The Villainess Cannot Escape — Five Beast Husbands Chase Her Madly-Chapter 108: Mermaid, Undress for a Physical Examination
’Your Highness, you can’t eat that.’
Little Pink cupped its face with its paws, mimicking a scream.
’A Level 3S Beastman can digest even steel bars! With your delicate constitution, a single bite would land you in a medical pod!’
With a cold expression, Lan Cangming swallowed a bite of the charcoal-like steak, his already pale face turning even ghastlier.
"Slow down, don’t choke."
Su An’an frowned, pushing a glass of pale green lemonade toward him.
But Lan Cangming acted as if he hadn’t seen it, picking up a glass of warm water beside him and gulping it down, not even bothering to spare her a glance.
’What the hell! What’s with this ice-cube fish? Is he treating Your Highness like she’s invisible?!’
Little Pink’s tentacles flew about in anger.
’Your Highness, use Technique 108 from the *Interstellar Beast Flirting Ultimate Guide*! Just go ahead and touch his abs, let’s see if he can keep pretending then!’
A holographic tutorial unfolded in Su An’an’s sea of consciousness, its exaggerated moves enough to make her blush and her heart pound.
’Just watch how I handle him.’
Lan Cangming’s attitude had gotten to Su An’an as well.
’The more this ice-cube fish tried to shut her out...’
’...the more she wanted to tear away his cold facade.’
’She’d see just how long he could keep it up.’
Su An’an rose gracefully to get some water, her fingertips "accidentally" brushing against the back of his cool hand.
The scent of liqueur-filled cream, which she had been deliberately suppressing, was released right in his face.
"COUGH, COUGH!"
As Lan Cangming smelled the rich fragrance, his Adam’s apple couldn’t help but bob.
The warm water caught in his throat, and he coughed until his cheeks turned red.
’He’s blushing, he’s panting, and his heart rate is up!’
Little Pink said excitedly.
’Your Highness, strike while the iron is hot! Touch his Adam’s apple!’
"Your Adam’s apple..."
Su An’an put on a sweet voice and was about to move closer when a soft, squeaky sound came from behind her.
Having finished his meal, little Qiuqiu was hugging his Big Pearl, pointing a small paw at the glass in Lan Cangming’s hand.
"Mermaid Uncle, you have to drink water slowly, like Qiuqiu!"
Wagging his little tail, Su Qiuqiu very seriously picked up the Seven-star Dew Milk in front of him and took small sips to demonstrate for Lan Cangming.
Lan Cangming’s fingers tightened around the glass. He turned his face away, coughed lightly, and the tips of his ears grew an even deeper shade of red.
’He never would have imagined that he, the Mermaid Marshal who dominated battlefields, would not only lose face in front of his Female Master over a disastrous meal, but also be lectured on how to drink water by a little beast cub.’
Qiuqiu drank until a milk foam mustache formed around his little mouth. He then turned to look at Su An’an, his expression clearly asking for a reward.
"Good boy, Qiuqiu!"
Su An’an was dying from his cuteness.
She immediately picked him up and gave him two loud kisses.
Little Qiuqiu giggled shyly, his tail coiling up like a mosquito coil in his excitement.
Lan Cangming watched Su An’an and Qiuqiu interact.
The scales on his wrist suddenly opened, and a dull pink pearl slid into his palm.
The heart-wrenching warning his sister gave him as she dissolved into seafoam echoed in his mind:
"Brother, you absolutely cannot fall in love."
"You must not let the mermaid’s curse spread."
When he looked up again, his eyes held nothing but an icy frost that pushed everyone away.
’Your Highness, the perfect opportunity for the seduction plan was completely ruined by that little cub.’
Little Pink cried out in dissatisfaction.
’Quick, send him away and continue with the Adam’s-apple-touching plan!’
’According to the *Interstellar Love Big Data*, the Big Fish’s wariness level has already dropped by more than half!’
Su An’an, hugging the fluffy Qiuqiu, wasn’t in any hurry with her plan.
’Haste makes waste. Besides, it’s not like he can run away.’
Qiuqiu caught a glimpse of Lan Cangming’s suddenly cold expression, and the tip of his little tail instantly went stiff.
He rubbed his eyelids pitifully with his paws, pretending to be sleepy.
"Your Highness, Qiuqiu is sleepy. Qiuqiu wants to go sleepy-sleep!"
"Then go to sleep!"
Su An’an kissed his little head and was about to place him in the thermostatic cub pod.
