The Villainess Cannot Escape — Five Beast Husbands Chase Her Madly-Chapter 116: Silent Again, Prying Open the Mermaid’s Mouth
Moonlight Palace, the cub’s bedroom.
Su An’an had just settled Qiuqiu in when Little Pink urged her impatiently:
[’Your Highness, didn’t Big Fish say he was going to bare all? Hurry up and take him to your room!’]
[’What’s the rush?’]
Su An’an looked down, adjusting the parameters of the thermostatic chamber, catching sight of Lan Cangming standing in the doorway out of the corner of her eye.
The Mermaid Marshal’s back was ramrod straight, his handsome face as tense as a block of thousand-year-old ice.
[’I’m worried that mouth Big Fish just grew is going to disappear again! The Mermaid Clan is notoriously tight-lipped. They just keep everything bottled up inside until it rots!’]
[’In the fairy tales from Ancient Earth, the Little Mermaid died without ever telling the prince that she was the one who had truly saved him.’]
[’His inner monologue right now is definitely the classic trio: I’m fine, don’t worry about me, I’d rather die than talk!’]
Little Pink was so anxious it was practically jumping up and down:
[’If you drag this out any longer, he’s going to turn back into a Frozen Fish.’]
[’That makes a lot of sense!’]
Su An’an turned to look at Lan Cangming.
His blue-green eyes were like a frozen, deep pool, but the slightest ripples appeared on their surface under her gaze.
"Let’s go. To the room."
Su An’an abruptly grabbed his ice-cold hand and strode quickly toward the bedroom.
The color of Lan Cangming’s eyes deepened. A wave-like, stinging pain pulsed from his Beast Core, yet he couldn’t bear to let go of her warm hand.
’Anan is in such a hurry. She must be super into me.’
’Even if my genes degrade today, I can’t let her down.’
Su An’an closed the bedroom door and immediately instructed Little Pink:
[’Do a full sweep for listening devices. We absolutely cannot let the Mermaid Clan’s secrets get out.’]
She glanced at Lan Cangming out of the corner of her eye and froze.
The Mermaid Marshal was standing straight by the bed, slowly and deliberately undoing his buttons as if he were in a scene from a romantic drama.
Looking at him, anyone who didn’t know better would have thought he was filming an adult version of *Uniform Seduction*.
CLICK.
The first button came undone. Warm light slipped through the gap in his collar, making his collarbone look like a meticulously carved work of art.
With every button he unfastened, it was like he was unboxing a limited-edition blind box. His movements were slow and seductive, and the air was practically crackling with suggestive energy.
His white marshal’s uniform and shirt slid off at the same time.
Su An’an secretly gulped.
’Damn, Lan Cangming’s body is basically a walking hormone factory.’
Below his fair neck were perfect pectoral muscles, abs that looked like they were carved from stone, and the smooth lines of his waist and abdomen.
Paired with his fresh, sea-salt scent, the room instantly turned into a scene of fluttering hearts and budding desire.
Little Pink was devouring the drama in her sea of consciousness, its eyes turning into a leering-grin emoji:
[’Your Highness, look! This Big Fish seems so cold and ascetic on the outside, but he’s actually secretly a total flirt! It’s not even dark yet and he’s already stripping to show off his muscles!’]
[’Don’t be ridiculous. Maybe the secret of the Beast Core is hidden in the definition of these muscles.’]
But Su An’an, acting like a rigorous academic, placed her fair fingers on Lan Cangming’s warm chest muscles.
’The texture is firm yet springy, like squeezing high-grade silicone.’
Little Pink immediately went into full-on drama mode, trying to dupe her with a serious tone:
[’Your Highness, I have a strong suspicion that you need to give them a few more squeezes. Maybe the secret will pop out just like a pimple!’]
Su An’an was stroking her chin, contemplating the feasibility of this suggestion.
Just then, Lan Cangming suddenly took off his pants. His long legs were pale and straight, more ridiculously perfect than a supermodel’s.
What was even more shocking was that his fingers were hooked on the edge of his briefs as he asked with a perfectly straight face, "Aren’t you going to undress?"
"What? I have to undress too?!"
