Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!-Chapter 10 - 9: Infidelity

Shen Li once again set his gaze upon Shen Tang’s face. He hadn’t seriously looked at the woman in front of him for a long time and only now did he realize that the pimples on her face seemed fewer. It seemed like she had lost a bit of weight, though he wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination.

He noticed her cheeks were slightly red and swollen and asked, "What happened to your face?"

Shen Tang thought he was asking about the pimples and casually came up with a reason, "I went to see a doctor in the city and bought some ointment. It’s quite effective."

"That’s not it." Shen Li touched her face with his finger and felt the swollen, red area. Shen Tang winced in pain. Her face had swollen like a steamed bun, looking even uglier.

Shen Li resisted the urge to look away and spoke indifferently, "How did this happen here?"

The ointment that Song Fang had given her worked quite well. In two or three hours, the redness and swelling on her face had mostly subsided, but it was still faintly visible.

Shen Tang didn’t want to cause any more trouble and smiled casually, "It’s nothing, I accidentally fell this morning. It’s just a minor injury, it’ll be fine in a couple of days."

How could a fall cause this mess? Shen Li frowned in doubt but didn’t ask further. Whether this female lived or died was none of his concern. He didn’t even want to look at her before, let alone care about her injuries.

Thinking about this, his face turned slightly grim. He must have lost his mind today; why did he suddenly care about Shen Tang?

Even though the pimples on her face had reduced and her skin had become paler, making her not as unbearably ugly, she was still unattractive. Especially with all the fat piled around her waist, making her wobble with every step. Her two huge breasts nearly drooped to her waist, making him wish he could cut them off with a knife.

Shen Tang suddenly felt a chill run through her body as if a beast was eyeing her. Shen Li glanced over her, then looked away, walking towards a cabinet while saying disdainfully, "Eat less or one day you’ll be too fat to walk and no one will carry you."

Shen Tang would never allow herself to become like that!

Afraid of being infuriated to death by this fox, Shen Tang turned to leave.

A cold command came from behind:

"Stop."

As soon as she turned around, Shen Li shoved a bottle of medicine into her hand.

"This is a top-grade healing medicine used by the military. Apply it, and the swelling will reduce in half an hour." His tone was indifferent, as if he was casually doing charity.

Shen Tang glanced down and immediately recognized that this medicine was much better than what Song Fang had given her.

Just as she was about to thank him, she heard the man’s disdainful voice again, "Swollen like a pig’s head and still wandering around, if you’re not embarrassed, I am."

"..."

Shen Tang gritted her teeth, cursing inwardly: Could this jerk say fewer words?

But thinking about the dislike these beast husbands had for her, naturally, nothing good could come out of it.

On her way to see Jia Lan, the system’s notification sounded in her mind,

"Ding! Congratulations host, male lead Shen Li’s affinity +20!"

Unexpectedly, that dead fox was disdainful to the extreme, yet his affinity increased?

It seems he was won over by her skills!

Shen Tang beamed with a smile.

As long as she flatters hard enough, she didn’t believe she couldn’t handle these five tough bones!

Speaking of which, Shen Tang hadn’t dealt with Jia Lan yet. This beast husband was a mermaid prince from New Atlantis and the Night Glow Empire’s arranged marriage. The original character hadn’t met him much, and she couldn’t figure out his personality. But such beautiful and pure creatures like mermaids should be easy to get along with.

"Host, would you like to check the basic information of male lead Jia Lan?"

Shen Tang nodded, "Check."

Immediately, a system light screen appeared in front of her.

[Jia Lan

Beastification: Deep Sea Merfolk (Royal Family)

Superpower Level: Sixth Rank

Genetic Evaluation: S-level

Affinity: Dislike 90]

The dislike level was actually this high?

Shen Tang was astonished and then pulled up the affinity list for the five male leads.

[Xiao Jin, Darkened 60

Shen Li, Dislike 30

Jia Lan, Dislike 90

Xue Yinzhou, Dislike 99

Lu Xiao, Dislike 60]

Shen Tang’s lips twitched as she sighed inwardly: One darkened and four dislikes, this strategy path is really long and arduous!

