Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 81

Chapter 81: Chapter 75: Blow-Drying Hair

Xiao Jin had just finished his shower as well, lazily lounging on the living room sofa with his legs crossed. He wore a black bathrobe, the collar half-open, revealing a well-sculpted chest. Under the lights, his honey-toned skin exuded an irresistible allure.

Previously, he would never have shared a room with Shen Tang, let alone showcased this "teasing" look to the flirtatious woman, always worried she might pounce on him, wishing he could wrap himself in layers like a dumpling.

But today, Xiao Jin wasn’t dressed like this on purpose; he simply hadn’t thought of it that way.

He hadn’t realized himself that his aversion to Shen Tang had faded, so he dressed more casually, just like when he was alone at home.

"That chubby girl, it’s been almost three hours, and she’s still not out?"

Xiao Jin frowned, frequently glancing towards the bathroom disapprovingly, "Took forever, what’s there to wash on that rough skin of hers, not worried she’ll scrub it off?"

Hearing no sound from inside, he felt a pang of anxiety, "Could she have drowned in the bathtub? Is she really that dumb?"

Xiao Jin quickly got up from the sofa, hurried to the bathroom door, then stopped, pacing anxiously, debating whether to push the door open and take a look.

Then, Shen Tang’s voice came from the bathroom.

"Xiao Jin, um... could you come over and get me a towel?"

The soft, pleading tone carried a hint of restlessness, and seemed a bit wronged.

Xiao Jin’s eyes flashed with realization.

She forgot to bring a towel.

Hearing her pitiful tone, he guessed she didn’t dare to ask him, hesitating for a long time before having to seek his help.

Who would have thought this chubby girl had such a shy side?

Xiao Jin raised an eyebrow, his deep golden eyes glimmering with amusement. He picked up a clean towel and walked to the bathroom door, his voice impatient, "You’re so troublesome, forgetting a towel while showering? Stupid."

Shen Tang ground her teeth in anger; this damned leopard really couldn’t speak properly. If he weren’t the only beast husband around, she wouldn’t have chosen him!

She had to feign gratitude, "Thank you, Xiao Jin!"

Xiao Jin’s heart stirred slightly as he heard her cheerful voice.

The bathroom door cautiously opened a crack.

A plump little hand poked through, looking white and smooth under the light.

Xiao Jin couldn’t help but take another glance. He remembered this chubby girl used to be as dark as charcoal, but she seemed to be getting fairer.

His eyes darkened as he handed over the towel, and just then, the door suddenly flung open, and a solid wall of flesh came crashing towards him.

Xiao Jin’s golden eyes narrowed; having battled on the battlefield for years, his reflexes and agility far exceeded Shen Tang’s, allowing him to evade instantly.

Shen Tang was dumbfounded when the man before her suddenly disappeared, "?"

She looked up in a daze, only to find Xiao Jin several meters away, arms crossed, calmly staring at her. His deep golden eyes brewed a storm, coldly gritting his teeth, "What are you trying to do now?"

"..."

What else could she be trying to do?

Of course, she just wanted to use the excuse of slipping to sneak a kiss on him.

But who knew this damned man would react so quickly? She didn’t even get a chance to touch him before he escaped, not giving her any opportunity to make a move!

This smelly leopard really was on guard against her!

"Sorry, the floor was too slippery, and I just slipped; it wasn’t on purpose." Shen Tang gritted her teeth.

Xiao Jin noted she was at least wearing a bathrobe; if she had really been a wall of bare flesh crashing over, he might have felt so disgusted he couldn’t eat for three days.

His voice was low and cold, "It better be! If you dare to pull any stunts again, I’ll throw you out to feed the wolves!"

What?

Shen Tang’s cocky smile froze on her face.

Almost flipped out!

As expected, nothing pleasant could come from this damned man’s leopards lips!

Though Xiao Jin’s words were sharp and critical, they were also honest. This chubby girl had indeed become much prettier, at least no longer as ugly as before, which surprised and piqued his curiosity, but that was about it.

He’d seen too many young beauty females in the Imperial City, enough to leave him unmoved. Given Shen Tang’s current condition, she was nowhere near stunning him.

[Host, pick up the pace; there’s less than ten minutes left before the task ends. If you can’t win over this leopard, you’ll fail the task!]

The system’s relentless urging echoed in her mind.

Shen Tang’s temples throbbed as she rolled her eyes, smiling warmly, "Xiao Jin, could you help me blow dry my hair?"

"Don’t you have your own hands?" Xiao Jin gave her a strange look.

Shen Tang inwardly scolded the dumb leopard for being such a wooden steel male with no tact! She really wondered how he ever managed to woo the heroine in the future!

Sigh, this was indeed the difference between love and not love.

"I... I hurt my hand!" Shen Tang came up with a random excuse.

Afraid he wouldn’t believe her, she even rolled up her sleeve for him to see.

The outer side of her arm was red, scratched by a branch. After applying the healing potion, she barely felt it.

Xiao Jin wasn’t suspicious, grumbling "troublesome" as he skillfully retrieved the hairdryer, plugged it in, and tilted his well-defined chin towards her, "Come here."

Shen Tang barely drew near when he grabbed her hair and cranked the hairdryer to the highest setting, unleashing a wild blow!
