Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 201

Chapter 201: Chapter 195: These Are Just Appetizers

Everyone present was filled with suspicion and uncertainty.

It was said that Shen Tang had an ordinary appearance, was useless and incompetent, and had become self-destructive and ugly like a loathsome street rat after losing her spiritual power.

But the female before them was stunningly beautiful, with a unique and cool demeanor, completely different from the rumors!

Empress Jialouluo’s eyes flickered with a hint of surprise, but she paid it no mind, her indifferent gaze sweeping past Shen Tang as though she were mere air.

She looked at Lisa, whose half-face was swollen, and frowned, "What happened?"

"Your Majesty! You must stand up for me. This foreign female hit me without saying a word and pushed me to the ground... Look at my injuries. She is just jealous of my relationship with Brother Jia Lan!" Lisa seemed to have found her lifeline and quickly poured out her grievances.

The Empress turned to look at Shen Tang, her eyes carrying a hint of disdain, "Did you do this?"

Shen Tang bowed in respect and said frankly, "Greetings, Your Majesty. I indeed did this, but Princess Lisa started it first. I merely responded in kind. If Your Majesty wishes to punish, you should punish us both together!"

Lisa glared and shouted angrily, "You wretch, shut up..."

"You’re the one who should shut up! You know full well what you did yourself!" Jia Lan’s voice was cold as ice, and his gaze, devoid of any warmth as he looked at Lisa, made her heart ache as if pierced by a dagger. Her eyes reddened with tears, making her appear even more pitiful.

However, there was no trace of pity in Jia Lan’s eyes, only growing disgust.

He stepped forward, shielding Shen Tang behind him, blocking everyone’s view, and met the Empress’s scrutinizing gaze, speaking harshly, "Mother, Tangtang did nothing wrong. If anyone is to be punished, punish me! It was my failure to protect my Female Master, resulting in her suffering such grievances today. It’s all my fault!"

Jialouluo looked steadily at the two of them, her cool and slender brows furrowing, not understanding what had gotten into her beloved youngest son today.

During his year and more stay in the polluted territory, he had been clamoring every day for a divorce.

The alliance between the two countries hadn’t been long, and as Empress, Jialouluo couldn’t break the alliance so quickly, so she let him stay there with grievances, promising to annul the marriage and bring him back to the Sea Country when he returned.

To be honest, Jialouluo also looked down on Shen Tang. If it weren’t for Jia Lan’s special constitution and the lack of S-class females in the Sea Country, she would never have married her beloved prince over there.

Now that Shen Tang had lost her S-class spiritual power, she was of no value.

She planned to dissolve the alliance upon this return.

She thought their relationship had become extremely strained, but it seemed that was not the case now.

It was rather strange indeed.

Even so, Jialouluo still planned to have them divorced. The Mermaid Clan is quite xenophobic, and she saw no need for her son to marry a foreign princess of no value. It would be better for Jia Lan to marry the most beautiful young female beastman of the Mermaid Clan, namely Princess Lisa, and produce several strong, beautiful pureblood mermaids to add to the Royal Family and create a good story.

"Lan’er, did you forget what I told you in the hall?" Jialouluo’s slightly opened cherry lips carried an undeniable majesty.

Jia Lan’s expression stiffened slightly, and he said coldly, "I told you, I disagree!"

"Oh? Didn’t you say yourself back then that you liked Princess Lisa? I also favored the marriage at the time and wanted to grant you two this engagement." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Shen Tang was stunned. She hadn’t expected the two of them to have an engagement. So Jia Lan had an old flame in the Sea Clan.

She turned to look at Jia Lan, "No wonder you were always shouting that you wanted a divorce before, you never planned to live well with me."

Jia Lan explained nervously, "There’s no such thing. Those were just childish talks from years ago, and I’ve long forgotten them!"