Su An’an’s eyes went wide. She pointed a finger at her own nose and couldn’t help but complain to Little Pink in her sea of consciousness:
[’What kind of earth-shattering secret could the Mermaid Clan possibly have that requires us to be completely naked to hear it?’]
Little Pink put on a pair of black-rimmed glasses and adjusted them, affecting a profound air:
[’Your Highness, he’s demonstrating that the way to a male beast’s heart is... by clubbing a lychee! This is what you call performance art teaching!’]
[’I’ll club your head!’]
Su An’an’s ears instantly turned red, and she threatened, a mix of embarrassment and anger:
[’If you keep spouting nonsense, believe it or not, I’ll put you on the ten-thousand-year mute plan!’]
Little Pink let out a cry and squeezed out two streams of transparent, data-based tears:
[’Heaven and Earth are my witness, I’m trying to seriously help you analyze the situation, okay?’]
[’Otherwise, how do you explain that he’s even about to take off his underwear?’]
Lan Cangming’s fingers were still hooked on the edge of his briefs, his expression as serious as if he were in a war council:
"Female Master, would you prefer the bed, or the water?"
"What’s the difference?"
Su An’an asked subconsciously.
Although Lan Cangming’s ear fins were so red it looked like they could bleed, he maintained his marshal’s dignity, speaking with the gravity of someone giving a tactical briefing:
"The bed allows for more precise application of force."
"The water allows for a 360-degree, seamless fit. The Mermaid Clan can maximize the pleasure felt in the Female Master’s nerve endings."
Little Pink said excitedly:
[’You have to choose the water! Mermaids are invincible in the water. Whether he has a fishtail or human legs, he can give you a unique kind of enjoyment.’]
Su An’an was shocked: [’Enjoyment of what?’]
Little Pink gave a leering grin: [’Hehehe, the treatment a Female Master deserves, of course!’]
Su An’an’s eyes widened as she looked at Lan Cangming. "The secret you mentioned, don’t tell me it’s...?"
Looking at his nearly naked body, the realization finally dawned on her, belatedly:
"I brought you to the room because I want to know why your genes are suddenly degrading, not to do... *that* with you!"
The air instantly froze.
Lan Cangming froze in place, his ear fins abruptly fading from pink to a pearly white.
"I’m sorry. I misunderstood your intentions."
He quickly picked up his clothes, his movements still noble and elegant, but he fastened his buttons faster than ever before.
"I’ll go get some tea."
Su An’an considerately left the room. When she returned with a carved teapot, Lan Cangming was already sitting primly on the sofa.
His ice-blue hair was combed back immaculately. The buttons of his military uniform were fastened tightly all the way to his chin, and even the insignia on his cuffs were positioned at a perfect 45-degree angle.
[’AHHH!!’]
Little Pink collapsed in Su An’an’s sea of consciousness, wailing in despair:
[’Your Highness, a prime cut of fish was defrosted and served right to your lips, and you just pushed it away.’]
[’Even a nibble of the fish skin would have been good!’]
[’Be quiet! If I’m going to eat, I’m having the whole meal. What’s the point of just eating a piece of skin?’]
Su An’an considerately poured a cup of tea, offered it to Lan Cangming, and said softly, "Can you tell me your secret now?"
Lan Cangming lowered his gaze and accepted the white porcelain teacup, his long eyelashes hiding all the emotion in his eyes.
The air once again fell deathly silent.
The steam rising from the teacup formed a thin mist between them.
His thin, sensual lips were pressed tightly together, like two halves of a shut clamshell.
[’I knew it!’]
Little Pink’s shriek made Su An’an’s temples throb:
[’The block of ice’s mouth has been sealed with superglue again!’]
[’Your Highness! Go over there, pry his mouth open, and suck his tongue out! See if he still dares to play dumb!’]
[’Be quiet!’]
Su An’an frowned at Lan Cangming and coughed lightly twice.
Lan Cangming’s head shot up. His Adam’s apple bobbed twice, but he stubbornly pressed his lips together again.
"Lan Cangming."
Su An’an suddenly stood up and moved closer. She pinched his lips with her long, fair fingers and said through gritted teeth, "If you don’t talk now, I’m going to get really angry."
"I’m scared," Lan Cangming said suddenly.
