Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 572

Chapter 572: Chapter 536: Truly a Crafty Fox!

The Yiyuan Empire welcomed the cold winter of December, with swirling snowflakes covering the eaves and ground, and a thick layer of snow fluff accumulating on the tree branches in the courtyard. Occasionally, the wind would sweep through, causing the snow on the branches to fall gently, resembling willow fluff in spring, creating a dreamlike scene of beauty.

However, inside the palace, the atmosphere was far from harmonious as outside. The air had dropped to the freezing point, chilling the body and soul!

Tianchen Hall was where the Beast Emperors of past generations handled state affairs. At this moment, several ministers were kneeling, with a man in luxurious brocade sitting above them, perusing documents with lowered eyes.

He was born with dazzling beauty, his face mesmerizing, without a flaw to be found.

Yet, at this moment, his brows were tightly knit, with a hint of anger in his eyes, exuding a sharp pressure that made the ministers kneeling below tremble uncontrollably.

"Is this the plan you all submitted to Your Emperor? Calling it ’painstakingly devised’ and coming up with this useless stuff, I see there’s no need for you to remain in these positions; it’s time to retire!"

Shen Li lost his temper, throwing the document to the ground, scaring the ministers below him pale.

Since officially taking over state affairs more than half a year ago, Shen Li’s methods were nothing short of vigorous and resolute, his approach to court matters extremely strict, utterly different from his former weakness.

The ministers were suffering immensely, trembling with fear every day they attended court, terrified of offending His Majesty.

They had expected to be severely punished today, but unexpectedly, the angered Emperor’s expression suddenly changed, with a hint of joy appearing in his captivating brows.

He instantly paid no attention to the documents in his hands or the ministers below, swiftly got up, and hurried outside.

A small figure like a cannonball collided with his embrace.

Someone who didn’t know might think it was some bold assassin!

"Tangtang?"

Shen Li, however, didn’t mind at all, catching the furry bundle steadily, looking at the little cat in his arms in surprise.

The delicate whiskers still quivered with tiny snowflakes, and her pair of dark, watery cat eyes looked at him both aggrievedly and joyfully, softly calling, "Shen Li!"

The snow on her whiskers fell off as she moved.

Since their last farewell, the two had not seen each other for a long time.

Upon hearing this familiar yet sweet call again, Shen Li felt his heart tremble. His charming fox-like eyes immediately curved into crescent shapes, teasing, "Hmm? Where did this little stray cat come from, not afraid of strangers, directly burrowing into my arms?"
