Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 226

Chapter 226: Chapter 218: Mistress?

As they were about to reach the Imperial Military Department.

Xiao Jin, uncharacteristically, did not follow them inside.

He stood at the doorway, hesitated for a moment, and said to Shen Tang, "Tangtang, I have something to take care of, so I won’t be going with you."

Shen Tang was about to ask what it was but suddenly recalled that in the past, the Beast Husbands had mentioned that Xiao Jin didn’t have a good reputation at the military department back in the day.

The upper echelons of the Imperial Military Department had long become a place gathered with the offspring of aristocrats and influential families.

Many people in the military department couldn’t stand Xiao Jin, who rose from the slums as a low-level Beastman, often mocking him behind his back and setting traps for him.

Yet Xiao Jin was not someone to swallow his anger; anyone who bullied him would find themselves repaid in kind.

It was rumored that in one month, Xiao Jin violated discipline multiple times and was involved in over a dozen serious fights, leaving those noble scions beaten black and blue, crying for their parents.

He almost had his military rank revoked!

Due to Xiao Jin’s undeniable abilities, they kept him around.

But Shen Tang could imagine how much harder his future days in the military would be; he must have quite a few enemies there, and he surely didn’t want to meet them.

Shen Tang swallowed her words without exposing his excuse, and gently smiled, "Then go ahead with your work, and message me when you’re done; I’ll come to find you."

"No need, just return to the hotel after you’re done, and remember to send me your location. I’ll head directly back in the evening." Under four chilly stares, Xiao Jin hugged her and kissed her fiercely before leaving.

Jia Lan glanced up at the towering military department building, thinking he had nothing to do with it and had no interest in dealing with those people, then turned to Shen Tang, "You take care of things here first. I’ll go to the hotel to handle the check-in, so you can rest when you’re done."

"Alright, go ahead."

After Jia Lan also left, Shen Tang followed Lu Xiao and Shen Li into the military department building.

Seen from the outside, the military department building had over thirty floors, with the first three allowing unrelated personnel to enter; beyond that, it was locked down.

Without special orders, Shen Tang was also not permitted to go further, so she let Lu Xiao proceed first.

The first-floor lobby of the military department had the most spacious lounge, and the second and third floors had exhibitions.

Shen Tang was quite interested, pulling Shen Li along to the exhibition hall.

After wandering around the exhibition for half a day, Shen Tang’s feet were sore, and Lu Xiao had not returned.

Shen Li took her to rest in the first-floor lobby.

"Whoa, Lin Yu, look over there, there’s a stunning female!"

"Too bad her face isn’t clear, but judging by her back, her figure is ridiculously sexy; it’s mesmerizing."

"When did such a beautiful female sneak into the military department?"

Lin Yu and a few Beastmen were strolling nearby; someone looked in Shen Tang’s direction with astonishment, quietly egging each other on.

Lin Yu looked over when he heard and was also struck by the slender, elegant figure, quickly searching his mind for which noble female this might be.

In a month, it would be the wedding of Young Master Yun and the Empire Princess; it would be quite the event, inviting the Empire’s high society.

Many important figures would be present.

Defense work naturally had to be well-planned without any mishaps. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

So, Yun Han came over today to discuss the site’s arrangements with the military department.

Yun Han had also served in the military department before and had many old friends; at the moment, he was upstairs, drinking and reminiscing with his old friends, while Lin Yu and his subordinates were idling around in the lobby, unexpectedly encountering a beauty.

"What’s wrong with it? Her male is cheating, and it’s none of our business. That bitch dared to anger the Young Master and Princess Qingli, so she deserves a taste of her medicine!" A burly, crude Beastman smirked, imagining how satisfying it would be when the news was exposed, and Shen Tang became a laughingstock in the Empire again.

"Quit stalling, let me do it!"

The tall, slender Beastman beside him opened his Light Computer and was about to record a video.

Shen Li’s fox ears twitched in his hair; he didn’t even raise an eyelid as a wisp of Fox Fire wrapped around his finger, casually flicking it at the sneaky Beastman.

"Ah!"

The flame caught on the tall, slender Beastman’s clothes, instantly igniting them!

The nearby burly Beastman was also caught in the blaze.

Their clothes were devoured entirely by the flames.

In broad daylight, with countless onlookers, the two men turned into two naked guys instantly.

The present Beastmen were stunned by the scene.

Those looking for a laugh didn’t mind, bursting into hearty laughter and quickly pulling out their Light Computers to capture this comical scene.

The two Beastmen blushed with shame, utterly embarrassed, screaming as they transformed into their Beast forms and dashed out the door.

Upon hearing the commotion, Shen Tang looked over belatedly and saw Lin Yu’s stunned group from a distance.

She instantly recognized the identities of these Beastmen from the original owner’s memory.

They were the lackeys around Yun Han.

The white-haired young Beastman at the forefront was Yun Han’s most loyal lieutenant, the Snow Owl Beastman, Lin Yu.
