The Villainess Cannot Escape — Five Beast Husbands Chase Her Madly-Chapter 39: Her Majesty the Queen Wants to Kill Jiu Su
Imperial City, Moonlight Palace.
Su An’an had no idea that a single Blood Frenzy Pill had almost made Night Abyss suspicious of her.
Right now, she was clenching her little fists, glaring at the dining table with bitter resentment.
Crisply toasted Star Flame Wheat Bread.
Pan-fried, golden-brown Red-scaled Beast Tenderloin.
Icefield Dew Milk with a creamy skin on top.
’That Stinky Poison Flood Dragon is tempting me with delicious food again.’
’He’s asking for a beating!’
[Your Highness, the Judgement Court found traces of the Rebel Army in Zone B last night. Night Abyss led a team to investigate overnight and probably won’t be back for a while.]
’Night Abyss isn’t here?’
"He prepared this for me?"
Su An’an raised an eyebrow in surprise.
[That’s right.]
Little Pink played a recording of Night Abyss preparing breakfast.
His black Judgement Court uniform outlined his perfect physique.
Broad shoulders, narrow hips, and long legs.
The way he looked down while arranging the plates was even more mouth-watering than the Red-scaled Beast Tenderloin.
[Your Highness, don’t you think Night Abyss’s body and face are more tempting than the food on the table?]
Little Pink truly couldn’t understand.
Other females took pleasure in absorbing strong Beast Husbands.
So why did its own princess avoid them like the plague?
"I don’t think so."
Su An’an couldn’t wait to dig in.
The bread was crispy, the tenderloin was succulent, and they were a perfect match for the Icefield Dew Milk.
She squinted her eyes in enjoyment.
’Next time I need to "recharge" from Night Abyss...’
’I’ll have to control that shadow in my mind beforehand.’
’I won’t treat him like a tough bone to gnaw on anymore.’
The sound of rushing air broke the silence outside the window.
[Your Highness, the Royal Airship is here to pick you up. Hurry up and get changed so we can go.]
Little Pink instructed a butler robot to bring over a pale green Princess Gauze Skirt.
The soft, light gauze was layered like flowing, jade-green waves, shimmering with a dreamlike starlight.
Su An’an changed into the gauze skirt, put on the Pearl Crown, and let her curly, seaweed-like black hair hang down her back.
With a slender waist, almond eyes, rosy cheeks, and skin as smooth as cream, she looked utterly beautiful and noble.
[Perfect!]
Little Pink secretly snapped a hundred beautiful photos of the princess.
It planned to send them to Night Abyss and the others when it got the chance.
That would teach them not to take their good fortune for granted.
「The Golden Empire Palace.」
Queen Jelena sat upon her high seat.
She was fifty-two years old, with gaunt cheeks and deep blue eyes.
Although her stern, unsmiling expression was oppressive, one could still tell that she must have been a devastatingly beautiful woman in her youth.
"Your daughter pays her respects, Mother Empress."
Su An’an lifted her pale green skirt and curtsied gracefully.
"Explain."
Queen Jelena clapped her hands.
A golden Light Screen materialized on the wall.
Su An’an looked up.
Sure enough, it was the scandalous news about the Four Great Beast Husbands tipping Jiu Su, the female streamer.
"Reporting to the Mother Empress, this is just fabricated nonsense from clickbait accounts. Fei Zhao and the others have no connection to Jiu Su."
Su An’an smiled faintly and said in a sweet voice:
"My relationship with my Beast Husbands has been wonderful lately."
"With their help, I have already grown Spiritual Power Tentacles."
Queen Jelena’s brow furrowed. "Really?" she asked suspiciously.
Back when Su An’an’s evolution had failed,
she often fantasized about growing Spiritual Power Tentacles.
She was crazed and delirious all day long.
"It’s the absolute truth."
Su An’an connected her Spiritual Power Tentacles to her smart-brain.
A pink Light Screen lit up.
A tender green vine trembled as it unfurled.
However, she kept the Snake Fang Tentacles at its roots hidden.
A system voice announced the scan result:
[Princess Su An’an: Spiritual Power, B Level.]
"Not bad. To have recovered to B Level, it seems you have indeed been training diligently."
Queen Jelena nodded in gratification, but then frowned and asked:
"But why is your physical Level still F?"
Her expression darkened with displeasure.
"Have you still not consummated your relationship with your Beast Husbands?"
