The Villainess Cannot Escape — Five Beast Husbands Chase Her Madly-Chapter 20: Useless Teammate, Live Stream Disaster
"FUCK! Which one of you bastards called me a cowardly lion?!"
Cedric let out a deafening roar, "I’m going to rip out the throats of you keyboard-tapping freaks!"
Lei Ya’s eight tentacles surged like furious waves, his suction cups oozing corrosive mucus. "Wanna eat my tentacles?"
He bared a mouthful of sharp teeth in a sinister grin. "Careful you don’t choke and have them burst out your ass!"
Leng Qingfeng’s snake scales bristled, and his vertical pupils narrowed to thin slits. "According to Article 37 of the Interstellar Criminal Law."
His poisonous fangs glinted. "Insulting a superior officer is punishable by death!"
"What’s going on?!"
Noland frantically opened the control panel, only to find that Nick had activated the bullet-comment projection for the Mad Beasts without permission.
He grabbed Nick by the collar, his sharp fox claws leaving five bloody scratches on Nick’s face. "Are you fucking crazy?!"
Nick nonchalantly wiped the blood from his face, a provocative smile on his lips. "They can’t even handle a little mockery."
He pointed at the skyrocketing viewership numbers. "And they want to be influencer Mad Beasts?"
"I’ll deal with you later!"
Noland spun around and roared, "Admin! Ban those troll accounts immediately!"
[Interstellar Admin: 32,000 illegal comments detected. Accounts have been banned for 120 days and fined 8,000 Gold Coins per account.]
[System Alert: 42,815 users have gone offline in an emergency.]
Noland’s fingertips flew as he turned off the comment projection, but he saw the three Mad Beasts’ pupils had already turned a terrifying blood-red.
CRACK!
The restraints made a gut-wrenching tearing sound.
Leng Qingfeng’s Judgement Court uniform burst open, his long, dark green hair writhing like a nest of vipers.
"A bunch of scumbags dare to mess with me?"
With every word he spoke, his venom corroded a hole in the floor.
Cedric’s body swelled to two meters tall, his golden mane bristling.
"I’m going to tear this damn stream room apart!" The restraining ropes strained into thin threads against his bulging arms.
BOOM!
Lei Ya’s tentacles ripped right through the ceiling, the corrosive fluid from his suction cups melting scorch marks into the equipment.
"No one here today is getting away!"
「Outside the stream room.」
"Director Noland, this is bad!"
The weasel assistant scrambled in. "The Jiu Su stream accident is the number one trending topic! Company stock has plummeted by 8%!"
Nick snatched the Light Brain. "Useless!"
He pointed at the real-time data and roared, "The number of complaints has surpassed two million! The Interstellar Supervision Bureau is going to permanently shut down our channel!"
"Cut the power immediately!"
Nick turned to rush toward the main control room.
Noland blocked him in a flash. "A forced shutdown will severely damage Jiu Su’s and the three Mad Beasts’ Spiritual Seas!"
"To hell with their Spiritual Seas!"
Nick slammed his fist against the wall.
"The entire company is about to be ruined because of this female who came out of nowhere."
Just as the tension between them reached its peak, an alarm suddenly blared.
[S Level Energy Alert! Stream room on the verge of collapse!]
[Viewer retention has dropped below 3%! A new all-time low!]
At that moment, the entire Star Network fell into an eerie silence.
In the minds of the Beastmen who had left the Jiu Su stream, long-buried nightmares surfaced in unison.
The sharpened claws of a berserk instructor piercing a comrade’s chest.
A best friend going mad, tearing apart not only his restraints, but also their shared vows.
DRIP.
A drop of cold sweat fell from Noland’s forehead to the floor.
He stared mechanically at the Jiu Su stream.
’It’s over. It’s all over!’
...
「In the control room for Su An’an’s stream.」
Messages from Noland were popping up frantically, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
[Lord Jiu Su! Lei Ya and the others have gone berserk! Only their contracted fiancée can get close!]
[Pacification failed! Run! Your life is the top priority!]
