Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 552

Chapter 552: Chapter 521: Father and Son Reunited

Jia Lan was stunned. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

He had long known that the legendary Sea God High Priest was his biological father, but regarding this father whom he had never met in his memory... perhaps he had met him when he was young, but he couldn’t remember at all, not even an impression of the man’s name and appearance.

He only knew that this High Priest was mysterious and powerful, a revered figure among the Sea Clan, an untouchable servant of the gods.

Legend had it that the Sea Race High Priest possessed terrifying power above the Tenth Rank, but according to Jia Lan’s knowledge, many years ago the High Priest vowed to stay within the deep palace and not involve himself in external affairs.

For so many years, his mother never mentioned the High Priest in front of him.

Their relationship was not harmonious, perhaps not even in name as husband and wife. Would the High Priest really lend a helping hand?

"The High Priest and Your Majesty..." Shen Tang glanced at Jia Lan, rubbing her brow helplessly.

Logically speaking, the two of them even had a child; even if they weren’t partners, there should be some bond, and the High Priest would likely help.

But even as an outsider, she could see that the High Priest’s relationship with the Empress was extremely poor, their acquaintance was a deceit with ulterior motives. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have only met a few times in years, and Jia Lan would not have been scorned as a "bastard" without knowing who his father was.

Shen Tang sighed, "Even disregarding personal matters, the Emperor’s imprisonment is a major event shaking the Sea Country. As the High Priest, how can he stand by idly!"

Jia Lan was moved by her words, but before he could feel any joy, he furrowed his brow, "But outsiders can’t even enter the Divine Hall, can’t meet him, how do we ask for his help?"

Shen Tang looked at him, touching her chin with a crafty smile, "What you say is wrong, you are the High Priest’s son, how can you be considered an outsider? If he had taken you back then, you might have been the Young Priest of the Divine Hall."

Jia Lan was taken aback, in his understanding, the Sea God Temple felt too distant from him.

Was Tangtang trying to make him use this unfamiliar familial bond as leverage?

Can it really be done?

Shen Tang took a token from the space, "Of course I also have a backup plan, this is what the High Priest gave me back then, and I later discovered this Sea God Temple token in the space, he said he hoped to meet with me..."

She looked at Jia Lan, smiling, "And with you, the next time we meet."

Jia Lan’s pupils slightly trembled, his hands slightly clenched, revealing a rare glimpse of childlike confusion and helplessness, plunging into deep thought.

To be honest, Shen Tang wasn’t sure the High Priest would actually help. After all, in the original work, when Jialouluo died in the palace coup, the Sea Race High Priest Lunus didn’t show up at all, perhaps the two had no love, only hatred...
