Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!-Chapter 500 - 483: Who Are You, Really?

"Ah?" Shen Tang’s pretty face flushed with embarrassment... She knew Xiao Jin was very enthusiastic about this sort of thing, but, but not to this extent, right?

She playfully scolded, "This is the hospital, you’ve just woken up, you should rest properly, don’t always think about such nonsense!"

Usually, she would scold him a bit, and Xiao Jin would lose that intensity, but this time he was rather persistent, foolishly pecking at her lips, urgently yet plaintively, "Tangtang, just once, okay? I really want you."

Shen Tang thought it might be the effect of the mating season, or perhaps this nightmare made him feel insecure, so she shyly agreed, "Just once, hurry up then..."

This was her private ward, not much different from an apartment room, with great soundproofing, and there shouldn’t be any rude outsiders barging in.

Xiao Jin leaned in to kiss her lips, contentedly saying, "Tangtang, I love you!"

...

After a brief yet passionate moment of pleasure.

Shen Tang was inexplicably exhausted.

She hugged the man’s slender waist, slowly drifting into sleep.

From an unnoticed angle, pure white spiritual power spread from the female’s body, enveloping the man...

Shen Tang also had a dream.

To be precise, it was a nightmare.

It was as if she accidentally fell off a cliff, the sudden sense of weightlessness made her heart race and scream, the wind howled past her ears, as if it could shatter her eardrums.

The temperature then sharply dropped.

Cold, an indescribable cold.

She shivered uncontrollably, as if her blood was frozen solid, unable to move at all.

In front, all was pitch black, nothing could be seen, Shen Tang didn’t know where she was, the air was unbearably thick and heavy, with so little oxygen it suffocated her.

Vaguely.

She seemed to hear the sound of chains from afar, accompanied by the frantic roars of beasts, and the sounds of fleeing...

Finally, her consciousness plunged into darkness, nothing could be seen.

...

When Shen Tang woke up, it was still daylight outside, she glanced at the time on the Light Computer and found that just over an hour had passed.

She helped tidy up their clothes.

Xiao Jin had not yet woken up. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Shen Tang chuckled inwardly, was it really that tiring?

She hadn’t even let him exert much effort~

She stuck out a finger and poked his face, "Wake up, you’ve been in a coma for so many days, get up and eat something."

Xiao Jin did not react at all.

Quickly, Shen Tang realized something was wrong, and she shook his shoulders, her voice growing more anxious with each call, "Ah Jin, wake up, Xiao Jin!"

Xiao Jin remained unresponsive, as if trapped in a nightmare from which he would never awaken.

Shen Tang’s face turned ashen instantly, she staggered back a couple of steps, feeling as if the warmth earlier had been a dream, that Xiao Jin had never actually woken up at all...

Meanwhile, a more shocking event occurred; Xiao Jin’s power began surging violently, sometimes leaking, sometimes retracting.

His body also started rapidly inflating, the veins on his arms and neck bulged, and he resembled an inflating balloon, on the verge of some kind of mutation!

Shen Tang was so frightened, she could barely breathe, "Xiao Jin!"

Her eyes red, her vision blurred by tears, she exhausted every effort to release her Healing Ability, attempting to stop his body from mutating, but to no avail.

The commotion quickly attracted attention from outside, Doctor Goya rushed in with doctors and nurses, and upon seeing the mutated male beast on the bed, someone screamed in shock, "Someone! Help, quickly!"

Lu Xiao and others arrived, all utterly astounded.

How could it be like this?

Shen Tang collapsed on the ground, Lu Xiao hurriedly rushed over to support her in his embrace, comforting her, "Female Master, let’s leave here first, we will handle the follow-up."

"No, I can’t go, Xiao Jin will die." In her urgency, Shen Tang suddenly recalled what Vine said before he left, had he anticipated all of this?

Shen Tang coldly demanded, "Get Vine over here! Have him come immediately!"

She sent him countless messages, all of which went unanswered, the other side remained silent.

The Beastman in contact with the research institute reported that Wayne was in the lab and would not meet with anyone.

Shen Tang, along with Xue Yinzhou, Lu Xiao, and Jia Lan, personally came to the Zero Point Research Institute, only to be stopped at the entrance by staff.

Jia Lan coldly questioned, "Do you all know what you’re doing? How dare you obstruct when Your Majesty is here?"

The staff politely yet firmly replied, "Sorry, although the research institute is within the Empire, we only follow Director Vine’s orders, Your Majesty has granted us this autonomy."

Though the statement was true, Shen Tang was very grateful for the contributions of the Zero Point Research Institute and Vine to the Empire. To allow them to devote themselves entirely to their research work, an order was issued that no outsiders could enter without permission, not even the Emperor.

"Tell Vine, I want to see him." Shen Tang ordered.

The staff responded, "The Director has given instructions, Your Majesty may enter alone, but the others must wait outside."

Xue Yinzhou and his team’s faces turned sour immediately.

This research institute was full of peculiarities, especially that Director Vine. Now they wanted Shen Tang to enter alone, how could they be at ease?

Xue Yinzhou was about to force his way in but was held back by Shen Tang, "Don’t worry, I’ll go see him alone, you stay at the door, in case anything happens, you can respond promptly."

Being a Ninth Rank Beastman with Space Mutation System and Teleportation Ability, very few in the world could threaten her. Shen Tang wanted to see what exactly Vine was up to!

Although Xue Yinzhou, Lu Xiao, and Jia Lan were worried, they had no other choice but to wait outside.

Shen Tang went to the top floor of the research institute and saw that familiar tall figure.

Vine was still sitting in the outer lounge, holding a cup of coffee in one hand and a research report in the other, appearing relaxed and leisurely, as if unfazed by the events outside.

He heard footsteps, put down the experimental report, looked up at her with a gentle and courteous smile, "As I expected, Your Majesty, you came."

Shen Tang coldly glared at him, unwilling to engage in small talk, speaking bluntly, "Who exactly are you?"

Vine’s smile remained unchanged, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this, haven’t you already reviewed my identity information?"

Shen Tang sneered, her gaze sharp as a knife, "Stop pretending, your identity is not that simple, how much inside information do you know, and what connections do you have with that illegal experimental base?"

"Has Your Majesty ever heard of this saying?" the young man in a white coat unhurriedly put the coffee cup on the table, making a crisp tapping sound, "Sometimes, knowing too much may not be a good thing."

He lifted his eyes, his gaze deep, "You just need to understand that I am on your side, hasn’t my great contribution to the Empire been enough proof of my loyalty?"

[Warning! Detected target loyalty value in negative!]

The system suddenly alarmed urgently.

Shen Tang’s expression changed drastically, "Fine, since you’re being vague and mysterious, don’t blame me for being impolite!"

Xue Yinzhou barged in with a team, instantly surrounding Vine.

Shen Tang approached him step by step, "There’s no escape for you now, tell me everything you know, completely and truthfully!"
