Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Chapter 52: Lucky Blind Box

Xiao Jin’s handsome face suddenly darkened, and he sneered coldly, "Don’t flatter yourself. I was woken up by your snoring and teeth grinding. I was just about to throw you out when, unexpectedly, you woke up first. Saves me the trouble, I guess."

Shen Tang felt embarrassed at his words and quickly called the system in her mind, "Do I snore or grind my teeth when I sleep?"

She didn’t remember having such bad habits while sleeping. Was it because she was too tired today?

The system responded,

[No, he’s lying to the host.]

Oh, great, this lousy man dared to lie to her just to get her to leave!

The slight affinity Shen Tang had just developed for Xiao Jin vanished without a trace.

Xiao Jin noticed Shen Tang standing still, not knowing what she was thinking. He tossed a blanket onto the sofa, crossed his arms, and looked at her leisurely with an arrogant, devilish expression, "Hey, do you need me to explicitly issue an eviction order, little chubby girl?"

Hearing the term "little chubby girl," Shen Tang snapped back to reality, her mouth twitching hard. This lousy man was acting like a hooligan.

She suddenly remembered that, in the original story, this guy was indeed a former thug.

Xiao Jin and Lu Xiao both belonged to the military and had worked there for many years, but their demeanors were entirely different. Lu Xiao clearly had the traditional, upright military style, rarely smiling, serious and dignified, with a strong oppressive aura.

He came from an orthodox military aristocratic family, receiving the most traditional military education from a young age, with impeccable demeanor.

In contrast, Xiao Jin seemed more like a military ruffian. He indeed hailed from the slums and dared to forge documents and falsify his age to join the army at fourteen or fifteen. Through hundreds of battles, he fought his way from a rookie soldier to the position of Empire Vice Admiral.

On the battlefield, he was famously reckless, unafraid of death.

Lu Xiao was called the cold-faced Grim Reaper, while Xiao Jin was the living King Yan harvesting lives.

Thinking about how he had finally climbed to the position of Empire Vice Admiral, only to be forced to marry the original host and end up in this godforsaken place, with all his military merits and assets turning to bubbles... no wonder he wished he could kill her.

With this thought, Shen Tang suddenly felt somewhat guilty, stopped retorting, and obediently nodded, "To avoid bothering you, I’ll just leave."

Seeing that Shen Tang was no longer entangled, Xiao Jin turned and walked towards the door, a trace of surprise flashing across his face.

Why did this chubby girl suddenly become so obedient?

Xiao Jin frowned slightly, watching Shen Tang’s solitary figure as she opened the door, feeling an inexplicable hint of pity.

Letting a female walk the night streets wasn’t right. Xiao Jin was aware of how desperate those unwanted old males in the city were. Some people purposely lurked in places without surveillance at night to prey on lone females; even old, ugly ones were not spared, and many males also fell victim.

This chubby girl had become somewhat better-looking; wasn’t she like a fat piece of meat about to be devoured by wolves?

Xiao Jin’s handsome face darkened. Seeing Shen Tang about to walk out the door, he strode forward, picked her up, and said coldly, "Considering your good behavior today, I’ll let you stay for the night." He pulled the blanket from the sofa and shoved it into her arms, awkwardly saying, "Go to bed to sleep."

Shen Tang was surprised, not expecting this lousy man to suddenly become so generous. Could he be someone cold on the outside but warm inside? However, his tone wasn’t pleasant, as if he was doing her a huge favor.

Shen Tang pursed her lips. At least he had a bit of conscience. Without being polite, she took the blanket to his bedroom.

Xiao Jin, of course, didn’t follow her inside; he would sleep on the sofa in the living room that night.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest: Touch Xiao Jin’s ear, Reward: Obedience Spray, The reward has been automatically delivered into the system’s backpack, please check it yourself, host!]

[By the way, host, after Xiao Jin’s affinity reached [Ordinary], the system also issued a generous reward, a Lucky Blind Box. Do you want to try your luck now, host?]

"Lucky Blind Box?" Shen Tang raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest flashing in her eyes.