Su An’an’s heart skipped a beat, but she maintained her sweet smile and said softly,
"Mother Empress, haste makes waste. My Spiritual Power Tentacles haven’t stabilized yet."
"After a while, I will naturally consummate our relationship."
"It’s good that you have a plan, but I’m afraid some restless rats might want to steal a bite."
Queen Jelena narrowed her eyes.
On the golden Light Screen, the two words "Jiu Su" shattered into pieces.
"This Jiu Su cannot be allowed to live!"
Su An’an was dumbfounded.
’I already said the Four Great Beast Husbands have nothing to do with Jiu Su.’
’Why does Queen Jelena still want to kill her?!’
Queen Jelena picked up the Queen’s Scepter, pointed it at the center of the Light Screen, and began to give her order:
"Judgement Court, use all resources to hunt down Jiu Su. Dead or..."
"Wait!"
Su An’an hurriedly stopped her. "Mother Empress, Jiu Su is innocent. You can’t hunt her down."
"Such foolish mercy!"
Queen Jelena’s deep blue eyes were as sharp as a falcon’s, piercing straight through Su An’an.
"She’s stirring up trouble on the Empire Star Network, causing your four Beast Husbands to stand up for her."
"And you still want to let such a hidden danger remain?"
"Mother Empress, Jiu Su not only possesses profound knowledge, but she is also benevolent."
"Even when obstructed by the Empire Research Institute, she insists on teaching low-level females valuable soothing skills."
Su An’an forced herself to boast:
"Furthermore, she’s a pharmaceutical genius! The Blood Frenzy Pill she created can not only clear away medicinal toxins but also allow Beastman Warriors to frenzy without pain."
"On the Star Network, she has already become the representative of the Empire’s Holy Females."
"If you hunt her down over a little scandal like this, it will surely cause public outrage."
"A High Level Female who hides her face and identity with an S Level privacy lock cannot be allowed to remain, even if she has unparalleled talent,"
Queen Jelena said coldly.
Su An’an said cautiously,
"Mother Empress, perhaps Jiu Su has her own difficulties that force her to hide her identity?"
"So what? For the peace of the Empire, it is better to kill the innocent than to let a potential threat go free!"
Queen Jelena was dead set on eliminating Jiu Su.
[Your Highness, Her Majesty the Queen suspects Jiu Su is part of the Rebel Army. You just have to reveal your identity.]
’No!’
Cold sweat beaded on Su An’an’s forehead as her mind raced, finally landing on a good excuse.
"Mother Empress, someone must be behind Jiu Su’s appearance on the streaming platform."
"Why don’t we cast a long line to catch a big fish? Let the storm grow even bigger."
"That way, when the tide goes out, we’ll see who’s been swimming naked."
Queen Jelena raised an eyebrow, sizing Su An’an up.
After her youngest daughter’s evolution failed, she had become foolish, manic, and irritable.
She never expected her to be able to speak with such logic today.
"Mother Empress, what do you think?"
Su An’an looked at Queen Jelena expectantly.
’Agree already!’
’I don’t want to be hunted by Night Abyss!’
"There’s some sense to that. In that case, let her keep jumping around. We’ll see who’s pulling the strings from behind the scenes."
Queen Jelena slowly nodded.
"Thank you, Mother Empress."
Su An’an forced herself to stay composed and spoke with the Queen for a little while longer before finally taking her leave.
Only after walking out of the palace did she realize her back was drenched in cold sweat.
’It’s a good thing I came to the palace today.’
’Otherwise, I wouldn’t even have known how I died.’
Little Pink communicated happily:
[If the Queen knew you were Jiu Su, she would definitely see you in a new light and make you the Royal Family’s heir.]
"The imperial family is the most heartless of all. If the Queen valued blood ties, she wouldn’t have denied me even the royal surname."
Su An’an had taken her father’s surname.
Of the three hundred and eight Beast Husbands who had initially received the Queen’s favor,
only forty-four survived in the end, and her father was not among them.
Besides, she had no way of explaining how a good-for-nothing like her...
...could suddenly become a super Holy Female just by putting on an alias.
"Little Pink, you have to help me keep my identity as Jiu Su a secret," Su An’an instructed.
[Rest assured, Your Highness. As long as I’m here, your secret is safe.]
"Mm!"
Su An’an nodded and was about to turn and leave.
Suddenly, a cool, detached voice called out from behind her: "Anan!"
