The Villainess Cannot Escape — Five Beast Husbands Chase Her Madly-Chapter 106: Scheming Fish or Scheming Dragon
Night Abyss crossed his arms, his scarlet, vertical pupils glinting with amusement. He secretly hoped Lan Cangming would lose his temper with Qiuqiu.
That way, he could step in to mediate and score some points with Su An’an.
Make her like him even more.
Su Qiuqiu’s soft, fluffy white fur stood on end, and it pressed its tiny pink paws together.
Its big, watery eyes welled up with tears as it pleaded pitifully,
"Qiuqiu will be good!"
"Qiuqiu can sleep in a cage, or even a trash can."
"Just a few leftovers every day is enough."
"As long as I can stay by the Princess’s side, Qiuqiu will do anything."
Its humble, pitiful appearance could break a beast’s heart.
"Qiuqiu, don’t be like that!"
Su An’an’s heart twisted in pain, and her eyes couldn’t help but turn red.
’That detestable Lan Cangming! He doesn’t have a compassionate bone in his body. I was so wrong about him!’
Su An’an looked up angrily, about to condemn the Big Fish for being so cold and heartless.
But unexpectedly, he pulled a white pearl the size of a baby’s fist from his pocket and offered it to Qiuqiu.
"A gift for you!"
His voice was as cool as ever, but it held a hint of imperceptible gentleness.
Qiuqiu looked timidly at Lan Cangming, surprised to see a faint warmth in the depths of his ice-green eyes.
’This scary-looking Uncle Big Fish doesn’t hate me after all.’
’And he even gave me such a beautiful present.’
"What is this?"
Su An’an asked in surprise as she picked up the white Big Pearl.
It was cool to the touch, with a superior texture, and its soft luster was as gentle as moonlight in the deep sea.
Little Pink exploded with a series of exclamation points in Su An’an’s sea of consciousness:
[’This is a Deep Sea Moon Pearl! It can purify spiritual power and soothe a cub’s mind. You could sell it on the black market for at least a million Gold Coins a piece.’]
Then, its tone turned sour:
[’Is the Big Fish an idiot? He hasn’t seen you in forever, and he gives a huge treasure to the cub but doesn’t think to bring you anything?’]
[’He needs to figure out who he’s actually supposed to be buttering up!’]
But Su An’an’s eyes curved into crescents as she smiled, even happier than if she had received the gift herself.
She brought the softly glowing Big Pearl to Qiuqiu and said gently,
"Hurry and thank Uncle Big Fish. This is a very precious gift!"
"Thank you, Uncle Big Fish!"
Qiuqiu hugged the Big Pearl tightly with its little paws, its small, fluffy cheeks flushing red as it shyly burrowed into Su An’an’s arms.
"Hehehe! Who would’ve thought you like cubs so much."
Night Abyss curled his lips, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes.
He ground his teeth in secret.
’That damned Frozen Fish, he’s such a good actor.’
’He acts all cold and distant on the surface, but then he snatches all of Su An’an’s attention with a single Big Pearl.’
Lan Cangming gave Night Abyss a faint glance, then turned to Su An’an and said in a business-like tone,
"Female Master, if there are no other orders, I’m going to inspect the defense systems."
With that, he turned and left, his long blue hair tracing a cold, hard arc, showing no sign of reluctance to leave.
’Huh?’
Su An’an stared blankly at his back, and Qiuqiu, nestled in her arms, also tilted its head in confusion.
Little Pink ranted frantically:
[’Is there something wrong with the Big Fish? Did he get his brain clamped in a seashell?’]
[’He’s impossibly gentle with the cub, but the moment he turns to you, Your Highness, he’s all cold-faced. Does he really think he’s the iron-fisted captain of the guard?’]
[’He really looks unwell.’]
Su An’an’s brow furrowed slightly.
The last time on the warship, Lan Cangming had exhausted all his strength to protect her.
But before she could even thank him properly, the Big Fish had hastily returned to the Canglan Sea Area.
’He must have been feeling unwell even back then.’
Su An’an hugged Qiuqiu tightly and was about to chase after Lan Cangming, but Night Abyss subtly blocked her path.
