Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 469

Chapter 469: Chapter 454: Mother

Is this Shen Li from childhood?

Shen Tang watched it anxiously wail in its milky voice, trembling with fear, the nine tails almost shaking into wavy lines... couldn’t help but chuckle, much cuter than when grown up.

Shen Tang stood under the tree, opened her arms, "Don’t be afraid, jump down, I’ll catch you!"

The little fox seemed unable to see her, ignoring her offer of help and continued to howl anxiously on the tree.

Shen Tang thought it was afraid of strangers, so she wanted to climb up and fetch the cub, but her hand passed through the trunk as if through air.

Shen Tang was stunned for a moment, tried again, and it was the same.

She turned her head to look at the palace wall beside her, plunged her head into it, and walked through like a wandering ghost, then effortlessly came back out.

"System, what’s going on?" She had never encountered this situation before.

The system explained: [The spiritual environment simulates the real environment completely, but ultimately, everything here is fake, constructed from Shen Li’s mental memories. His mental state is extremely unstable now, suppressing your spirit body, and the spiritual space is on the verge of collapsing. It’s uncertain how long it can last, so this situation is quite normal.]

"So, doesn’t that mean I can’t do anything here?" All the effort spent getting in would be wasted.

[The host can try to gather spiritual power.]

Shen Tang nodded, and before she could take action, she heard a chorus of chaotic footsteps and exclamations from behind her.

"Little Highness, why did you climb up the tree! We’ve been looking for you for ages and thought you’d gotten lost!"

"Heavens, this tree is so tall, what if you fell and hurt yourself!"

"Your Highness is too mischievous, too dangerous!"

A group of palace servants and guards rushed over, flustered.

The youth at the front with the upright posture looked a bit familiar.

Shen Tang involuntarily looked a few more times, then her lips twitched as she recognized it was Qiu Yang.

He was much younger than she remembered, looking about fifteen or sixteen years old, with proper and tough features, and a hint of youthful naivety, completely unlike the sly allegiance he displayed later on.

Qiu Yang hurriedly climbed the tree and brought the little fox down. The cautious look on his face feared holding it in his mouth would melt it, cradling it in his hands feared it would fall.

"Mother~" The little fox suddenly looked in a certain direction, called out in its milky voice, leapt from his arms, landed on the ground, and scampered away with its nine fluffy tails swaying.

The little fox happily pounced into the embrace of a elaborately dressed female.

Shen Tang also looked over, a trace of surprise flashing in her eyes.

The female had bright red hair identical to Shen Li’s, and her graceful, ethereal stance suggested how impossibly beautiful she must be, yet somehow, Shen Tang couldn’t see her face clearly, as if a vague film obscured it. The impression was one of warmth like a spring day, faintly perceivable as a beauty but utterly indistinct.

Shen Tang soon understood the reason; the spiritual illusion realm was built from Shen Li’s memories.

The figures in those memories had gradually blurred.

It was because so much time had passed that not even the owner could recall what she looked like anymore.

Shen Tang hadn’t deliberately inquired into Shen Li’s background, but had heard that the late Empress died very early.

The late Empress returned to the palace with the little fox.
