Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174: Chapter 168: She Does Not Understand the Nature of Snakes

A dull collision sound echoed within the cave, as if something heavy was randomly striking the stone walls.

The earth-shaking sound made Shen Tang’s heart race, unable to decide whether to enter or retreat.

"What’s happening? Xue Yinzhou isn’t going berserk again, is he?" Shen Tang frantically questioned the system in her mind.

She had just provided him with spiritual reassurance, so it shouldn’t be happening.

After scanning, the system replied, "It doesn’t look like a mental berserk; he seems to be... shedding his skin."

"After each growth period, when the Snake Beast’s body grows, it will shed its skin. In adulthood, its size increases mainly through strength advancement. The stronger it is, the more robust and large the body becomes... Xue Yinzhou has broken through to the Ninth Rank, his strength has surged, and he’s entering a new transformation period."

Shen Tang felt relieved, as long as it wasn’t berserk.

Listening to the dangerous noises in the cave, she hesitated for a moment and then went inside.

The interior of the cave was more expansive than imagined, with a damp and dark environment, and slippery moss growing on the ground and stone walls.

At the far end, there was a pond.

Part of a snake tail soaked in the spring water rolled in agony from time to time, emitting a chilling noise.

The pond was getting increasingly muddied, with water splashing all over the ground.

A silver-haired man hidden in the shadows heard the footsteps at the cave entrance, turned his head, and spoke hoarsely and dangerously, "Who?!"

Shen Tang met a pair of dangerous snake eyes tinged with crimson blood.

However, it seemed that his eyes were covered with a thin membrane, appearing slightly murky.

More shockingly, Xue Yinzhou’s cold, white jade-like skin was slowly becoming loose like old tree bark, peeling away, creating a horrifyingly eerie scene.

Witnessing this, Shen Tang was taken aback.

Seeing her clearly, Xue Yinzhou’s pupils contracted instantly, almost immediately reverting to his original form, letting out a dangerous roar, "Who let you come over!"

"Get out!"

The man’s voice was as cold as ice, leaving Shen Tang frightened.

Fortunately, she knew Xue Yinzhou wouldn’t harm her now, so she didn’t retreat and stayed in place.

She spoke gently, "Sorry, I didn’t mean to witness this. I woke up in the middle of the night and found you were gone, got worried, and came to check."

"..."

Shen Tang looked at the tense body of the white snake not far away, her expression serious.

She knew that shedding skin made Snake Beasts painful, irritable, sensitive, and uneasy, as it’s their most vulnerable time, and they dislike being seen by outsiders.

But they are husband and wife, not outsiders. As the Female Master, she has the responsibility to provide reassurance.

"Do you need spiritual reassurance? It might make you feel better."

Shen Tang slowly approached it.

The white snake remained silent, seemingly hesitating. Its silver-purple snake eyes gradually became murky, making its emotions hard to discern.

Having received no rejection, Shen Tang felt relieved and hurried closer.

She nearly twisted her ankle by missing the puddle underfoot.

A cold snake tail wrapped around her waist in time, preventing her from a painful fall. The stones in the cave were so hard that she could have ended up with a bruised face.

"You, aren’t you afraid?" the cold snake tail pulled her close, the white snake’s voice softened slightly, yet remained gloomy and hoarse.

It seemed to hide a hint of unease.

Shen Tang swallowed, raised her hand to gently stroke the shedding snake tail at her waist, and spoke honestly, "A little afraid, but it’s alright. As long as you don’t harm me, there’s nothing to fear!"

"..."

The thick snake tail wrapped tighter around Shen Tang, and under her gentle touch, it lightly trembled.

Suddenly, the white snake raised its upper body, its beast form so enormous that, while standing, it was tall as a building level, bringing an immense sense of fear!

Had she not known the gigantic snake before her was an intelligent Beastman, her Beast Husband, Shen Tang might have been scared to death.
