Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 188

Chapter 188: Chapter 182: Exhausted Outside, Home Stolen

Jia Lan returned home several days after disappearing, looking utterly different from before.

The once luxurious and neat clothes had become torn and tattered, stained with traces of dirty blood, some marks even dark and blackened. His brown hair was slightly disheveled, and that elegant, aloof face was marked with bruises and blood, as if he had been viciously beaten outside.

Usually uninterested in gossip, Lu Xiao couldn’t help but glance a few more times at the young man by the door.

This little Mermaid Prince always liked to offend people with his words. Could it be that someone finally couldn’t bear it and gave him a harsh beating?

Soon, his sharp, greyish-blue eagle eyes narrowed, noticing something unusual.

In just three days, the young prince’s power had skyrocketed, reaching the Sixth Rank Peak!

It should be noted that before Jia Lan left, he was only at Mid-Tier Six, although he hadn’t completely broken through to the Seventh Rank, the speed of his cultivation was astonishing. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Lu Xiao’s mind shifted, and he quickly understood that Jia Lan had been out on a training mission during these days. Unexpectedly, this pampered Mermaid Prince had become so resilient and hardworking, making Lu Xiao internally view him in a higher light.

Thinking this, Lu Xiao glanced towards the upstairs direction, realizing he wasn’t the only one stimulated.

He turned to Jia Lan with consideration, and spoke, "There’s still some leftovers from last night, if you’re hungry, you can heat it yourself."

Jia Lan’s mouth twitched. He had only been away for a few days, but it felt like the atmosphere at home had changed. Since when did this diligent Eagle Beast become so lazy?

Jia Lan wasn’t hungry. He had conveniently taken care of food on the way back. His mind was focused on one thing, "Where’s Tangtang? She should be at home, right?"

Saying this, he was about to go upstairs to look for her.

Jia Lan had worked hard these few days. He deliberately hadn’t treated his injuries, wanting Shen Tang to see his "medals!"

To prove he was a strong and powerful adult male, not some feeble person who couldn’t lift a thing!

Lu Xiao casually glanced at him and kindly advised, "I’d advise you not to disturb them right now."

"Disturb?" Jia Lan paused his steps, frowning as he looked at Lu Xiao. He keenly picked up on the information in his words.

Only now did Jia Lan notice Lu Xiao sitting on the sofa, looking slightly tired, as if he hadn’t slept well all day.

Jia Lan hesitated for a moment, then suddenly his nose twitched, and his face instantly changed.

That sweet, stirring scent of a female in heat, mixed with the detestable scent of a male in rut, intertwined together, made his blood boil instantly. Clenching his fists, his exquisite and handsome face turned black as the bottom of a pot.

Is that dead leopard stealing food, or is that sly fox stealing food?

He’d been painstakingly training outside, getting covered in injuries—

They were having fun like gods here!

Jia Lan was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. Furious, he was about to storm upstairs to catch them in the act!

Lu Xiao immediately stood up to stop him, explaining, "Xiao Jin and Shen Li aren’t home. They were sent out to work, leaving only me and... Xue Yinzhou at home to look after the Female Master."

Jia Lan’s handsome face flashed with astonishment, and he looked towards a certain direction upstairs, in shock. Could it be that Snake Beast?

Honestly, Xue Yinzhou held little presence in Jia Lan’s heart.

He’d been married into this family for over a year and hadn’t spoken much to this Snake Beast.

Not to mention, in the past Xue Yinzhou’s relationship with Shen Tang had been tumultuous, so much so that Jia Lan had almost forgotten about him during his absence.

Even if Shen Tang had allowed Xue Yinzhou to return home this time, Jia Lan had imagined he would continue as a silent shadow like before, never expecting him to step up so quickly while they were away?!

"It’s been more than a day, not sure if it’s over yet." Lu Xiao glanced upstairs again, listening to see no movement, but the Snake Beast’s mating style was peculiar, so he didn’t dare knock, breaking into that scene would be too awkward.

Seeing Jia Lan about to go upstairs, he reminded him, "Don’t think about snatching halfway through, you can’t defeat him."

Interrupting a male doing this sort of thing would undoubtedly be courting death.

Jia Lan choked up, unable to refute.