But Lan Cangming stood up, took Qiuqiu from her, and placed him steadily into the two-meter-long pink thermostatic pod.
Qiuqiu immediately hugged his Big Pearl, closed his eyes, and fell asleep in an instant, letting out cute little purrs from his throat.
Lan Cangming rubbed his little ears, then turned to go back to his room without even looking at Su An’an.
"Stop!"
Su An’an grabbed Lan Cangming’s sleeve and said, displeased, "Do you really not want to see me that much?"
"No."
Lan Cangming’s long lashes drooped slightly, hiding the turbulent undercurrent in his eyes as he turned and pulled away from Su An’an’s grip.
"If you meant that, then sit down."
Su An’an jutted her chin toward the empty seat opposite her.
Lan Cangming pressed his lips together and sat down, his face cold.
The warm light from the crystal chandelier sprinkled across the tips of his ice-blue hair, but it couldn’t melt the faint, almost imperceptible distance between his brows.
Su An’an frowned, staring at his pale complexion. "You’ve been looking so pale. Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Lan Cangming’s fingers, resting on his knees, curled slightly. He lowered his gaze to avoid hers. "I’m fine, just a little tired."
His tone was calm, but he couldn’t hide the slight hoarseness in his voice.
"Let me check on you."
Su An’an got up and stood before Lan Cangming.
The green Big Mouth Whiskers in her palm transformed into a vine, but the moment it touched Lan Cangming’s hair, it was repelled by a cold aura.
"There’s no need."
Lan Cangming’s voice was as cold as an Ice Spike, his entire body radiating an aura that kept others at a distance.
"This isn’t a discussion. It’s an order!"
Su An’an was angry.
She slammed one hand on the table, leaned forward, and stared down at Lan Cangming.
"I don’t care if you’re the Mermaid Marshal or an interstellar war god. In my presence, if you’re sick, you get treated!"
Lan Cangming’s eyelashes trembled violently, and a flicker of surprise passed through his pupils.
’He never thought that the once delicate and soft female would transform into such a domineering Female Master, radiating an overwhelming pressure.’
"Sit still!"
Giving Lan Cangming no chance to refuse, Su An’an held his face steady with both hands as her Big Mouth Whiskers shot forcefully into his sea of consciousness.
Lan Cangming’s pupils contracted. He wanted to struggle but found himself completely immobilized by Su An’an.
He could only watch helplessly as she forced her way into his sea of consciousness. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Within that deep blue ocean, the patterns on the surface of his fish-shaped Beast Core were twisting bizarrely.
Of the three S Level symbols that had once shone side-by-side, one of them was dimming at a visible rate, as if it were corroded metal.
’What’s wrong with the Big Fish? His level is about to drop?’
Little Pink’s voice shot up an octave.
’The quality of a 3S Big Fish and a Level 2S Big Fish are worlds apart! If he drops a level, the absorption effect will be much weaker.’
’What’s the difference between this and getting short-changed?’
Su An’an ignored Little Pink’s screeching.
She frowned, her brow furrowed as she stared at the dimming Fish Core.
’The last time Lan Cangming was given that Forbidden Medicine, his Beast Core remained as steady as a mountain through two consecutive fevers. Why would it suddenly become so weak this time?’
"Could it be a lack of Energy?"
She muttered to herself as her "power bank" tentacles suddenly enveloped the Fish Core.
Lan Cangming’s pupils shrank. He arched his back, struggling to sever the mental connection.
"Don’t move, I’m charging you!"
Su An’an injected Energy into it, but she was repelled by the Fish Core, and the light of the S Level symbol dimmed even more.
Fine beads of sweat broke out on her forehead, her eyes filled with shock and anxiety. "Lan Cangming, what on earth is wrong with you?"
Lan Cangming bit his lower lip so hard that the taste of blood filled his mouth. "I’m fine."
"Your level is about to drop, and you still say you’re fine?"
Su An’an suddenly grabbed him by the collar, pulling him toward her.
The tips of their noses were almost touching.
"Don’t give me that! A Beast Core mutation means either going berserk, being injured, or having your Energy depleted, but none of those fit your situation!"
Lan Cangming lowered his gaze, avoiding Su An’an’s dark eyes, which were filled with worry. His nails dug deep into his palms.
"It’ll get better after a while."
"After a while, you’ll be crippled!"
Su An’an abruptly let go.
The pressure radiating from her skyrocketed. She lifted her chin to a dangerous angle and pointed at the medical room. "You. Get to the medicine pool immediately. Strip naked and wait for my examination."
