Если только те, кто находится между вами, могут использовать bs4 и replace
для удаления тегов p open и close
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs
html = '''
<div id="storytext"><p>"Go <em>away!</em>" His voice was drowned out by the mixer. She didn't even <em>hear</em> him. He could scrub it all day, probably, and Esti would just say <em>can't you do anything</em>? He scowled fiercely at the dirt.</p></div>
'''
soup = bs(html,'lxml')
for item in soup.select('p'):
print(str(item).replace('<p>','').replace('</p>',''))
Использование requests
для получения html
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs
r = requests.get('url')
soup = bs(r.content, 'lxml')
for item in soup.select('p'):
print(str(item).replace('<p>','').replace('</p>',''))
