The Villainess Wants a Divorce:Beast Husbands Regret It to Tears-Chapter 155: He Doesn’t Dare to Gamble

But this is the territory of the Elephant Clan, and such anger can’t be vented here.

Isaac Vaughn stood in the corner, fingers gently brushing the edge of his skirt.

Concealing the scar left by Silas Shaw when he plucked out his scales.

Thinking of the pain of his scales being torn out, his eyes instantly turned cold.

The last time Seraphina Caldwell helped him grow new scales, they were brutally ripped apart by Silas Shaw, turning into a bloody mess.

If he reverted to his beast form, his tail would already be mottled and unbearable to look at.

He kept silent, but his eyes were filled with irrepressible hatred.

Wyatt Yardley suppressed his emotions.

"Now is not the time to get ruthless. Since The Beast King is here, with Silas Shaw hurting his female partner, at least half his power must be wasted."

"Let’s wait for him to punish first."

Wyatt Yardley paused, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

"If the punishment is light, we’ll find another opportunity. What he owes us will have to be paid back eventually. This debt will not be wiped clean."

Kaelan Hawthorne’s lips twitched, trembling slightly.

He looked down at the medicine jar in his hand and spoke softly.

"Today, the Witch Doctor of the Elephant Clan said you wouldn’t survive the night. With wounds festering, meridians broken, and excessive blood loss, you shouldn’t have lasted until the third watch."

"But how did you recover so quickly? Even the scabs are almost formed. I guess it’s Seraphina Caldwell who used some special method."

"Seraphina Caldwell?"

Gideon Larkin was taken aback, touching the wound on his arm.

Where it was originally burning and painful, now only a faint heat remained.

He muttered.

"She’s not even a Witch Doctor, where did she get this ability? She usually can’t even tell herbs apart, how did she suddenly gain the power to bring the dead back to life?"

Kaelan Hawthorne shook his head, then glanced around to ensure no one was nearby before lowering his voice.

"I also don’t know what she used. But she doesn’t want anyone to know she has this ability. When treating the wounds earlier, she deliberately left some shallow wounds and intentionally applied herbs to the already healed wounds. It was just to avoid arousing suspicion."

"She clearly could heal the wounds with a touch, visibly making them heal with the naked eye, yet she pretends to be powerless, only daring to use ordinary ointments. She is hiding, hiding deeply."

Wyatt Yardley’s gaze flickered.

"No one’s allowed to mention this. If outsiders knew about Seraphina Caldwell’s ability, Silas Shaw would definitely come rushing in like a madman, as ravenous as a starving wolf, a relentless pursuit. Other males would also fixate on her, treating her as a rare and valuable prize."

"At that time, she’ll be even more in danger."

"And not just outsiders. Even within this Elephant Clan, how many pairs of eyes are already secretly watching her? Who wouldn’t be tempted by a female with the ability to bring the dead to life and heal bones and flesh?"

The Beast Husbands present all understood.

Even without this ability, there were already males overtly attempting to seize her.

A few days ago, someone even blocked her outside her cave, throwing down beast bones and colorful feathers, openly declaring their desire to take her as a mate.

At that time, she was just a normal female, yet she attracted so much attention.

If people knew she could heal injuries, those males would likely burst into her cave to seize her directly.

Even if it means tearing their reputation, disregarding tribal rules, they’d still bind and take her away.

At that time, not to mention tranquility, even her life might be in jeopardy.

He paused, his gaze landing on Gideon Larkin.

"She doesn’t want anyone to discover this ability. If you still want to keep her here, keep your lips sealed. Don’t ask questions you shouldn’t, not a single word."

Others understood with just a word but Gideon Larkin’s mind liked to wander.

If it wasn’t clearly spelled out, he really wouldn’t grasp the seriousness.

Gideon Larkin was stunned, his pupils slightly enlarging before realizing the severity of the situation, and he nodded hastily.

