A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 539 The System's Secrets Exposed!

That alluring voice carried a faint hint of laughter, sounding like old friends chatting after a long time apart, but the icy killing intent hidden in the voice pierced the heart like a knife.

It was Shen Li who had come from afar!
Before anyone knew it, Xue Yinzhou, Xiao Jin, and Lu Xiao had also appeared in the main hall, forming a siege and trapping Liu Ye in the middle!

Xue Yinzhou immediately made his move, the black mist transforming into a sharp blade that instantly pierced Liu Ye's neck. The speed was so fast that Liu Ye didn't even have time to react, only letting out a painful groan.

His forehead veins bulged, and he hurriedly retreated to try and create distance, but he was still injured.

Blood was gushing from the right side of his neck, and the bones inside were even faintly visible.

Ryuya quickly reached out to cover his injured neck, but blood continued to gush out from between his fingers, quickly staining his long, pale fingers red.

Before long, most of his clothes were stained red, and the blood spread in the seawater. His noble and aloof face turned deathly pale, and even his lips lost their color!
If he were any weaker, that attack would have killed him instantly!

Ryuya clutched his neck with one hand, staring at them grimly, his smile completely gone. He said coldly, "How did you end up here..."

He understood before he could finish speaking.

It was this female who had hidden the beastmen in her spatial storage beforehand; otherwise, how could he, a powerful Yuan Beast level expert, not have sensed the presence of an invading enemy?

Seeing that they can move freely in the deep sea without being affected at all, they must have eaten water-repelling beads.

I never expected they could get their hands on water-repelling beads; I really underestimated them!
At this moment, Shen Tang was no longer the pale and frightened woman she had been before. She looked down at the injured Liu Ye with a calm and cold gaze, as if everything was under her control.

She smiled enigmatically. "Thank you, Sea Emperor, for preparing such a 'grand gift' for me. I wonder if my 'return gift' is respectable enough?"

Her risky entry into this trap was ultimately worthwhile; she finally got to the bottom of things, resolved her long-standing doubts, and learned the truth she had always wanted to know.

Ryuya's face darkened further as he realized that the female had been acting all along, deliberately luring him into a trap!
The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind!

I never imagined that one day he would stumble on something like this.

Ryūya then sneered, "So what if you come? This is my territory. Do you really think I can just let you do whatever you want here!"

Xiao Jin's golden eyes burned with fighting spirit, a wicked smile curling at the corner of his mouth. His entire body was filled with violent lightning power, which gathered in his right fist, crackling loudly. "You talk big, let's see how it goes. Don't let yourself be just a pretty face!"

The battle erupted in an instant!
At the moment the energy reached its peak, the man's tall and strong body shot out like a swift black panther, rushing straight forward like an arrow piercing the sky!

Lightning roared in the sea, transforming into countless golden electric snakes that illuminated the surrounding waters. The punch slammed down with tremendous force!

"Overestimating yourself." Liu Ye sneered, and a thick wall of water instantly rose in front of him.

However, the lightning pierced through the water curtain and struck his body directly. The intense numbness caused his arm to twitch and his movements to slow down instantly.

In that brief moment, countless wind blades attacked from all directions.

Lu Xiao hovered in mid-air, his hands waving, and wind blades spun and intertwined in the seawater, forming a huge waterspout! Rocks and debris were frantically swept in, and even several agents who couldn't escape in time were torn to pieces!
Ryuya's movements were thus hindered, making it difficult for him to control the direction of his swim. He tried to retreat, but the terrifying wind force pulled him towards the center of the vortex like a magnet.

Ryūya raised his hand and once again condensed a powerful vortex to counterattack.

The two powerful supernatural abilities collided violently, completely shattering the waterspout! The entire palace shook violently, and large swathes of rubble collapsed! There was a sense of impending cataclysm!
"A mere trick! Since you dared to come here today, I'll make sure you don't leave alive!"

Liu Yejun's face was filled with even more killing intent. His powerful supernatural ability suddenly spread out, and the surrounding seawater instantly condensed into cold ice blades. One of the ice blades pierced through Lu Xiao's shoulder above!

"boom!"

The powerful impact sent Lu Xiao flying dozens of meters backward, pinning him to the stone wall like a nail, freezing and shattering the bones in his shoulder.

