Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 197

Chapter 197: Chapter 191: Just the Two of Us, Air Doesn’t Count

Shen Tang thought, "This is the first time I’m meeting your mother, should I prepare a gift? It’s not good to go empty-handed."

It’s strange to say, but the original owner has never met the Empress of the Sea Country either. During the diplomatic marriage between the two countries, the Empress only sent the Prince; she didn’t show up herself.

Shen Tang could guess that internally, the Sea Country probably didn’t favor this marriage.

Jia Lan casually said, "No need to bring anything. Our Sea Country is rich and vast, we have everything. My mother won’t appreciate what you bring, she just wants to meet you."

"Even so, it’s not good to go empty-handed; it’s always important to prepare some gifts. A small token can express deep feelings." Hearing Jia Lan say this, Shen Tang had an idea in mind.

Ordinary tacky gifts available in the market would definitely not catch the eye of the Mermaid Empress.

Shen Tang thought for a moment and asked Xiao Jin to bring a few large bags of premium rice. Beastmen in the Sea Country probably haven’t seen this before; after all, the picky Prince Jia Lan quite likes it, so the Mermaid Empress should like it too, right?

She also brought a box of inhibitors.

This time, they’re going to discuss trade terms with the Empress, so it’s important to clarify her intentions.

She could use the inhibitors as leverage.

The Sea Country also has many beastmen experiencing mental upheavals.

In this way, both sides can win, and this trade negotiation should go much smoother.

Xiao Jin and Shen Li are also going with her.

Jia Lan refused on the spot, speaking harshly, "You two land beasts cannot enter the Sea Country. I can only bring one person, and I can’t take you both."

It wasn’t easy to secure some sweet time for just the two of them; how could Jia Lan let others disrupt it?

"The factory and market still need you two to manage; you two stay in the city and take care of the home front for me." Shen Li and Xiao Jin wouldn’t be much use going with them anyway. Moreover, these two are the most troublesome in the household, one causing trouble openly, the other secretly. Bringing them all on the spaceship would make the journey chaotic.

Shen Tang then looked at Xue Yinzhou, "The city also needs you to watch over it. In case any spies sneak in, I’ll leave it to you, I feel assured."

Xue Yinzhou’s eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded solemnly, "Sure, leave the city to me, go without worries."

Shen Tang turned to Lu Xiao, this perfect Beast Husband who can drive the ship, cook, take care of people, and is strong enough to protect others; a must-have for home and traveling.

"Lu Xiao, you come with us too."

Lu Xiao looked surprised, seemingly not expecting her to think of him, then nodded and whispered, "Alright, Female Master."

Jia Lan felt a bit annoyed; an extra third wheel in their world of two, who wouldn’t be upset?

However, thinking of how this Eagle Beast is usually silent and stays in the cockpit, barely visible, it doesn’t really matter if he’s there or not.

Moreover, Jia Lan also worried that in case of emergencies, Lu Xiao is stronger and, being a Flying Beastman, can better protect Shen Tang, so he didn’t say anything.

Their world for two, "air" doesn’t count.

Xiao Jin was about to turn into a jealous jar, but he also knew Shen Tang’s decision was right; taking Lu Xiao was indeed more suitable.

The city needed him and Shen Li to stay and watch over, so he nodded and agreed.

Shen Li patted Shen Tang’s hair and leaned in softly, saying, "Xiao Tang, be careful on the road, contact us anytime if anything happens, remember your safety."

After all, this was her first time going abroad, and without them by her side, they were naturally a bit worried.

Shen Tang looked up at Shen Li, noticing a hint of genuine worry in his charming fox-like eyes.

Shen Tang asked the system, "What are the affinity levels of the Beast Husbands?"

[Beep, updating affinity levels for target individuals for the host—]

[Xiao Jin: Like 99

Shen Li: Like 50

Jia Lan: Like 95

Lu Xiao: Affinity 99

Xue Yinzhou: Deeply in love 20]

With Shen Tang’s efforts these days, Jia Lan’s affinity level has increased quite a bit, from like 80 to like 95, almost catching up with Xiao Jin.

Lu Xiao’s affinity level also increased but is stuck at a critical point, needing a breakthrough.

Shen Tang hasn’t figured out where the breakthrough point is yet.

Xiao Jin and Xue Yinzhou’s affinity levels haven’t changed.

Shen Tang slowly yawned, feeling drowsy, and tilted her head to rest on Jia Lan’s shoulder. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
