Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 623

Chapter 623: Chapter 561: Picking Up a Child on the Road

On the way back, they weren’t in any rush. Shen Tang didn’t use the teleportation array, nor did she take a spaceship. She simply marched along with the team. It was the perfect chance to inspect the cities and tribes along the way.

Even though she could receive reports from officials all over while in the Imperial City, it just wasn’t the same as experiencing the people’s lives firsthand. With this opportunity, of course she wasn’t going to let it go to waste.

The trip ended up being longer this way, and it would take about a week to get back to the Imperial City.

On the first day of the march, they hadn’t fully left the Northern Territory.

Outside the caravan window, heavy snow fell thick as goose feathers. All she could see was a boundless world sealed in white, stretching to the ends of sight.

Even though it was already evening, the snow reflected so much light that it was still bright as day— the whole sky stayed light.

She pulled the curtains shut, finally blocking out that blinding white glow. The interior of the car grew dim.

Jia Lan came flying out from her dimensional space and flopped down on her chest, moping, "I hate that lovesick fool from the Eternal Winter Empire!"

If he hadn’t worried about scaring people and exposing secrets, Jia Lan would have jumped out and kicked him ages ago!

Shen Tang scooped the little guy into her arms and kissed his puffed-up cheek, laughing dotingly, "Jealous, huh?"

Jia Lan tugged gently at her hair. "Yeah, I am jealous."

It was bad enough not being able to be by her side, but now there were all these twittering chicks trying to swoop in; just thinking about it made Jia Lan feel wronged.

"That spoiled rich boy from the trading firm—sure, he’s not bad looking, but compared to you? He doesn’t even come close. How could I possibly like him?" Shen Tang declared with absolute conviction.

Only then did Jia Lan cheer up.

"By the way, how are things going in the sea area?"

"The spread of pollution has been temporarily contained." At this, Jia Lan sounded both relieved and helpless.

As the new Sea Race High Priest, his powers were even stronger than his father’s. But that also meant he couldn’t leave the Divine Hall— otherwise, the hard-won balance would crumble all over again.

Shen Tang felt a faint pang of sorrow, but still forced a smile, lowered her head, and kissed his cheek again. "It’s all your achievement. I’m so proud of you, Ah Lan."

Far away in the sea area thousands of miles off, Jia Lan seemed to feel that gentle touch as well. He absentmindedly reached up and touched his cheek.