He frowned, a hint of pain in his eyes, but he didn't utter a sound. His deep, handsome face grew even paler as he quickly and forcefully pulled the icicle from his shoulder, which then slid to the ground.

"Ah Xiao!" Shen Tang instantly teleported to Lu Xiao's side, hugged half of his body, and a gentle healing power appeared in her palm, quickly healing the wound on his shoulder.

At the same time, she also activated her earth-based and mental abilities, attacking Ryuya relentlessly.

These attacks were nothing to Liu Ye, but these petty squabbles, like annoying ants, hindered his movements and slowed him down considerably. He was also struggling to cope with the attacks from so many people.

Snow Hidden Boat appeared behind Liu Ye like a ghost, its black mist forming a sharp blade that pierced straight at the fish's tail.

The black mist was extremely eerie, easily penetrating Liu Ye's protective barrier and leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound on his beautiful fishtail, with blood mist spreading into the seawater.

"You're asking for death!" Liu Ye turned around in pain, and countless ice crystals shot towards Xueyin Boat like a torrential rain.

However, Xue Yinzhou's figure suddenly vanished, turning into a sky full of black mist that devoured all the attacks.

The next second, the black mist condensed into a ferocious giant serpent, which opened its blood-red maw and bit at Liu Ye's throat!
In the critical moment, Liu Ye barely managed to conjure a water dragon to counterattack.

The water dragon and the black snake were locked in a fierce battle, causing the seawater to churn violently.

Just as Ryūya was dealing with the situation with all her might, a blazing flame suddenly ignited in the deep sea.

Shen Li had appeared behind him at some point, a crimson flame leaping in his palm, which even the seawater could not extinguish. "Your Highness Liu Ye, today, your opponent is me."

A dazzling flame erupted around Shen Li, spreading out like a tidal wave from his center. The sea of ​​fire rapidly expanded, igniting a raging inferno across the entire ocean!

The flames in his palm transformed into chains, instantly binding Liu Ye's body.

The chains were as heavy as a thousand pounds, rendering him unable to move!
Shen Li looked at the bound mermaid youth. His long, beautiful fox eyes held a gentle smile, yet they exuded a chilling killing intent. "The Yiyuan Empire and the Sea Kingdom have been at peace for thousands of years. I had prepared a generous gift for Liu Ye's coronation ceremony next month. But Your Highness should not have set your sights on someone you shouldn't have."

"If the Sea Kingdom wants to wage war against the Night Glow Empire, my Yiyuan Empire will certainly not stand idly by."

He raised his long, slender, jade-like hand and pressed it down sharply.

"what!"

Ryuya crashed to the ground with a loud thud, letting out a scream!
The ground instantly shattered into pieces, and the earth shook violently as if an earthquake had struck. Liu Ye's magnificent robes were torn to shreds, and she was covered in wounds, looking utterly disheveled. She was no longer the composed and noble woman she had been at the beginning; her fair and aloof face was now bluish-purple, splattered with blood.

He grimaced in pain, his deep purplish-red eyes turning even redder, filled with angry bloodshot veins, and a metallic taste of blood rose in his throat as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

No matter how strong Liu Ye is, he can't fight against four people. If the opponents were all tenth-level beastmen, it would be fine, but there is also Shen Li, who is the same level as him, on the other side.

His strength has not yet reached its peak, and he knows very well that he is doomed to lose today.

Liu Ye clutched her chest and staggered to her feet. A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her pale lips. Suppressing her anger and resentment, she decided to give up the fight and try to escape.

Unexpectedly, just as he flew into the air above the domain, he was blocked by a barrier and could no longer fly out. Instead, he was violently bounced back by this force and crashed heavily into several stone pillars again!
Only then did he see that faint red runes were floating above the domain, forming an invisible barrier that trapped the entire space inside.

Shen Li landed gracefully, still smiling, and slowly walked towards him. "Knowing you were going to run away, I set up a formation to seal you in advance."

"If I can seal you once, I can seal you a second time."

Today's banquet, a trap set by a conspiracy, has finally revealed the true identity of the person they intended to invite.

Shen Tang and the beastmen surrounded Liu Ye.

"This time, you have nowhere to escape."

