snake Beast might just join Shen Qingli’s camp!"

"Not to mention Xue Yinzhou’s powerful inherent superpower, you probably can’t find a second one in the world. He’s now a Ninth Rank Beastman; if the Host can bring him under command, it would be a great asset. If he stands on the opposition side, he would be a huge threat!"

Listening to the system’s words, a trace of fear rose in Shen Tang’s heart.

No, no, even if she couldn’t become friends with Xue Yinzhou, she absolutely couldn’t become his enemy.

Having him as a partner was dangerous enough; as an enemy, he would be an even greater threat!

She cautiously asked, "Can you check Xue Yinzhou’s affinity towards me right now?"

The system shook its head, "No, Host. Xue Yinzhou is not a strategy target currently, so affinity can’t be checked."

"..."

After much coaxing and persuasion, Shen Tang finally let down her guard and decided to give Xue Yinzhou another chance.

After the last assassination attempt, she was still uneasy. If that black-clad man came back, relying on just Xiao Jin and the others wouldn’t be enough to guard against him.

Xue Yinzhou was equally powerful as that black-clad man, both being Ninth Rank. Having him nearby for protection could indeed make her feel safer.

She needed a powerful Ninth Rank Beastman by her side.

"I will consider it once he wakes up," Shen Tang said, looking at the unconscious man on the bed.

The cold moonlight outside scattered on him, his silver hair disheveled yet attractive, his features cold yet outstanding, with less gloom and more gentleness than before.

Who knows when he would wake up.

Shen Tang yawned, too lazy to return to her room, so she lay by the bedside and slowly fell asleep.

The moonlight shifted, and the man on the bed slowly opened his eyes.

He saw the unfamiliar room, his phoenix eyes showing a momentary bewilderment.

He propped himself up and looked down at his body, finding that all the wounds were healed, without any scars left.

The blood covering him had been cleaned away.

He even wore a brand-new set of pajamas, although the clothes carried a trace of an annoying fox scent.

Beside his ear, a soft and gentle breathing sound could be heard.

Xue Yinzhou turned his head, his silvery purple eyes shrank suddenly, his face showing astonishment, as if in a daze, thinking he was still dreaming.

The female leaned against the bedside, deeply asleep, her long black hair scattered, covering half of her face, the cheek against the inside showing faint red marks, her sleeping face delicately beautiful, the moonlight spread over her body, making one’s heart tremble.
