Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!-Chapter 511 - 494: Taking Matters Into My Own Hands

Chapter 511: Chapter 494: Taking Matters Into My Own Hands

Old Imperial City, unlike the previous barren scene, Beastmen could be seen everywhere digging holes to plant trees.

Initially, only Beastmen from two or three tribes were present, but gradually, more came on their own to reforest, striving to restore this barren land to its former state, turning it into the familiar homeland from their memories.

After two months of restoration, the scorched earth rejuvenated with life, filled with wind-resistant and sand-stabilizing green trees and flowers, growing lushly. Even in late autumn, these plants and trees brim with vitality, showing no signs of decay. Many animals have migrated here, all thanks to Fu Teng.

Fu Teng was indeed miserable, never expecting to escape Necro’s clutches, yet unable to escape being conscripted for labor elsewhere.

Comparatively, working under Shen Tang is much more relaxed and free, without being forcibly suppressed and confined to a small courtyard.

Over these two months, Green Vine had also grown considerably, its long, green tendrils leisurely swaying in the air.

Suddenly, it halted its movements and let out a piercing scream, "My child—"

Luo Fei was lying on a nearby treetop, woken by the scream, and fell off with a thud, shaking the leaves and twigs off his head, grumbling, "Why the hell are you screaming? You’re disturbing my sleep!"

"My child is dead." Fu Teng was so anxious he couldn’t even take human form, directly pulling his roots from the ground and sprinting away like an octopus.

The Beastmen nearby gasped in horror at the sight.

"What? You have a child? Are you male or female?"

Luo Fei was utterly confused, seeing Fu Teng running farther away, he yelled angrily and chased after him, "Get back here! Don’t even think about running! If you do, I’m not going to be nice, Your Majesty ordered me to keep an eye on you!"

Fu Teng was speechless, "Can you not block me, you black boar? I have urgent news to report to my dear Xiao Gua, if I’m late! You’ll be apologizing with your life!"

Just moments ago, Fu Teng sensed Mi Li’s death.

Back then, he gifted the seed to this ambitious young Beastman, waiting for the seed’s dormancy period to end, then Mi Li would be completely assimilated into a ruthless Plant Beastman, as good as his offspring!

Didn’t expect him to die so soon.

Of course, it’s just a puppet for passing on lineage, it’s nothing to be sad about. However, Mi Li’s memories before his death would directly be transmitted to his mind.

What Mi Li saw before dying was the real reason behind Fu Teng’s panic.

——That perverted Necro is coming for slaughter again!

This must be quickly reported to Xiao Gua and the others.

...

The long-awaited peace of the Night Glow Empire was once again shattered, Shen Tang was awakened by urgent military news at night—the rebel army amassed their forces, pressing against the Northwest Border!

After waves of war, the Night Glow Empire could only mobilize at most a hundred thousand Guard Army, and due to the pollution spreading from Southwest Border, Shen Tang strengthened defenses there.

Only fifty thousand troops remained at Northwest Border.

Against all expectations, the defeated rebel army this time came back with stronger forces, fifty thousand troops weren’t much, but within a single night, they found themselves at a losing end, terrifying and shocking!

Shen Tang held an emergency meeting with the Empire’s high command to discuss military status, and finally learned more about the situation.

Unlike previous times, this time the attack wasn’t led by the Third Legion but personally headed by the legendary leader!

One person capable of defeating thousands!

No wonder the assault was so horrific!

Across the Empire, only Xue Yinzhou and Lu Xiao are capable of matching Necro.

This is likely a true decisive battle between the Night Glow Empire and the rebel army.

Win this battle, crush the rebel army forever.

Lose, and fear the Empire will perish!

During the Empire’s critical survival moment, Beastmen nationwide were prepared for a fight to the death.

Lu Xiao, Xue Yinzhou, and Xiao Jin urgently assembled their troops at night, personally leading them to Northwest Border for support.

Shen Tang wanted to rush to the battlefield too, but Lu Xiao and the others refused to let her go. The battlefield was too dangerous, even with her strength, she couldn’t fend off thousands of troops and the unpredictable battle conditions.

A nation’s ruler mustn’t make a single mistake.

Shen Tang’s task was simple: guard the rear, maintain public morale and spirit, preventing a loss before battle.

The life-and-death frontline battle was left to them.

Shen Tang stayed at the Imperial City, dealing with urgent military intelligence day and night.

Unexpectedly, Fu Teng had returned.

"Dear Xiao Gua, long time no see, have you missed me?" Fu Teng tried to soothe the frowning female by massaging her shoulders.

Shen Tang pinched her eyebrows, looking at the urgent military news in her hands, she replied angrily, "I don’t have time for your playacting now; weren’t you at the Old Imperial City? Why are you back?"

"I heard the rebel army attacked again and rushed over to tell you, but I’m already late." Fu Teng got serious, "I have something very important to tell you!"

Shen Tang glanced at him sideways, wondering what mischief this guy was brewing now. Could he be planning to slip away amid the two armies’ battle?

After all, Luo Fei had filed numerous small complaints with her lately about Fu Teng’s attempts to escape twenty-three times, all in vain, as he was recaptured each time.

Fu Teng said, "Necro himself led the attack, backed by deliberate instigation."

"What do you mean by that?" Shen Tang’s face shifted slightly; she couldn’t understand either. The rebel army was clearly weakened, having retreated voluntarily, and such actions were their best indication.

Logically, the rebel army shouldn’t make big moves again in several years. Yet a few months later, Necro personally led forces to attack, surprising everyone.

Shen Tang soon narrowed her eyes, "Wait, how did you learn this? Why should I believe you?"

"Xiao Gua, you can decide whether to trust me after hearing me out."

Fu Teng wasn’t a good thing, but he had no desire to see Necro return to attack again, and if the two factions broke completely, he’d be doomed in his current weak state under that psycho.

Shen Tang heard Fu Teng explain the causes and consequences, she leapt to her feet in shock, nearly losing her composure.

——Shen Qingli and Necro were colluded together, complicit in crime?!

Upon learning why they joined forces, she was nearly infuriated, coughing up blood.

——Necro had encountered a beautiful woman by the river, fell in love at first sight, then led an attack on the Empire just to make the beauty smile.

This beauty, the bane of all the chaos, was Shen Qingli.

Shen Tang, a fool, finally understood.

Shen Qingli, that wretched heroine, stole her identity!

Her Love at First Sight Spray had unwittingly become Shen Qingli’s wedding dress!

Shen Tang felt a mix of emotions, at a loss for words; she didn’t expect her unintended actions to result in such a catastrophe aimed at herself!

No, she couldn’t let the wretched heroine enjoy these benefits, it’s simply unacceptable to mistake her identity, Shen Tang didn’t care who Necro loved, but Shen Qingli trying to use Necro to attack the Empire and seize her throne is intolerable!

The system indignantly remarked, [Looks like you must personally step in to expose Shen Qingli’s lies. If Necro learns of her deception, he’ll surely be enraged and kill her, let alone assist her!]
