Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 61

Chapter 61: Chapter 55: Ways to Make Money

Gu Lian still hasn’t been able to wait for Jia Lan’s plea for mercy, so angry that her lungs were about to explode, her nails fiercely dug into her palm, the venomous resentment on her face twisted like a sinister snake.

That damned fat woman better watch out; she dared to ruin my plans, she will pay a bitter price!

Malice flashed across Gu Lian’s beautiful face. Anyway, she was about to leave this forsaken place. A barefooted person doesn’t fear a shod one. Silently killing a female, by then the military wouldn’t be able to trace it back to her.

...

Shen Tang had just reached her door when a sound of something piercing through the air came from behind.

Her bloated and clumsy body had no chance to dodge, the sharp arrow aimed precisely at her heart!

If hit, death was inevitable, not even a god could save her!

But the anticipated scene of blood and gore did not appear. Just as the arrow was about to pierce her skin, it seemed to encounter some kind of barrier and was deflected, turning mid-air to pierce through the door.

The Beastman hidden behind a tree was utterly shocked; his archery skills were renowned in the city. He had aimed correctly, how could he not hit?

He quickly pulled the bow and notched another arrow, intending to try again.

No matter how lucky that fat woman is, she couldn’t possibly escape a second time.

A system alert sounded in Shen Tang’s mind, and she rapidly ran away from her spot, pulling the arrow from the door frame, then shouting towards the crowd gathering in front of her, "Someone, come quickly! Someone is attempting to harm a female!"

The Beastmen nearby were alarmed by her cries for help and rushed over to gather around.

Shen Li happened to be patrolling nearby, the fiery sharp fox ears twitched as he heard the familiar shout. His brows knitted slightly, without time to think further, he swiftly led his team over.

Seeing the sharp arrow in Shen Tang’s hand, Shen Li’s face suddenly darkened. He ordered coldly, "Surround this area!"

The Leopard Beast hiding in the dark turned pale with fear. He had barely made it to the point of leaving this hellish place, unwilling to end up in prison, he abandoned the assassination attempt on Shen Tang and fled like a shadow.

The patrol team of Beastmen were a step too slow to catch him, they only found discarded bows and arrows in the bushes.

Shen Li walked over, showing concern for Shen Tang, "Are you injured anywhere?"

Though Shen Tang’s face was somewhat pale, she calmly shook her head, "I’m fine. I’ve always been lucky, that guy missed me."

Shen Li affectionately sighed, "Xiao Tang, you certainly have a tough fate. Once, twice, all these people are targeting you. I’ll lead the team to investigate shortly, no matter how fast the culprit escapes, they can’t leave without some trace."

Shen Tang thought to herself, isn’t it because of you guys attracting trouble, causing everyone to want her dead? If it weren’t for the defensive equipment awarded by the system, she would surely have been turned into a pincushion!

Though Shen Li was trying his best to comfort her, Shen Tang understood that the culprit used a handmade bow and arrow, obviously they came prepared, even surveillance would be hard to investigate, this matter was likely to end unresolved.

"Forget it, the culprit ran away so fast, it’s unlikely we’ll find them. They probably won’t have the guts to strike again."

It was noon, also time for Shen Li to get off work and rest. Shen Tang with a strong sense of professionalism said, "Do you want to stay for lunch?"

Seeing the female’s bright smile, a hint of surprise flashed in Shen Li’s eyes.

He wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but he felt Shen Tang’s teeth had become much straighter; previously crooked like a camel’s, now they looked clean and neat.
