Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 549

Chapter 549: Chapter 519: The Dark Twist

The upheaval in the Sea Country was truly astonishing, spreading rapidly within a single day and shaking various major empires.

Shen Tang also naturally heard the news.

She was immediately consumed with extreme anxiety, as Jia Lan had left for the Sea Country a couple of days ago and should have arrived by now... Would he be implicated?

The situation in the Sea Country was complex and dangerous. Shen Tang wanted him to return as soon as possible, but she understood Jia Lan’s character. He wouldn’t easily turn back; it was highly likely he would choose to confront the rebels and rescue the Sea Emperor!

Although Jia Lan had high talent, his current strength was only at the peak of the Eighth Rank.

In the face of such a calamitous event, that bit of power was insignificant, like a mayfly trying to shake a tree, and might even invite catastrophic disaster!

Shen Tang hurriedly tried to contact Jia Lan through the Light Computer to confirm his situation.

But after waiting for half a day, there was no response from Jia Lan. Even video and voice calls seemed to disappear into the void, completely unreachable.

Shen Tang was anxious beyond words. Jia Lan would not fail to respond to her unless he encountered an unusual situation or he...

She dared not think further, unwilling to imagine worse possibilities.

Unexpectedly, the system also issued a long-overdue urgent alert, [Warning to the host! Jia Lan’s emotional values have undergone drastic fluctuations, showing signs of blackening. Please take immediate action!]

Shen Tang felt a jolt in her heart.

The good news was that Jia Lan was still alive.

The bad news was, he was showing tendencies of blackening!

"How could this be?" Shen Tang didn’t know whether to feel relieved or worried. "Didn’t I seal the Curse Power within him with the Infinite Box earlier? Jia Lan’s negative personality should have disappeared; there shouldn’t be such major fluctuations, let alone blackening?"

The system shook its head, [I don’t know about this either. But Prince Jia Lan is about to experience the grief of losing his mother. Even without the curse’s influence, blackening is only natural.]

"The grief of losing a mother..." Shen Tang murmured, suddenly realizing something, and her body trembled violently.

She quickly calmed down and carefully recalled the key trigger for Jia Lan’s blackening in the original work.

She struggled to piece together the storylines—after the original protagonist’s death, the two dissolved their engagement, and Jia Lan returned to the Sea Country. The author didn’t elaborate on the events of a few years during this time until later, when the Sea Country’s political upheaval led to the death of Emperor Jialouluo.

Shen Tang didn’t finish reading the original work at that time, and many plot points she just skimmed through. Besides, this part of the content was unrelated to the main storyline of the female lead, so the original work didn’t go into detail, merely glossing over it.

But one thing she remembered was the rumor that the person who personally killed Jialouluo was apparently Jia Lan!

She only vaguely remembered that after the Sea Country’s political upheaval, Jia Lan accidentally killed his mother while contending with rebels for the throne. Upon learning the truth later, his personality took a dramatic turn, and he went completely mad.

Shen Tang didn’t know if the rumor was true or what precisely happened at that time.

But one thing she was certain of was that his mother, Jialouluo, was extremely significant to Jia Lan.

Although the original female lead Shen Qingli was dead, the original plot seemed yet to conclude. This coup was highly likely to end with Jialouluo’s life hanging in the balance!

And the Empress’s death would become the critical reason for spurring Jia Lan into blackening into a tyrant!

Shen Tang could wait no longer and immediately had the system teleport her to Jia Lan’s side.

...

In the sea area, near the Imperial Palace, an intense battle was in progress.
