The Villainess Cannot Escape — Five Beast Husbands Chase Her Madly-Chapter 110: Teaching Him How to Be a Merman Husband
"Do you hate my touch that much?"
Su An’an’s fingertip traced the hollow of Lan Cangming’s throat. She chuckled. "Or is the great Mermaid Marshal afraid of being touched?"
She deliberately let her words linger, her other hand pressing against his taut waist. She felt the muscles underneath her palm tighten instantly.
"Don’t push your luck!"
Lan Cangming’s eyes were as if forged from ice, his tone cold and harsh.
But his fish tail betrayed him, rubbing against her calf again and again.
"Your tail is far more honest than your mouth."
The corner of Su An’an’s mouth curved up. Her fair fingers brushed over his abs, then circled over his hard, dark blue scales.
"Don’t touch me there!"
Lan Cangming’s Adam’s apple bobbed violently. He grabbed her wrists, but his grip was surprisingly weak.
"My dear Marshal, the examination isn’t over. Lie back down like a good boy!"
Su An’an easily broke free from his grasp, swung herself astride his silver-blue fish tail, and pinned him to the board, fastening the restraints.
Lan Cangming narrowed his eyes, a mocking smile on his lips. "You’ve been examining me for ages and found nothing. Are you sure you’re capable?"
’AHHH! How dare that icicle fish challenge your authority! Your Highness, hurry up and teach him a lesson!’
Little Pink’s tentacles transformed into a silvery-white electric baton. It wished it could leap into Su An’an’s hand and give the icicle fish a good thrashing.
’Be quiet!’
Su An’an mentally muted Little Pink for thirty seconds, then looked down at Lan Cangming with a cold smile. "Capable or not... why don’t you find out for yourself?"
Her loose hair brushed against the merman’s reddened ear fins. She deliberately drew circles on his scales with her palm, her fingertips tracing his V-line down toward his cool fish tail.
Lan Cangming’s pupils contracted into dangerous vertical slits. He lunged, grabbing her mischievous fingers.
"Ouch!"
Su An’an’s brow furrowed instantly. Her pained grunt was like a thorn stabbing into Lan Cangming’s heart.
He let go as if shocked, noticing a purple mark on Su An’an’s fair fingers.
"Why are you so rough?!"
Su An’an rubbed her wrist, her lips pouting in a picture of aggrievement.
The wave of concern in Lan Cangming’s eyes nearly shattered his cold facade, but he still said forcefully, "Get off."
His voice was terrifyingly hoarse, yet his tail subconsciously coiled to cushion her knees, as if afraid she might get bruised again!
’Damn icicle fish! Her Highness is serving herself to you on a platter, and you’re still playing the virtuous one!’
Little Pink’s tentacles turned into black restraints, dancing wildly above its head.
’Just take him by force, Your Highness! Teach this block of ice how to be a proper Beast Husband!’
’What’s the rush? Taming a block of ice takes time. But your suggestion does remind me that it’s time to get serious.’
A wicked smile played on Su An’an’s lips as she released her pheromones again.
The rich scent of liqueur-filled cream permeated the entire pool, thick and viscous like glue.
Lan Cangming’s eyes instantly glazed over as if he were tipsy, a faint blush rising on his cheeks.
"Lan Cangming, I’m telling you!"
"If you don’t let me finish this examination today, I’m not getting off."
Su An’an leaned down and bit hard on the merman’s collarbone. As her tongue swept across his skin, she clearly felt a shiver run through Lan Cangming’s instantly tensed muscles.
"Let go!"
A dangerous growl rumbled in Lan Cangming’s throat. Strange, dark patterns rippled across his silver-blue scales in response to his emotional turmoil.
He wanted to push Su An’an away, but her pheromones had left him weak, and his silver-blue fish tail swayed uncontrollably.
Taking advantage of his distraction, Su An’an sent a thread of her light green spiritual power seeping into his sea of consciousness.
