Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 551

Chapter 551: Chapter 520: Seeking Help from the High Priest_2

"Strange, where did they hide? Why can’t we find them?"

"I clearly saw them here just now, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye!"

"It’s really spooky!"

Hiding behind the stone wall, Jia Lan looked in shock at the female beside him. He opened his mouth to say something but seeing the figures searching not far away, he swallowed his question back down.

The young man’s slender hand tightly grasped hers, the knuckles slightly white. Even though his face was calm and indifferent, Shen Tang could sense his spirit was highly tense, like an arrow on the string.

Shen Tang also squeezed his hand back forcefully, as if to comfort or advise him, gently shaking her head, signaling him not to be impulsive.

Being with Shen Tang was like a lost sailboat in a storm finding a harbor to dock, Jia Lan’s tense body slightly relaxed, and he asked in a very low voice, "...Why did you come."

His voice no longer held its usual clarity, carrying a hint of hoarseness and fatigue, like the thin mist of morning, revealing a unique taste.

Shen Tang subconsciously held his hand tighter, quietly saying, "I was afraid you’d lose your head, act too impulsively."

"..."

Who wouldn’t find it hard to stay calm when their mother was imprisoned?

Facts proved he indeed was impulsive, nearly causing a great disaster.

"I’m sorry," Jia Lan said softly, "I just...didn’t want to drag you into this."

After all, this was an internal matter of the Sea Clan.

The Night Glow Empire was enough for Shen Tang to worry about; he didn’t want her distracted by this, or even get involved.

But unexpectedly, she actually came in person.

This was completely beyond Jia Lan’s expectations. He felt both uneasy and guilty, yet also filled with warmth – no female in this world would willingly risk herself for a male, and yet he won her favor as the Female Master.

"Fool." Shen Tang helplessly scolded softly.

Calling him a big fool was truly not wronging him.

Jia Lan remained silent.

The group nearby was still searching.

Unable to find anyone, they frantically attacked the surroundings in frustration.

Although Shen Tang and Jia Lan used a Concealing Talisman, it couldn’t completely evade the attack. She immediately activated her Space Ability, taking both of them into the space, avoiding the assault.

The lead Beastman, seeing no activity at the scene, squinted suspiciously. Had they really fled?

Impossible! That mermaid little highness came to save her mother; since she dared to venture into the Imperial Palace alone, she wouldn’t leave easily. She must still be nearby!

A man in black sneered, "Go to the palace and bring out a prince, a female!"

Soon, a young female was brought out. She was about fourteen or fifteen, with a beautiful blue-green fish tail, and a face as lovely and delicate as a flower.

She was bound by the vicious rebel Beastmen, crying and struggling, her small face streaked with tears, full of panic, "What do you want? Let me go!"

Jia Lan, coming out from the space, saw this and almost rushed over.

Though Jialouluo had over a hundred children, only a dozen or so were female, each one a most precious princess of the sea area. Jia Lan knew this young sister well; they had a good relationship and often played together as children.

The man in black gathered a sharp blade in his hand, scanning the entire area, cold-bloodedly saying, "I’ll count to three. If you don’t come out, I’ll kill her!"

"One."
