The Villainess Cannot Escape — Five Beast Husbands Chase Her Madly-Chapter 156: Big Cat Absorbs Anan’s Energy and Breaks Through
The crystal chandelier suddenly began to jingle, shaken by the Big Cat’s overflowing Energy.
The entire room was shrouded in a faint pink mist, a blend of peach cream and Tequila pheromones.
"The *Female Master Guidebook* is a pack of lies."
The Big Cat suddenly nudged open her slipping collar with the tip of his nose, his breath ghosting over the hollow of her collarbone.
"There isn’t a single page in there that teaches me how to resist possessing you."
The moment his sharp canines grazed Su An’an’s waistline,
she trembled and grabbed his furry tiger ears as beads of moisture fell onto Ying Jiuyao’s tense back.
He suddenly wrapped his tail around Su An’an’s waist and flipped her over. Silver tiger stripes surfaced on his honey-colored skin, shimmering with a dangerous luster in the light.
"But for the Tail Entwining Technique on page 209, you have to bite here first!"
As his soft, pink paw pads brushed against her calf, the sound of silken sheets being clawed and wrinkled mingled with a suppressed gasp.
"My Female Master is so sweet!"
The Big Cat looked up, his expression one of pure satisfaction.
"Now let me have a taste of you!"
Not to be outdone, Su An’an flipped over and pinned the Big Cat down.
The instant the tips of her teeth touched the silver patterns on his neck, the Big Cat let out a low growl that was almost a whimper.
The entire featherbed sank abruptly. His palm cradled the nape of her neck as their Tequila and peach cream pheromones enveloped them in a cocoon.
The scattered *Female Master Guidebook* flipped open of its own accord.
It finally landed on the scandalous illustration on page 209, a page worn smooth by repeated claw marks.
"How about we skip all the strategies and go straight to the final Chapter?"
Ying Jiuyao licked the fine beads of sweat from behind Su An’an’s ear, the muscles of his waist and abdomen tensing into a stunning arc.
"Then get on with it!"
Su An’an lifted her head impatiently and nipped the corner of his mouth. The Divine Pattern on her lower back began to burn again.
The scorching Energy seemed to set the very air ablaze.
Ying Jiuyao lowered his head and captured her lips, all unspoken words melting into a breath sweeter than nectar.
Amidst the surging Energy, the featherbed began to levitate, slowly transforming into a giant, pinkish-white flower bud.
Soft petals enveloped the two of them, layer upon layer.
Ying Jiuyao’s silver patterns and Su An’an’s beast patterns intertwined, flowing across their skin with the shimmer of a distant galaxy.
The Energy surged like a tide before finally converging into a brilliant vortex.
The Big Cat’s breathing grew heavier. His fangs pierced her skin gently, greedily drawing out the excess Energy from her body.
Su An’an’s fever gradually subsided. The Divine Pattern was no longer chaotic; it reverted back to a delicate, S Level beast pattern.
Ying Jiuyao’s tail remained tightly wrapped around her waist, the muscles of his abdomen tensing and then relaxing.
Finally, with a low, completely satiated growl, he pulled her into his arms.
"Anan!"
His voice was impossibly hoarse. He nuzzled the top of her head, contentedly sniffing her sweet peach scent.
"Be quiet."
Su An’an’s eyelids were so heavy they felt glued together. The fist she threw landed harmlessly in a soft paw pad.
She simply snuggled deeper into the Big Cat’s embrace, and her breathing soon evened out.
Ying Jiuyao gazed down at Su An’an’s flushed cheeks, a contented purr rumbling in his throat.
He licked the top of her head and caressed her palm, savoring the soft warmth of having his Female Master all to himself.
Just then, a strange ripple of energy surged through his body.
His Genetic Lock was loosening. He had a chance to break through to 4S.
Level 3S was the known genetic peak for a Beastman.
But now, he could clearly feel a crack forming in that once-indestructible barrier.
He watched as golden sparks of electricity crackled in his palm.
Legend had it that a 4S Beastman could create a King’s Domain, suppressing all other Beastmen of a lower level.
A jolt of ecstasy shot through the Big Cat’s body, and his Gilded Beast Eyes glittered in the darkness.
