The Villainess Cannot Escape — Five Beast Husbands Chase Her Madly-Chapter 157: The Out-of-Control Big Cat Takes On the 3 Beast Husbands
Su An’an gazed into Big Cat’s Gilded Beast Eyes, which were filled with unconditional trust. A sudden impulse surged through her.
She wanted to confess everything.
Just as she was about to speak, a blinding red light exploded in her sea of consciousness.
The holographic image projected by Little Pink made her freeze up:
The dismembered remains of the Divine Female from three hundred years ago were submerged in several containers of Energy Liquid, with the skeletons of seven unformed cubs still embedded in her womb.
’Your Highness! To admit is to exist.’
Little Pink’s tentacles trembled in fear:
’That Divine Female was located by the Dark Priest using the "True Name Resonance" technique only after she admitted her identity to her Beast Husband.’
’I suggest that you, in your true form, deny being the Divine Female. Then, use the Jiu Su alias to attract the attention of those mysterious powers.’
’This is also to protect Big Cat and the others.’
Su An’an bit her lower lip hard, the taste of blood spreading in her mouth.
She forced herself to look away, only to meet Ying Jiuyao’s worried gaze.
"What’s wrong?"
Big Cat’s paw gently stroked her tense back. "You look pale."
"I-It’s nothing."
She forced a smile. "I was just thinking, if a Divine Female really existed, she’d have to be a decisive and ruthless figure like the Mother Empress..."
"So you want to be like Queen Jelena and take one hundred and eighty Beast Husbands?"
Big Cat’s claws unconsciously pierced her pajamas. But when his fingertips touched the small of her back, he froze.
Although the surface of her skin was still smooth, after he had absorbed the Divine Female’s Energy,
he could clearly sense a pattern deep within Anan’s body faintly resonating with his own power.
An ancient legend suddenly exploded in his sea of consciousness:
The genetic chain blooms with divine light; ten thousand beasts tear the sky asunder, vying for the Female Emperor.
The saying was like a prophecy of the Divine Female’s return to the world.
"Don’t touch me there!"
Su An’an subconsciously slapped Big Cat’s hand away and said with a forced laugh,
"Don’t worry, I won’t be like the Mother Empress..."
"I don’t care!"
Big Cat suddenly let out a low growl, his Gilded Beast Eyes churning with a nearly frenzied fear.
He gripped her wrist so tightly it was as if he wanted to carve her into his very bones and blood.
"You can even treat me like a disposable charging station and trample me underfoot."
"Just don’t send me away. Just let me stay by your side!"
The invincible Level 3S War God on the battlefield was now humbled to the dust, all because he was terrified of losing her.
Su An’an looked at his reddened eyes, her heart feeling as if it were being brutally torn apart by sharp claws.
She sighed softly, her voice full of heartache. "I can barely handle the four of you. How could I ever be like the Mother Empress?"
"Then just handle the four of us!"
Big Cat suddenly bit her lip, his voice choked with a near-pleading sob. "Please..."
"Even if one day you decide to overthrow the entire Empire, I will first crush every obstacle for you, personally sever every dissenting voice, and then kneel before you to await your judgment."
Scorching kisses trailed down to her collarbone, each one like an engraved vow.
"Until you drain every last drop of my power, exhaust my very life, or I die for you on the battlefield, my soul returning to the Star Sea."
"You fool."
An image of the white lion specimen in front of Queen Jelena’s portrait flashed uncontrollably through Su An’an’s mind.
Even in death, it maintained its pose of guarding the throne, its frozen features etched with loyalty and devotion.
She grabbed Big Cat’s paw, her nails digging deep into his palm.
"I’m desperately trying to get stronger not just to protect myself, but to keep all of you safe."
"Okay!"
Big Cat’s anxiety gradually subsided. Seeing the dark circles under Su An’an’s eyes, a pang of heartache instantly drowned out the paranoia and unease in his heart.
He was shocked to realize just how much pressure Anan had been under recently, all to hide her secret and increase her strength.
He quickly said in a soft voice, "It’s late. You should get some sleep. You have that banquet to attend tomorrow!"
"Okay!"
Su An’an gave a tired yawn.
