Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 424

Chapter 424: Chapter 413: First Encounter with the Leader

For the first time in her life, Shen Tang was teased like this. Her whole face flushed red, and she kicked off her hind legs to leap out of his embrace.

If it weren’t for the fact that this was the rebel army’s lair and the man in front of her was their second-in-command, she would’ve scratched some blood marks onto his face!

"Hahaha, so easy to embarrass, huh?" Fu Teng laughed, clutching his stomach, unable to straighten his waist from laughing, "I was just looking, didn’t do anything to you~"

Shen Tang was so angry that her ears stood up. She turned around to slip away, only to be grabbed back again.

The man rubbed her furry little head and somehow conjured a bracelet with a golden bell, which he slowly fastened around his wrist.

Ding-a-ling—

As he gently shook his wrist, the collar on Shen Tang’s neck immediately made a clear, crisp sound in response.

"This is called a Communication Bell." Fu Teng pinched her curious, perked-up ear with a smile in his eyes, "It’s made from the seeds of the Sound Transmission Flower, and our clever Xiao Gua can definitely understand it, right?"

He said, shaking the bracelet again, "If you run out to play wild again and hear this sound, it means I’m looking for you. Remember to come home, or else..."

He sighed, "Someone will worry themselves sick."

Shen Tang felt a little uneasy inside.

Fu Teng really treats her like a house cat, huh.

Every day, he finds new ways to make delicious food, sews little clothes by hand, afraid she’d get lost... He’s been so good to her that it’s beyond words...

After playing with her in the courtyard for a while, Fu Teng had to go out again for some matters.

Shen Tang immediately found a corner and had the system teleport her back to the Night Glow Empire.

These days, she’s been running between the two sides: acting cute and gathering intelligence at the rebel army’s side, and rushing back home to gather people to discuss defense plans.

Piecing together the scattered clues collected over this time, Shen Tang reached a chilling conclusion—what Fu Teng kept doing in the secret room all day with his regeneration experiments was highly likely to be research on extending the living corpse’s lifespan!

If he actually develops it, it would be a disaster.

The front line situation was even more grim.

Although Xue Yinzhou and the others were desperately holding the front lines, the number of living corpses kept increasing daily while their warriors continued to decrease.

If this continues, the defense line will collapse sooner or later.

They must develop the blood serum as soon as possible!

They couldn’t wait any longer!

When Shen Tang was out gathering information during the day, she heard that the First Commander had just returned to the city a couple of days ago.

What’s even stranger is that Fu Teng hasn’t shown up for two days since he went out last time. She couldn’t help but suspect that he might have been detained by that First Commander?

After much inquiry, she finally pinpointed the location of the First Commander’s palace and confirmed that the person would stay in the palace overnight.

Tonight is her perfect chance to strike!

Shen Tang even thought of her escape plan: with the system’s teleportation function for self-preservation, at worst she’d teleport away after a quick strike.

As long as she can get close to the Necro Leader, stab him for the blood, and then flee!

Even if the King himself shows up, they wouldn’t be able to catch her!

At midnight, when all was silent.

Shen Tang activated the system teleportation and landed directly at the leader’s palace.

To ensure nothing went awry, she also bought a breathing concealer from the System Mall—success or failure hinges on this!

The entire palace was brightly lit under the night sky, looking like a giant beast in slumber with its blood-red eyes wide open.

Steam billowed from the open-air hot springs on the west side, and from afar, the corner of the pool water glistened with a strange dark red, as if mixed with blood.
