The Villainess Wants a Divorce:Beast Husbands Regret It to Tears-Chapter 123: She Definitely Likes Him

He raised his eyes and glanced at Seraphina Caldwell.

She was nibbling on the fruit, completely unaware of what had happened.

He didn’t say a word, and quietly tucked the piece of meat into the Beast Skin Bag he carried at his waist.

He planned to warm it with the residual heat while camping at night, and quietly save it for her to eat.

Kaelan Hawthorne held that piece of meat.

The People of Jasper Quinn are naturally weak, their bloodline carries chills, and most of their people are not good at hunting.

Even their daily diet is mostly light fruit and grains, and they usually avoid any smell of meat.

But now, what they have in hand is such fresh meat.

This could not have come from temporary hunting.

Could it be...

Seraphina had quietly hidden it earlier?

She did it alone, secretly preparing these before the departure?

He didn’t reveal it nor did he ask further.

This meat is not simple.

And she is far from simple on the surface.

Evan Orwell took the meat, but did not eat it immediately, just quietly holding it in his palm.

His gaze remained fixed on Seraphina’s back.

He watched for quite a while until Seraphina shifted her position, then he slowly withdrew his sight and took a slow bite of the meat.

The rain fell increasingly heavy.

The ground turned soft with mud, sticking to the soles of shoes with each step.

Gideon Larkin finished the meat in three bites.

He wiped his mouth and casually rubbed his sleeve, then energetically hopped in front of Seraphina.

His form flickered, and in an instant, he transformed into a mighty golden lion shape.

"Seraphina, get on! I’ll carry you! What’s a little rain, watch me stomp fire out of the muddy ground!"

"Don’t lie down!"

Seraphina was startled, quickly stepping forward to grab the fluffy mane around his neck.

"The ground is all muddy, if you lie down you’ll get dirty, your fur will be covered in mud. I can get on myself, really, no need to bother you."

Gideon paused, his golden beast eyes widening slightly.

She’s not bothered by the mud, nor afraid he can’t carry her, she’s worried he’ll get dirty.

A moment later, he chuckled softly, his tail gently wagging.

"I’m a lion, I don’t get dirty that easily."

Immediately, his ears perked up.

She cares so much about him...

She definitely likes him.

"Be careful, hold on to my mane tightly, don’t fall."

Seraphina smiled and nodded.

She leaped lightly, sitting steadily on his back, lowering her center of gravity, bending her knees slightly, sticking firmly to his back.

"Holding on tight?"

He dared not look back, afraid that if he saw her sitting on his back, he’d burst into silly laughter.

Only after she responded "Hm," did he slowly straighten up.

Gideon’s steps were steady on the muddy road.

He deliberately smoothed out the wet mane, fearing it would prick Seraphina’s delicate skin.

Whenever he encountered uneven terrain, he’d slow down, gently tap with his toes, ensuring it was safe before lifting his foot to cross.

If a mud puddle was too deep, he’d detour around it, willing to spend extra time rather than let her bounce even slightly.

Isaac Vaughn sat in a wooden barrel, right next to him.

His gaze fell on Seraphina’s rain-dampened hair tips.

Soon, a light blue glow appeared on his fingertips.

Silently, a transparent shield unfolded above her head.

The falling raindrops hit the shield and slid to either side.

Seraphina suddenly felt warmth above her head.

She looked up and noticed the faint glow of the barrier.

"Isaac, the rain isn’t heavy, don’t waste your energy, take it back."

Once spiritual power is overused, recovery is very slow, especially during a long journey.

Using it for rain protection feels wasteful.

The journey is tiring enough; she doesn’t want him to waste energy.

If a fierce beast suddenly appeared, and spiritual power ran low, it would be dangerous.

She couldn’t bear that consequence.

Isaac’s fingertips paused slightly, eventually retracting the Energy Shield.

The light blue glow disappeared into the rain.

Raindrops fell back onto her hair.

He stared at the water droplets on her hair tips, his heart suddenly clutched.

The Beast Skin Bag clearly held the waterproof Deep Sea Giant Beast Skin, barrier against water, why had he forgotten to make her a coat?

Even a small cape would suffice.

If only he had known earlier, she wouldn’t be slowly drenched by the rain now.

"Okay."

He silently swore to himself.

No matter what, he must find a place to rest tonight.

Then, he would make her a windproof and rainproof garment, never let her get soaked in the rain again.

At this moment, Evan Orwell, who had been flying at the front of the team, suddenly sped up.

With a swish, he darted into the dense and deep forest ahead.

Seraphina was slightly stunned.

Just about to speak, before her words left her lips, that figure already returned.

He had a huge leaf in his mouth.

Seraphina looked up, watched Evan’s movement overhead, hurriedly reached out to secure the leaf.

Rain splashed on the leaf surface, not a drop penetrated.

Her eyes brightened instantly.

"Thank you, Evan! With this leaf, the rain is no longer a problem!"

Evan just tilted his head lightly, casting her a faint glance.

He said nothing, just flapped his wings and flew back to the front of the team.

Seraphina was long accustomed to his reserved manner.

She didn’t feel disappointed, instead smiled, holding the leaf more steadily.

Thus, the group moved forward slowly in the rain.

Finally, Wyatt Yardley abruptly halted, turning to face everyone.

"Ahead is the swamp area. If we choose to detour, given the current weather and road conditions, we definitely can’t reach the Elephant Clan territory before dark. But if we go through the swamp directly, as long as we proceed cautiously, we can save a lot of time."

Seraphina’s heart tightened slightly, her mind immediately picturing the upcoming rainy season scene.

By then, flash floods would break out, streams would overflow, all roads would be submerged or destroyed.

If delayed any further, even the possibility of passage would be cut off.

Indeed, not a moment can be wasted.

She immediately looked up.

"Then let’s go through the swamp! We slow down, be cautious with every step, absolutely no panic."

Wyatt nodded slightly, his gaze turning to Isaac in the wooden barrel.

"Swamp terrain is difficult to navigate, dragging the barrel is too strenuous and prone to sinking. You should get out and walk a bit."

Isaac lightly acknowledged, then stood up from the barrel.

Seraphina lowered her head, gazing at the muddy ground beneath her feet.

She understood, this terrain was indeed too burdensome for Gideon.

So she gently patted Gideon’s neck fluffed mane.

"Gideon, I’ll get off and walk. This area is too challenging, carrying me would be even more exhausting for you. I can manage."

Gideon immediately shook his head.

"No way! You’re as light as a feather, if you get down your feet will be covered in mud, I can’t bear it."

His brow furrowed, focused only on lowering his back even more.

Seraphina felt a warmth in her heart.

She watched his rain-soaked profile, nose starting to ache, instinctively reaching out to pinch his soggy ear tip.

"Alright, I won’t walk, just take it slow, if you can’t hold on, then let me down."

"Don’t worry, even if my legs break, I won’t let you touch the ground!" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The muddy water had already reached his ankles, ice-cold.

Yet his stride was steady.

Seraphina suddenly shivered, lightly trembling.
