Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 204

Chapter 204: Chapter 198: This Fish Has Gone Mad!

Jia Lin’s face showed astonishment, "Could what Father said be that matter... But wasn’t that a rumor deliberately spread by someone with ulterior motives? It was proven false long ago, and the Empress personally punished those who spread the rumors."

"If the rumors back then were really false, would Her Majesty have needed to act personally?"

Sivall slowly walked to the window, squinting his charmingly narrow eyes, letting out a series of cold laughs, "Rumors in this world are never baseless; I didn’t believe it either until someone gave me this."

Sivall’s fingers slid on the wall, making a faint clicking sound, as he retrieved a square jade box from a hidden compartment.

The box was carved with intricate runes, seemingly imbued with some mysterious power.

Jia Lin’s pupils shook when he saw it, his voice tinged with shock, "This is something from the Priest Hall?"

The etched patterns on the box represented the Priest Hall.

That was the most mysterious place in the Sea Country.

"That’s right, it’s a treasure I obtained from the Sacrificial Hall."

"But isn’t the High Priest..."

"I got this from another priest."

Sivall opened the box and took out a puppet doll no larger than a palm.

The appearance of the puppet was surprisingly identical to Jia Lan!

Jia Lin was completely astounded.

Next, he watched as Sivall took a long silver needle from the bottom of the box and viciously pierced the puppet’s head.

The lifeless doll instantly seemed to come alive, showing expressions of painful crying, blood tears seeping from its eyes, ghastly!

...

Meanwhile, after dealing with the assassins, Shen Tang helped Jia Lan heal his wounds.

Unfortunately, the scales on the injured part of the fish tail couldn’t recover quickly and had to grow back slowly.

Several patches were bald on that beautiful big tail, and Shen Tang felt heartache seeing it, recalling how Jia Lan had selflessly shielded her during danger, even willing to risk his life for her, stirring some strange emotions within her heart.

Jia Lan seemed unbothered, secretly pondering who might have sent those assassins?

Having lived so many years, he had made many enemies in the Sea Country, both inside and outside the palace, leaving him clueless for now.

Fearing further pursuers, he lost all thoughts of leisurely exploring and led Shen Tang back to the palace.

On the way back, Jia Lan’s body suddenly weakened, and he fell heavily to the ground.

"Ah!"

He curled up, clutching his head, emitting low roars.

Seemingly in great pain.

Shen Tang’s heart skipped a beat, swiftly swimming over, attempting to pull him.

Jia Lan abruptly swung her away, his eyes turning red, shouting sternly, "Stay back!"

"What’s wrong?" Shen Tang frowned worriedly, unable to understand the sudden change.

Jia Lan didn’t understand either; he only felt a severe headache as if a long needle was frantically stirring his brain, causing his body to tremble nearly to madness.

Inside, an even more furious power rampaged, as if throwing him into a furnace, unbearably explosive.

"You... go back to the palace first, don’t mind me!" Jia Lan’s voice seemed bitten out from between clenched teeth, his breath pressing with trembling, no longer clear and pleasant, like the sound of sandpaper scraping.

Shen Tang felt even less assured seeing him like this, unable to possibly leave him here.

The emotions in those eyes were ones she had never seen before. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