Su An’an stared at the screen, the corner of her mouth twitching.
’What kind of interstellar joke is this?’
’She hadn’t even finished saying "Hello, everyone."’
’And these three Mad Beasts just went crazy on the spot, like they’d gotten their heads caught in a door.’ 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
’They really are sick in the head. The terminal kind!’
Little Pink spat out a series of messages, bouncing like it was at a rave.
[Your Highness! Latest battle report!]
[Viewers are fleeing your stream at a rate of 30,000+ per second, faster than rabbits being chased by Mutant Beasts!]
[Should I play "Good Luck Comes" to steady the troops’ morale?]
Su An’an: "..."
[There’s more exciting news!]
Little Pink projected an image at light speed.
[One of Noland’s subordinates secretly turned on the bullet comments for the Mad Beasts. Now the whole Star Network is watching them get triggered by netizens!]
"That useless Noland!"
Su An’an was so angry her head throbbed.
’I ran simulations for eight hundred different accidents, but I forgot to account for incompetent teammates!’
Little Pink: [Calm down, calm down! According to Article 3 of the *Interstellar Streaming Survival Guide*.]
[When your test subjects go crazy, the best solution is...]
[To be even crazier than them! (Emoji: Berserk Rabbit)]
Su An’an: "..., is it too late for me to switch systems?"
[Too late!]
Little Pink’s alarm suddenly blared wildly.
[Warning! Lei Ya’s tentacles are mutating wildly.]
[Cedric’s Lion Roar Skill has reached 120 decibels!]
[Leng Qingfeng’s venom is corroding the stream’s protective shield!]
[In another ten minutes, they’ll go completely berserk and tear down the whole building.]
Su An’an gritted her teeth. "So, what’s your solution?"
Little Pink said seriously:
[Based on big data analysis.]
[A. Kneel and call them ’Daddy.’]
[B. Play dead.]
[C. Be crazier than them (Recommended Option).]
Su An’an sneered. "I choose D: format you and see if you still act so smug."
[Your Highness, calm down! I was just trying to joke with you!]
Little Pink instantly cowered.
[Actually, there’s a hidden option: use your Spiritual Power Whip to viciously whip them back to their senses.]
"Now that’s more like it!"
Su An’an took control of her empress avatar in the stream. Her Spiritual Power Tentacles, with a WHOOSH, condensed into a long, imperial whip gleaming with golden light.
CRACK!
The first lash struck Leng Qingfeng, blasting his snake scales off on the spot. "You go crazy at the slightest provocation? Is this all a Judgement Court adjutant is capable of?"
CRACK!
The second lash flew at Cedric, and his roar came to an abrupt halt. "Keep roaring. See if I don’t take your fangs and embed them in my heels."
CRACK!
The third lash wrapped around Lei Ya’s flailing tentacles. "Interstellar Law, Article 38: exposing your tentacles in front of a female is punishable by up to three years in prison!"
She sneered, "Move again, and I’ll let you experience life without any tentacles."
The three Mad Beasts froze instantly.
Leng Qingfeng’s venom flowed back into his scales.
Cedric’s mane drooped like a wilted dandelion.
Lei Ya’s tentacles, with a ZWIP, retracted under his arms, making him look just like a schoolboy caught misbehaving by the principal.
Noland shrieked from the control room: [Lord Jiu Su! Are you pacifying them or flogging them?!]
[Wait, why do the three Mad Beasts seem to have calmed down?]
Little Pink gave a real-time report:
[Your Highness! The whole vibe of the stream has suddenly changed!]
[Current trending keywords in the comments: 1. Queen Behavior. 2. I want to be whipped. 3. Does Jiu Su need a pet?]
[Viewer retention has skyrocketed by 200%! Donation amount has surpassed—]
"Shut up." Su An’an flicked her whip toward the chaotic comment section.
"Keep making noise and I’ll whip you all, too."
The entire stream fell silent.
Even the bullet comments obediently changed to a uniform message: [Yes, My Queen!]
