Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 25

Chapter 25: Chapter 24: Cleansing Scum

Shen Tang’s face was covered with tears and snot, making her already unattractive features scrunched on her bloated face, even uglier.

In the past, Shen Li would keep silent and still harbor a great deal of disdain in his heart.

But now, he didn’t mock her, instead softening his voice gently, "You can call me next time, and in the future, let me come with you."

"Really?" Shen Tang stopped crying, looking at him expectantly.

Seeing her look of surprise, Shen Li also felt a surge of unexplainable emotions, nodding, "Yes."

No matter how much he disliked Shen Tang, they had grown up together since childhood. Now, being her nominal Beast Husband, he naturally couldn’t stand by and watch her suffer such insults.

Shen Tang curiously asked the system in her heart, "Has Shen Li’s affinity increased?"

She had already seen through this fox’s façade of being warm on the outside but cold inside; last night showed his true face, very unempathetic. She didn’t expect that he would really help her today.

[Yes, Host. After the mental comfort you provided last night, Shen Li’s affinity soared by 30. The current affinity is 40. Please continue your efforts to win him over eventually! Obtain his premium gene samples!]

Shen Tang was full of doubt, "What gene samples?"

[...Just that, that something.] The system rarely showed a hint of shyness, [The host will know in due time!]

Shen Tang had a bad feeling, thinking that the system was setting a trap for her, but she didn’t think much of it.

Both remained tacit about last night’s events, and Shen Li returned to his usual gentle and composed demeanor, looking indifferently at the middle-aged Beastman with a broken wrist in front of him. Yan Hui was still lying on the ground, wailing like a ghost, as his accomplices helped him up.

A big, burly male beast stepped out, glaring viciously at Shen Li, shouting, "Pitched battles between beastmen are strictly forbidden within the team; you attacked publicly, violating military discipline!"

Shen Li sneered, "If you are so familiar with military regulations, harassing a female is an even more serious crime; are you unaware?"

Yan Hui, supported by people, stood up, his face ashen and biting down on his refusal to admit, "Who saw me touch her? Don’t speak without evidence! I wouldn’t want this fat woman even if she offered herself! It’s this fat woman falsely accusing me! You’re in cahoots with this damned fat woman! Compensate me! Compensate!"

Shen Li said coldly, "Since you claim to be innocent, let’s go to the City Lord and let him judge the matter."

"Fine, let’s go! I’m innocent, how could I be afraid of you?" Yan Hui sneered, utterly unafraid.

Incidents like this happened too often, even the City Lord turned a blind eye. Besides, he didn’t succeed; at most, he’d be detained for a couple of days as a formality.

The City Lord was in a vehicle, meeting to discuss the next action plan.

Xiao Jin, Jia Lan, Xue Yinzhou, and more than a dozen High-level Beastmen were also present.

Everyone saw Shen Li coming and wasn’t surprised, but upon noticing Shen Tang behind him, they frowned deeply. What’s this fat woman doing here?

"Today, I bring my Female Master here to seek justice for her! She was providing mental comfort to the single beastmen in the troop, but was molested by this Beastman named Yan Hui. There are witnesses, and I request the City Lord to make a fair judgment." Shen Li clarified the entire matter and brought along Yan Hui and his cohorts.

The onlookers, seeing these old Beastmen, showed expressions of disgust. These people were habitual offenders, hardly worth mistakenly accusing.

However, no one thought that Shen Li would specifically bring such a matter to the City Lord.

The City Lord frowned, indicating he understood but didn’t care much, casually issuing a three-day detention as a warning.
