Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 231

Chapter 231: Chapter 223: May You Always Find Joy and Peace

Shen Li grew up with Shen Tang as childhood friends, but he had never seen her reveal her beast form.

Shen Tang had never thought about this issue, and Shen Li’s mention of it felt quite strange.

After carefully recalling the original owner’s memories—

She instantly understood the reason.

Ahem, it’s a bit... inconvenient.

"There’s nothing worth seeing, much worse compared to you." Shen Tang quickly changed the topic, turning her head and seeing a vendor selling river lanterns not far away, so she hurriedly pulled him over to buy two river lanterns.

Shen Li felt a bit regretful but didn’t dwell on it too much.

He took the river lantern, his long fingers gently brushing the artificial petals, but seemed hesitant.

The vendor chuckled, "Your Highnesses, have you ever released river lanterns before? These are crafted by folk artisans according to ancient texts. It’s said that river lanterns are quite effective; as long as you write your wish on the lantern and let it float away with the river, your wish will come true. Would Your Highnesses like to try it?"

Adults all know whether it works or not; it’s just a way to hold onto a beautiful hope, enjoying the process is what’s important.

Shen Tang’s wish was to complete her task and go back; she was about to write down her wish when her eyes fell on Shen Li’s charming, handsome face. Remembering Xiao Jin and the others, her fingers hesitated, unable to write.

Forget it, future matters can wait for the future.

Her long eyelashes drooped slightly, and with her chin resting on the pen, she thought deeply and wrote down a line carefully—

"May people last together, sharing a boat in the Milky Way."

Shen Li’s eyebrows raised slightly, casting a subtle glance at the lantern in her hand.

Shen Tang caught his small move in an instant, and quickly covered the flower lantern tightly, looking up at him, "What did you write? Let me see."

"Haha, the shopkeeper said seeing it would make it not work."

"But you peeked at mine!"

"I didn’t see it clearly."

"..." She was speechless, unable to refute.

Shen Tang turned her head, too lazy to deal with this sneaky fox any further.

She walked to the riverbank, squatted down, and placed the river lantern into the rippling water, letting it float away slowly.

Shen Li looked down at the flower lantern in his hand, seeing the words illuminated by the firelight.

——May you have a lifetime of joy and health, even if it’s unrelated to me.

His eyes darkened slightly, his slender fingertips gently erasing the trace.

He picked up the pen and wrote another four words.

——Together with you.

He walked to Shen Tang’s side and bent down to place the flower lantern into the river.

The two flower lanterns lightly touched, separated, and eventually drifted farther apart, disappearing into the darkness ahead, not knowing where they would go.

The night was very dark, and the number of people by the river gradually dwindled. Jia Lan was anxious at the hotel and called to urge them to come back quickly.

Shen Tang was also a bit sleepy and followed the address he sent to return to the hotel.

Upon returning, Jia Lan caught a whiff of the enchanting fragrance on Shen Tang, stirring his emotions.

His Adam’s apple bobbed as he suppressed his romantic thoughts, looking at Shen Li beside him with suspicion, thinking this sneaky fox had taken her to see flowers, but it was autumn now, and the flowers should have almost withered. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Shen Tang glanced around and noticed that Lu Xiao wasn’t there; that pesky leopard was nowhere to be found either.

She called him, but there was no answer.

It was really strange.