The system manual clearly stated that the male lead’s affinity is divided into six levels: darkened, dislike, ordinary, affinity, like, love deeply.

Each level has a score of 100, and the system’s task requires Shen Tang to increase the male lead’s affinity to above love deeply while preventing the male lead from darkening.

The higher the darkened value of the male lead, the higher her probability of death. Once the darkened value reaches 100, she is doomed to die!

Xiao Jin’s darkened value was already as high as 60; Shen Tang really didn’t dare to meet him. Forget it, it’s better to think about how to deliver this bowl of soup first, since the mermaid’s dislike for her was not low.

The original host’s residence was in the south of the city, while Jia Lan deliberately moved his residence to the northernmost of the shelter to avoid her. The two places were nearly ten miles apart. Shen Tang walked all the way, and her legs were almost wasted.

This time, she didn’t dare to trespass into the house again and cautiously pressed the doorbell.

After a while, when she thought no one was home, the door opened.

The one who opened the door was an elegantly distinguished man with short, slightly curly flaxen hair, blue eyes, fluttering eyelashes, a straight nose, moist lips of light red, and a delicate and cool white complexion, both cold and beautiful.

His figure was between that of a teenager and a youth, both having the slender physique of a youth and the elegance of a teenager, resembling a perfect sculpture of Ancient Greece, every inch carved to perfection.

However, his collar was messily open, vaguely revealing a red mark on his neck, as if he had just been through an intense affair.

Shen Tang was slightly taken aback.

Jia Lan was initially surprised to see her, then his eyes darkened, and his face was filled with cold disgust, "Who allowed you to come over!"

"Sweetheart, who are you talking to?" came a charming voice from behind the man, then a beautiful woman in a robe walked over, wrapping her arms around his waist.

The woman’s eyes flicked, and upon seeing Shen Tang, she was startled and screamed, "Ah! Where did this scavenger come from, lingering at our door?"

Then, as if recalling something, she slapped her forehead with a false look of apology, "Oh, I remember now, you’re Ah Lan’s wife, Miss Shen Tang, right? Sorry, I thought it was another scavenger begging for food."

The scavengers in the city couldn’t afford nutrient liquid and often ate contaminated food, resulting in distorted bodies, becoming ugly and fat.

Shen Tang looked at the two embracing, her face somewhat unsightly. This was her beast husband; why was he with another female?

"It’s alright, you go to sleep first, I’ll handle this," Jia Lan smiled gently at the woman, then turned his gaze to Shen Tang standing at the door. His smile instantly darkened, full of rage, "Leave now, or do you want me to personally kick you out?"

Shen Tang spoke with difficulty, "I came to see you."

She wanted to hand the food box in her hand to the man, but he reacted as if seeing a ferocious beast, pushing her away.

Fortunately, Shen Tang was heavy enough, her 300 pounds of weight keeping her steady, or else she would’ve been shoved to the ground, possibly rolling down those seven or eight steps, leaving at least three days in bed, if not a head injury.

Jia Lan’s eyes showed no pity as he looked at her, only revulsion, as if looking at dirty trash, nauseous at even one more glance.

"Get lost, don’t let me see you again!"

Gu Lian, watching the comedic scene, hid a cold smile at the corner of her lips; this ugly, fat woman still wanted to take her man, utterly delusional.

Her eyes concealed jealousy; Jia Lan, as a mermaid prince, how could this female be worthy of him!?

But it was thanks to this ugly, fat woman that she met the unattainable man of her life, and she certainly couldn’t miss this chance.

Gu Lian’s voice was soft and seductive, "Ah Lan, haven’t you told her about us yet?"

Jia Lan sneered, "Does His Highness need her permission to want another woman?"

Gu Lian, feeling victorious that this fat woman was completely abandoned by Jia Lan, no longer bothered hiding it, raising her chin, her gaze at Shen Tang full of provocation, "Ah Lan agreed to marry me, if you have any sense, sign the divorce agreement and hand over half the property."