Liu Ye clutched his chest, backing away step by step, his face extremely gloomy.

"A bunch of idiots, you're risking your lives for this female, it's ridiculous."

Liu Ye suddenly turned her head and stared straight at Shen Tang, her eyes seeming to see through the deepest secrets in her heart, revealing that no secret could be hidden.

Shen Tang's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and a bad premonition welled up inside her.

Liu Ye suddenly laughed, but instead addressed the other beastmen, revealing a shocking secret.
"Do you really think she loves you? It's just a task assigned to her by the system; you're merely tools for her to complete that task!"

When Shen Tang heard this, her expression froze on her face, as if she had misheard.

How did Ryūya know about the system?

No, he's already colluded with those agents, so he must have learned about her system from them!

A chilling sensation seemed to suddenly shoot from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. Shen Tang's face turned deathly pale, cold sweat broke out all over her body, and she trembled slightly. "You, what nonsense are you talking about..."

She instinctively wanted to refute, but she had no reason to refute it, and she couldn't even convince herself.

Xiao Jin was even more enraged and embarrassed, wishing he could punch the young man's smug face. Just looking at him was infuriating. "What nonsense are you spouting? What system or what? I don't understand. No matter what you say today, you're going to die!"

Shen Li also frowned slightly, the smile in his fox-like eyes disappeared, and his aura became cold and unpredictable.

Xue Yinzhou had no idea what Liu Ye was talking about.

He stood silently beside Shen Tang, keenly sensing that something was wrong with her. She seemed to be inexplicably nervous. Too lazy to think about anything else, he took her soft hand in his long, slender hand and held it in his palm. Although it was cold, his voice was deep and gentle, "Tangtang, don't be afraid. I only believe in you and will always stand by your side."

He has always been a man of few words, and he doesn't offer sweet words of comfort. His words are always concise, yet they carry the power to soothe the soul.

He seemed like he would always be by her side.

He was her beastly husband, and also her secret guard, unconditionally standing on his master's side.

But what if the owner's identity was fake from the very beginning?

But what if she wasn't the female protagonist he married at all?
Even her love was a calculated scheme with ulterior motives.

Shen Tang's breathing suddenly became rapid, as if someone was choking her and she couldn't breathe. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't utter a word.

Upon hearing Liu Ye's words, a fleeting look of surprise crossed Lu Xiao's handsome and profound face. He then looked intently at Shen Tang, taking in her emotions.

He naturally noticed the change in her expression, sensing her fear and tension. Seemingly thoughtful, he whispered, "Mistress, is what he said true?"

Looking at the four beastmen's distinctly different but equally bewildered expressions, Liu Ye coughed, clutching his chest, but his smile widened. "It seems you're all unaware. Sure enough, you're just like that fool, pitiful souls kept in the dark by this hypocritical female!"

Liu Ye possesses all of Jia Lan's memories, so he naturally knows what Shen Tang has done over the years.

Ryūya's voice grew increasingly sarcastic, "You think she's so good to you because of your self-righteous love? How utterly foolish and ridiculous! Female love is the most false and useless thing in the world."

"The reason she's so nice to you is because she's bound to a system and has a mission to win you over. Only by winning you over and gaining your love can she get endless rewards, transform herself from an ordinary ugly duckling into what she is today, become a tenth-tier beastman from a useless person, and rise from an exiled criminal to a position above thousands!"

"She's nothing but a hypocritical bloodsucker. She approached you with ulterior motives from the very beginning. Everything she has gained has come from you. She's been using you all along!"

The air at the scene suddenly became deathly still, as if a stagnant pool of water had stopped flowing, and the four beastmen were all stunned.

Memories that were almost forgotten long ago seem to resurface.

Lu Xiao, Xiao Jin, Shen Li, and Xue Yinzhou all remembered.

Back then, Shen Tang was an obese and ugly female whose mental energy was completely wasted. She was vicious, shameless, and repulsive. But one day, she suddenly seemed to have become a different person.

My whole being has undergone a complete transformation.

It has gradually become the way they know it today.

Lu Xiao and the others used to find it very puzzling why she had changed so much. However, since females don't say anything, they all pretended not to know. It turns out that it was because... she had a system.

Is her mission to win their love?
Four thousand words! Two chapters combined into one.