"The Big Fish is going to check on security. You shouldn’t disturb him."
"Lan Cangming seems to be injured."
Su An’an asked worriedly, "What was the reason he gave for his sick leave?"
"Don’t believe him. He’s faking it."
Night Abyss rubbed his arm, his brow twitching slightly.
"He had plenty of strength when he was beating me up just now."
He rolled up his sleeve to reveal a pale arm with a large patch of blue frostbite on the wrist.
"How did you get hurt?"
Su An’an leaned in nervously, placing her warm palm against the frostbitten skin.
"Ow!"
Night Abyss grunted, his eyelashes trembling slightly. "I just recovered my 3S Gene. My control over my power isn’t as refined as the Big Fish’s yet."
"Then why did you still provoke him?"
Su An’an shot Night Abyss a look, but her fingers released Snake Fang Tentacles that gently caressed the frostbite on his wrist.
While she was focused on healing him, Night Abyss suddenly reached out and grabbed Qiuqiu by the scruff of its neck.
"SQUEAK SQUEAK!"
The little cub cried out in alarm, its paws still clinging desperately to the Big Pearl as its small pink tail flailed in panic.
"There, there. Be quiet!"
Night Abyss’s tone was gentle, but his eyes were extremely dangerous.
Su Qiuqiu was placed on the table, where it hugged the Big Pearl and didn’t dare to make a sound.
’SOB SOB SOB, Uncle Poison Dragon is so scary!’
"Are you bullying Qiuqiu again?"
Su An’an looked up and angrily pinched Night Abyss’s wound.
"I’m not bullying it!"
Night Abyss pulled Su An’an into his arms with a wronged expression, resting his chin heavily on her shoulder.
"Qiuqiu has the Big Pearl, so I need some comfort from my Female Master too."
[’Princess, don’t trust this scheming dragon.’]
Little Pink pouted and said irritably,
[’He got himself injured on purpose to win your sympathy.’]
[’It’s fine. Even a paranoid, dark, psycho dragon is pretty adorable when he tries to act cute.’]
Su An’an decided to indulge him a little, touching her forehead to his.
"Alright, alright. I’ll comfort you."
The Snake Fang Tentacles entered his sea of consciousness, gently soothing his Beast Core.
Night Abyss’s entire body tensed up, feeling as if countless gentle hands were massaging his scalp and his whole body.
He hugged Su An’an tightly, a suppressed groan escaping his throat.
His black dragon tail appeared uncontrollably and wrapped tightly around Su An’an’s ankle.
A rich, floral fragrance filled the entire dining room.
Su An’an felt like a treasure chest, being nuzzled all over by the Poison Dragon who held her in his arms.
After his restless claws undid two of her collar buttons, they tried to go further, as if to open the chest and feel the treasure inside.
Qiuqiu sat on the table, its big eyes curiously staring at Night Abyss, who was stuck to the Princess.
Seeing that Su An’an seemed quite happy, it lowered its head and went back to playing with the Big Pearl.
"That’s enough!"
Su An’an quickly pressed down on Night Abyss’s audacious claws.
’Getting turned on in the living room in broad daylight.’
’He might be shameless, but I still have some shame to preserve.’
Night Abyss leaned against her, the corners of his eyes tinged with crimson.
His warm, fragrant breath washed over her pristine earlobe, and his voice was sickeningly sweet.
"Let’s go to the room, okay?"
"I just learned some new moves. I guarantee the Female Master will be satisfied."
[’Princess, if you can’t have the fish, having some dragon is still nourishing. After all, who knows when you’ll get to eat next.’]
Little Pink giggled mischievously.
[’Taking a sip of top-tier Dragon Energy won’t just help the Big Fish heal, it’s also great for your skin!’]
The floral scent of Night Abyss filled Su An’an’s nose.
All his nuzzling had her heart racing and her body stirring.
"Aren’t you in a hurry to get to work?"
Her hands pushed against Night Abyss’s chest, feigning resistance.
Her thoughts wavered, torn between sleeping with him and not.
"No rush, there’s still time. We can..."
Before Night Abyss could finish, his communicator rang as if heralding his doom.
