Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Chapter 5: A Man Who Is Cold Outside but Warm Inside

Lu Xiao led the patrol team back to the city, passing by without his gaze lingering on Shen Tang for even a moment, as if she was just a stone by the roadside, devoid of any presence.

An Ya lightly bit her red lips, not expecting to run into Lu Xiao today. She was initially feeling guilty and scared. After all, this stupid fat woman was Lu Xiao’s partner, and publicly insulting her under broad daylight would somewhat damage a male’s dignity.

If Brother Xiao were to take his anger out on her, her plan would be ruined!

Fortunately, Lu Xiao didn’t even spare a glance at that stupid fat woman. It seems he truly despises her, and divorce is likely imminent!

The thought of such a handsome and powerful man soon becoming her subordinate made An Ya blush with excitement.

Ha, this ugly fat woman dared to insult her just now, truly stupid and ridiculous!

Feeling proud, An Ya stepped forward and fiercely pushed Shen Tang, not bothering to pretend anymore, her words piercingly harsh, "You unwanted ugly woman, if you know what’s good for you, hurry up and get divorced, don’t cling to Brother Xiao!"

"Lu Xiao is so excellent, serving a fat ugly woman like you as a female, it’s so embarrassing outside!"

"How can such an ugly woman be worthy of Captain Lu Xiao? Truly like a toad wanting to eat swan meat!"

"Stop clinging to him, hurry up and get lost!"

The surrounding passersby also began to jeer and mock.

Those vicious words pierced into Shen Tang like knives, causing her hands to tremble with anger.

She knew she wasn’t beautiful, perhaps even ugly, but never envisioned being humiliated so publicly, her eyes turning red instantly.

Meanwhile, Lu Xiao had already walked far, but suddenly heard a burst of laughter behind him mixed with ear-piercing ridicule.

He furrowed his brows, paused his steps, and looked back to see a crowd pointing and criticizing a female, their harsh words making him distinctly uncomfortable.

Lu Xiao wasn’t one to meddle in others’ affairs, he lifted his foot to leave, but suddenly froze upon hearing the name "Shen Tang," his heart shuddering.

He then focused his gaze on that obese female, scrutinizing her repeatedly.

His gray eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

Honestly, Lu Xiao had almost forgotten what his nominal partner looked like.

He vaguely remembered Shen Tang as dark, fat, covered in pimples, incredibly sloppy, reeking of an unpleasant odor, making people avoid her. He hadn’t returned home in a long time.

But the woman before him, though still fat and bulky, was noticeably cleaner and tidier, at least not repulsive.

Lu Xiao felt puzzled, it’s uncanny, she actually knows how to tidy up?

Whether it was his illusion or not, it seemed the woman’s pimples had reduced some, her skin turned a bit fairer, not as nauseating.

He unconsciously stepped towards her.

"Why are you all blocking the path, the shelter regulation Chapter Three, Article Five states illegal road occupants are fined five hundred Star Coins, severe violators can be directly detained, if you don’t clear out, you’ll all be thrown into cells!"

As the captain of the patrol team, Lu Xiao held a significant position in the city, authorized to arrest ordinary Beastmen.

His icy reprimand made the onlookers flee like mice seeing a cat.

An Ya, seeing Lu Xiao approaching, felt a burst of joy, thinking he was coming for her, she hurriedly squeaked out sweetly, "Brother Xiao..."

However, Lu Xiao didn’t even glance at her, walking directly towards Shen Tang, leaving a dumbstruck An Ya awkwardly in place.

Seeing Lu Xiao approach her, Shen Tang’s heart tightened, fingers clenching the edge of her clothes, lowering her head in confusion.

Lu Xiao halted in front of her, his towering figure casting her in shadow.

He looked down at Shen Tang, noticing her slightly red eyes, paused.

"Why did you come out?"

The man’s voice was deep and sensuous, like a rough hand grazing an earlobe, sparking a shiver.

Shen Tang timidly raised her head, recalling Lu Xiao’s military background, his profound gaze felt oppressively scrutinizing, making her legs almost go weak.

Considering the owner’s past reckless behavior, Shen Tang bit her lip and hurriedly explained, "I... I’m not here to gamble, just wanted to buy some meat, there’s no food at home..."

Her voice diminished to almost inaudibility.

Hearing this, Lu Xiao’s brows furrowed tighter.