The constant mental strain of the past few days had left her utterly exhausted. Her head had barely hit the pillow before she fell into a deep sleep.
Big Cat watched her peaceful sleeping face, but the worry in his heart only intensified.
He gently kissed the dampness from her eyelashes, his fingertips tracing imperceptibly over the small of her back.
The Energy there had vanished, but it still carried a hidden danger.
Big Cat snapped his head up, his Gilded Beast Eyes tinged with scarlet as silver-white tiger stripes spread across his body.
The roiling emotions inside him caused his Energy to spiral out of control, and in an instant, he vanished from the bedroom.
「In the meeting hall, a holographic projection cast a blue glow across the walls.」
Lan Cangming pointed to the last corner of a map of the Administrative Hall and said to Fei Zhao and Night Abyss,
"We need to station people here, too. For tomorrow’s banquet, we must ensure Anan’s..."
Before he could finish, the alloy door suddenly slid open.
Big Cat barged in with his head hung low, reeking of strong Tequila, the silver-white tiger stripes faintly visible on his skin.
Fei Zhao’s ears twitched. All nine of his tails bristled at once, their tips morphing into the shape of flames.
"Well, well, if our great Commander Ying has finally deigned to crawl out of the Female Master’s bed?"
He deliberately leaned closer, the tip of one tail curling around his Light Brain to pull up a timer interface.
"You only lasted two hours and seven minutes attending to her this time. Not very impressive, are you!"
"Fox, that’s enough."
Lan Cangming said with a frown.
Fei Zhao had no intention of backing down. Instead, he flicked out a holographic projection, and the pink cover of the "Female Master Care Manual" exploded into view in mid-air.
"If your technique is poor, you should read more. Don’t hurt the Female Master, lest you get kicked out of her room again..."
"Shut up!" Big Cat suddenly roared, the sound wave making the levitating lamps shake violently.
The image of Su An’an’s exhausted sleeping face flashed through his mind, along with the bloody scene of the dismembered Divine Female from three hundred years ago.
Uncontrolled Energy rampaged through his meridians.
Lan Cangming’s pupils suddenly contracted. He was the first to realize something was wrong.
The air around Big Cat began to twist, forming a visible vortex.
Fei Zhao was about to retort with another taunt, but Big Cat suddenly lunged at him.
He had just ignited Fox Fire in his palm when Big Cat grabbed him by the scruff of the neck, flung him aside, and sent him crashing into the alloy wall with a dull THUD.
Fei Zhao staggered back to his feet, his tails flaring up like flames. "What the hell is wrong with you?"
Before he could finish speaking, Big Cat had already backhanded Night Abyss by his dragon horns, slammed him to the ground, and pinned him with a knee pressed firmly into his back.
"Big Cat, stop!"
Lan Cangming frowned, waving his hand to send dozens of Ice Spikes shooting through the air.
Electric currents surged around Big Cat’s body as he raised a fist and shattered the ice projectiles.
The next second, he teleported in front of Lan Cangming, and the shockwave from his punch sent him flying.
"The guy’s lost control! All of us, together!"
Night Abyss stared at Big Cat’s blood-red pupils as black Dragon Scales erupted all over his body.
An Ice Sword formed in Lan Cangming’s hand, while Fei Zhao’s Fox Fire distorted the air into an Illusion Realm.
Three figures lunged at once, weaving a net of sharp claws, poisonous mist, and Ice Blades.
Big Cat roared and fought back, the force of his claws gouging deep marks into the metal floor.
After several fierce exchanges, Night Abyss, Fei Zhao, and Lan Cangming finally managed to pin Big Cat down.
With a long howl, the scarlet in Big Cat’s eyes gradually faded, and the silver-white tiger stripes receded back into his honey-colored skin.
"Didn’t you just bond with Anan? How did you still lose control?"
Fei Zhao rubbed his numb arm, eyeing Big Cat suspiciously.
"Also, when did you get so strong? The three of us could barely hold you down."
"I broke through to 4S."
Big Cat suddenly flipped over and sat up. His tiger ears twitched amidst his silver hair, and golden electrical currents CRACKLED in his palms.
He looked around at the three astonished men, his voice as rough as gravel. "It’s because I absorbed Anan’s Energy."
The meeting hall instantly fell deathly silent.