Deep within his sea of consciousness, the S Level insignia inside his brilliant blue Beast Core was flickering in time with Lan Cangming’s frantic heartbeat.
The closer she got, the dimmer the S Level light became, until it was as precarious as a candle flickering in the wind.
’How could this be?’
Su An’an’s brow tightened. She pressed her palm against Lan Cangming’s feverish chest.
’Could it be that the Mermaid Clan’s power is tied to their emotions? Does falling for a Female Master cause their genes to degrade?’
’No wonder the Mermaid Clan has rarely intermarried with other clans all these years. It turns out they’re all physical, no feelings involved.’
Little Pink frantically made X-marks with its tentacles.
’Return to sender! Bad review!’
Su An’an was in no mood to deal with Little Pink’s complaints.
To confirm her suspicion, she leaned in and deliberately nibbled on his earlobe, her voice as sweet as honey. "Marshal, what’s really going on with your Beast Core?"
Her enchanting tone hid her deep concern. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Lan Cangming’s intoxicated expression vanished as if he’d been shocked. He shoved Su An’an away, scrambling back to the edge of the pool. His hoarse voice held a trace of vulnerability.
"Stop spying on me with your spiritual power!"
He clutched his chest in pain, his back arching like a bow as his Beast Core erupted with violent tremors.
"Don’t just endure it. Tell me how I can help you."
Su An’an ignored the indignity of being pushed away and lunged forward to support his trembling shoulders.
Like a cornered beast, Lan Cangming violently threw off her hand, his back slamming hard against the iron railing.
His eyelashes cast heavy shadows beneath his eyes, hiding the dark light churning within them as he rasped in a low roar.
"This is my business. It has nothing to do with you."
"Nothing to do with me?"
Su An’an gritted her teeth, cupped his face forcefully, and made him look up.
Faint, bloodshot streaks appeared in Lan Cangming’s beautiful blue-green eyes, a shocking sight.
Su An’an was both angry and heartbroken. Her throat tightened, and her voice caught with a sob she didn’t even notice.
"You are my Beast Husband, but your power drains away whenever I get close. How dare you say it has nothing to do with me?"
"If you don’t explain everything today, I’ll..."
The word "divorce" was on the tip of her tongue.
A sudden "BEEP BEEP BEEP" shattered their tense standoff.
’It’s a video call from Her Majesty the Queen.’
Little Pink quickly reminded her.
Su An’an frowned, and the hand cupping Lan Cangming’s face abruptly let go.
Freed from her grip, the merman reacted instantly. His silver-blue tail swept past like a bolt of lightning, and the current carried his slender form away. In the blink of an eye, he vanished into the shimmering light behind the archway.
In the empty palace, only the soft sound of churning water remained.
"Lan Cangming, you’ve got some nerve!"
Su An’an gripped the communicator tightly, staring in the direction the merman had disappeared. Two flames danced in her eyes. "You can run, but you can’t hide. Just you wait, I’ll deal with you later."
’That ungrateful icicle fish! Your Highness, just divorce him!’
Little Pink fumed, its thoughts exploding in her mind.
’Let’s go hold auditions in the Beastman Star Domain! We can pick a hundred cute little wolf boys who know how to cuddle and warm your bed!’
"No. I want him."
Su An’an suddenly smiled, her voice full of pride. "No matter how tough he is, I can grind him down to dust."
Little Pink hugged its round head and let out a mournful cry.
’But you can’t force love! A forced fish isn’t a tasty dish!’
’Your Highness, please don’t become a love-struck fool.’
"It might not be sweet, but it’ll quench my thirst. It might not be tasty, but it’ll satisfy my hunger! That mermaid is mine for the taking!"
Su An’an climbed out of the pool, straightened her appearance, and crisply answered Queen Jelena’s video call.
The moment the screen lit up, she had already put on a standard, sweet smile.
"Dearest Mother Empress, is there something you need?"
