Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 389

Chapter 389: Chapter 381: Surname Ji, Given Name Jiuli

Late at night, Qiu Yang quietly slipped out of the Imperial Palace and gathered a few trusted subordinates.

"Boss, why are you calling us so late?" A Beastman asked, rubbing his eyes.

Qiu Yang lowered his voice, "I want you to go assassinate the Monarch of the Night Glow Empire."

"What?!" Several of his subordinates instantly sobered up, looking towards the direction of the Imperial Palace in terror, "Does Your Majesty know about this?"

They had been following Qiu Yang all the way, naturally aware of certain inside information.

"Shut up!" Qiu Yang glared at them fiercely, "Can things like this be known to Your Majesty?"

A Beastman’s voice trembled, "Boss, this isn’t a joke... if Your Majesty finds out... we could lose our heads!"

Qiu Yang sneered coldly, "As Hidden Guards of Your Majesty, you should be loyal to Your Majesty. How can you be so afraid of death over such a small matter?"

"But, looking at Your Majesty’s demeanor, he hasn’t completely let go of her..."

"It’s precisely because of Your Majesty’s lingering attachment, we must assist him in severing this ill-fated bond!"

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Qiu Yang’s eyes, "That arrow back then should have hit her. If it weren’t for Your Majesty blocking it for her, that female would be dead by now."

He surveyed the group, his tone chilling, "She is supposed to be a dead person, how can because of this one trivial individual hinder Your Majesty’s grand achievements and make him so indecisive!"

"But didn’t she marry Your Majesty..."

"Ridiculous, simply absurd! Your Majesty is the Monarch of the Yiyuan Empire, a noble and pure-blooded Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, absolutely impossible to marry an Outer Clan female, nor degrade himself to serve one female with other common males."

Qiu Yang said coldly, "You’ve followed Your Majesty for so many years and still can’t see it? His stance is evident by his attitude, a ruler should be detached and cold-hearted, if he can’t bear it... then we’ll do it for him!"

"I was entrusted by the Late Emperor to assist the young Emperor as a loyal minister, everything I do is for the sake of Your Majesty and the Empire! Even sacrificing my life is worth it!"

"A momentary pain is better than a lifetime of pain."

"Once the pain is over, it will be forgotten."

Under Qiu Yang’s indoctrination, the Beastmen stopped hesitating and began to act.

...

The cold winter finally passed, and the weather gradually warmed up.

Budding green sprouts appeared on the bare branches, the sunlight warm on the skin.

With the weather warming up, the Beastmen worked with more vigor than in winter, and all the cities were bustling with reconstruction.

The houses destroyed in the war were almost repaired in the city, and numerous temporary houses and tents were set up outside the city to accommodate the homeless refugees.

Last winter, the heavy snow sealed the ground, and the grains planted in Greenfield City and its surroundings were frozen. Now in spring, the newly sown seeds have broken through the ground, soon to bring a bountiful harvest.

Shen Tang hasn’t been idle during this time, running around various cities suitable for farming. She personally distributed grain seeds to the Beastmen and brought good hands from Greenfield City to teach everyone how to tend the crops.

Even cities not suitable for farming were busy, establishing many factories for ironworking and steelmaking, selling the products to other cities to support their citizens.

The Empire following the turmoil of war was like this spring, full of vitality everywhere.

No longer were there anxious-faced citizens on the streets, everyone was spirited, hoping for better days ahead.

Shen Tang walked down the street, observing this flourishing scene, her mouth involuntarily curved into a smile.

A follower came over, saying, "Your Majesty, it’s reported that unknown pests and diseases have been found on the farmland in the West Suburb, should you go and check?"

Shen Tang’s heart tightened, pest and disease outbreaks can be devastating to farmland.

"Lead me there quickly!"

Shen Tang followed the Beastman outside the city.

In the dense forest, more than a dozen shadows suddenly emerged.

All High-level Beastmen, with a minimum of Eighth Rank power, the leader even reaching Ninth Rank!

These assassins moved aggressively, instantaneously slaughtering all the guards, charging towards her!

"Earth Wall!" Shen Tang’s face changed instantly, calling out commandingly, the ground rumbled to raise several thick earth walls, while full spiritual power controlled Earth Spikes to jab out from tricky angles.
