Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 289

Chapter 289: Chapter 281: Return to the City

Fortunately, the two didn’t fight for long. Perhaps due to previous lessons learned and fear of unexpected encounters on the road, Xiao Jin and Xue Yinzhou soon returned.

Xiao Jin looked disheveled with a handsome face bruised in a spot, barely showing the marks of a snake tail.

Xue Yinzhou, on the other hand, didn’t look quite as embarrassed, retaining his cold and enigmatically beautiful demeanor. However, upon close inspection, some bleeding scratches were visible on his tail, which he quickly retracted, transforming into human form.

From the high sky, Shen Tang couldn’t see clearly, but seeing them rejoin the group quickly, she smiled and didn’t pay much mind.

In the Beast World, it’s quite normal for the beast husbands at home to have little skirmishes. For one, it helps vent their excessive masculine hormones, and for another, it’s a natural instinctual struggle for dominance among males.

The affection from females is one thing, but the male’s prowess is also how they rank themselves in private.

Injuries are inevitable in the process, yet after a night’s sleep, they are lively again the next morning.

Having experienced battles repeatedly, once Shen Tang’s body relaxed, she was exceedingly fatigued. Lying on the back of the Golden Eagle, she found a comfortable position and gradually fell asleep.

Upon sensing the female’s steady movements, Lu Xiao’s sharp eagle eyes softened slightly. He slowed down, leading the group to fly at a lower altitude.

Kongdu City, as the Empire’s second largest city, is only second to the Imperial City in terms of economic prosperity, located southward of the Imperial City, nearly a thousand kilometers away, being the largest economic area in the southern Empire.

The journey there was a bit far, but it had the advantage of being removed from war zones, safe and plentiful, making it the top choice for refugees fleeing the Imperial City.

At the time, nearly half of the Imperial City residents who escaped through the underground tunnel had come to Kongdu City, including almost all of the Imperial City’s nobility.

After looking at the map, Shen Tang found that Kongdu City wasn’t too far from Greenfield City, even closer by about two hundred kilometers compared to the distance from the Imperial City to Kongdu City.

However, one is coastal, the other deeply inland.

If given an opportunity in the future, a commercial line could be developed to drive the economy of Greenfield City.

Of course, that was a matter for later.

Hotels and accommodations in the city were mostly all booked by refugees migrating from the Imperial City.

Supply couldn’t meet demand, and prices skyrocketed.

Most common citizens couldn’t afford to stay and had to find places in nearby communities and villages.

However, matters that can be solved with money are never problems for the nobility.

The Yun Family also booked a manor hotel, surrounded by mountains on three sides, presenting a scenic and tranquil environment.

Two days ago, Yun Han arrived in Kongdu City with Shen Qingli, joining the main forces.

Yun Han, thinking of the fright Shen Qingli had suffered recently, specially chose the best room in the hotel for her, with good lighting, and an excellent view, able to overlook half of Port City from a high place.

Staying at the hotel, with servants especially attending to food and drinks, along with Yun Han’s gentle and considerate care, Shen Qingli’s life was indescribably pleasant and carefree.

She pretended not to know, worryingly asking where Shen Tang and the others had gone, and why after returning she still hadn’t seen her younger sister Shen Tang?

Lin Yu sighed lightly, looking worried, "Your Highness, you and the Young Master didn’t return with the main force, so you may not know. Princess Shen Tang disappeared on the road two days ago."

"The Young Master of the Lu Family went to search for her and has been unheard of since, still knowing not when they will return... alas, let’s hope Princess Shen Tang can return safely." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Shen Qingli looked surprised, then put on a sorrowful and anxious appearance, saying she hoped her younger sister Shen Tang could come back safely, while inwardly she was laughing coldly with pleasure!

It seems Zaxxis did a pretty thorough job this time, finally not failing.

Shen Tang absolutely couldn’t come back alive!

Next time I see her, it will likely be her funeral... no, best if that bitch leaves no bones behind, not even a corpse to be found!

She is to be the rightful heir of the Empire, becoming the most noble Princess, the future Monarch.

Lu Xiao and the others would become unwanted widowers, no matter how outstanding they look or how top-tier their capabilities and statuses are, they would ultimately become devalued second-hand goods, hard to find a noble female of equal status.
