Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Chapter 21: Breather

Shen Li turned his head and looked at Xiao Jin disapprovingly, thinking he was teasing Shen Tang.

"Don’t look at me like that, I didn’t do anything."

Xiao Jin let out a short cold laugh. If he really wanted to take revenge on this fat woman, he wouldn’t do something so childish. "She was being stupid herself, climbed up and couldn’t get down."

Shen Li, Jia Lan, and Xue Yinzhou heard this, and their faces all turned incredulous. How did this fat woman get up there?

Now is not the time to worry about such things; the priority is to rescue her. We can’t really leave Shen Tang here to fend for herself.

Shen Li dragged over a thick cushion, looked up toward the treetop, and spoke gently, "Jump down; you won’t get hurt."

Shen Tang didn’t have the courage to jump. She felt nothing while climbing up, but looking down, it must be at least twenty meters! Her legs felt weak and trembled... could this cushion really catch her?

Many beastmen came over to watch after hearing the commotion, discussing among themselves.

"How did Shen Tang, that fat woman, get up in the tree?"

"Could it be she climbed up to avoid a swarm of insects?"

"Her? Fat like a pig, how did she climb up there? Truly baffling."

"Looks like she climbed up but can’t get down, timid and useless. How could she deserve to have Xiao Jin and the others as beast husbands, truly a flower stuck in cow dung."

From the crowd came sardonic comments, and occasional laughter.

Jia Lan, embarrassed, shouted angrily, "Shen Tang, hurry up and jump down, don’t embarrass us anymore!"

An Ya came over to see this ridiculous scene, a look of ridicule flashed in her eyes. She gave Xiao Jin and the others an understanding smile, and softly suggested, "Prince Jia Lan, I have a beast husband who is a flying beastman. Why don’t we have him change to beast form and bring Shen Tang down?"

Jia Lan gave her a glance. Who is this person? Why is she here making a fuss?

Xiao Jin and the others were even more uninterested in giving her another look.

Seeing that no one paid attention to her, An Ya felt humiliated but wouldn’t blame Xiao Jin. Instead, she looked resentfully at the ugly fat figure in the tree, wishing Shen Tang would fall and die.

Xue Yinzhou suddenly spoke, "Shen Tang, behind you—there’s something."

"Ah!"

Shen Tang thought there was a snake behind her, and was so scared that she slipped and directly fell from the tree with a "thud" onto the cushion.

With her over two hundred pounds of weight falling from high, even the cushion trembled and a pit formed. As for Shen Tang, her hair was disheveled, looking utterly pathetic; her clothes were torn by sharp branches, exposing her flabby white flesh. Yet no one pitied her, instead they joked as if watching a ridiculous clown.

"Hahaha, Shen Tang is trying to lift everyone’s spirits by giving us some fun, isn’t she?"

"Look at all that flab; is she what a female should be like? Really makes me feel nauseous rather than tempted."

"What a disgrace. If I were her beast husband, I’d be ashamed to death."

"Serves her right for doing so many stupid things. This is karma."

Even Shen Li frowned with disdain when he saw her state, but he still stepped forward, took off his jacket, and covered Shen Tang to hide the exposed areas, gently asking, "Are you okay?"

Shen Tang shook her head, still shaken but not bothered by the surrounding mocking remarks, only grateful to have survived.

She looked up at the tree; there was nothing there! Realizing she’d been tricked, she glared fiercely at Xue Yinzhou.

Xue Yinzhou gave her an indifferent glance and turned to leave.

Seeing there’s no more entertainment, the crowd dispersed.

An Ya bit her lips, jealousy flashing across her beautiful face. Didn’t Xiao Jin and the others wish to avoid Shen Tang and hope she’d die to be freed?

But why does it seem like the atmosphere with this family isn’t the same as before?