But in the next second, a tide of fear drowned him.
’Why?’
’Why could Anan’s Energy let him break through his genetic limits?’
’What did this mean? What exactly *is* she?’
The Big Cat looked down at the sleeping Female Master in his arms, his fingertips trembling.
’Could she really be...?’
"What’s wrong, Big Cat?"
Su An’an awoke in Ying Jiuyao’s suddenly tightening embrace, sleep still clinging to her lashes.
"Why are you holding me so tight?"
She looked up, only to be met with a turbulent undercurrent in his Gilded Beast Eyes, like the ocean before a storm, its violent waves hidden beneath a calm surface.
"Is something wrong?"
Su An’an raised a hand to smooth his furrowed brow and noticed beads of cold sweat forming on his temples.
The Big Cat suddenly pulled her tighter into his embrace, his arms squeezing with the fear of someone trying to snatch away his most precious treasure.
His heart hammered like a war drum, and unease churned in his chest. A terrible suspicion had already taken root in the depths of his heart.
"Anan, my Genetic Lock is loosening."
The Big Cat’s throat worked, and his tail slapped anxiously against the mattress.
"I might be able to break through to 4S."
"That’s a good thing!"
Su An’an’s eyes lit up. Her fingertips reflexively began to scratch the soft fur behind his ears.
"Interaction between a female and her Beast Husband is supposed to promote evolution. Why else would those male beasts chase after High-level Females so desperately?"
Her words were like a dull knife, sawing back and forth across the Big Cat’s heart.
"It’s different!"
The Big Cat suddenly caught her fingertip between his teeth, holding it gently, as if it were a fragile piece of candy.
"A normal High-level Female can’t even get close to the Level 3S barrier. Not even a Holy Female can... unless..."
The two words, "Divine Female," felt scalding on his tongue, but he forced them back down his throat.
He didn’t dare to look into her eyes, afraid of seeing the same dawning horror and fear reflected there.
Su An’an’s fingertip trembled violently. She hurriedly asked Little Pink in her sea of consciousness:
*’What’s going on? Didn’t you say that draining all my Energy would stop the Divine Pattern from forming?’*
*’Your Highness, this Divine Pattern of yours is something else! It hasn’t even fully formed, and it’s already letting your Beast Husband break through his genetic limits.’*
Little Pink’s voice was filled with panic, its tentacles quivering in fear like strips of kelp.
*’If it fully forms, you’ll basically become a super-charger! Anyone who gets a boost from you will be able to soar!’*
*’According to Interstellar records, a Divine Female who could enhance Beastman genetics was discovered in a fringe star system three hundred years ago.’*
*’Within three days, seventy-six wars broke out across the entire star system.’*
*’The Divine Female’s mated Beast Husband was killed in the fighting. The family that captured her didn’t dare keep her for themselves. They kept her in a cage studded with Energy Stones, let their High Level Beastmen take turns absorbing her Energy, and then sold her to the next family.’*
*’In the end, Divine Females like that either die from having their Energy drained to depletion, or their wombs rupture during forced impregnation.’*
Little Pink suddenly let out a wail.
*’Your Highness, I don’t want that to happen to you! You’d have been better off staying useless!’*
’Useless people have their own ways of dying. Crying won’t help. I need to find a way to suppress this damned Divine Pattern.’
Su An’an suppressed the panic rising in her heart and subconsciously touched her lower back. The burning sensation was gone. Her skin was smooth as jade, with no trace of any raised pattern.
"Anan, you really are..."
The Big Cat’s paw gently caressed her cheek, his gaze a mixture of terror and inquiry.
Su An’an snapped back to reality and denied it firmly.
"Don’t let your imagination run wild! You must have broken through because you stored up enough Energy yourself. I was so useless before, how could I possibly be..."
Ying Jiuyao suddenly dropped to one knee. He took her hand and, like a knight pledging fealty, kissed her fingertips.
"Even if you are, I won’t let anyone touch you."
He looked up, a stubborn fire burning in his beast eyes.
"You are my Female Master. And even if you’re a goddess, you can only be *my* goddess!"
