Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 379

Chapter 379: Chapter 371: The Past Like Smoke

Shen Tang thought: Of course, last time we met it was still an egg. Now, meeting again, my son’s already married!

The Sky King looked at Lu Xiao before her, and her gaze gradually drifted as if lost in memories, "To be honest, I haven’t remembered your father’s old face for ages. But seeing you, those old memories suddenly come alive."

She walked to the table, poured herself a glass of wine, and shook her head with a smile, "I remember the first time I met your father, he was being chased and fell off a cliff, covered in blood. I discovered him while leading a patrol and thought he was some unlucky, destitute civilian."

"I didn’t expect that after taking him back and washing him up, he’d turn out to be a handsome, naive young lad, blushing after just a few jokes. He was quite amusing."

She took a sip of wine, showing a nostalgic expression, "At that time, I was still young, and hadn’t seen his kind before, inexplicably drawn to him, and later... led to having you."

The Sky King suddenly slapped the table in anger, "I originally wanted to keep him by my side, but that stubborn fool insisted on going back to fulfill his loyalties! A check revealed that the Lu Family only had him as the sole heir, and the family had an arrangement for him. In my fury, I directly chased him away."

But soon, her expression softened, with a hint of helplessness, "But the day he left, he cried his eyes out clinging to my leg..." The Sky King spread her arms helplessly, "Seeing him cry so miserably softened my heart, and I ended up letting you go with him."

She scrutinized Lu Xiao carefully, nodding approvingly, "Your temperament resembles his somewhat, but your looks take after me more. Look at these eyes, this nose, clearly my child!"

The Sky King patted his shoulder, nodding with satisfaction, "You’ve grown handsome, physically impressive, and at such a young age, you’ve broken through to Ninth Rank, your father raised you well. Though your mother has three other children besides you, I believe you’re more exceptional than them!"

Lu Xiao humbled himself, "Thank you, Mother, for the praise. My brothers grew up by your side serving you, something I can’t compare to."

"Tsk, why is this child so rigid at such a young age!"

The Sky King laughed lightly and shook her head, liking his earnest and serious demeanor, making teasing all the more amusing, "No matter what, you carry the blood of my Golden Feathered Roc lineage. I wanted to bring you by my side a long time ago, but your father stubbornly refused, fearing I’d take you away."

"That old guy dared come over to see me a few months ago, I couldn’t be bothered to meet him, just had him chased out!"

Lu Xiao coughed lightly, hurriedly interrupting her chatter, "Mother, we’re here for proper business this time."

"I figured, you arrived with such a formidable entourage, you weren’t just coming to see me alone." The Sky King wasn’t surprised, and openly said, "Tell me then, what’s the matter this time that you need my help, Mother King?"

Lu Xiao glanced at Shen Tang, then turned to look at the Sky King, speaking softly, "Regarding this matter, I should let my Female Master, the Monarch of the Night Glow Empire, personally discuss it with you, Mother."

The Sky King’s gaze finally settled on Shen Tang, her smile slightly faded, her expression casual, "Oh, then please, this foreign Monarch, elaborate." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Shen Tang’s heart sank slightly, it was obvious the Sky King wasn’t taking her seriously.

After all, though she was the Monarch of the Night Glow Empire, the relationship between the Night Glow Empire and the Yunding Empire was akin to a cat and mouse.

Moreover, with the Night Glow Empire currently plagued by turmoil it could hardly protect itself, rendering it insignificant to the Yunding Empire.

She’s able to stand in the palace today likely only as a favor considering Lu Xiao.