"I get it! I won’t say a thing! I’ll pretend to be deaf even if someone asks, and even in front of Seraphina Caldwell, I’ll act as if I’m blind! Absolutely no word will leak out!"

Wyatt Yardley glanced again at Kaelan Hawthorne.

Kaelan Hawthorne immediately understood, nodding in agreement, he also didn’t want to let Seraphina Caldwell go.

Finally, Wyatt Yardley took a cold glance at Aidan Sullivan.

He still maintained a stoic expression without a trace of fluctuation.

However, he eventually lightly nodded.

Wyatt Yardley continued,

"When the Witch Doctor comes tomorrow, everyone pretend to be a bit weaker. My injuries look terrifying, drenched in blood, but I’ve long been able to move. Yet, I’ll act as if I can’t even walk or stand up."

"Isaac Vaughn, you recover the fastest and are physically strong, making it easiest to be exposed. Keep a low profile, walk slower, speak weakly, don’t let anyone see that you’ve healed."

"Gideon Larkin, continue pretending to be unconscious, don’t open your eyes, understand? Don’t suddenly get excited and look around, or it’ll all be over."

Fearing he might expose them, it was better to have him appear dead, after all he’s already skilled at pretending.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Kaelan Hawthorne suddenly spoke.

"Aidan Sullivan, is the rainy season really coming?"

Aidan Sullivan was silent for a few seconds before speaking softly. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Judging by this weather, the humidity, the wind shifting south, and the dense clouds, it’ll start by tomorrow night."

With the arrival of the rainy season, Seraphina Caldwell will go into heat.

This is an unavoidable biological cycle for each female ability wielder upon reaching adulthood.

Intense and painful, accompanied by mental agitation and rising body temperature.

If there’s no male to soothe or special means to suppress, it could lead to psychological collapse at best, or severe bodily damage at worst.

Yet now, her father has yet to be found, his whereabouts unknown, life or death uncertain.

Silas Shaw remains out there, watching like a hawk, ready to track them down at any time.

What’s worse, there isn’t even enough stored food for winter, prey is scarce, and reserves are critical.

Aidan Sullivan understood what they feared.

He spoke softly.

"I can use spiritual power to suppress her symptoms. I won’t let her lose control or be overly distressed. During this time, we’ll focus on other matters, finding people, clearing enemies, and stocking food."

Wyatt Yardley immediately inquired.

"Suppress? Will it affect her body? Will it harm her meridians or leave aftereffects?"

Seraphina Caldwell has just reached adulthood; this is her first experience in heat, her constitution is still unstable.

He dared not gamble, fearing that forcible suppression would leave irreversible damage.

Aidan Sullivan shook his head.

"The heat remains, emotions and instincts will persist, but it won’t be as painful or agitated. She won’t lose control or harm herself. But to truly ease it, the best way is... Bonding."

Wyatt Yardley felt a sinking in his heart; he knew Seraphina Caldwell too well.

She was stubborn, proud, never willing to bow easily.

In such matters, she would never bring it up first.

Moreover, she wouldn’t hastily contract a lifelong bond while crises remain unresolved and her relatives are still outside.

Grinding his teeth, he continued,

"Then use your spiritual power to stabilize her first. Once we deal with Silas Shaw, find her father, and eliminate all threats, we’ll figure something out. If there’s not enough food, we’ll borrow some from The Beast King. Once things are settled, we’ll head into the mountains to hunt, even if it means starving ourselves; she must not go hungry."

Wyatt Yardley’s gaze then swept towards Seraphina Caldwell.

"Don’t bring up the Bonding yet."

"Seraphina is yet to mature fully, her bones and meridians are still growing, she can’t withstand too big a shock."

"Moreover, this is her first time experiencing this, if rushed, her emotions unstable and her body damaged, what then?"

"Until we find her biological father and understand her lineage, until Silas Shaw’s unlawful fire completely settles and the threats are gone, no one dare rush or force her, I’ll be the first to disagree."
